During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 104 The first meeting with Master Liu

In an office of Tangren Film and Television Company in Magic City.

"Master, don't be too nervous, I'm just going to have a meal."

Miss Cai was comforting Master Liu. It was a coincidence that today, she planned to invite Wei Jin to dinner and connect with each other. Who knew that Master Liu was also here, so he planned to take her with him.

"Sister K, what's wrong? You invite guests and I go to figure it out."

At this time, Master Liu had just turned 19 and had just graduated from Beijing Dance University. He originally planned to be a dance teacher. Unexpectedly, by chance, he had appeared in two TV series in recent years, and he also had a yearning for the entertainment industry.

Liu Shishi and Ms. Cai met in 2002. Sugar Man has been contacting her over the years and wanted to sign a contract. She was also a little tempted. This time she came here just to talk about the treatment.

"It's okay. You must know this person. The great director who just won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, Wei Jin."

Hearing Master Liu's retreat, Miss Cai introduced today's guests.

"Ah, is that the director who made "Those Years"? Many students from our school went to watch it at that time."

Liu Shishi didn't think much of Palme d'Or. Instead, he praised Wei Jin's debut novel. Maybe young girls really liked it.

"Yes, he came to Shanghai to participate in the TV Festival. This is a rare opportunity. If you can catch his eye, the road ahead will be much easier."

Miss Cai sounded like she was thinking about Master Liu, and seemed to have seen an opportunity to cooperate with Wei Jin.

"Sister K, I listen to you, it's just about eating, nothing else, right?"

Master Liu was not a newbie who didn't know anything. He took vaccinations in advance. It wasn't that he didn't trust Miss Cai, it was just a girl's habit.

"Aren't you still worried about me? Nothing else. I'm just going to join in the fun. Hu Ge will come over later. Just rest assured, I still want to sign you."

"That's good"

Miss Cai took Master Liu to the hot pot restaurant that had been booked in advance, entered the private room, and started calling to urge Hu Ge.

After a while, Hu Ge walked in and was a little surprised when he saw Master Liu:

"Mr. Cai, who is this?"

Miss Cai immediately explained and introduced the two to each other, and the three of them began to wait for Wei Jin's arrival.

Not long after, a tall man wearing sunglasses and sportswear walked into the private room.

"Mr. Cai, you are really too enthusiastic. Every time you come to Magic City, you treat me to dinner. I feel uneasy."

How could Wei and Jin not know what Miss Cai was thinking, but it was hard to refuse such kindness. They were already in the devil's capital, so they had to give her face no matter what.

As he spoke, he took off his sunglasses and discovered that there was another woman in the private room.

"Mr. Wei, it's rare for you to come to Magic City once. I must do my best to be a landlord. Come to Mr. Wei, let me introduce you. This is Master Liu, a graduate of Beijing Dance University, who is about to sign with Sugar Man."

Ms. Cai has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years and has a very good sense of people and worldliness.

"Master, this is Mr. Wei I told you about."

"Hello, Mr. Wei, I am Master Liu, please take care of me."

At this time, Master Liu was not as comfortable as before in Tangren's office, and he looked a little shy.

"Hello, Miss Liu, nice to meet you."

Wei Jin naturally knew Liu Shishi, and not everyone in the entertainment industry could use the nickname "People are as pale as chrysanthemums".

Then Hu Ge said hello from across the distance. The two of them had known each other for many years, so there was no need to be formal.

After some pleasantries, they finally took their seats. Liu Shishi and Miss Cai sat next to Wei Jin on the left and right. Wei Jin didn't care about so much and was ready to start eating.

Hu Ge was very discerning and went to help mix the seasonings. Miss Cai started repeating the same old tune and asked about the movie.

"Mr. Cai, it's not as simple as you think. Don't talk about me. For well-known directors, the share of the project has already been determined. Without the corresponding resources, you can't get on the train." He then told Ms. Cai the industry rules. What he said can be said to be from the bottom of his heart.

"So, Sugar Man can only invest in those unknown directors? Do projects on his own?"

Ms. Cai felt a little embarrassed. The risks in the film and television industry were very high. Investing in an unknown director would basically be in vain.

"Then Director Wei, can you help me think of a solution?"

Master Liu looked at Miss Cai's depressed mood and couldn't help but said:

"Well, Miss Liu, in the film industry, you have to either ride on someone else's train or form your own bureau. There is no other way."

Wei Jin didn't fool them either. The truth is this. Good projects will not lead you, and projects that lead you will most likely suffer losses.

"Director Wei, please call me Shishi. Isn't it even possible?"

Since Liu Shishi plans to sign a contract with Sugar Man, she also hopes that the company can enter the film industry. When she first watched "Those Years", she had envied Liu Yifei for a long time. Seeing that Wei Jin was not disgusted with her interruption, she couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

Miss Cai on the side also looked at Wei Jin longingly. Wei Jin suddenly felt that the tripe in the bowl was no longer fragrant. This was because he was being cannibalistic.

"Mr. Cai, let's do this. If you really plan to get involved in the film industry, let me give you some suggestions."

Seeing that Wei Jin was willing to give advice, Miss Cai was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly for Wei Jin to continue, secretly saying that she was the right person to bring Master Liu here.

"Sugar Man can make a small-budget movie by himself. As long as he chooses the right direction, he can make some money. Then he can use this as an opportunity to slowly develop contacts and resources in the circle, and one day he can break into the circle."

"Mr. Wei, what should we do specifically?"

Miss Cai was so thirsty for knowledge that she wished Wei Jin could give her two golden ideas.

"According to my observation, there are currently very few suspense and horror movies on the market, and the market space is huge. Of course, this has something to do with the review, but as long as the scale is grasped and the cost is controlled, there is a chance to operate."

Wei Jin did not fool Ms. Cai. There is indeed a gap in the market.

"Sugar Man can look for scripts in this area. Director Xiangjiang is also good at shooting this type of subject. Mr. Cai is more familiar with this aspect than me."

"Can Mr. Wei work together? Sugarman is not good at script mining."

Miss Cai had already made up her mind to bring Wei Jin in to cooperate. As for the cost, she glanced at Master Liu next to her.

"Mr. Cai is joking. If I make such a low-budget movie, my colleagues in the industry will laugh at me."

Some people admire Ms. Cai's imagination. Who is Wei Jin? It's impossible for Wei Jin to direct the company's small-budget movies now, let alone cooperating with Sugar Man?
  "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for your advice. Master, Hu Ge, come, let's toast Mr. Wei together."

Seeing that this time it would not work, but she had already received enough advice from Wei Jin, Miss Cai was not in a hurry and took her time. This was not much better than when they first met, not to mention she found that she seemed to have touched Wei Jin's veins.

Then the banquet started to get lively. Master Liu kept picking up dishes for Wei Jin. Under the heat of the hot pot, his little face turned red and he looked a bit cute.

"Mr. Wei, Hu Ge has been honing his acting skills in the drama club during this period. Do you think he has a chance to star in your movie?"

Seeing that the table was halfway through, Ms. Cai recommended her own artist again. In fact, Hu Ge had already appeared in the movie "601 Calls", but it had not been released yet, but Wei Jin's movie was completely different.

"Well, I haven't seen it specifically, but judging from the performance in "The Flying Fairy", that's definitely not possible."

When Wei Jin was accompanying several women before, he occasionally caught a glimpse of this TV series. Hu Ge's acting skills were still too superficial.

"Mr. Wei, our company will soon release "Legend of the Condor Heroes". When the time comes, you can come and see Hu Ge's acting skills. He will definitely improve."

Miss Cai frantically called for her artist, but her words reminded Wei Jin that something was about to happen.

Wei Jin didn't remember the specific time of Hu Ge's car accident, but he knew that it was during the filming of "The Condor Shooting" that they met him, and he was thinking about how to remind him.

"I heard that observing all living beings will help improve your acting skills. Hu Ge, if you really want to enter the film industry, you might as well give it a try. Don't be alone recently. You can also choose transportation with a lot of people when traveling to facilitate observation. "

What Wei Jin said was incomprehensible, but he secretly said in his heart: I can only help you so far.
