During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 606: Wei Jin’s reputation is well known in the circle, and the votes are definitely not in vain!
"Mekong River Crew", in a luxurious tent, Jin Chen is making a pilgrimage at the foot of the towering Buzhou Mountain.

Wei Jin, who was receiving his worship, was holding his mobile phone to follow the latest industry information.

Today's headlines, as expected, are about the opening ceremony of the Golden Horse Awards.

There was no way around it. As it was the 50th anniversary celebration, the organizing committee made the opening ceremony quite grand.

On the red carpet of the opening ceremony, female stars from all walks of life competed with each other for beauty, and it was not uncommon to see them wearing strange costumes.

But these are not the most eye-catching ones. The group led by Golden Horse Chairman Li An is the real gathering of big names.

All the best directors, best actresses and best actors of all time appeared together. More than 50 people walked the red carpet with Golden Horse Chairman Li An. The scene was quite spectacular.

Of course, these fifty-odd people are only a part of the winners throughout the years. Many award-winning filmmakers were absent for various reasons.

Among them are Wei Jin, who won the Best Director award last year, and Jing Tian, ​​the Best Actress award.

Wei Jin is busy filming a movie, while Jing Tian is busy promoting "Reincarnation of Killing".

This movie will be released in a month, and the main creative team will soon come to China. As the leading female role, Jing Tian naturally cannot be absent.

However, she will arrive in Taiwan in time for the award ceremony, because according to convention, last year's Best Actress will present the award to this year's Best Actress.

Wei Jin thought that they would meet in Taiwan someday and that would help relieve the girl's homesickness.

"Um~~~"

Jin Chen suddenly changed the water to ice, which made Wei Jin moan. Seeing that the woman was still working hard, he did not disturb her and paid attention to the film market.

I have to say that the competition in the film market in November was extremely fierce.

Several imported films, such as "Thor 2", "Escape Plan", "Hotel Transylvania" and "Nomadland", have cumulative daily revenues of more than or million yuan, accounting for more than % of the market.

A number of domestic films fell into complete silence after two or three days in theaters, with only the extremely popular "Dear" still barely holding on.

But at this point, "Dear" can hardly move.

As of now, 25 days after its release, the box office has grossed 7.63 million yuan, and the daily box office has dropped to around to million.

Judging from this situation, it is unlikely that the box office will break 8 million, but even so, it is far beyond Wei Jin's initial expectations.

However, the box office of "Nomadland" was only over 50 million in three days, and judging from today's attendance, it is obviously not as good as that on the weekend. The subsequent box office is not optimistic.

But Wei Jin didn't care. This play was not imported, but was released in batches.

This is because imported films have a fixed profit-sharing model, while wholesale films only need to pay a quota fee, which is like transferring money from one hand to the other.

In this way, the difference in profit sharing between the two is about 20 points.

Wei Jin plans to follow this route for all of Summit Entertainment's films in the future. After all, the quota fee for batch production is only two million, and the rest is all profit.

Wei Jin noticed that the rest of the Lunar New Year films have already begun intensive promotions, including "Suspect", "The Four 2", "Private Tailor", "New Police Story 2013", etc.

Everyone seems to be rubbing their hands, waiting to turn the tide.

"This year's Lunar New Year movies are fun to watch."

After sighing, Wei Jin put down his phone and patted Jin Chen's pretty face.

"Okay, Jinchen, you've worked so hard for so long, now it's time to have dinner."

Upon hearing this, Jin Chen slowly let go of Wei Jin, but he pulled her up again at the last moment, with an obvious teasing implication.

After the clouds and rain stopped, Jin Chen, with a look of satisfaction, leaned against the man's chest like a little bird.

Jin Chen is not a love-minded person. She knows very well that with her status, it is impossible for her to hold on to this man.

But she also knew very well that the reason why Liu Shishi, the sugar man's predecessor, could occupy a place in Wei Jin's heart was because of her non-competitive character.

After all, which successful man wants to be influenced by a woman?
Therefore, in these days, she has never made any unreasonable demands, because everyone in the circle knows Wei Jin's reputation, and they will never vote for nothing!
As she expected, the man's voice rang in her ears at this moment, like the sound of nature.

"Jinchen, the second season of Flowers and Youth is about to start recruiting guests. If your schedule is suitable, go and have some fun."

"It's appropriate. I will arrange the schedule. Thank you, Mr. Wei."

As soon as Wei Jin finished speaking, Jin Chen hurriedly responded, as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word.

Wei and Jin could understand this.

Not to mention that Tangren itself does not have any resources to support Jin Chen now. Even if there are other arrangements, they will all have to be put on the back burner in front of the big pie of "Flowers and Youth".

You know, the first season of "Flowers and Youth" achieved a peak viewership rate of over 3, and a popular variety show is a huge blessing for celebrity artists.

Including the recently launched "Sisters Over Flowers", even though it was suspected of rehashing old stuff and killing two birds with one stone; even though the status of several of the guests was not as high as that of Liu Yifei and others, the ratings performance was still impressive.

The ratings soared from 1.56% in the first episode to 1.85% in the second episode.

According to the current situation, it is a foregone conclusion that the ratings will exceed 2, and it is even possible that the peak will exceed 3.

Jia Jingwen, Char Siu Fen and others who participated in the recording of "Sisters Over Flowers" have all experienced a resurgence in popularity.

Yang Zi, a junior from Beijing Film Academy, has once again come into the audience's attention after being silent for many years due to her role in "Home With Kids".

Others including Zhang Tianai, Jiang Shuying and others also received blessings to varying degrees.

Under such circumstances, the launch of the second season of "Flowers and Youth" is bound to attract competition from many artists in the circle.

Especially for newcomers who have just debuted, it is definitely a rare resource.

However, Jin Chen was very sensible. He had just rested for a while and then sat down at the card table decisively, as if doing so would not be enough to repay Wei Jin's kindness.

It's a pity that the conditions here are not very good, otherwise Wei Jin Gao would have to open a back door for her.
As Wei Jin expected, when Shanhe Media released the news of the second season of "Flowers and Youth", many celebrities in the circle were a little uneasy.

Wei Jin received messages from many people on the crew, including Yang Mi.

It wasn’t that she wanted to participate, but she wanted to promote the artist she had just signed.

Just looking at the photos in the phone, Wei Jin was very surprised. He didn't expect that Yang Mi's trajectory had changed so much, but he could still sign Li Ruixi.

Wei Jin has some impression of this girl. She has partnered with Rouba in "Pretty Li Huizhen" and with Huang Xuan in "Aiming", and her performances were both pretty good.

As for the rest of the works, Wei Jin was not very clear about them. He only remembered the pair of incredibly long beautiful legs.

After thinking about it, Wei Jin replied to Yang Mi with an OK. The contracted artists of Mixing Entertainment were roughly equivalent to his own artists after conversion.

And their own artists are roughly equivalent to
Well, you can’t think like that. Boss Wei is not that kind of person.

"Director Wei, the helicopter and speedboat are ready." At this time, the Golden Shield team came over again. After these days of filming, the shooting progress has reached the chase scene in the Mekong River Basin.

"Okay, I'm done."

Wei and Jin have always had a good attitude towards people who do things for them, and the latter quickly gave up.

"Director Wei is too polite. Let's follow him. That's what we do."

Wei Jin smiled without saying anything, and walked directly towards the helicopter that was already in position to start today's filming.

This chase in the Mekong River basin is the climax of the entire drama and was not easy to shoot.

Wei Jin sat on the plane and observed the situation on the scene through the monitor.

Photographer Dong Jinsong followed another speedboat and was responsible for shooting from another angle.

In addition, each speedboat that appears in the film is equipped with multiple hidden high-definition cameras to capture the actors' expressions and movement details.

At the same time, rescue teams responsible for responding to accidents and ships of relevant departments responsible for dealing with emergencies were also on standby not far away.

After all, this is beyond the border, who knows what will happen?

On the surveillance camera footage, the male lead Zhang Hanyu was seen carrying the seriously injured Nok Ka, retreating to the Mekong River, boarding a speedboat to escape, with private armed forces chasing after them.

The second male lead played by Liao Fan is covered in scars and drives a speedboat on the Mekong River in an attempt to coordinate
It was late November and the premiere of "The Devotion of Suspect X" was held as scheduled in Beijing.

The premiere was entrusted to Wanda and the venue was chosen to be a flagship cinema owned by Wanda.

As the new work of the billion-dollar director Wu Ershan, and with the support of the three producers, China Film, Wanda, and Shanhe Media, this premiere was star-studded.

Almost all the leading production companies and entertainment companies in the industry, including several large state-owned enterprises, have sent people here.

Even if the top leader is not present in person, they are all well-known senior managers in the circle.

In addition, many directors in the circle came to show their support. Many people wanted to see how Wu Ershan's transformation work would be.

As for celebrity artists, there are even more. Huang Xiaoming, Yang Mi, Deng Chao, Qiao Zhenyu, Chen Kun and others are all top-tier in the industry.

Including Ni Ni, Bai Bin, Wan Qian, Nazha and others from Star Culture were also present.

The heroine, Fan Bingbing, arrived early and acted as the host.

Today, Fan Bingbing is wearing a small suit and a high ponytail, looking very heroic.

She was seen moving among the guests with a smile on her face, looking quite comfortable.

Wu Ershan is also surrounded by many production companies. After all, his identity as a billion-dollar director is worthy of everyone's serious treatment. Who knows, there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future?

After a round of socializing, the premiere officially began.

After the host of the movie channel, Jingwei, opened the show, he invited Wu Ershan and a group of main creators to come on stage for an interview.

After a brief chat about the interesting things that happened during the filming, we moved on to the media Q&A session.

The box office issue is something that cannot be avoided.

Wu Ershan was mentally prepared for this and behaved properly without getting too carried away.

“This is my first attempt at a drama film without too many special effects. I can’t guarantee how good the box office performance will be, but I am confident that I will not let investors lose money.

Because from studying the script, making the storyboard, to shooting, I strived for perfection in every step. It took more than a year to make this movie.

Coupled with the careful adaptation of Shanhe Media's screenwriting department, the influence of the original novel, and the wonderful performances of the actors, I believe that "Suspect" will not disappoint the audience."

Wu Ershan's words were impeccable. He meant that the film would not lose money, and that the box office would start at at least 3 million. Judging from his past record and this cast, there would be no problem.

But when the movie ended and applause broke out from the audience, people in the circle realized that he was just being modest.

"Xiao Gang, what do you think?"

"It's OK. The adaptation is quite reasonable. The script structure, suspense reversal, and performance level are all very good, especially the pictures, which is what Wu Ershan is best at."

Over the years, Feng Dapao has also faced the reality and no longer has the idea that he is the boss, the earth is second, and he is the third.

There's no way. Not to mention others, even cross-border directors like Jackie Chan and Xu Zheng have achieved better results than him. What is there to be proud of?
"What about us?"

"Don't worry about that. 'Personal Tailor' was released three weeks apart, so there's no competition. What you should be careful about is the optical fiber. Being sandwiched between two movies, I'm afraid Lao Wang will be overwhelmed."

"Well, that's good. It's quite interesting to watch them kill each other, haha."

After the premiere, there was a lot of media coverage on "The Suspect".

The next day, Wu Ershan started a new round of roadshows with a group of main creators.

The publicity resources of the three producers, Wanda, Shanhe Media and China Film, are also heavily invested in this project.

As for the cinema chains, they have also begun to adjust their screening schedules based on the pre-sale situation on the backend of Impression.com.

Countless production companies in the industry are also looking forward to the release of this movie, which will serve as the first shot of the Lunar New Year box office.

As for Wei Jin, after three days of filming, the crew also welcomed the last few scenes in the Mekong River Basin.

The second male lead, played by Liao Fan, has been determined to die since he shot and killed the drug lord and avenged his girlfriend.

What is going to be filmed today is the scene where he and the captain of the private armed forces collide with each other and die together.

"Brother Hanyu, you are the only male lead who survived the entire operation. Isn't that too tragic?"

While Liao Fan was putting on makeup, she was chatting with Zhang Hanyu beside her.

"Xiao Liao, if you have read the files, you will know that the real Mekong Operation was even more brutal than this, with countless casualties."

Zhang Hanyu felt a little emotional, and at this time Wei Jin's voice came from behind him.

"What Lao Zhang said is right. Besides, since we are adapting the main theme, we have to go in a cruel direction. Only in this way can the audience truly remember this tragedy. Besides, didn't you see that Xiaotian died?"

"Woof~~woof~~"

As soon as Wei Jin finished speaking, he saw Xiaotian, who had already finished filming but was still in charge of night security on the crew, and called out to him twice, which was quite appropriate.

This directly caused the entire crew to burst into laughter.

In a happy atmosphere, the crew started a new day of filming.
