During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 603 The Big Trouble Left by Han Sanping The Role Playing of the Crew

In the film market, "Dear" is still making great strides.

In just one week, the box office approached the 4 million mark, closing at 3.89 million, and the daily box office remained around million.

As for "Big Shot" and "The Distinguished Citizen", with the occasional promotion of the main creative teams, the box office is also growing steadily and slowly towards the set goals.

On the contrary, the movie "Special Identity" which was released later has completely lost its popularity.

It had only been released for two weeks when it was abandoned by theaters and removed from the screening list. The final box office revenue was reported to be 1.32 million yuan.

With an investment of more than 1 million yuan, including the publicity and promotion costs, the loss of Giant Films is at least over or million yuan.

If a movie fails, it will undoubtedly greatly damage the commercial value of the actors.

In "Special Identity", the person who suffered the most negative impact was undoubtedly Zhen Zidan, who spoke out in front of the media before the movie was released.

Because since "Ip Man 3", all the movies he starred in, "Guan Yunchang", "Wuxia", "Together".
Every single one of them is a loss.

The title of "box office poison" has been given to Zhen Zidan by the industry.

In less than a week, his value has dropped rapidly and he has fallen into the ranks of second-tier actors.

However, in Zhen Zidan's eyes, he may still have one last chance to become popular again, because "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" has just been announced to be released during the Spring Festival.

In this 5D mythological blockbuster with a reported investment of 3 million yuan and a production period of three years, Zhen Zidan plays the leading male role, Sun Wukong.

I have to say that Monkey King has so many fans that even though Zhen Zidan is the lead actor, it still arouses the expectations of many viewers.

The crew of "Operation Mekong".

After an explosion scene, Wei Jin and Lin Chaoxian reviewed the shots and gave the crew twenty minutes to rest.

Because this kind of scene is quite difficult to shoot, especially it is difficult to get it done in one go.

We have already shot three takes since this morning, and several actors and colleagues from the special effects team are already feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Wei Jin had just stood up from the monitor when he saw Liu Yan walking towards him with a thermos cup.

"Boss, 'Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy' has passed the review."

Liu Yan handed over the cup as she spoke. Although she was already a popular host, she was still quite comfortable with her old job as an assistant.

"it is good."

Wei Jin took the thermos cup, took a sip of water, and added: "I'll leave the phone with you. If there is a call later, the production company will directly notify them to contact Mr. Chen. As for the actors, just send them away casually."

Since joining Shanhe Media, Xu Ke has proved himself step by step with "The Mystery of the Phantom Flame", "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and "Dragon King of the Mysterious Capital".

Now that Xu Ke's new script has passed review, even if it is a main-theme subject that has always been less favored, there will definitely be a lot of people watching it.

However, the production cost of this project alone is as high as 1.5 million yuan, so Wei Jin naturally would not choose to have it all to himself.

Before the filming started, he had already informed Chen Zhiming, who had been the president for so many years and would definitely be able to handle this matter.

"Okay, boss."

As Wei Jin expected, after the script was approved, the news quickly spread throughout the entire film and television industry.

However, most companies cannot get involved in Shanhe Media's projects, and only those with long-term cooperation will have ideas.

Including Huayi and Bona today, they have already gained self-awareness.

Instead, the brokerage companies, celebrity studios, actors and artists in the industry were very excited.

Because everyone can still find "Lin Hai Xue Yuan", there are many characters in the original work. Even if it is an excerpted story and has been adapted, it is impossible to reduce too many characters. It is possible that more characters will be added.

Although they don’t know whether the casting will be made public, all the celebrity artists are paying attention to Shanhe Media’s official website, waiting for further notifications.

Some of the actors from the "Operation Mekong" crew also made indirect comments.

But these people were still clear-headed and only dared to go to Liu Yan to inquire for information.

Wei Jin didn't pay much attention to it. After finishing a day's shooting, he reviewed and discussed today's shooting with Lin Chaoxian as usual, and then talked about the subsequent shooting plans.

"Director Wei, judging by the current progress, perhaps we can finish filming here before the Golden Horse Awards ceremony."

Lin Chaoxian's tone was somewhat emotional. During his time on the crew, he was really convinced by Wei Jin.

The efficiency is super high. It is obviously the first time to shoot a modern war scene, but many of the ideas coincide with my own. Could this be a genius?
"Well, it should be about the same. You can lead the crew to the new location when the time comes. I will reunite with everyone after I come back. We will try to complete all the scenes within this month."

"it is good."

After chatting for a while, Wei Jin returned to the room and saw Liu Yan taking a shower in the bathroom.

Just as I was planning to take a bath together, I received a call from Liu Shishi.

The little girl has finished filming her scenes in "Interstellar", and the crew, led by Nolan, has moved to Iceland for filming.

According to Nolan's estimate, all filming will be completed by the end of next month.

"Brother, I don't have any announcements or arrangements these days. Can you come to visit the crew?"

Hearing the longing and expectation in the little girl's clear voice, Wei Jin also missed her a little, but still shook his head and refused.

"Shishi, the environment here is not very good, you'd better not come over, take advantage of the holiday and have a rest. Wait until I finish filming here, then I will accompany you."

"Okay then."

Liu Shishi on the other end of the phone could not hide her disappointment, but with her gentle personality, she knew that Wei Jin was telling the truth and did not want to cause trouble for her man.

Perhaps because they couldn't meet in a short time, Liu Shishi talked on the phone for quite a long time and also shared many interesting stories from the crew with Wei Jin.

What is particularly interesting is the 500 acres of cornfield that Nolan was looking for.

Originally, in order to facilitate filming, the crew bought the corn directly. However, they never expected that after the filming was completed, the price of corn went up, and another farmer bought it at a high price.

All in all, not only did I not spend any money to shoot this shot, I could actually make a lot of money. It's really interesting.

In just 10 days, the box office of "Dear" broke through the 5 million mark and closed at 5.31 million.

Director Cao Baoping has taken another step forward and directly joined the ranks of directors with a box office of 5 million yuan.

And it seems that this is just the starting point. 6 million or 7 million should be stable, and it is even possible to become a member of the 8 million directors club in one step.

This made many art film directors envious, and some have already considered whether to go to Shanhe Media to pay a visit and look for a script or something.

Many production companies in the industry are also extremely jealous.

With an investment of 3 million, even if only points are donated, several producers can still get at least double the return, which is a huge profit.

“I really made a lot of money, haha.”

Ren Zhonglun was in a good mood. In the small meeting room of Shanhe Media, he teased La Peikang:

"Boss La, Old Han has a bad eye. He had to choose another script. Now it has fallen into the hands of Shanghai Film Studio, hahaha."

Ren Zhonglun didn't believe that Wuershan's transformational work "The Devotion of Suspect X" could achieve better box office than "Dear" in the fiercely competitive Lunar New Year period.

But La Peikang didn't know how to respond to this. He couldn't just comment on his predecessor as soon as he took office, right?

But Ren Zhonglun continued to taunt, "By the way, Mr. La, I heard that Wu Baige has been running around China Film these past two days? Is The Crossing overspent? Another 80 million is needed?

Tsk tsk, Old Han has left you a big problem. It must be very stressful, right? Fortunately, I didn’t get on the car for the filming, otherwise I would have lost a lot of hair.”

La Peikang's face didn't look very good, but he still didn't say anything.

But Fiber Optic Lao Wang, Wanda Ye Ning and Chen Zhiming in the conference room gasped.

The original investment was 4 million, and this is close to million. The key is that the filming has been going on for half a year, and several Chinese film companies have to keep up! Moreover, Lao Wang and others knew very well that Wei Jin had been pessimistic about "The Crossing" more than once, but Han Sanping just wouldn't listen.

Now, with an additional investment of 80 million, the box office revenue must be at least 200 million more to balance it out.

This is because China Film Group has its own cinema chain, which can reduce some pressure.

Han Sanping has really left a big trouble for the next person.

"Hey, President Chen, let's talk about "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy"?"

La Peikang couldn't stand it anymore. How could this chairman of Shanghai Film Group always speak in a sarcastic tone? Where was his vision?
"Oh, okay, Mr. La."

Chen Zhiming, who was still watching the show, came back to his senses instantly and signaled his assistant to distribute the information.

"Everyone, the detailed budget is here. The production cost is 1.5 million. This time, there are only five of us."

After two hours of discussion, the parties reached an agreement and finalized the distribution of shares for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

The cost of production and promotion was 2 million yuan, of which Shanhe Media invested 6000 million yuan, accounting for 40%, and the other four companies each invested 3500 million yuan, accounting for 15%.

The premium for this plan is quite low, and all parties are quite satisfied with it.

After the agreement was signed that day, the project situation was announced through the official website of Shanhe Media the next day, and the other producers followed suit.

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", a 3D main theme commercial film, with a total investment of 2 million;
Director: Tsui Hark; Screenwriter: Tsui Hark & ​​Shanhe Media Screenwriting Department

Main role: To be determined.

Producers: Shanhe Media, China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Wanda Pictures, Fiber Optic Pictures. ”

When the news came out, some were happy while others were sad.

Director Deng of Xiying is still lucky, after all, he has already teamed up with a project directed by Wei Jin himself. With the same main theme, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is nothing special.

The saddest person was boss Ying Huangyang. He called Chen Zhiming as soon as possible, but in the end he did not receive any notification.

But looking at these producers, he had to admit that when it came to main-theme subjects, they did have more advantages than Yinghuang, which was located in Hong Kong.

In comparison, the celebrities in the circle are much happier.

Because no actor has been decided yet, and judging from Xu Ke's past style, the probability of an open casting is very high.

At this moment, many actors could no longer hold back and began to show off their talents.

But Wei Jin didn't expect that the first call he received was from Zhou Xun.

"Mr. Zhou, I heard that you just accepted the script. Are you busy enough?"

Wei Jin leaned against the head of the bed, enjoying Song Yi's service while playing with Liu Yan's proud snow-white pussy, and joked with a smile.

"Wow, you know all this? But this script is pretty fast, you don't have to worry about the schedule."

"Come on, just focus on making your romance movies. Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy is not suitable for you. Have you ever seen a serious mountain lord who would rob his wife like you? Hahahaha"

Listening to Wei Jin's teasing, Liu Yan on the side wanted to laugh, and Zhou Xun on the other end of the phone was even more furious.

"Fuck, you scumbag, you... you're just a jerk."

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want, okay?"

Wei Jin immediately retorted that his aesthetic taste could not be slandered.

"Why not? When I signed the contract, she was Xiao Tiantian. Oh, now that I'm your employee, I'm Mrs. Niu?"

This line borrowed from "A Chinese Odyssey" made Wei Jin laugh directly.

"Sister, can we be reasonable? What boss is so generous to sign a three-year contract for three movies?"

These words left Zhou Xun speechless. After being in the entertainment industry for so many years, she could still tell the good from the bad.

Since we met, Wei Jin has provided a lot of resources, and each time they were high-quality resources.

Especially in this time's "Dear", her role in the play and the character arc are so full that she definitely shows all her strengths.

It is really not easy for an actor to come across such a script.

"Okay, okay, you're a good boss, but have you ever considered getting a prize-winning notebook for my sister?"

"It's not that easy, let me think about it."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin patted Song Yi.

"Xiao Yi, you heard it too. Even Young Master Zhou was rejected, so there's no chance for you to be the female lead.

But for the role of the second female lead, the nurse, I can recommend you to audition, but whether you can get it depends on you."

Hearing this, Song Yi slowly let go of Wei Jin, raised his face, which looked even more pure and lustful due to holding his breath, and revealed a sweet smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei."

And Liu Yan, who was leaning on Wei Jin's shoulder, was extremely emotional.

Sometimes, once the bottom line is broken and the sweetness is tasted, a dependence path will be formed and people will get deeper and deeper into the trap.

But who can escape being in the entertainment industry?

On the contrary, these young girls are very lucky to have a boss like this who keeps his word.

Just like this, I'm afraid there will be countless female stars throwing themselves at him in the future?

"What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"

Liu Yan came back to her senses and blinked at Wei Jin, "I was wondering, should I change Xiao Yi's nurse uniform?"

"Huh? You really brought it?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Jin became interested. He exerted a little force with his hands, and the situation changed immediately.

"Hmm~"

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up. I haven't played role-playing games in a long time."

Of course Liu Yan was considerate enough to meet Wei Jin's request. In less than ten minutes, she and Song Yi completed their changing of clothes.

The props Liu Yan prepared were great, a short white coat with a very low chest, which completely exposed her talent. Paired with highly transparent open crotch black stockings, the temptation was really full.

Song Yi's look is also pretty good, a pink slim nurse uniform paired with white stockings, full of a two-dimensional feel.

"The patient is in a bad condition."

Liu Yan focused on playing the role of a doctor, reached out to touch the patient, and then looked at Song Yi.

"Xiaoyi, do the temperature test now, use the internal measurement method, this is more accurate."

"Okay, Director Liu."

Song Yi nodded obediently and then lifted up the hem of her skirt.

"Director Liu~~~"

Nurse Song Yi's voice trembled a little, and Doctor Liu immediately ordered:

"It seems the situation is very urgent, Xiaoyi, please don't stop, I'll help you here"
