During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 429: The Happiness of Mr. Zhao
"Saving Mr. Wu" is released.

Although it is a sole production of Shanhe Media, Wei Jin's allies are very supportive. Whether it is China Film, Shangying, or Wanda's theaters, they have given an average screening share of no less than 30%. Shanhe Cinemas and Golden Harvest have even allocated 40% of the screening share.

As a result, this movie, which cost only 33 million to produce, had an average screening rate of 3%, even surpassing "Men in Black ", making many production companies envious.

The creators’ crazy roadshow promotion has also begun.

This was Lu Yang's first attempt at a realistic subject, and he felt a little nervous.

There's nothing we can do about it. Who asked the movie to be under the pressure of several Hollywood blockbusters?

The same goes for King Liu. Since "The Martian", his movies have almost flopped one after another. Although he didn't get much pay this time, he was willing to follow the roadshow throughout just to get rid of the label of "box office poison" from his head.

In comparison, Sun Honglei's mentality is much better.

Just coming out of a cinema in Beijing, the two leading actors, King Liu and Sun Honglei, were surrounded by movie fans.

"Hua Zai, I love you."

"Andy, you acted really well"

"."

The screams that came one after another made everyone in the crew look sideways. They finally got out of the crowd and got on the Coaster directly.

"Brother Hua, your popularity is terrifying."

Sun Honglei couldn't help but sigh.

Although he has been in the industry for many years and has become a popular male actor in mainland China, he is limited by his appearance and is far inferior to the popularity that King Liu has accumulated over decades in the fields of film, television and music.

There really is no comparison, no comparison!
"Hey, Hong Lei, don't underestimate yourself. There were quite a few fans who called out Ding Qing and Yu Zecheng just now, haha."

King Liu has a very high emotional intelligence, and this made Sun Honglei smile.

Seeing the two people bragging about their business, Lu Yang also joined in, but he was curious about some gossip.

"Brother Hong Lei, is the previous incident in "White Deer Plain" true?"

There were rumors in the industry before that when Wang Quanan was planning to shoot "White Deer Plain", he invited Sun Honglei, who directly asked for 20 yuan a day and only gave him a one-month schedule.

This seems to be a case of him being a big shot, but after getting along with Sun Honglei, Lu Yang feels that he is not that kind of person, so he has this doubt.

“That’s true.”

To Lu Yang's surprise, Sun Honglei admitted it directly, but then began to explain.

"At the time, I was filming 'Three Guns', and then I had to join the crew of 'Eyewitness', and then there were 'Fair Gentlemen' and 'The Road to Life'. It was impossible for me to squeeze out time, so I just mentioned the price to scare him."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "What if he agrees?"

"How is it possible? Where does he get so much money?"

Sun Honglei shook his head with a wicked smile on his face. There was one thing he didn't say, which was that he didn't think much of "White Deer Plain".

After all, he has become so popular since "Insidious" and "New World". All the big directors approach him, so he will definitely shoot the movies before the big directors.

In comparison, people like Wang Quanan will definitely have to sit in the back row.

"By the way, Director Lu, what do you think the box office of this movie will be?"

“It’s hard to say, but looking at the current attendance, it’s still pretty good.”

Listening to Lu Yang's words, Liu Tianwang and Sun Honglei both nodded.

Perhaps it was because the original "New World" was too deeply rooted in people's hearts, netizens showed great interest in this movie which was the second collaboration between "Ding Qing" and "Li Zicheng".

Although it was a weekday, the occupancy rate of the two cinemas they visited in the morning was over 60%.

According to this data, at least we can guarantee that the screening schedule will not be reduced. What happens next will still depend on the reputation of the movie.

"Okay, let's take a break. We have several days of hard fighting ahead."

"Don't worry, Director Lu."

While Lu Yang and others were frantically on the roadshow, "Big Shot" welcomed a very important scene - the first meeting between Sun Wukong and Zhao Tai.

In this scene, the Wei and Jin version made some slight changes to some details.

First, Sun Wukong was introduced to Zhao Tai by his old classmate. So, didn’t Wang Feng, the old classmate, know about Zhao Tai’s virtue and Sun Wukong’s stubbornness? So I added a conversation between the two in the passage as a reminder to my friend.

Second, Sun Wukong came to ask for favors, and he should be mentally prepared when entering such an occasion. In the original version, Sun Wukong acted too much and did not behave like someone who should ask for favors at all. He is a righteous policeman, but not a mentally retarded person.

So he was prepared to drink at the beginning, but because he saw people related to the casino case on the scene and vaguely saw white powder, he became alert and refused again and again.

This scene was very lively to shoot because a large number of guest actors appeared in it.

Deng Chao, Zhang Yi, Hu Ge, Fan Bingbing, and Yang Mi.

Deng Chao plays himself, Zhang Yi plays Sun Wukong's good friend Wang Feng, Hu Ge plays the playmate at the table, and Yang Mi and Fan Bingbing play the two insulted female stars.

The monitor shows the various aspects of the nightclub: strong drum beats, noisy crowds, charming and sexy women, and men crazy with lust.
As the camera turned to the private room, the noise stopped temporarily and Deng Chao appeared, but he only had one line.

"Hello, I'm Deng Chao!"

"I know you, you watched Young Emperor and The Four, but the best one is Running Man."

The camera moves forward, the door opens, and a group of young people appear in the picture. The most eye-catching are the models with long white legs and cool clothes.

The camera then turned to Huang Xuan, who was wearing an expensive vest suit, holding a cigar in his hand and holding Yang Mi in his arms.

What followed was the start of a head-on confrontation between the two.

Wei Jin's version is more like the Korean version of "The Veteran", with Huang Xuan's character Zhao Tai becoming extremely excited because of the cigar.

Just because of Sun Wukong's words "Is this what the second generation of rich people play with?", Huang Xuan suddenly got angry and started to torment the female star. He threw the cake on the table onto Yang Mi's face, and picked up a stainless steel cup full of ice cubes and slowly poured it into Fan Bingbing's chest.

During the whole process, Zhao Tai, played by Huang Xuan, had madness and provocation in his eyes, but Hu Jun did not show much expression because Wang Feng had reminded him in advance. He just stared at him with a smile on his face.

Huang Xuan went a step further and cleared the table. Then he knelt on the table and showed his neurotic side to Hu Jun: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. We rich second-generations only know how to play these games."

Hu Jun remained unmoved, so Huang Xuan had no choice but to sit down and jokingly said, "It seems our Officer Sun is not fooled. I thought you would just knock me down like in the movies."

Holding Fan Bingbing in his arms again, Huang Xuan seemed to have regained his gentle and elegant self.

"It's such a pity that we didn't get to see our Officer Sun show his prowess."

The camera moves to a medium shot, and the whole audience laughs, but Mr. Hu's expression gradually becomes serious: "Mr. Zhao is really funny, but it's fun, but you must not break the law!"

"Hehe, I'm not a fool. I'm living a good life. Why should I seek excitement? Come on, let's have a drink."

Huang Xuan twitched his nose habitually, with a condescending smile on his face.

Huang Xuan drank wine and Hu Jun drank water, the difference was clear.

"Ka! This one passed!"

After watching the video on the monitor, Wei Jin gave the order. He looked up and saw that it was already early morning. The scene was shot six times, which took more than four hours.

"Everyone, clean up and have a midnight snack together. Also, the crew will have half a day off tomorrow."

The crew cheered.

Hu Ge looked around, walked to the monitor, and picked up Wei Jin's loudspeaker.

"Director Wei, please go to my store. Mr. Hu will pay for all the expenses tonight!"

"Hahaha, Lao Hu, just based on your attitude, I will definitely buy this order from you, haha"

Wei Jin made a joke and everyone at the scene started laughing.

At this moment, Huang Mengying came over with a mobile phone and said, "Boss, the first day box office is out."

"How many?"

"2260 million!"

"Wow! Congratulations, Director Wei."

Most of the actors present were not newbies and fully understood what the first-day box office on this weekday meant, and congratulations rang out one after another.

To be honest, Wei Jin was also surprised by this result. Under the pressure of several Hollywood films, he was still able to achieve this first-day result, which was already quite good.

“How’s the reputation?”

"Impression.com scored 7.9 points."

Wei Jin smiled when he heard this. Even though the movie had just been released and the ratings were not accurate yet, it at least meant that the movie's reputation was stable and the subsequent box office was definitely worth looking forward to.

"Everyone, let's not go home until we are drunk tonight!"

"Great!"

Everyone in the crew cheered, except Hu Ge, who looked embarrassed.

"Boss Wei, I only have sake. If I get drunk, I'm afraid I'll go bankrupt."

"Hahaha"

When a group of people get together, what they eat is not important, what they talk about is important.

In a private room of a Japanese restaurant, Wei Jin, Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, Deng Chao, Hu Ge, Zhang Yi, Zhang Li, Hu Jun and others gathered together and talked about topics that interested each other.

"Old Hu, how long will it take for Thousand Mountains and Dusk Snow to appear?"

The drama was filmed in Hangzhou and Zhoushan, which are only about 100 to 200 kilometers away from Shanghai, which is why Hu Ge was able to come for a guest appearance.

"According to the progress, it will probably take more than half a month."

Wei Jin nodded. This drama has 30 episodes in total, and the production cycle is about three months, which is quite normal.

"Brother Chao, how is the recording of Running Man going?"

Since the show was launched for two seasons, its broadcast time has been gradually adjusted, starting in mid-June and ending around National Day, focusing on the summer season and avoiding other variety shows of Shanhe Media.

Therefore, the latest fourth season has already started recording in early May.

"It's OK. We have recorded four episodes so far."

Wei Jin nodded, but a smile appeared on his face when he looked at Deng Chao, "Brother Chao, I wanted to make you relax a little, but I didn't expect that it would make you even busier, haha."

After the promotional roadshow for "The Four" is over, the second part will start shooting. Deng Chao will have to run back and forth between the two, which is really busy.

Fortunately, the recording of variety shows like "Running Man" is relatively simple. In most cases, one episode only takes one or two days, so it doesn't have much impact.

"It's better to be busy, it's better to be busy, the expenses are too high recently, haha"

Deng Chao's words caused a lot of laughter at the scene. At the end of last year, his family had a big fat boy, so didn't that cost a lot?

Hu Jun, who was standing by, heard this and said with a smile, "Hey, Chao'er, where have you been so far? Let me tell you..."

Hu Jun looked like an elder brother imparting his experience. He was a graduate of the 87th class of the Central Academy of Drama, more than ten years older than Deng Chao who was a graduate of the 00 class. The latter was also listening to his teachings with a respectful look on his face.

Watching the two grown men discussing their experiences in raising children, Wei Jin suddenly remembered that there was a variety show that could be launched.

Fan Bingbing and Zhang Yi are about to start promoting "Pacific Rim 2". As the boss, Wei Jin naturally has to cheer them on.

So for tonight's double act, Wei Jin let Fan Bingbing go to the table first.

On the big white bed, Fan Bingbing's round and firm buttocks were raised high, and Wei Jin was behind her.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

She couldn't tell whether it was the sound of cards being played or the sound of Wei Jin clapping. In any case, these sounds penetrated into Yang Mi's ears and made her feel hot all over.

As if seeing that Yang Mi was ready to make a move, Wei Jin reached out and pulled the woman over and began to give her instructions. The latter immediately started to hum and whine.

"Mi Mi, stop yelling and help her."

"Brother, how can I help you in this situation?"

"Stupid, you can't get in?"

Yang Mi understood what he meant as soon as she heard it, and obediently put her head into the gap between Fan Bingbing's hands, and her beautiful red lips were pressed against the big orange.

"Ah~~"

Wei Jin and Yang Mi worked together to make Fan Bingbing's singing become louder and louder. Seeing this, Yang Mi also covered her with his hands.

About ten minutes later, Wei Jin noticed the woman under him and knew that the game was coming to an end.

Wei and Jin Dynasties, when this woman was struggling to death.

After a full minute or two, Fan Bingbing stopped struggling, and Yang Mi, who had been waiting for a long time, came close to him.

Wei Jin slapped Yang Mi's already blushing face hard, and the latter opened her lips slightly.

"Well"

The time for shuffling was very short, after all, it was Wei and Jin, and this time, Wei and Jin made the choice.

To be honest, after long-term training, Yang Mi's card skills are pretty good, but unfortunately, his weaknesses were exposed early on.

Wei and Jin almost left no way out, and each time they used a trump card, so as soon as he got to the table, Yang Mi was almost at an absolute disadvantage and was beaten to tears.

In less than twenty minutes, Yang Mi lost the game.

Fan Bingbing, who had recovered from his shock, wanted to fight again, and Wei Jin had no objection.

So this night, the ice and the dense flew together, making Wei Jin feel the happiness of "Zhao Tai"
