During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 688: Entering a Rich Family is Like Entering a Deep Sea
After a night of romance, the summer movie market is about to begin again.

"Tiny Times 3" finally had its official release amid the overwhelming cheers of fans.

Despite the poor reputation, the box office of the first two films does not seem to be fake, and theater operators are generally optimistic about them.

The screening schedules of "Transformers 4" and "The Greatest Breakup" - two movies that have come to an end - have been cut significantly, and all of them have been given to "Tiny Times 3".

And the movie "Oldboy" not only failed to reap the benefits, but was also weakened. It can only be said that the distributor was really not strong enough.

At the same time, after the premiere of "Cold War 2", the crew members also began their intensive roadshow, looking forward to the release the next day.

However, neither the release of "Tiny Times 3" nor the premiere of "Cold War 2" last night made headlines today.

Because of the media reports, all of them were about a sudden wedding - Zhou Xun, one of the four Dan and two Bing, was really getting married!
Miss Zhou’s wedding was very interesting, because she was originally going to attend a charity concert in Hangzhou, but who knew she would go for something so grand?
At the end of the concert, Miss Zhou actually changed into her wedding dress, went on stage with her boyfriend, and announced that they were getting married on the spot!

Countless media were all confused, because except for a very small number of friends who were informed in advance, the vast majority of people were not mentally prepared at all.

Such a wedding can be described as very personal, and it is indeed Zhou Xun's style.

However, on the second day of the wedding, Mr. Zhou still invited celebrity friends and even some loyal celebrity fans to attend the wedding banquet at the Huanglong Hotel in Hangzhou.

However, this banquet was not open to the public.

“.Thank you very much for making this special trip, especially Lao Wei and Yuan Yuan, who flew all the way from Beijing.

And Kun Er, he also took a leave from the crew to come here, and brought my son with him. I won’t say anything more, it’s all in the wine, I toast to everyone.”

Mr. Zhou was very graceful and elegant. He wore a white wedding gown and stood on the stage. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, which was quite heroic.

"it is good."

Those present at the scene were either her relatives, close friends, or die-hard fans, and they all cheered very considerately.

Even Wei Jin, who was not optimistic about this marriage, raised his glass from a distance with a smile on his face and toasted.

However, Chen Kun quickly added from the audience, "That's my son, don't recognize him randomly."

This remark drew good-natured laughter from the audience, and everyone was very envious of the friendship between the two.

But it’s interesting to say that in general, weddings are centered around the groom, or the couple comes together.

It is quite rare for a situation like that of Miss Zhou, where she takes the lead throughout the wedding banquet while the groom follows behind like a little wife.

Of course, most people at the scene could understand it. Besides the fact that Ms. Zhou was famous, it was also because this was her home court.

Moreover, Gao Shengyuan's Chinese level is really poor, so it is better for him to speak less.

As the behind-the-scenes boss of Zhou Xun Studio and an acquaintance of many years, Wei Jin is naturally the guest of honor today.

He and Gao Yuanyuan were seated at the same table with Mr. Zhou and the groom's parents, and were the first people the two newlyweds would toast.

Recalling their acquaintance along the way, Wei Jin felt a little emotional. He drank several cups with Master Zhou and explained in passing why Zeng Li did not come.

Because summer vacation is coming, my father and uncle have come here, so someone has to stay at home to take care of us.

Gao Yuanyuan, on the other hand, raised her glass and joked, "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou. I wish you a long and happy life together, and may you have a son soon. It would be best if you had a daughter for Xu'er to marry, haha."

"Okay, Yuanyuan, please let your sister go. This is the first time. It's not enough for your son, haha."

Master Zhou gave Gao Yuanyuan a displeased look, and Wei Jin on the side was also a little embarrassed.

Nowadays, the existence of Wei Xu and Dudu is no longer a secret within the small circle.

But compared to Zeng Li's strict teaching of her daughter, Gao Yuanyuan likes to find wives for her son everywhere, and has already decided on several of them just for fun.

As far as Wei Jin knew, Gao Yuanyuan did not let go of any of them, including the daughter of Zeng Li's best friend Yuan Quan and Xia Yu, as well as Mei Ting's daughter, as long as the age difference was no more than three years.

If Jia Jingwen's daughter wasn't so old, seven or eight years younger than Wei Xu, it's possible that Sister Yuanyuan would have taken action as well.

It's true that the father is too strict and the son can do whatever he wants.

However, Zhou Xun thought very clearly. Regardless of whether she had a child or not, and whether it was a boy or a girl, she had no intention of marrying into the Wei family, even though Dudu was really likable.

Because once you enter a wealthy family, it’s like entering a deep sea!

Even though the current Wei family has a shallow foundation, in the eyes of many people, it is definitely considered a wealthy family!
"Directed by Guo Jingming and starring Yang Mi, Guo Caijie, Ke Zhendong and Guo Biting, the third film in the Tiny Times series, Tiny Times 3, grossed 1.13 million yuan on its first day, far exceeding the first and second films' box office performance on the first day."

"Tiny Times 3" has set a new single-day box office record for 47.33D domestic films with a screening rate of 2%!"

I have to say, fan movies are scary enough.

Even though people were mentally prepared, the industry was still shocked by the first-day performance of "Tiny Times 3".

You should know that among domestic films, the only one that has grossed over 100 million yuan in a single day on a weekday is "Gravity"!
How could a bad movie like "Tiny Times" achieve such a high score? !

"Mi Mi, congratulations! The Breakup Master just broke 6 million, and Tiny Times 3 broke million in a single day. You are so popular this summer."

Macau, the crew of "Seattle 2".

During the lunch break, Haiqing browsed the news online and expressed his congratulations, with even a hint of envy in his tone.

Although she has been in the industry for many years, she has yet to produce a box office hit. Even in "Seattle", her presence seemed to be just a cameo.

However, facing the congratulations from his predecessors at the Beijing Film Academy, Yang Mi's expression was very complicated, even filled with a bit of unspeakable annoyance.

At this moment, her mind couldn't help but think of the reputation issue that Wei Jin had told her about two years ago.

Admittedly, the box office of the "Tiny Times" series and "The Breakup Master" were pretty good.

But for her, apart from earning high pay and exposure, it is basically meaningless and even has significant side effects.

The most obvious example is that she has become the top female star in the domestic entertainment industry, and is only one step away from the four Dan and Shuang Bing and the four Jin girls, but she has not been approached by any high-end brand endorsement. Yang Mi, who has been in the industry for many years, knows the reason very well - the public evaluation is too bad!
Just like Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing and others, although they have also participated in many works with bad reputations, they are not super bad movies after all, let alone being labeled as the "Queen of Bad Movies".

But how many years has Yang Mi been involved in the film industry? She has already starred in seven or eight generally recognized bad films, including "The Feast of Hongmen", "The Great Wudang", "The Palace of the Bronze Bird", "Tiny Times" trilogy, and "The Breakup Master"!

If it weren't for the two masterpieces "Love is Not Blind" and "Seattle", which were both great in both word-of-mouth and box office, Yang Mi felt that it would be difficult for him to get any good resources.

So after this year's "Golden Broom Award", Yang Mi has clearly realized that he can no longer continue to damage his reputation in this way, and he must make changes.

Because film pay is actually only a part of a star's income, and although maintaining a good reputation will deny some resources, they can make up for it from other places.

This is also one of the reasons why she is too lazy to attend events in the "Tiny Times" series. She has to cut off as much as possible!

Yang Mi even has a premonition that even though "Tiny Times 3" has such a good box office performance now, with its poor reputation, its true colors will be exposed in a few days!
Compared to Yang Mi's sobriety, Guo Xiaosi's fans are simply crazy, having fun online and even making bold statements:

The box office of "Tiny Times 3" will exceed 10 billion!
Even if he fails, Guo Jingming's personal box office performance in his directorial career will definitely exceed 10 billion, far exceeding most domestic directors.

From now on, no one will be qualified to judge the performance of the "Tiny Times" series of films!

There were even radical fans who shouted the slogan "Get through the summer season"!

Including Ali, they also came out to join in the fun, once again promoting the power of "popular IP + fan movie + celebrity director + big data".

You know what, combined with the violent performance of "Tiny Times 3", it is really convincing.

Unfortunately, the slap in the face came quickly.

After just one day, the daily revenue of "Tiny Times 3" showed an avalanche trend, directly halved from 1.1 million to 6482 million, a drop of more than %!

The reason for this is, of course, the natural "curse" and "fate" of fan movies. The first-day box office often represents the peak daily revenue, and then it will fall all the way.

This fact cannot be saved even if the producers hype on the Internet that the movie theme song is sung by the "top superstar" Wu Yifan!

Another reason, of course, is the diversion caused by the release of "Cold War 2".

Thanks to the good reputation of its predecessor and the support of a luxurious cast, "Cold War 2" earned 6933 million on its first day of release, directly taking over the single-day box office champion from "Tiny Times 3"!
More importantly, compared to the score of "Tiny Times 3" which is about to fall below 5 points on Impression.com, "Cold War 2" has an extremely impressive reputation, and its current score on Impression.com is as high as 7.6 points.

This is extremely rare for a pure Hong Kong film.

This means that the film has enough staying power and will most likely last through its one-month theatrical period.

But sometimes we have to admit that brainless fans really make people speechless. Guo Xiaosi’s fans are still bragging and even shouting online:

"I'll show you the box office appeal of Tiny Times on the weekend!"

To be honest, Wei Jin felt funny but also a little curious: How did Guo Xiaosi manage his fan club? How come his fans are so loyal?

If he wasn't a director but an agent, he might be able to make a lot of money.

After leaving the company, Wei Jin came to Liu Yan. The due date was getting closer and closer, and her body was becoming heavier and heavier.

Plus, Wang Zixuan is recording "Running Man" these days, so Wei Jin has to come over to see her to feel at ease.

However, what makes Wei Jin feel a little distressed is that Liu Yan is always so sensible, as if she only has him in her heart.

Sometimes she was worried about affecting Wei Jin's work, and sometimes she was worried that he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

"What kind of job can I have? Being with you is the most important thing right now."

Wei Jin carefully moved his head away from Liu Yan's bulging belly, raised his head and said seriously.

"Isn't The Fault in Our Stars coming out soon? I see Yifei and Shu Chang are on variety shows, don't you want to go with them?"

"They are enough, I don't need to get involved"

Wei Jin's words were by no means a comfort. Although he was the leading male actor, as an art film, he really didn't need to spend any effort on promotion.

He will not participate in any subsequent roadshows. The exposure at the Tokyo Film Festival and the fact that he directed and acted in the film himself are enough gimmicks.

"Don't let your imagination run wild all day and take good care of yourself, okay?" Wei Jin pinched Liu Yan's slightly plump face and said gently.

"Well, I will."

Liu Yan stroked her belly and leaned on Wei Jin's shoulder with a happy look on her face. The latter also wrapped his arms around her plump waist, enjoying this rare peace.

After a long while, Wei Jin thought of something, "Little White Tiger, after the baby is born, how about you take the position of deputy director in the variety show department and move behind the scenes in the future?"

Liu Yan's screen image has always been sexy, but after becoming a mother, Wei Jin didn't want her to continue to show up in public.

Of course, the final decision still lies with Liu Yan herself, and Wei Jin respects her choice.

As expected, despite her unrestrained appearance, Liu Yan is very traditional at heart. When she heard Wei Jin's suggestion, she nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, boss, I'll listen to you."

At night, Liu Yan finally called her good sisters from the Assistant Corps - Huang Mengying and Bai Bin to come and sleep with her.

Coincidentally, the two girls had just returned to Beijing not long ago, and Huang Mengying had just returned from her hometown in Shu.

Since the filming of "Nirvana in Fire" was completed, she went home to visit her family and has been resting for more than a month.

Bai Bin just returned from the crew of "Joy of Life 2" and has already joined the promotion team of "The Four 3".

At this moment, Bai Bin felt very fortunate that the current promotion was in Beijing, otherwise he would have missed the big dinner tonight.

Because she hasn't eaten meat for more than half a year since they met at the end of last year, and she really missed it.

On the contrary, Huang Mengying was not that greedy, because she had already had sex once in the office when she came back from the wrapping of "Nirvana in Fire".
