During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 703: The Careless Wu Jing Third Son is Born
Perhaps it was really because it was the series finale and audience expectations were very high, so "The Four 3" performed quite well after its release.

On the first day of its release, the box office grossed 3360 million.

After entering the weekend, the momentum was even stronger, breaking the 40 million mark in a single day.

After three days of the first weekend, the cumulative box office exceeded 1.13 million.

According to this data, this final film may actually create a good final box office.

Unfortunately, although the movie did well at the box office, its reputation was just as Wei Jin had expected, which was terrible.

It’s only been three days since the film was released, and the rating on Impression.com is about to fall below 6 points, with countless negative reviews in the comment section.

However, compared with the movies released at the same time, the reputation of "The Four 3" is not the worst.

The movie "Temporary Cohabitation" can be said to have suffered a collapse in reputation.

As expected by the industry, even with talented actors like Zhang Jiahui and Sammi Cheng, as well as the popular new generation actor Ou Hao, they still couldn't bring up the "movie black hole" Yang Ying.

Not only did the movie's box office revenue in its first week fall below 5.1 million, it also only received a rating of points.

Among the online reviews of the film, the word that appears most frequently is "exaggerated acting"!
Huang Xiaoming's road to pampering his wife is really long and difficult.

With the end of another weekend and the release of several movies, the battle in the film market is quite tense.

But perhaps no one expected that the film with the best box office performance at the moment is actually the art film "The Fault in Our Stars".

The film has been released for 24 days and the total box office has reached 4.73 million. With the current daily box office of to million, it is very likely to exceed million.

Following closely behind is "The White-Haired Witch" starring Fan Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming.

After reaping the benefits of the last weekend, the film was withdrawn from theaters, and its final box office revenue fell below the 4 million yuan mark, closing at 3.86 million yuan.

Considering its production cost, Berna achieved a small profit.

Ranked third is "No One 2".

Ten days after the movie was released, the total box office has approached the 10 million mark, closing at 4 million.

However, despite ranking third, the film has good momentum, with daily revenue remaining around 25 million.

According to this situation, we cannot say that the final box office will break 7 million, but it should not be a problem to break the record of 6.11 million set by "A Man's Martial Arts".

During this period, Lu Yang and the main creative team have been on roadshows non-stop, striving for this goal.

In comparison, the performance of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" released at the same time can only be described as hard to describe.

In just ten days, the film had no screenings at all, grossing 3582 million yuan, and was forced to be withdrawn from theaters.

The share of this box office data that went to the producer Xiying was about 15 million.

Including publicity and promotion, Xiying’s loss this time is at least around 20 million.

There is no way. The movie is too advanced, the photographer is too bad, the actors are not big enough, the movie has too many flaws, and it cannot attract audiences just by its content.

But even so, the production director of Xiying made a special phone call to thank Wei Jin.

Because according to the movie's attendance rate, if it had not maintained the screening schedule of the first three days, it might have been abandoned by the theaters long ago.

In other words, at least half of the credit for this box office success goes to Wei Jin.

However, Wei Jin has already arranged for Tudou to buy the exclusive online rights to this film.

The price of three million is not high, but Wei Jin believes that over time, this play will win public recognition.

Of course, the worst one is not the Xiying drama, but "Anti-Corruption Storm" produced by LeTV.

This drama brings together powerful actors such as Principal Koo, Lam Ka-tung, and Liao Qizhi. The production cost alone is close to 3 million. When it premiered, the producer even shouted the slogan of a million guarantee.

Unfortunately, after its release on the 16th, the performance was so shocking that it shocked the industry.

In 9 days, the box office was less than million, and only to million per day.

According to the prediction of professional box office organizations, the final box office of this movie is unlikely to exceed 100 million.

If the publicity and promotion are included in this wave, LeTV and Yindu will suffer a loss of at least 300 to 400 million yuan.

On the contrary, several imported films released recently have performed quite well, with box office revenues basically exceeding 100 million yuan.

Especially the performance of "How to Train Your Dragon 2" was outstanding. In just ten days, the box office directly exceeded 3 million.

This also puzzles the industry. Why can't domestic animated films do this?
But Wei Jin knows that once "The Return of the Great Sage" is released next year, domestic animated films will completely rise.

When "Nezha" is released, animated films will burst into unparalleled brilliance!

The next day, Liu Yifei celebrated her 27th birthday, and countless friends and fans in the circle sent her blessings on her Weibo.

But today's industry news was dominated by the launch of a movie project!

"Led by Sohu and co-produced by New Classics and Wanda, the "Diaosi Men" series movie "Jianbing Man" was officially launched today."

"'The Pancake Man' is director Dapeng's debut film. Nearly 50 well-known actors in the industry will co-star in the film to save unhappiness together."

"It is reported that the film producers have invited internationally renowned action star Jean-Claude Van Damme and the four-member group from Young and Dangerous to join the cast."

"After Guo Jingming and Han Han, the film industry will welcome another new big commercial film director. Dapeng and "The Pancake Man" are worth looking forward to!"

It has to be said that although Sohu does not have many works, it really spares no effort in promoting its artists.

A large number of hot searches and press releases about "The Pancake Man" appeared on major portals, media, and Weibo.

According to media reports, "The Pancake Man" seems to be a "blockbuster movie" that is about to be born.

No wonder, with more than 50 well-known artists in the industry, Hollywood international superstars, the four male protagonists of "Young and Dangerous" making guest appearances, and three major companies jointly producing the film.

Coupled with the extremely high click-through rate of "Diaosi Nanzi" on the Internet, it seems that it does have the potential to be a big hit.

But Wei Jin knew very well that Dapeng's "The Pancake Man" was held together entirely by jokes. Even if it won at the box office, its reputation would be shattered.

After this drama, Dapeng spent nearly five or six years paying off his reputation, which was completely an act of overdrawing his future achievements.

But if you think about it, you can understand it. After all, who can know what will happen in the future? Of course, the best way is to grab the attention and become famous first.

With emotion, Wei Jin put down his phone and glanced at Liu Yan who was resting in the ward.

If he hadn't appeared, Liu Yan and Dapeng would have been good friends.

But now, she is about to give birth to a child, and her life has completely changed.

Liu Yan's due date was in the next few days. In order to avoid being in a rush when the time came, Wei Jin arranged for her to be admitted to the hospital in advance.

Wei Jin had contacted this private hospital a long time ago. Liu Yan had all her prenatal checkups done here, and she also signed an extremely strict confidentiality agreement with the hospital.

Including doctors and nurses, they are all medical team dedicated to serving Liu Yan, and they have all signed relevant agreements.

Even the wards and operating rooms are set up separately to avoid interference from the outside world.

Of course, such thoughtful treatment would come at a high price, but for Wei Jin, this was no problem.

But Wei Jin never expected that Liu Yan hadn't given birth yet, but her former colleague Xie Nan at Guangguang had given birth first.

"At about 1 a.m. today, Wu Jing accompanied Xie Nan to Beijing Hospital, suspected of premature birth."

When Wei Jin saw this news the next day, his expression became more serious.

If he remembered correctly, the child was conceived after New Year's Day, and this was not a case of premature birth for one or two days. So Wei Jin immediately took out his cell phone, called Wu Jing, and asked about the relevant situation.

"Ah, these paparazzi, they are still awake in the middle of the night, I am really impressed"

Wu Jing on the other end of the phone yawned first, obviously a little tired, then started complaining before responding.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wei. It is indeed premature, about a month or so. But the doctor said it is not a big problem. She just needs to stay in the incubator for a while."

"Okay, I'm glad you're okay." Wei Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"But it's okay. If I can finish unloading the goods earlier, I won't be so rushed to shoot Director Ning's movie. Speaking of which, this kid is quite considerate of his father, hahahaha."

Hearing this, Wei Jin both admired Wu Jing's generosity. He had a son at the age of 40, and you are just playing around here?
Sure enough, soon I heard Xie Nan's laughing and scolding voice coming from the phone: "You are really careless, I am almost scared to death."

"Haha."

Wei Jin was immediately amused by the couple, and then asked, "You gave birth to a son, right? What's his name? Which hospital is he in? I'll come and see him when I have time."

"Yes, it's a son. You can come home after he is discharged from the hospital. You won't be able to see him now."

Wu Jing explained first, and then added: "As for the names, we have already decided. The son will be called Wu Suowei and the daughter will be called Wu Xie Ke Ji!

Well, now it's Wu Suowei. How about it, Mr. Wei, is it unique?"

"Forehead"

Wei Jin was stumped by this. After a long while, he said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You know what, it is indeed very unique. But I am curious, how did you convince Xie Nan?"

"Hey, man, you don't even have this little family status? You hold it tightly."

"Look how awesome you are"

The Venice International Film Festival has officially opened.

When Wei Jin was still filming in Lulong, the organizing committee had invited him to serve as a member of the jury for this year's film festival.

Unfortunately, considering Liu Yan's delivery time, Wei Jin could only politely refuse.

However, although Wei Jin did not go, this year's Venice Film Festival still had the participation of many Chinese-language filmmakers, and it could even be said that there were more than in the past.

Because more and more young artists are learning from their predecessors to walk the red carpet and release press releases at major film festivals.

Just this morning, the hot search on Weibo was: "Top domestic boy band TFBoy made a high-profile appearance at the Venice Film Festival dinner!"

Following closely behind were the news about Wu Yifan, Yang Ying, Jiang Yiyan, Zhou Dongyu and others in Venice.

These people have no films competing in competitions or being screened, but that doesn't stop them from sending out announcements one after another. The topic level and popularity are off the charts, and they are quite good at hype.

All I can say is that as the Internet enters the film and television industry, this kind of situation will become more and more common in the future. It is one of the fastest ways to create stars.

However, Wei Jin didn't pay much attention to the news on the Internet, even though the copyrights of "Operation Mekong" and "Lost in Thailand" were being traded there, because Liu Yan was about to give birth.

Of course, compared to the previous births of Zeng Li and Da Meiyuan, Wei Jin was much calmer this time. After all, he had become a father twice.

On the contrary, the two young assistants who followed, Bao Tianqi and Chen Yuqi, were more nervous.

At this moment, she was pacing back and forth in high heels, clasping her hands from time to time, and occasionally looking inside through the glass, even though she could not see anything.

To be honest, it is only because of this private hospital that confidentiality is better and the delivery rooms are separate, otherwise these two people would probably have been complained by others.

"Okay, you two are making my eyes dizzy, please stop."

After half an hour, Wei Jin couldn't stand the constant "tapping" sound of the high heels anymore and couldn't help but complain.

The gentle Bao Tianqi stopped after hearing this, while the quirky Chen Yuqi pouted and wanted to retort.

But before she could say anything, the green light in the operating room came on and a group of people surrounded her in an instant.

A middle-aged woman in surgical gown opened the door and walked out, then took off her mask and looked at everyone.

She smiled as she walked towards Wei Jin, "Mr. Wei, congratulations. Both mother and child are safe. The child weighs 15.40 pounds and is very healthy!"

"Thank you, Dr. Mo."

Wei Jin nodded and clasped his hands together in thanks.

Behind him, Wei Xingbang, Wei Anguo and others who followed also had happy smiles on their faces.

Another son, the Wei family is becoming more and more prosperous!
"Ding dong~~"

At this time, the independent elevator door opened, and the sound of hurried high heels came from it.

Wei Jin looked back and saw Huang Mengying rushing over with a handbag.

"Boss, how is it, has Sister Liu Yan given birth? I rushed here right after I received Tianqi's call. I was stuck in traffic for over an hour. I should have not gone to shoot that magazine earlier."

Huang Mengying looked a little anxious, and it was obvious that she had a very good relationship with Liu Yan.

"Yes, it's a boy."

"That's great."

Huang Mengying's eyes lit up and she walked towards the delivery room.

However, he was stopped by Professor Mo, who said that Liu Yan needed to undergo a simple examination and could only go in after waiting for a while.

Ten minutes later, Liu Yan completed the postpartum cleaning and examination, and Wei Jin and his party were allowed to enter the ward.

However, only Wei Jin and Huang Mengying chose to come in. After all, it was not too convenient and they could see each other later anyway.

In the delivery room, Liu Yan was lying on the bed resting. She was a little fat and her facial features were a little swollen.

Wei Jin squatted down, held Liu Yan's cold hand, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and said gently, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Boss, I'm fine. Everything went smoothly. I heard that someone tried to give birth before but couldn't for hours."

Liu Yan smiled on her pale face: "Take a quick look at our son. Does he look like you or me?"

"it is good."

Wei Jin said this as he carefully and skillfully took the child, who had been carefully scrubbed, from the hands of the nurse in a white coat.

I saw a baby with red skin in the cradle, sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

"Sister Liu Yan, I think his mouth and nose look a lot like the boss's. He will definitely be a handsome guy when he grows up."

Before Wei Jin could say anything, Huang Mengying interrupted him.

To be honest, a newborn baby is very small and its skin looks a little soft, like a piece of tender tofu. How can you tell who it looks like?
But Huang Mengying didn't care. She just stood by, reached out and gently touched the baby's clenched fist, still chattering.

"Little Wei Yang, wake up quickly and look at Aunt Meng Ying."

Wei Yang is the child's full name, which had been decided by his father and uncle half a month ago.

This name implies that his life is as bright and warm as the sun.

"Mengying, please don't disturb my son's sleep. If you like children, I will give you one in a few years."

"0.0"

Wei Jin's words made Huang Mengying embarrassed. She was only 24 years old, and having a child was still too far away.

However, Liu Yan, who was lying on the bed, knew that these assistants would not be able to escape the fate of bearing children for the Wei family.
