During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 116 Princess Yushu and the premiere of "The Night Banquet"

As the male actors entered the training stage, Wei Jin began to have a headache about choosing female characters.

There are many women around me who are suitable for the heroine, including Gao Yuanyuan, Fan Bingbing, Liu Yan, and Yan Danchen.

However, Gao Yuanyuan has already appeared in two Wei and Jin movies in a row. If we arrange it again, this relationship will not be hidden.

The same is true for Fan Bingbing. After all, he is not his own artist, so what if he takes too much care of him?

As for Liu Yan, her acting skills are just a little bit poor. As the heroine, she can only focus on one person with outstanding talent.

Yan Danchen has not contacted Wei Jin since the last threesome, and Wei Jin was too lazy to ask for trouble.

In the end, after Wei Jin thought about it for a while, he still chose Liu Yan. There were not many female leads in this drama, and there was no need to find a popular actress. Wei Jin himself was the star.

As for the other female supporting role, Wei Jin left it to the artist department to arrange it himself. Who knew that Zhang Xu actually recommended an unexpected candidate to him.

Chen Dong is 20 years old and was originally a student at Northern Shaanxi University of Political Science and Law.

At the beginning of this year, the senior sister in school saw her outstanding talent and beautiful appearance, so she quietly helped her sign up for CCTV's civilian talent show "Dream China". With the musical instruments she had practiced since she was a child and her own conditions, Chen Dong actually successfully entered the eighth grade. powerful.

Although she was unfortunately eliminated in the end, she was favored by Zhang Xu, who was looking for new talents everywhere, and Ying Huang from Xiangjiang also extended an olive branch to her.

But when Zhang Xu revealed his identity, Chen Dong's choice became very simple. Instead of going to Xiangjiang, a place he was unfamiliar with and slowly trying to make a name for himself, it was better to join Wei Jin Company, which was very popular in the industry.

You know, as a native of northern Shaanxi, Chen Dong is naturally familiar with Wei Jin, a well-known director who came out of his hometown.

So under Zhang Xu's operation, Chen Dong successfully became an artist under Weijin Fengliu Film and Television Company.

Early in the morning, Chen Dong came to the company and heard Director Zhang saying on the phone that the boss wanted to see her.

After meeting Zhang Xu, Chen Dong felt a little excited and a little nervous when he learned that he had the opportunity to star in Wei Jin's new work.

"Don't be nervous. The boss is very easy to talk to. With your conditions, it will be no problem."

As a recommender, Zhang Xu naturally hopes that the newly signed artists will be appreciated by the boss, which is also recognition of his work.

The first time he saw Chen Dong on TV, Zhang Xu felt that this girl had celebrity looks. After meeting her, he admired her excellent knowledge and scholarly atmosphere. You must know that most stars in the entertainment industry have received nine-year compulsory education. There are really very few fish that slip through the net, like Chen Dong, who are good at both learning and studying.

So Zhang Xu signed her without hesitation, even though he had the right to report it to his boss.

"Well, Director Zhang, I'll do my best."

As if to cheer himself up, Chen Dong took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

The two quickly arrived at Wei Jin's office.

"Mr. Wei, I have brought over the newly signed artists. Take a look."

"Sit down first, I'll draw the shots later."

Wei Jin greeted without raising his head, and then he was immersed in work again.

Zhang Xu did not interrupt when he heard this, and took Chen Dong to sit quietly on the sofa and wait.

The longer she waited for Chen Dong, the more nervous she became. After all, this was her first time meeting a big shot like Wei Jin.

However, this moment of silence also gave Chen Dong the opportunity to observe Wei Jin carefully. His broken hair looked very energetic, his facial features were sharp and angular, and he was very handsome. Especially the masculine charm that he exuded when he was focused on work made her blush a little. .

"Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time. Hey, your name is Chen Dong?"

After finishing some work, Wei Jin raised his head to say hello, but the woman who caught his eye surprised him:

"Yes, Mr. Wei, I am Chen Dong, from northern Shaanxi, and I am a sophomore this year."

Although Chen Dong was nervous, he was still the Youth League Secretary of the school and did not show any timidity. He was just a little curious as to why the boss seemed to know her.

Most stars in the entertainment industry have stage names, but Wei Jin was not familiar with the industry in his previous life, so he would not know who used a stage name. Chen Dong in front of him is a good example.

Wei Jin looked at Chen Dong's familiar face and sighed with emotion, Princess Yushu has also become her own artist?
  Yes, Chen Dong is Bai Bin in her previous life. If Zhang Xu had not appeared, she would have joined Yinghuang and adopted the stage name Bai Bin at Yang Shoucheng's suggestion.

"Mr. Wei, take a look, I think her temperament has a classical flavor, which should meet the requirements of the role." Seeing Wei Jin's silence, Zhang Xu couldn't help but speak up to fight for Chen Dong.

When Wei Jin heard this, he also took back his thoughts and began to look at the image of this girl. I have to say that she is indeed very beautiful, and she really has such a classical charm. The ancient costume should be particularly elegant, and most importantly, it is enough to impress Wei Jin. aesthetics.

"Well, I don't have to say anything about her appearance. Okay, just her. But the name Chen Dong is too masculine. Let's give it a stage name."

Zhang Yan's role doesn't have many roles. If Zhang Xu hadn't emphasized that she was a newly signed artist, Wei Jin would not have met her. However, after the meeting, Wei Jin had new ideas.
  "Director Zhang, does Mr. Wei want me to be his assistant after this drama?"

Chen Dong, no, she should be called Bai Bin now, it was the stage name given to her by Wei Jin, otherwise it would always feel a bit awkward.

"This is your luck. Mr. Wei's former assistant Liu Yanqian knows, right?"

Zhang Xu lamented Bai Bin's good luck. He had recommended several assistant candidates before, but Wei Jin didn't take any fancy to them.

"I have only been an assistant to Mr. Wei for half a year, and now I am the host of a popular variety show. I heard that there will be a variety show in the future, and this drama will also have a heroine, so seize the opportunity. Mr. Wei will not force others to do anything. On the contrary, Whatever you like, Mr. Wei will help you."

Zhang Xu's words are absolutely true. Following the example of Liu Yan, Wei Jin's assistant can be regarded as a relatively high starting point in the industry.

Bai Bin is still an amateur and doesn't understand the cruelty of the entertainment industry, so he just nodded ignorantly.

On September 9, Wei Jin was invited to attend the premiere of "The Night Banquet", and this time his female companion was Bai Bin.

This premiere was very big, with an open-air ceremony held at Oriental Plaza.

As a big boss of the party, Wei Jin almost picked it up, but he still attracted the attention of the media:

"Director Wei, what do you think of "The Night Banquet"?"

"Of course I sit and watch. I'm just kidding, I haven't watched the movie yet, so how can I comment on it? I'll tell you after watching it."

"."

Ignoring the reporters, Wei Jin led Bai Bin to the arranged venue smoothly, and was soon greeted by Mr. Xiao Wang:

"Mr. Wei, welcome, thank you for coming."

"Mr. Xiao Wang, you're too polite. You don't need to greet me. We're all in the circle. I'll go around by myself."

Wei Jin didn't plan to find anyone to accompany him, so he took Bai Bin to find a seat and waited quietly.

From time to time, celebrities and big names in the industry would come over to say hello, but it seemed that Wei Jin had no desire to talk, nor did he deliberately strike up a conversation. This also allowed Bai Bin to truly see the energy of his boss.

Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming, as today's main creative team, of course also came to express their gratitude to Wei Jin for their support.

After some exchanges, the premiere began soon
  After the premiere, Wei Jin and Bai Bin hurriedly left, being chased by the media for interviews.

"Mr. Wei, what's wrong with this movie?"

On the way to leave, Bai Bin always felt that he did not understand the movie, so he asked:

"Are you trying to say that you don't understand? Or do you think it doesn't look good?"

"No, how can Director Feng's movie not be good? It's probably because I didn't understand it."

As a newcomer, Bai Bin did not dare to question the great director.

"You don't have to do this in front of me. This is just a bad movie. What the hell was it made?"

Wei Jin did not shy away from saying that this film was indeed bad, an Eastern version of "Hamlet", neither fish nor fowl.

The key lines are also very shocking. It is obviously a serious subject, but it has the effect of a comedy. I can only say that he is worthy of Feng Dapao, and his humor is deeply rooted in his blood.

The performance of the audience at subsequent screenings also confirmed Wei Jin’s views. In the words of the media:

The lines in "The Night Banquet" can compete with "The Promise"!
  Perfunctory and vulgar, pretentious, pretentious, and ignorant.
