China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 626 Tired
Wang Shu found that he seemed to be in the middle of a group of flatterers, and the dinner ended amid all kinds of praise.

The three of them left the restaurant. Ren Zhonglun left first, leaving Wang Shu and Ning Jing behind.

Ning Jing was originally waiting for Ren Zhonglun to leave first. After seeing Ren Zhonglun leave, she looked at Wang Shu eagerly: "Director Wang, if there is a role in the future, please consider me?"

Although Wang Shu had agreed to it before, she knew it was all polite talk.

At this moment, I can't help but talk about this topic again.

Wang Shu smiled and replied, "Sister Jing, didn't I just say that? If there is a role suitable for you, I will definitely call you."

Ning Jing rolled his eyes at Wang Shu after hearing what he said.

In her opinion, this was an excuse.

With a slightly self-pitying expression, he pursed his lips and said, "Can't you just give me a definite answer?"

Wang Shu pretended to be embarrassed: "Sister Jing, I think you also know that the actors I choose are basically more in line with the characters in the script."

"So, what I can tell you for sure is that if there is a role that suits you, I will definitely call you."

"But..." Ning Jing opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

She wanted to say that there are many actors in the entertainment industry, and the roles that suit her are also suitable for others.

For example, Gong Li can cover all her acting range.

It is very likely that the role that suits her will be played by someone else.

It was just that saying this seemed a bit derogatory to myself, so I didn't say anything.

Finally, she sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it. I hope you really have me, Sister Jing, in your heart."

Hearing this, Wang Shu held Ning Jing's hand with an innocent look on his face and continued, "Sister Jing has always been in my heart."

This action combined with these words instantly touched Ning Jing and he felt uneasy inside.

However, Wang Shu's innocent appearance made her feel embarrassed.

After all, he is a veteran actor, so he quickly managed his emotions, rolled his eyes, and said helplessly: "You are just sweet-talking."

She did not pull her hand away and let Wang Shu hold it.

Wang Shu did not let go, but continued to say with a pure and innocent look, feeling wronged: "I really have always had Sister Jing in my heart."

"It's not that I don't want to give you the role, Sister Jing, but all along, whether it's the role in the script or the influence of other factors, there has never been a role suitable for you."

"If I had, I would have called you over a long time ago."

When Ning Jing heard this, she thought about the many actresses who had worked with Wang Shu.

That seems to be the case.

For example, Ning Jing felt that the leading female role in "The Cruise" was suitable for her.

But Han Sanping wanted to expand the lineup, so he invited Gong Li.

In this case, she would have to stand aside.

For example, in "Travel to Taipei", Wang Shu had an equity transaction with Huayi, which led to Li Binbin playing the leading female role.

After just a brief recollection, Ning Jing became increasingly aware of the embarrassment of her situation.

Roles that suit her are often replaced by more famous actresses.

The role is not suitable for her, and Wang Shu would not invite her to perform given his style of filming.

Very helpless.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt an urge in my heart.

Wang Shu has never been in love, but he was able to risk his life for a beautiful woman, which shows that he is relatively simple in terms of feelings.

Plus, he’s young and energetic, so he definitely wants women.

In this case, is it possible?

Ning Jing had a strong impulse in her heart, but a bit of kindness in her heart told her that she shouldn't bring harm to a simple-minded young man like Wang Shu.

Some of them, I just can’t bring myself to do.

"Alas, I don't blame you." Ning Jing's voice gradually softened, "I was just saying that."

When Wang Shu heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

The two chatted for a while and then left.

Ning Jing walked a few steps and couldn't help but look back at Wang Shu, and saw Wang Shu walking in another direction.

He looked back several times, saw Wang Shu get on the car, and then watched Wang Shu go away before he started walking again.

"Director Wang, do you want to go to the movies together?" Wang Shugang had just returned to his apartment in the city and sat down to have a cup of tea when he received a call from Yang Mi.

This person has no plans to renew his contract with Rong Xinda because he is very free at this time.

"What movie?" Wang Shu asked.

"Would you like to watch "Midnight Taxi"? " Yang Mi asked with a smile.

"Midnight Taxi?" Wang Shu pretended to be confused, as if he had never heard of it.

In fact, of course he knew this movie. "Midnight Taxi" was the last ghost movie to be released in theaters with real ghosts.

Since then, policies have been tightened further.

There are no more ghosts in the horror movies released in theaters.

"Hey, let's go watch a romantic movie from Hong Kong together?" Yang Mi invited with a smile.

What a romantic movie?!
When Wang Shu heard this, he immediately complained in his heart.

However, he also knew that what Yang Mi said was not wrong.

Although "Midnight Taxi" is a horror film, it is also a romance film.

Wang Shu saw through Yang Mi's deception but didn't say anything. He then asked, "When are we going to see it?"

"Are you free tonight?" Yang Mi asked cheerfully.

Wang Shu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Then go after dinner."

"Hey, come and pick me up." Yang Mi said happily.

"Okay." Wang Shu responded with a smile.

In the evening, Wang Shu and Yang Mi had dinner together.

In the private room, Yang Mi sat opposite Wang Shu, putting food into Wang Shu's bowl from time to time.

Seeing this, Wang Shu complained: "You eat it yourself, I can pick it up myself."

When Yang Mi heard this, she pouted slightly aggrieved.

After a while, Wang Shu noticed that Yang Mi was staring at him and complained again: "Why are you looking at me when you are eating?"

"You're so handsome, can't I help but look at you?" Yang Mi replied jokingly.

If there was another person here, everyone would be able to see Yang Mi's intentions in an instant.

Of course, Wang Shu also noticed it.

But he was pretending to be a wooden man.

This is in line with his personality.

"Heh." Wang Shu chuckled and didn't say much.

Yang Mi curled her lips, quite speechless about Wang Shu's unromantic reaction, and then continued: "I'm an actor, I need to manage my figure, and I can't eat too much."

"Then I sat opposite you, and I looked at you when I was fine, right?"

This statement is well-founded and there is indeed nothing wrong with it.

Wang Shu smiled and continued eating.

Seeing this, Yang Mi pouted, as if complaining about something in her heart, and then said, "Director Wang, don't you know that I don't plan to renew my contract with Rong Xinda?"

"Now both mainland companies and Hong Kong companies have contacted me. Do you think I should sign with the Hong Kong company or the mainland company?"

Wang Shu said without hesitation: "You decide for yourself. Sign whichever side you think is better."

Although Hong Kong entertainment will soon be swept down the drain, Yang Mi was signed by a Hong Kong agency and starred in the TV series "Palace". It was also because of the contract with the Hong Kong agency that she starred in the movie "Far Cry" with Chen Xiaochun, officially opening her film era.

Therefore, if Wang Shu analyzed the decline of Hong Kong entertainment to her, causing Yang Mi to sign a contract with a mainland agency, and then everything changed. And the development was not as good as the original timeline, then he had good intentions but did something bad.

In addition, he also knew that Yang Mi was a very opinionated person.

So, just make an excuse.

When Yang Mi heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. I told you all this to get your help in making decisions, but all you do is eat!"

She didn't dare say this in front of Wang Shu and could only complain in her heart.

"I'm quite conflicted now and don't know which side to choose." Yang Mi said in a low voice.

When Wang Shu heard this, he knew that Yang Mi had most likely already made up her mind to sign a contract with a Hong Kong agency.

Because these days, Hong Kong Island is still in the situation where a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and a bunch of mainland actors are still trying to squeeze into the Hong Kong circle.

Then he said, "This is related to your career development. Besides, I don't know much about these things, so it's better for you to make the decision yourself."

Yang Mi curled her lips again after hearing this.

As a great director, how could Wang Shu not have some knowledge about this?
Obviously he is trying to shirk his responsibility.

As for the reason for shirking responsibility, Yang Mi also had her own ideas.

No matter what, it's nothing more than worrying that if she signs with the corresponding agency and her career doesn't improve, she will inevitably be blamed.

Yang Mi silently complained in her heart. Not long after, dinner was over, and then the two went to the movie circle to watch the movie "Midnight Taxi".

Sitting in the cinema, as the film was playing, Yang Mi was so scared that she suddenly grabbed Wang Shu's hand.

At this moment, Wang Shu couldn't help wondering if Yang Mi wanted to watch this movie on purpose and take advantage of the opportunity.
In Wang Shu's opinion, "Midnight Taxi" is not scary.

But, after all, there is a somewhat terrifying atmosphere, and Yang Mi's behavior is reasonable.

However, her motivation for choosing to watch this movie in the cinema is worth considering.

As the movie continued, Yang Mi seemed to become more and more nervous. She not only pulled Wang Shu's hand, but also pulled Wang Shu's hand to her leg and held it.

"ah!"

With the sudden appearance of the high-energy shot, Yang Mi was so frightened that she threw herself into Wang Shu's arms.

"." Wang Shu looked at the picture on the screen and scratched his head.

Is it that scary?

no?
"I'm scared~" Yang Mi whispered in Wang Shu's arms.

Wang Shu sighed, then stroked Yang Mi's head and comforted her, "It's okay."

After a while, Yang Mi looked up and looked at Wang Shu eagerly.

This look sends an ambiguous signal.

The movie ended and the two walked out of the cinema.

Yang Mi said in a low voice: "I broke up with my boyfriend."

"?" Wang Shu looked puzzled after hearing that.

Of course he was aware of the subtext of these words, but that didn't stop him from pretending to be confused.

When Yang Mi saw Wang Shu like this, she felt that Wang Shu was too ignorant of romance. She immediately got angry and said in a low voice, "I'm going back."

"Okay, I'll take you there." Wang Shu replied.

"." Yang Mi was speechless.

The cinema is some distance away from Yang Mi's home. On the way to send Yang Mi back home, Yang Mi had already managed her emotions.

She secretly glanced at Wang Shu several times, and finally said aloud: "The movie is so scary. I will definitely have nightmares and can't sleep at night if I am alone."

Wang Shu listened to her and continued to ask in a nonchalant manner: "Don't you live with your parents? You don't live alone, you're with your family, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

"." Yang Mi choked.

After a pause, he asked again, "Aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Wang Shu asked manly.

"."Yang Mi.

After taking a deep breath, Yang Mi continued, "I thought you would be scared, so I planned to accompany you."

Hearing this, Wang Shu turned his head and smiled back, saying, "It's okay. I'm not afraid at all."

"." Yang Mi was completely speechless and looked out the car window with a gloomy face.

I hinted at it again and again, but the person next to me didn't understand.

Tired of heart!

Not long after, Wang Shu sent Yang Mi back.

Yang Mi stood on the side of the road and watched Wang Shu drive away, and couldn't help stamping her feet in anger.

Wang Shu returned to the villa and took a shower just as Mei Ting came over.

It’s not that he didn’t understand what Yang Mi meant, but Mei Ting had already told him that she would come to his house in the evening.

Since I can't be in two places at night, I might as well maintain my personal image.

"Do you like it?" Mei Ting came out of the bathroom, wearing a very sexy outfit, leaning against the door and asked with a smile on her face.

Although it is very cold in Beijing in January, Wang Shu's villa has heating.

Not cold at all.

Therefore, even though Mei Ting was wearing such cool clothes, she would not shiver from the cold.

"I like it." Wang Shu's eyes lit up when he saw Mei Ting's outfit.

"I knew you would like it." Mei Ting bit her lip and made a joke.

Wang Shu chuckled and walked over impatiently.

Immediately after
1 month 18 day.

One month after Pacific Rim was released, the mainland cinemas achieved a box office of 10.35 billion yuan.

This data once again shocked the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau.

The emergence of this box office has caused a stir in the domestic film industry.

In just one month, anyone working in the film industry has clearly felt that there are many more investors in the circle.

Some are from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Beijing, and some are bosses from other industries in China who come here to invest out of envy.

In short, the film industry suddenly became lively.

In addition to earning 10.35 billion yuan in box office in mainland China, "Pacific Rim" also earned 2.25 million US dollars in North America.

This time, "Pacific Rim" is directed by Oscar-winning director Wang Shu, and stars Chen Long as the lead actor. The special effects are indeed excellent, the publicity and promotion are in place, the number of screens is guaranteed, and so on.

Thanks to various factors, the film achieved a box office revenue of 2.25 million US dollars in North America.

Even though it only grossed 2.25 million, it is actually considered a high-grossing movie in North America.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take “Twilight” as an example. It has earned more than 100 million US dollars at the North American box office, which can be called a hit movie.

Of course, compared to the investment, "Twilight" has made money in North American box office alone. Add to that overseas box office and so on, the producers have indeed made a lot of money.

There's nothing wrong with calling it a hit movie.

Pacific Rim, by contrast, is somewhat different.

Because, if we only count the box office in North America, "Pacific Rim" has not recovered its investment cost.

However, if it is counted as a global box office, it not only recovers the cost but also makes a lot of money.

Except for China and North America, which were released one after the other, other regions released the film a little later.

In other words, some regions are just starting to release the film now.

But no matter what, the global box office has exceeded 5.5 million US dollars.

And it is expected to reach 6 million US dollars!
