During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 470: Sword Takes an Unconventional Path and Falls into a Well, the Return of the Stone Immortal
At the cocktail party, people were toasting each other.

Wei Jin has always been the center of attention at such occasions, and many celebrity artists come over with wine glasses in hand to say hello.

At this moment, Wei Jin started chatting with Huang Xiaoming.

I have to say that Director Hong Kong is really efficient.

It took only three months from the initiation of the project to the start of filming and then to the completion of Chen Kexin's "Partners", which is almost as long as Wei Jin.

After chatting for a few sentences, Huang Xiaoming left with his glass of wine. As a new investor, there were too many big guys at the scene who needed him to maintain relationships.

But soon, someone else came over.

"Boss Wei, I wish you a big box office success."

Looking at Zhong Lifang, who was in high spirits and high spirits, Wei Jin smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhong, for your kind words. Also, congratulations to Xiao Ma for getting what he wanted."

"Haha, thank you, President Wei. If there is a chance in the future, our two companies should cooperate more."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

A few days ago, the acquisition case of Xiaoma Nazhuang, which lasted for more than two years, was finally settled.

Pony.com and India's Reliance Media jointly acquired the core assets of Digital Domain for US$3020 million. The two parties own 70% and 30% of the shares of Digital Domain respectively.

The media coverage at the time was extremely flattering, and a large number of people in the industry also seemed to be proud of it.

Zhong Lifang even admitted in person in front of the media that Pony.com has already acquired all the core businesses in the digital field, as if it had found a perfect bargain.

Other domestic companies may not know, but Wei Jin knows it very well.

After incubating Shanhe Ink, Digital Field faced a large-scale talent loss, and after Summit Entertainment sold its shares, it was on the verge of bankruptcy.

A special effects company that has lost a large amount of technology, talent, equipment, and even business is now just a brand.

To be honest, Xiao Ma has been in contact with the digital field for a year or two, so he may not be unaware of these facts.

But they still chose to acquire it. Wei Jin estimated that more considerations might be for the final listing. After all, there was only more than a year left before the deadline of the bet.

Although Xiao Ma has been traveling around over the years and has signed contracts with many well-known directors, screenwriters and studios.

But up to now, there have been no outstanding achievements. If the company does not take a different approach, it will be difficult to achieve the goal of going public.

But this makes the gambling nature even greater.

But for Wei Jin, this is a good thing, as they are getting closer and closer to defeating Zhong Lifang.

After the two-hour cocktail party, Wei Jin took Jing Tian back to Dongshan Villa, and media reports on the movie premiere also came out.

"The premiere of "Girl at the Bottom" was held in the auditorium, with many guests and a star-studded scene!"

"Another sky-high copyright price revealed, 3856 million US dollars! "The Girl at the Bottom" breaks the record for domestic film copyright transactions!"

“The Girl at the Bottom: You and I will shine brightly in these rotten days!”

"Can't hold on any longer? Come and see her!"

"."

One after another colorful reports, without the guidance of Shanhe Media, directly brought the premiere news to the hot search.

On Impression.com, many fans who attended the premiere also began to give their own ratings and comments.

Thanks to the fact that today's audiences have not been poisoned by chicken soup for the soul, most of the reviews are positive.

"Although the story is simple, it is very touching. I cried so hard that my makeup was ruined."

"I was moved to tears the moment Dream It Possible started playing. This music deserves at least 30% extra points. Wei Jin is awesome!"

"I was so moved that I cried. I felt regret for myself, 'Why didn't you give your all?'"

"I am very pleased with the five years of experience. Tiantian's growth is obvious and the future is promising. Come on!"

Dongshan Villa, with rippling water in the large bathtub.

Jing Tian leaned in Wei Jin's arms, twisted her body, turned her head and looked at the man with her big, Caroline eyes, her voice sweet:
"Brother, what did Sister Wenli and her little niece talk to you about just now?"

"Oh, about the Golden Horse Awards. Also, thank you for giving Ma Sichun a chance."

Speaking of this, Wei Jin felt a little emotional.

The entertainment industry is indeed a big melting pot. After just two years of not seeing each other, Ma Sichun has lost the simplicity and innocence that she had when we first met, and has become much more sophisticated.

Perhaps this change is a good thing in Jiang Wenli's view, but Wei Jin feels inexplicably disturbed. Fortunately, he has the ability to protect the beauty around him.

"I see. I thought she wanted to match you up with that girl."

There was a hint of strange meaning in Jing Tian's voice. She even felt that the look Jiang Wenli gave Wei Jin was not so innocent.

After all, as a member of the Northwest circle, Jing Tian knew about the romantic affairs of the "big sister" who was still charming in her middle age.

"Hey, what are you thinking about in your little head?"

Wei Jin reached out and touched Jing Tian's forehead, feeling a little amused and helpless. He didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, so he reached out and pulled the girl tighter in his arms, with one hand climbing up her milky white and perky breasts.

"By the way, Tiantian, the rest of the roadshow will depend on you."

Jing Tian nodded, with a firm face: "Well, brother, I know, I will not slack off during the National Day."

Wei Jin stretched out his hand and hooked the girl's smooth chin, and said softly: "Tonight, let your brother cheer you up again. After all, roadshows are very tiring."

"Um~~~"

This year's National Day holiday saw the release of one movie after another.

Following "Tai Chi 1", Zhang Ziyi's "Dangerous Liaisons" was also released.

However, there was not much attention in the circle, and most people in the industry focused on the first-day performance of Huayi's "Tai Chi 1".

But sometimes the higher the tone, the more painful it will be when you get slapped in the face.

The 1 million box office revenue of "Tai Chi 970" on the first day directly shocked the production companies in the industry.

They vowed to win the National Day box office championship, but the result is like this? It can't even compare to art films like "White Deer Plain".

The key is that the online reputation is not very good. It was only the first day of its release and the Impression Network score was only 6.3 points. Douban was a little more decent, but it only had 6.8 points.

"The plot is thin, the rhythm is slow, it's stagnant, there is no climax, no novelty, and all the elements of a bad movie are basically gathered together." "Is Eddie Peng's accent serious? If not, just dub it, it's too distracting."

"Fuck, you are awesome, you can actually get into the show. The male and female protagonists have no acting skills, the fighting scenes are mediocre, and they all rely on the supporting actors to support them, and you can actually get into the show"

"Yang Ying really doesn't disappoint. Her acting is as good as ever. Her big eyes and formulaic expressions are stiff, just like Xiao Fengxian."

"It's a mixture of various elements, too crude, and too gaudy, which ruins the reputation of Wudang."

At this moment, Zhang Ziyi was very happy. It was not because she had any grudge against Huayi, but the competition in the film market depended on the contrast with peers.

Given that "Tai Chi 1" performed so poorly, it's possible that the later released "Dangerous Liaisons" could have taken advantage of it.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Zhang Ziyi underestimated her own appeal. Even though "Dangerous Liaisons" had an average screening rate of 20%, the box office on the first day was not very good, and the media coverage was even more heartbreaking.

"The love movie "Dangerous Liaisons", starring Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Baizhi, with an investment of 789 million yuan, was a disappointment at the box office on the first day, with only million yuan, and there is no hope of making a profit."

It would be fine if it was just the box office that was not good, after all, there are restrictions on the subject matter, and the online reputation is also quite good, with an Impression.com score of 7.5.

But the bad thing was that Zhang Ziyi had been too high-profile before, and had repeatedly called for a salary of 2000 million to join the film in order to show off her status, but now she has suffered a backlash.

Suddenly, a lot of voices appeared on the Internet, with words like "Zhang Guoyi's sky-high pay is not worthy of her reputation" and "a money-loser that can't carry the box office" and so on.

The slander of female stars can be said to be everywhere. Zhang Ziyi has been very self-righteous and arrogant over the years since her debut, which has offended many people. She even looks down on Gong Li and Maggie Cheung.

Now that they have the chance, why aren't the competitors taking advantage of the situation?
Led by Fan Bingbing, other female stars who had grudges against her, such as Li Bingbing, Zhao Yanzi, Tang Wei, etc., followed suit and made sarcastic remarks on Weibo.

Fans of many big stars also made jokes online, questioning whether Zhang Ziyi's sky-high pay was dragging down the crew.

Zhang Ziyi, who is under concentrated fire, will naturally not sit still and wait for death. You know, commercial value is always what female stars value most.

Especially for someone like Zhang Ziyi who values ​​her own status very much, the term "money-losing" is a critical blow to her.

Because this would most likely affect her future acting contracts, value and status, Zhang Ziyi immediately organized a counterattack.

"As a celebrity, you should set a good example for your fans and not do small things behind their backs. It makes you look uncultured. As the saying goes, an artist should first be artistically virtuous."

This time, before the big stars even opened their mouths, netizens began to help mock them.

"Quality is something that we don't talk about when we're abroad, at parties, or on the beach. But to talk about it now, isn't that a bit too hypocritical?"

At one time, fans of several big stars came out to support.

Although Zhang Ziyi is well-known, she doesn't have many loyal fans. Faced with the concentrated fire of many people, she was defeated step by step.

At this time, the notice that "1942" would be selected for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film was announced, and the attention of the Internet and the industry was instantly focused.

Since the 1990s, most of the domestic Oscar nominations have been monopolized by Zhang Yimou and Chen Shishi, who have been taking turns to win the award, with the only exception being Wei Jin.

At this moment, Feng Dapao's long-cherished wish had come true. He was so happy that he immediately posted a Weibo:
"I am grateful for the trust of the leadership. '1942' is a true history and the most attentive film I have made in recent years. I believe that the film's profound and touching story will surely impress the judges."

For a time, a large number of celebrities and artists began to post congratulations on Weibo, which suppressed the matter of Zhang Ziyi.

Wei Jin just regarded the excitement on the Internet as amusement. He was currently paying attention to the attendance of "Girl at the Bottom".

Thanks to the long-established brand and good relationship with theater chains, the screening schedule for "Girl at the Bottom" is very impressive.

Needless to say, Shanhe Cinemas has a screening rate of up to 40%, while Wanda Cinemas is also over 35%, while cinema chains such as Shanghai New Film Association and China Film Star Cinema are almost all over 30%.

As a result, this low-budget inspirational film had an average screening rate of 34%, ranking first in the National Day period.

With such a high screening schedule, it would be a bit ugly if the attendance rate was not good.

Fortunately, the feedback from theaters is pretty good, with the daytime attendance rate almost maintained at over 50%.

"It depends on the situation. The attendance rate for the prime time show in the evening should not be less than 80%. It's a pretty good start."

After muttering to himself for a while, Wei Jin checked the time, left the office, and told the driver to go to the airport.

Speaking of which, it has been more than a month since I last saw Liu Yifei, and Wei Jin still misses her a lot.

With anticipation, Wei Jin went all the way to the airport and found that the flight had just landed.

However, with the VIP channel, he did not have to wait too long in the parking lot. After a while, he saw Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, who were in disguise, and an assistant pushing a suitcase, walking over.

"Wow, Boss Wei came to pick me up at the airport in person today. I am so honored!"

Shu Chang took off his sunglasses and came over, teasing in an exaggerated manner.

"Hehe, you are just an extra."

After making a joke, Wei Jin walked towards Liu Yifei.

The little girl was wearing a white wide-shoulder T-shirt, paired with a pair of blue tight jeans, and with a little makeup on, she looked like an ethereal fairy.

Reaching out his hands and holding the little girl's pretty face, Wei Jin said softly: "Yifei, you have lost weight."

Feeling the warmth of the man's palm, Liu Yifei blushed and rubbed her delicate white cheeks, saying sweetly, "No, brother."

"Hey, this is a public place, you two should be careful."

"You are the one who talks too much. Let's go. I have prepared a private dinner tonight to shut you up."

"Ha, if you eat Boss Wei, then I have to eat more."

"Uh uh uh, sing, could you not be so funny?"

After the dinner, Wei Jin took Liu Yifei straight to the Xishan Villa.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, the little girl showed great enthusiasm and kissed me as soon as we arrived.

Feeling the girl's affection, Wei Jin stretched out one arm and wrapped it around her waist.

The two kissed all the way from the entrance to the bedroom. Liu Yifei was no longer satisfied with the wet kiss and wanted more.

"Brother, want me~~~"

The little girl's cheeks were flushed and her seductive red lips were slightly parted. Who could resist such charm?
Wei Jin said nothing, but expressed it with actions, kissing her red lips deeply once again.

While tasting the girl's soft and elastic lips, Wei Jin's hands were not idle either, and he made full use of his advantage of being able to understand people's clothes.

Although the jeans were a little difficult to untie, with the cooperation of the girl, they both felt refreshed in just two or three minutes.

Looking at the seductive blush on the girl's delicate face and the desire in her eyes, Wei Jin no longer hesitated. With a move of his hands, he pressed the girl under him.

"Oh~"

Accompanied by a long and satisfying song, two figures gradually overlapped beside the bed.
