During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 432: The Four-Player Mahjong Game

The official website of Beijing Film Academy announced the list of all graduate students graduating this year, among which Guo Fan and Zhao Yanzi are the most eye-catching.

Both of them received the title of outstanding graduates in their respective majors and also received the highest thesis defense scores.

A large number of people in the industry, whether familiar or not, sent their congratulations to the two on Weibo.

However, only Guo Fan and Zhao Yanzi sent their blessings, while no one paid any attention to the other unknown graduates.

When Wei Jin saw the news on the crew, he couldn't help but sigh that the entertainment industry is really very realistic.

To be honest, this time is a little late compared to normal years, but Wei Jinting Wen Mu also said that it was because the filming of Zhao Yanzi's graduation work "So Young" was not smooth, which delayed the time and even failed to complete it. What was submitted was only a rough cut version.

However, Wei Jin had to admit that the Beijing Film Academy's directing department really valued Zhao Yanzi. Not only did they wait for her, but also such a youth-themed movie could actually get the highest score.

But on second thought, it is understandable. Among this year's directing department graduates, Zhao Yanzi is the only famous one. So she should be promoted a lot, right?
However, Beijing Film Academy's plan did not work out. Netizens and even people in the industry did not pay too much attention to this. Everyone was just watching the fun.

Many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who had previously withdrawn from Weibo due to the "Zhen Zhao dispute" seemed to have made an appointment and took advantage of the "World Environment Day" charity event a few days ago to come out again.

They were promoting public welfare enthusiastically, without mentioning the previously shouted slogan of "permanently quitting Weibo" at all, as if nothing had happened.

Feng Dapao also excitedly posted on Weibo, welcoming Shu Qi's return, and then a large number of celebrity artists under Huayi also expressed their welcome.

Unfortunately, the Internet has memory after all, and netizens started to mock it.

"What about the permanent withdrawal you promised? It's not even been three months yet?"

"Compared to Teacher Chen, the stars of this year are too spineless"

"Hehe, to put it bluntly, aren't these people just reluctant to part with their fans on Weibo? As long as they can make money, what does face matter?"

"How long will Director Feng's Hushubao last? Xu Fan doesn't care about it?"

"Hehe, Xu Fan has already said that Director Feng from their family will not suffer any loss. People are sober now."

These returning celebrity artists don't mind the ridicule at all. After all, making money is not shameful. Only Feng Dapao, who is being ridiculed and wants to be a flower-guarding messenger, can't help but start to criticize again.

"A bunch of idiots who have nothing to do after eating."

For a moment, netizens became excited again and started to passionately confront Feng Dapao. It was really lively.

It is mid-June and the film market is still shrouded in smoke.

"Avengers" reaped the benefits of the last weekend and completed a month of release, with the final box office revenue reported at 5.5 million.

At this moment, the industry is extremely fortunate that the domestic film market can only release movies for one month (give or take no more than a few days). If it is released for a long time like in Europe and the United States, based on the momentum of the tens of millions box office in a single day before "Avengers" was taken off the screen, who knows how much more meat they would have to bite off.

"Men in Black 3" was also very strong, earning 8800 million again in the new week, and the total box office has exceeded the 4 million mark. However, the box office potential seems to have been exhausted, barely maintaining above million per day.

Among all the Chinese-language films, only "Saving Mr. Wu" performed quite well.

The film continued to rake in 1.38 million yuan in the second week, and its cumulative box office revenue is approaching the 3 million yuan mark.

According to this situation, a professional forecasting agency has made a judgment that even with the pressure from "Pacific Rim", the final box office of this movie is likely to exceed 4 million.

Several newly released Chinese-language films, such as "The First Time" starring Yang Ying and Mark Chao, "Twins of Taiwan" starring Dragon Prince and Xia Yu, and "Millions" starring Wang Lihong's clone Pubajia and Beijing Film Academy Vice President Wang Jinsong, have hardly made any splash.

On the contrary, the animated film "Madagascar 3", which was released in a low-key manner without much publicity, performed quite well, raking in 5800 million in box office in the first three days of the weekend.

This makes many people in the industry sigh that apart from women's money, children are the only ones who are easy to fool.

Magic City, the crew of "Big Shot".

After several days of intensive shooting, the film has reached the final scenes.

But Wei Jin didn't expect that at this time, another crew would visit the set.

Hong Kong director Wang Jing brought all the members of "Great Shanghai" to the scene to show his support.

I have to say that Wang Jing is a very influential person in the mainland. Fatty Bernard Yu gave him the production cost of 1.5 million yuan without any hesitation.

This drama brings together big names such as Chow Yun-fat, Huang Xiaoming, Hong Jinbao, and Wu Zhenyu, and the cast is truly luxurious.

Among them, Chow Yun-fat and Huang Xiaoming played the role of Xu Wenqiang in both the Hong Kong version and the mainland version of "The Bund", so the film crew directly shouted the slogan "Two generations of Xu Wenqiang gathered in "Great Shanghai", which was full of gimmicks.

This time in "Great Shanghai", the two will play the same role of different ages, which directly increases the topic.

It is worth mentioning that Fatty Wang is really a good person. He directly set the start time of the film on May 5.18th, which is Zhou Runfa’s birthday. He is really thoughtful.

When people come to visit and show their support, one has to give them some face. While the crew was setting up, Wei Jin started chatting with the crew from "Great Shanghai".

After chatting with Fatty Wang for a while, Wei Jin realized that even before they had finished filming their drama, Bernard had already set its sights on this year's Lunar New Year holiday.

In the words of Bernardo and Fatty, Bernardo has never missed the Lunar New Year holiday season, and this year will be no exception.

In this regard, Wei Jin can only say that he is stubborn.

Afterwards, Wei Jin chatted with a group of actors. Both Chow Run-fat and Hong Jinbao were considered seniors in the industry.

However, after a conversation, Wei Jin had a better impression of Hong Jinbao. He was worthy of being a martial artist with a straightforward personality. He had been engaged in the film and television industry for more than 40 years and had a good reputation in the circle.

In comparison, it is not easy to evaluate Zhou Runfa.

Although he always behaves politely, he always gives people the feeling that he is a bit pretentious. I heard from Yang Mi that when he was filming "Tongquetai", he was indeed very arrogant and even director Zhao Linshan couldn't control him.

As for Wu Zhenyu, Wei Jin admires him quite a lot. Although he is a Hong Kong actor, there is no problem with his acting skills or attitude. It's just that it is rumored that he has a bad temper.

But this was not a problem for Wei Jin. No matter which mountain they were on, no one dared to stand in front of him.

In addition, the most eye-catching one is the new "Crystal Girl".

Wei Jin had to admit that Fatty Wang had a good aesthetic sense. The Crystal Girls of previous generations, such as Qiu Shuzhen, Zhu Ying, and Weng Hong, were all extremely beautiful and amazed an era.

In comparison, the new Crystal Girl Tong Fei, although not as outstanding, has a great figure, which is really a pity.

The crew of "Great Shanghai" didn't stay long, and left after watching two scenes. They also had a filming task today, but it just happened that the two crews were not far away, and they heard that Wei Jin was about to finish filming, so they came to say hello.

After seeing off Fatty Wang and his group, the crew was almost done with the arrangements for the next scene.

Wei Jin went straight to the monitor and began his final scene.

This scene takes place after Hu Jun applied for an order to close the net and arrest people, in order to cooperate with the anti-corruption campaign from above, to eliminate the protection umbrella of the Zhao Group and arrest Zhao Tai at the same time.

Zhao Tai wanted to escape from the crime, but after a crazy car race, he was blocked by Hu Jun on the street and the two fought. Wei and Jin made some adjustments to this last part of the plot.

I don’t know if the original director wanted to reflect the difficulties faced by the police in enforcing the law at that time. In the original plot, the reactions of the onlookers were very unreasonable.

Sun Wukong and Zhao Tai were fighting one-on-one, and the onlookers were just watching the fun. They were taking pictures with their mobile phones the whole time, giving people a sense of irony like keyboard warriors.

Even when Sun Wukong fought back, he actually shouted nonsense like "violent law enforcement" and "police shouldn't beat people".

You have to know that this happened in broad daylight. Zhao Tai endangered public safety by dangerous means, not only violently resisted arrest, but also beat Sun Wukong into a pig's head.

In this case, Sun Wukong's fight back is called violent law enforcement? Are these people seriously ill?

In the Wei and Jin version, the idiot who clamored for "violent law enforcement" was deleted, and a strong man was added who wanted to go on the scene to help but was stopped by his girlfriend. Three or five other people also helped to call the police.

This way, it neither appears cold nor too outrageous, and is closer to reality.

In the surveillance footage, Huang Xuan had an indifferent expression as he looked at the silver bracelet on his wrist. He stomped hard on Hu Jun with a disdainful smile on his face, and his expression was extremely evil.

"Sun Dasheng, do you think you can catch me like this?"

"Believe it or not, I will be out in 2 hours at most?"

"Zhao Tai!"

Before Huang Xuan could finish, the camera turned, and accompanied by a crisp and angry shout, Zhang Li's long legs kicked mercilessly, and the former fell to the ground, lying side by side with Hu Jun.

Immediately afterwards, sirens sounded outside and the camera turned to Wang Yanhui and a group of criminal police officers.

"Crack!"

Wei Jin repeatedly watched the shooting effects displayed on the monitor, and finally nodded with satisfaction. He reached out and picked up the loudspeaker at his feet, and shouted loudly in the expectant eyes of the audience.

"I declare that the filming of Big Shot has officially concluded!"

"Great!"

Amid the cheers of the audience, Wei Jin came in front of Huang Xuan and Hu Jun.

This action scene was shot repeatedly several times. Even though there was an action director, there were inevitably some bumps and bruises during the filming process. Both of them suffered a lot. Now Huang Xuan and Hu Jun were both covered in dust and dirt.

"Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Hu Jun wiped the red medicine on his face with a towel and said, "It's okay, Director Wei, it's just a minor injury."

Huang Xuan on the side also nodded, indicating that he was fine.

"Alright, I'll have the crew get you some medicine later. You still need to take care of the scrapes and bruises."

Actors nowadays are relatively dedicated to their work, unlike the young actors of later generations, who have to lie on an ambulance stretcher for a simple scratch, and some of their wounds may have healed before they even reach the hospital.

After sighing, Wei Jin turned and looked at the crew.

"Everyone, hurry up and pack up. We won't leave until we're drunk at tonight's wrap-up party!"

"Director Wei is awesome!"

The entire crew was filled with a sea of ​​joy.

The drama "Big Shot" has attracted much attention since it started filming. The media reports have already come out before the crew's wrap party has ended.

"The crime action film "Big Shot" was completed today after 40 days of shooting!"

"The shooting of Oscar-winning director Wei Jin's new film has been successfully completed."

"The Great Shanghai visits the set of Big Shot. Who is faster, the fastest shooter in the mainland or the fastest shooter in Hong Kong?"

On the crew side, the atmosphere at the wrap party was good.

As the leading male, Hu Jun accepts all offers. If you ignore the bruises on his face, he does look a bit like the heroic hero Qiao Feng.

"Director Wei, it was such a pleasure filming with you. If you need a role in the future, just let me know. I'm always available."

To be honest, a first-line actor like him can't always be available, but if it's a Wei Jin movie, Hu Jun is really willing to give it top priority.

This is not entirely because Wei Jin’s movies are box office hits, but more importantly, it’s really a pleasure to work with him.

Because every actor actually wants to make a good play, especially after having a good script.

However, the quality of many directors is actually problematic. They constantly ask actors to perform on the set and then deny themselves, which makes the actors feel at a loss and very depressed. It is difficult for them to maintain a high emotional level.

Hu Jun has encountered quite a few such things in his thirty years of artistic career.

It is extremely rare to find someone like Wei Jin who can describe the required shots so clearly and make precise requirements for the actors' performances.

"Brother Jun, then I will take it seriously, haha."

Regardless of whether it was a polite remark or not, Hu Jun's statement made Wei Jin very happy.

After Huang Xuan drank two cups, he also came to Wei Jin with a glass of wine.

"Director Wei, this is a toast to you. Thank you for your trust."

Huang Xuan said this very humbly. Although he made his debut in 07, he has appeared in many TV series in recent years with his good looks, but unfortunately he has never been very popular.

Although compared to actresses who rely on their youth to make a living, the shelf life of male actors is much longer, but who can refuse the opportunity to become famous?

If he was really devoted to art, why would Huang Xuan recognize Jiang Wenli as his "godsister"?
If there is a chance to be appreciated by Wei and Jin, wouldn't it be better than any other way?

"If there is a chance, definitely."

Wei Jin responded with a smile. Regardless of whether there is a possibility of cooperation or not, it is still necessary to say some polite words at the dinner table.

Afterwards, other members of the crew also came up to express their gratitude and hope for future cooperation, and Wei Jin responded one by one.

After the excitement died down, Yang Mi, Huang Mengying and Zhang Li came to Wei Jin's room at the same time.

The three of them knew that this was the last time they could spend together, and after returning to Beijing, they would not be able to line up.

So that night, the three of them tried their best, and Zhang Li even gave her daisies without reservation, just to make the big boss happy.

Wei Jin was indeed quite enjoyable. He experienced nine different paths and nine different kinds of tenderness one by one.
