During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 555: Gradually Understanding Wei Jin's Flirtatiousness
Jinling National Forest Park.

"Wolf Warrior" is about to start filming. The scene is covered with red tables and the crew has prepared offerings such as incense burners, pig heads, and fruits.

The tradition of the opening ceremony is mainly for peace of mind.

At this moment, Wu Jing, the protagonist of today, felt in an indescribable mood as he recalled everything that had happened in the past.

He had been in Hong Kong for many years, but the pay was not high at that time. The several million he had saved with great difficulty was all lost in the movie "Wolf Tooth".

This is his second movie, with a production cost of 80 million. His hands, which have been practicing martial arts for a long time, could not help but tremble.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Xie Nan, who was standing by, knew that he didn't sleep much last night, so he patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Don't worry, the crew's car has been on the way back for half an hour, so they're probably on their way back. Wait a little longer."

"Well, wait a little longer."

Not only Wu Jing was anxiously waiting, the media at the scene were also waiting for Wei Jin to appear.

To put it bluntly, both the film industry and the media are not optimistic about Wu Jing's film, which he directed and starred in.

Because looking at the current situation in the country, all military-themed movies on the market, without exception, are losing money at the box office.

Therefore, most of the media reporters today came here for the reputation of Shanhe Media.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long. After about ten minutes, they saw an SUV parked and the reporters immediately raised their cameras.

When seeing Wei Jin and Gao Yuanyuan getting off the car, many media became excited. Today's wait was not in vain. Isn't this a sure headline?

"Mr. Wei, Yuanyuan."

Compared to Wu Jing, Xie Nan's attitude towards others was obviously more gentle and he gave Gao Yuanyuan a hug very warmly.

"Boss Wei, you're finally here. I finally feel relieved. Haha."

"Oh, this is not like Comrade Leng Feng, the temperament needs to be just right, haha"

Wei Jin greeted Wu Jing with a smile, and took a look at the crew's start-up scene.

How should I put it, it was a little more desolate than I had imagined. There were very few people from the circle who came to show their support, and almost all of the people who came were Guangfa and Xie Nan's connections in the circle.

At present, it seems that Wolf Warrior Wu Jing's status and influence in the film and television industry are still a little lacking.

"Ahem, Mr. Wei, it's really an unfortunate coincidence today. Brother Jun is busy promoting Like Sparks Like Butterflies, Brother Hua's Blind Detective is about to be released, and Xiao Ming's The Legend of Yue Fei is also being promoted."

As if he had seen through Wei Jin's thoughts, Wu Jing forcibly saved some respect and specifically mentioned a few big names who had a good relationship with him to explain.

"It's okay, it's just the start of filming. When it comes to the premiere, we can do it on a bigger scale."

Wei Jin patted Wu Jing on the shoulder and greeted several members of the crew without saying anything else.

Wei Jin was very familiar with the leading female role, Yu Nan, but it was the first time he saw the veteran actor Ni Dahong, who played the villain.

His image on the screen is so classic, whether it is Sima Yi in "The New Three Kingdoms" or Su Daqiang later, they are all quite vivid.

Wei Jin thought that there might be a chance for them to cooperate.

After a brief greeting, the opening ceremony of "Wolf Warrior" officially began.

Wei Jin was somewhat fortunate that Da Meiyu's weight loss efforts during this period were very effective, so he was able to fool the media interviews.

He himself was asked a lot of questions about why he wanted to invest in movies.

"I think this kind of movie can let the audience understand the real purpose of modern warfare and special operations, which is very educational. Director Wu Jing is very persistent, and I am willing to support his dream."

Wu Jing was so moved by these words that he almost burst into tears on the spot.

More than an hour later, the ceremony ended and the media reporters left one after another.

Wu Jing identified the scenes to be filmed today based on the production schedule of the production team and discussed the scenes with several actors who needed to appear on camera.

Wei Jin had been watching from the side until the first shot was finished. Then he left the scene with Da Meiyuan and walked into the forest park accompanied by Xie Nan and others.

Although it was already the end of June, the forest was full of green trees and it was not too hot and stuffy, so it felt pretty good.

At the same time, related reports have already appeared on major portals.

"The military action film "Wolf Warrior", jointly produced by Shanhe Media and Dengfeng International, directed and acted by Wu Jing, and joined by powerful actors such as Yu Nan and Ni Dahong, held its opening ceremony in Jinling today, and the film officially started shooting!"

"The famous director Wei Jin attended the opening ceremony as an investor. Gao Yuanyuan, a popular actress who has not been seen for a long time, accompanied him. The two's relationship is suspected to be exposed."

"Wei Jin said frankly that movies are very meaningful and dreams need support!"

However, it was not as the media reporters wished, and the news of Wei Jin and Da Meiyuan going out together did not make headlines.

Because of a piece of news from across the ocean, the entire entertainment industry was shocked.

Murdoch, the media tycoon of News Corporation, filed for divorce from Ms. Deng.

Normally, the news of a foreign couple's divorce would not cause such a sensation, but the wealth involved in this divorce case is too huge.

When he divorced his ex-wife, he signed a divorce agreement to pay 17 billion US dollars, which resulted in a lot of gold coins.

This time, according to statistics from Hollywood media, Ms. Deng may get more than 10 billion US dollars in wealth.

At this moment, the news hit the headlines directly, and countless netizens were discussing it.

"There is one less channel for mainland actresses to go overseas, and Sister Lianhua's subsequent resources are worrying."

"Ms. Deng's sudden wealth is an inspirational legend of a mistress rising to power, and is worthy of emulation by countless female compatriots!"

"After 14 years of marriage, they made a profit of 10 billion US dollars, which is an average of more than 7000 million per year. What a great business!"

"Find an older one when you are young, and then find a younger one when you are financially independent"

The Internet is flooded with all kinds of messed-up remarks, which are really destructive to one's worldview, but also very realistic.

Wei Jin glanced at her a few times and then didn't pay much attention to her. After all, he had no connection with Ms. Deng.

Da Meiyuan was a little curious and kept asking Wei Jin who had more wealth, him or Mercado.

"According to media estimates, Murdoch's net worth is around 100-150 billion US dollars, which is still a little less than mine."

Wei Jin's slightly Versailles tone made Da Meiyuan even more curious.

"So how much money do you have?"

"Um, this, Sister Yuanyuan, you are making things difficult for me."

Wei Jin certainly would not doubt that Da Meiyuan wanted to make a fortune from gold coins. After all, the equity he transferred to her and her son in North America was worth 6-7 million US dollars.

Including the portion previously held by Zeng Li, the value has increased to nearly 10 billion US dollars over the years.

If you ask him to calculate his wealth, it would be difficult for Wei Jin to give an intuitive answer.

"About four, five, six, seven or eight Murdoes?"

Even though Tycoon Murdoch had become a unit of measurement, Big American Dollar didn't find it funny at all, as she couldn't do the math in her head anymore.

At this moment, Da Meiyuan suddenly felt that it was not hard to understand why this bastard man was so fickle.
In the evening, Wei Jin did not have dinner with the "Wolf Warrior" crew, but prepared to take Gao Yuanyuan to meet with Director Zhou of the Jiangsu Provincial TV Station.

There is no way. Since the 07 "Zhu Xian", Shanhe Media has been cooperating with Jiangsu TV Station. Over the past six years, the two sides have had a very pleasant cooperation in the fields of TV dramas and variety shows.

They even gave me face and withdrew their investment in "Nanjing".

This time, he finally came to someone else's territory, and it was hard for Wei Jin to refuse the invitation. Wu Jing also expressed his understanding, saying that they would have a good reunion in Beijing after the filming of the movie was completed.

Just looking at the backs of Wei Jin and Gao Yuanyuan leaving, Wu Jing felt a little emotional.

"Boss Wei is so nice, but there is one bad thing about him: he is too popular with girls."

"Are you envious?"

Xie Nan suddenly asked a soul-searching question.

"Of course, that's impossible."

Wu Jing was indeed a martial artist, and he vaguely sensed the murderous intent, but he reacted very quickly, with loyalty written all over his baby face.

"Nannan, you know me. My heart is small and can only accommodate you."

"Humph, virtue."

Xie Nan rolled her eyes, but the upward curve of her mouth really betrayed her mood at the moment.

On the other side, Wei Jin brought Da Meiyuan to a private restaurant with a very retro decoration, and saw that several people from Su Provincial TV had arrived.

"Director Zhou, everyone, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for so long."

"Haha, you're too polite, Brother Wei. We just arrived a while ago. It's rare for you to come here. You must try our Huaiyang cuisine today."

Director Zhou greeted with a smile, then looked at Gao Yuanyuan and made a rare joke: "Brother Wei, you are such a perfect match."

Da Meiyu smiled gently, feeling sweet inside.

These are the words she likes to hear the most, even more than words praising herself.

There were several other people at the table, either deputy directors or heads of various departments.

The people Da Meiyuan knew were the mainstays of the Jiangsu TV station, host Li Hao and his wife Guo Xiaomin, and these people were all quite polite to her.

After three rounds of drinks, the head of the variety show department of the Jiangsu TV station brought up a topic.

"Mr. Wei, you are an expert in movies. We have an idea. Can you give us some advice?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Jin put down his chopsticks and listened attentively, "Director Xu, please speak."

"It's like this, the ratings for this season of Where Are We Going, Dad? are pretty good, and the audience base is also very large, but it will take too long to air the next season.

We are thinking of releasing a special, which will satisfy the audience’s needs and warm up for the second season. What do you think?”

"."

Wei Jin fell silent after hearing this. He didn't expect that the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Su Provincial Governor, would also try this trick.

What the hell is this special? Isn’t it just about making a big movie to gain fans?

"Brother Wei, just tell me what you want to say. There's no need to be too cautious about our relationship."

Perhaps because he saw Wei Jin didn't say anything, Director Zhou laid the groundwork with a sentence.

"Tai Zhou, Director Xu, variety shows are indeed very popular, but we have to consider that the experience of paying to watch movies and free variety shows is completely different for the audience."

After careful consideration, Wei Jin expressed his thoughts.

The Jiangsu Provincial TV station had no experience in film production, and he could easily imagine how bad this film would be.

This practice of harvesting fans is actually overdrawing the audience's enthusiasm. It may make money at the box office, but it has too much impact on the variety show itself.

You know, Shanhe Media and Jiangsu TV signed a ratings agreement. Wei Jin would definitely not agree to this practice of killing the goose that lays the eggs.

As for letting Shanhe Media lead such a film project, that's even more ridiculous. Is it because the screenwriter department doesn't have enough scripts? Why do they have to do this?
Previously, Shanghai TV and Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV had also considered "The Voice of China" and "Running Man", but Wei Jin also refused.

"Okay, Brother Wei is an expert in this area, so let's not talk about it."

Seeing Wei Jin's firm attitude, Director Zhou did not talk much about this topic and instead talked about the "Extreme Challenge" project.

What he meant was that he really wanted to get this outdoor variety show, which has not yet been launched.

Wei Jin did not make a clear statement on this, but only said that under the same conditions, priority would be given.

Although TV stations are usually the stronger party, Wei Jin's words seem very confident given the reputation that Shanhe Media has accumulated over the years.

No one in the Su Provincial TV station, including Director Zhou, had any objection. After all, a variety show with a production cost of over 100 million yuan could not be decided in just a few words. It was already good enough to get the priority promised by Wei Jin himself.

It was a gathering where both the host and the guests had a great time.

"Xiao Jin, why do I feel that the Su Provincial Party Committee is a little anxious? Isn't this detrimental to the subsequent negotiations?"

After returning to the hotel, Sister Yuanyuan, who had drunk a little wine, had a slightly red face and asked curiously.

"Well, they are indeed a little anxious, but this is also related to the situation in their station."

Wei Jin felt a little emotional, then held the beauty in his arms, playing with her proud snow-white cheeks while telling her the twists and turns of the matter.

As the economy continues to improve, advertising, sponsorship, etc. have frequently set sky-high price records, but this has also led to increasingly fierce competition among TV stations.

At the beginning of the year, Jiangsu TV Station, with the outstanding performance of "Where Are We Going, Dad?", surpassed Mango TV Station and Shanghai TV Station and became the number one local satellite TV station in the country, with unparalleled momentum.

Immediately afterwards, Jiangsu TV launched the copyright of "Fearless in the Face of Danger" imported from Germany, and produced the Chinese version of "Star Diving Cube" to take over "Where Are We Going, Dad", in an attempt to maintain the ranking.

And the result was indeed good. Despite the competition with "China Star Jump" on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV next door, "Water Cube" still created a peak of over 2 and an impressive average viewership of 1.86.

After all, seeing female stars standing on a high platform with no makeup on, trembling hands and feet, and jumping in panic can indeed give the audience a certain sense of curiosity.

There are also many discussions about it online, and its popularity is second only to "Flowers and Youth".

Everyone in Su Province TV was delighted. With such an achievement, it could definitely become another signboard of the TV station.

This wave of operations also made the Jiangsu Provincial TV station realize that there is great potential in self-produced variety shows, so they did not even participate in the previous negotiations for "Sisters Over Flowers".

Unfortunately, the Jiangsu TV station has very bad luck.

The "Star Jump" on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV next door was directly stopped by the General Administration of Radio, Film and Television on the grounds that it was too dangerous and was not allowed to be produced or broadcasted because a star's assistant drowned during the recording process.

The Jiangsu TV station's "Water Cube" also suffered an unexpected disaster and was cancelled after the first season.

The two programs that were originally planned to continue are also under re-evaluation and will not be launched for the time being.

Seeing that there are no good variety shows in the second half of the year, it would be strange if Jiangsu Provincial TV station was not anxious.

"That's it"

Gao Yuanyuan nodded thoughtfully, then put the matter behind her, biting her red lips lightly and sending a signal.

"Xiao Jin, I thought about it."

In fact, she had already wanted it very much in the afternoon. Plus, she had drunk some wine in the evening and had been teased by the man for a long time, so she could no longer hold back.

"Okay, Sister Yuanyuan, I'm happy to serve you."

After saying that, Wei Jin kissed Da Meiyuan's attractive red lips, his hands flying up and down skillfully.

As the obstacles fell one by one on the ground, Wei Jin and Da Meiyuan merged into one under the moonlight.

This night, the midsummer breeze in the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties was so noisy.
