During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 651: Liu Shishi's Role Playing Troublemaker Enters the Scene

In the capital city, in the West Hill villa, the love nest of Liu Shishi and Wei Jin has been decorated into a sea of ​​flower petals.

Because today is Liu Shishi’s 27th birthday.

Last year, due to the filming of a movie, Wei Jin was unable to celebrate for the girl. This year, both of them are in Beijing, so of course he has to make it up to her.

You have to know that when a man and a woman are together, no matter how strong the relationship is, emotional value is very important.

Wei Jin couldn't give the girl a complete home, so he naturally had to pay more attention to other aspects.

Liu Shishi was seen wrapping her limbs around Wei Jin like an octopus, admiring his handsome and resolute face from a close distance.

The love in those big eyes seemed to be overflowing.

It was obvious that she was very satisfied with Wei Jin's arrangements for today.

Of course, the little girl's soft figure and the specially prepared black silk tube top suit also made Wei Jin very excited.

After two or three minutes, Liu Shishi came to her senses with a satisfied smile on her face.

Afterwards, she behaved like a well-behaved cat, snuggled up to the man and told him about her understanding of the script of "Wushuang" during this period.

After listening to it, Wei Jin praised: "Shishi, your character analysis is very accurate. After joining the group, please ask Teacher Zhang Songwen for advice."

Ying Huang is very efficient. The preliminary preparations for "Wushuang" have been completed and the filming is about to start.

In terms of budget, the production cost of "Wushuang" was 1.8 million yuan, of which Ying Huang contributed million yuan, accounting for %.

At the instruction of Wei Jin, the director this time invited Zhuang Wenqiang, who was also one of the directors of the "Infernal Affairs" series, the original director.

This person is particularly good at this style of script.

But also because of the "Infernal Affairs" series, Zhuang Wenqiang has a close bond with Media Asia, so it was not convenient for Golden Harvest to come forward to invite him, so it was still Yinghuang who arranged it.

In fact, this was also one of the reasons why Wei Jin agreed to Ying Huang joining.

As for the main creative lineup, Wei Jin did not interfere too much.

After all, Hong Kong movies are all about selling feelings, and the original characters are all well-acted.

Including several acclaimed large-scale scenes in the play, all of which were tailor-made for Chow Yun-fat.

Therefore, in addition to Liu Shishi, Wei Jin only arranged Zhang Songwen to play the original role of Liao Qizhi.

The main purpose is to let him act as a follow-up teacher to take care of Liu Shishi.

After all, Liu Shishi is not a professional actor. Even though she has consciously honed her acting skills over the years and her acting skills are much better than in her previous life, she still has little experience on the big screen.

Moreover, in the drama "Wushuang", she has to play two roles, which is completely different from her role in "The Witch".

Wei Jin felt that someone had to be arranged to cover the situation, which made Zhang Songwen suffer as he had to clear various hell-difficulty dungeons over the years.

Of course, Wei Jin did not treat him unfairly. Suitable resources were supplied in almost unlimited quantities. Not only was he treated well in the company, but he was also highly respected.

However, Wei Jin did not interfere much, but Ying Huang arranged a lot of people.

The second female lead, who had a more prominent role, was played by Wen Yongshan.

Considering that the girl had a good personality and would not cause any trouble on the crew, Wei Jin did not refuse.

However, because of her appearance, she will appear a little ugly in the play, otherwise the script would be too illogical.

This includes actor Xie, who has starred in many movies but failed to carry the box office. He will also play a supporting role with a small number of lines this time.

In Boss Yang's words, it would also be beneficial for Actor Xie to get some help from the box office.

The rest of the supporting roles were discussed by Golden Harvest and Ying Huang.

Of course, both families were aware of Wei Jin's temper, and those with crooked or unclean butts were not used.

"Yes, brother, I will. I will definitely not hold the crew back." Liu Shishi nodded solemnly.

She is very clear that even with the success of "The Witch", she is still a newcomer in the film industry.

Including the previous project announcement, when people in the circle learned that she would play the leading role in a big production with a cost of nearly 2 million yuan, I don’t know how many actresses were jealous of her.

Acting with so many big-name stars this time is definitely a boost to her status.

But if the performance is not good, it will be Wei Jin who will be embarrassed, and this is something Liu Shishi will never allow!

Looking at the girl's serious expression, an idea emerged in Wei Jin's mind.

Most of the women around him have tried sleeping with him, but Liu Shishi is the only one who has always been alone.

Wei Jin felt it necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to at least take the first step and try role-playing first.

So Wei Jin raised his lips in a playful manner, lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

"Teacher, learning on paper is always shallow. Teacher Zhang only gave you some theoretical knowledge. Next, let me tell you about the practical experience of playing two roles by one person."

After knowing each other for many years, Liu Shishi immediately understood the meaning of Wei Jin's words, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.

But Wei Jin's burning gaze made her unable to say no.

Wei Jin had never thought that he could see news about Leonardo while in China.

Perhaps because of his many Oscar-winning stints, Leo learned his lesson this time and in order to concentrate on preparing for "The Revenant", he actually kicked out the young model who was not even 23 years old and whom he had been dating for just three months.

Of course, the above reasons are just Leonardo’s responses to reporters. Only he himself knows the specific situation.

In China, since mid-March, there have been more hot news reports.

Although the movie "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" failed to achieve the 9 million yuan return on investment, it performed well at the box office in overseas markets because it benefited from the Monkey King.

The producers took advantage of the popularity and announced the news that they had begun preparations for the second part of the "Journey to the West" series.

Like the first part, the production cost is estimated to be no less than 4 million yuan, and the specific start time will be after National Day.

When asked by reporters about the cast, the producers said that they are still in the process of negotiating the list of candidates and do not rule out the possibility of using an all-star cast.

But it was also made clear that Zhen Zidan would not appear in the film due to schedule issues.

As the news came out, people in the circle were a little amused. Only a fool would believe such a lame excuse!
You have to know that this is a movie with an investment of four or five hundred million yuan, and the core protagonist of the "Journey to the West" series is Sun Wukong. In this case, as long as Zhen Zidan is not stupid, it is impossible for him to have no schedule half a year in advance!
To put it bluntly, the lack of schedule was a lie, but the idea of ​​leaving an escape route was real. It was obvious that Zhen Zidan was fired by the production company!

The industry has a hunch that Zhen Zidan will no longer be involved in any major Chinese film productions. The so-called Zhen Kung Fu, Universe Bullet, and Kung Fu Superstar have all become jokes, and Zhen Zidan can only wander among the second-tier actors in the future.

Wei Jin hasn't come to the company for almost a month since the beginning of the year.

Although Chen Zhiming and Zhong Lifang are in charge of the overall situation, some work still requires him to make the final decision.

When I walked past the front desk, I heard Zhang Wen whispering about Malaysia Airlines with her colleagues again.

Speaking of which, Wei and Jin were somewhat relieved.

The day when the Malaysia Airlines crash occurred was when he was returning to China from Los Angeles. Fortunately, although everyone's destination was the same, their routes were completely different.

It's a pity for those more than one hundred Chinese people. Wei Jin remembered that this lawsuit lasted for many years in his previous life. By the time the compensation is paid, I'm afraid that everything will have changed.

It is worth mentioning that it seems that Ju Kun, the martial arts instructor of "The Grandmaster" and Yuen Woo-ping's favorite disciple, was also on the plane.

This person was also nominated for the Best Director at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards. I never thought.
"Hello, Mr. Wei."

Wei Jin was still lamenting the fickleness of fate when he was startled by a sudden greeting. When he looked closely, he found that it was Zhao Liying.

The temperature in Beijing in March is not high, and the lowest temperature is only two or three degrees, but what this girl is wearing is a bit exaggerated.

She was wearing a mid-length down jacket and a scarf, and her whole body seemed to be wrapped up like a dumpling, with only her soft and cute face showing.

Seeing this, Wei Jin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiao Zhao, have you gained weight during this Spring Festival?"

"what?!"

Zhao Liying was struck by lightning when she heard this, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. "Boss Wei, I only gained three pounds, is it so obvious?"

"I guessed, haha."

Seeing the aggrieved look on Zhao Liying's face, Wei Jin also found it funny, and then comforted her: "You were a little thin before, but now you are just right."

"Yeah, Mr. Wei, you have a good eye. I used to be unable to gain weight, but this time I had a long vacation and ate too well at home."

Wei Jin believed this. Zhao Liying's family was not wealthy, otherwise she would not have taken out a loan from the company to buy a house. However, as she became more popular in the past two years, her life must have been getting better and better.

"Then you have to control yourself. Your play should be approved soon, so prepare well."

The drama that Wei Jin was talking about was "The Journey of Flower", which was originally Zhao Liying's signature role, so of course there would be no other choice for the female lead.

However, the review for this kind of weird script is relatively strict. It was submitted after the New Year, but it has not been approved yet. This is the first time that Shanhe Media has encountered this.

But according to Jiang Xuemeng's feedback, it should be soon.

"Yes, I understand, President Wei. I will try my best."

Zhao Liying nodded, secretly made up her mind, and prepared to start making a devilish fitness plan.

Figure is always a source of self-esteem for female artists. Even someone like Zhao Liying, who doesn't have a good figure, will care about it a lot.

Wei Jin didn't realize that his unintentional words had set off a long-lasting alarm in the little girl's heart.

When he arrived at the office, he saw his assistant Chen Yuqi, who was wearing a black silk hip skirt and had already prepared tea for him.

The cute and sunny little beauty always makes people happy.

"Thank you."

Wei Jin sat in the boss chair, took a sip of the best Tieguanyin, and started to work.

While drawing the storyboard for "Gone Girl", I was also thinking about the characters in my mind.

Compared to "Wushuang" which has the original actors as reference, "Vanishing Lover", a Chinese-translated script, requires a lot of thought in terms of the characters.

In addition to Gao Yuanyuan, the leading female role, the other characters also have considerable roles.

Especially the male lead, who, according to the script, has a good appearance but a slightly cowardly temperament.

Looking at the domestic entertainment industry, the first person that comes to Wei Jin's mind is Lei Jiayin. This guy's "coward" temperament is really amazing.

He and Gao Yuanyuan have worked together in "Time Travelers" and "Passengers", so I think they should have a good understanding of each other.

But the only thing that made Wei Jin a little hesitant was that Lei Datou was not particularly handsome in appearance.

So Wei Jin put it in the list of candidates first, and then discuss it with Chen Xi and Gao Yuanyuan later. There was no rush anyway.

Near noon, Chen Zhiming came in with an invitation letter, "Boss Wei, Ali sent another invitation."

"What kind of activity is this time?"

Although Wei Jin was not very happy to deal with Ali because the latter was too pretentious, this did not hinder his curiosity.

"The two parties announced their acquisition of China Culture last night. They acquired 62% of the shares for 60 billion. They invited many companies in the industry to discuss cooperation."

At this point, Chen Zhiming showed a hint of pride on his face, "Our company's achievements in film, television and variety shows are obvious to all, so we will definitely be invited."

But when Wei Jin heard this, he fell into a trance.

After the previous piracy meeting of the General Administration, Ali thought about using the acquisition that had not yet started to win over people in the circle.

However, no one took it too seriously at the time. After all, everyone in the industry has their own interest circles and small factions.

And everyone knows that there is no such thing as pie in the sky.

Only some small companies that are short of money, or actors who want to embark on the capital road, get closer to them, such as Zhao Yanzi.

But now that Ali has completed its plan to go public through a backdoor listing, and with the subsequent various financial operations, how many companies in the industry can still focus on content creation?

In other words, Ali, the troublemaker, is finally going to get involved in the film and television industry.

"Mr. Wei?"

"Lao Chen, we won't get involved. Just arrange someone to go."

Chen Zhiming was not surprised by Wei Jin's attitude and nodded.

"Okay, Mr. Wei."
