During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 655 Harem Harmony VS Character Collapse
After three days of auditions, the cast list for "The Journey of Flower" was announced.

Jiang Xueman and director Lin Yufen handed the list to Wei Jin for review.

Gao Weiguang, who is under Yang Mi, got the leading male role as he wished. In the words of Lin Yufen, his costume look is very good.

Especially since she is a model and has specially practiced the posture and steps of ancient people, she fits the role very well.

Including Li Ruixi, although she is not a professional actor, her performance is indeed very spiritual, and she also got a supporting role with a lot of lines.

Jiang Xin's audition was very successful, and she didn't even need Wei Jin to say hello, as Lin Yufen had already liked her very much.

In addition, Wei Jin's new assistant Chen Yuqi also participated in the show and played the role of Tang Bao.

This was not a greeting from Wei Jin, but a choice from Lin Yufen. She felt that Chen Yuqi had a sunny appearance, which was quite suitable for this quirky role.

But when he saw a familiar name, Wei Jin paused and looked up at Jiang Xueman. The latter was organizing her words, but Lin Yufen spoke first.

"Boss Wei, I'm the one who decided on Yu Bo. His audition performance for the role of Shan Chunqiu was great, and I think he's quite suitable."

"Director Lin, do you think I'm so unkind?" Wei Jin pretended to be displeased.

It is certainly difficult to avoid the human relationships in the entertainment industry. If you have the opportunities and resources, and under the same conditions, it is normal to take care of your relatives and friends.

Of the original three treasures of Zhouyi, Yang Junyi has already retired; and Zhang Jin, because of his split with Char Siu, continues to hang around in the Hong Kong circle, while also maintaining a good relationship with Shanhe Media.

Only Yu Bo is left, and he has not been doing well in recent years.

Wei Jin didn't think there was anything wrong with promoting Jiang Xueman at the appropriate time.

This includes Li Chun under Jingtian. If she didn't have this relationship, she might not have gotten the role of Ni Mantian, because TV dramas don't actually require high acting skills.

In addition to the fit with the role, it is more about human relationships.

"Boss Wei is right. I am too narrow-minded."

Lin Yufen, who had been in the business for many years, certainly knew how to read people's expressions and came down the ladder, while Jiang Xueman seemed a little helpless.

There are not many female directors in the company, and since they have worked together many times, she and Lin Yufen have always had a good relationship.

She didn't expect that Lin Yufen would explain in advance and cause such a misunderstanding.

"Okay, let's finalize the list."

Wei Jin ended the topic and looked at Jiang Xueman: "Director Jiang, has the specific start time been decided?"

"Mr. Wei, the preparations for the costume drama will be slower, and it is estimated that it will be completed around mid-April. However, Director Lin is going to participate in the promotion of "My Deskmate", and we plan to start filming in early May. What do you think?"

"Okay, this speed is quite fast." Wei Jin did not raise any objections.

The directors in the company who are good at costume dramas are Lin Yufen and Wu Jinyuan. The latter has "Joy of Life 2" on hand, so they can only coordinate with the former's schedule.

"By the way, Director Jiang, please organize a screening of Red Sorghum as soon as possible."

Wei Jin thought of the news he got from Lao Wang: "From now on, there will be no more four-star broadcast."

"Has it been decided?"

"Well, it was officially passed at a meeting a few days ago. I'm afraid that the one-series-two-stars broadcast model will be implemented next year."

The so-called "one drama, two stars" means that a TV series can only be broadcast on two satellite channels at the same time. And the number of TV series broadcasted in the prime time every night is limited to no more than two episodes.

After the introduction of this policy, four-star broadcasts will become history, and the impact on the film and television industry will be huge.

On the one hand, TV stations must make adjustments to their evening program editing and broadcasting, advertising placement, TV drama purchasing strategies, etc.

On the other hand, producers will have less choice, and the phenomenon of having multiple studios take over will no longer exist.

However, for Shanhe Media, this policy has a certain impact, but it is not too big.

After all, as long as you have access to high-quality film and television resources, you can still make a living.

In the film market, "Lost and Love" was released.

Although the production cost of the film is not high, with the success of "Dear" as a precedent, theaters are very optimistic about the subject matter and cast of "Lost and Love", and the screening schedule is quite good.

Shanhe Cinemas and Wanda Cinemas have both been given 35% of the screening time.

Other cinemas with good relations, such as China Film Star Media, Shanghai New Film Association, and Dadi Cinemas, also gave a screening rate of no less than 30%.

Thanks to this, although the release period was not very popular, "Lost and Love" achieved quite impressive box office results on its first day, closing in 3368 million.

The online reputation is also pretty good, with an online impression score of 7.6, which is average.

People in the industry have a hunch that based on the first-day results and ratings, "Lost and Love" will not do too badly, and a conservative estimate of 3-4 million will definitely be no problem.

For a time, many film production colleagues were considering similar themes.

After all, whether it is "Lost and Love" or "Dear", it has been proved that this type of subject matter does have great market potential!
It was at this time that several movies announced their release dates, instantly making the summer season lively.

The most popular one, of course, is the literary romance film "The Fault in Our Stars" written, directed and starred by Wei Jin, who teamed up with Liu Yifei.

The confidentiality of this drama was well done from the beginning to the end of its filming. Even when it won the Best Actress award at the Tokyo International Film Festival, it remained very low-key.

Now that the release date has finally been set, audiences and fans are already looking forward to it.

Liu Yifei’s fans, in particular, even clamored to wait for the movie to be released, so that the 85 flowers can have a good look at what is the "gold content of the Tokyo Film Queen" and what is the "pinnacle of acting skills of a goddess"!
The second is "Coming Home", directed by Zhang Yimou and starring many big stars such as Chen Daoming, Gong Li, and Jing Tian.

This drama has attracted considerable attention since the casting began last year. Now that the release date has been announced, fans, moviegoers and audiences are looking forward to it.

Compared with the reputation of Wei Jin and Zhang Yimou, Guo Xiaosi's treatment is much worse. The "Tiny Times 3" is scheduled to be released in late July, and it has been ridiculed on the Internet.

In the words of netizens, the popularity of Golden Broom has not yet passed, and the film has just been completed, but Guo Xiaosi can't wait to set a release date. His intention to make money is too obvious.
But fans of the "Tiny Times" series and Guo Xiaosi don't think so. They said that during the summer vacation, they want to let people in the circle see what a "fan movie" is!
Regardless of whether it was praise or criticism, "Star Luck", "Coming Home" and "Tiny Times 3" ultimately sparked heated discussions online.

The release date of Guang Dong's "The Four 3" barely made any splash, and there was even little discussion about it online.

Fiber Optic was also very cunning. It actually started to take advantage of the popularity and promoted the gimmick of "Rare in history - head-on confrontation between 85 flowers".

It’s no wonder that as soon as this promotional proposal came out, the Internet became lively instantly.

Because Jing Tian, ​​Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and Bai Bin are all representatives of the 85 flowers. In particular, these four have a deep relationship with Wei Jin, and have long been classified as members of the harem.

Not only the fans of each company are clamoring to see who is better; even many people who like to have fun are waiting with great interest to see whether there will be a fire in Boss Wei's backyard.
It is of course impossible for something to catch fire. If it were really that easy to catch fire, Lao Wang wouldn't dare to market this.

Even before the hype, Lao Wang had specially communicated with Wei Jin, and Wei Jin generously said that it was no problem, his main focus was on having fun, and the harem was full of harmony.

For example, at this moment, the two elder sisters cooperated very well, allowing Wei Jin to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Lying on the big white bed, Zeng Li, wearing Wei Jin's favorite black matte pajamas, turned around and held the trophy in both hands, stroking it carefully.

The beautiful girl, wearing a pink silk suspender skirt, which gave her a full look of both a young woman and a young girl, had long hair falling like a waterfall. There was a hazy light flashing in her eyes, and she was singing softly on the other side.

Wei Jin was intoxicated by the imperial treatment. He kept expressing his gratitude to Sister Li and his hands responded enthusiastically to Gao Yuanyuan's tenderness.

The moonlight outside the window fell into the room like water, illuminating the outlines of three intertwined figures.

The air was filled with beautiful fragrance, mixed with each other's breath. The temperature seemed to be getting higher and higher, and Wei Jin felt hotter and hotter.

In just a few minutes, Zeng Li shouted for mercy, turned around and raised her beautiful buttocks high.

Human sorrows and joys are not interlinked.

Boss Wei is a scumbag. He spends his weekends hanging out with his two wives and enjoying all the happiness of having two wives.

However, Emblem, who has always been known as a good man who loves his wife and cares for his family, experienced a storm in the new week!

The famous paparazzi Zhuo Wei, leading the elite members of Fengxing Studio, fired his gun close to the emblem, staging a famous scene of "See you on Monday".

The incident was caused by Zhuo Wei’s Weibo post “See you on Monday” last Friday.

The content directly refers to Liu Yi Yang and Tong Jia Qian from "Naked Marriage".

Within a few hours, the person involved angrily refuted: "This is slander, a completely false report, and we will not rule out the use of legal means to protect our own rights and interests."

After a scolding, the emblem even warned the paparazzi to be careful.

In the end, it was unclear whether the price was not agreed upon after the private contact, or whether he was just seeking revenge after being ridiculed.

Just two days later, a large number of photos appeared on the Internet, all of which were of Hui Zhang and Tong Jiaqian.

The emblem, which was confirmed by the stone, stopped making a fuss and slid down on his knees to admit his mistake.

Unfortunately, public opinion has already arisen, so how can you stop it just like that?
Compared with the "Yanzhao Generosity Gate" incident in 08, the "See you on Monday" in the emblem is certainly not as sensational.

But times have changed. Now is the era of Weibo, and everyone is watching the show, especially when a popular male star or a good father falls from grace. There are so many people watching the fun!
Because from the perspective of human nature, most people like to create gods, but they like to destroy gods even more.

Wen Zhang, who graduated from the 02 class of the Central Academy of Drama, has had smooth sailing since his debut. Even though he was snatched away by Shanhe Media in various ways, he still has countless representative works.

Several hit TV series, such as "Struggle", "Dwelling Narrowness", and "Naked Marriage", have made it very popular among the people.

As for movies, Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons had a box office of over 10 billion, and was even publicly praised by Jiang Wen on various occasions - the best acting actor among male actors born in the 80s!

In terms of actor alone, Wen Zhang is definitely not inferior to Hu Ge, Wang Kai, Chen Xiao and other post-80s actors, and firmly occupies the first echelon.

Now the reputation has turned around, and the emblem has instantly become a person who is disliked by others for his smelly dog.

All kinds of scandals about him being a big shot were exposed, his image and reputation plummeted, all major film crews avoided him, and even his mentor Zhao Baogang said frankly that he dared not use him lightly.

However, in Wei Jin's view, the reason why Wen Zhang suffered such a miserable end was not entirely because he was denounced by netizens, but to a large extent it was his own fault.

First of all, the character was set up too harshly, and then collapsed too badly.

The image of a good father or a good husband does bring a lot of benefits, but correspondingly, it is bound to be subject to many constraints.

The impression and reaction caused by a scumbag cheating, an ordinary person cheating, and a recognized good man cheating are completely different.

A bad guy can “lay down his butcher knife and become a Buddha instantly”, but a good guy will be guilty of the unforgivable crime if he makes the slightest mistake!
This is also the reason why Wei Jin has never publicized its charity work in recent years. Never underestimate human nature.

Secondly, the emblem is too domineering and offends too many people.

Ever since he became famous, Embroidery has become frivolous and arrogant, and is widely regarded as difficult to serve in the circle. Especially after he got close to Li Lianlian, he became even more arrogant.

Things like "I had to eat oil-splashed noodles in the middle of the night, forcing the crew to run all over the city", and "I had to drink hand-ground coffee, otherwise I wouldn't cooperate with the interview".
All kinds of negative information were revealed from staff, fellow artists, companies, crews and other channels, which was like a broken drum being beaten by everyone.

After all, there are only so many slots in the entertainment industry, which is a place of fame and fortune. When nothing is done, artists in the industry will pull each other down and scramble for resources.

For example, the core reason for the "stabbing" incident was the competition for resources.

Not to mention that now that Emblem’s character has collapsed, if not take the opportunity to kill him, when?
Of course, there are some bad ships. Bai Zhang has been in the circle for so many years, and it’s not that no one has helped him.

But compared to those who want to step on him, there are very few people willing to help him.

From this point we can see that this person is indeed a very bad person.

Third, he betrayed his wife who helped him get married, which led to him being deserted by everyone.

If it were something else, having the connections of Ma Yili, a big name in the Beijing circle, might not necessarily defeat Ying Zhang.

But now, he took advantage of Ma Yili's second pregnancy to cheat on her, which is extremely bad and tantamount to ungratefulness.

This also led to disappointment and disgust towards him among Ma Yili herself, the couple's fans, and many of their friends and connections.

Although Ma Yili stood up to express her support for the coat of arms, her words "Cherish every moment you have" were even praised as brilliant public relations.

However, although this speech seemed to help Emblem, it also made the public's view of him even worse.

Netizens’ reaction was: How can you betray such a good wife? Are you a human being?

So when the "See you on Monday" incident happened, Emblem was beaten so badly that he had no power to fight back at all.

In just a few days, all kinds of negative news about Meng Zhang were flying around, and his reputation, acting contracts, and endorsement career collapsed completely.

But what is even worse is that the actresses will most likely face being banned in the future.

You know, Ma Yili, who was born in Beijing, is not a good person. She has many ways to deal with her.
