During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 50 The intruding fifth party and the crazy female celebrities
  Since he decided to use "Painted Skin" to top the box office list, Wei Jin naturally watched the original movie again and again.

In the previous life, Wei and Jin did not necessarily have the professional ability to tell the pros and cons of movies. They could only comment like most viewers: very good to watch, worth watching, average, not good to watch, and terrible.

But in this life, after two or three years of training in film school, coupled with the ability to remember a photograph, and watching the finished film repeatedly in his mind, Wei Jin has the ability to delete the unreasonable parts of the original plot.

Watching the entire original movie, the main focus is on the special effects and the mind-boggling human-male love triangle.

But I don’t know whether it was to make up for the running time or to attract people, but in addition to the three core protagonists, another love hexagon was created.

The lizard spirit likes Xiao Wei, Zhen Zhuan is Pei Rong's love interest, and Sun Li also likes Zhen Zhuan. They fall in love in circles, which is called chaos. It not only disrupts the original rhythm, but also adds a bit of blood.

After Wei and Jin revised it, they retained the core selling points and relied on special effects and shemale sadomasochism to win.

In the original version, Zhen Bullet's character and Sun Li's character were merged into one, becoming a character similar to Yan Chixia. The lizard spirit only had a crush on Xiao Wei and never confessed it. There was no need for romance everywhere, and the other was the fighting scenes. You need to upgrade it and make it stand out.

In addition, the number of investors has changed from four to five, which was also somewhat unexpected by Wei and Jin.

On the night after the good communication with Han Sanping, Wei Jin received a call from Xiying's Vice President Deng. On the phone, he first talked about his hometown feelings.

Then he invited Director Yinxiong to go back to his hometown to have a look, maybe it would inspire some creative inspiration, right? Then he took the opportunity to give classes to the directors of his hometown film studio, telling them how to shoot commercial films, and finally politely proposed that he would like to participate in " Investment in Painted Skin.

Wei Jin thought for a while and agreed, but made it clear that the investment share was not high, so he could only suffer from Bernard and Fiber Optic, and reduce the share.

When Mr. Deng heard on the phone that Wei Jin had agreed to this matter, for a moment he really thought that Director Yinxiong, who had gone out from his hometown, was thinking about the friendship with his hometown, and complained again.

As policies become clearer and encourage the film market to flourish, everyone knows that commercial films will be the mainstream, and box office is king.

However, it is very difficult for traditional film studios to transform. The main reason is that their basic base is there and their ideas are deeply ingrained. Old directors cannot make commercial films, and they cannot train new people. In this regard, they are not as good as private enterprises.

After taking responsibility for its own profits and losses, it fully participated in the market competition. Xiying gradually began to fall behind. The reason is not complicated. Talents in the industry are concentrated in Beijing and Shanghai. The most famous art schools are also here. Economically, they are even more incomparable. Yes, Xiying’s decline is doomed.

Wei Jin understood this, and Mr. Deng also understood this, but he was unwilling to accept it. In that position, he had to do something.

Not only was there a young director coming out of his hometown, he was also the director of Silver Bear in Berlin, with a commercial box office of over 100 million. I learned about this new project through internal information, and I made this phone call.

In fact, it was very simple for Wei Jin to agree to Xiying's investment. One more person would give him more power, and he didn't have to transfer his share anyway. The second was the location for the filming of "Painted Skin". Xiying could really help a lot, plus After all, it is a hometown company, so it’s hard for people to say that they don’t miss the old feelings.

After hanging up the phone call from Mr. Deng, Wei Jin looked sad. The eight major studios in the past had just declined.

The final investment share was determined to be 50% for Weijin Fengliu, 25% for China Film, 8% for Bernard, 8% for Optical Fiber, and 9% for Xiying.

On the day the "Painted Skin" project was announced, Wei Jin received calls from all directions, mostly from female celebrities.

This is normal. It is a large-scale production with an investment of 8000 million yuan, and it is written and directed by the director Yin Xiong, who has a box office of over million yuan. Naturally, it has attracted all kinds of attention in the industry, especially the fact that the female protagonist is stronger than the male protagonist in various channels. .

There are too few major commercial productions in the entertainment industry with female characters as the main characters. "Painted Skin" is originally a love drama. In addition, Wei and Jin's last movie "Those Years" promoted Liu Yifei to the position of "the nation's first love". The industry generally believes that Wei Jin is good at filming scenes with women.

As a result, all the popular actresses in the entertainment industry went crazy, and those who had Wei Jin's phone number directly called.

Gao Yuanyuan called to ask when she would go to 501. She had recently bought many new styles of underwear and asked Wei Jin to help see if they fit.

Wei Jin said that he has been very busy recently and may not have time until the movie is finished, and asked her to send photos for her to see.

Liu Xiaoli called and said they hadn't seen him for a long time. Yifei missed him a little and wanted to treat Wei Jin to a meal.

Wei Jin directly said that Liu Yifei had no role and her acting skills were too poor.

Fan Bingbing texted a hotel room number, but Wei Jin ignored it.

Those who don't have Wei Jin's phone number still have to find connections and find ways to get roles. Zhao Yanzi directly contacted the school teachers to establish relationships;

International Chapter contacted China Film Group and expressed its willingness to reduce the film's salary.

Li Bingbing expressed his idea of ​​starring to Wei Jin through Huayi President Xiao Wang, and directly stated that he could star in the film for free.

Fortunately, Li Xiaowan also called and said that Zhou Xun's acting skills are great and the salary is not expensive.

Hairun even expressed that if Sun Li can get the role, she is willing to exchange it for a high-quality TV series project.

Even Xingmei and Yinghuang, who had not had much contact with Wei Jin, called to recommend their candidates.

Even the slightly older Ning Jing, Xiao Taohong, Xu Qing and others had ideas. Later, even actresses from RB, South Korea, Singapore and other places contacted the company through various methods.

When Teacher Jiang called, she joked that there were too many people coming to class in the past two days, and many female students were counting on meeting Wei Jin at school and winning roles.

Wei Jin and several major investors are also happy to see everyone vying for the right to increase the popularity of the movie in advance.

When he received the invitation call from Weijin Fengliu Film and Television Company, Zhou Xun felt like he was suddenly overjoyed.

In fact, she didn't have high hopes. The competition was too fierce. Lucky Da had no business dealings with Wei Jin Fengliu, and she herself only had a relationship with Wei Jin.

However, Zhou Xun is a good person and immediately expressed his willingness to halve the salary after receiving the call.

After finalizing Zhou Xun's schedule, Wei Jin was also very satisfied. After all, after watching the original film many times, Zhou Xun's performance was indeed wonderful. Someone else might not be able to play this role well.

The male lead was finally cast on Chen Kun, firstly because Wei Jin had seen the original film and Chen Kun’s performance was quite satisfactory, secondly because he had a close relationship with Zhou Xun, they had a good understanding and a sense of CP, and thirdly because of Liu Ye I had a problem with Zhou Xun.

This matter was also told by Chen Zhiming to Wei Jin. It turned out that Liu Ye and Zhou Xun had collaborated in 2002. The two had a quarrel on the set. Liu Ye scolded Zhou Xun in person for his lack of acting skills and that he had to get his role by sleeping with the director. , Zhou Xun also slapped Liu Ye in the face with a drink bottle, and the two have not interacted with each other since then.

In the end, the other female lead, Wei Jin, was of course given to Zeng Li. The moment she got the role, Sister Li was very moved, but more uneasy.

"Xiao Jin, will it embarrass you if you let me play the role like this?"

"It's okay. I'm the biggest investor. Arranging a role is not a matter of course."

"But I've never acted in a movie. I'm afraid I won't be able to act well and will hold you back."

"It's okay, Sister Li, you have to believe in yourself. Teacher Jiang said that you performed very well in "Latent". In addition, you have to believe in me."

"But I don't have much publicity. How about you find a popular star? It will also help the movie box office."

"Sister Li, believe me, "The Best in the World" will be aired soon, and "Latent" is expected to be aired by the end of the year. After these two dramas, you will be a popular star."

"But."

"Sister Li, don't worry, it's time to go to bed."

"Well"
