During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 475 Copyright confirmed The night before departure

In mid-October, the filming of "Time Traveler" started at the Huairou Film and Television Base in the suburbs of Beijing.

In view of the fact that Guo Fan had not yet achieved any outstanding results, Wei Jin made a special trip here.

Fiber Optic, the producer of the product, also sent its Executive Vice President Li Xiaoping to attend the event.

During the chat, Wei Jin became concerned about the filming of "The Mystery Detective".

According to Li Xiaoping, the drama is currently progressing quite well and is expected to be completed by early next month.

It can be seen that everyone in and out of Fiber Optic has high hopes for this drama. The shooting period has been approaching 4 months, which is indeed incomparable to "Sad Call".

Wei Jin was not worried about this. With Li Lian joining as a friendly partner and the total production cost of more than 30 million yuan, and the script being improved by the company, making a profit was absolutely a foregone conclusion.

The two chatted, and Guo Fan also took the main creators to be interviewed.

It can be seen that apart from director Guo Fan, the media's biggest concerns are Bai Yu and Song Yi.

Although Bai Yu has not been in the industry for long, his two Wei and Jin movies, plus a TV series in which he played the second male lead, are all considered hits, and his popularity is definitely among the best among second-tier actors.

As for Song Yi, reporters were more curious about how she got the role.

Of course, others such as Sun Yizhou, Deng Jiajia and others also got some opportunities to speak, after all, "Love Apartment 3" is really too popular this year.

After the usual procedures, Guo Fan sent away the media and started a script reading session with the actors. Wei Jin also stood by and looked at the main creators.

Reyiza did a lot of preparation and consulted Guo Fan a lot about the positioning of her role, although she did not have many scenes.

Although Deng Jia Jia is a self-taught actor, she has good talent and can grasp the essence of the character.

Sun Yizhou's potential for humor is indeed maximized, and every move he makes is funny.

What caught Wei Jin's attention the most was Song Yi. This was the first time he saw this woman known as the cheongsam killer in real life. She really had a good temperament.

After Guo Fan explained the key points of the script, he asked the actors to read it to each other, while he came out to communicate with Wei Jin.

"Boss Wei, according to the plan, the filming period is two months, and it will be finished by late December at the latest. In addition, I will adjust Bai Yu's role to leave time for him to participate in the Golden Horse Awards."

"Well, it's good to let him show his face. It will also help you get exposure, haha."

Wei Jin looked at the main creators of the crew in the distance and joked with a smile.

To be honest, Bai Yu has already participated in Venice, and he has not been nominated for the Golden Horse Awards, so the significance of the past is not that great. However, it is a grand event in China after all, and for him, it is also a means to consolidate his status and increase exposure.

Wei Jin had just returned to the company when the news about the start of filming of "Time Traveler" appeared on the Internet, and it was quite popular.

After Wei Jin flipped through it a few times, he received a call from Zhang Yimou. The first version of "Hidden in the Dust" was streamlined, and he was invited as the screenwriter to go and make some corrections.

With nothing else to do, Wei Jin came to Shanhe Shuimo. As soon as he arrived, he saw Lao Mouzi, who was more energetic than an ordinary person, and was directing the editor to adjust the subsequent plan.

"Director Zhang."

"Boss Wei, come and take a look."

Lao Mouzi started to watch the film without saying anything.

Wei Jin didn't say much. He started chatting with Zhang Yimou while watching the film.

I have to say that Zhang Yimou is really awesome. The handling of some shots and scenes is even better than in the original film.

However, Wei Jin's years of training were not in vain. He also put forward some suggestions on the story and the depth of the core, and Zhang Yimou humbly accepted them.

After some discussion, the two basically reached an agreement.

"The rest is just polishing. We'll deal with it after Director Zhang returns from India."

"Well, that's what I planned too."

As a prominent figure in the Chinese-language film industry, Zhang Yimou was invited last month to attend the opening ceremony of the Mumbai Film Festival, a prestigious film festival held in India.

The Indian Film Institute awarded Zhang Yimou the Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his contribution to leading Asian films to the world over the past 20 years.

In fact, Wei Jin, as the first person to speak Chinese, also received an invitation, but he declined it.

"By the way, Director Zhang, have you been there before?"

"Not really, but I do know a few Indian directors, and we can talk to them later."

Wei Jin had a mischievous look on his face: "Director Zhang, in this case, I suggest you ask your assistant to prepare some more gastrointestinal medicines."

"Huh? Why?"

"I'm afraid you can't eat Ah San's food, hahahaha"

"0.0"

Wei Jin didn't expect that Zhang Yimou would become a hot topic again before he even left the country.

Of course, he is not the protagonist this time, but he became a hot topic because of his work "Red Sorghum" which won him the Nobel Prize.

In 1988, Zhang Yimou's film "Red Sorghum" won the Berlin Golden Bear Award. 24 years later, the original work won the Nobel Prize, which became a hot topic.

At this moment, a large number of netizens are congratulating Mo Yan. After all, this is the Nobel Prize, and it is the first in China. Wouldn't it be a great celebration for three days and three nights?

However, the most excited one would have to be the entertainment industry, because Mo Yan is not only a writer, but also a well-known screenwriter.

A large number of filmmakers, directors, screenwriters and celebrity artists, either sincerely, following the trend, or just to take advantage of the popularity, all expressed their congratulations on Weibo.

The main creators of the movie "Red Sorghum" such as Zhang Yimou, Gong Li, and Jiang Wen will naturally not be left behind.

Shanhe Media also took the rare step of posting congratulations on its official Weibo account, not because they have a very good relationship with Mo Yan, but because the copyright to this masterpiece belongs to the company.

"Boss Wei, we've made a lot of money this time. In the half day since the news came back, the copyright price has increased by more than ten times, and it's still rising, hahahaha."

As a staunch supporter of copyright hoarding, Chen Zhiming was somewhat excited.

It wasn't because of how much money he made, but because it proved his vision. After all, Wei Jin hardly asked about these small matters, and he negotiated them all personally. "Boss Wei, should we develop this project next? It will definitely make a lot of money."

Wei Jin smiled and nodded, "Okay, let the scriptwriting department do the adaptation first, and you can also ask Teacher Mo to participate. There's no rush for time."

Honestly speaking, there are a huge number of works in the company's copyright library, and Wei Jin usually doesn't care which one will be developed first. But with such good popularity, he would feel sorry for the huge traffic if he didn't take advantage of it.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

After more than a month of preparation by a team of several hundred people, the preliminary work for "Killing Cycle" has been completed and filming is about to start.

All Chinese participants gathered in the China Film Conference Room for a mobilization meeting before the start of filming.

"Some of you here are participating in a co-production for the first time. In terms of foreign exchanges, you should learn more from the veterans. The veterans who participated in the filming of Pacific Rim should also play a leading role."

In the five years since he took charge of China Film, Han Sanping's power has become increasingly stronger. Sitting in the main seat, he is intimidating without even getting angry and has a strong aura.

"According to the filming plan, we will be filming in Hong Kong in two days. This part is directly assigned to us. I only have one request. Can you get it done in a week?"

As soon as Han Sanping finished speaking, the head of the film crew at the film studio immediately stood up and answered.

"Director Han, no problem."

This scene in Hong Kong was not in the original movie. On the one hand, it was to meet the requirements of a co-production, and on the other hand, it was to add a scene for the heroine Jing Tian.

This part of the content is a supplementary scene discussed by Wei Jin and Doug Liman. It mainly tells the story of the heroine before she joined the army. It is a flashback content and is completely sufficient within a week.

“After the filming in Hong Kong is finished, you will go directly to London for two months of location shooting, and then return to the Warner studio for a month of finishing work.

The time we spend in the studio is also the time when we can learn the most, and I hope everyone will seize the opportunity."

"Understood. Please rest assured, Mr. Han."

Dozens of people shouted in unison, and it really felt like the sound was deafening.

After the mobilization meeting ended and the engineers, actors, and crew left one after another, Wei Jin followed Han Sanping to the office.

Without Wei Jin saying anything, Han Sanping guessed why he came. He poured a cup of tea for him personally and handed him the schedule.

"Here, take a look for yourself."

After Wei Jin took it, he didn't say much and started flipping through it.

On this schedule, Wei Jin saw many familiar movies, including Zhang Ziyi's "Perfect Match 2", Huang Bo's "The Chef, the Actor, the Scoundrel", and Hong Kong director's follow-up work "Ip Man: The Final Fight".
At present, it seems that there are no strong competitors before the May Day period.

After some thought, Wei Jin picked up the pen from the pen holder on the table, wrote and drew on the schedule, and then handed it to Han Sanping. The latter took it and looked at it, then raised his eyebrows.

"You've scheduled all of these in the first half of the year. Isn't that too crowded? There's less than a week between Journey to the West and Seattle. Are you just playing by yourself?"

"Director Han, I have already planned the schedule for the second half of the year. It can only be arranged this way. In addition, Seattle and Journey to the West are not of the same subject matter. The Spring Festival schedule has great potential and not much competition. In other words, it is difficult to allocate resources to publicity and promotion."

To be honest, Wei Jin had considered other schedules, but the company produced too many movies and could not schedule them all, so they could only reduce friction as much as possible.

Han Sanping also nodded, agreeing with his statement.

"Okay, but when do you plan to release Big Shot? Summer or National Day? It can't be the Lunar New Year, that's too long."

The post-production of "Big Shot" had been completed long ago, and it took more than a month to do some special effects rendering and dubbing and music. Wei Jin arranged for it to be submitted for review before going to Venice.

With the help of tool teacher Ma and the support of Director Tong, Wei Jinren encountered no difficulties and passed the review when he was still in North America.

"I haven't made up my mind yet. I'll wait until Chen Xi comes back and we've settled the issue of the patch ads."

Wei Jin is now becoming more and more accustomed to being a hands-off boss and exploiting his employees.

"Okay, just know the answer yourself."

As soon as Wei Jin left China Film, news about "Reincarnation of Killing" was reported by the media.

"The film "The Killing Cycle" is about to start filming, and the Chinese production team will board a plane to Hong Kong tomorrow!"

"It is reported that the film was shot in London and Hong Kong, and the shooting period is about three months."

For a time, many young female stars in the circle began to feel heartbroken. It was a big production worth 1.7 million US dollars, and she was the leading actress partnering with Tom Cruise. Jing Tian was really lucky.

However, most people can only envy her, because for them, although Jing Tian does not have the title of "Four Dans and Two Bings", she has long been a recognized big star.

After "Zhu Xian", I haven't touched any TV series since then. All I've been doing are movies, and all of them are movies with excellent box office and reputation.

In terms of international fame, he can even be called the number one person in China.

A group of actresses born after 1985, apart from envy, don’t seem to have much jealousy because the gap is too big.

"Perhaps since the Oscars that year, since her debut song "Little Luck", her path has been paved for her, escorting her all the way and soaring to the top."

Yang Mi's face was a little complicated. When she was one of the four young actresses, she still wanted to catch up. However, she tried her best to catch up, but after three years, the gap between them became bigger and bigger.

"Mi Mi, people's pursuits are different. We already have our own studio. Next, we will upgrade the company step by step, sign artists, invest in projects, and become capital step by step. Then the actors will have to revolve around you."

Zeng Jia was extremely ambitious and took every opportunity to get involved.

"Sister Jia, I understand. I just feel a little emotional."

Yang Mi turned around and smiled. Ever since she decided to embark on the road of capital, her heart has been full of fighting spirit.

She, Yang Mi, not only wants to be a big actress, but also a producer, the owner of a film and television company, and a capital in the entertainment industry.
Wei Jin paid no attention to the sighs of the female stars in the circle and Yang Mi's ambitions. At this moment, he was making love with Jing Tian and Bai Rixuanying.

For this farewell ceremony, Jing Tian specially changed into Wei Jin's favorite black stockings and cheongsam.

Jing Tian was seen kneeling on the edge of the bed, with her thighs pressed on her calves, her hands supporting her body, and her waist curved into an amazing shape.

The beautiful buttocks wrapped in black stockings were also raised high, and the hem of the cheongsam, which was originally used to protect against wind and rain, had already been rolled up on the back of the man behind her.
