During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 232 The new president Liu Yifei is jealous

Wei Jin didn't know what was happening in the country. He was currently in the garden of the villa, listening to Hunter reporting on his work.

"Boss, the overseas copyright of "Hunting" has been sold for a total of 3160 million US dollars."

Although Hunter was reporting on work, he was still a little curious about Zeng Li who was basking in the sun. Isn't this the Oscar-winning actress? Why did the boss make me pregnant?

"In addition, the public relations team has begun to participate in various film festivals, and the North American side has also set a date for December 12."

Wei Jin nodded when he heard this. The copyright value of the Golden Bear Award-winning film is indeed high. The film has already made a profit before it was released.

You must know that the cost of this film is only 2000 million US dollars, and the largest expenditure is the 1000 million salary of starring Matt Damon. This is already a discounted friendship price. He is so popular.

In addition, the earlier the journey to win the prize, the better. Although it may be expensive, Wei Jin felt that he could give it a try.

"By the way, how are the other projects going?"

Nowadays, Wei Jin rarely interferes with the projects of Summit Entertainment.

""The King of Power" has been released. Boss, you don't know how much North American audiences like this kind of film. We have made a lot of money."

"Well, Friedman is old, and the other shareholders don't take care of things very much. I feel more comfortable leaving it to you, but there is still something I need you to handle."

Hunter is a little worried. Summit Entertainment relies on three horror film series to survive. Currently, the "Dead Silence" series has been suspended, and the performance of "Insidious 3" is not very satisfactory. There are always signs of something bad happening.

Hunter was overjoyed when he heard this. After working hard for so many years, his boss finally wanted to support him?

"Really, boss?"

One month after it was released, it actually earned more than 6000 million U.S. dollars at the box office. Compared with the production cost of 800 million U.S. dollars, it can be said to be a great success.

Immediately, Wei Jin explained Zeng Li's affairs.

Listening to Hunter's introduction, Wei Jin nodded from time to time. It seemed that the remake was the right step.

As for the "Rescue" series, Summit Entertainment agreed that it would be better to start it next year.

Compared to other top executives of Summit Entertainment, Hunter is undoubtedly the most loyal, and Wei Jin is determined to promote him.

More importantly, "Transformers 2" is scheduled to be released on June 6. This is a big deal, but there is no way. The competition for summer releases is so fierce. Fortunately, there is a two-week buffer, which is enough for "Twilight 26" 》 reaped the box office.

The Wei and Jin Dynasties were calm and relaxed. Summit Entertainment has developed to this day, and only one or two series failed, which is innocuous.

"Since the horror film series has been somewhat weakened, let's capture the remaining ones. You can't just rely on me for everything, right?"

"The King of Power" is rated NC-17 in North America, which means you can watch it only if you are 17 years old or above. This movie focuses on plasma explosion, which really aroused the curiosity of many viewers.

"But, boss, the results of "Insidious 3" are not very good, this..."

"Insidious 3" was released in March this year. The North American box office failed to break 1.58 million, and the global box office was million. Although it is already very profitable, it is undoubtedly far behind the previous two films. The key word-of-mouth is not very good. Can the series be successful? How it will go down is still unknown.

"Now You See Me 2" is also scheduled to be launched in three months. The script was already provided by Wei and Jin last year. This time, Jing Tian is given more roles. Who knows that this is his own woman.

"I understand, boss. In fact, the other series have already started."

"Twilight 3" has been scheduled for June 6, which is not a good schedule. There was "Fast and Furious 12" the week before, and "Dragon" produced by Fox was released at the same time. They are all strong competition. opponent.

"Very good, Hunter, you are already a qualified executor. Next, perhaps the president of Summit Entertainment is a good choice."

"It's normal. No one can guarantee that the series will make a lot of money. Besides, we have made less money, right?"

With Hunter's introduction, Wei Jin learned more.

Although he has made a lot of arrangements, he is always afraid of eventualities. Leaving public opinion issues to Summit Entertainment is also an insurance policy.

"Boss, don't worry, I promise that no information will be leaked out."

Hunter is extremely confident. In Hollywood, Summit Entertainment can still talk the talk.

"Well, next time we meet, I should call you Mr. President."

"Haha. Boss, I can't wait."
-

In the capital, inside a villa.

"Xixi, are you just idle like this? You don't like these? Tsk tsk."

Shu Chang flipped through the scripts placed on the coffee table and couldn't help but sigh, it was really a drought that caused death, and a flood that caused death.

Shu Chang has had a hard time in the past two years, which has a lot to do with her career plan. During her peak period, she went to study, and she majored in English that had nothing to do with acting. Now that she has graduated, she has basically no acting appointments. .

"I made two movies last year, what's wrong with taking a break?"

Liu Yifei was lying lazily on the sofa, holding a pure white cat in her arms and petting it happily.

"Besides, I don't know much about the script. I'd better wait for my brother to come back and help me read it."

"Yes, it's right to let him take the spotlight. You are now the first of the four little actresses, so you can't star in bad movies and ruin your reputation."

Shu Chang knew his best friend's salty personality very well. Without Liu Xiaoli's supervision, Liu Yifei could remain idle and enjoy it.

"What's the use of the four little beauties? At most, they just have multiple prefixes when publishing the draft. I don't care."

Although Liu Yifei looked normal, the smile on her lips still betrayed her. After all, she was ahead of Jing Tian.

But when she thought about Jing Tian's recent new album sales, Liu Yifei had a headache. This EP, named "Hello Tomorrow" by Jing Tian, ​​became a hit as soon as it was released. Each of the three songs is more classic than the last. Now her voice can be heard in the streets and alleys.

In particular, the song "Ruishi" commemorates the revolutionary ancestors and has excellent intentions. It has been selected as one of the promotional songs by "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".

It is said that even CCTV is interested in it and is planning to invite Jing Tian to sing in this year's Spring Festival Gala. Although the news has not been confirmed, Liu Yifei feels that the possibility is very high, and it is inevitable that she will be jealous for a while.

You must know that since her debut, although she has many fans and many works, she has never received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala.

At this time, Liu Yifei actually felt a little lucky. Fortunately, the selection time for the four Xiaohuadan was before the release of Jingtian's album, otherwise it would be difficult to say the winner.

"Okay, okay, you are noble and powerful, that's it."

Shu Chang wouldn't expose her, just let her have fun secretly.

"But you didn't ask for information about "Passengers"?"

Speaking of this, Shu Chang also admired his best friend's calmness. During this time, many female celebrities were walking around outside.

"You don't know your brother's character. If he thinks it's appropriate, you will mention it without asking."

Liu Yifei knew very well that Wei and Jin had gaps in their minds and had their own considerations in everything, and they did not like people interfering in projects.

"Indeed, speaking of it, he is quite interesting to you."

Although he was not angry at Wei Jin's philandering, resources such as "Inception" were given to Liu Yifei, and Shu Chang could not find fault.

"But why did he suddenly go to North America again? Didn't he just come back two months ago?"

Although Wei Jin's whereabouts are secret, they are still unable to withstand the in-depth digging of the good media, and it coincides with the pending resolution of "Passengers", so don't pay too much attention to him.

"Well, it's a little strange. He left in a hurry. Let's ask him again when he comes back."

Liu Yifei was simple-minded and couldn't figure it out, so she just stopped thinking about it. Then she pulled Shu Chang over and started talking quietly.

"What are you doing here today? Are you bringing this little ancestor with you?"

As she spoke, Liu Yifei tilted her head to the side and saw a little girl not far away sitting neatly with a smile on her face, trying to act mature.

But Liu Yifei knew that Shu Chang had done a lot of favors for this little ancestor in the past two years, so she couldn't help but tease him.

"What little ancestor, how can you talk?"

Shu Chang was a little angry. After all, she was a relative of hers. Even as her best friend, Liu Yifei shouldn't say such things.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay?"

Liu Yifei also realized that she had made a mistake, so she quickly made up for it, and then reminded her best friend.

"But let me remind you, don't forget about the previous lawsuit."

"Isn't everything over? And it wasn't intentional, so why are you still holding on to it?"

Shu Chang was simple-minded. He had received kindness from this family when he was a child, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to repay him.

"I can't say what the specific situation is, but I suggest that you'd better change your agent. My brother said that professional matters should be left to professionals."

"I know, but this has nothing to do with children. Forget it, I'll leave first."

Shu Chang also felt that today was not a good opportunity to talk about things, so he turned around and waved to the child.

"Okay, cousin, goodbye sister Xixi."

The child was very polite and smiled sweetly at Liu Yifei.

"See you."
-

North America, in the garden of a Beverly Hills villa.

"Boss, the documents you want are ready."

William respectfully handed over the file bag. The paper bag, which was originally light and flimsy, now seemed to William to be extremely heavy.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Is everything going well at the Sixth University?"

Wei Jin took the file bag and did not look through it. Instead, he asked about the previous arrangements.

"Well, it's going very well. With the shares currently held, you can apply for a director seat at any time. Do you want to merge the accounts and raise a sign, boss?"

In order to prevent the Big Six from being noticed, the trading team arranged many accounts to hide holdings, and a single account was far from touching the red line.

"No, it's not time yet."

The prize hunt for "Hunting" is just an attempt. Wei Jin doesn't care about success or failure. He wants to see how strong the resistance is. Only when he launches a charge next time will he know where to use his strength, and his trump card is always there. It is valuable to leave it until the last minute.

"Then boss, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Seeing Zeng Li lying on the lawn basking in the sun, William naturally would not waste his boss's private time.

"Well, you go ahead."

"Goodbye, boss."
