During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 130 Jing Tian’s thoughts and new investment projects

"Brother Wei Jin, can I go to North America with you during the Oscars?"

Jing Tian tilted his little head and looked at Wei Jin expectantly.

The Oscar nominations were announced on January 1, and "Room" received four nominations including Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay.

Naturally, the media is covering it like crazy, but the industry has become a little numb. This film has been collecting awards for almost eight months, and it has already become too weak to win awards. Netizens can no longer get excited.

It is worth mentioning that on the same day, the 57th Berlin Film Festival also announced the shortlist for the main competition unit. "Search" was on the list. For a time, both Nortel masters and apprentices were nominated for international awards, which was praised as a good talk.

Sister Yuanyuan is full of expectations for the trip to Berlin in half a month, and is even prepared that if she really wins the award, the three of them will follow Wei Jin.

"Why do you want to go with me?"

It was already the end of January. After the Golden Ball, Wei Jin took Xiaobai and Li Jie to visit North America for a week. During this period, he naturally unlocked a new trio. He did not return to China until the Oscar nominations were announced.

"Room" has been officially released in China. Thanks to its win at the Golden Globe Awards, the box office reached 1.58 million, setting a record for domestic literary films.

The same is true in North America, with the box office reaching 5845 million U.S. dollars. It is much more cost-effective to directly release Wei Jin this time than to sell out the copyright, and it is almost a profit.

However, what is a little uncomfortable is that the subsequent copyright may not be sold because it has been released in China, piracy is rampant, and film studios are not enthusiastic about buying it. Wei Jin is also helpless about this.

"I'm going over to promote the single, and I'll go live to see you receive the award. I didn't feel anything like it when I watched it online before."

Jing Tian put his arms around Wei Jin's neck and sat on him, as if coquettishly.

"Dream It Possible" has been released for one month and has already entered the top 20 of the Billboard. The ranking is still slowly rising. Warner also hopes that Jing Tian can go over to promote it and increase its effect.

"But you're not from the crew, what should you do if you can't get in?"

Wei Jin didn't want the little girl to eagerly follow him to North America, only to be turned away and unable to enter the venue.

"Brother Wei Jin, don't worry about this guy. There is always a way to get in."

Jing Tian already had a plan in mind. He would give Wei Jin a surprise when the time came, and he also had to be on guard against that woman Zeng Li.

"Okay, if you don't know the place in North America by then, I will sell you."

"I don't believe it. You must be reluctant to let go, huh."

The two flirted and flirted and kissed each other unknowingly.

"Hu Tiantian, you want to suffocate me to death."

Wei Jin let out a long sigh of relief.

"Hmph, who told you to do mischief?"

A hint of cunning flashed across Jing Tian's reddish face, and she was secretly happy about Wei Jin's behavior.

"Tiantian, you haven't seen my badness yet."

As Wei Jin spoke, he stretched out his devil's hand, and the little girl's body felt different.

"Yeah, it's time, the TV series is about to start."

Jing Tian dodges excitedly and changes the subject.

Today is the premiere day of "Zhu Xian". The filming of this drama took less than three months, and the post-production took nearly three months.

As soon as the news of the completion of the film came out, many TV stations competed for it. The drama was eventually picked up by Suzhou TV Station, which had always wanted to cooperate with Wei Jin Company. The price of a single episode was as high as 140 million. The drama has a total of 50 episodes. The first round of sales The show's revenue alone reached 7000 million.

As the theme song ends, the story officially unfolds.

"Wow, the picture quality is great, the colors are so bright."

This is the first time for Jing Tian to see the finished film, but he already has confidence in the TV series.

"Of course, the production of Shanhe Ink took more than two months, and the post-production alone cost no less than 20 million."

The most attractive points of this kind of costume fairy tale drama are the appearance, painting style, special effects, and finally the plot. Therefore, Wei Jin communicated with the director before filming, and even participated in the split-shot script, just to control it. Quality, he didn't want to ruin the brand.

Including post-production, the purpose of spending such a large amount of money is to demonstrate the technology of Shanhe ink to companies in the industry.

After more than a year of technology accumulation, many groups of technicians have been sent to study in the digital field. It is unceremonious to say that the technology of Shanhe Ink is close to the first-class special effects companies in Hollywood, which means there is still some gap between it and the top major brands. However, Wei Jin believed that he would catch up sooner or later.

As the plot gradually unfolds, a world of fairy tales is revealed.
  After the two episodes were played, Jing Tian was still a little unfinished. She only appeared in the second episode. Within a few minutes of going online, the TV ended.

"Tiantian, you look pretty good in this outfit. Can you show me what you wear next time?"

Seeing the TV series end, Wei Jin began to have some thoughts. You must know that it is already dark outside, and it is inconvenient for boys to go out at night.

"Brother Wei Jin, it's time for you to go home."

Jing Tian smiled and pulled Wei Jin to the door:

"Tiantian, it's so late, do you really don't need me to stay with you?"

Wei Jin was still struggling, but his performance was upright.

"No need, brother Wei Jin. There are nannies and bodyguards at home. I'm very safe. Go back quickly and be careful on the road."

Jing Tian actually didn't want to be separated from the man he loved, but it was always inconvenient at home, and his parents would probably know about it soon.

Seeing that Jing Tian was very serious, Wei Jin didn't want to be rude to the beautiful woman. There was only a long time to come, not to mention that the girl was still so young, so she was really not in a hurry. After Wei Jin waved goodbye, Jing Tian closed the door and made a decision in his heart.
  Teacher Jiang rarely called Wei Jin. After some thought, he chose the teahouse near the school as the place to meet.

"Teacher Jiang, why are you so anxious to find me?"

As soon as he entered the private room, Wei Jin asked about business without noticing the third person.

"I'm not looking for you, it's Professor Cao."

As Jiang Wei opened his mouth, Wei Jin discovered that there was a middle-aged man in Mao suit also in the private room.

"Wei Jin, this is Professor Cao Baoping Cao who teaches film screenwriting."

Seeing that Wei Jin seemed a little unable to react, Jiang Wei opened his mouth and introduced:

"Hello, Teacher Cao, I'm sorry."

Wei Jin was really embarrassed. He had too little time to go to school and didn't know many of the teachers.

"It's okay, I was abrupt today."

Teacher Cao is very friendly, and there are many people like Wei Jin in the school who don't know him.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Teacher Cao explained his purpose:
  "I wrote a script myself and wanted to direct it myself, which is about investment."

"That's no problem. Doesn't the school have a foundation?"

Wei Jin didn't react for a moment. The foundation was established to help school teachers and students make movies.

"Ahem, Wei Jin, the investment in Teacher Cao's book is a bit big."

Jiang Wei added, if the investment had not exceeded the limit, he would not have opened this mouth.

"Can you show me the script, Mr. Cao?"

Wei Jin didn't immediately ask about the amount of investment. If the script could pass the test for him, it wouldn't matter how much investment he made. On the contrary, he would have to feel sorry for the teacher.

Teacher Cao had already prepared it and handed over the script. Wei Jin took it and read "Li Mi's Hypothesis". He immediately knew what movie it was and secretly said that the words he said at the graduation ceremony finally had some effect.

"Teacher Cao, how much is the investment?"

"Probably around 10 million."

Cao Baoping naturally made a budget, but he was worried that the investment would be too large and Wei Jin would not accept it.

"No problem, Teacher Cao, don't look for anyone else. I'm all in."

For Wei Jin, 10 million is not a drop in the bucket. Besides, Wei Jin has seen this movie in his previous life. Not to mention how good it is, at least it can repay the money. At least it has the effect of buying a horse bone with a thousand gold.

"Thank you then, Wei Jin. Do you have any suggestions for actors?"

Cao Baoping said this very politely. In fact, he has already contacted some actors.

"No, Teacher Cao, just follow your idea, that is, change the name of the script. It might as well be called "Li Mi's Conjecture"."

As an investor, Wei Jin made a suggestion that was not considered a suggestion, and Cao Baoping naturally followed suit.

Seeing that the official conversation was over, several people began to talk about Oscar in Wei and Jin Dynasties:

"Wei Jin, are you sure about Oscar? You master and apprentice stole the show this time."

Teacher Jiang said this with a bit of emotion and a bit of envy.

Many people who were nominated for "Search" thought that Gian Zhuangzhuang took advantage of the script, and they all envied him for having a good student.

However, Wei Jin understood that the script was only one of them, or that Tianzhuangzhuang's ability to control literary films had reached a high level. Otherwise, why was Poet Chen not shortlisted in his previous life?
  "The best foreign language film award is not a big problem, but the other few awards also depend on public relations efforts."

In fact, Wei Jin has already arranged for the public relations team to operate after the nomination. Of course, he wants to add another Oscar winner trophy to Li Jie. As for himself, he has plans for the follow-up, so there is no rush.

"I hope there will be a good result, but even so, you are still the pride of our Nortel."

Jiang Wei meant what he said sincerely. This student of his was getting higher and higher.

"That's not because the teachers teach well, hehe."

Facing the teacher's performance, Wei Jin could only answer like this.

"You kid, you've come to attend a few classes. Sometimes I wonder how your brain grows."

Jiang Wei knew very well that the school did not play a big role in Wei Jin's artistic path, and lamented that he didn't know when another talented student like Wei Jin would come out.

After bidding farewell to the two teachers, Wei Jin came to the Golden House.

Since returning to China, Fan Bingbing has made countless phone calls. When Wei Jin didn't answer, he sent many text messages with a very respectful attitude.

After waiting for her for so long, she must have understood her position, and Wei Jin didn't mind giving her another chance.

Soon Wei Jin saw Fan Bingbing, who was well dressed in the golden room.

Before Wei Jin could speak, Fan Bingbing had already approached him. She knew very well that this man was soft-spoken, and business matters had to be discussed after having fun.

Fan Bingbing, who was eager to please, brought extreme pleasure to Wei and Jin that night.
