During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 677: Legal Lolita: A Short Separation Is Better Than a New Marriage

"Boss Wei, let me introduce you to Tangren's newly signed artist, Chen Yao."

In Hu Ge's Japanese restaurant, Wei Jin listened to Miss Cai's words, and the sentence instantly emerged in his mind - "Zhang Xianzong, my tooth hurts~~".

It was also at this time that Wei Jin realized that the familiar figure he saw at the Beijing Film Academy last time was really her.

"Hello, Teacher Wei. I am Chen Yao from the acting department, Grade 13."

Chen Yao, kneeling on the tatami, had a soft and tender voice, like a kitten, which was in line with the mentality of a newbie who had just met a big shot in the industry.

But when she stood up, Wei Jin realized that the girl was wearing high-heeled shoes, and standing there, she was definitely over 1.7 meters tall.

Combined with that childish loli face, the contrast is quite big.

"Oh, Hello."

Wei Jin came back to his senses and shook hands with Hefa Loli. In Miss Cai's eyes, this scene was like "the fish has taken the bait."

"Boss Wei, what do you think of Yaoyao?"

"Well, it's pretty good, has its own characteristics, and will become popular."

Wei Jin's words were just politeness. Chen Yao's external conditions were not particularly good, and with the current declining situation of Tang Ren, it was difficult to provide this girl with many resources.

But these words made Miss Cai extremely happy. "That's good. I feel relieved with what Mr. Wei said. You are famous for your good vision."

Miss Cai's flattery made Wei Jin feel a little uncomfortable. He knew what she was up to, but he didn't respond to her and turned to chat with Hu Ge, Jin Chen and others.

Hu Ge has been busy promoting "Life Revelation" since the filming of "Nirvana in Fire" was completed. Today he also specially arranged time to entertain Wei Jin.

He and Yan Ni collaborated on this drama, which was broadcast on Anhui Satellite TV, Jiangsu Satellite TV and Shanghai Satellite TV at the end of last month.

The ratings have been soaring since its premiere, topping the ratings charts for more than half a month and receiving rave reviews.

On the other hand, Jin Chen's anti-Japanese war drama "Snow Eagle" filmed last year also premiered last month, but the ratings were so low that even the online copyright was almost unsaleable.

If it weren't for the second season of "Flowers and Youth" at the beginning of the year that helped her regain some popularity, I'm afraid no one would recognize her when she went out.

However, perhaps because of the lessons learned from Lin Gengxin and Rouba, Miss Cai's style of doing things has changed. She no longer does the boring thing of "only hearing the laughter of new people but not seeing the tears of old people".

She plans to start working on the script she had prepared earlier - "The Wind and Cloud Eleven".

They were planning to pair Hu Ge and Jin Chen together, and specially invited Sun Li, the ancient queen of sugar men, to make a guest appearance, just to promote Jin Chen and support newcomer Chen Yao.

Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Chen Yao was deceived into joining Tangren?
To be honest, this script is not very good and it really does a disservice to Hu Ge's identity.

But as for the Sugar Man, there are only two or three cats and kittens now. What else can we do except rely on Hu Ge to take care of them?

As for Liu Shishi, Ms. Cai was a little at a loss. She didn't want to give up her popularity, but she couldn't come up with a script suitable for her.

So this time I made an appointment with Wei Jin to see if I could get a ride with him again.

"Brother, if you can, please help Sister K. She is having a really hard time right now. She even has white hair."

At this time, Liu Shishi came close to Wei Jin and said a few words. She still had feelings for Tang Ren and Miss Cai.

"Um"

After Wei Jin pondered for a while, he had an answer. "Last month, for the Wenhua Award, the company collected a number of scripts. Among them, there is a costume drama with a strong female lead, which is quite suitable for Shishi. If Mr. Cai is interested, we might as well work together."

The first Wenhua Award came to an end during the filming of Wei Jin.

As the financial backer behind the award, Shanhe Media spent 60 million yuan to honor outstanding screenwriters, and the condition was that the winner's script belonged to the company.

This is actually a supplement to the company's copyright library. After all, China has a large population base and there are so many grassroots literary and artistic workers. After all, talented people will eventually stand out among the competition.

Including some well-known screenwriters, they are actually very happy to cooperate with Shanhe Media, because the latter's reputation is obvious to all in the circle.

The script that Wei Jin was talking about was "The Imperial Doctress" written by Zhang Wei, a well-known screenwriter and professor of the Department of Literature at Beijing Film Academy.

This screenwriter is very famous in the circle and has participated in the adaptation and creation of many film and television companies' works, many of which are familiar to the audience.

Such as "A Beautiful Woman", "Du Lala's Promotion", "A Little Farewell", "The Legend of Lu Zhen", "The Legend of Ban Shu" and so on.

Even the "Dream of Splendor" that made Liu Yifei popular again in her previous life, and Liu Shishi's "A Thought at the Crossing", etc., were all from her hand, mainly featuring Mary Sue themes with strong female protagonists.

However, although Zhang Wei is a fellow villager from Qin Province, he has lived in Beijing for many years and has been cooperating more with the Beijing circle. He did not have a deep relationship with Wei Jin before.

This time it was also because of the Wenhua Award. I admired Wei Jin's care for grassroots screenwriters, and with Xue Xiaolu's help, I accepted the olive branch thrown by Shanhe Media and decided to cooperate.

This "The Imperial Doctress" is the first collaboration between the two parties. Wei Jin even heard that Xinli was a little unhappy because they also took a fancy to this script.

But this play itself was the work of Liu Shishi in its previous life. Although Wei Jin couldn't write it after having only watched two episodes, he would not let other companies take charge of it.

It’s just that the evaluation of this drama within the company is not particularly high, so it is a good choice to jointly develop it with Tangren.

As expected, after listening to Wei Jin's explanation, Ms. Cai immediately expressed great interest, and even suggested that Hu Ge play one of the two male protagonists, and planned to include Chen Yao and Jin Chen into the crew as well.

Wei Jin had no objection to this. It was better to keep things in the family. They happened to be in the same company, and he could take care of Liu Shishi after she joined the team.

As for the release date, the preparation period for this type of costume film is not short, and by that time, "The Wind and Cloud Eleven" will almost be completed.

Jin Chen and Chen Yao, who had picked up a play for free, were so happy that they kept raising their glasses to Wei Jin and Liu Shishi during the following dinner.

Fortunately, this place drinks sake, otherwise Wei Jin would probably have had several people fall down tonight.

After the lively dinner, Wei Jin took Liu Shishi back to Tangcheng Yipin under Jin Chen's somewhat lost gaze.

It had been more than three months since they last saw each other, and the little girl was unusually enthusiastic. As soon as they entered the room, Liu Shishi couldn't wait to kiss her.

Feeling the girl's intention, Wei Jin stretched out one arm and put it around her waist, and the two of them suddenly stuck close together.

The two of them kissed all the way from the door to the window. Liu Shishi began to feel dissatisfied with the wet kiss and wanted more.

"Brother, want me~"

There was a hint of confusion in the little girl's beautiful eyes, and her intellectual face was like a blooming flower, full of temptation.

How could Wei and Jin remain indifferent to the invitation of the beauty?
His nimble hands flew up and down, and in a short while, the objects that were hindering their thoughts were scattered all over the ground.

"Master, you are so beautiful."

Wei Jin exclaimed from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, her fair and delicate body seemed to be covered with a mysterious halo under the moonlight. "Then brother, how long are you going to wait, huh?"

XXXXXXXX
000000000
CCCCCCCCC
The next morning, Wei Jin was woken up by a phone call.

As soon as the call was connected, I heard Lu Yang's voice coming from the receiver.

"Brother, you should at least come over to promote "No One 2". You are the producer."

"You just know how to disturb people's sleep. There are so many movies produced by the company. How can I take care of them all?"

Wei Jin came over and sat down on the sofa, cursing with a smile, but his voice was not loud as he did not want to disturb Liu Shishi.

After all, the little girl must be exhausted after three consecutive high-intensity scenes last night. Let her sleep a little longer.

"Brother, you went to steal a cow last night. It's almost ten o'clock now, and you're still dreaming? Poor me, a working man, my life is so hard." Lu Yang said in a resentful tone, mumbling on and on.

"Okay, okay, I'll find time to come over this afternoon, okay? I really admire you."

Wei Jin hung up the phone cursing, but he was no longer sleepy, so he picked up his phone to check the industry news.

Wow, just one night has passed and Ali’s IP+big data theory has become the keyword discussed in the entire industry, and even the official media is reporting on it.

No wonder, during this period, Ali was the undisputed leader of the domestic Internet, firmly suppressing competitors such as Penguin, and even its farts smelled good.

What's more, Lao Ma is now regarded as a god-like existence, so his theories are naturally highly sought after.

In just one night, many film and television companies had fallen and chose to surrender!
Of course, the words sound pretty nice - this is looking forward to in-depth cooperation with Ali Pictures and opening a new chapter in the film and television industry.

The Wei and Jin dynasties waited and watched.

After what happened last night, he has made up his mind to focus on Ali's project!

He wanted to see if Ahri could still create a miracle if he changed his home court!
In the afternoon, Wei Jin took Liu Shishi, who looked extremely beautiful after having "full food" and "full sleep", to the main venue of the film festival.

Today is only the second day of the film festival, and the area surrounding the main venue is lined with designated film promotion areas.

At a glance, there were all kinds of posters and billboards, as well as many celebrities and media reporters. It was a sea of ​​people and very lively.

Along the way, Wei Jin saw many familiar figures.

For example, Li Bingbing in "Transformers 4", Fan Bingbing in "The White-Haired Witch", and Zhou Xun in "The Best Fortune Comes from Being a Coquettish Woman".

Speaking of which, this Shanghai Film Festival is really interesting. Half of the four Dan and two Bing actresses are here, and even the chairman of the jury is a big star of the previous generation - Gong Li!
But sometimes we have to admit that the media is also very realistic.

Fan Bingbing's "Godzilla" was a huge hit, raking in 1.93 million yuan in box office revenue in two days, crushing a number of domestic films.

Even Zhang Yimou's "Coming Home" could not withstand the pressure.

On the first day of Godzilla's release, it was taken off the screen and the final box office was only 3.26 million yuan.

Fan Bingbing, who was once proud of herself, was so pleased with herself that she was definitely the most beautiful girl in the screening area today and was frequently interviewed by the media.

Li Bingbing's "Transformers 4", with the box office revenue of over 10 billion yuan from the previous film, is also the focus of media attention.

On the contrary, Zhou Xun, who has won three golden grand slams, has not achieved impressive box office results.

The recently released "Overheard 3" has been abandoned by theaters after just over half a month of release, and its box office has stopped at 3.2 million.

As a result, no one was optimistic about the play "The Best Luck Comes from Being a Coquettish Woman" and only a few media came to interview it.

However, Zhou Xun had a pretty good attitude. When Wei Jin and Liu Shishi came over, he even had the time to treat them to milk tea. It was obvious that he regarded promotion as an unimportant task.

But Wei Jin always felt that there was something inexplicable in the way Zhou Xun looked at him. He guessed that he was arguing something again?

"Why don't I see Brother Xiao Ming?"

Looking around, Wei Jin was a little confused because he didn't see anyone from "The White-Haired Witch" either.

"He's busy promoting the movie 'The Splendid Adventure of Jin Xiu Yuan'."

After hearing this, Wei Jin remembered that Huang Xiaoming himself had invested in this play, so shouldn't he pay more attention to it?

But sometimes, people just can't help but talk. Wei Jin had just stayed for a few minutes and was about to leave when Huang Xiaoming came over.

"Boss Wei, Shishi, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Brother Xiao Ming."

Liu Shishi greeted him obediently. In the crew of "The Legend of Yue Fei", Huang Xiaoming took good care of her.

Wei Jin, however, remembered the abuse he had suffered before and replied, "Hey, Brother Xiao Ming, I just saw you a few days ago."

"Ok?"

Huang Xiaoming’s head was full of question marks. Is his memory so bad?
At this time, Wei Jin continued to add: "Your movie "Youth Waves" is quite good."

"Pfft~~"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Xun and Liu Shishi couldn't help laughing.

Because the film has only been released for eight days and the box office has less than four million, the current screening rate has dropped to 1%, and it is obviously not far from being taken off the screen.

What Wei Jin said was so hurtful!

"Hey, Mr. Wei, don't mention it. More than three years ago, I agreed to guest-star in this movie for the Huadu Asian Games."

Huang Xiaoming had a bitter face and complained: "I thought I was just a temporary worker to help for two days, but I ended up becoming the lead actor for no apparent reason. My face took up half of the poster for a ten-minute scene."

Wei Jin and the others were amused by what they heard, but sometimes the entertainment industry’s tricks are just so complicated.

Huang Xiaoming's situation is the same as that of King Liu.

Because he was too good at dealing with people and didn't know how to say no, or because of various personal relationships, he made guest appearances in a lot of bad movies, which had a great impact on his reputation.

"so"

Wei Jin was just about to say something when the phone in his pocket began to vibrate. He gestured to Huang Xiaoming and took out his phone.

Just looking at the caller ID, Wei Jin raised his eyebrows. It was him?
