During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 441 God's Hand, Sister Got It
Just two days into July, relevant statistical agencies announced the situation of the film market in the first half of the year.

Imported films account for over 60% of the market share. Except for a few works in which Shanhe Media participated, there is not even a single domestic film with a box office of over million yuan, which is a terrible situation.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Shanhe Media taking the lead, this figure might have risen by several percent. This has also made a number of companies in the industry increasingly aware of the difficulty of the situation.

Everyone in the industry is looking forward to "The Four" to compete, at least to prove that in addition to Shanhe Media, other film and television companies can also compete.

But before "The Four" was released, "Pacific Rim" was all over the screen again.

"The Sino-US co-production Pacific Rim has been released for 18 days and the box office has exceeded 10.2 billion, dominating the summer season!"

"Pacific Rim's momentum remains strong, with single-day box office still maintaining above 3500 million, and may have a chance to reach 15 billion."

"Fan Bingbing and Zhang Yi's net worth has skyrocketed."

Looking at the overwhelming media coverage, production companies in the industry felt a little uncomfortable.

The 10 billion mark was broken so easily, and 46% of the box office share was won. Maybe even the highest share of 15% of 47.5 billion can be achieved?

Unfortunately, such a crazy box office has nothing to do with them
"Director Han, have you got the extension key?"

Ye Ning couldn't remember how many times he had asked this question.

Generally speaking, the box office collection period of a movie is the first half of the month. As a 3D movie, "Pacific Rim" may be a little longer, but the decline in daily box office is inevitable anyway.

Judging from the current decline in daily box office, "Pacific Rim" may have a chance to break the domestic box office record, but it is quite difficult to achieve 15 billion.

"The bureau is still considering it. After all, the summer season is also a popular period, and many domestic films will be released later."

Han Sanping was also somewhat helpless, and he was also very concerned about whether the film could be postponed.

Even if the postponement is only ten days, the movie box office can at least earn an extra 100 million or 200 million.

Not to mention whether the 15 billion target can be achieved, the profits from the extra box office alone can reach tens or even hundreds of millions. According to the investment ratio, China Film can also get or million.

But when he thought about how he had gone to Director Tong’s office several times since the film started to be released, and how the subsequent leaders didn’t even answer the phone calls, Old Han felt unsure and could only offer words of comfort.

"Wait a little longer, there's still enough time"

"Well, that's all we can do."

Wei Jin didn't pay much attention to the box office of the movie. He was just listening to Lu Yang chatting about fun things.

The scale of the premiere of "Da Wudang" is definitely not as large as that of "The Four", but Wei Jin did not expect that the media would do such a weird thing.

It was obviously the premiere of "Da Wu Dang", but the questions asked were either "A Man's Martial Arts" or "Beijing Meets Seattle", which really took away the main focus.

This made Zhang Xu and Lu Yang, who were present at the event, feel a little embarrassed, but fortunately Yang Mi and Zhao Wenzhuo were very polite and did not give the reporters too much room to play.

"By the way, you said there are a lot of artists going to our company?"

"Well, Wang Kai, Zhang Yi, Datou, Chen Xiao, Zhu Yilong and others, including Gao Ye, Yang Rong, Yang Xue and others, almost all those who have time to attend went to show their support."

After hearing the list, Wei Jin nodded. Although Yang Mi was a bit of a flatterer, she had a good emotional intelligence. In addition, the competition in the company was not fierce, so she had built up a lot of connections.

"So how do you feel after watching the movie?"

When Lu Yang heard this, a complicated look appeared on his face, and it seemed as if he finally turned off the switch to complain after a long while.

"Don't mention it, Senior Brother. The plot is cliché and the fighting scenes are weak. I can't believe that the action director is Yuan Kui. The fighting scenes of Yang Mi and Zhao Wenzhuo are like a shaman dance."

Wei Jin shook his head. As expected, Yang Mi was the "Queen of Bad Movies". The dramas he took on were so unbearable to watch.

After 3 months, "Dragon King of the Divine Capital" was finally completed.

Wei Jin originally planned to host a welcome party for the crew and experience Ni Ni's charm in the evening, but a phone call disrupted his plans.

After handing the matter over to Chen Zhiming, Wei Jin instructed Zhu Wei to drive all the way to the Yanjiao villa.

When he opened the door, Wei Jin saw Gao Yuanyuan sitting on the sofa with a document in her hand.

"Sister Yuanyuan, are you telling the truth?"

Looking at the man with an excited tone, Gao Yuanyuan smiled on her delicate face and nodded slightly.

“Well, the reports are all here.”

Wei Jin took the paper document and read it carefully. When he saw the conclusion, he couldn't help but stand up.

"That's great, Sister Yuanyuan, that's great."

Looking at the man's happy expression, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't suppress the upward angle of her mouth.

After calming down, Wei Jin sat next to Da Meiyuan and held the beauty in his arms.

"Sister Yuanyuan, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Although the man's tone was somewhat complaining, Gao Yuanyuan felt his deep love and immediately told him the whole story.

According to the normal cycle, her period should be at the end of June, but it was delayed by almost a week, so she had some suspicions and bought a pregnancy test stick through her assistant.

The result was just as she expected, two bars, she was pregnant.

After her joy, Gao Yuanyuan calmed down. Because she was preparing for pregnancy, she was very familiar with the relevant knowledge. She knew that there might be errors in the pregnancy test stick, so she contacted a private doctor immediately.

Only after getting the accurate report did he share his joy with Wei Jin.

After listening to Gao Yuanyuan's explanation, Wei Jin felt a little guilty.

"Sister Yuanyuan, I'm sorry that I haven't paid enough attention to you during this period. I..."

Wei Jin couldn't continue speaking. Gao Yuanyuan's index finger had already touched his lips, and her star-like eyes were filled with his own image.

"Xiao Jin, I don't blame you. I didn't expect it myself, and it just happened like that."

Listening to Da Meiyuan's considerate words, Wei Jin's heart was filled with warmth. He said nothing more but just held the beauty tighter in his arms, quietly enjoying this rare quietness.

After a long while, Wei Jin remembered the "godly move" that night and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Sister Yuanyuan, I didn't expect your 'secret recipe' to be so useful, haha."

"Puchi~~" Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing.

A beautiful woman's smile is more beautiful than mountains and rivers.

With the experience of Zeng Li's pregnancy, Wei Jin was no longer in a hurry this time. He arranged all the subsequent matters in an orderly manner in just one morning.

At noon, Wei Jin personally cooked and prepared a loving lunch for Da Meiyuan.

Thanks to his experience in taking care of Sister Li, the dishes made by Wei Jin are nutritious and taste good, and were personally praised by Da Meiyuan.

After instructing Da Meiyu to rest well at home, Wei Jin came to the company. He had to finish all the work on hand before Da Meiyu showed signs of pregnancy.

When he arrived at Shanhe Shuimo, he happened to meet Lu Yang. Seeing that he was yawning, Wei Jin knew that he had just taken a nap.

"Brother, why are you so late today?"

"Hey, kid, you still care about me? Can't you just take a break?"

Wei Jin cursed with a smile, then began to work with the editor on post-production.

"You are the boss, of course it's OK."

Lu Yang didn't care and went about his business. However, this guy couldn't sit still and soon started chatting with Wei Jin again.

"Brother, did you watch the news this morning?" "No, what's the big news?"

"It's not a big deal. Here, take a look."

Wei Jin took Lu Yang's phone and looked at the news. Wow, Huayi is addicted to it? Do artists have to make such a big fuss every time they get married?

The one getting married this time is the "Stabbing Cult" member, Jia Nailiang.

However, the publicity effect is really good. Wei Jin noticed that from the announcement of the news to now, Huayi’s stock has actually risen by several points.

"Brother, I'm afraid you made a lot of money this time?"

"Haha, not bad"

Wei Jin smiled without saying anything, the money for the milk powder was settled.

Wei Jin had intended to complete the post-production work without distraction, but unexpectedly, things always found their way to him.

Just now, Ning Hao’s film “The Unknown” has passed the review, and Han Sanping called again.

"Wei Jin, what's the budget this time?"

"Director Han, there are only 40 million. After deducting Ning Hao's share, there is not much left."

When Han Sanping heard this, he knew there was no hope, but he didn't hesitate. After all, he had already eaten meat with Wei Jin several times this year.

"Well, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

"Okay, I won't be polite if you need me."

Wei Jin was about to hang up the phone when Han Sanping's voice rang again.

"By the way, Chen Kexin has selected three actors, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, and Deng Chao. The specific roles have not been decided yet. If you have any ideas, can you tell me a name?"

"Let's add Qiao Zhenyu. He just finished filming and his schedule is still open."

"Okay, let's do this for now."

Just after hanging up the phone, Fiber Optic Lao Wang called again.

"Brother Wei, you hid it well enough this time."

"Brother Wang, you guys have taken over the entire Film Bureau, so I have to be very careful, haha."

In order to avoid harassment this time, Wei Jin specially arranged for unfamiliar faces to submit the information, and they really had nothing to do for half a month.

"But brother, forget it this time. I also rejected Mr. Han's offer."

"Okay, don't forget me when you have the chance in the future."

"That's not possible, haha."

After chatting for a while, Wei Jin hung up the phone, immediately notified Chen Zhiming to release the information about the movie, and turned the phone to silent mode.

"It's finally quiet."

After complaining for a while, Wei Jin continued to concentrate on editing.

On the 6th, "The Four" and "The Great Wudang" were released at the same time.

In terms of screening, with the support of Wei Jin, Shanhe Cinemas and Golden Harvest have both given more than 25% of the screenings.

The rest of the major cinema chains were also quite considerate, with an average rate of over 20%.

In comparison, the screening schedule for "Da Wudang" is much worse, averaging less than 15%.

There is no way. "Pacific Rim" is still gaining momentum. After 21 days of release, it has grossed 11.37 billion yuan at the box office, and the daily box office is still maintained at around million yuan. It is naturally impossible to cut the screening schedule.

Perhaps in order to increase attention, Fiber Optic directly announced the sequel.

"The Four 2 will be director Chen Jiashang's first 3D martial arts film and is expected to start filming in Hengdian in mid-July.

The cast remains the same, with new supporting roles added: Wang Zixuan, Zhou Haimei"

No one in the industry expected that Wang Changtian would take such a big step and actually make a 3D martial arts movie to match "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate". This means that the investment in the second part will be much higher than the first. Is he really that confident?

However, the publicity effect is still quite good. According to statistics from the theater, the attendance rate of the prime time show of "The Four" reached 75%.

In comparison, "Da Wudang" is much less attractive to the audience. After all, whether it is the production team, investment cost, or cast, the two cannot be compared.

Yang Mi, who had just finished a roadshow at the cinema, had an intuitive feeling about this and had a bad feeling about the box office situation.

"I'm afraid I'm really going to lose to Bai Bin this time?"

Many people in the industry are concerned about the first day of "The Four".

After all, this is the first domestic blockbuster released in the summer, which is related to the morale of domestic films in the second half of the year.

Of course, many of them also want to see if Pacific Rim can continue to hold up.

As for "Da Wudang", apart from the producers and actors, almost no one cares about it, and it really has a weak presence.

Shortly after midnight, the news on the portal website was updated.

"The Four grossed 1950 million on its first day, a great start!"

"The film was adapted to a large extent, and the audience's evaluation was mixed, with both praise and criticism."

"Star Culture artist Bai Bin plays the leading female role and makes her debut on the big screen."

"The Great Wudang barely made over 10 million on the first day, Yang Mi's box office appeal remains a mystery"

"Pacific Rim earned 3260 million a day, and its performance remains strong!"

Wei Jin sat alone in the study, watching the movie.

"The Four" scored 7.1 on Impression.com, which is average.

Looking at this score, Wei Jin knew that Fiber Optic was most likely trying to get good reviews, which is also a common practice for many movies nowadays. It just depends on how long it can last.

However, Fiber Optic still has a lot of face. At this moment, under the official Weibo, there are already a lot of congratulations and likes from artists in the circle, and many people are even promoting the movie on their own Weibo.

In comparison, the situation of "Da Wudang" is not very good, with a score of only 5.8, which is already difficult to improve.

Not only was there a lot of criticism online, but even the official Weibo account was about to be overwhelmed. I don't know if Yang Mi's faith in Taoism will be shattered.

"Xiao Jin, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Da Meiyu walked in in her pajamas, and Wei Jin stood up and hugged her slender waist.

"I couldn't sleep, why did you get up?"

"I can't sleep without you"

The big Meiyuan, who pouted and acted coquettishly, was full of the charm of a young woman, which made Wei Jin almost feel overwhelmed.

"Sister Yuanyuan, please stop using your magical powers! Someone is going to die!"

Da Meiyuan took a quick glance and saw Wei Jin's condition. Her pretty face blushed slightly. She also knew that the man had been having a hard time enduring these two days.

Biting her red lips lightly, Gao Yuanyuan whispered in Wei Jin's ear, "Little rascal, I'll help you, but you have to go to sleep well later."

That night, Da Meiyuan put on her uniform and black stockings, and used her hands, feet and mouth to finally let Wei Jin sleep peacefully.
