During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 729 Meng Ziyi's Surprise: Noon Sunshine's New Film

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

Inside a small two-bedroom apartment on a high floor, Wei Jin put his arm around Meng Ziyi's slender waist and asked in a gentle voice.

Today, Meng Ziyi wore a black halter dress, paired with big black wavy hair and bright red lipstick. Although she still looked a little immature, her royal sister style was already beginning to emerge.

Even if it weren't for the unconcealable surprise on her face, and her expression became a little colder, she would be the Queen of the Night.

As for where the surprise came from, it was of course because of this house.

"Brother, are you really giving this to me?"

At this moment, Meng Ziyi's face still had an expression of disbelief and surprise.

After leaving the classroom at Beijing Film Academy, she came to this community according to the location given by Wei Jin.

Meng Ziyi also expressed her understanding of the man's caution. After all, their identities are teacher and student, and this "underground love affair" is not suitable to be exposed for the time being.

But after coming here, she thought it was just another stopover for Wei and Jin, just like the Golden House.

I never thought that this was the house I bought for myself?
You know, although this house is not big, it is only three kilometers away from Beijing Film Academy and has an excellent geographical location.

According to the current housing prices, it would cost at least four or five million. How could you just give it to her like that?

"of course."

Wei Jin held the beauty tighter in his arms and nodded in confirmation.

It was also at this time that he discovered that the perfume on the little girl smelled quite nice, making him feel like releasing hormones.

"This way you won't have to worry about not being able to go home at night, and it will be more convenient for us to meet, right?"

Having said that, Wei Jin's hand on the slender waist has already grasped the perky buttocks. Even through the thin skirt, he can feel the amazing elasticity.

"From now on, this will be our love nest. Check it out again to see if you like it. If not, we can get another one."

“I like it, I like it very much!”

When Meng Ziyi heard Wei Jin use the word "love nest" to describe this house, his brain was filled with dopamine. He felt dizzy and almost blurted out the word.

"Well, that's fine if you like it."

Wei Jin smiled and nodded, feeling relieved. Although he just said it was grand, it was not easy to find a suitable one if he really wanted to choose another one.

Although money can buy any service, when it comes to buying a house, it still depends on fate.

This house was originally the wedding home of a young couple, but due to the man's job transfer, the couple had no chance to move in and had to reluctantly put the house up for sale through an agency.

"Brother, you are so nice to me, mua~~"

Meng Ziyi is quite simple-minded and doesn't hide her emotions. She puts her arms around Wei Jin's neck and her red lips decisively touch his profile.

"Haha, our Ziyi is the campus beauty of Beijing Film Academy. She has so many suitors. If I don't treat you well, what if you run away with someone else?"

Wei Jin smiled and joked, and at the same time, he slightly exerted force with his hands that were holding Er'er's hips, and the two of them were suddenly pressed tightly together.

Even the hot breath exhaled by each other could be clearly felt.

"No way, I will always belong to you, Senior~~"

Although he knew Wei Jin was joking, Meng Ziyi still hurriedly made a solemn assurance.

What a joke, he is good at both being in the parlor and in the boudoir, generous, handsome, rich, successful in his career, gentle and considerate.
Where can you find such a high-quality man?

Unless Meng Ziyi loses her mind, she will never let go, even if Jesus comes!
But it seemed that there was no point in making a promise, so Meng Ziyi raised his head and looked at Wei Jin with love in his big eyes: "Brother, kiss me~~~"

How could Wei Jin refuse the beauty's call? He immediately lowered his head and kissed her soft and fiery red lips.

A pair of big hands began to wander freely on the young and well-proportioned body.

It was not until this time that Wei Jin discovered that Meng Ziyi was actually wearing TB, and he immediately put his martial arts skills to use.

The 19-year-old girl is passionate and obsessed.

Especially a love-brained girl like Meng Ziyi, who had already fallen into the "love story" she had woven for herself, and had a special attachment to her "boyfriend" Wei Jin.

In addition, I hadn't seen him for nearly a month since our first experience, and at this moment, it was like a bolt from the blue, and it was out of control.

When the kiss ended, Meng Ziyi could feel that she was already "shedding tears all over her face", so she bit her red lips and said coquettishly: "Brother, carry me to the room."

"Haha, it seems like Ziyi can't wait any longer, so let Senior Brother take good care of you."

After saying this, Wei Jin squatted down and stood up, then hugged the girl around the waist and strode towards the bedroom.

Soon, the sound of applause and cheers for this wedding room came from inside the house.
After the clouds and rain, Meng Ziyi felt exhausted all over and leaned lazily in Wei Jin's arms, enjoying the afterglow that slowly drifted down from the clouds.

Wei Jin also hugged the girl's fair and delicate body, caressing her non-stop, recalling the beauty of what had just happened.

He had to admit that young girls and older sisters each had their own advantages.

The former is tight and shy, giving people the urge to conquer and protect; while the latter is gentle and generous, giving people infinite tenderness and tolerance.

Which is better depends entirely on personal preference, but Boss Wei wants both!
"Brother, today at school, you said you didn't know who would be the heroine for The Great Wall. Is that true?"

The curious voice in his ear brought Wei Jin back to his senses, and the numbing feeling brought by the hot breath made him unconsciously hold his hips.

"It's true. Not to mention me, I guess even poet Chen doesn't know it yet."

During this period, the casting of "The Great Wall" has become a focus of discussion in the industry, and Wei Jin was also asked this question in a class at Beijing Film Academy.

These students certainly didn't have any ideas, because in such a big production, even a supporting role was not something they could hope for.

They were simply curious and wanted to learn some "truth" from the great director Wei Jin!
But to be honest, this life's "The Great Wall" is very different from the previous life because of the intrusion of the Wei and Jin dynasties. Even the director was replaced by poet Chen. What does he know?

"So, Senior Brother, in your opinion, who has a higher probability?"

"Well, it's hard to say." Wei Jin still did not give an answer.

In fact, under his persuasion, the artists on the company's side, such as the big actresses Fan Bingbing and Zhou Xun, and the small actresses Bai Bin, Ni Ni, Yang Mi and others, have given up the idea of ​​contacting the company.

Including Li Bingbing, although Wei Jin did not answer the call before, considering that they had cooperated before, he still replied to a WeChat message and gave some subtle reminders.

But as she is a famous actress, she has her own considerations, and since they have become acquainted, Wei Jin couldn't say anything more.

Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face of the three major producers, not only would it offend people, it would also be completely unnecessary.

Therefore, those who are competing fiercely now are Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Zhao Yanzi and others.

As for the other young actresses in the circle, such as Yang Ying, Li Xiaolu and others, to be honest, their chances are not great, at least Wei Jin is not optimistic.

"I don't know when I'll have the chance to audition for a movie like this again, even if I'm rejected it would be fine."

Meng Ziyi didn't know what Wei Jin was thinking, and there was a hint of envy in his tone.

Wei Jin also expressed understanding of this.

After all, for a pure newcomer like Meng Ziyi who has no works and has not yet made his debut, his resume cannot even be put on the producer's desk.

So he held the little beauty tight in his arms and comforted her gently, "Don't worry, follow me, I won't let you suffer any loss."

"Well, I believe in you, Senior Brother."

Meng Ziyi nodded heavily. She had no doubt about this.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Did you have a good rest?"

Meng Ziyi was a little confused: "Ah?" "Ah what? I didn't..."

As he spoke, Wei Jin's big hand took control of the situation again, and the meaning was already very clear.

To be honest, the little girl's young body is indeed beautiful, but it is not durable, and her fighting power is much worse than that of the older sisters.

The key is that he can't be too brave, otherwise it will seem that he is not gentle with women.

Meng Ziyi also knew that it was very hard for a man to endure, so she bit her red lips and slowly got into bed.
The next morning, Wei Jin came to the company refreshed.

Sitting in the large boss chair, he tasted the premium Tieguanyin tea prepared by his assistant while browsing emails from North America.

In the email, Hunter reported on the achievements of "Maze Runner" and his recent work arrangements.

Since it was released on September 9, the film has grossed $19 million worldwide, just as predicted by North American box office forecasting agencies.

However, at present, most regions have entered into routine disposal, and the daily income is only a few hundred thousand US dollars. If we want to break through the 4 million US dollar mark, we still have to look at the performance of the domestic market.

It is worth mentioning that the film has already obtained a quota for film release from China Film Group Corporation, and will be released in the domestic market at the end of the month.

Wei Jin estimated that it should be able to smoothly take over the screening time vacated by "Operation Mekong".

As for the sequel to "Maze Runner", Summit Entertainment is already making early preparations and is expected to start filming by the end of the year.

In addition, the director of "Insidious 4" has been confirmed - Adam Robitel, a North American director, producer and actor.

This guy is an actor. Although he has good looks, he is not well-known in Hollywood. What he is best known to the public is probably his role in "X-Men".

Later, he transformed himself into a director in search of a breakthrough, but the few films he directed did not make much of a splash.

The reason why Hunter took a fancy to him was because of the movie "Memento" which was about to be released in North America.

This drama was distributed by Summit Entertainment. After all, in recent years, they have been expanding their distribution channels, so it is naturally impossible for them to only focus on their own business.

Many independent film companies and even grassroots crews are willing to seek cooperation with Summit Entertainment because the price is fair and at least there will be no tricks in the box office sharing.

After watching the sample film, Hunter admired Adam Robitel's achievements in horror films.

In his words, this low-budget thriller is guaranteed to take in more than 30 million US dollars at the box office, and may even exceed 50 million.

Although this figure is far from the hundreds of millions of dollars earned worldwide by series such as "The Conjuring" and "Insidious".

But compared to the production cost of one or two million, it can be considered a big profit.

Hunter even wanted to sign this director and have him make horror films exclusively for Summit Entertainment in the future.

In response, Wei Jin replied in an email that it was worth a try.

In fact, Wei Jin had some impression of Adam. Later, he directed the "Escape Room" series, which performed quite well at the box office.

If we can sign the contract or reach a fixed cooperation model, we can make arrangements for him in advance.

"dong dong dong~~"

After replying to the email, Wei Jin was about to pay attention to the industry news when there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jin saw Jiang Xueman, who was wearing a professional suit, walking in with a smile. He couldn't help but joked, "Director Jiang, from the looks of you, do you have another project?"

Speaking of which, among the company's senior executives, Chen Zhiming, who started his own business with me, is not particularly strong in personality and is not very ambitious. He is good at defending the city but not good at exploring new things.

As for Vice President Zhong Lifang, perhaps because she has only been with the company for a short time, or perhaps because she is still frightened by what happened with Xiao Ma, she seems to be a little bit shy and has not shown any drive yet.

On the contrary, Jiang Xueman, who joined the company midway, might have experienced a broken heart and was completely focused on her work. When she came to the office, there was probably a project.

Jiang Xuemeng also heard the teasing and ridicule in Wei Jin's words, and smiled with her hands covering her mouth, and retorted: "Boss Wei, you guessed wrong this time. It's not me who urged them to start work, it's the Noon Sunshine."

"Oh? The post-production of "Nirvana in Fire" has ended?" Wei Jin raised his eyebrows.

Although this drama was invested by the company, the main production team was still Noon Sunshine, and the post-production was not completed by Shanhe Shuimo.

After all, there are not many special effects, and Noon Sunshine’s headquarters is still near Hengdian, so there is no need to run back and forth.

Therefore, Wei Jin was not very clear about the progress.

"Yes, I received a call from Hou Hongliang yesterday. The finished film has been released."

Wei Jin nodded. It had been about four months since the filming was completed in June.

"But even if that's the case, isn't it too hasty? Do they have the funds?"

Wei Jin's words were not meant to look down on Noon Sunshine, because the total investment in "Nirvana in Fire" was as high as 1.2 million yuan. According to the original cooperation model, Noon Sunshine invested million yuan.

Even though Wei Jin paid a large sum of cash when he first acquired the shares, that was for the shareholders and was different from the company's accounts.

With "The Battle of Changsha" barely making a profit and "Nirvana in Fire" yet to be sold, Wei Jin didn't think that Noon Sunshine, which was only established not long ago, would have much liquidity.

"Funds are really limited, so this time they plan to do a medium-cost project."

Jiang Xueman could understand Noon Sunshine's eagerness.

If Zhou Yi had also relied on Shanhe Media, she would have felt that if she didn't produce three or four dramas a year, she would have been letting down such a large team behind the scenes.

After all, if the people above can stay stable, the people below still need to eat.

"Oh? Have you found your target?"

"Well, Hou Hongliang said that when he came to Beijing last time, he saw a spy war script in the scriptwriting department and thought it was very interesting."

After hearing this, Wei Jin nodded. Spy dramas that rely on the plot to win and don't have any big scenes really don't cost much.

But now, he had a rough idea in his mind that it should be that play.

Sure enough, the next moment, Jiang Xuemeng was heard answering her own question and announcing the name of the project.

"I also think that this adaptation of The Disguiser is really good. The sales of the original novel are also good. If it is adapted into a small screen, the ratings should be high."

Jiang Xueman didn't even say anything. If the company had a director who was good at this, she would have developed it long ago.

"Okay, since Director Jiang is optimistic, then notify them to send someone over to discuss this. You will be in charge of this aspect."

"Okay." Jiang Xueman nodded decisively.

In fact, the TV drama production department of Shanhe Media was under the jurisdiction of Chen Zhiming, but the latter basically did not interfere much, so Jiang Xueman was the top boss.

In this respect, he seems more comfortable than Chen Xi, the director of the film production department, who has a vice president above him.

"By the way, Director Jiang, how are the situations of Joy of Life 2 and The Journey of Flower?"

"The scenes for Joy of Life 2 have already been completed, but because it is the second and third part of the filming, the crew is still in Hengdian. According to Director Wu's estimate, all the scenes will be completed before December."

Wei Jin nodded. The reason for choosing continuous shooting was mainly because it would be difficult to coordinate the schedules of the actors in the series once they were separated.

In addition, continuous shooting is also very convenient. At least the crew setting up and related preparation costs are much lower.

"For The Journey of Flower, the editing work has been completed. Now we just have to wait for the special effects to be completed. According to Shanhe Shuimo's estimate, it will take about two months."

Wei Jin had no questions about this deadline. After all, one of the major selling points of fantasy dramas is the special effects, so it is normal for it to take a longer time.

"Okay, let's do this for now."
