During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 551: A Man's Head and a Woman's Waist
"The Fault in Our Stars" is an artistic romance film, but the ending is not happy.

It's not just the hero and heroine's tragedy, the hero's best friend is also a tragedy.

He suffered from retinoblastoma and had already lost one eye. As his disease worsened, the other eye also needed to be removed.

What's even more terrifying is that his big-breasted girlfriend, who had been so sweet before, couldn't accept the ending of being completely blind and wanted to leave him.
What we filmed today was Luo Jin venting his emotions at Wei Jin’s house. The plot was very simple and the filming went smoothly.

After a scene was over, Huang Mengying, with her hair tied in a bun and full of energy, walked over.

"Boss, there are a lot of reporters outside who want to visit the set."

Wei Jin shook his head. "We are not accepting visits or interviews right now. If there is anything, let Chen Xi handle it."

Art films are different from commercial films. They do not require so much publicity before they are released. It is more appropriate to keep the mystery and suspense until the end.

"Ok."

After saying that, Huang Mengying was about to leave, but Wei Jin stopped her.

"Mengying, you are about to graduate, right?"

"Well, the process has been completed. The only thing left is the graduation ceremony on the 27th."

"That's perfect. Director Ning's "Heart Flower Road" has already started casting. Go back to the company this afternoon and Zhang Xu will take you there for an audition."

Huang Mengying was stunned: "Ah?"

"What? Don't you want to debut yet?"

"no no."

Huang Mengying shook her head quickly. Since she had chosen this path, how could she not want to debut? Moreover, this was Ning Hao's play.

"I'm just afraid that I'll perform poorly and embarrass my boss."

"Don't worry, she's just the second female lead, and the acting requirements aren't too high. If you perform normally, there will be no problem."

Wei Jin comforted himself by saying that there haven't been too many female characters in Ning Hao's scripts, but this "Lost in Thailand" is an exception, and every character is quite outstanding.

Especially the second female lead, a Shamatte girl, who leaves a very deep impression on people.

Moreover, since Yuan Quan has already been chosen for the leading female role, it is a promotion for Huang Mengying. After all, this classmate of Sister Li is a real star with real talent.

As for other roles, Wei Jin didn't want to interfere. If the company's artists were willing, Zhang Xu would arrange it himself.

With Wei Jin's strong support, Ning Hao naturally would not refuse to give face, and Huang Mengying successfully got the role. The so-called audition was more like a formality.

However, this is somewhat unfair to other female stars.

"Sister Hua, why? I performed very well in yesterday's audition, and Director Ning was very satisfied with me. How come I am not suitable?"

In Wang Jinhua's office at Shiba Culture, Zhou Dongyu had a look of unwillingness on his face.

Since her debut as a "Mou Girl" in 10, her only work that she can show off is still "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

Now, more than three years have passed, her popularity is almost gone, and she urgently needs new works to increase her fame.

The work of a big director and the luxurious cast of "Lost in Thailand" perfectly meet the requirements.

And the one who auditioned was told that she was playing the second female lead. In fact, in terms of screen time, she had more shots than the first female lead, but she was positioned as the second female lead.

Zhou Dongyu really felt it was a pity to miss this opportunity.

Wang Jinhua, who was sitting opposite, was also helpless at this time.

I thought that with my connections in the industry and Zhou Dongyu's audition, I should be able to get the role.

In fact, she has rarely failed in her actions over the years.

But when Wang Jinhua heard the assistant's reply that it was Zhang Xu who personally led people to Bad Monkey, she didn't even have the courage to call Ning Hao to confirm again. After all, the other person has a stronger background.
However, facing Zhou Dongyu, Wang Jinhua still had to maintain the dignity of the company, so she tried to save face.

"Dong Yu, don't think too much. It's okay if you missed it. I'm working on a play that will be the leading actress, and it's definitely not worse than 'Lost in Thailand'."

Perhaps it was good luck, as soon as Wang Jinhua finished speaking, the assistant knocked on the door and came in. The two people in the room subconsciously looked over.

The assistant did not keep the topic secret and reported directly: "Boss Wang, there's a reply from the other side. The female lead has been won!"

Zhou Dongyu had a look of surprise on his face, "Sister Hua, this..."

"I've told you before that if you join the company, you will never be treated unfairly." Wang Jinhua said in a sophisticated manner.

In fact, when she learned about this drama before, she was still hesitant, and now is the perfect time to show it off.

"Thank you, thank you Sister Hua."

Zhou Dongyu really believed it. In just a few hours, he got another drama contract. He is worthy of being the number one agent in the domestic entertainment industry. Awesome!
"By the way, Sister Hua, what's the situation with this play?"

"Well, specifically."

The crew of "Star Luck", as the plot progresses, the male protagonist has started chemotherapy and Wei Jin has to shave his head.

At this moment, the barber was fiddling with Wei Jin's head. There were two photographers around him, one of whom was actually Lu Yang.

"Haha, these will be the behind-the-scenes footage when the movie comes out, I have to record them well, hahahaha"

Wei Jin was too tired to complain about Lu Yang's boredom, but he had no reason to refuse the behind-the-scenes footage.

Ten minutes later, Wei Jin's new look came out.

You know what, it’s really refreshing to feel the coolness on your head in the hot summer.

Suddenly, Wei Jin felt a hand on his head, and it felt a little cold.

"Hey, stop it, Yifei, you don't know"

"I know, a man's head is a woman's waist, at most I'll let you touch it."

Before Wei Jin finished speaking, the little girl answered him first, and then she became more and more excited, "Don't mention it, brother, yours feels like a peeled egg, and it feels really good."

Wei Jin grabbed the girl's hand, stood up, leaned close to her ear, and teased:

"Yifei, the part that really looks like an egg is not the head."

"So what else do you have?"

Halfway through her words, Liu Yifei suddenly reacted, a blush instantly appeared on her fair face, and she spat at Wei Jin.

"Brother, you are really..."

Seeing the girl's embarrassed look, Wei Jin moved closer.

"Hey, I'll give you a good touch tonight."

Wei Jin did what he said. In the evening, he not only let Liu Yifei touch him, but also let her taste the cooked eggs.

No, to be precise, it's duck eggs, and they are very big duck eggs.

Unfortunately, the little girl’s eating skills are not very good. It has been nearly half an hour and she still hasn’t finished eating.

Wei Jin was just about to do it himself when the phone next to him rang.

Looking at the caller ID, he directly pressed the speakerphone, and the voice of Fiber Optic Lao Wang sounded instantly.

Perhaps because of the success he had with "So Young", Guangfa was very efficient this time. In just half a month, he had completed the preparation and casting for "My Deskmate", and it would even start filming in a few days.

"You chose Lin Gengxin and Zhou Dongyu?"

"Well, Wanda sent a message. Lin Gengxin looks pretty good. As for Zhou Dongyu, she is a Mou girl after all, so she has some popularity. I originally wanted Bai Bin to come, but unfortunately her schedule is not suitable."

Wei Jin shook his head. It was not because of the inconvenience of schedule. Zhang Xu had just rejected the invitation when it was sent out.

After all, for Bai Bin, one of the Four Little Flowers, this kind of movie has no meaning other than exchanging fame for money.

However, Lin Yufen, perhaps in order to consolidate her achievements, finally took on the role.

Wei Jin didn't mind it, after all, it was clearly stated in the contract that the director could decide whether to accept outside roles as long as it didn't conflict with the company's arrangements. In addition, the fiber optic cable did give a lot of money.

"By the way, buddy, it's the premiere of 'The Inspector Gambler'. If you have no problem with that, why don't you come and show your support?"

"Brother, my shoot is almost over, I can't leave."

Wei Jin touched his bald head, feeling a little embarrassed, "How about this, brother, I'll ask Lao Chen to come over."

"Okay then. I'll tell Mr. Chen."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin saw Liu Yifei looking up, somewhat puzzled.

"Brother, the filming task isn't that heavy, right? Why don't you go?"

Wei Jin touched his new hairstyle and said, "How can I go out and meet people with this?"

This made the little girl laugh, "Hehe, I didn't expect you still have the image of an idol."

"Hehe, isn't it? You have seen my ugliest side now, so I have to shut your mouth."

After saying this, Wei Jin stretched out his hand and exerted a little force. The girl gave him a wink and lowered her head obediently.
As it entered late June, the filming of "Star Luck" was going more and more smoothly, with about one-third of the scenes remaining.

As Lu Yang shouted "action", Luo Jin, wearing sunglasses and holding a blind stick, entered the camera.

The double blow of physical and mental suffering made this supporting character, who was once extremely optimistic in the "Patients Mutual Aid Association", like a living dead.

"Don't be so depressed, at least you are still alive, but my time is running out."

Perhaps remembering what happened to the male protagonist, the best friend finally regained some of his energy, clumsily followed the direction of the voice, turned his head, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this in front of you."

Wei Jin moved his body with difficulty, came to Luo Jin, grabbed his hand, and stuffed a letter into it.

"what is this?"

"Keep it for me and give it to her when I leave."

"Okay, I will."

"Click."

As Lu Yang gave the order, a very important shot ended.

Next, the filming of the entire movie entered its final stage.

In the outside world, the movie "The Incredible Detective" was released.

Relying on the cast and Fiber Optic Lao Wang's reputation, the cinema chain gave it a high screening schedule, with an average screening rate of 28%.

Therefore, the film performed quite well on the first day of its release.

Despite the pressure from the imported blockbuster "Man of Steel", it closed at 2680 million.

The key is that after the script was adapted by Shanhe Media, its reputation improved a lot, and its score on Impression.com barely exceeded 7 points.

Relying on its decent reputation, the movie box office unsurprisingly saw an increase after the weekend.

After three days of the first weekend, it was close to the 9660 million yuan mark, closing at million.

Although it cannot be compared with blockbuster movies like "So Young", compared to the production cost of 30 million, this drama is sure to make a lot of money.

In comparison, the "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" was completely unsuccessful.

This week, the film only earned more than 2600 million yuan at the box office, with a total box office of 2.6 million yuan. The single-day box office was less than 50 yuan, and the theater screening schedule was less than 5%.

Even so, the attendance rate was almost less than 40%.

People in the industry have a hunch that the movie will be taken off the screen in the next few days.

However, Ning Hao's "No Man's Land", although its screening schedule was squeezed a lot, still performed well.

In just one week, the box office grossed nearly 8000 million. Now, after 17 days of release, the total box office has approached the million mark.

At the same time, the Shanghai Film Festival also came to an end.

But no one expected that Guo Jingming would beat many professional directors and win the Best New Director award in the Film Channel Media Awards.

That's fine, after all, in a non-major unit of the film festival, promoting newcomers is barely acceptable.

But the key thing is that Yang Mi, Guo Biting, Guo Caijie and others actually defeated Feng Yuanzheng, Qin Hailu, Liu Ye, Shen Aojun and other acting masters, and let "Tiny Times" win the Best Film Award in this unit module!

This is undoubtedly the biggest joke in the eyes of the entire circle.

You know, even if the Shanghai Film Festival is in decline, it is still an international A-class film festival. Such operations are simply lowering the level of the film festival.

At this moment, the Internet and the media are full of ridicule.

“The Golden Goblet Award in the main competition unit has always been given to unknown foreign films, and now even other units are being messed up. The Shanghai Film Festival is completely hopeless.”

"The world's most rubbish international A-level film festival, what a shame!"

"Hehe, it's all just social etiquette. Guo Jingming has had close ties with the cultural circle since his debut, so they have to support their own people."

"."

Wei Jin ignored the online commotion and the filming of "Star Luck" continued.

The scenes in these few days are very "sweet" because the male protagonist doesn't have much time left, and the two begin to cherish every day they are together.

At this moment, the camera shows a picture like this:
Under the golden sunset, the heroine wearing a tracheotomy tube pushes a wheelchair, while the hero wearing a hat sits on it.

The two talked and laughed, and gradually walked away in the sunset.
"Brother, next up is your final scene, how about we have a dinner tonight?"

Lu Yang's joke caused the crew to burst into laughter.

"Sure, let's celebrate tonight by getting drunk."

"Forehead"

Wei Jin's words caused a direct critical hit. Lu Yang was instantly filled with the fear he had when he crawled under the table, and he quickly shook his head.

"I think filming is more important. Let's wait until the filming is finished before thinking about eating or anything like that."

"Hahaha"

Lu Yang's funny appearance once again caused laughter, but this did not affect the operation of the crew.

Half an hour later, the camera was turned on again, and this time it was a shot of Wei Jin lying on the hospital bed and being rescued.

"Kidney function rapidly fails, heart and lung function rapidly fails."

“Adrenaline.”

"Defibrillator"

"Drip~~~~"

"The rescue was ineffective. We tried our best."

"Ka, this one passed."

As Lu Yang gave the order, many people in the crew gathered around Wei Jin's bed.

In particular, Shu Chang, who came specially to watch the show, was holding a cup of milk tea with a serious expression, as if he was paying homage to a deceased person.

"Get lost, I'm not really dead"

"Hahaha, congratulations to President Wei for wrapping up the filming!"

"Congratulations to President Wei for wrapping up the filming!"
