During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 167 The Poet of the Tang Dynasty and the Fairy Jinghong

On December 12, "The Invisible Guest" was officially released in China, with a box office of only 24 million.

For a foreign language film with no big scenes to achieve this result, there is no doubt about Wei Jin's appeal. Many companies in the industry are already paying attention to Wei Jin's movements and are determined not to be on the same schedule as him.

Even before when he was in North America, Wei Jin received a call from Huayi's general manager Xiao Wang, saying that "The King of Kung Fu" was scheduled to be released at the end of April and planned to seize the May Day schedule. He asked if he had any plans to release it and didn't want the two companies to collide. So much.

As a result, Wei Jin didn't take any action, and Shangfeng changed the holiday. Unfortunately, Huayi's publicity had already been launched, so they had to bite the bullet.

At the end of December, news came from Sugar Man that the project of "Sword and Sword 12" was about to be approved. According to the previous agreement, Wei Jin could invest 3%.

Of course, Wei Jin accepted this with a smile. The revenue of this drama is much higher than that of "Sword and Sword 1", and its ability to entertain people is also very good.

However, Ms. Cai has many ideas and actually wants Liu Yifei to participate in the film, either as a guest star or as a special star.

Wei Jin expressed his disapproval and advised her not to think too much, but he suggested the company's candidates for the role.

"Mr. Wei, we agreed not to interfere in the creation, but you can't do this."

On the phone, Miss Cai's voice revealed that she was unhappy, but Wei Jin somehow smelled of coquettishness.

Quickly getting rid of the terrifying thoughts in his mind, Wei Jin offered his own price:

"Mr. Cai, what if we add the Wei and Jin romantic brand?"

"."

Ms. Cai was silent. If Wei Jin Company was listed as the producer, the TV series would have sold at least ten or two hundred thousand more per episode.

"I wonder, Mr. Wei, which role do you want?"

After a moment of silence, Miss Cai finally agreed, hoping that Wei Jin would not have too much of an appetite.

"Zixuan, starring Zhang Li."

Now that he has enjoyed the joy of long legs, Wei Jin will naturally not break his promise, not to mention that he does not think Zhang Li is worse than Tang Yan, and even to a certain extent, Zhang Li has a stronger sister style.

Since Chengtian wanted to create trouble for Wei and Jin, he didn't mind trying a few tricks, but he didn't know if there would be another Poet of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

After thinking about Zhang Li's appearance in her mind, Miss Cai agreed.

Inside the Yanjiao villa.

"Good brother, just promise me, okay~"

Gao Yuanyuan, dressed in a maid outfit, knelt down on the soft carpet, stopped what she was talking about, and spoke with a seductive tone.

"Sister Yuanyuan, you are responsible for killing and not burying. This kind of behavior is shameful."

The happiness came to an abrupt end, and Wei Jin was made to feel very uncomfortable.

"I don't care, I have promised Sister Crimson. If it doesn't work out, how can I have the face to see her?"

Gao Yuanyuan also didn't expect that Wei Jin would not watch his best friend's movie so much. What he thought was a simple matter is now a bit tricky.

As a last resort, Gao Yuanyuan had no choice but to resort to cosplay. She didn't believe that a man with a hard heart could be harder than the one below?

"Sister Yuanyuan, have you ever thought about why the publisher would do this with the energy of your best friend?"

Wei Jin didn't really intend to refuse, but he didn't like this way of making decisions. He wanted to temper Sister Yuanyuan's temper, and he needed to slow down on the movie he had promised her before.

"Aren't you just worried that you will lose money if you make too many copies? With your company's distribution capabilities, isn't it possible?"

It's not that Gao Yuanyuan doesn't understand the reason, it's just that she thinks too simply.

"This has nothing to do with distribution capabilities. It's simply a matter of limited movie potential. The original novel of her movie is so clueless that most people can't stand it."

"Then what should I do? I, I don't want to break my promise. Good brother, why don't you help me find a way?"

Seeing that her coquettishness was useless, Gao Yuanyuan could only provide deeper, more comprehensive and better services.

Feeling Gao Yuanyuan's sincerity, Wei Jin patted her head to express satisfaction.

"Well, let her come to the company for an interview. I want to know her thoughts first and then see how to operate."

Hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, her cross-dressing was not in vain. However, the work that should be done must continue, and she didn't know what was going on with this man. He was becoming more and more persistent.——

In the company office, Wei Jin saw "Fairy Jinghong" for the first time. Not to mention, she was really a "frozen beauty", and she didn't even look like she was about to turn 37.

Looking at Yu Feihong and Gao Yuanyuan sitting together, Wei Jin felt a little emotional. No wonder he wanted to find Sister Yuanyuan to star in a movie before. Their faces were indeed somewhat similar.

"Sister Yu, we are alumni, so I won't beat around the bush. Your movie has limited potential, and the distributor will most likely lose money."

Wei Jin's outspokenness made Yu Feihong look very unhappy. Gao Yuanyuan on the side also wanted to speak, but Wei Jin did not give her a chance and continued:

"However, I want to know, does senior sister want to recover the cost, or does she simply want everyone to see your work?"

"Of course I want everyone to see my work, but it would be even better if it can earn some box office."

Yu Feihong's original intention in making movies is very simple, which is to please herself and fulfill her dreams. However, she has already invested a lot of money before and after, and even mortgaged her house. Of course, she hopes to lose less.

"Well then, I recommend you to go to the Berlin Film Festival. On the one hand, it will increase your reputation. On the other hand, you can also sell some overseas copyrights. Regardless of whether you win or not, at least the domestic box office will be better."

After thinking about it, Wei Jin came up with a solution. As a Palme d'Or and Oscar director, he is already qualified to directly recommend films to the three major European films, and there is a high probability that they will be shortlisted.

At this year's Cannes Film Festival, the organizers invited Wei Jin to be a judge, but the time was really not right and the trip didn't happen.

"Is it true? Junior brother, can my movie really participate in the three major European movies?"

No wonder Yu Feihong was surprised, Wei Jin's operation was something she had never expected before.

"Of course, there is still a market for romance movies in Europe, but don't have high expectations. In addition, the release time should be arranged before Chinese Valentine's Day, which will help the box office to some extent."

There was no other way for Wei and Jin. He still admired Yu Feihong for her non-marriage philosophy, never making any hype, and being willful and free-spirited.

"In addition, I will write another song and use it as the theme promotional song for the movie."

In Wei Jin's impression, there is a song that is very suitable for the theme of this movie-"If Love Has God's Will".

This song is the theme song of the Korean movie of the same name, and the copyright needs to be negotiated, but this is simple, it is just a matter of money, not to mention Lee Soo Man's relationship.

As for the singer, Li Jian is very good. I also heard him sing this song in his previous life in Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is really great. This song will definitely bring great damage to the audience.

"Junior brother, this is so great. I don't even know how to thank you."

Originally, there was no news about Gao Yuanyuan, and she had given up hope. Who would have expected that a sudden turn of events would bring her such a big surprise? It was a film festival, and it was a promotion strategy, and now she actually had to help write songs in person. Yu Feihong was really disappointed. I was moved beyond measure.

"Senior Sister Yu, you're too polite. Let's not mention the relationship between our alumni, but just the friendship between Sister Yuanyuan and you. This is what I should do."

What Wei Jin said made Gao Yuanyuan very happy. He was trying to save face for her, and she was already thinking about how to benefit the man.

After seeing off the two beauties, Wei Jin looked at the small card in his hand and sighed. The annual Oscar nominations have begun again, and he doesn't know who will make it to the end.

The Oscar awards are divided into three steps.

The first step is to vote for nominations. First, select a few movies from the hundreds of movies released every year that meet the regulations and list them. This is the nomination list. Usually there are 5-10 movies for the best movies, and 5 movies for other categories.

The second step is the final voting. The judges choose their favorites from the nomination list and finally get the winners list. Based on this rule, there is basically no possibility of double yolk eggs.

The third step is to announce the awards at the Oscars.

More than 90% of the current more than Oscar judges are white, and three-quarters of them are men, and they are all very old, so the judges are nicknamed "old white men". These people's aesthetics basically determine Award vesting.

In addition, there are a small number of international judges to highlight the internationalization of the Oscars.

Wei Jin was nominated for original screenplay and best director last year. He could choose to join different departments. In the end, he chose the screenwriting department of the academy. After a period of investigation, he successfully became a judge.

Currently, among the Chinese, directors Lao Mouzi, Chen Shi, Li An, and Wu Baige have been invited to be judges, as well as actors Mileage Long, Gong Huang, Zhang Ziyi, Zeng Li, and several Chinese-American actors.

There are only a dozen in total, and there is no way to influence the outcome, not to mention that everyone is not on the same page.

This is also the reason why many judges do not particularly care about this status. It really has no sense of existence. However, if you do not participate in the awards for many years, your status as a judge will be revoked and you will become an honorary member of the jury and will no longer be able to vote.

Wei Jin naturally does not intend to give up this identity. Not only that, he also wants to have as many judges around him as possible. At least it can be considered a strength and can always be used for future public relations.

After carefully filling out his choice, Wei Jin arranged for someone to mail the envelope out.
-

"Yuanyuan, you must cherish her. There are not many such men left."

On the way to leave, Yu Feihong felt something. It was a pity that she had never met such a man. Otherwise, even if she had no name or status, she would still stay with him for the rest of her life. At this moment, she actually envied Gao Yuanyuan.

"Sister Crimson, are you attracted to him?"

After the matter was resolved, Gao Yuanyuan felt very comfortable and joked:

"Damn girl, what are you talking about? You can't hold back your words. Besides, I'm really attracted to you. Can you still give it to me?"

"It's impossible to let go, but it's not impossible to share. Sister Crimson, you didn't know last night."

Different from the last public occasion, Gao Yuanyuan was not so unrestrained in the car and chatted about boudoir affairs with her best friend.

Hearing the words of tiger and wolf, Yu Feihong blushed and started to fantasize involuntarily in her mind.
