During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 97 Reactions from all parties and return to China

On the night after the awards ceremony ended, the news about Wei Jin winning the Palme d'Or and Zeng Lixi winning the Best Actress Award at Cannes had already come out.

Many night owl netizens also noticed it immediately, and it immediately caused a huge response.

"Mainland's first Best Actress at Cannes! The youngest Palme d'Or winner in history! Director Wei is awesome and Dalizi is mighty!"

"Congratulations to Boss Wei for winning the Palme d'Or. The people of the capital sent a congratulatory message!"

"I'm so surprised, did you really win the Best Actress? Dalizi is great!"

"Boss Wei is going to become a hot commodity in the film and television industry. Aren't the female stars going to rush in?"

"."

Different from the irregularity of Leziren netizens, many media articles basically focus on the two points of mainland China's first Cannes Best Actress and the youngest Palme d'Or winner in history.

"It is reported that at 28: pm on the th local time in France, the th Cannes Film Festival came to an end. my country's famous young director Wei Jin won the Palme d'Or for "Room", and the famous young actress Zeng Li won the Golden Palm Award for her performance in "Room". "Room" is the first time a film has been released for its brilliant performance."

"The youngest Palme d'Or winner in history is born - Nortel's 02-level director Wei Jin."

"Mainland's first Cannes Best Actress, she is in the movie."

"."

Reactions to the news from Cannes have been mixed.

Taking advantage of Zeng Li's award-winning performance, Mango TV launched the official promotion of "Star You".

Nortel still follows the old tradition of making the banner overnight and hanging it up early the next morning:
  "Warm congratulations to Wei Jin, an outstanding student in the 02 Directing Department of our school, for winning the Palme d'Or at the 59th Cannes Film Festival"

This time, the Chinese drama next door was not to be outdone. Almost at the same time as Nortel hung up the banner, it also hung up:

"Warm congratulations to Zeng Li, an alumnus of our school's acting department who graduated in 96, for winning the Best Actress Award at the 59th Cannes Film Festival"

The Nortel students who came to school for a while looked proud of their own banner, but turned around and saw the banner next door. They felt so cold and couldn't help but sigh, why are the outstanding directors of our school looking for actors from the school next door to film their scenes? ? Is the Nortel Performance Department so crotch-stretching?
  Naturally, the firecrackers are blasting and the gongs and drums are noisy here. Mainland China is the first Cannes Best Actress. This is a major honor that can be recorded in the history of the school. The leaders of the Chinese Theater School are already thinking about whether to invite Zeng Li back to the school to graduate. What an honorary title.

The news that Wei Jin and Zeng Li won the award made many movie fans cheer, but also forced the media and critics to re-examine Wei Jin.

The media and comments have always had mixed praise and criticism for Wei and Jin.

As the boss of a cutting-edge domestic film and television company and a director with box-office hits, Wei Jin generally gets along with the media quite happily, with few discordant voices.

He doesn't care about the media praising Wei and Jin. He believes that as long as he continues to succeed, the media will only flatter him, just like now.

However, in the critic circle, Wei Jin's repeated comments on commercial films are actually not welcomed by this group of people. The embarrassing situation encountered before "Painted Skin" is actually somewhat similar to Feng Dapao. As a director who is loved by the audience and a box office hit, The director has a mediocre reputation among critics.

However, Wei Jin's identity is different from Feng Dapao's. He is also the boss of a film and television company. Relatively speaking, he is in a much better situation than Feng Dapao. At least he will be given some face and some consolation prizes in many cases.

But things are different now. Wei Jin suddenly won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. This is an honor that many directors of the older generation have worked hard for all their lives but cannot win. Now these people have collectively lost their voices.
  Compared to the praise from the media and the silence from critics, the news that Wei Jin and Zeng Li won awards at Cannes seems to have caused greater shock in the circle.

Many companies in the industry are already envious of the fact that Wei Jin has won awards and become famous, and can also obtain sky-high overseas copyrights. For a while, they have also begun to look for some projects with the potential to win awards.

But more importantly, they want to cooperate with Wei and Jin, and the desire to cooperate has never been stronger.

Not to mention the female stars. After all, if you make Wei Jin's commercial films, you can have box office guarantees, and if you make his literary films, you can win awards. They are simply the best partners to work with.

Naturally, the female stars of the Chinese opera contacted the school teachers and prepared to get a breakthrough from Zeng Li.

Not to mention those from Nortel, who have already made up their mind that they must show up at Wei Jin's graduation ceremony to build relationships.

As for those who went to Xixi and Yeluzi, they were more showing goodwill to Wei Jin Company. There were quite a few hanging around in front of the company in the past two days.

At present, the mainstream group of actresses in the film and television industry are still those born in the 70s. After all, only one actress born in the 80s, Liu Yifei, has made a name for herself, so the competition is very fierce.

Si Dan Shuang Bing, Li Xiaoran, Jiang Qinqin, Chen Hao, Xu Qing, Ning Jing, etc. are so jealous of Zeng Li. She is the first Cannes Best Actress in Mainland China. Why is it her!
  Naturally, Wei Jin didn't know about the turmoil in the country. At this time, he and the crew had already boarded the plane back to China.

The overseas copyright quotation for "Room" was quite high, with the total price reaching 1300 million U.S. dollars. Chen Zhiming was laughing from ear to ear. However, what is strange is that Wei Jin did not choose to trade, but entrusted a public relations team to continue Participate in other international film festivals.

His ambition is already clear, he is heading for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Wei Jin thought very clearly that even if he did not win the award in the end, the copyright price of this film would not drop too much.

What's more, the production cost of the movie was only 1000 million, most of which was the salary of Wei Jin and Zeng Li.

This time Wei Jin only received a basic salary of 300 million yuan. Due to Zeng Li's popularity last year, his current salary has risen to 200 million yuan, which is only slightly lower than Zhou Xun. After winning this award, Zeng Li's salary will be even larger. Increase in magnitude.

So why not give it a try and let yourself and sister Li become a god?
  After more than ten hours of flying, Wei Jin and his party returned to China. It was already May 5.

As soon as he walked out of the safe passage, a dense crowd surrounded him.

"Director Wei, please win the Palme d'Or. What do you want to say?"

"Director Wei, when will the movie be released?"

"Ms. Zeng, how do you feel about winning the Best Actress Award at Cannes?"

"Dalizi, I love you"

"."

Reporters chased Wei Jin and Zeng Li, and fans holding signs of support also rushed forward. Fortunately, there were security guards to maintain order, otherwise something might have happened.

Seeing this situation, the group had no choice but to stop and be interviewed.

"Please don't crowd. It's safe. We will hold a press conference through the company for relevant information. Please also contact the company for relevant interviews. Thank you."

As the company spokesman, Chen Zhiming dismissed the reporters with a few words, and the group broke away from the crowd and got into a car sent by the company.

"It's just crazy."

Zeng Li looked through the car window at the reporters and fans who were still chasing after them with long guns and cannons, and felt lingering fear.

"It's normal. After all, we made big news this time. Sister Li, how will you reward me tonight?"

Wei Jin thought it was normal. Chasing hot topics was the bounden duty of the media, so he started flirting with Zeng Li.

"Nothing is right, Xiaona is still here."

"Ahem, boss, congratulations."

Li Na, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, felt a little embarrassed and said, "The boss is good at everything, but he is too romantic."

It has been almost three years since the little girl joined the company. This time as an administrative secretary, she followed the motorcade to greet Wei Jin.

"Thank you, Xiaona, how is the company doing during this time?"

It has been nearly 20 days since Wei Jin left, and the progress of many things is not very clear, so I asked this question.

Li Na then began to report on her work. Listening to the report, Wei Jin nodded from time to time. It seemed that the company was running well.

"Unfortunately" has been released, with a final box office of 1.48 million. It seems that the potential for the May Day release is still good.

"The Temptation of Going Home" is currently in the final stages of filming and is expected to be completed in about ten days.

"Beautiful Heart" has also officially started shooting. The shooting period is initially scheduled to be three months and is expected to be completed by the end of July.

"Cohabitation in Time and Space" has already completed post-production and has been scheduled for July 7.

"Star You" is scheduled to be released on June 6

The recruitment of contestants for "Boys and Girls Go Forward" is about to be completed, and recording is expected to begin in two weeks.

After hearing the last news, Wei Jin began to think that it was time to recruit new assistants.
