During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 466 A Broad-minded Actress
As we enter late September, the competition in the film market becomes increasingly fierce, and several Hollywood blockbusters are still reaping the rewards.

"The Hunger Games" has been released for two weeks and the box office has reached 1.3 million, but the daily box office is less than million.

Compared to its explosive performance in North America, "The Hunger Games" has hardly made any splash in China.

But for Wei Jin, it doesn't matter. He can enjoy 25% of the box office share by releasing the film as an imported film. He earns tens of millions without any risk or cost, and he also has money to buy diapers for his children. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?

The movie "Sad Fairy Tale" grossed over 1200 million after being released for more than a week, but the single-day box office dropped directly to below 10, and the theater chain forced it to be taken off the screen.

Perhaps from the perspective of theater chains, even if these screenings were given to other movies, the box office would be more than this.

Fiber optic king Chang Tian has not been in a very good mood these past two days. Although the movie did not make much loss, it still had an impact on the stock price. A drop of a few points has caused his net worth to shrink by tens of millions.

Coincidentally, the performance of the TV series "White Deer Plain" was not much better.

In a week, the box office barely climbed over the 6000 million mark, but the daily box office also dropped to around million.

Judging from the situation, whether it can complete the one-month release period depends on whether the next few movies can support it.

Yang Mi's "The Palace of the Bronze Bird" was also released.

Although "Tiny Times" has not started filming yet, Yang Mi has already gained a large number of fans thanks to this series contract, all of whom are readers of the original novel.

Coupled with the Golden Eagle Goddess she just won and the popularity accumulated over the years, Yang Mi's appeal is becoming even stronger.

So much so that under the pressure of a number of Hollywood blockbusters, "Taiwan independence" earned more than 14 million at the box office with 1400% of the screening volume on the first day, which is a good result.

In contrast, Chow Yun-fat, who has been in the industry for many years, did not provide any help to the film.

"The Palace of the Golden Phoenix" was released simultaneously in Hong Kong, but the box office on the first day was less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

This also made many production companies realize that times have changed and the appeal of the older generation of stars is indeed not as strong as that of young people.

At the same time, several movies that will be released at the end of the month are ready to go.

Huayi's "Tai Chi 1" held its premiere press conference a week in advance, and Wang Zhonglei was very high-profile in front of the media.

"We have two films in the Tai Chi series, with a total investment of 2.2 million yuan. Our goal is not just to make back our investment, but to have a total box office of more than 10 billion yuan."

Yang Ying was also ridiculous, shouting in front of the media:

"If the box office can reach 10 billion, I will post a bikini photo album on Weibo for half a month."

As soon as the news came out, it really caused a huge sensation and netizens were all making fun of it.

"For 10 billion, they'll give out bikinis. For 20 billion, will they have to show off their underwear?"

"You're overthinking it. With her acting skills as Xiao Fengxian, I'm afraid even Wei Jin wouldn't be able to carry her, right?"

"According to Yang Ying's logic, Huang Xiaoming holds tens of billions of dollars every day, hahahaha."

Looking at the fun online, Wei Jin couldn't help but sigh that the netizens were so talented, but he didn't know what Huang Xiaoming would think.

However, the news about "Tongquetai" reminded Wei Jin of something, and he took out his cell phone and called Zhang Xu.

"Well, Lao Zhang, Wanda has a project that will start filming in January. I plan to give the leading female role to Yang Mi, and there is also a second male lead who has a good role. Can you see who in the company has a suitable schedule?"

Although Yang Mi is an ambitious and somewhat disobedient woman, Wei Jin keeps his word and will not forget her if there is a suitable project.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xu's answer surprised him a little.

"You mean, Yang Mi doesn't have a schedule? What's going on? Isn't Tiny Times going to start filming next month? Three months isn't enough?"

Zhang Xu's tone was somewhat helpless: "Boss Wei, we said before that the filming would start in October, but then something went wrong."

Listening to Zhang Xu's explanation, Wei Jin was speechless. This movie was so shattering in terms of one's worldview and contained so much bullshit.

"Tiny Times" is a best-selling novel, and Guo Jingming had previously sold the rights to adapt it into a TV series, and the TV series producers are also preparing to start filming.

But unexpectedly, when the filming was about to start, Guo Jingming actually fell in love with the male lead chosen by others.

As expected, after Guo Jingming promised to play one of the male lead roles in the movie version, the actor decisively followed suit. After all, everyone in the entertainment industry knows that movies are always more prestigious than TV dramas.

"and then?"

"The two sides are arguing now, and the filming start time is still uncertain. According to Zeng Jia's report, it will probably be in November. In addition, Guo Jingming is afraid that there will not be enough funds, so he plans to shoot one or two films in a row. Therefore, it is estimated that Yang Mi may not be available before March next year."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is really eye-opening"

“Who says it’s not?”

Zhang Xu followed up with a complaint, saying that he had never seen anyone snatching an actor away from him. Then he seemed to remember something and added:

"But according to Zeng Jia, the male actors chosen for the movie version are all pretty boys, similar to Korean artists."

Hearing this, Wei Jin recalled the gossip he had read in his previous life and guessed that the actress should be safe on the set.

"Okay, since she doesn't have a schedule, after Wanda sends the script over, you can let someone who has a schedule give it a try."

"Okay, Mr. Wei."

The next day, Wei Jin brought the crew of "The Girl at the Bottom" to the Central Academy of Drama, which was the first stop of offline promotion.

Although in recent years Beijing Film Academy has seen the rise of great directors such as Wei Jin, Wu Ershan, Lu Yang, Cao Baoping, and Xue Xiaolu, its influence has been growing day by day.

However, as the oldest among the three major art schools in China, the Central Academy of Drama is still the first choice for many students.

However, due to the relatively fair admission standards and rigorous and effective teaching quality of the Central Academy of Drama, the number of acting students admitted each year is actually more than that of the Beijing Film Academy.

For example, the 12th grade Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama, where I had just enrolled, had two classes with about fifty people.

The Central Academy of Drama obviously cares a lot about the promotion of the crew of "Girl at the Bottom". This is the first time that Wei Jin has entered the Central Academy of Drama campus for promotion, so it was a big event and the meeting was held in the auditorium.

As soon as Wei Jin and his group arrived, they saw a group of promotional posters for "The Girl at the Bottom" placed on both sides of the door.

The background of one of the posters is the afterglow of the sunset, with a silhouette of a girl riding a bicycle in the sunset.

There are four big words "Girl at the Bottom" on it, and the subtitle is "The biggest lie in the world is that you can't do it."

The other is a solo headshot of Jing Tian:
On the pure white background, Jing Tian, ​​wearing a blue school uniform and with golden hair, rested her hands on her cheeks, with an innocent and ignorant expression on her face. A series of question marks appeared above her head, as if asking: "Why is the homework so difficult?"

Seeing this photo, Jing Tian's face felt slightly hot. It felt a bit awkward to see a solo photo of a Beijing Film Academy actor appearing in the auditorium that was only used for graduation ceremonies at the Central Academy of Drama.

Perhaps it was because of his reputation as a great director of Wei Jin, or perhaps it was because there were many actors from the Central Academy of Drama in the cast of "The Girl at the Bottom", but even on weekends, there were many people coming to participate in the event, even many graduated students came.

A meeting that went very smoothly.

After the event, Wei Jin and his group were invited to stay and have a meal. Over the years, with the increasing prosperity of the film and television industry, the Central Academy of Drama has also been seeking changes. The previous model of relying on quality to win the world has indeed caused a lot of losses to the students of this school when they just graduated.

At this moment, Wei Jin was pulled aside to introduce many students who had graduated or were still in school. He praised them a lot and said that these were all talented actors with outstanding acting skills.

This made several people who graduated from Beijing Film Academy feel a little embarrassed, especially Zhang Songwen.

After he became famous, he participated in many activities of Beijing Film Academy. When teachers of Beijing Film Academy introduced their students to the outside world, they often said that they had "good looks and potential to be famous", but rarely mentioned their acting skills. Perhaps they really lacked confidence?
Wei Jin also felt the same way, but he had to admit that the Central Academy of Drama did a solid job in terms of teaching quality.

While I was sighing, the teacher from the Central Academy of Drama brought over another student and introduced him:

"Director Wei, this is Lan Yingying, who just graduated this year. She was admitted to the People's Art Theater with the first place a few months ago."

"Hello, Director Wei. I'm the actress Lan Yingying."

Wei Jin looked at Lan Yingying, who had some heroic spirit in her eyes but a slightly harsh expression overall, and nodded.

"Hello, I remember you appeared in 'Painted Wall' and even danced at the premiere?"

Lan Yingying was pleasantly surprised, "Director Wei, do you still remember me?"

"Well, she dances well and acts OK."

There is an inexplicable emotion in the Wei and Jin tone.

Speaking of Lan Yingying, Wei Jin's biggest impression of her in his previous life was Huanbi in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

To be honest, this role is very outstanding, but Lan Yingying may be unlucky. Even with the blessing of Huanbi, her subsequent works did not seem to make any splash.

She became slightly popular because of her relationship with Cao Jun, but she became popular again after "Sisters Who Make Waves". At that time, it had been 10 years since "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Now, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was snatched away by Kan Qingzi, and Lan Yingying's star journey has become even more bumpy. She is still an unknown little transparent star.

Wei Jin wondered whether he should give her a chance later on. After all, her acting skills were pretty good.

"Director Wei, this is Chen Xiaoyun from Class 06."

Listening to the introduction of the teacher from the Central Academy of Drama, Wei Jin also turned his attention to the actress with curved eyebrows, petite figure, but broad mind.

Speaking of which, Chen Xiaoyun has quite a rich experience. She has been dancing since she was a child, but had to leave Beijing Dance Academy because of asthma.

She then joined the national swimming team, but because of her good figure, she caused a lot of controversy and gave up her membership in the national team.

Finally, I chose the acting major and was admitted to the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama with the first place in the major.

I have to say that this is a learning-oriented person.

During the whole meal, Wei Jin kept smiling and responded to the calls of "Hello, Director Wei" and "Hello, President Wei".

Most of the actors who came this time are not famous, but most of them are regular employees, either from the People's Art Theatre, the National Opera, or the Youth Drama Theatre. It can be seen that the National Academy of Drama is intending to show off its muscles.

"Director Wei, there are many excellent actors in the Central Academy of Drama. If there are any subsequent contracts or roles needed in movies or TV series, please give them a chance."

"Teacher Chang, you are too kind. I have always been very supportive of actors who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama. The company has signed many of them over the years. I will definitely work with them if there is a chance."

Jiang Shan and Xu Yajun rarely returned to school, and they also wanted to keep in touch with the teachers. Wei Jin took the others and left first.

After leaving the Central Academy of Drama, the group felt much more relaxed.

“In terms of professional ability, even though the Central Academy of Drama has been a little lax in recent years, it is still much better than the Beijing Film Academy.”

Zhang Songwen also felt the same way about Wei Jin's complaints, and he nodded in agreement:

"Mr. Wei is right. The school has indeed gone astray in recent years."

Although Bai Yu graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, it was difficult to talk to him at this moment. However, Jing Tian, ​​who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, smiled and joked:
"Brother, Teacher Zhang, when we go back to school to promote our work in a few days, you two can give some suggestions to the school leaders."

"Haha, if you want to give me some advice, you guys can do it. I'm too lazy to say anything anyway."

Wei Jin no longer has any hope for Beijing Film Academy. Even Wang Jinsong, the only one who wanted to make a change, has been benched. Who can stop this group of school leaders?
"Okay, let's stop here for today and continue tomorrow."

"Okay, Director Wei."

For this promotion, Wei Jin put Beijing Film Academy at the last stop, and the school was very satisfied. After all, being last meant it was given the most attention.

Next, I need to visit schools such as Beijing Dance Academy and Communication University of China.

However, since they are all in Beijing, there is no need to travel far and wide, and each school can be reached in half a day.

In the evening, Wei Jin and Jing Tian returned to Dongshan Villa and took a bath together to relieve their fatigue.

Looking at Fuguihua's skin as smooth as cream and flawless as white jade, Wei Jin's index finger moved and his hands began to become restless.

"Brother, why are you here again~~"

Jing Tian shyly slapped away the hand that was making trouble, but she felt extremely sweet in her heart.

They have made love many times in the past two days, and have even tried all kinds of things, but this man is still so obsessed with her.

"Hey, who told me that Tiantian is so charming?"

Wei Jin was not someone who gave up easily. He changed his hand, went around the girl from behind, and grabbed Daju again.

Seeing this, Jing Tian could only lean on his shoulder helplessly and let Wei Jin play with her.

"By the way, Tiantian, you are going to your alma mater tomorrow. What do you think?"

"I don't feel anything. I only stayed there for a little over a year. Now when I think about it, it was still pretty hard. Hmm~~~Brother~~"

While Jing Tian was talking, she realized that the man's hand was already roaming on her snow-white thighs, occasionally reaching into the forbidden area.

"Tiantian, it's good to learn dancing. Look at your legs, they are long, straight, tender and smooth."

Jing Tian was about to say something, but she felt a burning breath blowing towards her, and her red lips were sealed.

"Um~~~"

After a long wet kiss, a blush appeared on Jing Tian's delicate face, and the mist in her eyes seemed thicker than the mist in the bathroom.

Facing Wei Jin's burning gaze, Jing Tian rolled her eyes, lowered her swan neck, and kissed him with her red lips.

"Oh~~~"
