During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 403: Boss Wei's Situation

At the end of February, Zhao Yanzi's film "So Young", which had been in preparation for half a year, held a launch conference in Beijing.

As the school's most famous star artist and a graduate student in the directing department, the Beijing Film Academy has high hopes for Zhao Yanzi's debut work, or rather, it hopes to produce another genius like Wei Jin.

So at this press conference, not only the directing department and the acting department showed up to show their support, but even the school leaders were in attendance.

However, the person who is most optimistic about Zhao Yanzi is Wang Changtian.

It is said that the cost of this drama was 30 million when it was launched last year, but when it came time to start filming, Zhao Yanzi suddenly doubled the budget. While other investors were hesitant, Guangdong took on the entire project.

With this 7 million yuan invested, Fiber Optic directly became the largest producer of "So Young", with an investment ratio of nearly %.

This was the first time Wei Jin saw that Wang Changtian was so optimistic about a newcomer that he called him out of curiosity.

"Hey, brother, do you think I'm optimistic about her directing ability?"

Lao Wang seemed to have been tickled and was intent on showing off his vision. He gave the answer directly before Wei Jin could even speak.

"No, Zhao Yanzi's greatest advantage is her appeal as an actress and the subject matter of the film."

Wei Jin nodded. Lao Wang was indeed a big shot who had been active in the film and television industry for more than a decade. He still had good vision.

Although Zhao Yanzi has been involved in a lot of scandals due to her various outrageous actions, those few Qiong Yao dramas have given her dozens of layers of BUFFs. They are so brainwashing that they can be said to be a must-see during holidays.

In other words, Zhao Yanzi's national popularity is the highest in the country.

Coupled with the nostalgic elements of youth films, there will be absolutely no problem for "So Young" to perform well at the box office.

"But brother, I heard from Director Han that you didn't like him at the time?"

"It's not that I didn't like her, but the share was too small at that time, and I was too lazy to invest. Plus, as you know, I don't like her very much."

Wei Jin shrugged. There are many ways to make money. Even though he knew that this movie would make a lot of money, he still didn't want to deal with Zhao Yanzi.

As the saying goes, money cannot buy my willingness, that's all.

As the film and television industry becomes more and more prosperous, films with investments of over 100 million yuan are common.

What can you do with 60 million?
Even a new director like Zhao Yanzi can get an investment of 60 million.

But 60 million is really a huge sum of money for Xiying.

The movie "Qian Xuesen" was produced exclusively by Xiying with an investment of 60 million yuan.

To be honest, it is almost impossible for this kind of movie to make a profit, but it still has to be made because it is of great significance.

At the premiere, Xiying's president Deng took Wei Jin aside and talked for a long time. It was obvious that this old film studio had reached the end of its rope.

But Wei Jin had no choice. Xi'an Film Studio was located in a desolate area and was far inferior to China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group, which were backed by the political and economic center of China, had the top three art schools in the country, and controlled a large number of industry resources.

It can be said that the decline of Xiying is inevitable and will never be changed by human will.

Unless Shanhe Media moves collectively to the jurisdiction of Xiying, relying on the company's strong manufacturing capabilities, there may be a chance to revitalize it.

But Wei Jin is not a fool. Would he ignore the ready-made convenient conditions and create difficulties for himself?

As for letting Xiying participate in its own projects to prolong its life? That is simply a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. It is just a drop in the bucket.

Wei Jin was really busy these two days, and he attended the premiere of "A Simple Life" the next day.

When Wei Jin met the main creators on the scene, he clearly felt that director Xu Anhua was in a good mood.

It is no wonder that "A Simple Life" was a huge success in Venice last year, and subsequently won many awards at the Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong, and was even regarded by the media as a strong contender for this year's Academy Awards.

Nowadays, Xu Anhua has become very famous in the film and television circles, and it is said that he has been signed to a film by star artist Tan Hong for a large sum of money.

The leading actor, King Liu, was also very happy as he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor last year and was nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards this year.

This is an art film that has brought great benefits to the main creators.

Of course, as the producer, Golden Harvest has definitely gained both fame and fortune. It’s hard to imagine how much the stock price alone has increased.

After greeting his friends, King Liu came over and said hello.

"Director Wei, long time no see."

"Brother Hua, I wish you win the Academy Award in advance, haha."

“It’s hard to say.”

King Liu spoke modestly, but the curve of his lips betrayed his inner thoughts.

"Is my sister-in-law going to give birth soon?"

"Well, there are still two months."

Wei Jin and King Liu chatted casually, and soon the premiere began.

The premiere of "A Simple Life" was quite successful. In addition to the film winning numerous awards, Ann Hui also shot it very well, and many female audience members burst into tears on the spot.

Wei Jin feels that perhaps the box office can bring him some surprises.

On the other hand, after two days of fermentation, the "bullying incident" intensified, and Yin Xiaotian's career and life suffered huge negative impacts.

Yin Xiaotian, unable to bear it any longer, finally chose to call the police.

When one party is serious, public opinion begins to waver. After all, the woman said so much, why didn't she call the police? Beating someone is illegal.

What no one expected was that the crew said that the surveillance video was taken away immediately.

The person who took it was the boss of the show's producer, Juli Yangzi.

It seems that public opinion is beginning to waver again. After all, Yangzi should have seen the video. Since he chose to ask Yin to apologize, did Yin really hit someone?

The reversal came quickly. The police did not speculate and found Yangzi immediately. The latter reluctantly released the video.

This time, the Internet was boiling.

In the surveillance video, Bian Xiaoxiao was seen pointing her finger at Yin Xiaotian and walking towards him, cursing. A staff member saw that something was not right and stepped forward to stop her, but Yin Xiaotian simply pushed Bian Xiaoxiao away. There was no "hair pulling" or "beating" as she said.

This was also the only time the two had physical contact in the video, which was the photo Yangzi had previously taken a screenshot of.

Even a blind man can see who the victim is.

Netizens are indeed easy to fool, but once they are discovered, their attacks will be fully unleashed. At this moment, those celebrities who swore that the man hit others were attacked by netizens.

Time 1979: "Too cheap! This woman is so shameless. She is really good at making something out of nothing and biting back!"

Hechu Guyangren: "Didn't Du Chun say that he had investigated everything? How did he do it? He just said it? And you still call him a friend? It's a pity that Yin Xiaotian even wished you a happy birthday. This kind of dog is more like a friend than a friend. He will stab you in the back."

ds can't afford to be with A: "Didn't Jia Nailiang also swear that the story was true? And you said girl, don't cry, don't cry, you are paralyzed, and now you are pretending to be dead?"

Stubborn Ajun: "Fortunately, I am more rational. Wei Jin is right. Let's let the bullets fly for a while. But shouldn't these bastards apologize to others? Where are they? Are they dead?"

Ruo Xinghan Tiankong: "The most hateful one is Yangzi, right? This bastard has evidence but still slanders others. If it were me, I would fight him to the end!"

Huaiqing Zhanchen: "Hehe, you guys are still too young. Let me analyze this. Who is Bian Xiaoxiao? He is a student of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, Class of 01. He is a classmate of Wang Luodan, Huang Shengyi, and Jia Nailiang. Aren't these people just picking sides without thinking?

The others, Du Chun, Li Chen, Bao Jianfeng and others, are competitors of Yin Xiaotian. Didn’t you see that Heilan Home’s endorsement has been changed? These guys are ready to kill anyone they can, hehe.”

Under the concentrated fire from netizens, all the celebrities who falsely accused Yin Xiaotian quietly deleted their previous Weibo posts, but no one came out to apologize, as if the incident had never happened.

What's worse, there are people who even come out to advise the man to be more generous and not to care about it.

Only the person involved, under pressure, came out to offer a bland apology, and his words were quite perfunctory, saying that he was overly emotional and did not mean it.

But the excited netizens didn't buy it. The Weibo accounts of those pretending to be dead were directly flooded with messages, which triggered another melee.
"Brother, isn't he too miserable? It is said that all his acting offers, announcements, and endorsements have been ruined."

Watching the farce on the Internet, Jing Tian couldn't help but say that the little girl was beautiful and kind-hearted, but she couldn't bear to see others being wronged.

"There's nothing we can do. His agency is too weak, and those people are backed by Huayi. Who in the industry is willing to risk offending Huayi and speak up for him?"

This kind of thing is too common in the entertainment industry. Many times, being attacked is not your fault at all. Being weak is your original sin.

For the same thing, if Yin Xiaotian is replaced by Huang Xiaoming or Qiao Zhenyu, it is hard to say how the public opinion will go.

Not to mention the strength of the company behind him, the number of fans, and a large group of friends in the circle, his status alone is enough to make many people with ulterior motives think carefully.

To put it bluntly, Yin Xiaotian's strength is too weak, while the resources he has obtained are too abundant, making him coveted.

"But these people are really disgusting. They are pretending to be dead. Let me wake them up."

Seeing that her lover was about to take action, Jing Tian immediately handed over the laptop in her arms.

"Brother, I'm watching you today."

Wei Jin did not hesitate, he took the computer and started to organize his words. Although this kind of thing was common in the circle, someone had to speak up and say something fair, and he, Wei Jin, had just the energy to do so.

"I have been following the news these days. I didn't want to speak out, but when I think of the movie 'The Hunt' I filmed, if I have the ability to speak out but still choose to remain silent, wouldn't I also be the perpetrator of violence to some extent? So I would like to say a few words about the 'stabbing incident'.

As public figures, celebrities’ every word and action has a wide influence, so they should be more careful in what they say and do, and try their best to be role models for their fans and moviegoers in public and guide them to have correct values.

Even a child knows that if one realizes one is wrong one must correct it and if one is beaten one must stand at attention. Previously, he had been so sure and indignant, even insulting and slandering the person involved. Now are he just going to pretend that nothing happened?
If this is the case, I have serious doubts about the character of these people, and the company will refuse any cooperation in the future."

Honestly speaking, "protecting one's relatives for their own safety" or even "helping one's relatives but not others" are not considered a big problem in Wei Jin's eyes. He himself is such a person, and it is just human nature.

But no matter what the reason is, these people slandered, defamed, and libeled others, and even to some extent guided their fans to attack and expose others online. Now that the truth has come to light, they should at least apologize, right?
This wasn't even a punishment, it was just a statement of attitude. Wei Jin felt that he had been very polite.

In other words, the person involved, Yin Xiaotian, has nothing to do with Wei Jin, otherwise he would have killed all of these people.

Wei Jin's Weibo post was quickly reposted by netizens, and everyone was delighted.

A native: "Fuck, finally a big boss speaks up. I'm almost pissed off by these people!"

Chengzhou Scholar: "Damn, a bunch of people are pretending to be dead. Have you forgotten how you cursed before?"

Wanchen Xieyang: "Yin Xiaotian is so miserable. He was framed, stabbed by his friends, attacked by netizens, and his endorsements were lost, and his acting offers were also cancelled."

Get up and watch the grassland: "How similar is this to the plot in Let the Bullets Fly? A group of people are making a big fuss and attacking someone, and now they have opened up his stomach to prove how many bowls of noodles he ate, but these people don't care at all, as if nothing happened. Damn it."

South has north wind: "Just a bunch of garbage."

Five seconds is less than three seconds: "It has to be Wei Jin, the artist of Star Culture, none of them would get involved in this matter, right?"

"."

Looking at the comments online, Jing Tian's face was full of smiles.

"Brother Muamua, you are awesome, like a hero upholding justice."

Wei Jin rubbed the little girl's head lovingly, "I don't want to be a hero."

"why?"

"The ending of a hero is usually not good, not to mention..."

Wei Jin's words aroused the girl's curiosity. She put her arms around his neck, tilted her head and asked, "What's more?"

Wei Jin curled his lips and whispered softly into the girl's ear. His hot breath made her body slightly tense.

"Besides, being a hero doesn't make it easy to do bad things, like this."

As he spoke, one of Wei Jin's hands had already slipped into her pajamas, firmly grasping Daju, while the other hand was caressing the girl's buttocks, as if he wanted to invade the mysterious territory.

Feeling the man's actions and the teasing on his lips, Jing Tian's face flushed, she bit her red lips lightly, and spoke coquettishly.

"Brother, you are not a hero, you are just a bad guy. Ugh."

Wei Jin blocked the girl's mouth and turned over to press on her.
Just when Wei Jin and Jing Tian were having a romantic relationship, his Weibo post also caused an uproar in the circle.

You have to know that as the head of China's largest entertainment group, Wei Jin's status is no joke.

He just posted a Weibo post without even naming anyone, but within just over an hour, several celebrities publicly apologized.

Dong Xuan, Wang Luodan, Xue Jianing, Wen Zhang and his wife, Bao Jianfeng
Looking at the familiar stars one by one, netizens exclaimed wow.

X10969: "See, these people don't know they are wrong at all, they are just pretending to be stupid. As soon as the boss spoke, they immediately came out to express their opinions."

1.5-meter-tall Baolan: "Fuck, why does this feel even more disgusting?"

Zhanlan Chuxin: "No matter what, Boss Wei is mighty and domineering! I will be his die-hard fan from now on."

Coffee + Coke: "Du is still pretending to be dead, brothers, go after him."

It’s impossible to eat coriander: “Damn it, come out and apologize!!”
