During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 682: The Year of Legal System in the Entertainment Industry Begins: Wen Yongshan's New Look

Overnight, there were many reports about "The Breakup Master", and Deng Chao's enchanting performance did attract great attention.

But unfortunately, the popularity came and went quickly. By noon, it was already top of the hot searches due to other news.

"Produced and directed by the famous director Xu Jinglei, with Ali Pictures participating in the investment, starring Wu Yifan, Xu Jinglei, Wang Likun, Re Yizha and others. The love movie "There is a Place Only We Know" started shooting in Beijing today."

To be honest, it's just the start of shooting of a movie, it won't cause much fuss, after all, movies start shooting almost every day in the industry.

Besides, Xu Cairen’s battle record is not that outstanding.

But the people in the Beijing circle were like crazy and were making a lot of fanfare to promote Xu Cairen.

On Weibo, many big names reposted the post to show their support and anticipation, and even praised the newcomer Wu Yifan, who was favored by Xu Cairen.

"Ahri is really quick, and has hooked up with the Beijing circle again."

While having lunch in the cafeteria at noon, Wei Jin met Zhong Lifang who had just returned from China Film Group, and the latter was quite emotional.

Because just a few days ago during the Shanghai Film Festival, Ali had already reached a cooperation agreement with the Sunglasses King.

The short story collection "Passing By Your World" which is very popular on the Internet is likely to be adapted into a movie in the form of a unit drama.

Although the film will not be directed by King of Sunglasses himself, he will serve as the producer and does not rule out inviting the original author to participate in the directing.

This is also an attempt by Ali to follow the "popular IP + fan movie + celebrity director" routine, and many people in the circle are optimistic about it.

Now, Ali has connected with the Beijing circle again, and it is possible that it will be involved in the works of other companies in the future.

The movies produced here are one after another.

"It's useless. It looks gorgeous, but the market will give the answer. This set of Ali is like a rabbit's tail - it won't last long."

Wei Jin gave a direct evaluation. Don't be fooled by how happily Ahri dances. Now she is participating in some second-rate projects. At most, she can collect IQ tax from fans. She is not a threat.

What's more, Boss Wei is narrow-minded and has already made a note of this in Ali Pictures' little notebook. We will have to chase after him when the time comes. It is still unclear whether these two dramas can reap the benefits of fans.

"By the way, how was the talk with Zhou Xingxing?"

Zhong Lifang went to China Film today to sign the contract on behalf of Shanhe Media, but Wei Jin also explained a few additional things.

"Well, it went pretty smoothly. The three domestic publicity and distribution companies worked together, and the Southeast Asian distribution was handed over to Golden Harvest. China Film and Shanghai Film had no objections."

At this point, Zhong Lifang paused, "But Mr. Wei, Zhou Xingxing is very determined to get the role. According to his plan, there will be a three-month audition for the heroine. So if Nazar wants to get the role, she has to participate in the audition."

Hearing this, Wei Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was not too surprised.

Zhou Xingxing has a strong desire for control, and this time he has also brought in China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group, which has greatly enhanced his voice. Refusal is the norm.

Moreover, auditioning for the leading female role is indeed of great benefit to the promotion of the film.

After all, the most famous girls in the circle are Mou girls, Star girls and Dragon girls.

Every time a "Star Girl" appears, it will cause huge discussion and attention from the outside world.

In order to reduce the risk, China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group will probably have to stand on his side.

"Okay, then notify Nazar to participate in the audition. He should have got the script, right?"

Hearing this, Zhong Lifang smiled and said, "Boss Wei, everyone says that Zhou Xingxing has low emotional intelligence, but after meeting him this time, I don't think he is that bad. Not only the script, he also specially gave me a character profile of the heroine that he made."

"Well, let Nazar prepare well then."

If Wei Jin can't get a role in this situation, there's nothing much to say. He can just find a way to make it up to the girl later.

"Ok."

Fiber Optic was really cunning. It was agreed that "The Breakup Guru" would be released on the 27th, but it was released in theaters at 26:18 on the evening of the th.

The purpose is very clear. An extra six hours of first-day results will at least make the publicity look better.

This trick was used in "Mei Lanfang" and "Legend of the White Snake" and is not new.

But compared to the fact that these two dramas were ridiculed by the industry, the approach of "The Breakup Guru" has been understood.

There’s no way, the Transformers series is just too awesome.

Even without mentioning the performance in the global market, the Autobots are also killing it in China!

第一部在07年便斩获3.15亿票房；第二部在09年狂收票房4.48亿；第三部在11年豪取票房11.13亿！
With such a terrifying foundation, the box office of "Transformers 4" is likely to reach skyrocketing levels, so it is not too careful for Fiber Optics to be too cautious.

However, just when "The Breakup Guru" was just being screened, a piece of news from [Ping An-kyung] attracted great attention in the circle.

"According to reports from the public, a famous domestic director XXX and a well-known screenwriter and writer XXX were caught by the public security authorities for taking contraband. After interrogation, the two confessed to their illegal acts."

As soon as the news came out, the Internet was in an uproar.

You know, these two people are not unknown little people.

I never thought that these two people would dare to commit crimes on the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. They are simply seeking death!
However, unlike the previous arrest of Liu Zi, where many celebrities in the circle pleaded for mercy, the entertainment industry was silent.

That is, Yan Ni, Sha Yi, Yao Dazui and others posted on Weibo to express their regret and condemnation.

"There's nothing to sympathize with when someone touches something like this."

Wei Jin was browsing the news online and muttering a few words.

In his opinion, since he has done something wrong, he must bear the corresponding consequences. If he is forgiven so easily, who will comfort those heroes who lost their lives in drug prohibition?

Then, Wei Jin patted Wen Yongshan who was working and said, "Don't touch these things when you are in Hong Kong, otherwise I can't save you."

In order to maintain his relationship with Wei Jin, Boss Yang spared no effort in promoting Wen Yongshan. In May, she finished filming "Wushuang" and seamlessly joined this big production in cooperation with Media Asia, which is said to have invested 5 million yuan and is comparable to the "Cold War" series.

As a fan of the God of Songs in his previous life, Wei Jin had of course watched this drama. The plot was unremarkable, but Wen Yongshan's look in the drama was quite eye-catching.

However, Wen Yongshan was also very understanding. This time, she rushed to Beijing to take advantage of the wrap-up of the filming and actually wore the sexy gauze dress and horse-faced skirt in the play.

"Don't worry, Wei Sheng. I never touch that stuff."

It took Wen Yongshan a while to realize what Wei Jin was talking about, and she nodded obediently.

After being together for so many years, she knew Wei Jin's preferences very well and would never do anything that would displease him.

"Ah."

Wei Jin nodded without saying anything more. He waited for a while before speaking:

"After the promotion of Cold War 2 is over, save your time to be a guest on the second season of Sisters Over Flowers."

Although Wen Yongshan is not a post-90s generation, she does not meet the program requirements when Yang Rong and Wan Qian are already there.

I can’t say that this variety show will make her famous, but it will definitely greatly increase her popularity in the mainland, making it easier for her to enter the mainland market in the future.

Wen Yongshan obviously understood this truth and could only express her "deep" gratitude through actions.

As a result, the preparations before filming went exceptionally smoothly, and Director Wei had to start today's shooting task ahead of schedule.

0000
I have to say that this operation of optical fiber is really useful.

On the first day of its release, "The Breakup Guru" grossed 3960 million yuan at the box office, but with the six hours of advance screenings, the box office total reached 6 million yuan.

To be honest, for a comedy film, this result is already quite good. In other times, it can even be considered a high box office hit!
Unfortunately, compared with the performance of "Transformers 4", it is really insignificant, and can even be described as barely lingering on. The gap is really too big!

"On the first day of its release, the Hollywood imported science fiction blockbuster "Transformers 4" grossed an astonishing box office of 64 million with a super-high screening rate of 1.83%!"

""Transformers 4" has broken and refreshed the first-day box office record and single-day box office record in the mainland film market within one day of its release! It is targeting the highest box office record in the mainland film market!"

It’s only the first day of its release, and “Transformers 4” has already let the entire domestic film production industry know what a blockbuster is!
Not only were domestic films trembling, but even "Godzilla" and "Maleficent," two other Hollywood imported blockbusters, were also defeated.

The former had been released for two weeks and its box office had already exceeded 6 million, but faced with the strength of "Transformers 4", its single-day box office was halved to less than million.

The latter also performed very well thanks to the appeal of Angelina Jolie, and earned 2.03 million at the box office in one week.

But with the release of "Transformers 4", the daily revenue was suppressed to below million.

It can be said that the entire film market was in mourning.

"Brother, I'm afraid your box office record of Gravity is going to be broken. I don't know how many people in the industry are waiting to see you make a fool of yourself, haha."

Even through the phone, Wei Jin could hear the bad taste in Fiber Optic Wang's teasing.

"It's okay if it's broken, it's not a big deal. I hope its box office performance is as high as possible, and then Operation Mekong can take it back, wouldn't it be even more impressive?"

Wei Jin was pretending to be so arrogant, but he was telling the truth.

Nowadays, winning awards is no longer interesting, and only box office records can bring him a sense of accomplishment.

"Oh? Bro, so confident?"

"Hehe, I'm so confident."

Wei Jin clearly remembered that this year was the year of law in the entertainment industry. What happened two days ago was not an isolated case. Many well-known drug addicts had to go to jail, which naturally created momentum for "Operation Mekong".

What's more, with official endorsement and an extremely long extension, Wei Jin believes that this wave will at least take a step forward again!
"That's great, bro, I'm just waiting to take off, hahahaha."

"Okay, Brother Wang, I've laughed enough, but I still have to say that Deng Chao's movie is really a bit bad."

Wei Jin said this very directly. It was only the first day of the release of "Breakup Guru", and the Impression.com rating had already dropped to 6.1 points.

Among these, it is not known how much optical fiber was brushed.

"I know, but this is his first time as a director after all, you have to understand. Besides, judging by the current situation, he will definitely make money, so why worry about it?"

"."

What Lao Wang said was very true, and Wei Jin had no way to refute it, but he had already made up his mind that if there were any more such bad money-making movies in the future, he would leave them to Meitao Entertainment or Mixing Entertainment.

The reputation that Shanhe Media has built over the years must be maintained!

As the weekend approached, Wei Jin took himself a day off and stayed in his villa in Yanjiao.

Spending time with my two children during the day and enjoying the tenderness of my two older sisters at night, life is quite comfortable.

In contrast, the film market is in dire straits.

Following the feedback from the first day's box office data, the theater chain once again raised the screening rate of "Transformers 4" to nearly 70%.

As "The Breakup Master" was the only surviving domestic film, the theaters also withstood the pressure and maintained its screening schedule.

But the rest of the movies were not so lucky. They were basically abandoned by theaters and became cannon fodder!
With the support of super high screenings, word of mouth, high ticket prices and weekends, the potential of "Transformers 4" is further released.

When the box office data was compiled on Monday, the entire industry was in an uproar!
"'The Breakup Master' grossed 4910 million on Saturday and 4870 million on Sunday, bringing in 1.48 million in the first three days of the weekend."

“继首日报收1.83亿后，进口大片《变形金刚4》再次刷新单日票房纪录，第二天和第三天分别斩获2.25亿、2.18亿票房，首周末3天票房总计6.26亿！”

The entire mainland film production industry and countless companies in the industry were all stunned and could not believe this box office data!
Even though the domestic box office data has been pulled up to over 18 billion by "Gravity", the performance of "Transformers 4" is really too terrifying.

Many movies that were scheduled to be released in July have already begun to back off and are considering whether to adjust their release dates.

However, at this moment, a piece of film and television information suddenly appeared on the headlines, forcibly attracting the attention of the entire film industry.
