During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 324 I really look forward to them fighting an attacking Zhang DaPao
Entering mid-June, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 6)" is officially released globally.

Fans of the book and movie are looking forward to the final installment of this film adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name.

The theater chain also provided great support. It opened in 4070 theaters and grossed US$7120 million at the box office on the first day, directly ranking the box office champion in the North American market for the week.

In the three days of its first weekend, the North American box office revenue was US$1.41 million. Compared with the previous departments, this data is slightly inferior.

However, in markets outside of North America, "Twilight 4: Part 61" is quite eye-catching in attracting money. It collected US$1.996 million in markets in the first three days of the first weekend, setting a new high in the series.

In the three days since the movie was released, the global box office has reached 3.4 million US dollars, and it has successfully topped the global weekly box office list. It fully lives up to its reputation as a fan movie. It is really terrifying.

Seeing this result, Wei Jin only felt that he had won, and he was full of expectations for the next best-selling novel and movie.

At the same time, smoke began to fill the domestic film market.

The promotion of "The Raid" and "Martial Arts" has entered the final stage of madness, but correspondingly, the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger.

The topic of "Challenge Competition" initiated by Wu Jing was frequently mentioned by media reporters. Zhen Zhuan really couldn't stand it and expressed it publicly.

The media was in a frenzy. Wu Jing had already chosen the time and place for Zhen. It was up to him to see if he had the courage to accept the challenge.

Liu Yifei's face showed excitement, but then she frowned.

Limon's Wine: "Zhen Bullet, don't give in. Stars compete with real people. It will definitely make the movie popular. The movie box office hasn't taken off yet. Go ahead."

"I don't need to be paid, as long as the crew takes care of the food for me, hehe."

After "Inception", Liu Yifei's salary rose to 800 million. As she rejected more and more scripts, her salary continued to rise. Previously, "The Four Famous Catchers" also planned to invite her to star, and Lao Wang was even willing to offer a price. 1200 million, which shows Liu Tianxian’s popularity.

"Really? That would be great. You can act in a movie with your mother."

The silent man said nothing: "Those upstairs, let's start by selecting the bullets that should not be challenged."

This wish of the little girl and netizens is destined to be impossible to realize.

Since the little girl has sent out an invitation, how can Wei Jin refuse?

"Huh? I really look forward to them having a fight."

"Your salary is too high now. I can't afford you for this small-budget movie."

When Wei Jin heard this, he pinched Tianxian's pretty face fondly, smiled and said nothing.

Looking at the news on the Internet, Liu Yifei was also very curious.

Regarding the matter of letting Hongxingwu be the producer, Wei Jin also thought very clearly. Since Fan Bingbing has received support from the listing, his woman must not be left behind.

"Brother, you are so good to me and love me."

Seeing the girl's silly look, Wei Jin scratched her nose.

"We kindly invite Mr. Zhen Zhuan to attend the premiere of "The Raid". Let's have a showdown right there."

You know, it is impossible for celebrity artists like Wu Jing and Zhen Zhuan to actually compete in an arena match. Even if the two are willing, the team behind them will never allow it.

Wei Jin suddenly stood up, holding up the girl's hips with both hands, and the latter immediately hung on Wei Jin's chest like a koala.

Not to mention, this smell of gunpowder really made the two movies instantly popular. Those who didn't know better thought that Wu Jing and Zhen Zhuang had an agreement.

"By the way, Yifei, I want my aunt to play the role of the old lady in the movie. What do you think?"

"Brother, who do you think is more powerful, Wu Jing or Zhen Bully?"

"I don't know either. Maybe I won't know until I fight."

Holding the man's neck tightly with both hands, Liu Yifei had already imagined the next scene in her mind, and nodded with a blushing face.

Informal critic: "Mr. Ip Man who is playing ten, the location has been chosen, what do you say?"

"But, isn't mom too young?"

Netizens didn't mind the excitement and rushed to Zhen Zhuan's Weibo to leave messages.

Wei Jin was telling the truth. Zhen Zi was not that good, but his martial arts skills were pretty good. He had a good family background and had been exposed to Chinese martial arts and Western fighting since he was a child. He had found his own way.

Originally, Liu Xiaoli took good care of herself. Perhaps it was because she was in a better mood after watching her daughter grow up over the years. Wei Jin felt that his mother-in-law was growing in reverse.

"When the movie comes out, I'm willing to compete with him, but for now, let's let him finish the promotion in good health."

Faced with Zhen Zhunzhu's provocation, Wu Jing's reply was also very tough.

"She is a bit young, but she can put on makeup. It depends on whether the aunt is willing to appear in the role."

"Yifei, let's try something else today, okay?"

Coffee: "Come on, brother, the Internet is open, is there anyone who wants to place a bet?"

Wei Jin smiled, thinking that the little girl didn't care, so he reached out to hold her buttocks and said.

In the original movie, the director also put a lot of thought into the casting, and finally chose Gui Yalei, who was related to Yang Zishan, to play the elderly heroine.

"Then let me ask her what she means first. By the way, brother, why do you want me to be the producer this time?"

Wei Jin nodded when he heard this. This is indeed a problem.

"Are you stupid? If you don't want the salary, do you want to support the team of Hongxingwu? Besides, I am a shareholder of Redxingwu. If you make money, don't you want to share it with me?"

The movie "Twenty Again" has a lot of scenes with an older female protagonist. It would be best to find someone who looks somewhat similar to the young female protagonist, so that it will be more convincing.

Of course, Wu Jing is not bad either. He joined the Beijing Wushu Team at the age of 15 and won the championship in the spear category of the National Martial Arts Elite Competition at the age of 20. Over the years, he has also begun to incorporate Western elements such as free fighting and Sanda, and his fighting style is clean and neat.

"Yeah, but brother, you have to be gentle."

"Don't worry, my baby."

The first blockbuster film in June, "The Founding of the Party", was released.

Judging from the attendance rates announced by many theaters, this movie is considered to be full of seats, but everyone in the industry knows what is going on and is not surprised.

On the contrary, everyone is looking forward to this movie with a super star cast to revitalize the movie market.

There is no way, after the bloody battle of Hollywood movies in May, it has been almost half a month, and the market has not yet recovered. Much anticipated, the first-day box office of "The Founding of the Party" was released. With a figure of 3280 million, it was considered a good start.

You know, this figure is more than one million higher than "The Founding of the Republic" which dominates the National Day schedule.

Starting from the next day, the movie's box office rose to 3600 million and remained there. According to this situation, it seems that it is only a matter of time before it exceeds million.

In view of this, China Film took advantage of the situation and shouted a slogan.

"This data shows that the domestic film market is developing rapidly. Our previous goal was a bit low. We are confident that the film can reach 6 million."

Looking at the reports on the Internet, Wei Jin shook his head. Old Hantou didn't pay attention to other movies at all. It would be painful to be slapped in the face.

Then looking through industry information, Wei Jin noticed a piece of news: the awards at the Shanghai Film Festival were over.

Bao Qiang's "Hello!" "Mr. Tree" won the Jury Prize and the Best Director Award, becoming the only domestic film to win this year's award.

The rest of the awards, including Best Picture, were all given to foreign films and some unknown crews, which is true to the consistent style of the Shanghai Film Festival.

"Hello! "Mr. Tree" was a movie that Wei Jin had watched in his previous life, and I have to say that Wang Baoqiang's performance in the film was very eye-catching and fully worthy of a Best Actor trophy. It's a pity.

Withdrawing his gaze, Wei Jin buried his head in drawing the script of "Twenty Again".

Two hours passed by in a flash, and just as he was about to take a break, Chen Xi knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Wei, is it time to think about the role?"

After being together for many years, Chen Xi also figured out the boss's habits. After sitting down, he got straight to the point.

"Well, send the role requirements to the industry. Then you can screen the resumes and conduct small-scale auditions."

Wei Jin nodded. Although it was a small-budget movie, to achieve outstanding results, other roles must not be neglected.

After careful consideration, Liu Xiaoli finally rejected the role. In her words, she hadn't acted in a movie for too long and was afraid of screwing up her daughter's movie.

In this case, Wei Jin does not insist on it. The role of the elderly heroine does have a lot of roles, and she is very brilliant. Only someone with outstanding acting skills can hold it.

"Okay, Mr. Wei."

Just as Chen Xi was about to leave, Wei Jin stopped her.

"By the way, how is the investment recruitment work going?"

As a movie with a modern background, "Twenty Again" is very suitable for advertising. As long as the quantity is controlled and the quality of the film is not affected, Wei Jin will not refuse this kind of money-making thing.

"Several brands have been identified so far, and the total price has been discussed at 4000 million."

Having said this, Chen Xi couldn't help but marvel at Wei Jin's appeal. With both Wei Jin and Liu Yifei investing in their remuneration, the production cost of this film would not exceed 2 million. The current commercial placement alone would Having achieved % net profit is really terrifying.

"In addition, we are still negotiating for patch ads, and the highest bid has been quoted at 600 million per piece."

When Wei Jin heard this, he nodded and expressed his understanding. A small-cost pre-roll advertisement would definitely not be able to compare with a large-scale production like "Gravity".

The previous investment promotion for "Gravity" was very smooth. A single advertisement was sold for 2000 million yuan, and the total cost of three advertisements was 6000 million yuan. This price set a domestic historical record.

In terms of product placement, because it is a space background, only some of the astronauts in the spacecraft cabin used items for implantation, and the total price reached 5000 million.

It is equivalent to saying that the cost of 1.1 million has been directly recovered before the movie is released, and several investors are quite satisfied.

"Okay, you can continue to follow up on this aspect. How is the preliminary location scouting going?"

Modern dramas are no better than costume dramas, and there will be quite a lot of outdoor scenes. A suitable location can save the crew a lot of trouble.

"Currently, the ones that are more in line with the script are Jinmen and Magic City. Comparatively speaking, Jinmen is more suitable. Most of the scenes can be completed there."

"Okay, the relevant local departments should coordinate in advance."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wei, our project will definitely get the green light."

Chen Xi was very confident in what he said. With the current status of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the relevant local departments would make it easy for them to go to any place for filming, and the treatment would definitely not be inferior to that of Poet Chen, Lao Mouzi and others.

But as if he thought of something, Chen Xi covered his mouth with a smile and said teasingly:
"It's just Mr. Wei, you have to be prepared to be publicized, hehe."

When Wei Jin heard this, he also slapped his forehead. He could not forget that when filming the exterior scenes of "Painted Skin", the local relevant departments sent condolences from time to time, which was really frustrating.
The next day, Shanhe Media sent the casting requirements for "Twenty Again" to major agencies in the industry.

This drama has many supporting actors and a wide age range, so there are not too many qualified artists in the industry.

Soon relevant resumes were floating like snowflakes to Shanhe Media, and everyone was looking forward to passing the resume screening.

In comparison, Star Culture artists are much calmer. Unless they are really unsuitable, there will definitely be opportunities for auditions.

The long-awaited "Thirteen Hairpins in Jinling" has been completed.

Perhaps because he was overwhelmed by the loan, Zhang Weiping directly announced the schedule before the film's post-production period had even started, and it was set for December 12th, aiming for the Lunar New Year release.

As soon as the news came out, the circle immediately became lively. "The Secret of the Dragon" was scheduled to be released on December 12th. Although "Thirteen Hairpins" has been postponed for a few days, it will eventually have a head-to-head confrontation.

On one side is the famous Lao Mouzi, and on the other side is the newly-emerged director Wu Ershan, who is worth 3 million yuan. There is something good to watch in this year's Lunar New Year movie.

The media who had good things to do went to interview him. Facing the reporter's camera, Zhang Dapao showed great confidence.

""Thirteen Hairpins" is a magnificent epic war movie with an investment of up to 6 million. In the case of fair competition, I believe in the strength of Yimou. Our goal is to regain the box office record. As for other movies, they are not Within our sight"

Naturally, Wu Ershan could not avoid being stuck in the company and being interviewed. Facing the reporter's camera, he was still clear-headed and did not say anything extreme.

"With the gradual prosperity of the film market, more than a thousand commercial films have been approved this year, and there are more than a dozen films with production costs of hundreds of millions. However, there are only so many popular schedules, and competition for schedules will become the norm in the future."

"It's an honor to have the opportunity to compete head-on with Director Zhang this time. As for the outcome, I can only leave it to the audience. However, I am also very confident about "The Secret of the Dragon"!"

Looking at the news on the Internet, Wei Jin nodded. Wu Ershan's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and did not destroy the prestige of Shanhe Media.

But Zhang Weiping is a thief. He has made a high-profile effort to regain the box office record, and he also deliberately emphasizes fair competition. Is this because he is afraid that he will cheat?

But this guy is too underestimated. He has repeatedly intervened in the operation of "Thirteen Hairpins", can the movie be good?
Wu Ershan can teach him how to behave without having to do anything himself.

“We’ll see the real story at the box office then.”
