During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 462 Project Announcement Assistant's New Attempt
North America, Beverly Hills.

After the matter of "Killing Cycle" was finalized, Wei Jin's life in North America got back on track.

Today is the day when a private doctor from the Mayo Clinic comes to give Da Meiyuan a prenatal check-up.

It is worth mentioning that, to be on the safe side, Wei Jin deliberately did not invite Professor Roosevelt, the family physician who was previously in charge.

After all, Sister Li’s reverse growth is already surprising enough. If there is another one that is even more exaggerated, Wei Jin is really worried that he will be caught and sliced ​​into pieces.

Fortunately, there are enough obstetricians in the Mayo Clinic, and not all of them like to ask in-depth questions.

Jenny, the female doctor who came this time, didn't care much about this issue. Perhaps in her opinion, indicators such as physical age were too affected by external factors and could not be accurate.

At this moment, the female doctor in her early forties with blonde hair was holding a report and introducing the situation to Wei Jin in detail, as well as reminding her of some precautions during pregnancy.

Although he had experienced the incident with Sister Li, Wei Jin was no longer a novice, but everyone's physical fitness was different, so he still listened very carefully.

About half an hour later, Wei Jin saw the medical team off and went to the second floor with the report.

Seeing that Da Meiyu was on the phone, I didn't interrupt her. I just walked over quietly and sat down next to her. I could vaguely hear some of what she was saying.

After a while, Gao Yuanyuan hung up the phone and her eyes fell on the information in Wei Jin's hand.

"Don't worry, Sister Yuanyuan. The doctor said you and the baby are both very healthy."

Wei Jin stroked Da Meiyuan's belly with one hand, while picking out some of the doctor's instructions and sharing them with her, and then became a little curious.

"Sister Yuanyuan, was that Sister Yu who called just now? She's still awake so late?"

"Well, she's still filming and just finished work now."

"Hmm? Is it still the movie 'The Great Migration South'? It took so long to shoot?"

Since the matchmaking in 08, Da Meiyuan and Yu Feihong's friendship has become even closer. They are good friends who can talk about almost anything. Wei Jin also knows a little about the movements of this senior sister from Beijing Film Academy.

As far as he knows, the project was approved at the end of last year and filming started in February this year. It is a TV series with less than 2 episodes. How long has it taken to shoot?

"Well, she said that the filming was not going well. I saw that she looked very thin in the photos she sent. But it is finally wrapping up soon, and she said that she will come over to accompany me when the time comes."

Wei Jin nodded. Not all crews were like the Shanhe Media team, with such thorough preparations in advance. Sometimes, when encountering emergencies, a lot of effort would be wasted.

Then he sighed, "Sister Yuanyuan, you said that Senior Sister Yu is already 40 years old, right? She has been single all these years, and there is no one around her who cares about her."

Da Meiyuan rolled her eyes at Wei Jin after hearing this: "What? You still want to send warmth? Isn't this little girl enough for you?"

This made Wei Jin laugh and cry, and he reached out and pinched Da Meiyuan's slightly round face.

"Oh my god, my sister Yuanyuan, what do you think about all day long?"

I have to say, pregnant women's brain circuits are really explosive.

Back home, Ye Ning, Zhang Wei and their entourage were stopped by the media as soon as they walked out of the airport.

"Boss Ye, is this flight to Hollywood about the new movie?"

"Mr. Ye, besides China Film Group and Wanda, who are the other investors?"

"Boss Ye, is this a co-production?"

"Mr. Ye."

A bunch of reporters, a series of questions, and rows of microphones, almost stuffing them into Ye Ning's mouth.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ning and Zhang Wei and their entourage immediately pushed the reporters aside and made room for them.

"I can tell you that we are indeed discussing a movie in Hollywood. The news will be announced in a few days."

Ye Ning and Zhang Wei both felt that it would be better to give this opportunity to be in the spotlight to Han Sanping.

But the reporters were obviously not satisfied and still surrounded the few people trying to get first-hand information.

Zhang Wei and Ye Ning finally got rid of the media siege and parted ways.

However, before the two of them returned to their respective offices, the news had spread within the circle.

"Wanda admitted that this trip to Hollywood was to collaborate on a new movie."

"China Film Group, Wanda Films, confirm cooperation on new film"

“The specifics of the project are unknown.”

When he came to North America, Wei Jin originally wanted to make an appointment with Matt and Leo to get together, after all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the first phone call went wrong. Matt was filming a biographical film "Behind the Candelabra" in Las Vegas.

However, after listening to Matt's narration, Wei Jin was a little worried because this was a movie about homosexuality.

"Matt, after the shoot, remember to see a psychiatrist. I don't want to see you next time because your orientation has changed."

"Oh~~ Wei, are you underestimating the strength of the Berlin Film Emperor? Not only can I get into the role quickly, I can also get out of it quickly.
By the way, Wei, my good brother, director Steven said that this movie will participate in the Cannes Film Festival next year. I have a strong feeling that it may win a big prize this time. Then I will have to treat Leon to a good meal, hahahaha."

Wei Jin shook his head as he listened. The love-hate relationship between these two people was really interesting.

"Okay, Wei, I won't say any more to you. The show here is about to begin. When you come over next time, we can have a good reunion."

"Okay, Matt, I should be in North America for a few months at the end of the year, let's get together then."

"Wait. How many months are you going to stay in North America? Do you have a new movie? An award-winning movie?"

"Yes, but unfortunately, Matt, this is a female-themed script, so..."

"That's good, Leon has no chance, hahahaha."

These words made Wei Jin laugh and cry. After hanging up the phone, he called Leo again.

Unexpectedly, Leo was also filming a comedy, "The Wolf of Wall Street", in Geneva.

Wei Jin started to tease over the phone.

"Leon, you've been too hardworking in the past two years. You've starred in three movies, The Great Gatsby, Django Unchained, and The Wolf of Wall Street. Do you still have time to date young Victoria's Secret models?"

"Oh, Wei, time management is an important course. I think we can discuss it next time we meet. It's been more than two years since we last met. Where's the script you promised me?"

"Hey, brother, don't worry, there is already a clue. I will tell you when I have perfected the script."

In fact, Wei Jin had kept it in mind as early as the year before last after Oscar promised Leon.

"Really? I'm really looking forward to it. By the way, don't tell Matt this time. He's very busy." "Hahaha"

Hearing this, Wei Jin thought of Matt's phone call just now and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Don't worry, I keep my word. If you don't want him, consider him again."

"Then it's settled."

"it is good."

On the domestic side, new projects of China Film Group and Wanda are still attracting attention.

People in the industry are speculating that this is most likely a co-production, because with the previous success of "Pacific Rim", co-production has become the mainstream.

But no one expected that China Film Group would be so efficient. The project was submitted in just two days, and all the complete information was published on China Film Group’s official website.

“Recorded name: “Killing Reincarnation”;
Project Type: A Sino-US co-production of a sci-fi disaster film;

Project investment: US$1.7 million;
Director: Doug Liman;
Screenwriter: Wei Jin;
Starring: Tom Cruise;

Producers: China Film Group, Shanhe Media, Warner Bros., Summit Entertainment, and Wanda Pictures. ”

Also announced were the investment shares of the five major producers.

As soon as the news came out, the circle was in an uproar.

It’s still the familiar formula, the same familiar taste, the same five major producers of “Pacific Rim”, and the same Wei and Jin script.

The difference is that it cost $1.7 million to make, with a bigger production cost, Tom Cruise joining the cast, and Doug Liman directing, with a stronger cast;

what does this mean?
This means that the final result is very likely to surpass "Pacific Rim", which is too tempting.

You know, Tom Cruise is known as the world's best-selling man. His presence basically means that the risk has been reduced to the extreme. Such a project is definitely a high-quality project.

The production companies in the industry are all jealous and are taking action in various ways.

Ren Zhonglun and Fatty Yu are in a bit of a dilemma right now. They previously felt that the project was unreliable, and now they are thinking about how to get on board.

Just as excited as the production company are the celebrities in the circle.

After all, there will definitely be Chinese actors involved in co-productions. Even if they are not high-quality roles, it is a rare opportunity to be able to act with top Hollywood stars!

North America, Beverly Hills.

Wei Jin lay lazily in the bathtub, enjoying the attentive service of his assistant Huang Mengying while answering Lao Wang's call.

In fact, this call from Lao Wang was not the first transatlantic call Wei Jin had received.

Since China Film Group announced the project, companies such as Yinghuang, Shanghai Film Group, Huayi, Bona Film Group, Xi'an Film Group, and even Star Media and Orange Sky have all called us.

Wei Jin dealt with the rest of the companies with the excuse that "shares are not transferable", but facing Wang Changtian's emotional appeal, he hesitated for a moment and then spoke directly to the point.

"Brother Wang, what Director Ren said at the celebration banquet before made some sense, but it didn't make much sense. Looking back at the past, what conditions could domestic production companies get when participating in Hollywood projects?
I believe you are also aware that in most cases, you only participate in the domestic box office sharing, and at most you can get the Asian box office sharing. However, the several projects initiated by me are all about discussing global sharing. How many companies do you think are qualified?

So it’s not that I don’t bring optical fiber, but if I bring it, I won’t be able to offer resources at a price in the negotiation, and the optical fiber will only be targeted, which will put us at a disadvantage as a whole. It’s too unwise.”

Wang Changtian on the other end of the phone was silent. Although Wei Jin's words were a bit harsh, they were true.

China Film Group owns cinema chains and controls the power of imported films, while Wanda owns the number one cinema chain in China and the number two cinema chain in North America, which greatly supports the project. Hollywood investors also recognize this strength and are willing to share the global box office.

But what do other production companies have? Passion? All they can offer is a premium.

But you have to know that in a mature film production industry, money is only the lowest level of resource.

After realizing this, Wang Changtian no longer had any thoughts about the co-production project. After chatting for a while, he hung up the phone.

Wei Jin also believed that after this incident, Lao Wang would probably not bother to co-produce films in the future.

At this time, Huang Mengying, who had been working hard for a long time, took a break and looked up to ask.

"Boss, I've received inquiries from many artists on my work phone. I followed your instructions and ignored them. But didn't you say that the roles have been decided? Why not announce them all at once?"

Huang Mengying's slightly flushed face showed confusion. It seemed as if the boss was trying to keep people in suspense, just like Aquaman keeping his dog on leash.

However, in Huang Mengying's opinion, this makes no sense at all. If the boss wants, he can even be the bridegroom every night.

As for those female stars who are pursuing progress, there is no need to fish them. As long as there is a gap, they will all pounce on you, even if the boss has not spread any bait, or even uses a straight hook.

Looking at Huang Mengying, whose face was rosy and whose eyes were full of charm, Wei Jin showed a playful expression on his face.

"Mengying, you can ask questions, but don't stop."

Noticing the boss's eyes falling on her chest, Huang Mengying understood instantly, reached out to hold her Xue Zi, and leaned down.

Unfortunately, some things do require talent. Although Huang Mengying is okay, barely getting a C-, she is obviously struggling with the operation.

After several attempts, Huang Mengying looked frustrated.

"Boss, I can't do it well."

Reaching out and touching the handful of snow, Wei Jin nodded.

"Okay, this is indeed a bit difficult for you, let's leave it like this for now, it's time for a midnight snack."

Hearing this, Huang Mengying slowly turned around and raised her beautiful buttocks high.

Wei Jin stood up and knelt in the bathtub, moving forward.

"Oh~~Boss~~~"

Wei Jin felt the warmth and tightness while slapping her hips, explaining:
"It was the decision of Chairman Han of China Film Group not to announce it for the time being. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to stir up the hype again."

To be honest, although Wei Jin felt that Han Sanping's idea was unnecessary, he could understand it.

If we throw out all the trump cards at once, won’t the heat be over?
This was the case with "Inception" and "Pacific Rim", and even many domestic film and television drama projects are like this.

For example, Zhang Da Hu Zi is very good at hype. Almost every time he decides on a role, a lot of news will be released to attract the audience's attention.

After all, it is an investment of 1.7 million US dollars, so no amount of publicity and hype is excessive.

But at this moment, Huang Mengying obviously no longer cared about this issue. Her pretty face was slightly red and covered with fine beads of sweat. It was not known whether it was caused by the mist or because the game of cards came too fast.

On the snow-white, round, plump and elastic buttocks,
