During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 672: Jealousy makes people split apart, and pretending to be cool makes people feel relaxed and happy

Beijing, inside the villa in Yanjiao.

In the spacious bedroom, Zeng Li put her arms around Wei Jin's neck and her long, beautiful legs were hooked around the man's waist.

Her jet-black hair danced with her graceful movements, but a few strands of hair on her forehead remained motionless, already soaked with sweat.

There is no doubt that tonight's game is a little special.

Under Wei Jin's attitude of taking responsibility to the end and the tight pace, Zeng Li was already a little exhausted, but still had no intention of giving up.

Just kidding, she is in her thirties and has been single for more than a month. Even though she had a meal last night, it was obviously not enough.

Wei Jin could certainly understand the elder sister's strong desire. All he could do was to let the beauty enjoy the game of cards to her heart's content.

However, Wei Jin had to admit that after these years of nurturing, Sister Li's hot body and the charm of a mature woman fascinated him.

So much so that before they knew it, Wei Jin became more and more agile, which made Sister Li happy and also very angry.

"Xiao Jin, I'm out of energy~~ Let's take a break~~"

"it is good"

Wei Jin smiled and said nothing more. He just walked to the edge of the bed, gently put the beauty down, and then patted her buttocks.

Zeng Li immediately understood and turned over, raising her round and full buttocks high.

"Haha, don't worry, Sister Li, your husband is coming right away."

After saying this, Wei Jin gently held her waist, which was free of any fat.

"Oh~~~"

With the beauty's long sigh, the second stage of the game tonight began again.
After a night of romance, a piece of news from the other side of the ocean caused a huge earthquake in the entertainment, film and television circles, and even the financial circles.

"Jindong Group officially landed on Nasdaq yesterday and rang the bell for listing!"

"At the beginning of the opening, Jindong's stock price far exceeded the issue price of US$19, starting at US$21.75"

"By the time of closing at 9 a.m. Beijing time and 20.9 p.m. New York time, the stock price closed at $22.5, with a peak of $."

"On the first day of listing, Jindong's stock price rose by more than 10%. By the close of trading, its market value was 260 billion US dollars, equivalent to more than 1600 billion yuan!"

"."

The news from the financial sector made countless people in the circle envious.

Because according to the equity structure announced by Jindong, Wei Jin's Qingtian Capital holds more than 16.7% of the shares.

In other words, this time, Boss Wei's net worth has skyrocketed by more than 260 billion!
What is this concept?
This is just the total value of Weibo on the day it went public!

"What the hell, what kind of vision does Wei Jin have? It's okay for industries related to the entertainment industry, but can he predict something like Jin Dong?"

In the office of Huayi headquarters, Wang Zhongjun looked at the news online and cursed out loud. Wang Zhonglei, who was sitting opposite him, also had a constipated look on his face.

The two brothers have been in business for more than 20 years, and even in order to start their business, the total assets they have earned so far may not even be a fraction of Wei Jin's wealth.

This fire of jealousy can really tear a person apart.

"grass!"

Apart from the jealous Huayi Brothers, the vast majority of people in the circle sent their congratulations under Wei Jin's Weibo, and all of them were full of flattery and praise.

The Internet is also very lively. Although it has nothing to do with them, everyone just likes to join in the fun.

"Hahaha, brother, look, there are netizens saying that you are an alien or a reincarnated person. I suggest that the relevant departments arrest you and dissect you. This is killing me."

In the office, Lu Yang was browsing the news online and laughing uncontrollably. Guo Fan, who was standing next to him, looked at him as if he were a fool.

Although time-travel and rebirth novels are indeed very popular in the past two years, but Brother Lu Yang, you are a graduate of the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy after all, can you be more steady?
Wei Jin, on the other hand, was not surprised at all by Lu Yang's funny behavior.

While browsing the storyboard of "Bad Genius", he responded calmly:
“That’s survivor bias. Netizens always think that I make money from whatever I invest in, but in fact, they can’t see the failure of the incubated projects at all.”

This is indeed the case. Kingkong Capital has invested in quite a few industries overseas, but it is absolutely impossible to guarantee that every one of them will make money.

After all, the investment company Wei Jin did not do it personally. It could only propose key industry directions and seize a few hot spots and related high-quality companies.

Xiang Wenlong is still in charge of the specific operations, which means that he will definitely cast a wide net, and naturally there will be projects with good potential and direction but which ultimately fail to be incubated.

Of course, with Wei Jin as the chairman, Kingkong Capital’s overseas investment must be profitable, but it’s not as exaggerated as netizens say.

"Of course I know that, but 30 billion is something I'm afraid I won't be able to earn in several lifetimes."

As soon as Lu Yang said this, Guo Fan knew that he was in trouble. After all, Wei Jin's pretentious behavior at Beijing Film Academy had already been exposed.

Sure enough, the next moment, Wei Jin was seen leaning back in the boss chair with a sad look on his face, speaking in a deep tone.

"Money is useless even though I have so much. It can't buy happiness or joy. It's still you."

"Brother!"

Guo Fan decisively interrupted Wei Jin's spellcasting and changed the subject, "What do you think of my shot?"

Lu Yang also reacted instantly and quickly agreed: "Yes, brother, do you have any suggestions?"

"."

Wei Jin was silent for a moment, cursing in his heart: Damn, this thing can't be installed, it's a bit uncomfortable.

Haven’t you heard that pretending to be cool makes people feel relaxed and happy?

But looking at these two guys, with their eagerness for knowledge on their faces, Wei Jin reluctantly forgave them.

"Not bad, but some places can be adjusted, for example."

Listening to Wei Jin's instructions, Guo Fan nodded, took notes, and asked questions from time to time.

With the original Wei and Jin dynasties in my mind, I answered them bit by bit according to their answers.

Soon, the revised storyboard script took shape.

It was at this time that Wei Jin realized what Lu Yang was doing here.
"Hey, Brother, didn't you see that I contributed to the storyboard?"

"Haha, no wonder, I was wondering why my level was a little bit low."

Wei Jin smiled and joked, and Lu Yang immediately became unhappy, "Hey, brother, it's boring if you say that. I work for nothing without getting paid. How can I be easy?"

Listening to this guy's endless complaints, Wei Jin felt a little regretful. He simply ignored him and started talking to Guo Fan about the role.

At this time, Jing Tian happily called Liu Yifei, but as expected, she was decisively rejected.

What a joke! Even if Liu Yifei agrees, her team will definitely not agree. It is normal for the entertainment industry's kings not to meet each other.

So Jing Tian thought about it and recommended her classmate and best friend, Kan Qingzi.

As they were all artists of the company, Wei Jin would not refuse, and Guo Fan agreed after listening. Although Kan Qingzi's acting skills were not top-notch, the acting requirements for the second female lead in this play were not high, and she was fully capable of handling it.

"Then I can decide the rest of the roles myself?"

"Well, whether it's an open casting or an invitation-based audition, it's up to you."

The remaining roles were all male, so Wei Jin didn't need to get involved. "By the way, has the budget been finalized?"

"Well, the company had already prepared it when the script was reviewed. If we don't consider the actors' pay, it's about 20 million."

This play does not have many scenes, but because it involves exam issues, Director Tong made some suggestions after the script was submitted.

That is: it will not be a co-production, but most of the shooting scenes need to be completed there.

The prices in Hong Kong are high, so judging from the filming costs alone, the cost of "Bad Genius" is even higher than that of "Gone Girl".

"Okay, if that's the case, let's start the project as soon as possible. Mr. Shi from Hong Kong will cooperate with you."

"Okay, senior brother."

After sending Guo Fan and Lu Yang away, Wei Jin checked his phone and saw that calls and text messages from countless people had flooded in.

After setting it to [Auto Reply], Wei Jin came to Shanhe Shuimo and prepared to start the post-production work of "The Vanishing Lover".

As mentioned before, the suspenseful atmosphere of this drama is mainly created through post-production editing.

Therefore, it was a rough editing version. Wei Jin had no choice but to do it himself because he had no choice but to ask others to do it for him.

But perhaps it was because the previous "Gravity" and "Nomadland" performed too well.

The employees of Shanhe Shui Mo rushed to participate in the post-production work of "The Vanishing Lover".

But Wei Jin knew very well that this play would not be nominated for an Oscar, so he randomly asked two employees he liked to help him out. This also attracted the envy of many people.

I was concentrating on editing and time passed quickly. Two days went by in a flash.

The turmoil surrounding Jindong's listing has gradually passed, but another piece of news from the outside world has shocked the industry.

After Guo Xiaosi, Han Han is the second writer to enter the film and television industry as a director - Wei Jin does not count, as he himself is a professional director.

The film "See You Tomorrow" directed by him was announced to be completed at noon today.

The filming started in early February and ended in early June, a total of four months, which is considered to be quite sincere.

At least, he didn't do what Guo Xiaosi did, who managed to shoot two films in three months.

But what surprised people in the industry was that the film had just finished shooting today, but Han Han and Bona hurriedly announced the release date, which is July 7th during the summer vacation.

There are less than fifty days left until the release. Could it be that they are planning to do publicity and post-production at the same time?

Is he eager to make money? Or is he deliberately making trouble for Guo Xiaosi?
Because "Tiny Times 3" will be released on July 7, the release date of "See You Tomorrow" is only one week apart.

At this moment, the Internet is extremely lively. It is said that the only two non-professional directors in the circle who switched from writers are about to start a head-on battle.

However, before the two films even started to fight each other, the war between their fans had already begun.

Fans of Han Han said: Guo Xiaosi's "Tiny Times" is rubbish, brainless, distorted values, and induces teenagers to become corrupt and degenerate.
Guo Xiaosi's fans were not to be outdone and mocked Han Han for being hypocritical and pretentious.

In their words: You are aloof, you are great, why do you come here to make a movie?
The number of fans of both sides is similar, and the battle is going on. Neutral netizens are also unwilling to be left out, and launched a vote: [Who is the real film director, Guo Jingming or Han Han].

You know what, as soon as the vote was released, it instantly became a hot topic on Weibo.

For a time, the popularity of "Tiny Times 3" and "See You Tomorrow" suddenly skyrocketed!
In the afternoon, Jiang Xuemeng came over with an excited look on her face.

"Boss Wei, the negotiations between 'Day and Night' and Tudou have concluded. The price per episode is 500 million."

Hearing this, Wei Jin was surprised: "Oh? How can it be so high?"

Although "Day and Night" was produced according to the standards of a TV series, the overall production cost did not exceed 40 million.

Considering the volume of this series of 36 episodes, Tudou paid 1.8 million yuan to obtain the exclusive broadcasting rights, which is indeed a bit exaggerated.

You know, the reason why Shanhe Media’s previous TV series were so expensive was that they were acquired by several TV stations working together.

Moreover, TV stations have much more monetization channels than video websites.

"Boss Wei, mainly the recent Sword Net Operation"

Listening to Jiang Xueman's explanation, Wei Jin's face showed a look of realization.

Although the "Sword Net Operation" jointly launched by the Copyright Bureau, the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Public Security has only been launched for a few days, it has already achieved initial results.

Not only did they wipe out a large number of pirated video websites, but they also arrested many people involved in the case.

There is no doubt that this means that the higher-ups are really serious about this.

Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that video websites are competing so fiercely for film and television copyrights.

"Very good, online dramas are about to usher in an era of explosive growth. Director Jiang, if the production team is busy, you can select a few more online drama scripts and start working on them."

"Okay, Mr. Wei, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

Jiang Xueman bowed and responded, then she remembered something, "By the way, President Wei, the filming of Nirvana in Fire will be finished in the next two days, and Hou Hongliang will hold a wrap-up banquet in Hengdian, President Wei, do you want to attend?"

After hearing this, Wei Jin suddenly realized that this play had actually been filmed for four months.

But after pondering for a while, Wei Jin shook his head and said, "Forget it, you go on behalf of the company."

"it is good."

Jiang Xueman nodded in agreement, and at this time Wei Jin remembered something else.

"By the way, Director Jiang, how is the filming of The Journey of Flower going? Is the crew also in Hengdian now?"

This drama started filming a week after "You Are the One" was released. Wei Jin was busy filming at the time and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Yes, it's in Hengdian. The current filming is going pretty smoothly. According to the filming plan, it will be finished around September."

"it is good."

Filming started in early May and was wrapped up in September. Four or five months is not a short time, but that's how large-scale costume dramas work, and Wei Jin can understand that.

At this time, Jiang Xuemeng smiled and added: "It just so happens that I can visit the crew when I go there this time."

"Okay, then you can arrange it yourself."

"Okay, Mr. Wei, I'll get busy now."

"it is good."
