During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 481 The mother and daughter’s first variety show appearance?

Before the rise of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were three major directors in the country.

They are Zhang Yimou, Chen Shishi and Feng Dapao.

Among them, Zhang Yimou has long been hailed as a god, having won many European titles and even more gold medals after the 08 Olympics. Currently, the European Grand Slam and the Oscar are the only goals he pursues.

In comparison, poet Chen became a legend with his performance in Farewell My Concubine, and his debut can be said to have reached the peak of his career.

But after more than ten years, poet Chen has been living beyond his means and has no more works to show for it. In the past two years, he has fallen into the real estate business.

Although Feng Dapao has achieved good commercial results, he is criticized for not having enough awards and honors.

Therefore, over the years, even though Feng Dapao knew that there were many problems with the Golden Rooster and Golden Statue awards, he still couldn't help but flatter them.

As long as there are awards, Feng Dapao is not picky about the level of the film festival.

Previously, Feng Dapao was invited by Marco Muller, the artistic director of the Rome Film Festival and an old friend of Wei Jin, to have "Nineteen Forty-Two" shortlisted as a surprise film in the main competition unit, which made Feng Dapao very happy.

Not only were Huayi's press releases flying everywhere, but Feng Dapao's Weibo posts also never stopped, and people in the circle have become accustomed to it.

But today this Weibo post caused a huge response in the circle.

This famous advertising guru solemnly announced on Weibo for the first time: "No advertising placement in 1942."

As soon as the news came out, netizens were talking about it.

"Is this true? Didn't Earthquake have a lot of commercials?"

"If it's true, we can only say that Director Feng has withstood the pressure. Product placement is worth a lot of money."

"Maybe it's really as Director Feng said, this is the most heartfelt movie he's put into his life. I'll go support it when the time comes."

While browsing the comments on Weibo, Wei Jin turned his head to look at the girl next to him.

"By the way, Yifei, I'll take you to see the movie when it comes out."

"Movie theater?" the girl asked softly, holding Wei Jin's arm.

"Well, I probably won't be able to attend the premiere, but let's go to a private theater, otherwise we'll be discovered by your fans and make a fool of ourselves."

"Humph, I won't do that."

Liu Yifei pouted, then tilted her head, "Is this movie good?"

Hearing the girl's puzzled tone, Wei Jin knew that she had not read the original novel, so he hugged her and sat her on his legs.

"Well, think about it. Feng Dapao was able to have zero advertising placement. How much effort did he put in? This movie will also help you understand the script."

Liu Yifei’s experience is too simple, and she has no idea of ​​the sufferings of the world. “The Fault in Our Stars” is really too difficult for her.

"Well, I'll listen to you, brother."

Looking at the girl's well-behaved appearance, Wei Jin couldn't help but move his index finger. He lowered his head and bit her tender red lips, and his big hands began to move restlessly.

But before they could take any further action, Liu Xiaoli's voice came from downstairs.

After their lips parted, they looked at each other and smiled silently.

Today's dinner was still very sumptuous. Liu Xiaoli invited Wei Jin to eat more with a smile on her face, and her attitude was even better than before.

To be honest, Liu Xiaoli was a little angry when "The Cycle of Killing" fell on Jing Tian's shoulders.

However, her daughter was disloyal and went traveling directly, so she couldn't get angry.

But Wei Jin compensated her with a script for an award-winning literary film a few days later, and planned to act in it together, which was somewhat fair to her, and she couldn't find any fault with it.

However, this could only help her get over this hurdle. The key to her change of attitude was that Liu Xiaoli was a little frightened by Dong Jie's incident and became more aware of Wei Jin's power.

Liu Xiaoli knew very well that without a backer in the entertainment industry, she would be like a rootless duckweed, otherwise she would not have followed Chen Jinfei in the first place.

And now Wei Jin undoubtedly has thicker thighs than Lao Chen, so of course he has to hold on tightly.

Wei Jin could more or less guess what Liu Xiaoli was thinking. She just admired the strong, which was understandable. He even welcomed it. Otherwise, it would be bad if he kept trying to put pressure on her.

Just looking at his mother-in-law's pretty face which still retained its charm, Wei Jin suddenly remembered something.

"Auntie, I remember you like traveling, right?"

Liu Xiaoli paused with her chopsticks, a little confused, but nodded and said, "Well, Yifei has grown up now. I don't have to worry about her. I have time to look around. It's good."

Liu Yifei was deeply moved by these words. Although her mother had done a lot of weird things over the years, they were all out of concern for her, so she interjected.

"Brother, what do you mean by asking this?"

"Oh, that's right. I got inspiration from my aunt's travels. The company organized a travel variety show, which is quite interesting. I was thinking, since my aunt likes it, why not go and try it?"

The efficiency of the variety show department is quite good. The project "Where Are We Going, Dad?" has been successfully launched and recording has begun, and "Flowers and Youth" has also begun its early preparations.

Then Wei Jin began to explain the main points of the program under the curious gaze of the mother and daughter.

"It sounds interesting. Do you want to try it, Mom?"

Perhaps out of a compensatory mentality, Liu Yifei hoped that her mother could see more of the outside world and enjoy her own life, so she encouraged her.

Liu Xiaoli just shook her head and said, "Forget it. I haven't been on stage for many years. I must be very uncomfortable in front of the camera. Besides, I'm old now. There is a generation gap between me and those artists. I'd better not trouble you, Wei Jin."

Having said that, Liu Xiaoli turned and looked at her daughter.

"Xixi, you have nothing to do these days, right? You can go make some friends. It's not good to stay at home all the time."

Wei Jin nodded, agreeing with Liu Xiaoli's point of view, "Yes, Yifei, why don't you give it a try? Although it's not easy for a program to become a big hit, the reviews should be pretty good. It's good to relax. I'm probably going to be busy in the next few months, so I won't have much time to accompany you."

"Well, I'll think about it."

As the saying goes, when you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex. So after dinner, of course you need to do some exercise.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Wei Jin pressed the girl against the corner of the wall, bit her soft and tender red lips, and his big hands began to fly up and down.

The little girl was wearing a white high-waisted T-shirt and pink home shorts today, and she had no resistance at all in front of Wei Jin.

He just lifted his big hand, and the girl, who was not big but graceful, fair and tender, had nowhere to hide.

Sniffing the small clothes that were still emitting heat and body fragrance, Wei Jin felt a little overwhelmed, then lowered his head and moved closer.

"Well~~Brother~" Liu Yifei raised her head, closed her eyes, bent her body backward, pressed the back of Wei Jin's head with both hands, and looked intoxicated.

Wei Jin was busy with his mouth, but he didn't slow down his hands either, and successfully untied the girl.

After savoring the sweetness and tenderness, Wei Jin looked at the girl in front of him again, only to see that her face was flushed with red, and her pair of star-like eyes were filled with layers of mist.

So Wei Jin didn't hesitate any longer. After untying his restraints, he squatted slightly, put his arms around the girl's inner thighs, then stood up and held her in the air.

After adjusting the lens, Wei Jin started today's shooting, and he could hear Liu Yifei's happy singing.

"Oh~~Brother, it's reached the center of the flower~~~"

As Wei Jin strode forward, Liu Yifei began to press forward.
As time entered November, "Girl at the Bottom" was taken off the screen, and the final box office revenue was 11 million yuan.

To be honest, this box office is much higher than Wei Jin’s original psychological expectations.

The main reason is naturally Han Sanping's micro-management and his opponent's poor performance, which can be regarded as a bonus from the big schedule.

If there were any stronger competitors, it would still be unclear whether the box office could exceed 5 million.

If we calculate the production cost alone, the cost of this drama is less than 20 million yuan, and including publicity and promotion, it is probably around 50 million yuan.

The final box office share was as high as 2.6 million yuan. Taking into account overseas copyrights, in-film advertising and other income, the overall revenue was close to 5 million yuan, and the net profit rate was more than 10 times.

It can be said that there is no one in the entire industry who is not jealous.

Wei Jin received numerous calls from familiar partners, including China Film Group, Wanda Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Optical Fiber, and Yinghuang.
After congratulating, they either started talking about "Gravity" or looking forward to the next collaboration, to which Wei Jin naturally agreed.

A box office hit is a huge blessing for the actors.

After "The Piano Tuner", Zhang Songwen's status has been further improved, and he has completely consolidated his position as a second-tier male actor. However, due to his appearance, he is destined to only be a powerful actor.

The value of other characters with impressive roles, such as Xu Yajun, Jiang Shan, Bai Yu, and Li Xian, has also seen a surge in their value.

Even Zhou Yiwei, who doesn't appear in many films, has become a little famous in the film industry.

Of course, the one who received the greatest blessing is the leading female character Jing Tian.

If someone else had written the script, it might not have achieved such box office results, so the industry fully recognizes her appeal.

Especially when the movie "Dangerous Liaisons" was extremely poor, the value of this appeal was even greater.

Therefore, while Jing Tian was still abroad, Xingguang Canlan received several top contracts, and Lu Zheng couldn't stop smiling.

Jing Tian didn't care about endorsements or anything like that, but she was very happy about the box office results. She specially sent a photo to Wei Jin, showing a pair of beautiful legs in black stockings that were quite tempting.

Wei Jin was thinking about waiting until the Golden Horse Awards to taste the flavor of the rich flower.

At the same time, in the film market, Huayi's "Tai Chi 2" was also released.

Perhaps because the previous work had such a bad reputation, Huayi’s publicity in front of the media has become somewhat unscrupulous and misleading.

“The Tai Chi series is like the process of sowing seeds. The first part is hard work, and the second part is the harvest season.”

"Unlike the previous film, Tai Chi 2 is an IMAX 3D blockbuster with stunning visual effects. It is definitely not to be missed."

“Although it is a two-part series, even if the audience has not watched the first part, it will not affect watching the second part.”

"We can guarantee that the second part will be better than the first one because the lead actor is Feng Shaofeng"

Honestly speaking, the industry isn’t quite sure whether the audience is looking forward to it, but there is a consensus within the industry that this Huayi drama is likely to fail.

Not to mention the collapsed reputation of the first film, the current promotional plan alone seems to be lacking in sincerity and highlights. It is really unprofessional to expect these routines to fool the audience.

Even from Huayi's publicity efforts and level of attention, it can be judged that Wang Daxiao and others have no confidence in the sequel.

This is indeed the case. The box office of "Tai Chi 2" on the first day was 810 million, which is even worse than the first one.

The key word of mouth is also extremely poor, with an Impression.com score of 5.6 points, and the comment section is full of curses.

"You call this 3D? It's the same whether I'm wearing the glasses or not. This is called fraud!!"

"Fuck you liar, give me your money back."

"Feng Shaofeng's four young actors only play this dog thing?"

"I was wrong. I thought the first part had already hit rock bottom, but I didn't expect the second part would completely change my outlook. I regret it now."

"."

There is no doubt that "Tai Chi 2" is completely hopeless. The so-called two-part series is an absolute loss.

However, Huayi was well prepared and quickly transferred all its promotional resources to "1942" which would be released at the end of the month.

Feng Dapao is currently attending a film festival in Rome. However, facing a remote interview with the media, he seemed very confident and made a bold statement:

"This movie is the product of my hard work and the work I am most satisfied with. I am confident that the box office will exceed 10 billion and compete head-on with Gravity!"

Feng Dapao's words caused a great public response. In other words, except for "Gravity", he didn't care about other movies.

This made Lu Chuan very unhappy, and he immediately stood up to defend his dignity as a "great director", saying bluntly that "The Banquet" is an epic historical blockbuster that will definitely not disappoint the audience.

As these two people spoke out one after another, the other movies released during the Lunar New Year holiday also did not want to be left out and all came out.

"The Grandmaster" has directly released the latest trailer. The King of Sunglasses is indeed one of the best directors in Hong Kong at photographing women. Under his lens, Mr. Gong Er, played by Zhang Ziyi, has a sense of extreme beauty.

The first version of the promotional poster of "Gravity" and a 1-minute trailer also came out.

The vast space, the blue earth, the quiet space station, the sudden rain of satellite debris, and the constantly flying astronauts.
With specially produced background music and extreme special effects, the atmosphere of a science fiction disaster film is fully created in just a few scenes.

Coupled with Wei Jin's strong appeal, and the film being the first 3D science fiction opening film in the history of the Venice Film Festival, netizens are extremely looking forward to it.

As a result, as soon as this initial version of the trailer was released on Shanhe Media’s official Weibo account, the number of likes exceeded 600 million, and the number of related comments exceeded million, and the data is still soaring rapidly.

As the heroine of the movie, although Zeng Li rarely appears on Weibo, she also reposted and commented in support this time.

Several queens, Jing Tian, ​​Liu Yifei, and even Gao Yuanyuan who was waiting to give birth in North America were also not left out.

Other close female friends, friends in the circle, and many artists from Star Culture also expressed their support and expectations.

For a time, the popularity of "Gravity" was off the charts!
