During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 105 Trip to Xiangjiang
  "Sister Mani, are we going to meet Mr. Yang now?"

Wei Jin sat in the Mercedes-Benz and looked at the city. Although he had been here several times in his previous life, he had never seen the scenery of Hong Kong in 2006. What's more, the scene of the paparazzi chasing him all the way just now was rare in the mainland. .

Although he was admiring the scenery, Wei Jin was thinking about the Magic City Film Festival two days ago.

At this film festival, mentor Tian Zhuangzhuang served as the chairman of the jury for the Asian Newcomer Award. Wei Jin happened to be in Shanghai and went to support him.

However, what he saw at the scene was an eye-opener for him, and he made up his mind not to get involved in domestic film festivals in the future.

Except for "Tengu" which won the Jury Prize, all other important awards were given to foreign films.

The Best Actress award that had been held for eight years in the past was gone this time. This is when the show truly went global, at least that's what the organizers said.

However, Wei Jin found it a bit ironic. Many awards were given to foreign stars in various ways. They arrived only a few hours before the award ceremony, but they could still win an artistic contribution award. No wonder the media was complaining about it.

"Yes, Wei Sheng, Yang Sheng has prepared a reception banquet for you at the Peninsula Hotel."

As the artist director of Yinghuang, Huo Wenxi came to pick him up in person this time, which shows that Yang Shoucheng attaches great importance to this cooperation.

Smelling the scent of perfume coming from around him, Wei Jin nodded and looked at this beautiful mature woman in her thirties with outstanding grace.

"Sister Mani, given your appearance, why didn't you debut a few years ago?"

"Wei Sheng is joking. There are so many beauties in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry. How can I be ranked? I won't join in the fun."

As if aware of Wei Jin's appreciation for her, Huo Wenxi felt a little complacent in her heart, with a smile on her face, but her words were very modest.

"This time when Wei Sheng comes to Xiangjiang, he can stay for a while and experience the customs of Xiangjiang."

Xiangjiang is a place full of legends. Although the entertainment industry is no longer glorious, there are many familiar names, and Wei Jin is really looking forward to it.

As the car drove all the way to the Peninsula Hotel, the news of Wei Jin's arrival in Xiangjiang was already on the news.

"Wei Jin, the great mainland director and Cannes Palme d'Or winner, arrived in Hong Kong today."

"Yinghuang Artist Director Huo Wenxi personally picked us up at the airport!"

"Wei Jin and Yinghuang personnel met at the Peninsula Hotel"

When the car stopped, Wei Jin looked at the hotel in front of him, which was known as the lady of the Far East, and felt a little emotional. The Magic City and Xiangjiang of that era were full of stories.

"Wei Sheng, please come this way."

Following Huo Wenxi into the hotel, not long after, the two of them arrived at the place and met the real owner.

"Mr. Wei, long time no see. Congratulations on winning the Palme d'Or in Cannes."

Yang Shoucheng wears glasses and looks gentle and somewhat elegant.

"Mr. Yang, you're all well and good. Mr. Yang, please pay more attention to the release of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" next month."

There has been a good cooperation, and Wei Jin does not mind temporarily entrusting all the distribution business in Xiangjiang to Yinghuang before his own distribution channel is established. Yang Shoucheng is also willing to cooperate.

"Mr. Wei's words are serious. You should use money to do things. That's how it should be."

Yang Shoucheng smiled. The capital was too far away for him to reach. When he came to Xiangjiang, Yinghuang still had a lot of weight.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they took their seats. In the huge private room, there were only the three of them and a table full of sumptuous delicacies.

"When Mr. Wei sent the message a few days ago, Yang was very happy. He had never had the opportunity to participate in Mr. Wei's project. This time he finally got what he wanted."

Today's Xiangjiang film and television industry is in decline, and Yinghuang, as a Hong Kong entertainment giant, will inevitably decline accordingly. Going north to seek cooperation is the only way out.

However, over the years, Yinghuang has successively invested in many mainland filmmakers and participated in many projects, but it has never entered the mainland market. This time Wei Jin accepted the invitation, and Yang Shoucheng was really happy.

"Mr. Yang is very polite. The previous cooperation with Yinghuang was very pleasant. I am also looking forward to this cooperation."

Among the several co-production projects that Wei Jin plans to launch, it would be best to cooperate with influential local companies in Xiangjiang. So far, he has a good impression of Yinghuang.

When Yang Shoucheng heard this, he raised his glasses and motioned to Huo Wenxi to go aside and open the red wine.

"Mr. Wei, I wonder how much investment is involved in this project, and how much Yinghuang can participate?"

"Mr. Yang, don't you think it's just one project?"

Wei Jin's expression was a little playful, Yang Shoucheng's dream was a little small.

"Seriously? Mr. Wei, how do you plan to cooperate?"

Yang Shoucheng looked surprised, but he didn't expect Wei Jin to directly give him a big gift.

"Mr. Yang can read the script first, and then we can discuss the follow-up matters."

Wei Jin said, handing over the script that had been prepared in his briefcase, and then took the red wine from Huo Wenxi, looking a little leisurely.

Ten minutes later, Yang Shoucheng put down the script and made up his mind that he had voted for these two projects. “Mr. Wei, you can tell me your thoughts first.”

"The copyright belongs to me. Yinghuang can invest 40% of the share, but Yinghuang is responsible for the crew."

Wei Jin does not intend to direct it himself. Many directors in Hong Kong are good at films such as "New World" and "Ip Man", and some films have that flavor only when they were made in Hong Kong.

"I have no objection to the copyright, but this share is a bit too small."

Yang Shoucheng frowned. Since the project was handed over to Yinghuang, wouldn't he even be given the controlling position?
  "Mr. Yang, Mr. Han doesn't know about these two projects yet."

As soon as Wei Jin's words came out, Yang Shoucheng immediately understood. Regardless of whether China Film was involved or not, 40% of Yinghuang was already stable. Any more would be greedy. You must know that the mountain eagle is not just for fun, so it is better to leave it to Wei Jin.

"Okay, Mr. Wei, happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

At the dinner table, Yang Shoucheng proposed to hold a banquet and also introduced some actors and filmmakers from Xiangjiang to Wei Jin, so that they might have the opportunity to collaborate in the future.

"Mr. Yang, the banquet can be held, but some people are not ideologically aware enough and have crooked buttocks, so don't call them over."

Wei Jin's words stunned Yang Shoucheng and Huo Wenxi, and then Yang Shoucheng realized:
  "I understand Mr. Wei's intention. Don't worry, I will make arrangements."

Just stick to some words and it will be a feast for both the guest and the host in one meal.

"The nightlife in Xiangjiang is very rich. Is Mr. Wei interested in going there?"

After the meal, Yang Shoucheng extended an invitation.

Wei Jin was also a little curious about this, and nodded and agreed happily.

"Wenxi, please come together and arrange some manpower."

The nightlife in Xiangjiang is indeed rich. People are coming and going on the streets, which is much more lively than in the mainland at night.

"Mr. Wei, do you want to go to a place that young people like?"

"That's not necessary. I don't really like noisy places. Let's just walk around."

Yang Shoucheng and Wei Jin walked on the street together, followed by Huo Wenxi and several bodyguards.

It was quite interesting to listen to Yang Shoucheng chatting about the gossip of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry along the way, at least the authenticity was guaranteed.

Xiangjiang is not a big place, but you can meet many celebrities in some iconic places and attractions.

Several people walked around to watch. Yang Shoucheng saw that it was getting late, Wei and Jin were also lacking in interest, and his goal had been achieved, so he gave instructions:

"Wenxi, please send Mr. Wei back to rest. Make sure to make arrangements."

"Okay, Mr. Yang, Mr. Wei, please come here."

Huo Wenxi opened the car door, while Yang Shoucheng stood aside and said goodbye:
  "Mr. Wei, enjoy the night in Xiangjiang and wish you sweet dreams."

After waving goodbye to Huo Wenxi, Wei Jin took the room card and opened the door. Just as he was about to take off his clothes and take a shower, he saw someone already lying on the bed. He couldn't help but feel a little wary, knowing that Xiangjiang is not a safe place.

"who are you?"

In the dim light, Wei Jin could not see the man's face clearly.

"Hello, Wei Sheng. Sister Mani arranged for me to come here. My name is Wen Yongshan."

A woman who looked a little weak and childish stood up and explained awkwardly:

Wei Jin was a little speechless. This was what Yang Shoucheng said about the arrangement, but was this arrangement too small? Are you an adult?

"How old are you?"

"Almost 18."

Although she didn't understand what Wei Jin meant, Wen Yongshan still answered honestly:
  "Isn't that underage? Come out quickly and just say what I mean. Sister Mani won't say anything."

Wei Jin didn't want to commit a crime, but he still left a way out for the girl.

"Wei Sheng, people here in Xiangjiang are adults at the age of 16."

Wen Yongshan had a slight liking for the handsome man in front of her, at least he was a man with a bottom line.

But Wei Jin is not very interested in little girls. He likes older ones.

As if aware of Wei Jin's thoughts, Wen Yongshan was a little anxious, and then thought of Sister Mani's instructions, thinking that as long as she served this person well, the company would definitely praise her in the future, Wen Yongshan slowly squatted down.
