During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 591 Who to choose as the new assistant? Terrifying appeal

"The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" has officially opened casting. Some female roles will be played by newcomers. The roles available for audition have been announced. Companies and actors in the industry are welcome to submit their audition resumes."

As the chief producer of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", an announcement from Chen Hong directly attracted the attention of the entire film and television industry.

It is already a very rare thing for a big director to publicly cast a role, but it is even rarer that poet Chen is going to use new actors this time.

Although with the rise of Wei and Jin dynasties and the continued success of Zhang Yimou, the value of Chen's poetry has been declining.

But it is undeniable that the Golden Palm is enough for him to live on for the rest of his life.

Everyone in the circle knows that Wei Jin generally does not use newcomers, but Zhang Yimou will occasionally give them a chance.

But after joining Shanhe Media, Zhang Yimou has lost this fine tradition, and his "Mou Girls" may become a thing of the past!
This is the new film directed by the Palme d'Or director. For a new actress, it is definitely a great opportunity to achieve success!
Even if poet Chen's performance is still poor, at least his resume for his first play will be extremely brilliant!
At one time, countless art students in school and major brokerage companies all took action.

"What? Mengying, do you have an idea too? How about I give Chen Hong a call?"

In the office, Wei Jin put down the resume in his hand, looked at Huang Mengying who was concentrating on browsing her phone, and couldn't help but make a joke.

"Boss, you teased me again."

The young assistant Huang Mengying pouted and threw a coquettish glance. She originally had the healing style, but after years of training and nourishment by Wei Jin, she became more and more feminine.

"What? You don't trust me to help you get the role?"

Wei Jin pretended to be angry, and Huang Mengying sat in his arms, her voice soft and sticky.

"How can I not believe it? The boss is a big shot in the entertainment industry, who dares not to give him face?"

Having followed Wei Jin for two years, Huang Mengying has seen too much of the world and has no doubts about her boss's ability.

"Crack~"

Wei Jin patted the black silk hip skirt hard, "Hehe, Mengying is really sweet, come, let the boss have a taste."

After saying this, Wei Jin kissed those soft red lips that were full of youthfulness, and his hands unconsciously took control of the situation.

"Um~~Boss, stop making trouble~~"

Huang Mengying responded instinctively, but soon remembered that she had other important things to do, so she pushed Wei Jin away and pointed at the table.

"You haven't finished reading the resume yet. Decide on it soon so that the administration can arrange a background check."

The filming of "Lost in Thailand" was delayed because Huang Bo was recording "Go Fighting", but the time Huang Mengying can stay with Wei Jin is limited, and she hopes to serve her last shift well.

"Hey, Mengying, it won't hurt to look at your resume."

Seeing the teasing expression on Wei Jin's lips, Huang Mengying instantly understood what the man meant. She bit her red lips and slowly squatted down.

To be honest, she hasn't received any care from her boss for some time, so of course she wants it.

"Oh~~"

While feeling the gentle embrace, Wei Jin picked up the resume on the table and continued to look through it.

Since the announcement of the assistant position in August, over 400 resumes have been submitted in just over a month.

After all, with China's population base, there are too many beauties, not to mention that there are many who think they are beauties.

Even though I have asked Huang Mengying to screen quite a few of them during this period, there are still dozens left.

But after all, she is a personal assistant, so we cannot be careless in choosing the person. In addition to meeting our aesthetic standards, we must also choose someone who doesn't have any problems.

In the stack of information, Wei Jin saw many familiar figures, Zhao Yihuan, Xu Dongdong, Zhang Yuxi
Height, leg length, measurements, all the data are clearly presented on the resume, just like a beauty pageant.

However, when he turned to the next page, Wei Jin raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Milk Tea Sister had also submitted a resume.

Looking at the resume, Wei Jin had to admit that this girl was really capable.

A student of Tsinghua University Class of 11, he got a place as an exchange student to North America in the second semester of his sophomore year. He is truly a top student.

"But, should we break up her marriage with Brother Dong?"

"Boss, what did you say?"

"Oh, nothing. Don't stop."

Feeling the pleasure continue, Wei Jin continued to focus on his resume.

About ten minutes later, Wei Jin picked out a dozen resumes and put them aside.

"Mengying, hand these over to the administrative office later."

Looking at the film market in September, there is almost nothing to be proud of, and there is not a single standout film.

Han Han's film "A City" failed from the start. In less than ten days, it was removed from the screening list by the theaters, and the final box office revenue was less than 600 million.

There are many analyses in the industry about the reasons for the poor box office performance.

On the one hand, the publicity was not strong enough. Many of Han Han’s book fans did not even know that the movie adapted from the novel was released.

So judging from publicity and hype alone, Guo Xiaosi is indeed a talent.

On the other hand, the main cast is a bit disappointing. The director is unknown, and the leading actor is actually the Dragon Prince.

Compared to the appeal that Cheng Long has accumulated through decades of hard work and daring to fight, the second-generation Prince Long is obviously not even a little bit inferior.

Zhang Yimou's film "Into the Dust" is no exception.

After three weeks of release, the box office grossed 1.45 million yuan, but the daily box office has fallen below one million, and its potential has been exhausted.

As for other domestic films such as "Time Lovers" by Saozi Lu and "Noah's Ark" by Mayday, they all ended in failure.

And just at this time, "Big Shot" was released.

The theater chain is very optimistic about this action film, which was written and directed by Wei Jin, and compares it to "The Thieves".

In addition to the affiliated theaters of the three producers, Shanhe, Wanda, and China Film, which gave 65% of the screenings, the rest of the theaters with good cooperation, such as Shanghai New Film Association and Dadi Cinema, also basically had more than 55%.

The overall average screening rate of "Big Shot" is as high as 58%, which is rare considering that there are dozens of movies released every month on average nowadays.

There is no way around it. Cinemas also need to make money. The entire National Day period depends on this wave.

However, "Big Shot" is indeed worthy of the screening schedule. On the first day of its release, it closed in 7460 million, almost catching up with the first-day performance of "Pacific Rim".

And because the timeline was advanced, Wei Jin's lead actor was replaced by Bao Beier, so the movie has a good reputation online.

The Impression.com score is 7.6, which means there is great potential for follow-up.

I can’t say that it can survive the one-month release period, but at least there will be no problem in starting the Wushuang harvesting mode during the National Day holiday.

So it’s only the first day of the release of “Big Shot”, but the industry has already reached a consensus:

It is no surprise that the box office of "Big Shot" will exceed 10 billion, and it is even likely to surpass "The Thieves".

The only uncertainty is whether it can break through 15 billion or even surpass the performance of "Pacific Rim"!

As it turned out, as expected by the industry, in the absence of any competitors during the same period, Wei and Jin's terrifying appeal was fully realized.

The box office of "Big Shot" continued to rise, closing at 7580 million on the second day. On the third day, it broke the 8000 million mark, closing at 8160 million.

Before the holiday season even began, "Big Shot" had already raked in 2.32 million yuan at the box office, which is truly horrific.

Countless producers in the industry feel fortunate that they did not stubbornly choose this National Day period, otherwise they would have been used as a stepping stone for others.

The main creative team were all extremely excited, as if they had been given an injection of chicken blood. They did not take a break during the holiday and were still busy with the roadshow for the next stop.

Even Fan Bingbing and Yang Mi continued to promote the film on Weibo, calling on fans to go to the theaters to watch the movie.

On the contrary, Wei Jin, the director, was not paying too much attention to the box office at the moment. While he and his two wives were packing up, he was also thinking about what to do in the evening.

Han Sanping's retirement party is tonight, and Wei Jin is having a bit of a headache, not knowing whether to bring any gifts.

Logically speaking, given Han Sanping's status, it is indeed not appropriate for him to accept gifts, but he is retired now.

As if she noticed Wei Jin's troubles, Sister Li walked over.

"Xiao Jin, I don't think you need to bring anything. Just take care of Xiao Han in the future."

Zeng Li's words awakened the dreamer, and Wei Jin clapped his hands instantly.

"Yes, isn't this birthday party for Han Zong held for Junior Sister Han? Sister Li, you are really my good wife, mua"

Wei Jin hugged the soft body and kissed Zeng Li on her increasingly delicate and charming cheek.

Just as he was about to take action, the beauty stopped him.

"Stop making trouble~~The child is still here~~"

"Okay, then I'll slowly reward Sister Li when we get to the island."

At six o'clock in the evening, Wei Jin set out from his Yanjiao villa and headed all the way to the venue of Lao Han's retirement banquet - a mountain villa in the suburbs of Beijing.

However, during the National Day holiday, the traffic conditions in Beijing were really amazing. I was stuck in traffic for more than an hour and it was already past seven o'clock before I arrived.

So the speed of travel really has nothing to do with what car you drive, and Mazda is indeed a bit wronged.

After Lao Zhu parked the car, Wei Jin got out and saw Han Jianu standing at the door as a receptionist, who was receiving Fatty Yu and Jin Qiao who had just taken over.

Wei Jin had to admit that Han Jianu was usually a little out of touch, but she behaved very well on occasions like today, and there was nothing wrong with her words and actions.

And just as Zeng Li said, almost no guests brought any gifts. At least Fatty Yu just now should have come empty-handed.

"Junior sister, you should change into a cheongsam, so that you can look like a welcoming guest."

Wei Jin walked up and teased, saying that the banquet hall was so small and Han Jianuo was standing here, so she couldn't just pretend not to see.

"What do you mean by welcoming guests? I am the host greeting guests."

Han Jianv finally met Wei Jin who could joke, so she didn't act politely and immediately teased him:
"But, Senior Brother, why are you alone today? Where are my sisters-in-law?"

Wei Jin's romanticism was no secret in the industry, but Han Jianu was not disgusted. At least he was much more responsible than the fat man who had just entered.

"I was afraid they would fight at your father's birthday party, so I didn't want to cause trouble for Director Han, hahaha."

"."

Han Jianv was speechless. So you are still very proud, right?
"Okay, brother, I can't argue with you. Go in quickly. My dad asked me to greet everyone here today, so I can't leave."

"Okay, see you later."

As Wei Jin expected, Han Sanping's guests today were all big names in the industry.

Almost all the top executives of the industry's leading companies were present. Even Huayi, which had a bad relationship with Han Sanping, sent Wang Zhonglei to attend.

In addition, there are many directors in the circle. At a glance, Chen Shishi, Ning Hao, Gu Changwei, Jiang Wen, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Chen Kexin, Wu Baige, Xu Ke.
Basically all the famous directors were present, even Zhang Yimou took a leave from the crew of "Coming Home".

However, when Wei Jin saw Feng Dapao’s vitiligo becoming increasingly severe, he felt like laughing.

At the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony a few days ago, Feng Dapao became a joke again.

It was nominated for eight awards, but did not win Best Picture or Best Director. Among the core awards, only Zhang Guoli won the Best Actor award.

Even so, he still shares the Double Yolk Egg Best Actor award with Huang Xiaoming.

Feng Dapao, who was humiliated, started to criticize again online, saying that he could not understand what these experts were doing.

In his words, the number of films made by all these experts combined may not be as many as he has made alone!
Unfortunately, this time, netizens did not stand on Feng Dapao's side.

There was a lot of ridicule and mockery on the Internet. Who asked Feng Dapao to vow two years ago that he would never participate in the Golden Rooster Awards?

He just asked himself to be slapped in the face, who can he blame?
"Wei Jin, this way."

Wei Jin looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was the protagonist of the evening, Han Sanping.

At this time, Han Sanping was sitting with Ren Zhonglun and several other bigwigs from state-owned enterprises. The atmosphere at the table seemed to be pretty good, and there was no sign of the tit-for-tat that had characterized them in the past.

However, Wei Jin just smiled and shook his head, then walked directly towards the table where Ning Hao, Lao Mouzi and others were sitting.

Because tonight is Han Sanping's home court, if Wei Jin goes there he will definitely steal the show, so it would be better for him to hide here and have some free time.

However, sometimes, socializing is something that cannot be avoided, especially when one reaches the level of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

After a short while, many people came over to say hello, all of them were top-tier actors in the industry, and some had even entered the capital industry.

After all, at an occasion like today, those who are not famous enough will not be invited at all.

But it is also because of this that the network resources at tonight's dinner are particularly valuable. Several big names have brought their juniors with them, such as Cheng Long, Zhang Guoli, Wang Jinhua and others.

After a round of socializing, the banquet officially began at around eight o'clock in the evening.

As expected, Han Sanping's main purpose tonight was to pave the way for Han Jianv.

After briefly expressing his retirement thoughts, Han Sanping, smiling, holding a glass of wine, took Han Jianuo to each table.

Soon, Han Sanping came over with Han Jianu.

This was not the first time Wei Jin had drunk with Han Sanping, but it was the first time he was toasted by him.

I have to say, the old father's love for his daughter is truly deep.

"From now on, please take good care of this beautiful girl."

"It's my duty, Mr. Han."

"Don't worry, Mr. Han."

Wei Jin could tell that there was some sincerity in the responses of most people.

Because no matter how domineering Han Sanping is, it cannot erase the great contributions he has made to the domestic film industry during his years in office.

No one would refuse Han Sanping's last request.

Because of this, the atmosphere of this retirement banquet was very good and it lasted for more than three hours.

This also officially announced that Zuoshan Diao, who had dominated the film and television industry for more than ten years, had completely become a thing of the past.
