During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 575: Incomparable Beauty Divide Investment
Wei Jin didn't expect that just after sleeping with Liu Yifei, he would see her on the hot search list.

It wasn't because the sex scene between the two was exposed, but because Yu Zheng used it to get on the hot search list.

Ever since he adapted "Swordsman", Yu Zheng seemed to have found the secret code to traffic and started tinkering with "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

This matter is not new. After all, the hype started more than a month ago.

But no one expected that the casting results and makeup photos announced by this guy caught the film and television industry off guard, and netizens were even more stunned.

In the photo, Michelle Chen is wearing a white and blue ancient costume with two white ribbons in her hair. Her naturally plump baby face makes her look fat.

"Is this Xiao Long Nu or Nezha?"

"Why do I feel like after Yang Guo's arm is broken, he won't be able to hold this Little Dragon Girl?"

"What little dragon girl? These are steamed dumplings, right? The food in the Tomb Clan is too good, isn't it?"

"No, in the original novel, Xiao Long Nu was only 16 or 17 years old. Chen Yanxi is almost 30 years old, right? Is Yu Zheng blind?"

"Zhang Xinyu's Li Mochou is pretty good, quite cool and beautiful."

"How did Michelle Chen have the nerve to take this role?"

There was overwhelming ridicule online, with netizens even posting photos of Li Ruotong and Liu Yifei dressed as Little Dragon Girl under Yu Zheng Studio's Weibo, directly slapping him in the face.

Even Zhang Jizhong couldn't help but come out and make a sarcastic remark.

"Little Dragon Girl sleeps on a rope, so the one chosen by Yu Zheng will probably have to sleep on an iron chain? I'm curious, how will the subsequent agile and graceful fighting scenes be shot?"

Facing the ridicule from the entire network, Yu Zheng was completely unfazed and responded directly from his personal account:

"I chose Xiao Long Nu and participated in the design of her look. I am very satisfied with her. I firmly believe that this version of Xiao Long Nu can definitely match the previous ones, or even surpass them. Time will prove everything."

Wow, as soon as this was said, the movie "The Return of the Condor Heroes" became popular before it was even filmed, and a large number of netizens have begun to boycott it.

"Brother, who do you think is prettier, my Little Dragon Girl or Li Ruotong's?"

After watching the fun online, Liu Yifei sent a fatal question.

"Of course it's you. Your Little Dragon Girl costume is absolutely the most beautiful in the world."

Wei Jin held the girl's plain but still extraordinary face in his hands and answered sincerely.

"Oh, you mean, my other characters' looks aren't the most beautiful?"

"Ahem, what are you saying? Of course the others are beautiful too."

After saying that, Wei Jin did not give the girl a chance to continue asking questions. He directly covered her red lips, and his big hands began to wander over the hot and smooth body under the thin quilt.

Soon, the house was filled with the sound of morning exercise songs.
In the film market, another blockbuster from more than a decade ago was released - "Jurassic Park 3D".

The movie performed very strongly at the box office, raking in over 1.26 million on the first day. After three days, the box office exceeded million, closing at million.

With the release of "Jurassic Park 3D", the days of domestic films have become difficult.

The first to be affected is "Time Traveler".

The single-day box office was halved from over 10 million to 6 or 7 million. At the end of the new week, the box office revenue was less than 80 million.

However, even so, the total box office of "Time Traveler" reached 5.79 million, which can be said to be a standout.

The entire film industry is lamenting that the films produced by Shanhe Media are still as unreasonable as ever.

However, your performance is so stable that it makes other producers look like losers.

Wei Jin had no time to care about the bitterness in the industry, so he called Guo Fan.

"There's still more than a week left, and breaking 6 million is a sure thing, but if you want to surpass Lu Yang, you'll have to work harder."

Guo Fan understood what Wei Jin meant. Although offline promotion was not possible, online promotion could still be continued.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wei. I have already informed Bai Yu and the others. The actors are even more enthusiastic than me, haha."

"Well, that's the truth."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin paid attention to the situation of other movies.

How should I put it? It's really horrible.

That movie "Tiny Times 2" was a complete flop.

It has been released for 16 days and the total box office has just closed at 2.56 million, while the single-day box office has fallen below 10.

Although the movie will definitely make money, it seems a bit ridiculous compared to the 5 million yuan target that Guo Xiaosi had loudly announced before the release of the film. It is still nearly million yuan short of the first one.

However, the movie "One Night Surprise" performed quite well. In just half a month, the box office quietly broke through the 1.17 million yuan mark and closed at million yuan.

Although the single-day box office has fallen below one million, there will definitely be no problem in making money.

Although Lin Chaoxian's "SPL" received good reviews, it ultimately failed to make much of a splash.

It has been released for a week, and the box office has not yet crossed the 100 million yuan mark, but the single-day box office has already fallen below the 10 million yuan mark.

There is no hope of making back the investment, now it all depends on whether we can lose less in the end.

Speaking of which, Wei Jin felt a little sorry for Fatty Yu from Bernardo.

From last year's "The Guillotines", to "The Great Shanghai", and now "SPL", almost every movie has been losing money.

His luck is almost comparable to that of Boss Ying Huangyang in the past two years.

"Boss, the front desk notified us that Mr. Fiber Optic Wang has arrived."

The voice of the young assistant Huang Mengying pulled Wei Jin back from the computer screen.

"Oh? Please ask him to come to the small conference room. I'll follow him."

The last time the shares of "No One 2" were distributed, Wang Changtian was the first to arrive, and he was the first again this time.

But it is understandable. After all, the Dongcheng District where the optical fiber is located is only two or three kilometers away from Shanhe Media. Lao Wang can just take a walk over there.

Before the meeting started, Wei Jin and Lao Wang drank tea and chatted in the small conference room.

"Brother, this year's Golden Rooster is really shabby."

Wang Changtian glanced at the latest list of nominees and expressed his emotion.

"Haha, that's normal. Of the three major Chinese film awards, only the Golden Horse Awards still have a little credibility. The Golden Rooster and Golden Image Awards have become mere idiots. Big directors are not stupid."

Wei Jin sarcastically said without hesitation that the weight of the Golden Rooster can be seen by looking at the nomination list.

Apart from Feng Dapao's "1942" and Chen Kexin's "Chinese Partners", there are almost no other works worth mentioning.

As for the directors who signed up, there are even fewer. Even Zhao Yanzi is considered a big name among them, which is an example.

"Brother, I heard they invited you before?"

"Brother, what you said is so new. Which year have you not been invited? I am too lazy to care."

In fact, this year's Golden Rooster Award not only invited Wei Jin, but also Zhang Yimou was lobbied.

However, since In the Dust had already won the Cannes Jury Prize, Zhang Yimou was afraid of having to serve as a sedan chair for others, so he ended up signing up for the Golden Horse Awards.

After all, at this stage, the Golden Horse Awards have done a very good job, at least on the surface.

None of the works directed by the company participated in the competition.

Speaking of which, this bunch of old stubborn people are really deeply rooted. The old guy that Ning Hao mentioned, although he has retired, is still active on the list of judges for major awards.

If Wei Jin wants to completely suppress these people, he really has to establish new awards.

The reason why Xiying and Shanghai Film Studio were invited this time was that Wei Jin was laying the groundwork for what was to come.

The notice was given at 10:30, but by 10 o'clock, several investors had basically arrived one after another.

On the China Film Group side, Han Sanping and La Peikang came together, not because they valued the project, but because La Peikang would definitely follow up on the project. But when he saw Ren Zhonglun of Shanghai Film Group and Deng Dong of Xi'an Film Group, La Peikang showed a surprised expression on his face. With two new parties joining, how much share could China Film Group still get?

Han Sanping, on the other hand, was calm and composed after taking his seat. He believed that Wei Jin would not embarrass him.

With the arrival of Director Jindun Zhong, everyone on the scene showed an expression of "as expected". There must be external factors that could make those people from the Film Bureau bow their heads.

"Boss Wei, can we get started?"

Director Jindun Zhong asked, those present were all group bosses or senior executives who had free time, but he did not.

There are a lot of things to do in Jindun, but the manpower is limited, and he has to rush back later.

"Okay, send the information down."

After Wei Jin spoke, Huang Mengying immediately sent the prepared materials to the other six producers.

"Everyone, this is the detailed budget of Operation Mekong, 2.4 million."

At this point, Wei Jin looked at Director Zhong of Golden Shield and said, "Director Zhong, I know Golden Shield has very high requirements for accounts and control of funds. This budget is very detailed. You can take it back and put it directly into the archives."

"Yes, it is indeed very detailed. Thank you, Mr. Wei. It saves us a lot of trouble."

Director Zhong flipped through the information in his hand, expressed his approval, and accepted Wei Jin's goodwill.

"Haha, it's just a little effort."

Wei Jin responded with a smile and continued, "The early preparations for the project are already underway. I plan to start casting after the Venice Film Festival. The official start time is expected to be after the National Day. The overall shooting period is roughly within two months."

"Well, the arrangement is very good. It would be good to start filming after the National Day. Good."

Ren Zhonglun's sudden praise made people in the conference room feel a little puzzled, but La Peikang always felt as if these words were spoken to him.

"Now let's talk about the share."

As soon as Wei Jin finished speaking, the spirits of everyone present were immediately lifted.

"Director Zhong, as we agreed before, Golden Shield's 10% will remain unchanged. You don't have to worry about the funding. It will go through the project's special fund account."

"no problem."

Listening to the conversation between Wei Jin and Director Zhong, the others had no objections.

As a direct unit of the GA department, Golden Shield is an indispensable part of the entire project. 10% is not excessive. They are more concerned about how much share they can get.

Wei Jin did not keep anyone in suspense and went straight to the point, stating his plan.

"China Film Group takes 20%, and the other four companies each take 10%. What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw some people in the conference room were happy, some were puzzled, and some were frowning.

The one who was delighted was naturally Xiying's president Deng. He had thought that among the seven major producers, Xiying would only need a 7% share, but he did not expect that it would have the same share as Golden Shield, Fiber Optic, and Wanda.

Wang Changtian and Ye Ning were puzzled. It was not that they thought the share was too small, but they still did not understand the purpose of bringing in Xiying and Shanghai Film Group.

The one who frowned was La Peikang. He thought that for Han Sanping's last project before his retirement, China Film Corporation's share would not be less than 20%, but he didn't expect it to be only %.

Only Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun showed no change in their expressions.

The former is familiar with the Wei and Jin style of doing things, and if you lose here, there will always be a place to make up for it.

The latter doesn't care about the share of this project at all. He cares more about whether a fixed form of cooperation can be formed in the future.

Taking in everyone's reactions, Wei Jin added calmly, "Everyone, there is no premium for this project, and everyone will enjoy all the copyright benefits."

The reason why there was no premium was that Wei and Jin did not want to turn a good thing into a bad thing.

Because it is definitely impossible for Golden Shield to be priced at a premium, it would be a bit too much if we don’t treat everyone equally.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the atmosphere at the scene became much better.

"Okay, let's do it the way President Wei does."

"Well, China Film Academy has no objection."

"Same with Wanda."

Ren Zhonglun was the first to express his opinion, and the others followed suit.

The current distribution method has taken both the substance and appearance into consideration. If we were to be more demanding, we would be wasting our favor.

After the shares are finalized, the subsequent contracts can be handed over to the subordinates, and Director Zhong of Golden Shield leaves first.

Ren Zhonglun of Shanghai Film Studio and Deng Dong of Xi'an Film Studio exchanged a few words with Wei Jin and did not stay long. After all, they could not poach employees in front of several Chinese film companies.

Wei Jin did exchange a few words with the two when they left, but it was just to maintain the relationship and stop there. After all, there was still a long way to go.

After these three families left, Wei Jin looked at the remaining people.

"Boss Han, Boss La, Brother Wang, Boss Ye, what we just had was just an appetizer. We'll have to stay for a big project."

"Oh? A big project?"

Several people looked at each other, confused. Wei Jin did not keep them in suspense and revealed the entire project of "Interstellar".

After hearing this, Han Sanping looked as if it was justified, while La Peikang was completely shocked.

"Boss Wei, are you talking about the $1.7 million co-production? Your script? Nolan directing? Warner and Summit Entertainment are coming over to negotiate in a few days?"

A series of questions came one after another, louder and louder. It was obvious that the newly appointed chairman of China Film Group Corporation was indeed surprised.

"Well, Mr. La, calm down."

"."

Stay calm. La Peikang couldn't stay calm at all.

If he had any opinions about the distribution of "Operation Mekong" just now, he now has no ideas at all.

What a joke, a co-production worth 1.7 million US dollars, and they gave me such a big gift right after I took office, what else do I want?

"Brother, do you mean that fiber optics can also participate this time?"

The only one who was even more excited than La Peikang was Wang Changtian. Ever since Wei Jin laid out the story in "The Cycle of Killing", he had never had such thoughts again.

I never thought that Wei Jin would be willing to bring fiber optic cables this time.

However, Lao Wang's good mood did not last for a few seconds, and he saw Wei Jin shaking his head:

"Brother, Fiber Optic cannot be a producer. I can only say that I can participate in domestic distribution."

Wei Jin is telling the truth. Fiber Optic is definitely not qualified to participate in such a top project, but it can still help in terms of publicity resources.

"."

Damn, it was all in vain. Wang Changtian looked disgusted, but soon smiled again.

Even the distribution work is a big piece of cake for optical fiber.

Especially for such a top-level co-production project, at least the stock price will definitely increase.

"Boss Wei, how much share can we get this time?"

Wanda has participated in several co-productions worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but Ye Ning was not that surprised. He was more concerned about the share.

But before Wei Jin opened his mouth to explain, Han Sanping had already seen through the key to the matter.

"Boss Ye, Warner is so eager, our share will definitely not be less than 50%."

Wei Jin nodded and agreed, "Yes, Director Han has a keen eye, that's true. However, the extent to which the Chinese side can participate in this project depends on the progress of the negotiations. Everyone, get ready, we'll know the outcome next week."

"it is good."
