During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 84 Sister Li’s heart and being nominated for Cannes

On the set of "Room", Wei Jin sat behind the monitor with a headset and stared at the scene being filmed.

On the sofa, Zeng Li accused Kaili with a cry:
  "You have no idea what's going on in my head."

"Then you should tell me!"

Zhang Kaili's voice gradually increased, with some helplessness:

"I asked you, but did you say anything?"

"."

As the plot progresses, the two mother and daughter begin to quarrel. Their emotions are well grasped, and a long shot perfectly records the performances of the two actors.

"Ka, that's good. Let's take a rest first."

Wei Jin yelled, and then immersed himself in watching the playback on the monitor. After repeatedly comparing it with the picture in his mind, he was very satisfied.

The overall performance of Zeng Li, Zhang Zhangli, and Wu Lei in this scene was very good, especially the mother-son estrangement and conflict between Zeng Li and Zhang Zhangli, which were well performed.

The filming days passed day by day, and some actors were gradually completed. A few guest actors were also experienced actors. All the actors had online acting skills, and the shooting speed was also quite fast.

On the set, in the heroine's bedroom, two mother and son were sitting on the bed. Zeng Li lowered his head and glanced at Wu Lei, who was playing with toys.

The camera gave Zeng Li a close-up, her face was full of guilt. This was the first time she met her son after she was hospitalized after a suicide attempt, and she was still thinking about how to speak.

"I'm sorry, An An."

Zeng Li's tone was full of apology.

"It's okay, Mom, just don't do it again in the future."

Wu Lei looked up at his mother and whispered:
  "I promise you, son."

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Well, everything will get better gradually."

"click"

Wei Jin, who was sitting behind the monitor, looked at the footage carefully, took off his headset, and said loudly:

"I announce that "The Room" is officially finished!"

After hearing Wei Jin's words, the crew also began to cheer.

"Everyone, please pay attention. At 7 o'clock tonight, we will meet you at the finals banquet."

The entire filming process of this movie was very depressing, and Wei Jin also planned to bring everyone together to have fun and lively.

In the evening, the crew booked an entire floor of a hotel in the city.

At this time, even the actors who had finished filming were here. The filming banquet was very lively from the beginning, and there were no longer various positions on the crew. Regardless of their status, everyone was drinking and chatting in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

As always, many people from Wei Jin's side came to toast. Due to their physical fitness, Wei Jin naturally refused all comers, which attracted everyone's applause. Seeing everyone's mood rising, Wei Jin was also very happy.

Halfway through the banquet, Wei Jin found a somewhat depressed Zeng Li in the corner, and his heart skipped a beat.

The forced smiles on Zeng Li's face when they communicated with Wu Lei later made Wei Jin understand that Zeng Li had fallen deeper and deeper into trouble, and it was almost impossible to get out.

The eyes he looked at Wu Lei were filled with motherly love, but his own emotions were extremely depressed.

Wei Jin knew that this was not a good sign, and was thinking of ways to get Sister Li out of her role.

"Sister Li, do you still remember this tree?"

The capital has warmed up in April, but Wei Jin and Zeng Li are still fully armed, because Zeng Li is no longer what he used to be. If they don't disguise themselves, they might be surrounded as soon as they go out. Today Wei Jin took Zeng Li to the tree in Beihai Park. He knew that Zeng Li had left many beautiful memories here.

"Of course I remember, that's where you truly stole my heart that day."

Arriving at a familiar place in her memory, Zeng Li seemed to be in a cheerful mood. She also knew her situation and was happy to accept Wei Jin's thoughtful arrangements.

"Then if time goes over again, Sister Li, would you still be willing to let me steal your heart?"

Wei Jin gently held Zeng Li's arms with his hands. Although his tone was very frivolous, his eyes were sincere. He knew that there were some things that could not be hidden from Zeng Li.

"."

Zeng Li was a little silent. The two of them had been together for such a long time, and she had some understanding of Wei Jin's romance. She often asked herself in her heart whether she could leave Wei Jin. The answer was no, which made her very entangled. .

The question about Wei Jin in front of her gave her a hypothesis. If she could go back to the past, would she still be willing to be moved?

If you think about it carefully, you have known Wei Jin for almost three years. Everything this man has done for you, the emotions he shows when you get along, and even the way he looks at you every time you have fun, all show that he has his own heart.

At this moment, Zeng Li made up his mind to put everything aside and respect his heart.

"I am willing, Xiaojin, as long as it is you, I am willing."

Naturally, Wei Jin didn't know Zeng Li's inner struggle, so he just held Sister Li's hair with both hands and gently held her in his arms:

"Sister Li, thank you."

Zeng Li didn't say anything when he heard this, and just leaned gently on Wei Jin's shoulder, enjoying the time that belonged to the two of them alone.

This situation is just like before. Neither of them has changed, but they have both changed.

As Zeng Li's mood gradually improved, Wei Jin also began to work on the later stages of the movie. Time waits for no one. Maybe he can't give Sister Li the diamond ring she wants, so let this movie bring her the crown.

In mid-April, "Room" was finally completed, and Wei Jin arranged for people to rush to Cannes.

"The Conjuring" has been officially released, with a North American box office of 1.85 million and a global box office of 2.53 million. Summit Entertainment has completely made a name for itself. A group of senior executives have decided to launch "Insidious 2" in the second half of the year and continue to release it in March next year. Month is designated as North American Horror Month to highlight the company's strength.

"Hurricane Rescue" has also completed most of the filming and is scheduled to be released in the second half of the year. Wei Jin's 20% investment share was finally divided into half to Huayi Brothers, with a price of 3600 million. Wei Jin did not have a big mouth, so it only paid a 50% premium. However, Wei Jin has obtained the priority investment rights for two future Huayi films, which can be regarded as a win-win situation.

In addition, "The Temptation of Going Home" has officially started filming. In terms of starring, the first female lead was given to senior Yan Danchen, the second female lead was given to Yang Rong, and the male lead finally chose Ling Xiaoshu.

"Beauty's Scheming" is also in the early stages of preparation. This is also the company's highlight this year. The production cost exceeds 3000 million. Compared with the original version, the costumes, related scenery and large-scale scenes are all qualitatively improved.

The main actors have been confirmed:
  Fan Bingbing, the female lead, was originally planned by Wei Jin to be a member of the company, but after Wu Jinyuan saw Fan Bingbing's appearance, he said that it fit the role very well. Considering that a drama cannot be all newcomers, otherwise the TV station will also open She didn't want to pay a high price, so she chose Fan Bingbing in the end, and Wei Jin gave her an explanation.

The second female lead, Yang Xue, was appointed by the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Her performance as Jiang Yuyan was really impressive.

This time Yang Xue plays three roles, all of them are villains, and she can satisfy her villain addiction in one go.

As for the female killer with a somewhat likable personality, Wei Jin planned to let Jing Tian give it a try.

The first male lead, Qiao Zhenyu, the second male lead, Luo Jin, and the rest of the supporting roles were left to the director for consideration, but all the newcomers in the company were packed and stuffed by Wei Jin to show their faces.

The publicity and distribution of "People on the Road" has also begun, and topic discussions have appeared frequently in major online forums:
  "Share the embarrassing things you encountered during Spring Festival travel" really aroused discussion among many netizens.

This time, Wei Jin plans to do the distribution himself, and the distribution capability is also a reflection of the comprehensive strength of a film and television company.

At present, the Shanhe Cinema Alliance has been formed, with a total of more than 320 large screens, accounting for 11% of the market share, ranking among the top five. Coupled with Lu Zheng's matchmaking, the relationship with Wanda Cinema is also good, and the two companies have a vague relationship. As for the intention of joining forces, other theater chains would not dare to offend too much, and they should give more consideration to the film arrangement, so this time Wei Jin is confident to get the distribution business going.

In the early morning of April 4, Cannes officially announced the list of 20 feature films shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 21th Cannes Film Festival. "Room" directed by Wei Jin is impressively on the list, and it is the only Chinese-language film.
