During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 179 Warner’s purpose and first Shura field

"Racing" has achieved outstanding results in this not very popular period, and the promotion of "The King of Kung Fu" has officially begun.

Liu Yifei also took leave from the crew of "October Siege" and followed Huayi to Xiangjiang, where Huayi held a grand Asian media meeting.

At the meeting, Wang Zhonglei spoke loudly:

"We are ready for global distribution of "The King of Kung Fu." This is the first time Huayi and Hollywood have jointly operated a project. There will be more cooperation in the future, and Huayi will become an international film company."

Of course, interviews with the main creators are inevitable, and Cheng Long and Li Lianlian are naturally the ones that the media are eager to interview.

However, both of them behaved very restrainedly when facing reporters. They were not as confident as Wang Zhonglei, who spoke astonishingly.

Liu Yifei was among them. When asked about the Xiangjiang actor she wanted to work with most, she chose Liu Tianwang without hesitation. She knew that Wei Jin admired Hua Ge very much.

Watching the confident Liu Yifei talking to the camera on TV, Liu Xiaoli had to admit that her daughter had really grown up and she no longer needed to interfere.

As of April 4, "Racing" has been in theaters for 16 days, with a total box office of 18 million. The box office potential has not been exhausted. It is still earning three to four million every day. Ning Hao has already begun to celebrate in advance.

At the same time, Huayi's world premiere of "The King of Kung Fu" has officially begun, and Wei Jin is naturally on the invitation list.

But just as the day was approaching, Wei Jin received a call from across the ocean.
-

"Hunter, are you saying that Warner Bros. has taken a liking to my script? "Inception"?"

Wei Jin's voice rose unconsciously. He hadn't seen many Hollywood movies in his previous life, but this movie was famous, so how could he not have seen it?

As early as the year before last, he had written the script and registered it. By the way, he had also bought the copyright of Japan's "Paprika" to avoid any disputes in the future.

It's just that this movie will use a lot of 3D shooting techniques, and Wei Jin is not sure about it himself, so it has been stranded. He originally planned to take advantage of this time to study, but unexpectedly, he has been targeted by the six major Hollywood companies.

"Yes, boss, the people from Warner are here. Do you need to talk on the phone?"

It's early morning in North America at this time, which shows how anxious the other party is.

With Wei Jin's consent, Hunter gave the phone to Warner's people.

"Hello Wei, I'm Christopher Nolan."

The person on the other end of the phone was the director of the famous "Batman", but "Batman: The Dark Knight" had not yet been released at this time, and his status in front of Wei Jin could not be said to be very high.

"I like your script very much. I hope you can give it to me."

Nolan's mood at this time was also very complicated. He had had similar ideas a long time ago, but he had been busy with the project at hand and had not formed any written materials, let alone registered it.

During this period, I just finished the post-production process and was about to register the script. Unexpectedly, I was told by the Script Guild that the idea was already available.

Not believing in evil, he applied to check the registration time of the script. It turned out that it had been registered two years earlier. He even explained the source of inspiration and provided evidence of relevant copyrights.

Now Nolan couldn't sit still and hurriedly contacted Warner's senior management.

At first, Warner didn't take it seriously. There were many cases of script theft in Hollywood. But when they learned that the owner of the script was Wei Jin, Warner didn't dare to act rashly.

You must know that Wei Jin is not an unknown person. Not to mention his status as a Palme d'Or and Oscar director, his commercial achievements alone cannot be ignored.

Once Warner steals his script, the subsequent troubles are completely foreseeable, and may even cause an earthquake. No company will stand up to speak for Warner. Some things can only be done, not said, let alone put on the table.

This time I called Wei Jin with the intention of giving it a try. The other party was very likely to direct it himself, but even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, Nolan didn't want to miss it.

"Hello, Director Christopher, I also like this script very much. In fact, I am already learning 3D shooting technology and plan to start the project at the end of this year or early next year. I really want to say sorry."

To be honest, Wei Jin has not yet decided whether to direct it himself. The filming of this movie is too tiring, but if he handles the other party appropriately, the subsequent negotiations will be more beneficial.

"Wei, don't refuse in a hurry, okay? Listen to me, we are very sincere. How about we meet and talk about it?"

Nolan also knew that it was difficult to convince Wei Jin on the phone, and hoped to make him feel sincerity through face-to-face negotiations.

"In China or North America, it doesn't matter, Wei."

"Okay, Director Christopher, you are right. Maybe we can get a good result if we meet and discuss it later. I will give you an answer after considering the specific matters."

Wei Jin was very satisfied with Nolan's attitude. As for where to meet, he hadn't figured out yet.

"Of course, no matter what, I'm very much looking forward to our meeting. Goodbye, Wei."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin was thinking a lot. Jing Tian on the side reminded:

"Brother Wei Jin, it's time for us to set off."

Looking at Jing Tian, ​​Wei Jin's face twitched unconsciously, as the Shura Field was coming.
-

When he learned that Wei Jin was going to attend the premiere of "The King of Kung Fu", Jing Tian begged to go with him, for no other reason than to declare his sovereignty.

So the little girl dressed herself up very seriously early today. She wore a light blue suspender pleated skirt, paired with exquisite earrings, and slightly curly wavy hair, which made her look particularly charming.

The shoulders exposed by the suspenders are even more fair and smooth, and the special design on the chest of the skirt also makes Jing Tian's proud figure vaguely visible.

She was determined to compete with Liu Yifei. Regardless of whether there was any quarrel between her and Wei Jin, at least she wanted Liu Yifei to fully realize that Wei Jin already had a master and that she was the empress of the palace.

After all, the book says that showing your possessiveness appropriately will make men cherish themselves more.

Along the way, Wei Jin didn't speak. He was still thinking about "Inception".

"Brother Wei Jin, what's wrong with you? Shouldn't I be here today?"

Realizing that Wei Jin seemed to be preoccupied, Jing Tian thought it was his own actions that had embarrassed him, and sounded a little sad.

"No, Tiantian, I'm still thinking about the phone call just now."

Sooner or later, you have to experience Shura Field and so on. Wei and Jin were also testing the bottom line step by step.

"By the way, Tiantian, let me ask you a question. If there was a movie that you knew would definitely have a high box office, and you were a director, would you want to make it?"

Wei Jin, who was uncertain, simply asked Yu Jingtian, maybe he was confused by the authorities.

"Of course, as long as I like the script, I will definitely shoot it myself."

Although he didn't understand what Wei Jin meant, Jing Tian quickly gave the answer. I believe this is also the view of most people.

"But what if your ability is temporarily insufficient and there happens to be a very suitable director who wants to film?"

This is actually where Wei Jin struggled the most. He was not sure whether he could make this movie successfully.

"Well, if that's the case, let him take the picture."

Jing Tian tilted her head and thought for a moment, then replied that her brain circuit was very simple.

"But don't you think it's a pity?"

"It's such a pity. There are so many movies in the world. It's impossible for me to make them all. Since there is a more suitable one, let him make it. I also want to see the interview for this work as soon as possible." Jing Tian It seems that Wei Jin's troubles have been understood. It has to be said that the courage to give up is easy to appear in simple and naive people, and they are often better able to see what they want in their hearts.

Jing Tian's words made Wei Jin suddenly realize, yes, why bother and just pursue the best interests? Although this movie has a high box office, it is not the number one in the world, not to mention his reputation is big enough.

He is not only a director, but also a capital. The latter identity is where he settles down.

After thinking about this, Wei Jin suddenly held Jing Tian's face and kissed her red lips:

"Tiantian, you are really my lucky star."

"Oh, brother, my lipstick is all stained. I have to walk on the red carpet later."

Seeing that her words could help her lover, Jing Tian was a little happy, but she still hurriedly took out her lipstick and touched up her makeup.

Wei Jin laughed and kissed her twice on the cheek. He just liked teasing little girls.
-

The location of Huayiding is very special, it is located in Chaoyang Park near the Wei and Jin headquarters building.

The open-air press conference was mainly prepared for the large number of guests and media. At this time, many foreign actors and filmmakers were also present.

Wei Jin held Jing Tian's hand and as soon as he appeared at the front of the red carpet, the reporters' spotlights began to flash.

After all, Wei Jin's identity is here, unlike other celebrities who have to wait in line to be notified to walk on the red carpet.

However, these artists may prefer to wait a little longer. After all, there is a lot of media exposure.

The organizer's red carpet host was also very discerning and came directly to invite Wei Jin to leave first.

Without being polite, Wei Jin took Jing Tian directly onto the red carpet, and the latter attracted the envy of many female artists.

While waving politely, Wei Jin moved forward slowly. Wei Jin only felt that the short distance was a bit delayed.

On the contrary, Jing Tian adapted very well. She had an elegant smile on her face and a proud figure. She was beautiful from any angle. She had already foreseen that she would be the most beautiful in the headlines tomorrow.

After a brief interview, Wei Jin took Jing Tian to the infield. As soon as he entered, Ning Hao came over to say hello.

"Oh, Tiantian, you are dressed quite beautifully today."

"No way, Senior Brother Ning deserves the award."

Although he spoke modestly, the smile on Jing Tian's face could not be faked.

Before a few people could exchange greetings, someone from the organizer had already come over to greet them. After all, Wei Jin was the center of attention wherever he was.

It was Li Bingbing who came over. She was dressed a little boldly today, with her entire back exposed.

"Director Wei, Director Ning, Miss Jing, please come this way. Mr. Wang has been waiting for you for a long time."

Wei Jin followed Li Bingbing and soon met the creative team and Mr. Wang of Huayi. Liu Yifei was naturally among them, but her expression was a little unnatural.

"Guys, thank you for coming. Please forgive me for not greeting me well, haha."

Wang Zhonglei looked high-spirited today. Such a big scene really demonstrated the strength of Huayi. Wei and Jin even suspected that they had set up a studio from the Beijing Film Studio here.

"I wish Mr. Wang in advance that it will be a big hit at the box office. You don't need to worry about us, they are all cooked."

"That's right, I forgot. Yifei and Mr. Wei are old acquaintances. So Yifei, please help greet Mr. Wei and the others. I'm sorry."

Seeing Wang Zhonglei walking away, Liu Yifei changed her appearance and pulled Jing Tian as if she were a good sister she hadn't seen for many years.

"Tiantian, long time no see, you look so beautiful today."

"Sister Yifei, you are also very beautiful today, but we seem to be wearing different clothes."

Liu Yifei is wearing a light blue petal-shaped tube top dress today. At first glance, she looks somewhat similar to Jing Tian.

"Really? My mother helped me put it on, but I said it was a bit awkward and she insisted that I wear it."

"That's right. If you wear it by yourself, you won't even wear a skirt."

Jing Tian's words made Liu Yifei's face freeze. He was complaining about her clothes.

Sensing the somewhat frozen atmosphere in the air, Ning Hao left a self-seeking look in his eyes and ran away.

The Wei and Jin Dynasties had long been mentally prepared, and a small scene could not cause big troubles.

"Yifei, today's dress suits you very well. It's very beautiful."

Wei Jin also had to praise Liu Xiaoli's aesthetics.

"Yes, sister Yifei, I just said it looks good. My brother and I have very similar aesthetics."

While talking, Jing Tian took Wei Jin's arm, the expression on her face was very natural, as if she was supposed to be in this position.

"Hey, Yifei, are you still used to being on the set? You still have to be careful when playing, so you don't get hurt."

Sensing Wei Jin's concern for her, Liu Yifei took a deep breath and reminded herself to be steady. The future is long and it is still unclear who will win.

"Well, I do some action training, and the crew also takes good care of me. Thank you, brother Wei Jin."

After speaking, he showed a sweet smile and looked at Wei Jin without any concealment.

Jing Tian was a little confused at this moment. He didn't expect this woman to be so patient. He secretly warned himself not to act too hastily. If things like this got too big today, the man would be angry.

"Sister Yifei, you are really amazing, but if you shoot for a long time, your body will suffer from hidden injuries. Look at you, your skin seems to have gotten worse."

You have good skin, you are amazing, what’s wrong with my skin? Liu Yifei continued to smile and used her killer move:

"Brother Wei Jin, I have taken back the shares in Hongxingwu. When will our studio make a statement?"

What? Liu Yifei wants to open a studio with her brother? Jing Tian felt that his Taoist mind was a little disordered, so he forced himself to perform exercises for a week:

"Ah, Sister Yifei, then you will be an artist under Brother Wei Jin from now on? Then don't you have to be called Brother Boss?"

This is a warning to Liu Yifei, the boss lady is here, you should know your position.

Liu Yifei was waiting to rebut, but the host had already appeared on the stage. She had no choice but to end this round of competition temporarily, but before leaving, she also fought back:

"Brother Wei Jin, I'll go over first. Come to our house for dinner when you have time. Mom's Sichuan food is more authentic than last time. You will definitely like it. Then Tiantian, let's see you soon."

"Brother, as a native of northern Shaanxi, why do you like to eat Sichuan food?"

Jing Tian lost his target and felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't expect that Sichuan food would become a stumbling block for him.

"Tiantian, don't you like spicy hot pot and hot pot?"

Wei Jin looked innocent, but he was still very satisfied with the result of this test. Both the fairy and the rich flower were his.
