During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 393 Circle Culture I can’t live in harmony with gambling and drugs!

Circle culture is really everywhere, especially in the entertainment industry.

What Wei Jin didn't expect was that Beijing Film Academy didn't even bother to pretend to be one.

This year's Beijing Film Academy leaders are really good at making things happen. They organized an alumni reunion for the 78th anniversary of the 30 class.

It was held under the pretext of celebrating the 78th anniversary of the graduation of the first batch of students after the resumption of enrollment in 30, and the event was scheduled a few days before the start of school at Beijing Film Academy.

You know, the Class of 78 of Beijing Film Academy is the most awesome group of people in the domestic entertainment industry.

Lao Mouzi, Chen Shishi, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Gu Changwei, Li Shaohong, Wu Ziniu and others are all big names from level 78.

In addition, the school also invited a large number of directors, producers, well-known actors in the circle, etc. who graduated from Beijing Film Academy.

When the news spread, there was an uproar in the circle.

Those who graduated from Beijing Film Academy and are not doing well in their lives are naturally overjoyed, as their alma mater is building connections for them.

Even those art students who have not yet been admitted to the Beijing Film Academy were overjoyed, and many of them had already been waiting near the school in advance.

Just for the chance to catch the eyes of the big guys, even though they know the probability is slim.

But apart from these people, the reactions of other people in the circle were very dissatisfied.

Some media even publicly accused Norfilm of creating its own faction, which would completely undermine fairness in the industry.

The Chinese Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy, which are also among the three major academies, are no longer silent this time and have spoken out their "condemnation".

Because in fact, Beijing Film Academy has basically monopolized the directors and producers in the industry. If it creates its own small faction, how will students from other colleges and universities survive?
As the most prestigious director in the country, Wei Jin was naturally invited. Jing Tian and Liu Yifei, as one of the four young actresses, were also among them.

After communicating with his mentor Tian Zhuangzhuang, Wei Jin directly rejected the invitation on behalf of the three of them. As for the reason, it was easy to find.

Wei Jin is busy starting a new project, Jing Tian is busy with her concert, and Liu Yifei is still on a roadshow.

To be honest, Wei Jin still has feelings for his alma mater. After all, he did receive a lot of care when he first debuted.

So over the years, Wei Jin has won honors, donated money, and even solved some employment problems for the school. There is no ambiguity about that.

Normally, he was also willing to let Nortel use his face.

But this time the situation is different. If Wei Jin gets involved, it would be equivalent to Shanhe Media making a statement, which would be of no benefit to the company's development.

As for the artists and directors under his company, if they are willing to participate, Wei Jin will not stop them.

But Lu Yang is a smart guy. He had been planning to return to China, but after receiving the news, he continued to hang out outside.

Ning Hao also went directly to Berlin. However, Zhang Yimou, as he was the main character of level 78, could not shirk the responsibility this time.

However, Wei Jin estimated that with the quality of the current Beijing Film Academy students, even Zhang Yimou would not be impressed.
As February approaches, "2 Again" is still making great strides in the film market.

After the beginning of the year, the film earned more than 8000 million yuan at the box office in just three working days, and the total box office approached the 4 million yuan mark.

The situation of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" seemed relatively normal, with the single-day box office falling back to around 1000 million. However, after three days, it finally reached the 9 million mark, closing at 9.12 million.

If there had been no postponement, this would have been the final box office of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", which is slightly better than Wei Jin expected.

All I can say is that these days, the gimmick of 3D blockbusters is still enough.

Next, it depends on whether the final 10-day extension can allow the seven major producers to get what they want.

At this moment, Xu Yong and the other main creators were quite nervous. You know, 9 million and 10 billion are two completely different concepts.

For a time, from director Xu Ke and producer Shi Nansheng to leading actors Li Lianjie, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Wan Qian and others, all frequently called on Weibo, hoping that the audience would go to the theater to support the first domestically produced 3D martial arts movie, which once again boosted the popularity of the movie.

At the same time, the roadshow of "Back to 20" has also ended, and Liu Yifei and a group of main creators have returned to Beijing.

After all, it was a roadshow during the Chinese New Year, and Wei Jin felt a little embarrassed, so he specially treated the crew to a meal.

"Boss Wei, I took good care of Xixi. She hasn't gained any weight."

After Shu Chang and Wei Jin became familiar with each other, their relationship became more and more comfortable, and now his intention to take credit was very obvious.

The others also had a smile on their faces, obviously knowing the funny thing about "depriving the right to drink milk tea". Only Liu Yifei pouted her lips, looking a little unhappy.

"Not bad, you did a great job this time, there will be a big reward, haha"

During the meal, both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.

After the excitement died down, Wei Jin took the little girl back to the villa and went straight to the second floor.

Liu Xiaoli in the living room was no longer surprised by this and was just wondering whether she should get something for Wei Jin to replenish his body.

If Liu Yifei knew what Liu Xiaoli was thinking, the little girl would definitely not agree with it.

At this moment, she could hardly bear it anymore.

In the bathroom, Liu Yifei's pair of snow-white, slender thighs were stretched straight, her waist and abdomen were pulled forward, forming an attractive curve.

Wei Jin was seen holding her hips with one hand and her big orange with the other, and every time he played a card, he hit the girl's heart.

Liu Yifei, who was enduring the orgasm, could only hold on to the wall with both hands, trying her best to keep herself standing.

Just over half an hour had passed and Liu Yifei felt that she had lost several rounds, but the man seemed to have not played all his cards yet.

Just when she felt she could not hold on any longer, happiness finally came.

Carrying the exhausted girl into the bathtub, Wei Jin began to enjoy the relief brought by the hot water.

While caressing the girl's delicate body, Wei Jin started chatting with her.

"Yifei, what are your plans next?"

As if still flying in the clouds, Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment before she raised her head and answered.

"After I take the art exam at school, I will be busy with announcements from brands. I was too busy last year to take care of it, and they are almost dissatisfied."

At this point, a hint of helplessness appeared on the girl's delicate face.

"After I finish the announcement, I plan to take a break and not start work this year."

Wei Jin laughed in surprise when he heard this, but this was in line with the girl's personality. One play a year was definitely her limit.

Last year, for several months, I was busy filming and roadshowing, and in between I also took a trip to Venice. I was indeed too "diligent".

Wei Jin personally thought that if it weren't for Liu Xiaoli's encouragement, this little girl would probably stay at home picking her feet until the end of time.

But it’s better this way. Wei Jin was really worried that the little girl would have some new ideas and wouldn’t be able to find a suitable movie for her for a while.

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

"By the way, brother, mom suggested that I take advantage of this art exam to see if there are any good talents and sign them to Hongxingwu. Then I can be my own boss in the future. What do you think?"

"Well, that's possible. Look, Brother Xiao Ming, Li Bingbing, Zhao Yanzi and others have all started signing artists. I didn't realize that Auntie is quite smart."

"Of course, mom is so awesome," the little girl looked proud, but then she became a little discouraged.

"But brother, with my personality, can I really be a good boss? Sometimes I don't even want to take care of myself."

Looking at the girl's appearance, Wei Jin held her tight in his arms, holding her big orange breast in one hand and stroking her snow-white, slender thigh with the other.

"Yifei, everything can be learned slowly. No one is born to be a boss. You just need to not put pressure on yourself.

And there is no one who stipulates how many artists you must sign or how big your career must be. If you meet the right one and feel you have a liking for it, then it’s okay to sign it, right? "

In fact, Wei Jin had no requirements for the careers of the women, but as long as they liked it, Wei Jin was willing to support them.

"Of course, Auntie and I are just giving you some advice. Your own happiness is the most important thing."

"Well, I'll think about it."

After a night of love with Liu Yifei, Wei Jin came to the company refreshed.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Zhang Wen and another little girl chatting excitedly about something.

Getting closer, Wei Jin heard a familiar name, but was also discovered by Zhang Wen.

"Hello, Mr. Wei."

"Hello, Mr. Wei."

"Ah."

Wei Jin nodded amiably, then asked curiously, "What were you talking about just now?"

"Nothing, nothing."

The two girls shook their heads and denied it. It was working hours. Even though the boss was smiling, who knew if they would be punished? Capitalists were cold-blooded and ruthless.

"Don't worry, I won't punish you."

Seeing Wei Jin's smiling assurance, Zhang Wen couldn't suppress the urge to share gossip and handed over the phone.

"Boss Wei, something happened. The people of Chaoyang reported it and someone has been put in jail."

Wei Jin took the phone and looked at it, his face darkened.

"Mengying, notify all departments of the company to come to the meeting. The same goes for the subsidiary companies."

"Okay, boss."

Huang Mengying answered immediately. She had been in the company for nearly half a year, but this was the first time she had seen Wei Jin so serious, as if it was the calm before the storm.

In the huge conference room, Wei Jin was sitting in the boss chair, still digesting the news he had just seen.

Something happened in the family of Zhang Guoli, a veteran actor with whom Liuzi had previously worked together. Liuzi was still in the crew of "1942" when he was taken away directly.

The incident happened two days ago, but because it was covered up well, no one in the circle heard any news.

But it can't be suppressed now, the police have made the final decision on punishment.

At this point, Zhang Guoli publicly apologized on Weibo, saying that he had failed in his educational duties and felt deeply saddened and guilty about the matter.

Director and elder Feng Dapao also immediately came out to apologize.

All the actors in the entire "1942" crew, including the big and small Wangs of Huayi, and even most of the Beijing circle, apologized on behalf of Liuzi as uncles and other elders, and also pleaded with the public to give him a chance.

In other words, nearly half of the entertainment industry is pleading for Liuzi!
Honestly speaking, Liuzi's acting skills are pretty good. He has appeared with Zhang Guoli at cocktail parties a few times before. When Whiplash was just scheduled, Zhang called him, and it was obvious from his words that he was paving the way for his son.

Although Wei Jin likes to have fun, he still has his principles and bottom line. He cannot tolerate gambling or drugs!
It is absolutely impossible for him to cooperate with the half-brothers, Prince Long and Sixth Prince.

Now that Liuzi has touched that thing, he is useless. I wonder how long his good brother can hold on?

At this moment, Wei Jin felt a little sympathy for Xiao Ma.

A few days ago at Han Sanping's place, Wei Jin saw the movie "Border Storm" directed by Xiao Ma, which is scheduled to be released in August. Liuzi plays a drug enforcement police officer in it.

Now that the actor has touched this thing, how can the film be promoted? Xiao Ma has had a bad start.

However, the upcoming "Whiplash" may also be affected, which is also an unexpected disaster.

While Wei Jin was thinking, the company's senior executives had already entered the meeting room one after another, but when they saw his serious expression, they also became nervous.

Wei Jin tapped the table with his index finger, looked around, and said in a deep voice:
"I called everyone here to remind you that in the future, when hiring people for projects controlled by the company, background checks must be done in advance. Anyone with a crooked butt, a dirty hand, or who touches this stuff, regardless of their background, will be blacklisted. Don't lose the big picture for the small!"

Having said that, Wei Jin looked at Zhang Xu specifically, and the latter immediately stood up.

"Zhang Xu, you are in charge of managing the artists in the company. I don't want them to appear in the police report one day. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Wei. The company arranges physical examinations every year. We have repeatedly emphasized that the penalty for breach of contract is astronomical. The artists are aware of this. If this situation really happens, you can ask me for an explanation."

The boss spoke seriously, and Zhang Xu's heart trembled, and he quickly expressed his opinion.

"Also, the legal department needs to revise the company's external film contracts and add a clause. If the company's projects are affected due to the artist's reasons, the compensation for breach of contract will be based on the highest standards! Do you understand?"

"Understood, President Wei."

All the senior executives, including Chen Zhiming, nodded seriously.

"Oh, by the way, Lao Chen, Zhang Xu, notify all directors and artists under your company that no matter who begs for mercy, they are not allowed to say anything about this matter."

The relationships in the entertainment industry are extremely complicated, and Wei Jin doesn't want anyone in the company to get carried away and whitewash such things.

"Okay, Mr. Wei."

"Okay, that's it, let's adjourn the meeting."

After briefly explaining the matter, Wei Jin told everyone to disperse.

"It's rare to see President Wei so serious."

"Normal. Didn't you see that this clause is already listed in the artist's contract? This is President Wei's bottom line."

"What do you think these second-generation stars are thinking? How dare they touch something like this?"

"I don't know. Maybe he has a good father and is looking for excitement. But Feng Dapao was badly screwed this time. I don't know if his scenes in 1942 will be deleted."

“It’s unclear whether it will be deleted or not, but the film will definitely be affected.”

"Lao Zhang, please send me a list of artists you have background checked and have issues with."

A group of senior executives left the meeting room and began to discuss the matter, while also searching their minds for a list of artists with criminal records.

There is no doubt that these people have all been included in Shanhe Media’s blacklist.

From now on, any projects controlled by Shanhe Media and Jiahe will never be given to them again.
