During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 548: Lao Wang's thoughts on the surprise prepared by Li Jie

The premiere of "The Secret: Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains" has begun.

The invitation letters were sent to the entire industry early on. There are not many people in the entertainment industry who dare not give face to China Film Group and the Sixth Princess at the same time.

Wei and Jin can certainly be considered one of them, but personally, he really doesn't want to go.

But he received calls from Lao Han and a big shot from the organizer's film channel, and since the filming location was near Beijing, he had no reason to refuse.

Fortunately, the time was suitable. Wei Jin finished the day's shooting two hours in advance and went to the appointment with Liu Yifei, who was simply dressed up.

Arriving all the way to the Olympic Sports Center and looking at the scene in front of him, Wei Jin exclaimed, "Wow!"

Most of the entertainment industry came to watch "The Secret of Fuchun Mountains".

"Mr. Wei, Ms. Liu, thank you for taking the time to attend the premiere."

Although Wei Jin was not very familiar with Mr. Sun, who was directing for the first time, he still had to give some face to the smiling person since he was greeted by him with a smile.

"You're welcome, Mr. Sun. I wish you a big box office success."

After greeting Mr. Sun, Wei Jin took Liu Yifei and walked towards the interior of the venue.

The main creative team was already greeting guests everywhere, and one of the leading actors Jiang Yiyan also spotted Liu Yifei and greeted her with a smile.

After a few pleasantries, King Liu came up again.

"Brother Hua, long time no see."

"Director Wei, Yifei, thank you for your support."

King Liu gave Wei Jin a big hug, then patted him on the shoulder and sighed.

"After the movie, please don't laugh at me."

At this moment, Wei Jin remembered what King Liu said on the phone two years ago.

I filmed for over a month and I have no idea what I was acting in. I always felt that the plot was completely off the main plot and it was a mess from beginning to end.
A movie that could make King Liu complain like that must be really bad.

But since he was here today, he certainly wouldn't say anything to spoil the mood. He just smiled and said goodbye.

"Brother Hua, you are too serious. How could that be?"

As one of the producers, Han Sanping seemed very busy today. He was surrounded by several bigwigs of the same level from Shanghai Film Studio, Changchun Film Studio, Xi'an Film Studio and other companies. Ordinary people were not qualified to join them.

Wei Jin was also happy to be free, so he got together with Fiber Optic Old Wang to chat and gossip, but he didn't expect that this old guy actually had his eyes on the company's director.

"Brother, there are only a few directors worth their salt in the industry right now. Aren't the people in your company idle anyway?"

Wei Jin didn't rush to refuse, but asked curiously: "What movie is it? Do you need help from me?"

"Brother, as you know, So Young made a lot of money. I was thinking of making another youth film while the iron is hot. It just so happens that another company has the script. Isn't that a good idea?"

Wei Jin nodded, not surprised. This type of film has low production costs, short production cycles, and good box office. There are too many companies following suit.

Lao Wang on the side continued to explain excitedly:

"Brother, do you remember the song "My Deskmate" by Ai Da Jin? He has personally led someone to write the script. It's a youth theme with a nostalgic style, so it's definitely worth doing."

Wei Jin frowned as he listened. "So Young" and "Left Ear" are at least based on novels, but does Ai Da Jin have the ability to expand a song like "You, My Deskmate" into a movie?
However, this kind of film is sure to make money, but it is of no help to the director's reputation, so Wei Jin asked:

"I wonder who you want to invite, brother?"

"How is Lin Yufen?"

This name did not surprise Wei Jin. After "Left Ear", Lin Yufen was also well-known in the industry, and this was a youth theme that she was good at, so he nodded:

"Okay, no problem on my end, but you know, the company's management has always been very relaxed. Whether she is willing to take it or not, it's up to you to negotiate."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Old Wang's face. As long as Wei Jin agreed, it would be easy.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to contact her later, and I'm sure she won't be treated unfairly in terms of pay."

"Ah."

After chatting with Lao Wang for a while, the premiere on the stage began, and a group of creators shared interesting stories during the filming.

When the reporter asked about the box office expectations, Sun Jianjun half-jokingly said that he wanted to catch up with Wei Jin's "The Thief".

Many people at the scene also expressed their anticipation, but unfortunately, as the movie started, everyone became more and more confused.

As Sun Jianjun said before, there are many elements in the film, and the filming took place in several countries and regions, including Dubai, Milan, and Tokyo.
The movie's iconic Hollywood elements, such as luxury cars and beauties, are dazzling, and the colors throughout the film are also very bright.

However, the film looks rosy on the outside but is rotten on the inside. It gives people a feeling of being forced together, and it has no idea what it is trying to express.

Overall, the most memorable part of the movie, despite its fancy appearance, is the forbidden love between Tong Dawei and Lin Chi-lin.

Wei Jin was thinking that since No Man's Land and The Secret of Fuchun Mountains were released in the same period, he might even get some benefits from his rival.

However, the sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the producer had enough face. When the movie came to an end, there was quite a lot of applause from the audience.

The subsequent media release about the premiere was full of cover-ups.

It's all descriptions of the pictures and the 3D effects, all praised in the same old way. As for the plot and acting, there's no mention of anything like that.

It is obvious what the producers are planning.

But these have nothing to do with Wei Jin. He put all his energy into shooting the new film.

"The Fault in Our Stars" is an artistic romance film filled with a large number of daily life scenes, giving people a feeling of slow and soothing rhythm.

In the script, more than 8% of the scenes are about Wei Jin and Liu Yifei.

After their first meeting in the "Patient Mutual Aid Group", the male and female protagonists began to slowly get closer.

The male protagonist played by Wei Jin is the more active one. He always reminds the female protagonist to take medicine on time, accompanies her to watch movies, chat and play.
Time flies, three days have passed, and the crew ushered in an important scene.

It was also at this time that Zhou Xun, who had completed his charity ambassador activities and adjusted to the jet lag at home for a day, came to visit the crew.

"Lao Wei, this is great. You can make a movie and fall in love at the same time. It's the best of both worlds."

Zhou Xun's tone was somewhat emotional, this bastard was so promiscuous, yet he never got into trouble, it was totally unfair.

"Why? Are you jealous? Hurry up and find a man. You're almost 40, right?"

"Get lost, don't bring up anything that's not relevant to the topic."

Rolling his eyes was not enough for Zhou Xun, he also gave a middle finger, then looked at the crew who were preparing, a little confused.

"What are they going to shoot? It's quite a big deal."

Wei Jin pointed at Liu Yifei who was putting on makeup, "Well, I invited her to travel, but she got water in her lungs, and her condition started to worsen and spread."

"Oh my god, it's really a standard literary romance film, the plot is quite classic"

After seeing Liu Yifei's new makeup, Zhou Xun gave her a thumbs up.

"Yifei, this look definitely adds points to your appearance. Now I believe you can do a good job in the photo." Liu Yifei in front of him was wearing a hospital gown, his face was withered, his eyes were blue, his face was pale, without a trace of blood, he looked like a terminally ill patient.

Although Zhou Xun's words were a bit impolite, Liu Yifei had a smile on her face.

"Hehe, then thank you for the recognition from the three major film actresses."

While the set was preparing, Wei Jin checked the situations of the previous few items.

The first news today was about Liu Yifei being awakened from her sleep by the feeling of suffocation caused by water in her lungs, and she shouted with all her might.

Liu Xiaoli, who heard the news, hurriedly hugged him around the waist and ran straight to the black private car parked in the yard.

The second scene was set in the hospital, where the doctor told Liu Xiaoli that the heroine's cancer cells had already shown signs of spreading.
To be honest, Liu Xiaoli's performance in the past few days gave Wei Jin a big surprise.

While fitting the role perfectly, there isn't even a trace of acting at all, and his skill is evident in the details.

"It was a good idea to let her play the role this time."

After sighing, Wei Jin saw that everything was ready and immediately picked up the loudspeaker.

"All units, get ready. 30 seconds countdown."

Each group moved quickly, and the field staff kept track of the time.

"The Fault in Our Stars, Scene 16, Take 1, First Time."

"action!"

In the camera, Liu Yifei was lying on the hospital bed with her makeup freshly put on, with many tubes inserted into her body, and she woke up from a deep coma.

"What's wrong with me?"

Liu Yifei was weak and still a little confused.

"It's nothing, just too much fluid in my lungs. The doctor just drained it out. I'm fine now."

Liu Xiaoli tried her best to avoid the main issue, calm her daughter and cover up the fact that the cancer cells had spread.

But after more than 20 years together, how could a daughter not notice something unusual? She immediately made some guesses, but no one exposed her, and they just looked at each other quietly.
"Hey, this is over, let's take a rest."

As soon as Wei Jin finished speaking, Zhou Xun walked over and gave Liu Xiaoli a thumbs up.

"Auntie, you acted really well. Even professional actors can do no better than this."

Liu Xiaoli blushed, a little embarrassed, "Haha, Miss Zhou, you're joking. I don't have much acting experience. I just act based on my feelings and emotions, so I don't deserve praise."

“No, no, it’s really good.”

Seeing Zhou Xun and Liu Xiaoli being polite to each other, Liu Yifei, who was lying on the hospital bed, became unhappy and quickly interrupted.

"Mr. Zhou, what about me? What about me? Didn't I act badly just now?"

Zhou Xun teased mischievously: "You should ask your brother about this, haha."

Zhou Xun had a lunch with the crew and chatted with Wei Jin about the situation of "Red Sorghum".

As for the actors, Jiang Xuemeng had already reported on it before.

During the audition, Zhu Yawen, who was under Wang Jinhua, performed well. He portrayed the "rough guy" opposite Jiang Wen very well and got the leading male role.

Secondly, Huang Xuan, who had worked with Wei Jin before, also got the role of the second male lead.

The rest of the cast, such as Qin Hailu and Yu Rongguang, are also veteran actors recognized by Zheng Xiaolong, and the company did not interfere.

Zhou Xun has returned, and Zheng Xiaolong plans to start filming in three days, which should give her some time to adjust.

Unexpectedly, this led to Zhou Xun's complaints: "I don't think it's necessary. I'm a triple-A Film Award winner, so I can easily direct this TV series."

Zhou Xun's appearance stunned Liu Xiaoli, Luo Jin and others at the dinner table. She is the winner of three major film awards, right? Is this fake?

"Tsk tsk, come on, the tone of your voice makes someone who doesn't know you think you are one of the three most successful film actresses in Europe."

Wei Jin said something sarcastic with a smile, and Zhou Xun immediately fought back.

"Hey, Lao Wei, don't say anything. If you dare to write a script for your sister, do you believe that the Grand Slam will be just like that?"

At this point, Zhou Xun raised his eyebrows and said provocatively: "Old Wei, how about we make a bet?"

"Well, your provocation is useless to me. I'll just say this to you: no chance."

What a joke! There were only four empresses, and Wei and Jin dynasties were overwhelmed with them, so how could they have the time to write a script for Master Zhou?

"Pooh,."

At least considering that Liu Xiaoli was here, Zhou Xun didn't utter the word "scumbag" after that, but Wei Jin could tell from her mouth shape.

The crew filmed as usual in the afternoon, but Wei Jin deliberately finished work an hour early and took Liu Yifei to attend the premiere of "No Man's Land".

This movie has been anticipated for four years. Ning Hao said on stage that he would never let everyone down, and jokingly said that he, Huang Bai and Xu Zheng are the "stainless steel" iron triangle combination.

When asked about the sensitive topic of deletion, the highly emotional Huang Bo said that it was mainly for the protection of children.

After all, the original version, in which all the characters are villains, is really too dark.

However, even after being cut and re-shot, "No Man's Land" is still considered a commercial film of above-average standards.

This can be seen from the applause that broke out at the end of the movie.

After the premiere, Wei Jin did not stay at the scene. After sending Liu Yifei home, he went straight back to his villa in Yanjiao.

Sister Li’s press release has ended. She just came back today, so she should take some time to replenish her beauty’s energy, right?
But he didn't expect that his mature sister was so caring and had already prepared a surprise for him.

On the snow-white bed, Zeng Li was leaning against the headboard, wearing a black transparent ultra-short cheongsam, revealing her fair skin and proud figure.

The short and narrow hem of the cheongsam does not serve any purpose except to add a touch of color to the plump buttocks.
Moving your eyes downward, you will see a pair of slender legs intertwined and half-wrapped in highly translucent black stockings, full of temptation.

There is no doubt that Zeng Li at this moment is full of the charm of a mature woman.

"Sister Li, is this new?"

Wei Jin swallowed, walked quickly to the bed, and through the translucent cheongsam, he split his hands into two groups.

"Hmm~~ little brother, do you like it?"

Zeng Li bit her red lips lightly, her eyes moving, she stretched out her slender white fingers, hooked Wei Jin's chin, her tone full of teasing.

"It's more than just love, Sister Li, you are playing with fire."

Soon, the beauty raised her head, and her crystal clear amber-like beautiful eyes were already covered with layers of mist.

"Little brother, what are you waiting for?"
