During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 713: A request for peace or a provocation?

The next day, filming of "Bad Genius" continued.

According to the plot, the male lead Bai Yu sacrificed himself, admitted to cheating, and helped Jing Tian clear his suspicion.

The final result was that he, who had always been a good student, was expelled from school.

On the contrary, Jing Tian, ​​the original initiator of this fraud case, successfully graduated from high school.

"It's easy to make money! Let's do this in the future. We can easily make millions in one trip. Anyway, we won't go to jail if we get caught."

The moment he received the payment, Bai Yu, who had experienced many ups and downs, seemed to be reborn.

With a sinister smile on his face, he invited Jing Tian to cheat in the Oxford University entrance examination in the same way.

Unfortunately, after experiencing the thrilling exam room and witnessing Bai Yu's downfall, Jing Tian, ​​a girl with a good nature who only wanted to make some money to supplement her family, realized the damage that cheating does to social fairness.

She just shook her head and said: "If you are short of money, just take my share and don't make the same mistake again."

"Is it my fault? Who made me go down this path? Now you are pretending to be a good person?"

Bai Yu's face became ferocious and his eyes were fierce. "I'm telling you, if you don't come with me this time, I will report you for cheating in the SAT exam. Then no one will be able to escape. In the end, your father will be extremely disappointed."

"sorry."

Jing Tian had a guilty look on her face, as she could not escape the blame for the other party's accusations.

But then she became firm again, "I will take the initiative to bear the consequences of my wrongdoings. This is what my father wants to see."

After most of the day's shooting, everything went very smoothly with almost no NGs.

It can be seen that Jing Tian has grown a lot during this period, or he has spent more time and effort on this drama.

After all, this is a suspense drama with a female lead, which is quite different from the original "Lucy". If you want to achieve good results, you really have to be more dedicated.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, after nearly two months of filming, "Bad Genius" finally had its last shot.

In the surveillance video, King Liu, who plays the father, takes Jing Tian into the SAT test center and tells the whole cheating process.
"Crack!"

After Guo Fan called out "Cut", he raised his chin towards Wei Jin, and the meaning was very clear: Senior Brother, do you want to have some ritual?

Seeing this, Wei Jin smiled and shook his head. Guo Fan shrugged and did not force it. He picked up the large speaker next to the monitor and completed the last ceremony of the filming.

"I declare that the filming of Bad Genius has officially wrapped!"

"Oh, it's done!"

"Ouch."

Led by Bai Yu, Zhu Yilong, Kan Qingzi and others, the crew instantly became lively, including Jin Yukun, who had just signed a contract to join the company.

Everyone was very excited and happy. After all, the two-month filming away from home was finally over.

"Okay, everyone, pack up and go back to the hotel to change clothes. Let's relax for the evening party."

As Wei Jin finished his words, the scene began to move in an orderly manner.

The news about the completion of the film spread quickly in Hong Kong and even spread to the mainland.

"The film "Bad Genius", produced by Shanhe Media, written by Wei Jin, directed by Guo Fan, and starring the popular actress Jing Tian, ​​officially wrapped up in Hong Kong today!"

"Ying Huang Entertainment Artist Director Fok Man-Hsi said that he will be at the Peninsula Hotel tonight to practice for the crew."

"To be honest, I'm still a little uncomfortable with the wrap party turning into a farewell party hosted by someone else."

While Jing Tian went back to the hotel to change clothes, Wei Jin was chatting with Liu Tianwang and others in the hotel lobby.

"Director Wei, you come to Hong Kong too seldom. If you stay here more often, you will find that there are too many cocktail parties to attend."

"Hahaha"

Wei Jin could tell that as a recognized good guy in the circle, King Liu must have been invited to various cocktail parties many times, which must have been a headache for him.

"Director Wei, come to think of it, we met at a cocktail party, right? It's been seven or eight years."

King Liu reminisced about the past, but Wei Jin just smiled and shook his head.

"Brother Hua, you are wrong. You have known me for seven or eight years, but I have known you for more than twenty years. Hahahaha"

What Wei Jin said is true. Not to mention his previous life, he also grew up watching classic works such as "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "God of Gamblers", "Infernal Affairs", and "Infernal Affairs" in this life.

However, I haven't been to Hong Kong, or the Peninsula Hotel, for several years.

I remember the last time was in 09 when I attended the celebration banquet for "The Besieged City" with Liu Yifei. In a blink of an eye, five years have passed.

Putting away his feelings about the passing of time, Wei Jin asked, "Brother Hua, how do you feel about working with Tian Tian this time?"

"Very good. Compared to the original "The Martian", Tiantian has grown a lot."

King Liu's usual high EQ was online, and he praised the film as soon as he opened his mouth, but then he sighed, "It's just that the role is a little less, I still hope to work with Director Wei in the future."

"There must be a chance. Maybe this time it won't be too far away."

"Oh? Director Wei, are you serious?"

Hearing these familiar words, King Liu seemed to be back in time to the premiere of “The Warring States” that year, and immediately became energized.

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens."

Wei Jin nodded, but kept it a secret.

In the magical version of "The Great Wall" that he conceived, there is indeed a role suitable for King Liu.

But we still have to wait for La Peikang’s reply for the details, so it’s not convenient to disclose them now.

However, even this unconfirmed news made King Liu very happy.

"That's great, Director Wei. I finally have the chance to work with you again. I must have a good drink tonight, hahahaha."

"Brother, Brother Hua, what are you guys talking about? Why are you laughing so happily?"

At this time, Jing Tian, ​​dressed in a gorgeous dress, came over with a smile.

"Oh, Tiantian, Director Wei said we might collaborate on a play next time. Of course I'm happy."

"Really, brother? Is there a role suitable for me? Brother Hua helped a lot this time. If it's suitable, I will also go to make a guest appearance to show my support."

"Okay, okay, Tiantian, it's perfect for you to come."

My goodness, listening to the two of them talking to each other, it seemed like the matter had been finalized. Wei Jin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and had to interrupt them.

"Okay, the project is not in sight yet, we'll talk about it later. We should set off now, so as not to keep the host waiting for too long."

Jing Tian stuck out her tongue mischievously and walked up to take Wei Jin's arm.

"Well, let's go."

Wei Jin didn't expect that something unexpected would happen when he just went to a simple appointment.

I had just gotten off the business car and walked into the hotel lobby when a middle-aged man with a serious face came towards me.

There were several bodyguards following this man, and his aura was somewhat terrifying. Old Zhu immediately dodged and protected Wei Jin behind him.

"Hello, Mr. Wei. My name is Xiang Qiang, and I’m the chairman of China Star Film Group." The person in front of him was none other than Long Wu. While speaking, he forced a smile, as if to express goodwill.

But to be honest, his expressionless face makes him even more creepy when he smiles. Wei Jin felt a little uncomfortable, so he nodded indifferently.

"Hello, President Xiang, what's up?"

Even though he bombarded their house the day before yesterday and blocked his wife's Weibo account yesterday, Wei Jin didn't think Long Wu would come here deliberately to provoke him.

Even if this is Hong Kong, it’s not allowed!
As for releasing goodwill, talking about peace? It seems a bit ridiculous.

For a moment, Wei Jin really couldn't figure out his intention.

"Haha, speaking of which, when "The Witch" was being filmed two years ago, I invited Mr. Wei. Unfortunately, the people below didn't consider it carefully. I'm really sorry."

After these words were spoken, Jing Tian pursed her lips. She knew what happened at that time and it obviously brought back some bad memories.

At the celebration party for "The Martian" that year, she once felt that she had been too targeted at Liu Shishi, the little "quail", but she never thought that she would still be robbed.

Humph, I have to squeeze this man hard tonight, to prevent him from being unfaithful all day long!
But Wei Jin didn't have time to think so much. The other party had been wasting time and didn't get to the point, and he was already a little impatient.

As expected, people in the underworld are the best at observing people's expressions. Seeing Wei Jin frowning, Long Wu spoke directly to the point: "Boss Wei, I guess our family has never offended you, right?"

These words were spoken softly, and only Jing Tian and King Liu could hear them, but their weight and impact were significant.

King Liu frowned and wanted to say something. He and Long Wu had worked together before, although they didn't have much contact afterwards.

Jing Tian's face became a little more serious, and the others, including Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu, slowly gathered around Wei Jin.

No matter what, you have to build up your momentum first!

"Mr. Wei, Mr. Yang is still waiting for you."

At this time, Huo Wenxi appeared with a smile, but when she saw Long Wu clearly, her heart skipped a beat, and then she smiled without changing her expression.

"Boss Xiang, what a coincidence? I haven't heard that Huaxia Star has any activities here?"

"Haha, mani, it's quite a coincidence."

Long Wu smiled, "But what you said is not right. The Peninsula Hotel is not owned by Mr. Yang. Do I need to report whether I come or not?"

"Mr. Xiang, that's not right. It's just that tonight is Mr. Yang's farewell party. If you have nothing else to do, please don't stop our guests."

While Huo Wenxi was speaking, he had already signaled his assistant to go and inform the boss. Seeing this, Long Wu smiled and said, "Haha, Mani, you worry too much."

Then, he looked at Wei Jin again: "Mr. Wei, what happened before was all a misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart. I hope we can be friends in the future."

While speaking, Long Wu stretched out his right hand, and only then was Wei Jin really sure that the other party was here to seek peace!

But to be honest, Long Wu's appearance makes it really hard to tell what he's thinking.

Wei Wei shook hands with the other party, and Wei Jin replied calmly.

"My principle has always been to deal with things, not people. As long as they don't provoke me, I won't bother to pay attention. But I invested more than 100 million in "The Mermaid"!"

After saying this, Wei Jin immediately withdrew his hand, and the other party understood immediately.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei. Huaxiaxing is planning to make a blockbuster movie. If there is a chance, I hope to cooperate with Shanhe Shuimo."

"If you need any business in this area, please go to the company to discuss it. I won't interfere."

Although Wei Jin would not interfere, everyone in the company knew that he was cautious about the Hong Kong circle. Considering that Shanhe Shui Mo's own workload was already quite tight, it seemed likely that they would not be able to cooperate.

"Okay, I won't bother Mr. Wei today. Goodbye."

Wei Jin just nodded without responding, then looked at Huo Wenxi who seemed to have not yet come to his senses.

"Sister Mani, let's go. Isn't it said that Director Yang is waiting anxiously?"

"Oh, oh, Mr. Wei, Miss Jing, this way please."

The Hong Kong circle is not a big place and news spreads very quickly.

When the cocktail party just started, many people in the Hong Kong circle already knew that Hua Xia Star's boss Xiang had deliberately given in to Wei Jin because of his wife's careless words.

Therefore, the atmosphere of this cocktail party was more enthusiastic than ever before. Many familiar faces came to hang around Wei Jin, obviously further recognizing his energy.

However, Wei Jin was very clear that it was not just his power that was at stake. The Xiang family was mainly afraid that he would take the lead and drag China Film and Shanghai Film Group into action together.

But Long Wu was obviously overthinking it. The one who was really angry this time was not Wei Jin, nor Ren Zhonglun, who seemed elegant but was actually shrewd, but La Peikang.

Even if Wei Jin didn't take action, this level would not be easy to pass.

To put it bluntly, Longwujia’s biggest partner in the mainland is Berna.

But Fatty Yu himself also came from China Film Group and was Han Sanping's old subordinate.

If Long Wu’s actions this time are not reprimanded, people inside China Film Corporation will probably think that the new chairman, La, has no temper.

I just don't know how Mr. La plans to attack us?

I think with La Peikang's personality, he shouldn't be as violent and direct as Han Sanping, right?

However, these have little to do with the Wei and Jin Dynasties. We can just wait and see what happens.

At this time, Boss Yang, who had just finished greeting everyone at the scene, came over. The Hong Kong stars around Wei Jin dispersed tacitly, leaving the venue to the boss.

As expected, the first thing Boss Yang said was the same old stuff.

"Boss Wei, I heard from Boss Shi that Jiahe's new project is about to start?"

"Well, next year, I plan to try to cooperate with Wang Jing. There is a script that suits his style."

Wei Jin nodded and told the story of the "Chasing the Dragon" series without hiding anything.

In fact, this was a small request Wang Jing made when he agreed to join "Famous", hoping to cooperate with the group.

After Zhong Lifang and Shi Nansheng communicated with each other, they learned that there was a script that had been shelved, so they proposed cooperation and finally finalized the project.

Wei Jin only found out about this later, but he had no objection to it. After all, Zhong Lifang was the company's executive vice president and she did have some power.

What's more, this was originally Wang Jing's work, so it would be most appropriate to give it to him.

According to Shi Nansheng's plan, this project will be launched at the end of the year, and will strive to be released during next year's Lunar New Year holiday or the Spring Festival holiday the year after.

"I don't know what happened to Ying Huang this time."

Although he had not seen the script, after all these years of cooperation, Boss Yang's trust in Wei Jin had reached a blind stage, and he immediately became concerned about the core issues.

"Don't worry, Director Yang. Yinghuang's share this time will not be less than 30%. You can discuss the specific details with President Shi later."

Hearing this, Boss Yang's face twitched unconsciously.

Because compared to Wei Jin who was easy to talk to, Shi Nansheng was obviously more difficult to deal with, at least when it came to the premium, he was very determined.

However, he naturally couldn't bring up this kind of thing in front of Wei Jin, so he smiled and raised his glass and suggested: "Thank you, President Wei, and I wish us a happy cooperation."

Wei Jin raised his glass and clinked it with his own, jokingly saying, "Director Yang, we have always had a pleasant cooperation."

"Hahaha, what President Wei said is true."
