During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 577: Birthday Party Encountered a Top-notch Person

In a villa in the capital, a warm family dinner is taking place.

Today is Liu Yifei's 26th birthday. The occasion was still very simple, with only Wei Jin, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, and Shu Chang coming to eat and drink for free.

"Boss Wei, Venice is about to open, aren't you going there in advance?"

Shu Chang ate the twice-cooked pork while pouting and asking, not acting like a lady at all.

"Well, I won't go this time. I'll go there when the premiere comes."

Wei Jin replied that he had been to Venice for two consecutive years and there was no novelty at all. It was too early and it was really boring.

Of course, there is another reason. He has to set off with his teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang. After all, "The Return" is still being filmed, and you can't let Chen Daoming just take ten days off, right?

As for public relations and copyright matters, the company will naturally have dedicated people to take charge of them.

"Oh, so that's it. I wish Boss Wei a grand slam."

Shu Chang nodded without asking any more questions, and turned to chat with Liu Yifei about the Class 02 group.

"Yifei, are you going to Lao Zhu's place?"

"You should go. It's such a big deal. Why don't you go?"

"It's hard to say right now. He's scheduled for mid-November. I think he'll be participating in the TV series promotions by then, so he may not be able to make time."

Wei Jin also knew what the two girls were talking about.

Speaking of which, people in the entertainment industry tend to get married quite late, especially the more famous they are.

But no one would have thought that Zhu Yawen, a student of the Acting Department of Beijing Film Academy in 02, actually got the marriage certificate without any announcement.

I heard that the girl is an actress from the Central Academy of Drama, and she is one year older than him.

However, the wedding, which was originally scheduled for June this year, was postponed due to the filming of "Red Sorghum".

However, when Wei Jin heard Shu Chang talking about the TV series, he raised his eyebrows.

"Is it "Magic Phone 2" or "Beauty of War"? "

"'Beauty of War' and 'Magic Phone 2' will be shown in February next year."

"Tsk tsk. It's been almost three years since you started filming and it's airing. Is your Silly Girl brand phone still usable now?"

"Uh uh uh~~~Brother, you are too mean."

Liu Yifei laughed out loud like a goose, while Shu Chang rolled his eyes at Wei Jin.

Liu Xiaoli, who was standing by, looked at the scene with a smile on her face.
After the delicious dinner, Wei Jin accompanied Liu Yifei to blow out the candles and presented her with a gift he had prepared - a pair of earrings.

The style is slightly different from Jing Tian's, but it looks equally good on Liu Yifei's crystal earlobes.

The ceremony was over and Shu Chang said goodbye and left. Wei Jin looked at his mother-in-law, who still had charm, and remembered something.

"Auntie, has Mr. Chen contacted you recently?"

"No, what's wrong?" Liu Xiaoli was a little confused.

"Oh, nothing, I'm just asking."

Hearing this, Wei Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Jin only learned about the follow-up of Chen Jinfei's project when chatting with Han Sanping a few days ago.

In addition to finding the optical fiber, most of the production companies in the industry had searched everywhere, and China Film was no exception.

Unfortunately, there are no fools in the circle, and they all refused one by one.

And I don't know who spread the word that Wei Jin judged it to be a terrible movie. Not only did he not invest, he also refused to let Liu Yifei star in it.

Wei Jin was also worried that Chen Jinfei would not be able to distinguish between the big and small Wang, and would blame Liu Xiaoli for the project's failure.

But now it seems that this person still has a clear mind.

"Well, that's fine, Auntie. Yifei and I will go upstairs first. You should also go to bed early."

In the bedroom, Liu Yifei and Wei Jin were kissing passionately.

Liu Yifei, who is 26 years old this year, has a childish face but her body is becoming more and more mature.

In other words, the demand in certain areas is becoming increasingly strong.

At this time, Wei Jin of course responded enthusiastically. He greedily sucked the beauty's red lips while soothing the girl's delicate body with his hands.

The weather in Beijing at the end of August was very hot, so the girl was wearing very cool clothes at home today, a pink high-waisted T-shirt on the upper body and a pair of white sports shorts on the lower body.

Dressed like this, he obviously had no resistance to the invasion of Wei Jin. He just casually flipped his hands a few times, and the clothes quickly left the place they were supposed to protect.

Thanks to long-term development and training, Liu Yifei's body is extremely sensitive and she was quickly defeated by Wei Jin's unique kung fu.

Her pair of long, white legs seemed to have no strength at all, and her whole body collapsed in his arms.

After a few minutes of wet kissing, the girl was panting, her eyes moving, and she actively pushed Wei Jin to the big bed behind her. Then she buried her head, gently opened her red lips, and kissed him.

"Oh~~~"

Since it was her birthday, Wei Jin felt that he couldn't let the girl work alone, so he patted her pretty face and said softly:

"Yifei, turn around."

Upon hearing this, the girl turned 180 degrees, and a beautiful scene appeared before Wei Jin's eyes.

So he slowly let go of Wei Jin and sat down at the card table with a condescending attitude.

"Oh~~~"

Tonight's game of cards officially begins.
The 70th Venice Film Festival has opened. Despite being an important year for the th anniversary, this year's film festival is unusually dim.

However, for Wei Jin, this is a good thing, as it means that the shortlisted films do not have a particularly great influence, and their hope of achieving a Grand Slam has been further improved.

At the same time, the Tokyo International Film Festival also officially announced the news.

“According to foreign media reports, the Tokyo International Film Festival Organizing Committee announced:
The 10th Tokyo International Film Festival, which will be held on October 17, will be chaired by Chen Kaige, the Chinese Golden Palm director who has won the Tokyo International Film Festival's Lifetime Achievement Award 'Akira Kurosawa Award', as the chairman of the main competition unit jury.

After receiving an official response from Chen Shishi's company, media reporters interviewed Chen Shishi, who directly stated:
“No matter what era, truly excellent films are rare. I am very much looking forward to encountering excellent works.”

Wei Jin received a call from Wang Changtian, which contained some gossip.

"Brother, I heard that you were invited by him to participate in the competition with "Star Luck"?"

"Yes, that's what happened. What's the matter?"

Wei Jin was not surprised at all that Lao Wang knew this. After all, the relationship between Xinli's Cao Huayi and the poet Chen and his wife was very good.

"Poet Chen is really adaptable, haha." Wang Changtian began to tease him across the phone. He still clearly remembered Poet Chen's disdainful attitude towards "Painted Skin".

"Hey, it's not a life-and-death feud, and I guess it was Chen Hong who persuaded him to do this."

As for Chen Hong's thoughts, Wei Jin could probably guess them.

The entertainment industry is becoming more and more profitable nowadays. Chen Hong’s son is already in his teens, so it’s time for him to pave the way.

"By the way, brother, you're not calling just to ask about this, are you?"

"Oh, that's not the case. Two things. The filming of "My Deskmate" has ended. Lin Yufen said she would use the company's account to pay her. I'm telling you.

In addition, Deng Chao has started the early preparations, and the schedules of several actors in your company need to be coordinated."

"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange it."

As September approached, in the film market, "Time Travelers" reaped the box office dividends of the last weekend and was taken off the screen, with the final box office revenue reported at 9 million yuan.

Just as Wei Jin said at the premiere of "Time Traveler", this movie became the box office champion in August, including imported films.

According to media statistics, the summer box office since late June has totaled nearly 6 billion yuan so far, with an average daily box office of around 60 million yuan.

People in the industry have a hunch that this year's domestic film market may once again set a new record and break the 30 billion mark.

But looking back at the market conditions in the past two months, we will find a very ironic phenomenon.

Among the top ten domestic films at the box office, there are three super bad movies: "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", "Tiny Times" and "Tiny Times 2". It's simply a joke.

In the past two days, the bureau has begun to convene filmmakers, experts and scholars in the industry to analyze this situation. We must not allow bad films to hinder the rapid development of the film market.

In any case, Wei Jin did not attend the meeting. No matter how many times this kind of meeting was held, it would not solve the problem.

At the same time, domestic films in September replaced August's films and became a hot topic in film and television information.

"Hidden in the Dust" released on the 6th, "A City" adapted and filmed by Han Han, released on the 18th, and "Big Shot" released at the end of the month are undoubtedly the most eye-catching ones.

All publicity has been launched, trying every means to attract the audience's attention.

At this time, Guo Xiaosi once again announced the news of the sequel of "Tiny Times" to the outside world.

"Tiny Times 3 and 4 will be performed by the original cast and are expected to start filming in December."

When the news came out, it shocked the circle again, and there were all kinds of ridicule on the Internet.

"There has never been a series that was shot so quickly, one after another. Guo Xiaosi is really amazing."

"I just want to ask, does Guo Xiaosi have no shame at all? The rating on Impression.com is about to drop below 4 points, and he's still filming?"

"Hehe, it's because the reputation has already collapsed that they want to strike while the iron is hot and finish filming in one go. Otherwise, how are they going to harvest the idiots in the future?"

"."

Compared to the ridicule and criticism from the industry and the Internet, the fans were much more excited, even several actors.

Although he has been criticized during this period, his popularity, fame, status, and even his worth and endorsements are all on the rise.

Wei Jin ignored the commotion on the Internet. Before his trip to Venice, he held a celebration party for "Time Traveler".

The scale of this event was not large. There were only about a hundred guests and media reporters present, and less than 15 tables.

This is Guo Fan's own opinion. In his words, the company already has several billion-dollar directors, and the current result is not worth making a big fuss about.

Wei Jin also thought it made sense, so he simply booked two combos at the Royal Hotel.

But Wei Jin didn't expect that Song Yi, as the leading actress, should have followed the crew and walked among the guests, accepting congratulations and making connections.

At this moment, he came and sat down beside him obediently.

Looking at the somewhat shy girl with delicate features, Wei Jin raised his glass and congratulated her: "Congratulations, you are the leading actress of a 6 million box office movie."

"Thank you, Mr. Wei."

Although his voice was a little soft, Song Yi was quite refreshing when drinking and drank it all in one gulp.

But maybe he drank too fast, a blush appeared on Song Yi's fair and pretty face, which looked quite delicious.

Perhaps it was the alcohol that made Song Yi bolder. He raised his glass to Wei Jin again and said:
"Director Wei, I have been on the small screen since graduation. This is my first time acting on the big screen. I feel like I have a lot of shortcomings. Do you have time tonight to give me some advice?"

Good guy, are you planning to have a "Moonlight Script" with yourself?

But what's wrong with female celebrities pursuing progress?
What's more, it was the style he liked, so Wei Jin certainly wouldn't refuse and immediately put on a smile.

"Well, it's rare that you want to improve so much, so let's have a good discussion later."

After the dinner, Wei Jin brought Song Yi to the Golden House and began to instruct the female star on her acting skills.

It can be seen that Song Yi wants to pursue progress, but he obviously has no experience. After entering the room, he was dazed and had no idea what to do.

But it’s just right, Wei Jin felt a sense of accomplishment this way.

"Don't be nervous. You are an actor from the Central Academy of Drama. You should be familiar with liberating your nature, right?"

"Ah."

Song Yi's soft voice was almost inaudible, his fair skin seemed to be covered with a cloud of mist, and his whole body was flushed.

For her, this kind of thing is really shameful.

But she has been in the entertainment industry for seven or eight years and has thought it through clearly. It would be very difficult to survive without anyone supporting her.

I was lucky this time and got the leading female role, but what about the future? Will there be such an opportunity again?

Having enjoyed the taste of fame, Song Yi no longer wants to go back to her former status of being an unknown person.

And if she wants to keep going, the man in front of her is undoubtedly the one who can help her the most.

Thinking of this, Song Yi took a deep breath.

"Well, you have good talent, but not enough experience. Look at that angle just now."

Wei Jin gave guidance to the actresses based on his own feelings.

“Yes, it’s getting better.”

“Well, you must pay attention.”

"Well, we can cooperate. Yes, that's it."

Wei Jin had to admit that Song Yi, who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, was indeed very talented in learning. In just ten minutes, he was able to master the tricks.

"Well, very good. The training of liberating nature is almost done. Next, it's time to prepare for the actual shooting. Don't be nervous, I will guide you."
