During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 694 Do Mermaids Have Throats?
The next morning, a ray of sunlight passed through the floor-to-ceiling glass of Xishan Villa, reflected in the huge bedroom, and awakened Wei Jin.

Feeling the weight on his arm, Wei Jin turned his head to look at the girl beside him, only to see the sleeping Liu Yifei with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she had experienced something good in her dream, or as if last night's happiness was still continuing.

Looking up slightly, Wei Jin saw the somewhat torn black silk and translucent gauze apron on the ground, and couldn't help but smile.

To be honest, although the goddess belongs to the "pure" type, it is really crazy when she occasionally goes for the sexy and charming style.

Last night's birthday party lasted for two or three hours on and off. The little girl sang until her voice was almost hoarse, but Boss Wei just loved to listen and kept singing.

Especially in places with special blessings such as kitchens and restaurants, Wei and Jin released their primitive savagery and were extremely brutal.

If Wei Jin hadn't been concerned about the girl's physical condition, he could have partyed all night.

But there is an old saying: There are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no land that is damaged by plowing.

Just one night passed, and Liu Yifei's already stunningly beautiful face seemed to be infused with vitality.

The fair skin adds a touch of beauty and seems as delicate as a baby's.

Without disturbing the sleeping girl, Wei Jin gently withdrew his arm that had been pressed down all night and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table.

As expected, there have been many messages of congratulations from colleagues in the circle, including the little girl Jing Tian.

But no matter how you look at it, Fuguihua's tone seems a little sad.

While thinking about the subsequent appeasement plan, Wei Jin also paid attention to the reputation of "Star Luck".

Looking at the 8.2 rating on Impression.com, Wei Jin nodded with satisfaction.

Although it is not particularly outstanding compared to the several art films he directed before, it is already very good for an art romance film and there is no need to be too demanding.

At least according to the current situation, there will be no problem in completing the one-month release period.

As expected, the first-day performance was also reflected in the theaters' screening rate, with "Star Luck" already accounting for 30% of the screenings today.

It seems that the movie box office will usher in another climax after the weekend.

Maybe she was really too tired last night. Liu Yifei slept until noon before she opened her eyes in a daze.

"elder brother?"

Liu Yifei reached out her hand and touched nothing, but she was not disappointed.

After being together for so many years, she has long been familiar with her man's living habits. He always gets up early every day to exercise - either on himself or in the gym.

In addition, he has to deal with a lot of work at home and abroad. God knows why this man is so energetic!
However, it is precisely because of this inhuman physique that Liu Yifei silently accepts many facts that shock her worldview.

"Gugu~~"

Liu Yifei, who had originally planned to stay in bed for another five minutes, got up reluctantly to wash after hearing the protest from her stomach.

When she came to the living room, she saw several dishes already on the table. Liu Yifei touched her flat belly under her pajamas and swallowed involuntarily.

Before she had the chance to sit down, she saw Wei Jin wearing an apron and holding dishes, walking out of the kitchen.

"Yifei, are you awake? Come and eat, it's already 12:."

"Ah? I slept for so long? No wonder I'm so hungry. Mmm, it smells so good."

Looking at the little girl coming over and fanning her hands, smelling the scent with an intoxicated expression, like a little greedy cat, Wei Jin's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Okay, sit down and eat."

Liu Yifei was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. She didn't care about etiquette. She sat down, picked up her chopsticks and started eating right away.

"Hmm~~Brother, your cooking skills are really good, it's delicious~~"

The way the little girl ate the food and gave thumbs-up comments made Wei Jin laugh, but his appetite seemed to be aroused as well, and he joined in the feasting.

In less than ten minutes, the two of them devoured all the food on the table like a whirlwind.

The little girl proudly wanted to wash the dishes, as if she was willing to take on the heavy responsibility of married life.

Wei Jin had no objection to this. He sat on the sofa in the living room and paid attention to the news in the industry.

Unexpectedly, he actually saw something really fun.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny", which was announced more than a week ago, officially started filming today.

But what Wei Jin didn't expect was that, according to previous news, this film was exclusively produced by Harvey's Weinstein Films.

But at today's launch conference, the shadow of a vice president of China Film Group appeared.

Judging from media reports, China Film Group is obviously very optimistic about this movie. It actually bought a considerable investment share from Weinstein Films at a premium and became one of the only two producers.

And this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny" naturally became a Sino-US co-production!

"La Dong, La Dong, why did you jump into such a big pit?"

Wei Jin admitted that the previous work was indeed good, but the production team of this sequel has changed by 99% chance. Can they be compared?
Not to mention the cast, can Yuan Heping be compared with Li An? Is he comparing his head?
The price is still too high. I really don't know what La Peikang is thinking. Is the position of Chairman of China Film Group really poisonous? !

At this time, Wei Jin thought of Ren Zhonglun.

I have to say that sometimes it is a blessing that Shanghai Film Group cannot compete with China Film Group.

"I just hope that Mr. La will be stronger by then."

As Wei Jin expected, with the increase in theaters’ screenings and the support of last weekend, "Star Luck" hit a new box office record!
It closed at 5688 million on Saturday and 5242 million on Sunday!
As an art film, "Star Luck" raked in 1.54 million yuan in box office in the first three days of its weekend!
This data far exceeds the 1.03 million yuan in the first week of "Coming Home", and even firmly suppresses its competitor "The White-Haired Witch" in the same period.

Although "The White-Haired Witch" was released a day earlier, it was squeezed by the screening schedule and the box office was only 1.48 million in the first four days of the weekend.

People in the circle are joking that if Fatty Yu had changed his release date, he could have made at least an extra 300 to 500 million at the box office.

But he had to be so stubborn and confront Wei Jin head-on. Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Fan Bingbing also agreed with this and had no idea what the producer was thinking.

Of course, "The White-Haired Witch" is actually still pretty good, at least the daily revenue can remain stable at around 40 million. The worst one is "Dragon Nest".

Despite its high reputation and ratings, after four days of its first weekend, the box office of "Dragon Nest" was less than 30 million, and the daily revenue had fallen below 5 million.

No matter how the investors promote it, they just can’t attract any audience, huge losses are inevitable!

This situation has caused many animation production companies in the industry to wail once again - the future of domestic animated films is really too difficult.

However, no matter what the results are, the successive releases of several films such as "Dragon Nest", "The White-Haired Witch", and "Star Luck" have also caused the theaters' screening schedules to continue to disperse.

Several films released previously were inevitably affected.

The first to be affected is "See You Tomorrow".

As a fan movie, the reputation of this movie is actually quite good, but there are too many competitors.

At the end of the new week, the box office of "See You Tomorrow" shrank significantly, closing at only 1.89 million yuan, a drop of more than 40% compared to the first week.

The movie has been released for 11 days and the box office has reached 4.77 million yuan, falling below million yuan in a single day.

However, Han Han’s fans don’t care, because this result has surpassed the "Tiny Times 3" which just ended!
That's right, after reaping the benefits of the last weekend, Tiny Times 3 was directly announced to be withdrawn from theaters. There was no other way, because the daily box office revenue was less than , and it was impossible not to withdraw the film. It would be too undignified to be forced to withdraw the film by the theaters!
After 18 days of release, "Tiny Times 3" grossed a total of 4.61 million yuan.

Despite achieving the best result in this series, Guo Xiaosi's fans were defeated step by step under the ridicule of Han Han's fans because the previous slogan of 10 billion was too loud.

In comparison, "Cold War 2", which has always had little presence, is making money in a low-key manner.

It has been released for 17 days and the box office has reached 6.84 million yuan, with daily revenue remaining around million yuan.

Some professional organizations predict that the final box office of "Cold War 2" may exceed 8 million yuan.

I wonder how many colleagues in the industry are envious of Jill.

The envy and jealousy in the circle had nothing to do with Wei Jin. After leaving the company, he went to the celebration party of "The Breakup Master".

Although this movie has a bad reputation, its box office of over 6 million is real. The revenue belonging to the producer from the box office share alone is as high as 2.5 million.

Other miscellaneous product placements, patch ads and DVD copyrights completely cover the production and promotion costs.

In other words, this wave of Shanhe Media and Fiber Optic directly brought in 2.5 million yuan.

Especially the main controller Fiber Optic, as a listed company it also received a huge boost in stock price. No wonder the always stingy Lao Wang chose the Royal Hotel to hold his celebration banquet.

To be honest, Wei Jin originally had no intention of participating, but at least it was an investor that accounted for 40% of the total, and picked up a profit of 100 million yuan for free.

In addition, due to Lao Wang’s invitation, Yang Mi, who had just arrived abroad to film, and Liu Yan, who was pregnant, were unable to attend the event.

It would seem a bit unreasonable if the Wei and Jin dynasties didn't come back.

However, we must admit that the practice of flattering the powerful and bullying the weak is ubiquitous in the film and television industry, and this celebration banquet is a perfect reflection of this.

When Wei Jin arrived at the banquet hall, he saw a large number of actors in the circle, especially many young actors, surrounding Deng Chao like stars surrounding the moon, obviously hoping to gain the favor of this new commercial director.

"Mr. Wei."

"Hello, Mr. Wei."

The appearance of Wei Jin directly shifted the focus of the scene, and a group of people immediately rushed to greet him.

After all, how can a new commercial director compare with top international directors and big capital like Wei Jin?
But Deng Chao was not displeased at all. Instead, he came forward with a smile on his face.

And the little lover Nazar, who was wearing a long skirt, was like a swallow returning to the nest. She came over and took Wei Jin's arm, saying softly, "Boss, why did you come just now~~"

"Haha, hasn't this started yet?"

Wei Jin was pleased with the little girl's understanding, but he had no interest in the other actors' courtesy.

Nodding as per usual, Wei Bianjin took Nazar and walked towards Lao Wang's main table, which made many actors on the scene envious.

As soon as we sat down and exchanged a few words, Lao Wang brought up something.

The casting for "Lost in Hong Kong" has already begun. For the main cast, Xu Guangtou still prefers to use mainland actors, but some Hong Kong actors will appear.

Just regarding the female lead, Ahri made some resource exchanges, hoping to push Zhao Yanzi to the position.

After considering it, Guangtou Xu was inclined to agree, and the original talks for the female lead role were shelved.

"Brother, I know you look down on her, but..."

"Brother Wang, you don't need to say more. I promised not to interfere, so I'll keep my word."

Wei Jin interrupted Lao Wang directly and did not dwell on this matter. Ali's entry was bound to lead to this situation.

After all, Zhao Yanzi is one of the shareholders of Ali Pictures, and the box office of "Lost in Hong Kong" will definitely not be low. How could she miss it?

"Okay, brother, I feel relieved when you say that."

Lao Wang seemed to be relieved. If Wei Jin was really dissatisfied, it would be really uncomfortable for him to be caught in the middle.

Wei Jin originally thought that today was just an ordinary celebration banquet, but unexpectedly, Lao Wang was so bold that he actually held a signing ceremony for Deng Chao on the spot.

From now on, Fiber Optic will have the priority investment rights in all of Deng Chao’s films.

Of course, while enjoying the rights and interests, Lao Wang also made a promise: the fiber optic resources will be open to Deng Chao to the greatest extent possible!

Watching Lao Wang and Deng Chao shaking hands on the stage, the media flashed their cameras at the same time, all admiring Fiber Optic's decisiveness.

But no matter how Wei Jin, who was sitting in his seat, looked at it, he felt that Lao Wang was irritated by Guan Hu's "surrendering to the enemy".

We have finally cultivated a director of our own, and we must hold on to him tightly.

Today's celebration banquet is bound to be a great success for both the host and the guests, and the media will definitely give it a lot of positive coverage.

But Wei Jin did not stay at the scene for long. He left at the same time as Nazar and headed straight for the Golden House.

At the previous premiere, Nazar was unable to receive Wei Jin’s favor due to inconvenience.

Moreover, Nazar, who thinks she is the most beautiful woman in the world, doesn't like to play mahjong with others. She prefers to enjoy the favor alone!
Unfortunately, this man is too lucky with women. There are many female celebrities pursuing him in the company alone, so the opportunity to enjoy his favor exclusively is too rare.

And today, I finally got the chance to eat alone, so why not rush in?
So as soon as they arrived at the Golden House, Naza couldn't wait to kiss him. Her pair of snow-white arms were tightly wrapped around Wei Jin's neck, and her whole body pressed tightly against him, as if she wanted to merge her entire body into the man's.

Even through the dress, Wei Jin could feel the heat emanating from Nazha's delicate body.

Apparently, the little girl has been suffering from homesickness over the past two months.

So Wei Jin put his arm around her slender waist and responded passionately and gently.

Of course, while tasting the soft and tender red lips, Wei Jin's big hands were not idle either, conquering the delicate body of the Western Region Red Rose.

After a short while, Nazar seemed to have lost all his strength. He could only surrender and kneel down to beg for mercy.

"Well"

There was a hint of admiration in Wei Jin's voice.

However, considering the audition for "The Mermaid", Wei Jin decided to give Nazar more roles.

As we all know, fish don’t have throats, but do mermaids have one?
Wei Jin thought that there should be no such thing.

So he asked Nazar to practice more so as to better fit the role.

Although it felt a little difficult, Nazar was very obedient.

After a few takes, Director Wei was very satisfied, so he patted the actress's pretty face and encouraged her: "Little Naza performed very well, let's switch scenes next."

"Director, what should I do?"

The director wanted to talk about the play, and Nazar had to cooperate, but she really didn't understand mermaids. Her clear eyes revealed a deep sense of stupidity.

"Let's do a fish jump over the dragon gate first."

After a brief thought, Nazar came up with an idea for a suitable way to perform the performance. She wrapped her snow-white arms around Wei Jin's neck, waiting for the director's blessing.

That night, under the guidance of Director Wei, Naza learned how to do the carp stand.
