During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 596: Another top-notch tough cock

In the film market, "The Outstanding Citizen" was released.

Even though there was no press conference, and even though it is an artistic drama, with its Wei and Jin script, Chen Daoming's cast, and two Silver Lion trophies from the Venice Film Festival, the audience still has great expectations for it.

Similarly, theater chains are also very optimistic, with the film's first-day screening rate reaching 18%.

Thanks to this, on the first day of its release, "The Distinguished Citizen" unexpectedly exploded with energy beyond the industry's imagination, with the box office closing in at 1960 million.

More importantly, the online reputation is quite explosive, with a score of 8.8 on Impression.com, which is simply beyond imagination.

This means that the follow-up potential of "The Outstanding Citizen" is quite strong.

Many netizens left messages in the comment area and recommended their relatives and friends to watch it in the theater.

“Two feelings: one is that it is real; two, I want to read Mo Yan’s film reviews.”

"+1 to the comment above. When I was watching the movie, I kept imagining Mo Yan returning to Gaomi, and I couldn't help laughing."

"The script of Wei Jin really did not disappoint. The PPT made by my fellow villager made me laugh to tears. I highly recommend it!"

"This is the most explosive movie I've seen recently. It slaps everyone who deserves a slap. Also, after watching this movie, you will understand what it means to have a hometown you can never return to. You will understand that some people never want to go back to their hometown after fleeing it."

"."

As expected, Wei Jin received a call from his tutor, and the old man felt a little regretful.

"Wei Jin, if I had known earlier I would have listened to you and held a simple press conference. Perhaps the box office would have been better."

"It's okay, teacher. Word of mouth is the best publicity. According to the current situation, it may exceed 2 million. By then, you will be more powerful than Director Zhang."

Wei Jin's words were mostly consoling in nature. After all, the follow-up "Special Identity" and "Dear" will be released soon, and there is no room for "Outstanding Citizen" to perform.

"Hahaha, I'm taking your good words. If this can really be achieved, I wonder how he will be able to show off to me in the future."

The mentor was in a very good mood. Wei Jin chatted with him for a long time before hanging up the phone, and then took the opportunity to browse some movie information.

He noticed that the movie "I Want to Be with You", produced by LeTV and starring Feng Shaofeng and Tong Yao, also performed quite well.

After the first day's performance of 1510 million, the box office earned million after four days.

Compared with the production cost of 10 million, this has directly achieved huge profits.

"Boss Wei, the crew is in the conference room."

The secretary's voice pulled Wei Jin back from the phone screen.

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

In the small conference room, Wei Jin met all the members of the crew.

Producer Chen Xi, photographer Dong Jinsong, assistant director Lin Chaoxian, and the main actors.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Chaoxian was specially invited by Wei Jin.

On the one hand, Lin Chaoxian is indeed quite good in terms of modern warfare and action scenes.

On the other hand, Wei Jin also thought that when the Golden Horse Awards went to Taiwan, he could help shoot some transitional scenes.

Lin Chaoxian, who received Wei Jin's call, did not say a word.

Not to mention the help provided by Wei Jin along the way, being able to participate in such a production is also a very good experience for Lin Chaoxian himself.

Especially after the flop of "The Untamed", Lin Chaoxian is still waiting for Wei Jin to have a follow-up script so that he can continue to promote him.

Without much pleasantries, Wei Jin went straight to the point.

"The support from the Ministry was very strong for this shoot. The scenes in Beijing could be shot directly at the Ministry of Public Security, including closing the road to shoot diplomatic scenes, and even shooting at the Great Hall of the People."

Wei Jin explained the filming process very seriously, and the actors and crew members all looked excited as they listened.

“In addition, some costume props, such as Minister GA’s full set of uniforms, shoulder straps, and his security guard car, are all real!

The uniforms used by other characters are all genuine. In large scenes such as meetings and exercises, there will be official personnel appearing as extras.”

With Wei Jin's introduction, the main creators of the crew became more and more excited. The performance lineup and shooting specifications were very exciting to think about.

"So, I hope everyone can give their best. Even if it's just a cameo, I don't want anyone to fail."

"Understood, Director Wei."

Every actor seemed to be full of energy, including the veteran artist Chen Baoguo.

Although he often plays leaders, this is the first time I've seen him receive such high-level treatment.

"Okay, let's start reading the script. If you have any questions about the plot, characters, etc., you can ask them now."

"Director Wei, the role of Gao Gang"

While Wei Jin was chatting with the main creators about the script, Rouba, who had just finished a publicity tour, knocked on Miss Cai's office door.

"Boss Cai, are you busy?"

"Rou Ba, come and sit down."

Miss Cai greeted Rouba with a smile on her face, and the latter also had a sweet smile on his face and sat obediently opposite her.

"You've been working hard lately, why don't you take a good rest?"

"Boss Cai, it's not hard at all. I feel very fulfilled."

"Well, it's great to have such ambition, but you still need to rest. I told you at the beginning that you will definitely become famous, haha."

Miss Cai was becoming more and more satisfied with the soft and sticky meat, and her voice became gentler, "What's the matter with you coming here today?"

"Mr. Cai, I plan to terminate my contract with the company"

"Well, don't worry, the company will arrange it for you. What did you say?"

Accustomed to Rouba's obedience, Miss Cai did not react for a while. After she heard the content clearly, she raised her voice in vain, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Rouba, who still had a sweet smile. Miss Cai was a little dazed again and asked tentatively: "Rouba, was it that ungrateful wolf who instigated you? Don't listen to his nonsense"

"Mr. Cai, no one pushed me to do this. I just felt that my efforts and rewards were not equal."

"What do you mean by inequality? Three years. It's only been three years and you've become so famous now. You're a second-tier actress. What else do you want?"

Rouba's calm tone made Miss Cai break down immediately. She put her hands on the desk and became hysterical.

"What you eat, wear, use, and even the configuration of your management team, which one is not given to you by the company?

The company has done its best to arrange announcements and commercial performances for you. Have we ever let you down? Now that you have grown up, you want to leave. Where is your conscience?"

Rouba's smile gradually disappeared, "Boss Cai, if you say that, I have to have a serious talk with you.

Except for the first "Xuan-Yuan Sword", the company has never given me any resources. Everything I have achieved is something I have fought for on my own.

According to the contract, I have to play the third female lead in one drama every year. Has the company done that? Since the company breached the contract first, it should be reasonable for me to ask for termination of the contract.

As for the commercial performances and announcements you mentioned, without the resources I fought for myself and the popularity I have now, would the company have pushed me so hard?"

"Isn't that a coincidence? The company has been...

Ms. Cai wanted to explain, but Rouba interrupted her directly, "What about Thousand Mountains and Twilight Snow? It's produced by the company, right? Jin Chen got the role, but I didn't?"

Rouba still clearly remembers that when she got this role, she climbed into the bed of that man. Unfortunately, when the final roles were announced, she was not included.

It was also at that time that she finally understood that she would never get ahead if she stayed in the sugar man world.

Miss Cai was speechless. Who could blame Jin Chen for having just signed the contract and needing to be appeased?

This reason alone was not convincing enough, so Ms. Cai slowed down her tone.

"Rouba, you should know about the company's IPO plan, right? Artists who sign contracts for five years can get internal incentive shares. Shishi and Hu Ge both have them.

Two years, can't you wait? Look at Huayi's artists back then, who is not worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions now?"

Ms. Cai's cake made Rouba shake his head. How could Tangren's business level be compared with Huayi? Even if it went public, it would probably be a junk stock.

So he flatly refused and said, "Boss Cai, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I have decided to terminate the contract.

The reason I came here today is that I want everyone to part ways in peace. With the precedent of Lin Gengxin, you should know clearly that I will definitely win the lawsuit."

At this point, Rouba slowed down his tone, "But after three years together, I have feelings for the company, and I don't want the company to suffer any more negative news."

"Haha, so I have to thank you?"

Seeing that the meat, oil, and salt wouldn't eat anything, Miss Cai laughed angrily.

She never thought that the soft and soft girl who could be manipulated at will could actually say such words.

"No thanks, I just hope to complete the termination as soon as possible."

Rouba's face remained calm and unmoved, "Don't worry, Mr. Cai, I won't owe the company a single cent of the liquidated damages stipulated in the contract."

Hearing this, Ms. Cai was stunned for a moment. She originally thought that Rouba mentioned Lin Gengxin's matter in order to reduce the penalty for breach of contract, but she didn't expect that he was not short of money at all.

But she immediately reacted and laughed at herself, "Oh, you can come up with such a large sum of money. It seems that Wei Jin gave you the confidence."

"I have to thank Mr. Cai for enlightening me about the cruelty of the entertainment industry."

Even though she could hear the sarcasm in the words, Ms. Cai still didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Otherwise, how could a little girl like you, a minority ethnic group, become so famous?
So he responded sarcastically: "Rouba, it's not easy to get into Star Culture. The competition is fierce."

"Boss Cai has misunderstood. With the relationship between Master and Sister in the fold, Boss Wei would not do such a thing."

"Oh? Then you."

Miss Cai was stunned, a little confused, while Rouba smiled slightly.

"Please don't worry about where I'm going, Mr. Cai."

Having said that, Rouba knew that his goal for today had been achieved and stood up.

"Mr. Cai, if you have no other questions, I will leave first. My lawyer will handle the remaining procedures."

After saying that, Rouba left without looking back, and Miss Cai in the office let out a low growl after a long while.

"Ah~~~"

Miss Cai is really upset. She has worked diligently for more than ten years, but her business is getting worse and worse. Artists leave one after another. How can she develop in the future?

At this moment, Miss Cai recalled Wei Jin's advice to the sugar man many years ago, and she fell into deep thought for a moment.

I don't know how long it took, but Miss Cai seemed to come to her senses, picked up the phone and dialed.
Wei Jin didn't know what had happened to the sugar man. After the script reading session was over, he arranged a dinner for the crew.

After all, everyone will have to spend a long time together, so it's time to fine-tune the relationship.

But perhaps because it was an afternoon reading session, Wei Jin's attitude was very serious and everyone was a little restrained at the table and didn't drink much.

Wei Jin did not force it. After all, the press conference was coming up and it would not be good to get drunk.

The dinner party ended quietly, but what happened next was completely beyond Wei Jin's expectations.

After seeing Wei Jin taking Song Yi away, Jin Chen actually followed them and asked the director to talk about the play.

Although he didn't know why the girl was so eager to challenge the difficulty of Landlord for the first time, Wei Jin still couldn't bear to refuse the actress who was seeking progress.

As a director, isn't it normal for him to explain the script to the actresses?

Although there are only two shots of Jin Chen, it does not hinder Wei Jin from training the actor's acting skills.

And although Jin Chen is not big enough, he still has a good figure. At least the waist-to-hip ratio and his dancing skills make him a good bed partner.

Facts have proved that when God opens a door, he will not leave a window for you. Jin Chen's talents are not spread all over his body.

But overall, it can still be considered 9% new.
