During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 649: The achievement of rewriting the history of Chinese films has come true

“CNN: The Academy strikes back — Oscars make a big comeback, with Nomadland taking the top spot!”

“Associated Press: Dongfang Wei won the Oscar for Best Picture, rewriting the history of Chinese films again!”

“The New York Times: The award for Nomadland is not only a recognition of Dongfang Weiyan’s personal talent, but also a promotion of the diversified development of the film industry.”

"FOX: Best Film: "Nomadland" - reflects the bleak old age of the lower nomadic people in North America"

“The Washington Post: ‘Nomadland’s’ unexpected victory sparks controversy!”

“Reuters: Oscars break the mediocrity, innovation begins to show signs of progress!”

If the world's media still have controversy and discussion about "Nomadland" and Wei Jin's award, then the domestic film and television circles, entertainment circles, major portals, and social platforms are still having controversy and discussion.
It was truly a sea of ​​carnival, with overwhelming praises that completely deified the Wei and Jin dynasties!

"Film Channel reports: The 86th Academy Awards ceremony has officially ended. The movie "Nomadland" has won four out of six nominations!"

"Director Wei Jin won this year's Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture for his film Nomadland!"

"In seven years, four performances, and 11 Oscars, Director Wei Jin shines at the Oscars tonight, rewriting the history of Chinese cinema once again!"

"After 1969, 45 years later, the Oscar winner has a double yolk again."

"Frances McDormand won the Best Actress award for the second time with "Nomadland", and 'declared her love' to Wei and Jin!"

"Best Cinematography Award winner Dong Jinsong said frankly: Without Director Wei, there would be no trophy!"

"Director Wei Jin kissed Jing Tian twice, expressing his love for the goddess of luck on the spot!"

“After winning Best Foreign Language Film, Best Screenplay, and Best Director, Director Wei Jin has set a precedent by becoming the first Asian winner of Best Picture!”

"China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Xi'an Film Group, Guangguang Film Group, Wanda Film Group, Yinghuang Film Group. Repost the relevant information and congratulate Director Wei Jin for his success!"

The entire film and television industry was in an uproar, and everyone was watching the news. Wei Jin was holding the golden man in one hand and the certificate in the other, enjoying the honor of being the center of attention in Hollywood, where many big names gathered!

Another achievement has been set, another precedent has been created, and another golden body has been created!
All colleagues in the film and television industry are well aware that the current Wei and Jin dynasties have their BUFFs fully stacked and are completely impeccable.

As long as Wei Jin doesn't do anything stupid, there will be no problem!

As for his little gossip? Come on, are you kidding me?
In comparison, celebrities in the entertainment industry are more concerned about the fact that Wei Jin has won an Oscar for Best Actress!

Even though it was a double yolk egg, even though she was crowned the queen twice, but having the first one meant that he could also support the second and third
Even if he can’t even think about winning the Best Actor or Best Actress awards because of his skin color, what about the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actor?

Besides, didn’t the Wei and Jin dynasties set a precedent? Who can predict the future?

All the celebrities and artists were excited and dreamed of participating in Wei Jin's films, sweeping the three major European films and winning an Oscar!

This also led to the priority of "Gone Lover" being raised once again, and countless artists in the circle were asking for news.

Most people don't dare to contact Wei Jin directly, including the official reply from Chen Xi. But the leading actress Gao Yuanyuan should have some inside information, right?

"It's a feature film, but it will also compete for awards, and there are many supporting roles. The specific candidates have not been decided yet. He will probably audition when he comes back. When? I don't know."

Watching Gao Yuanyuan hang up the phone after who knows what number of calls she received, Zeng Li also became curious, "Yuanyuan, has Xiao Jin really not decided on any other actors?"

"Really? He said there's no rush for now."

At this point, Gao Yuanyuan pouted, "This time, he should stay in North America for a few more days, right?"

"Well, we have to choose a good day."

Zeng Li naturally knew that Da Meiyuan was feeling a little jealous. After all, Wei Jin had not hidden the marriage certificate from either of them.

In comparison, Zeng Li was quite open-minded. It didn't matter who came first or later. The Wei and Jin dynasties had already treated everyone equally.

"Yuanyuan, have you decided where to go?"

Hearing this, Da Meiyuan's thoughts instantly drifted to the tavern where she and Wei Jin met by chance in Berlin ten years ago.

Thinking of the madness of that night, Da Meiyuan, who is already a mother, still blushed and whispered in a low voice: "Where else can we go?"

Zeng Li saw this and also fell into longing. Cannes is also a good place.
For two consecutive days, the news about Wei Jin and Oscar remained as popular in China as ever, but eventually other people became hot searches.

As the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.

Yao Dazui, who has always loved to be a "public intellectual" and gain popularity, has failed this time.

A sentence on Weibo, "In the land where the flowers of evil bloom, may the truth come out soon to comfort the innocent souls," directly triggered a wave of public opinion.

Although the Weibo post disappeared quickly and a team was arranged to handle public relations, the public was not so easily fooled this time.

The land where you were born and raised is actually called the land where the flower of evil blooms? What is your standard of good and evil?
Even the United Nations has confirmed that it was a terrorist attack, and you actually questioned the truth of the incident? You are so crooked!

The infamy of "Flower of Evil" was given to Yao Dazui by the whole network, and even the media criticized him in various ways.

What the entertainment industry lacks the least is people who beat up those who are down and out. Many of Yao Dazui’s negative stories were also exposed by people in the industry at this time.

She cheated on her husband many times during her marriage, falsely accused her ex-husband, and threatened netizens with human flesh searches.
One thing after another directly stripped off Yao Dazui's fig leaf, and coupled with this incident, public opinion exploded like a powder keg that encountered fire.

A large number of Weibo fans immediately quit following him; Ganji.com announced the termination of its endorsement contract with Yao Dazui on the same day.
Faced with overwhelming abuse and accusations, as well as overwhelming pressure, even Huayi’s public relations team could not help her clean up this time, and it was too late to do so.

Everyone knows that Yao Dazui, who has benefited from "Guo Furong" for more than ten years, is basically finished!
Wei Jin didn't pay much attention to domestic news.

In addition to dealing with media interviews in Hollywood these two days, he also took time to visit Warner's special effects center to see the post-production progress and effects of "Interstellar".

Nolan is very concerned about this movie, which cost 1.7 million US dollars and the script he specially asked for from Wei Jin.

As a director with a salary of 10 billion US dollars, he has been staying here almost since the end of filming.

"Wei, the special effects are currently one quarter complete, come and take a look."

Nolan pulled Wei Jin to look at some of the effects, explaining from time to time.

This play has a lot of special effects, and many of the models are designed based on physics theories.

Such as wormhole special effects, Miller planet giant wave special effects, black hole special effects, five-dimensional space special effects, space flight and planetary environment special effects
Therefore, in order to achieve the best effect, Warner outsourced some of the special effects of the film to ScanlineVFX.

The company was founded in Munich in 1989 and only opened a branch in North America after the financial crisis in 08, but its business level is very high and it can be called one of the world's top special effects companies.

Well-known works including "2012", "Game of Thrones" and "Life of Pi" are all from this company.

According to the other party's feedback and Warner's progress, Nolan expects the film to be released before the end of July.

"Wei, believe me, Interstellar will be a global hit."

Nolan could hardly conceal the excitement on his face. In his opinion, there was no way he could catch up with Wei Jin in terms of awards, but he might still be able to compete in terms of box office results.

Especially this movie, the script is so solid, super hardcore science fiction, even Nolan thinks it can break the record of "Inception"!

Wei Jin was not so competitive. The higher the box office of the movie, the better. He could make money and promote Liu Shishi at the same time. Why not?

While discussing the final editing plan with Nolan, Paul came over to chat after finishing his work. Wei Jin didn't expect that Paul would make him confused as soon as he opened his mouth. Warner actually planned to release this movie in November!
"why?"

“Wei, the schedule for December this year is too crowded. The group’s films include The Hobbit and Exodus: Gods and Kings.

In addition, Fox has gone crazy this year, with several movies pushed back to the second half of the year, with three to be released in December."

After listening to Paul's explanation, Wei Jin roughly understood the situation.

Fox has been suppressed severely in the past two years, and it should be making an effort this year. Warner does not intend to compete head-on. After all, the relationship between the six major companies is one of competition and compromise.

For them, the bigger threat comes from independent film companies.

Instead of crowding all the films into one month, it is better to spread them out and tap the potential of each schedule.

Moreover, November is the traditional autumn and winter season in North America. With the blessing of Thanksgiving, the box office potential is not small.

Even with the support of the movie's reputation, it may be possible to reap the benefits of the popular December schedule.

After all, the release period in the global film market is much longer than that in China.

"Okay, since you have made your decision, I respect it. As for the Chinese market, I will discuss it with other producers."

"no problem."

Paul does not insist on simultaneous release.

The potential of the Chinese market is obvious to all, and being able to choose a better schedule would definitely be the best solution.

After leaving Warner and returning to Summit Entertainment, Wei Jin came to the office where he could only stay for a few days a year.

On the table was the company-related information that Hunter had sorted out.

After reading it carefully, Wei Jin nodded. Hunter was quite capable and had managed Summit Entertainment in an orderly manner over the years.

Then he noticed another report, which was about the box office statistics of Fifty Shades of Grey.

The film was released on Valentine's Day and has been released for three weeks now. The local box office in North America has reached 1.56 million US dollars.

The global box office market was even more impressive, with total data reaching 5.13 million.

It is getting closer and closer to the 6 million US dollar mark predicted by the media.

Just as I was imagining how much I could earn, Hunter knocked on the door and brought me another good news.

As expected, with the blessing of three Oscar trophies, the overseas rights of "Dallas Buyers Club" were snatched up by a large number of film producers, and the final copyright price was as high as 4200 million US dollars.

"Boss, you are so wise, just like a prophet! You don't even know how much the previous investors who withdrew their capital regretted it, hahahaha."

Although Hunter was flattering, his admiration came from the bottom of his heart.

The film had been performing well at the box office, and he had originally planned to release it worldwide, but Wei Jin strongly requested to wait until the awards season was over before selling the copyright.

Hunter once felt that Wei Jin was too gambling-minded. If he got nothing, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted?

Now, I have finally received a generous reward!
Even after deducting the public relations expenses, the total profit of an investment of five million US dollars is at least over fifty million US dollars.

Considering the subsequent long-term DVD rights, this movie is definitely an example of finding a bargain!
"Okay, this kind of thing doesn't happen often. Don't think about taking advantage of opportunities every day. Just focus on the company's projects."

At this point, Wei Jin knocked on the table and said, "The promotion of The Maze Runner can begin now. We should strive to make this series a cash cow like Twilight and The Hunger Games!"

"Don't worry, boss."

Hunter patted his chest and expressed his opinion, then he remembered something.

"By the way, Boss, Leonardo and Alessandro's schedule has been confirmed, and The Revenant is scheduled to start filming in August."

Thinking of Leonardo's dejected look on Oscar night, Wei Jin nodded slowly: "Okay, I hope he can realize his dream this time."

March 6th is the sixth day of the second lunar month.

Suitable for marriage, accepting money, adulthood ceremony, and accepting a son-in-law.
Early in the morning, Lao Zhu drove Wei Jin and Jing Tian to Las Vegas, the gambling city in Nevada, in a low-key manner.

Of course, I didn't come here to have fun at the table this time, but to register secretly.

Las Vegas is known as the "Marriage Capital of the World", with an average of nearly 12 couples registering for marriage every year at its marriage registry.

In other words, the number of registrations per day is around four hundred couples.

Therefore, this is one of the few government departments in North America that is open all year round, with two shifts a day, from 8 am to 12 pm.

According to the original process, one had to apply in advance, hold the wedding, and finally get the marriage certificate.

But in a capitalist society, as long as you are willing to spend money, efficiency will naturally be high.

In less than two hours, Wei Jin and Jing Tian received a thin piece of color-printed A4 paper.

"Tiantian, now you are the daughter-in-law of my Wei family. Are you happy?"

Back at the hotel, Wei Jin couldn't help but make a joke when he saw the girl holding the framed marriage certificate with a happy look on her face.

"There's no proposal, no wedding, what's there to be happy about?"

Even though he knew that the girl was just being stubborn, after all, even AK couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, Wei Jin still felt a little apologetic.

So he held the girl in his arms and said softly, "Tiantian, if we have a chance in the future, let's have a wedding in a movie or TV series."

"really?"

Jing Tian's big eyes lit up instantly, and there was an undisguised look of surprise on her face.

"real."

Wei Jin nodded solemnly. Emotional value is also very important. Anyway, it is not difficult for him as long as he treats everyone equally.

"That's great~~mua~~mua~~"

Jing Tian gave him a kiss on the spot, but Wei Jin held her buttocks with both hands and squeezed them, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Tiantian, these words are just not sincere."

"Bad guy, there's really nothing I can do to you."

Jing Tian gave him a charming look, pushed Wei Jin with her snow-white arm, and then slowly squatted down.

"Hiss~~Oh~~~"

That night, the props prepared by Wei Jin finally came in handy.
