During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 593: The Man You Need to Look Up to When Playing Mahjong
In the southern hemisphere, in a villa on the Great Barrier Reef, Wei Jin, his second wife, and assistant Liu Yan were playing mahjong.

Two days have passed since the incident involving the Taiwanese actor.

As Wei Jin expected, this incident attracted the attention of many netizens.

Jiang Wenli and Huang Xuan kept a low profile, and the issue of their relationship between an older woman and a younger man has subsided. There are only some sporadic discussions online.

Even the box office of "Big Shot" has not been affected too much in the past two days, and has basically remained at a high level of 80 to 90 million.

During these two days, Wei Jin also took the three beauties to play around the island, and even tried sea fishing yesterday.

After being blown by the wind for an entire afternoon, Wei Jin admitted that he was not the kind of person who could endure the patience of fishing.

However, the beauties were lucky and did not return empty-handed.

Today is Da Meiyu's birthday. After finishing their daytime activities, the group set off a large number of fireworks on the island. Finally, at the suggestion of the birthday girl, the four of them played mahjong.

There was no other way. Wei Jin was too energetic. If he didn't play mahjong, he would have to play mahjong on the bed. Gao Yuanyuan really couldn't stand it anymore.

Wei Jin had no objection to this, since the birthday guy was the oldest after all.

Zeng Li, who was sitting on Wei Jin's left at this time, took the cards and quickly threw one out.

"Four barrels."

"bump."

After Da Meiyuan, the next player in Wei Jin, touched the cards, he glanced at the cards on the table and made a decision.

"Nine tubes."

Wei Jin knew that he was in trouble as soon as he saw Zeng Li smile and then push down the three cards in front of him.

"Bang."

"Ah, Sister Li, you're already playing with the tube, why are you still fighting?"

"If I don't tick, how can you play the card you are relying on?"

Zeng Li taught a little trick, but Da Meiyu's attention was not on it at all. She just clasped her hands together and started mumbling.

"Please, please, I'm the birthday girl today, please don't bloom."

"."

Wei Jin was almost speechless. When Da Meiyuan played cards, it was exactly the same as when she was watching TV series.

The key point is that her card skills are particularly bad. She gives away a lot of cards in almost every hand. If everyone hadn't intentionally let her go, she would have lost all the chips she had prepared long ago.

Unfortunately, Da Meiyu's prayer did not work this time. After Zeng Lishun touched a card, a big smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, I drew two cards by myself, and I have a pair of cards and a flower on the gang. Every family has it. Give me money, give me money."

"Hey" x2
Wei Jin and Liu Yan sighed at the same time, then counted the chips and handed them over.

However, Da Meiyuan was still full of energy. "Come on, come on, fight to the bitter end. Xiao Jin, I will get back what I lost just now from you."

"Sister Yuanyuan, as long as you are happy, hehe."

This mahjong game lasted until midnight and ended when all the big dollar chips were lost.

However, Wei Jin was very particular and that very night he gave Dameiyuan several hundred million in start-up capital, which moved the elder sister so much that she burst into tears.

Of course, he did not favor one over the other, but treated them all equally, and Zeng Li and Liu Yan both returned home with a full load.

The casting for "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" was quite lively, but no one in the industry expected that the first person to be confirmed would be the male lead, Wang Baoqiang.

As soon as the news came out, almost all the male actors who auditioned could not accept it.

They totally don't understand why the directors in the circle are so fond of this grassroots, non-professional actor.

Let’s take a closer look at the directors Wang Baoqiang has worked with since his debut. Who are they?

Feng Dapao, Ning Hao, Lu Yang, Cao Baoping, Chief Jia, and Chen Shishi, almost all of them are big directors. Even the new director Xu Zheng, his movie "Lost in Thailand" had a box office of 10 billion!

Especially this time in "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", poet Chen had to audition women across the country for the role of Wang Baoqiang in the play. The treatment was really fucking exaggerated.

However, Wang Baoqiang is really a good person. He immediately expressed his gratitude to poet Chen on Weibo, and expressed his expectation to join "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain".

Although he is not well educated, it has to be said that Wang Baoqiang is really impeccable as a human being.

Wei Jin lazily lay on the beach chair, clicked the "like" button on Wang Baoqiang's Weibo, and then turned his gaze to the three women playing on the beach.

I have to say that Liu Yan's figure is really amazing. When she wears a bikini, her proud figure seems to be about to burst the thin cloth.

Although Zeng Li and Da Meiyuan's performances were not that exaggerated, they also improved significantly after having children.

Three delicate bodies of different styles, against the backdrop of blue sea, blue sky, sunny beach, form a perfect landscape painting that is refreshing and pleasant.

Putting down his phone, Wei Jin, wearing colorful shorts, strode in.

For a moment, the coast was filled with laughter and joy.
No one in the circle expected that there would be so many melons to eat during this National Day.

First there was the sister-brother relationship between Huang Xuan and Jiang Wenli, and then there was the "prostitute-hiring scandal" involving a Taiwanese young actor. Before we had time to digest it, Lin Gengxin came out to get involved.

At the beginning of the year, the Shanghai Intermediate People's Court ruled that Lin Gengxin would be completely free since October this year.

For a full seven or eight months, Lin Gengxin behaved very low-key. Even when he got the optical fiber for "My Deskmate", he never came out to provoke.

But now that he had just regained his freedom, he could no longer hold back and directly posted a Weibo post to criticize the sugar man.

"I finally escaped from that wolf den that eats people without leaving any bones. I am free! No one may believe it, but my salary for these years was paid to me only after I filed a lawsuit. How dare you fool newcomers like this? Tangren is the number one film and television company in Shanghai?

As a person who has been through it, I want to warn all newcomers to be cautious when signing contracts and not to be fooled easily. Otherwise, if you join the sugar man industry, you will only be able to do odd jobs and waste your youth.

In fact, I am not the only one who was fooled. Rouba was fooled into signing a 15-year contract. This kind of contract is unheard of in the entertainment industry. Sugar Man is simply a black shop."

At the end of the Weibo post, Lin Gengxin also directly exposed how Tangren had hired internet trolls to harm celebrities over the years.

Although no names were mentioned, many fans of the stars identified themselves with the characters.

Among them are fans of Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others. Their number is so large that they directly overwhelmed Tangren’s official Weibo.

Public opinion in the media, within the circle and on the Internet suddenly arose, and the popularity and topic level soared instantly.

"This is too much, this is too much!!"

In the office of Shanghai Tangren Film and Television, Ms. Cai was furious as she read the long article on the headlines.

According to past practice, it is time for Sugar Man’s 300,000 navy soldiers to teach Lin Gengxin a lesson.

But what an ungrateful person, he actually directly exposed the matter of the water army. If he acts now, wouldn’t it confirm this "accusation"?
"Call the police and sue him for malicious slander and defamation."

"."

The assistant was somewhat helpless. Would the police really care about such a thing? Even if she sued, could she really win? Of course, Ms. Cai also understood this truth and suppressed her anger.

"Send a lawyer's letter to warn him and tell him to shut up!"

"clear."

Time flies and the National Day holiday is over.

In the film market, "Big Shot" was released for ten days and grossed a total of 8.43 million yuan.

This data shocked countless people in the industry.

If things continue like this, the box office of "Big Shot" might actually break the 15 billion mark. That's really terrifying!

"Wei Jin is really awesome, it's only been a short time."

In the Huayi conference room, Wang Zhongjun sighed.

He still clearly remembers that when "Those Years" was released, Huayi regarded Wei Jin as a minion.

It has only been eight or nine years, and even though Huayi has been listed on the stock market with a market value of over 60 billion, it still needs to look up to that young man.

"Yeah, the key is that the box office data is good, and the copyright price is also amazing. I heard that the copyright of just three movies in Venice was more than 1 million US dollars. It's too exaggerated."

There was some bitterness in Wang Zhonglei's words. If his peers made a lot of money and he didn't, then he would be losing money.

Wang Zhonglei, who loves smoking cigars, suddenly felt that the cigar in his hand was not fragrant anymore, so he turned around and asked sourly:
"Director Gu, I remember you are very good at art films, right? If you have any ideas, please don't hesitate to do so. The company will fully support you."

Today is Huayi’s fourth quarter work meeting. Unfortunately, looking at the entire company, there are no decent projects in the second half of the year.

"Mr. Wang, let's just work on this "Micro Love" for now, the project is about to start."

Gu Changwei, who succeeded Chen Guofu, had a polite yet awkward smile on his face, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

Damn, when Zhang Yimou and Wei Jin make art films, they either have super scripts or big casts.

All the cast members are talented actors and the budget is unlimited, what support can you give?
Not to mention art films, even in commercial films, you force Yang Ying and Chen He to join the cast as the protagonists. How do you do this?
“Then do this play first.”

Wang Zhonglei was also a shrewd man. He could see Gu Changwei's concerns. He tapped the cigar between his fingers on the table and comforted him:

"Director Gu, don't feel pressured. Yang Ying and Chen He are still quite popular, and Micro Love has great potential."

Wang Zhongjun took a glance at the screening report sent by the film department, threw it aside, stood up, and gave clear instructions.

"During the Lunar New Year holiday, Shanhe Media has several movies coming out. Xiaogang's movie, let's prepare to promote it in advance."

"clear."

To be honest, not only people in the industry were shocked, but even Wei Jin himself felt that the box office of "Big Shot" was a bit unreal.

After asking carefully, I found out that there was a post that praised the popularity of the movie very highly.

A certain Weibo celebrity, through the interpretation of "Big Shot" and comparing it with the history of the Zhao Group's rise, revealed many of the current operating methods of real estate companies.

That is: first spend money to buy a piece of land, then obtain initial construction funds from the bank through mortgage financing. Then rely on the pre-sale system to let the buyers pay first, and successfully complete the capital recovery.

In the minds of ordinary people, at this stage, they can simply pay off the bank loan and make a lot of money from the entire project.

But the Zhao Group or many real estate companies in reality did not do so.

They use the money to continue buying land and repeat the above operations, quickly snowballing until they become super rich, or they go bankrupt at some point.

This mode of operation has greatly refreshed the three views of the grassroots people, because most people are not aware of the inside story of real estate development.

Especially this year, the real estate industry has been extremely hot, with sky-high "land kings" appearing in various places. With the support of CCTV's exposure of real estate companies' failure to pay value-added tax and other incidents, the real estate industry has become the focus of national attention.

The revelations of "Big Shot" can be said to have satisfied the curiosity of the grassroots people.

Just like when the TV series "Snail House" was broadcast, there was obviously not much publicity, but after the first broadcast, it became a phenomenal work.

The current "Big Shot" has more or less the same meaning.

Many media outlets wanted to interview Wei Jin and ask him about his views on the real estate industry.

In this regard, there was no response from Wei Jin himself or the entire company.

What a joke! The slight reflection in the movie is already the limit. The real estate industry is quite complicated.

But no matter what, "Big Shot" completely ignited the entire October film market.

Among the domestic films that are about to be released, "Outstanding Citizen" directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, written by Wei Jin, and starring Chen Daoming; "Special Identity" starring Zhen Zidan, and "Dear", which is semi-public welfare and has a very strong cast, are undoubtedly the most watched.

Among the imported films, "Logan", "The Lone Ranger" and "Stalingrad" are also eyeing the market.

The promotional interactions, premieres or press conference times of all the above movies have spread all over the Internet and have become quite popular.

Many movies, including those scheduled for the Lunar New Year holiday, have also begun pre-promotion, with all kinds of press releases flying around.

But Wei Jin didn't expect that Guangdong's "The Four 2" would already start promoting the movie even though it was still fifty days before its release.

"Brother Wang, are you too anxious?"

"Brother, you have a big family and a lot of money, so of course you're not afraid. This is an investment of more than 3 million. It's the first time we're making a D movie, so Chen Jiashang and I both think it's better to be safe."

Fiber Optic has already called Star Sky Culture and the response received was a rejection.

This is normal, because the promotion time agreed in the contract is half a month in advance.

The meaning of Lao Wang's phone call is very clear. He hopes Wei Jin can nod.

"Brother, it's not that I don't give you face, but you suddenly do this, how will the artist's schedule be arranged?"

Wei Jin's words were not an excuse. Bai Bin, Wan Qian, Wang Zixuan and others were not ignorant people. It was impossible for them to just wait for your promotion of optical fiber.

Relatively speaking, Wan Qian and Wang Zixuan are still okay. Although they are big names, they don’t have too many announcements.

But Bai Bin is in a lot of trouble, as the schedules of the four young actresses are almost full, not to mention that "Joy of Life" is about to be released, and Bai has been busy promoting it during this period.

"Besides, isn't Deng Chao still filming over there?"

"He will be finished filming in about ten days, and I will have to follow him for follow-up."

After hearing this, people in the Wei and Jin dynasties were numb.

"The Breakup Guru" has only been underway for less than a month. What quality can a movie made in such a hurry by a novice expect?
But think about it, this drama itself is purely funny and the script is very rough. Besides, Shanhe Media is not in control, so why bother so much?
"Brother, let's put it this way. We won't delay them any longer. We'll just have a few days to promote the show on some popular variety shows with other crew members.

If they are too busy with other schedules, they don’t have to follow us. We can join them for the next promotion. What do you think?”

Old Wang had said so much, Wei Jin could only nod in agreement.

"Okay, I'll arrange it."
