During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 485: Rising in rank without any sense of responsibility
Perhaps it was because she was too quiet and wanted to move, or perhaps she wanted to experience a different kind of travel, Liu Yifei finally chose to join "Flowers and Youth".

However, the little girl made a request, hoping that Shu Chang could also participate.

Wei Jin certainly had no objection to this. After all, there would be five female guests on the show, so it didn't matter who he supported.
As expected, when Wei Jin told Zhang Yipei the news, the latter could hardly suppress the curve of his mouth.

"Boss Wei, with the addition of Ms. Liu, the ratings of our variety show will reach a new level, hahahaha"

Wei Jin fully agreed with Zhang Yipei's judgment.

Although Liu Yifei does not have many working hours, with the bonus of countless classic TV dramas, her popularity among the 85 flowers is definitely the highest, and her number of fans is astonishing.

In this respect, Jing Tian can't compare.

If she participates in the program, the popularity will definitely go through the roof. There is no need to worry about the ratings, and even negotiations with the TV station will be smoother.

Afterwards, the two began to discuss other guest candidates, but Wei Jin did not expect that Zhang Yipei's ambition was even bigger than he imagined.

"Wait, Director Zhang, are you saying that you want to invite Zeng Li to participate?"

Zhang Yipei nodded, his squinting eyes sparkling with wisdom.

"That's right, Mr. Wei, you see, for our show's five female guests, it would be best if they were born in the 70s, 80s, or 90s. I think Ms. Zeng Li is very suitable."

After listening to Zhang Yipei's explanation, Wei Jin admitted that he was somewhat moved.

On the one hand, Zeng Li is definitely the most famous among the big stars born in the 70s, and she is rarely exposed in her daily life, and has almost never been on variety shows. Once she participates, it will cause a huge response and will indeed bring benefits to the program.

On the other hand, it can also allow her and Liu Yifei to have more contact with each other in advance, cultivate their feelings, and lay the foundation for a harmonious family in the future.

However, considering Zeng Li's personality and the recording time of the program, Wei Jin shook his head and refused.

"Director Zhang, forget about Zeng Li this season, consider someone else"

As a worker, Zhang Yipei knew how to position himself correctly. He nodded and said:
"Okay, Mr. Wei."

Not long after Zhang Yipei left, Jiang Xueman walked in with a smile on her face.

"Boss Wei, the subsequent broadcast rights for Princess Agents have been negotiated."

Listening to Jiang Xueman's report, Wei Jin also smiled.

After more than a month of broadcasting, "Princess Agents" came to an end a few days ago.

The peak ratings exceeded 3, the peak audience share reached 11.73, the average ratings also remained at around 2.3, and the average audience share exceeded 10.

This result is slightly worse than that of "The East Palace" at the beginning of the year, but it is undoubtedly better than "Mind Game".

As of now, it has secured a place in the top three in national ratings this year.

That would be fine if it were just that. Shanhe Media has produced so many hits in recent years that Wei Jin doesn't take it to heart.

The key is that the achievements of this drama on the Internet exceeded the imagination of Shanhe Media and even Wei Jin.

Since it was launched on the three major satellite TV stations and two major online platforms in early October, the broadcast data of "Princess Agents" has repeatedly set new records. As of the day of its completion, it generated more than 10 billion traffic on the online platforms.

Although this data may not seem like much compared to the hundreds of billions of traffic in later generations, you have to know that in this era, the data on online playback volume is not inflated and has a very high gold content.

For example, "Love Apartment 3", which was extremely popular this year, only had 7 million views on Youku and Tudou in 3 days.

Even after the whole drama is over, as of now, more than three months after the premiere of "Love Apartment 3", the number of views is less than 20 billion.

Another example is the hit TV series "Eastern Palace" at the beginning of the year, whose views have just exceeded 10 billion in the past ten months.

In addition, "Princess Agents" has not only been recognized in the domestic market, but has also successfully entered the eyes of audiences in Russia, Japan, North America and other countries, especially on overseas new media platforms such as YouTube, where it has received great attention.

With the support of various data, "Princess Agents" was so popular that the second and third round broadcasting rights were snatched up by many TV stations, and 9 local TV stations sold them for a total of 270 million yuan.

Taking into account the online copyright, Tudou and LeTV cost 80 per episode, the cumulative price of a single episode of this TV series is as high as 650 million, which is even more exaggerated than the original "The Legend of Zhen Huan"!

This drama has a total of 60 episodes, with a total revenue of 3.9 million. After deducting production costs and publicity costs, the profit exceeded 2.5 million, which is absolutely a huge profit!
More importantly, the effect of this drama in promoting people is really strong.

In just over a month since the TV series started airing, Zhao Liying's Weibo followers have increased by more than 300 million, and the number is still skyrocketing.

She rose directly from an unknown little artist to a stable second-tier actress, and even barely stepped into the quasi-first-tier ranks.

Qiao Zhenyu, who plays the leading male role, has also received a lot of support. Although the number of his fans has not increased much, his pay for TV dramas has skyrocketed.

At present, the external offer for Qiao Zhenyu has reached 70 per episode, which is much higher than that of Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao, making him the number one in the country.

Of course, this is not just the result of one play, but with the influx of hot money, the actors' pay has also seen a rapid increase.

The era of sky-high film pay is getting closer and closer!

It is already the middle of November, and just two days after the finale of "Princess Agents", another new drama from Shanhe Media, also the last TV drama of 11, has started filming. There have been many related reports in the media.

"The urban martial arts drama "Dragon and Snake Romance", jointly produced by Shanhe Media and Jiaxing Entertainment Studio, with an investment of 50 million, started filming in Shancheng today.

The drama is adapted from the work of the same name by online novelist Meng Rushenji, starring Star Culture's popular young actor Zhu Yilong and new female artist Wang Zixuan, with many action actors joining in. It tells the story of..."

This novel promoted the traditional Chinese martial arts genre and is regarded as the culmination of the new generation of traditional Chinese martial arts. Since it was serialized in 08, no similar work has surpassed it.

Therefore, the original novel has many fans. When the photos of the start of filming and the final makeup photos, as well as media reports came out, many book fans expressed their expectations.

At the same time, after more than eighty days, the filming of "Dear" was finally completed.

As a realistic anti-trafficking film, it had been extremely popular before, so as soon as Cao Baoping and his group came out of the airport, they were surrounded by the media who had heard the news.

"Director Cao, when will the movie be released to the public?"

"The post-production work has not started yet, and it is unclear when the finished film will be released. It is too early to discuss the release date now."

Seeing Cao Baoping, who was reluctant to speak and even seemed a little tired, the media turned the microphone to the leading actress Zhou Xun.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, this is your second collaboration with Director Cao. How do you think it compares to Li Mi's Conjecture?"

Zhou Xun has been in the industry for many years and is very familiar with interviews.

"The two films are completely different in genre and cannot be generalized, but I feel that this is the most meaningful film I have made so far, and I once again appeal to all sectors of society: no buying, no harm."

The media then turned their attention to Huang Bo, who was a Golden Horse Award winner after all, so he still had some status.

"Excuse me, Mr. Huang Bo, what are your expectations for the box office performance of the movie?"

"I believe that with Shanhe Media's script, director Cao and so many big names in the cast, the box office will definitely be good, but what I hope more is that this play can help those families who have lost their children."

Although the crew members of "Dear" have finished filming one after another, Wei Jin still arranged a wrap-up party for everyone.

As a member of the crew, Zeng Li also accompanied Wei Jin to attend the event.

After some greetings, everyone sat down one after another. "Teacher Cao, you have worked hard. There is no rush for the post-production this time. You can take a rest for a while."

Cao Baoping is almost 60 years old. After several months, the fatigue on his face is hard to conceal. Wei Jin really can't bear to squeeze him too much, not to mention that the schedule is not in a hurry.

"Well, that's fine too."

Cao Baoping nodded and followed suit, then started chatting with Wei Jin about "Outstanding Citizens".

The filming of this drama started at the end of last month. According to Tian Zhuangzhuang's plan, the filming will take about three months.

However, because the filming location was far away, Wei Jin was unable to go to the scene.

"By the way, Mr. Cao, I don't quite understand why you insist on going to Jilin Province to shoot?"

Cao Baoping sighed: "During the special period, your teacher went to the countryside and later served in the army for a few years. Maybe he wanted to say goodbye to the past completely."

After hearing this, Wei Jin suddenly thought of his uncle. Maybe people of that era had some things in their hearts that they couldn't let go of.

"By the way, Wei Jin, I have something to discuss with you."

"Well, Mr. Cao, you go ahead."

Cao Baoping put down his chopsticks and thought for a while before explaining:
"It's like this. The prototype, Mr. Sun, made a request to me when we were wrapping up the film. He hoped to add his phone number at the end of the film so that I could contact him in case there was any news about the child."

"Teacher Cao, if this is the case, I'm afraid that many people will cause trouble, or even encounter scammers, right?"

"Well, I told him the same thing, but Mr. Sun's original words were that he wasn't afraid of scammers, he was just afraid that no one would call him."

As soon as Cao Baoping said this, everyone at the table fell silent, and Zeng Li, as a mother, had red eyes.

"Okay, Mr. Cao, then add the information. It doesn't matter whether it's the opening or the ending credits. Just decide where to put it."

"it is good."

Perhaps because the atmosphere was a little silent, Huang Bai started to make jokes.

"Mr. Zhou, you have a good relationship with Huang Xiaoming, right? What about him?"

Zhou Xun instantly understood the source of the gossip and showed disdain on his face.

"Haha, I'm just putting the blame on someone else. When we were filming The Deer and the Cauldron, the actor was not the same as now. I can only say, man, haha."

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, don't kill everyone with one blow. I have my responsibilities."

Wei Jin was lying down and was shot, feeling speechless. It was Yang Ying's fault.

I don’t know what this woman is thinking every day. She actually publicly stated in front of the media that Li Fei'er is the third party between Huang Xiaoming and her.

The key point is that Huang Xiaoming was a bit cowardly this time and did not stand up to correct it.

To the extent that his ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend have been having a fierce quarrel online these days.

"I can attest to this. Old Wei is still responsible, Li Zi, right? Haha."

Huang Bai laughed and joked cheerfully, saying that among all the people present, he was the one who had known Zeng Li the longest and knew the story of Zeng Li and Wei Jin best.

From his point of view, Wei Jin may be a playboy, but he never abandoned his lover, which shows that he was very responsible.

Faced with the teasing of her old friend, Zeng Li calmed down and rolled her eyes.

"Brother Bo, please drink less tonight, Xiao Ou is not here."

"Hahaha"

When Wei Jin heard this, he laughed immediately and recalled the funny thing that happened when he first had dinner with Huang Bai and his wife.

"Hey, Lao Wei, don't just laugh, tell me in detail, tell me in detail."

Not only Zhou Xun was curious, but Zhang Yi, Zhang Songwen and others were also looking at Wei Jin, not hiding their curiosity at all.

"It's nothing. Seven or eight years ago, Lao Huang asked me to have a barbecue and drink beer. As a result, of course, I fell to the ground. But he still refused to accept it and said that the beer made his stomach bloated.

So the second time he brought his wife to meet me, he changed into white clothes. I taught him how to be a good person. If Xiao Ou hadn’t been there that night, he would have had to sleep in the private room.

Wei Jin pretended to be cool but kept his achievements and fame hidden.

"Hahaha"

Zhou Xun laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "Old Huang, don't you know that Old Wei can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk? He's really stubborn."

"We just met at that time, how could I know that he could drink so much."

Huang Bai waved his hand nonchalantly, then added with some sigh:
"You don't know, Lao Wei was fine after drinking more than a dozen bottles of Erguotou. It's really weird."

"Well, Lao Wei's alcohol tolerance is indeed abnormal. During the time of "The Sound of Wind"

Zhou Xun also began to share the story of drinking with Wei Jin, and gave the latter a look that showed he understood.

She could never forget the back of Yang Rong as he left with Wei Jin that night. This bastard was really playing too much, but it was a pity that he didn't even let her have a taste of it.

No one at the scene knew what Zhou Xun was thinking. At this moment, everyone seemed to start talking and began to reminisce about the past.

It so happens that almost everyone present here has known Wei Jin for quite some time and has many stories to tell.

As the saying goes, stories go hand in hand with wine, the more you drink, the more interesting it becomes. The atmosphere on the scene is becoming more and more lively, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more harmonious.

As we chatted, we talked about the upcoming Golden Horse Awards.

Coincidentally, among those present, Zeng Li and Zhou Xun both participated in the Golden Horse Awards 6 years ago with Wei Jin.

Huang Bai and Zhang Songwen will also participate this time with Wei Jin.

"By the way, Lao Wei, when are you leaving?"

"Probably three or four days before the awards ceremony."

Huang Bo became depressed when he heard this. "I was thinking of enjoying your private jet, but now it's gone."

Wei Jin smiled and thought it was a pity that Huang Bai, as the host, got it before the opening ceremony, so he raised his glass and clinked wine with him.

"It's okay, we can come back together."

"Oh, yes, this is a great relationship. Haozi has been showing off to me since he came back from Cannes. I have to enjoy it this time, haha."
