During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 586: Open Casting and Big Sisters’ Birthday Night
September is already halfway through and the movies that will be released during the National Day holiday have been promoted in full swing.

The premiere of "Big Shot" has been scheduled for the 26th of the month. China Film and Wanda will be fully responsible, and relevant invitation letters have been sent to the industry.

The main actors such as Hu Jun and Huang Xuan have also begun frequent variety show promotions.

A one-minute promotional video for the movie was also released.

Huang Xuan's neurotic performance, street fighting, and flesh-and-flesh scenes in the film directly raised the audience's expectations.

In addition, the previously announced copyright transaction price of nearly 15 million US dollars also made the media call it shocking.

They don’t even need to say hello from the producers and will spontaneously help with promotion.

However, the movie "Special Identity" was scheduled to hold a press conference even though it was nearly a month away from release.

This drama has attracted considerable attention since it started filming, after all, it has the gimmick of last year's "Zhen Zhao dispute".

However, Zhen Zidan obviously regarded this popularity as his own appeal. Facing the media, he made a bold statement:

“After ‘SPL’ and ‘Flash Point’, I haven’t served as an action director for an urban action film for six years.

In this film, I am not only the lead actor, but also the action director and the film producer. I can assure the audience and fans that the action scenes are absolutely wonderful and will not disappoint you."

The media was eager to watch the fun and asked him directly if he was confident that the box office would surpass "A Man's Martial Arts".

Before Zhen Zidan could say anything, Yangzi stood up and started talking loudly:
"Special Identity" has an investment of 2 million yuan, and has the participation of Kung Fu superstar Zhen Zidan, and Sheng Yi has also undergone action training for several months. I am very confident in the film, and the box office will definitely exceed "A Man's Martial Arts"."

Although everyone thought that Yangzi was just bragging without thinking, this speech was seen as a counterattack declaration against last year's "Zhen Zhao dispute".

For a time, the popularity of "Special Identity" soared to a new height.

Wei Jin was quite surprised to receive Han Sanping's call. After answering the call, he smiled and joked:
"Boss Han, please don't tell me that you still have work to do at this time, right?"

"Get lost, are you trying to tease me?"

"Haha. Just kidding, but you only have a few days left before retirement. You should be taking it easy these days, right?"

"Of course. I drink tea and read newspapers in the office every day. It's very comfortable."

Han Sanping spoke very toughly, but Wei Jin could sense a sense of resentment in his voice.

It's no wonder that the chairman's office, which was always crowded with people, must be deserted during this period. Given Han Sanping's personality, it would be difficult for him to adapt.

"Oh, there's one more thing. The time has been set. It's on National Day. I won't be sending out any invitations this time. I'll let you know when the venue is set."

Wei Jin knew that Han Sanping was talking about his retirement and sixtieth birthday banquet.

"Okay, I'll wait for Director Han's notification."

Wei Jin thought that Han Sanping should have hung up the phone at this point, but he didn't expect that the old man had set a trap for him.

"Wei Jin, tell me, how many seats should I reserve for you when the time comes?"

Han Sanping's tone was teasing, but there was no way Wei Jin would be fooled, so he immediately turned the tables.

"Haha, Mr. Han, why don't you reserve a table for me? Or two tables will do."

"."

Han Sanping was so choked that he was speechless. He was really afraid that Wei Jin would bring a dozen women with him. What the hell would that be like?
After a long time, Han Sanping finally uttered "Get lost" and then hung up the phone.

"Hahaha"

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Wei Jin was overjoyed. After a while, he came to his senses and started to busy himself with his own things.

There will be a large number of male supporting roles in "Operation Mekong", and the acting skills required are not low, either masculine or wild.

Wei Jin's consideration was to hand over these roles to major film studios, including the August 1st Film Studio, art troupes and other units.

Although these people are not famous and even not good-looking, their acting skills are absolutely good, and their positions are completely in line with the requirements of the main theme.

In addition, special props involved in the filming process, such as police dogs, drug-sniffing dogs, various filming equipment, bullets, helicopters, etc., will all be coordinated by Golden Shield.

There will even be "professional" people participating in the extras, such as police and soldiers, so there are actually not many roles that can be released.

However, despite this, the main actors of this play still need to be decided as soon as possible.

So in the afternoon, Shanhe Media announced a piece of information to the public.

"The film Operation Mekong is accepting auditions from actors in the industry. All roles available for audition have been published on the company's official website. Each actor can audition for up to two roles."

As soon as the news came out, the film and television industry was instantly in turmoil.

"It's not easy. Director Wei Jin's new movie is actually holding public auditions?"

"Not only that, all the main characters are here. Boss Wei must have found his conscience."

"Oh my god, there are quite a few supporting roles, but why are there only two female characters?"

"What are you thinking about? This is a transnational police and gangster movie, a man's drama!"

"."

A large number of film and television companies, brokerage companies, and actors and artists in the industry are browsing the information on Shanhe Media’s official website.

Although this was expected, the celebrities still couldn't hide their excitement when they actually saw the notice.

The big commercial director who achieved a single-film box office of 10 billion US dollars at the beginning of the year and just won the three major European Grand Slams in Venice. It is not an exaggeration to describe Wei and Jin as a legend in global film history.

The projects he wrote and directed were so attractive.

As a result, everyone's resentment about the internal selections for several co-production films seemed to have dissipated a lot. After all, the matter is done, and the audition in front of them is more interesting.

"The most eye-catching one should be the policewoman, followed by the ex-girlfriend."

Actresses almost exclusively star in these two roles, without exception.

But male actors have more choices.

However, the more first-tier actors are, the more they are concerned about a few higher-ranked roles.

Of course, the large number of supporting roles also gave hope to many second- and third-tier actors.

For a time, a large number of resumes floated to Shanhe Media like snowflakes, and everyone was looking forward to passing the resume screening.

In comparison, Star Culture artists are much calmer. Unless they are really unsuitable, there will definitely be opportunities for auditions.

Han Han's film "A City" held its premiere in Beijing, and the invitation letter was also sent to Shanhe Media.

Unfortunately, Wei Jin didn't have the time to attend, because today happened to be Sister Li's birthday.

Wei Jin left the company early and returned to his villa in Yanjiao, where he saw Da Meiyuan and Li Jie busying themselves with their cell phones in the garden.

"Madams, what are you doing?"

Wei Jin walked between the two beauties, squeezed out a position for them, and hugged them on both sides. Unexpectedly, this made Big Meiyuan get weird.

"Hey, you are a busy man, why did you come back today?" "Ahem"

Wei Jin was completely speechless with this, because he had only been back in the country for about a week, and except for the first day when he paid his tax, he had spent the rest of the time hanging out outside. Anyone would have felt emotional.

Fortunately, Sister Li is considerate and took the initiative to change the subject, "Xiao Jin, the box office of Into the Dust is not very good, Yuanyuan is helping me post on Weibo."

The beautiful Zeng Li had a worried look on her face. Originally, box office results were not something she took into consideration.

But the bad thing is that at the previous premiere press conference, she had very high expectations for the collaboration between Zhang Yimou and Wei Jin.

In front of the media, he declared his goal of breaking Zhang Yimou's record for art films.

But unexpectedly, after 12 days of release, the box office has barely exceeded million, and the daily box office has dropped to around or million.

According to the current situation, it is highly likely that someone will be slapped in the face.

Zeng Li has posted quite a few Weibo posts these days, but unfortunately, as a talented actress, she rarely manages her Weibo account, and she has too few fans, so it’s almost as if she didn’t post anything, and the box office performance has not improved at all.

"Sister Li, think positively. The box office is actually pretty good. It's the champion of September after all."

Wei Jin's words were not entirely consolation. After the summer vacation ended, the film market was indeed very quiet.

Although "Hidden in the Dust" did not perform well at the box office, it is still a standout among many domestic films.

What's more, the core of this drama is so tragic that the current results are really very good.

"Don't just comfort people, help Sister Li."

It can be seen that Da Meiyuan and Zeng Li's relationship is indeed getting better and better. Wei Jin is very pleased, so he said in a gentle voice:

"Okay, I'll post a Weibo right away."

Wei Jin's appeal is indeed extraordinary. In just half an hour, most of the celebrities in the circle have reposted it in various ways.

Some people even directly shouted the slogan "We have booked the entire theater to give back to the fans!" and tagged Wei Jin.

But at this time, Wei Jin had no time to reply, he was busy making dinner for Er Mei.
After the warm dinner, Wei Jin played with his two children for a while.

The younger son was fine. Just after eight o'clock, he started yawning. Wei Jin handed him over to the nanny to coax him to sleep.

Dudu, on the other hand, was more clingy. She took the opportunity when her mother and best friend were chatting privately in the bedroom to have fun.

I was in suspense until after nine o'clock, then I reluctantly washed up and went to bed. Then I pulled Wei Jin aside and told him a bedtime story for half an hour before I fell asleep.

After gently kissing his sleeping daughter on the forehead, Wei Jin tiptoed out of the room.

When he arrived at the master bedroom, Wei Jin saw Zeng Li and Da Meiyuan leaning against the head of the bed, watching TV with relish.

"Xiao Jin, are you all asleep?"

"Well, Sister Yuanyuan, move closer."

"Oh, you're so annoying."

Although Da Meiyuan was impatient, she still moved in obediently. After Wei Jin got on the bed, she hugged her on both sides.

I took a quick glance and saw that the TV was playing "My Mr. Love", so I started watching it too.

"Xiao Jin, Zhao Liying's acting skills seem to be better than before. She is quite suitable for this kind of drama."

"Ah."

Wei Jin admitted that as an associate professor at the Central Academy of Drama, Zeng Li was quite capable and discovered Zhao Liying's strengths at first sight.

Compared to other young actresses, Zhao Liying's appearance is not an advantage, but she is very approachable, and it is easy for the audience to feel involved in the role of this kind of beautiful girl.

Perhaps thanks to this, the TV series had impressive ratings after its premiere on Anhui Satellite TV and Shancheng Satellite TV.

From the premiere ratings of 1.77, it has been soaring all the way. In just one week, it has directly exceeded 2, setting a peak score of 2.47.

Even judging from the ratings curve, it even surpassed the recent "Fall in Love with You", which is definitely another classic masterpiece.

The online reputation is also quite good, with an online impression score of 8.1.

Although the subsequent scores may decline as the TV series is broadcast and the number of viewers who rate it increases, the final score will definitely be more than 7.5 points.

This is a rare high score among Gu Man's works.

Because this drama breaks away from the melodramatic style of Gu Man, and focuses on workplace and love, interspersed with many humorous and heartwarming plots. The overall rhythm is light-hearted and enjoyable, and it is a drama that you will never get tired of watching even if you watch it several times.

At this moment, the plot develops to the point where the male protagonist Feng Teng and the female protagonist Shanshan confess their love and shout out that super classic line.

"I want everyone to know that this fish pond is contracted by you."

"Uh uh uh"

As soon as Luo Jin finished speaking on TV, Da Meiyu began to laugh so hard that she fell forward and backward, with most of her fair breasts exposed under her burgundy suspender pajamas.

Zeng Li on the other side performed much better. She just covered her mouth and chuckled, but her mature charm was still dazzling.

This scene immediately made Wei Jin stand in awe. He was not even watching a TV series. His big hands suddenly became active.

As the saying goes, men at thirty are like wolves and at forty are like tigers.

The two sisters were both in their prime, and under Wei Jin's instructions, their faces soon blushed. They turned their heads and said angrily:
"Don't do anything weird~~"

"Haha, madams, just mind your own business and pretend I don't exist."

Wei Jin stood still as a mountain, his skills remained as strong as ever, going up and down.

After a while, Da Meiyu was the first to be unable to bear it, and her slender hands caressed Wei Jin's abdominal muscles.

Wei Jin leaned against the beauty's earlobe and whispered, "Sister Yuanyuan, how about we play for a while?"

Da Meiyu's heart was instantly moved. She glanced at Zeng Li and saw that her best friend's face was blushing, but she was still concentrating on the TV series.

After secretly saying that she didn't have enough self-control, Da Meiyu bit her red lips, nodded, and then quietly got into bed.

"Oh~~~"

Hearing Wei Jin's sigh, Zeng Li turned her head and saw that her best friend had cheated on her, so she decisively turned off the TV and kissed him with her red lips.

"Well"

Wei Jin, both elder and younger, were tasting the beauty's red lips, and his hands were not idle either, sometimes "guiding" Zeng Li, sometimes "guiding" Gao Yuanyuan.

After a short while, the two beauties sent out signals in different ways.

In this case, how could Wei Jin refuse?

However, considering that Zeng Li's birthday is today and Gao Yuanyuan has been working hard for a long time, Wei Jin plans to do it in no particular order tonight.

So in a few seconds, the two beauties were stacked into a Luohan...

Facing the moonlight, Wei Jin started tonight's birthday party.
