During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 584: Fan Bingbing's weird attitude and Yang Mi's arrogance
When I woke up, the circle became lively again.

The news of Wang Fei and Li Yapeng’s divorce was immediately pushed to the top of the hot searches.

The entire entertainment industry seemed to be in an uproar, with a large number of first- and second-tier actors posting messages to express regret and consolation, which seemed somewhat contrived.

What’s even funnier is that in the news that was pinned to the top of the headlines of major portals, not only Wang Fei and Li Yapeng were reported, but actor Xie was also involved.

This forced Ying Huang to step down and try hard to help actor Xie to calm down public opinion, but with little success.

Moreover, some nosy media and netizens directly dug out the love history of these two people, and the people involved in the circle can completely form a map of the entertainment industry.

I can only say that the entertainment industry is really too chaotic!
"dong dong dong~~"

"Enter."

There was a knock on the door, bringing Wei Jin back from his distracted state. He looked up and saw that it was Jiang Xueman.

"Director Jiang, what's the matter?"

"Well, the film purchasing directors of several TV stations just left, and the second and third rounds of "Silent Separation" have been negotiated."

Listening to Jiang Xueman's report, a smile appeared on Wei Jin's face.

The drama came to an end at the beginning of the month, and the ratings were quite impressive, with a peak of over 3 and an average rating of 2.71%.

Therefore, the second and third round broadcast rights of the TV series were scrambled for by major TV stations. In the end, eight TV stations offered a price of 8 million per episode.

"Well, very good. It seems that the performance of the TV drama production department this year should be better than last year. Director Jiang, thank you for your hard work."

Wei Jin smiled and praised that he had indeed had less worries since Jiang Xueman joined the company.

"It's all thanks to President Wei's good leadership."

Jiang Xueman spoke modestly. She did not dare to take any credit for it. Considering Shanhe Media's copyright hoarding and production team, if someone else came in, the result might be similar.

"By the way, Director Jiang, what's the current situation of 'Day and Night Chase'?"

Wei Jin did not continue to be polite on this topic and instead turned to concern himself with the new project.

Previous issues regarding TV drama censorship made Wei Jin realize that the company’s broadcasting channels needed to be expanded, and this “Day and Night Chase” is a formal online broadcast.

"It's going pretty smoothly. Pan Yueming has already accepted the offer and is already doing the preliminary preparations."

Wei Jin nodded. Pan Yueming’s performance in the original version was quite good, and he was not an actor who was very picky about the roles he played.

I signed an eight-year contract with the company, so I still have to take care of myself.

"By the way, has the female lead been decided?"

"Um, not yet."

Jiang Xuemeng was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Does President Wei have a candidate?"

"Well, I have a general idea. I will arrange for an audition when the time comes. You just need to check it out."

Having just swallowed Yang Caiyu's sugar-coated bullet, Wei Jin would naturally not be ruthless.

Although "Day and Night Chase" is a web drama, the production team and funding are in line with the standards of high-quality TV dramas. Wei Jin feels that he has done his best.

As for the audition, if the performance is too bad, then it’s not Wei’s fault.

"Okay, Mr. Wei."

Jiang Xuemeng didn't ask any more questions and agreed readily. She then reported on the operation of other projects.

The drama "Love O2O" has been completed and is currently in post-production.

This play has many special effects scenes. According to Shanhe Shuimo's feedback, it will take at least five months.

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."

Han Sanping has really devoted all his energy to domestic films.

Even when he was about to retire, he still did not hesitate when it came to scheduling screenings of imported films.

The movie "Jurassic Park 3D" was obviously aimed at the summer student population, but Mr. Han put it in late August.

Of course, strictly speaking, this is indeed the summer season.

However, with the start of the school term in major cinemas, the single-day box office of "Jurassic Park 8D" has been cut in half again and again since the end of August.

The film grossed 2.1 million yuan in the first week after its release, but now, after more than three weeks, it has still not passed the 4 million yuan mark. Its potential has basically been exhausted.

"So, Lao Han has been complained about?"

Wei Jin had just finished drawing the storyboard script for "Operation Mekong" when Chen Xi knocked on the door and walked in, starting to chat about the gossip he had heard.

"Well, I heard that when the producer was interviewed by the media, he bluntly said that our competent authorities deliberately targeted imported blockbusters."

Chen Xi sat opposite Wei Jin with a smile on his face: "They also specifically emphasized that the good schedules will never be for imported blockbusters, otherwise they will arrange some small and medium-cost imported films."

"Well, Mr. Han did exactly that. It's the Domestic Film Protection Month. We can only do it, not talk about it. Hahahaha."

Wei Jin was amused, and then asked curiously: "What did Mr. Han say?"

"What can I say? I just ignored him this time, haha."

Wei Jin nodded. That was true. Han Sanping was about to retire, so why bother about so many things?

"I just wonder if the new head, Mr. La, who will take office next month, will be as tough as Mr. Han."

Chen Xi sighed with emotion, and Wei Jin nodded as well. This was indeed something that the entire domestic film industry was currently worried about.

Although Han Sanping is a bit overbearing, he has indeed done his best to resist imported films.

After all, an agreement has been signed, and in his position, all he can do is to maintain the best possible balance.

"Forget it, don't think about those things. When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops and when the water comes, we will block it with earth."

"Yeah, that's right. The movies produced by our company are not scary at all."

Chen Xi's face was shining with confidence, which was also the confidence gained by Shanhe Media from making one movie after another since its establishment.

"Okay, come over here. Is this about Operation Mekong?"

"Well, the location scouting team is back. The filming locations include Beijing, Bangkok, Yunnan Province, the Golden Triangle, etc."

Hearing this, Wei Jin interrupted Chen Xi directly, "Is there any problem with safety?"

“Don’t worry, boss. This time, Golden Shield has specially communicated with several relevant departments and will provide convenience and support for the filming.

Moreover, the farthest shooting location is less than 200 kilometers away from our border. When shooting across the border, relevant departments will cooperate and follow.

In addition, according to the description of the location scouting team, the security conditions in that area are relatively good now, and it has been developed into a tourist attraction, so there will definitely be no problem with safety.”

"Okay, let's settle it then."

"Okay, boss."

Wei Jin didn't expect that the matter between Wang Fei and Li Yapeng would involve Shanhe Media.

Because netizens have been so creative, they extended the "old love + friends + gossip" map based on the old love relationship map. This map includes most of the first-line celebrities in the entertainment industry from the 1990s to the present, and covers both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

However, netizens discovered an astonishing fact: Wang Fei, Xie Feng, Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun have all returned to being single.

People on the Internet are joking that everything has returned to the starting point and can be rearranged and reorganized.

Maybe this time, the entire entertainment industry will be swept up in one fell swoop.

At this moment, the crew of "Red Sorghum" was harassed by media reporters, all of whom wanted to interview Zhou Xun.

Wei Jin had no way to deal with these reporters. He couldn't just chase them away, right?

Fortunately, Jiang Xuemeng rushed over to deal with it as soon as possible.

But at this moment, a piece of news from the Film Bureau quickly diverted the attention of the circle.

The "Interstellar" project, which has been kept secret for a long time, has been officially unveiled to the entire Chinese film and television entertainment industry.

“Reprinted from the official website of the Film Bureau, co-production film announcement information:

The filing of the China Film Group Corporation, jointly produced by China Film Group, Shanhe Media, Wanda Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Summit Entertainment, with an investment of US$1.7 million, was successful and the project was approved.

"It is reported that Interstellar was written by the gold medal screenwriter Wei Jin. It is a science fiction script based entirely on general relativity and black hole theory. It tells the story of the future world where the earth is withering and astronauts are looking for a new home through wormholes."

"The Sino-US co-production Interstellar will be directed by Christopher Nolan, the international science fiction director. His sci-fi predecessor Inception has grossed $09 billion worldwide since its release in 12.3."

As soon as the news came out, it overwhelmed Wang Fei's divorce incident, directly topped the Weibo hot search list, and landed on the headlines of major entertainment sections.

For the entire Chinese-language film and television industry, the most important industry news today is undoubtedly "Interstellar", a film project with an investment of 1.7 million US dollars.

To be honest, with the increasing prosperity of the domestic film industry, co-productions are not uncommon. Several co-productions have been launched this year alone.

For example, Huayi's Sino-French co-production "Wolf Totem" cost 5000 million US dollars and invited Jean-Jacques Annaud, the winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, to direct it.

But a project like "Interstellar", with an investment of 1.7 million US dollars, directed by Nolan and written by Wei Jin, is still the world's top resource.

You know, to date, the most profitable co-production projects are still "Inception" and "Pacific Rim".

The five major producers with successful precedents are undoubtedly more convincing.

At this moment, countless actors and agents in the industry have shining eyes, are anxious and excited, and are flocking to it.

Because there are already great examples and the road has been paved, the actors just need to copy them.

To put it mildly, there is Li Bingbing in "Transformers 4" and "Resident Evil 5", a supporting role and the second female lead;

On the higher end, there’s Fan Bingbing, the heroine of Pacific Rim and Godzilla;
Even if we look at the top configurations, there are Liu Yifei's "Inception" and Jing Tian's "The Killing".

These are all examples. They are all international resources that can make newcomers famous around the world, drive them crazy, and increase their status and influence dramatically. They are the big Hollywood pie!

Even though they have been "hurt" by Wei Jin many times, actors in the entertainment industry still hold on to their illusions.

"Bingbing, the roles have been decided."

As expected, Wei Jin received a lot of calls.

He was not very familiar with Zhang Ziyi and Li Bingbing, so he just sent them away. However, Wei Jin still explained about his forbidden love.

The progress of the "Interstellar" project is very good. Nolan has not only completed the exploration of a small number of filming locations in the country and met the requirements for co-production, but even the roles have been selected.

The male lead was chosen to be Matthew Commoner, who had just collaborated with Summit Entertainment on "Dallas Buyers Club" this year.

The leading female role was chosen to be Anne Hathaway, who just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress last year.

It’s just that La Peikang’s style is much more conservative and has never been announced to the public.

As for the character information, Warner will probably announce it in a few days. Now it’s just a way to stir up the hype.

After listening to this, Fan Bingbing on the other end of the phone didn't seem too disgusted.

After all, a production like "Godzilla" was given to her. If she was greedy, she would not be able to put herself in the right position.

"Uncle, have you finalized your project? I haven't been your heroine yet."

"The casting will start in a few days. You shouldn't have any problem with scheduling. But Bingbing, your appearance isn't quite suitable."

Wei Jin is not kidding. In "Operation Mekong", there are two outstanding female characters.

With Fan Bingbing's status, there is no problem for her to play the leading female role, but the bad thing is her charming face, which is not the appearance that a front-line policewoman should have.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, uncle."

Fan Bingbing didn't care about it, but at the last moment, this slutty fox still said something to Wei Jin.

"But uncle, aren't you afraid that the fish pond will explode this time?"

"Sigh~~~"

Wei Jin took a deep breath. The fish pond would definitely not explode, but he was about to explode, so he reached out his hand to comfort Yang Mi under him.

"Mi Mi, your schedule is not suitable this time. There will be a chance in the future."

Wei Jin was not kidding. Yang Mi had just finished filming "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and would join the crew of "Breakup Guru" in two days.

In any case, she could not catch up with "Interstellar", so Wei Jin did not consider her at the beginning.

I accepted her invitation today only because I considered that she is getting older and needs to take care of herself.

"Brother, I don't care."

Yang Mi slowly let go of Wei Jin, and smoothed her loose hair with her hand, and then said with a little emotion:

"I'm just worried that you won't treat me fairly, and what will happen if something goes wrong?"

Although he pretended not to care, Yang Mi felt somewhat sad.

She accepted the fact that she couldn't compare to those four women, and she could even understand it if Wei Jin chose Fan Bingbing.

Now that she had chosen Liu Shishi, who did not get along well with her, Yang Mi really felt uncomfortable. She did not expect that the ordinary little white flower had such sophisticated means.

She could imagine that once the news was announced, she would be criticized by that sugar man named Miss Cai again.

Unfortunately, the schedule doesn’t suit her. What can she do?

"Mi Mi, don't worry about this."

It’s impossible for the car to overturn.

She was just a supporting female role, but Wei Jin had already made arrangements to deal with the situation.

However, Yang Mi's state surprised him a little, so he reached out and lifted her chin with a teasing look on his face.

"Who did you learn this sarcasm from? I'll have to try it out later."

"Just give it a try, who's afraid of who?"

Yang Mi bit her red lips and threw a coquettish glance.
