During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 613: The premiere of Crazy Immortal Cultivation
The long-awaited production of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" has officially announced its cast list.

I have to say that poet Chen really loves Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.

In addition to the protagonist Wang Baoqiang, more than half of the other main actors, including Lin Chi-lin, Aaron Kwok, Prince Dragon, Vanness Wu, and Chang Chen, are from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

However, Chen Hong’s earlier announcement about the audition of new actresses was not a scam, as they were indeed selected.

But compared with Zhang Yimou, Chen Shishi's audition was not so pure.

At least, this isn't a true rookie actor.

This actress, who has passionate scenes with Wang Baoqiang in the drama, has been in the industry for several years, and the media has revealed that she has a lot of resources behind her.

People in the circle are not surprised by this.

After all, poet Chen is different from Zhang Yimou. The former has his own company and is involved in many projects in the industry. Necessary resource exchange is inevitable.

Coincidentally, the filming of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" had just been finalized, and the auditions for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" had begun.

Wei Jin was invited by Xu Laoguai to come to the conference room to watch.

Since it was an invitation-based audition, the number of people was not too large, so we went through it all in one whole day.

After all the actors had left, Wei Jin and Xu Laoguai started discussing with their resumes.

As for the leading male role, both of them had no objection and unanimously gave it to Zhang Hanyu.

On the one hand, Lao Zhang’s acting skills are indeed good; on the other hand, he knows Peking Opera and is naturally suitable for this role, and his performance in the original version is indeed eye-catching.

As for the role of Zuoshandiao, Xu Ke preferred Liang Jiahui, and Wei Jin also nodded in approval.

In addition, the role of the third male lead, Shao Jianbo, was given to the company's artist, Chen Xiao.

Since "Zhu Xian", "East Palace" and "Joy of Life", Chen Xiao has become famous all over the country, and his popularity among the public can be said to be top among male actors born after 85.

Acting in a movie nowadays can, on the one hand, increase the popularity of the movie, and on the other hand, it can also raise his status.

Originally, Huang Xiaoming also had ideas about this role, and considering his status, he was completely suitable for the role.

Unfortunately, he is starring in a TV series about a domineering CEO and also has a movie contract with Zhou Gongzi, so his schedule is really not suitable.

Neither Xu nor Wei Jin would agree to him overlapping roles, so the plan had to be abandoned.

The other male characters didn't have too many parts, and after Wei Jin and Xu Laoguai discussed it, the scene soon came to an end.

However, the competition for the leading female role was quite fierce.

Not only because this is a 200 million investment big production led by Shanhe Media, but also because Xu Ke is famous for filming movies with women.

Lin Qingxia, who played the role of Dongfang Bubai in "Swordsman", Maggie Cheung in "Green Snake", Nie Xiaoqian in "A Chinese Ghost Story", etc., are all screen classics.

Including the previous role in "Shendu Dragon King", Ni Ni also portrayed the courtesan as extremely beautiful.

For an actress, being able to create a classic image on the screen is very attractive.

Therefore, almost all the famous actresses and powerful actors in the domestic entertainment industry, including Li Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Jingchu, Shu Qi, Yu Nan, Hao Lei and others, participated in the audition.

However, Shu Qi was first excluded by Wei and Jin.

"It's fine to be flirty and revealing, but it lacks the rusticity of a rural woman."

"Yeah, I feel the same way."

Old Monster Xu nodded in agreement, but he felt a little regretful. His first choice, Zeng Li, was gone, and the others always felt a little lacking.

This kind of thing often happens during the casting process. Many directors will even make a lot of efforts and compromises for the best candidate in their minds.

In the end, Old Monster Xu had to settle for the second best and chose Yu Nan, and Wei Jin had no objection.

On the one hand, he is indeed a talented actor; on the other hand, Wei Jin has had a very good impression of Yu Nan since they met.

As for the role of the second female lead, it was naturally given to Song Yi, even though she did not perform the best during the audition.

But this slight difference is obviously not as good as a saying from the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

The roles have been finalized, the preliminary preparations have been basically completed, and the project has entered the final preparation stage.

According to what Xu Laoguai said, it is estimated that the filming will officially start in about ten days.

On the way out of the company, Wei Jin received a call from Song Yi. She already knew the result of the audition and specially sent an invitation.

Because Song Yi knows very well that the reason why she can stand out among many female stars such as Wang Luodan, Bai Baihe, Tong Yaya, etc. is definitely not because of her excellent acting skills, but because of the man standing behind her.

Moreover, there were many women around Wei Jin, so he must seize the opportunity to express his gratitude.

Unfortunately, Wei Jin directly refused. After all, although the top-grade physique was good, he needed to change his taste after tasting it for more than a month.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wei Jin had already received a call from Liu Yifei in advance. The girl had just returned to Beijing after finishing her announcement.

With the fairy in hand, Wei Jin naturally had no time to care about Song Yi.

All the way to Xishan Villa, a hot and delicate body flew over to him impatiently and hung on him like a koala.

Wei Jin lifted up the fairy's buttocks with both hands and pinched them lightly with his five fingers. They were full and soft, and felt really good.

"Yifei, you are the Tokyo Film Queen, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Facing Wei Jin's teasing, Liu Yifei pouted and said, "I don't care. No one saw it anyway. It's been almost two months. I miss you~~"

The charm of the cute and coquettish angel was truly irresistible, and Wei Jin said nothing more. He just held her in his arms and kissed her soft lips hard.

Wei Jin suddenly discovered that the little girl's perfume today smelled quite nice, which somewhat added to the fun.

The kiss lasted until both of them were almost out of breath.

At this time, Wei Jin had already carried Liu Yifei to the sofa: "It seems that Yifei really misses me."

Biting her red lips lightly, Liu Yifei said coquettishly: "Bad guy, you only know how to bully me~~"

"Yifei, you can bully me too."

Tianxian understood Wei Jin's meaning, smoothed the hair beside her ears, gave him a charming look, and slowly lowered her head.
After several rounds of lovemaking, Liu Yifei's delicate face was covered with blushes, and her rosy body pressed against Wei Jin, feeling the beautiful afterglow.

And Wei Jin, who had just finished his cultivation, also played with the girl's slender and plump legs and couldn't let go.

"Brother, what do you think the global box office of Frozen will be? I saw overseas media predict that the box office may exceed 10 billion US dollars. Is that true?"

Facing the girl's slightly expectant gaze, Wei Jin held her tighter in his arms and then gave an affirmative answer.

"Well, it's only been a week, and the global box office has reached 1.68 million US dollars. Plus, animation has a long lifespan, so I think it's very likely to be achieved."

Others may not know, but doesn’t he know about the Wei and Jin dynasties?

This film will eventually top the global box office top 50, with a total box office of 13 billion US dollars, becoming the second in the animation field.

The first place is the sequel to Frozen! "That's great!"

Liu Yifei had great faith in Wei Jin's judgment, and did not conceal the joy on her face at this moment.

Although she is just a voice actor, it is definitely a happy thing to be able to participate in such a movie that is destined to go down in film history.

“I just don’t know when we can enter the domestic market?”

"It's definitely not going to work this year, let's see next year."

Wei Jin held Xue Zi's hand and pointed at the plum blossoms that were already in full bloom. "Let's go and see them together when the time comes."

"Ah."

Liu Yifei nodded, and then looked forward to it, "Brother, do you think the domestic market will be as strong as this?"

Wei Jin pinched the girl's nose and said, "If you want the box office to be good, then you should promote it more when the time comes."

"Of course, I will post on Weibo every day then, hehe~~"

"Well, I'll help promote it then."

"Mua~~Brother, you are so nice."

Seeing the blush on the girl's face, Wei Jin smiled playfully, "Yifei, when you express your gratitude, you must be sincere."

"Bad brother, what tricks do you want to play again?"

Wei Jin reached out and lifted the girl's chin, "Yi Fei, why don't you change into that outfit."

The man's breath made Liu Yifei's ears itch slightly, and her delicate ears became even redder. After a long while, she uttered an almost inaudible sound, "Hmm."

That night, the fairy once again put on the stewardess uniform and black silk stockings, adding a touch of color to Wei Jin's immortal cultivation career.
The next evening, "New Police Story 2013" held its premiere.

With the support of Wanda Films, Shanhe Media, China Film Group, and even subordinate units of the GA Department, the premiere was very grand.

The location was chosen to be Wanda’s flagship store in Beijing.

Perhaps it was the first time she was in a dominant position, so Wanda made a big move this time. The entire studio was closed from noon just for the premiere in the evening.

Starting from the afternoon, news from the red carpet almost occupied the front row of entertainment information.

A large number of celebrity artists, directors, producers, and leading companies in the industry came to show their support.

The starlight on the entire red carpet is comparable to a film festival awards ceremony.

Of course, this also excited the hundreds of media reporters and many fans who came to the scene spontaneously.

As one of the producers, Shanhe Media will definitely participate.

However, Liu Yifei, although she also received an invitation, had an appointment with Shu Chang for a party and was unable to attend.

Because Shu's drama "Beauty of War" is about to be aired, and she will be promoting it soon, the two besties naturally have to seize the time to get together. This is also the norm in the entertainment industry - being together less and apart more.

Even Jing Tian was unable to attend the event because he was still promoting "The Killing" around the world.

As for Zeng Li and Da Meiyuan, they now have children and basically seldom participate in evening activities.

When Wei Jin arrived at the scene on time, it was already dark, but this was the capital city, and the city lights were so bright that even the sky was illuminated as if it were daytime.

Cheers and shouts could be heard from afar; those were the fans cheering for the stars walking on the red carpet.

Without staying on the red carpet for too long and casually answering a few questions from reporters, Wei Jin walked into the venue.

Looking around, the scene was extremely lively, with a large number of celebrity artists shuttling back and forth among numerous production companies, big directors and producers.

Including Brother Cheng Long, he also took the main creative team to greet guests everywhere, but Prince Long followed behind him, and his intention was self-evident.

Fan Bingbing, this scoundrel, was keeping an eye on all directions and was the first to spot the lone Wei Jin, with a smile appearing on his face.

"Uncle, why did you come just now~~"

"The Suspect" has been released for almost half a month, and the roadshow has come to an end. It is normal for Fan Bingbing to appear on such occasions.

Today, Fan Bingbing wore a black deep V long dress with gorgeous makeup, which made her look extremely aggressive and a disaster to the country and the people.

"Sister-in-law, you are really good today"

Fan Bingbing took Wei Jin's teasing as a compliment. The smile on her face became more intense. She blinked at him and kissed him with her red lips.

"Uncle, whether it tastes good or not, you have to try it to know. Do you want to try it tonight?"

As he spoke, Fan Bingbing had already put his arm around Wei Jin's and was holding him tightly.

Feeling the soft touch on his arm, Wei Jin smiled.

"Sure, we can have some fun tonight."

Fan Bingbing was very happy when he got the reply.

It's no joke that men are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty. She hasn't eaten meat for more than two months. She must be craving for it, right?
Just as he was about to continue saying something, the staff came to greet him, and the premiere was about to begin.

Today's premiere didn't have too many fancy things to do. Brother Cheng Long shared a lot of things about the filming process on stage.

When faced with questions from the media about the box office, the eldest brother made a joke.

"There is a joke in the industry that you can always trust the vision of Director Wei Jin. If Shanhe Media dares to invest 30% of the film, the box office will definitely not be bad."

Wow, after these words came out, the media reporters below really had nothing to say, because this was indeed a real achievement!

Soon, the main feature of the movie began to play and the audience began to watch with eyes wide open.

But as time goes by, many people sigh: No one can defeat the knife of time.

Even Brother Cheng Long is old.

"Will you book the entire place?" Lao Wang asked in a low voice.

"That's not the case, but there will definitely be some care, like you know."

Wei Jin glanced at the two men in uniform in the front row. As long as everyone in this system showed their support, it wouldn't matter whether the place was booked or not.

"Tsk tsk, isn't that a sure win?"

"If Brother Wang is interested, you can give it a try."

Wei Jin joked, and Lao Wang stopped talking, "Forget it, isn't this a good low-budget youth film?"

Now, Lao Wang regrets making martial arts films. He believes that youth films and comedies are the best way to make money.

Of course, the most profitable one will always be following Wei and Jin!
