During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 731: Reunion with a Unique Taste

On the balcony of the Xishan Villa, Liu Shishi leaned on the railing with both hands, her face rosy and her eyes gazing into the distance with a dazed look.

Behind her is the tall and straight Wei Jin.

After leaving the welcoming dinner hosted by Wanda, the two went directly to their "love nest" to enjoy their newlywed world of separation.

After the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, Liu Shishi, like a gentle wife, did all the follow-up work, and then leaned gently in Wei Jin's arms, savoring the lingering charm that had not yet subsided.

Wei Jin didn't say anything, but just held the girl's smooth and delicate body tightly in his arms, enjoying this rare quiet moment.

After resting for a while, Liu Shishi seemed to have regained her strength and started chatting with Wei Jin about the interesting things that happened during the promotional roadshow during this period.

Wei Jin mostly listens, but occasionally he also acts as a supporting actor, providing enough emotional value.

However, what he didn't expect was that he actually heard some "inside information" from the little girl.

"Shishi, you mean that Matt came here this time not only for the premiere, but also to contact Legendary Pictures about The Great Wall?"

"Well, although he didn't say it explicitly, he said he came here for business cooperation. I guess it's only The Great Wall, right? Anyway, Annie and I guessed that it should be like this."

The little girl's tone was a little uncertain, but Wei Jin estimated that it was almost certain. After all, Matt was the leading male role in the play in his previous life.

Although the situation in China has become a mess due to the intrusion of Wei Jin in this life, I think it should not affect Legendary and Universal's decision on Hollywood actors.

But what made Wei Jin even more curious was another thing. He lifted the girl's chin and asked, "Shishi, are you and Hathaway so close?"

You know, Hollywood's top stars have never been very friendly to domestic artists.

I still remember that after returning from the crew of "Pacific Rim", Zhang Yike often complained in the company that foreign actors were difficult to deal with.

At that time, those foreign actors were just supporting roles.

This is certainly due to the fact that Zhang Yi’s status is not high, but it also shows the arrogance of Hollywood actors.

Compared with Zhang Yi at that time, even though Liu Shishi was more famous in China, she was still not well-known internationally.

Wei Jin was really surprised that she could get along well with Anne Hathaway, an actress who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

"Yeah, it's OK. After all, I've been on the crew for a long time, so we talked a lot. After getting to know each other, I don't think she has the problems that the media reported. She's a pretty easy-going person."

Wei Jin could tell that Liu Shishi's words seemed to be a bit indignant for her "new friend".

No wonder, since her marriage, Anne Hathaway has gone from being North America's sweetheart to the target of online criticism.

The reason is that life is too perfect.

Not only did he grow up in a wealthy family and have academic success, but he also had a smooth journey after entering society, with all kinds of awards and resources readily available to him.

Even the marriage is happy and fulfilling.

This gives people an unreal feeling, and they really want to uncover her background and see what is inside.

It can be said that "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind" or "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."

In short, no popular actor can escape this, it just depends on whether they can withstand the pressure.

"Okay, Master, there's no need to get angry about other people's affairs."

Wei Jin didn't want to talk more about this topic, and said with a smile on his face: "Have you rested well? The second scene is about to begin."

Because after the premiere of "Interstellar" is over, she will immediately join the filming of "The Imperial Doctress". It is conservatively estimated that she will not be able to see Wei Jin for at least two or three months.

Taking advantage of the opportunity she had in the capital these days, she certainly had to reward herself.

The impact of the "Ban Order" is still continuing to ferment, and no movie that has been affected can escape.

Following "Monster Hunt" and "The Sun Also Rises", Guo Xiaosi's "Tiny Times 4" was also announced to be withdrawn from the schedule before the end of October.

Moreover, compared with the two previous producers who were secretive, the producer LeTV was very direct and did not hide the reason for the withdrawal at all - the shots of Taiwanese actors were re-edited, leaving only the sound.

As the news came out, the internet became lively instantly. A large number of brainless fans could not accept this fact and directed their anger at the producer and director Guo Xiaosi.

LeTV completely ignored it. After all, fans are creatures that cannot be reasoned with, and there is no need to reason with them.

On the other hand, Guo Xiaosi, who makes a living from his fans, posted a special Weibo post to appease the fans.

He said frankly: This is not something the director can decide, and I am also innocent.

I have to say, this operation is quite cunning.

But Wei Jin didn't expect that there would still be brainless fans who directed their criticism at him, still using the same theory of "a dog trying to catch a rat is meddling in other people's business".

There were even some who jumped up and down and criticized his character.

As a result, another batch of accounts that "violated community agreements" were banned by Weibo's backend.

The happiness of a privileged person is really great for whoever has it!

Wei Jinquan used the fun on the Internet as a way to spice up his life. After a crazy night with Liu Shishi, the two of them spent another morning together in the Xishan villa.

After eating the simple lunch cooked by Wei Jin himself, the two left their love nest and went their separate ways.

Wei Jin went to the company to handle some matters, while Liu Shishi joined the crew to attend the fan meeting held by Wanda in the afternoon.

The location is at Wanda Cinema’s flagship store in Beijing, which was also the itinerary decided at the welcoming banquet last night.

According to Nolan's idea, he will talk to the audience and fans about the scientific theoretical basis of the film at the meeting in a way that does not involve spoilers.

After all, the core of the movie "Interstellar" is really too hard. Once it becomes a commercial movie, I'm afraid many people won't understand it.

It is not convenient to talk about these things at the premiere.

Sometimes you have to admit that there is really a lot of news in the entertainment industry. Wei Jindu has just arrived at the company, and the headlines of the entertainment section have changed again.

Perhaps it’s because youth films have been making too much money in the past two years, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie.

Look, Mr. He from Mango TV is also going to cross over to become a director.

At noon, Mr. He officially announced on Weibo that his new film script "Gardenia Blossoms" is in preparation. Then the official Weibo of Mango TV also liked and reposted the news, and posted a message to express support and expectations!

It has to be said that as the leading local satellite TV station in China, the influence of Mango TV cannot be underestimated.

Of course, it might also be the connections that Teacher He has accumulated over a long period of time.

In short, in just less than an hour, most of the film and television circles were posting and forwarding messages to congratulate and help build momentum.

The industry feels that once the movie is released, it will break the 5 million box office in minutes, and Teacher He will become famous overnight and become another Han Han and Guo Xiaosi.

"Haha, a crossover director chooses a youth film, or copies the model of "My Deskmate". He is quite self-aware. I just hope Mr. He can be more serious."

In the office, Wei Jin sipped his tea and muttered something, apparently still remembering the movie "Xiyouji" that he and Gao Yuanyuan watched together.

That play made him extremely sick, and he took out his anger on Da Meiyuen.

At this time, the assistant knocked on the door and walked in, "Boss, Director Zhang from the Variety Department is here."

"Well, please ask her to come in." Wei Jin nodded in response.

As for the variety show department, because the profits are so astonishing, the two CEOs of the company can only be said to be indirect managers, and Wei Jin is still directly responsible.

After a while, Zhang Yipei, dressed in a professional suit and with a big afro, walked in with a stack of documents.

"Mr. Wei."

"Well, Director Zhang, please take a seat."

Wei Jin nodded and invited Zhang Yipei to take a seat. He still respected those who were capable under his command.

Zhang Yipei had been in the company for several years and was familiar with the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties. He handed over the information in his hand without any ink marks.

"Mr. Wei, here is the proposed guest list for the third season of Flowers and Youth. Please take a look."

After he took the information, he began to look through it, while Zhang Yipei explained from time to time.

In this episode of "Flowers and Youth", in addition to Lu Han and Meng Ziyi who had been confirmed before, Bai Bin, one of the four young actresses, also joined.

The reason why Bai Bin was arranged to participate was mainly because Zhang Xu took into consideration that this girl has been focusing on movies since "Hello, Old Time" and her popularity among the public is somewhat weak.

To be honest, although the box office results of "A Man's Martial Arts" and "The Four" series are still acceptable, the former made a huge profit and the latter made a small profit.

But compared to TV dramas and variety shows, it is still inferior in terms of spreading actors' fame and maintaining their popularity.

In the past two years, even with the blessing of "Joy of Life", Bai Bin's number of fans has hardly increased because it is a group drama with too many female characters. Compared with Yang Mi, who is also one of the four little beauties, her commercial value is much weaker.

Because in today's Internet age, having fans means there is a market and someone will pay for it!

In order to push her studio to go public, some necessary course adjustments had to be made.

Bai Bin fully obeyed the company or Zhang Xu's arrangement. After all, it was for her own good.

In addition, I have been filming for such a long time for half a year and have been busy with various schedules and announcements. If I have a chance to take a break, why not take it?

In addition, there is Li Jie’s good friend Mei Ting, who was also invited by the program team to participate this time because of the huge hit of "Parents' Love" at the beginning of the year.

This is also the current situation of most domestic variety shows. Whoever is popular will be invited, but whether they can come depends on the energy of the producer and the popularity of the show. It can be considered a two-way choice.

Apart from the above four people, the rest of the guests are recommended from outside.

Because the company's artists either have no schedule or are not suitable for this variety show, they can only exchange resources with companies in the industry. This operation is very common in the entertainment industry.

For example, Yang Yang, one of the porters, and Li Qin, another female guest born in the 90s, were recommended by Rong Xingda in exchange for considerable resources.

Li Xiaowan was even worried that the group would not value those resources, so she specially invited Yang Mi and Zhou Xun to act as middlemen.

After all, both of them were from Rongxingda, and they broke up peacefully, so they still have some friendship.

The purpose is not difficult to understand, which is to use this hit variety show to promote the only remaining promising talent that has the potential to become a big hit.

It has to be said that Rong Xingda, which was once a big name in the Beijing circle and had produced Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Yang Mi and others, is now becoming increasingly desolate.

"What's going on?"

When Wei Jin saw the last female guest, his brows slightly frowned. This person doesn't look like she has any resources, right?
"Boss Wei, Wang Lin's agency has advertising cooperation with our group, and their boss specially recommended her.

Although she has not produced many works, the role of Aunt Xue is still quite popular and has a lot of popularity online. She is also of the right age, so I decided to cast her for the time being. If you are not satisfied,

"I'm not dissatisfied, so let's go with her."

Wei Jin interrupted Zhang Yipei and said, it was just a seat for a female guest. There was nothing wrong with the variety show department's consideration and there was no need for him to interfere.

Moreover, the scene where Aunt Xue catches the mistress in "My Fair Princess" is really brainwashing. Now that self-media has just emerged, there are quite a few ghost videos on the Internet, and they are quite popular.

I guess this is one of the reasons why the agency behind her has the confidence to contact her?
However, when talking about Aunt Xue, Wei Jin remembered a novel he had read in his previous life.

The protagonist is similar to himself. He traveled back to the millennium. With so many beauties to choose from, he actually accepted her.

I can only say that this "colleague" has a really unique taste.

Putting away his scattered thoughts, Wei Jin then asked about some relevant recording details, and Zhang Yipei answered them one by one.

With the experience of recording previous seasons, the variety show department is familiar with this program.

According to the program team's plan, this season's recording time is at the end of next month, and the main focus is on traveling to Australia. Coincidentally, the climate in the southern hemisphere in winter is pleasant and suitable for recording.

Traveling along the Gold Coast, I think the ratings will be good with the stunning scenery and beautiful women with unique characteristics.

I just don’t know if the female guests can let go in front of the camera.

"Okay, let's arrange it this way. You can go and get busy first."

"Okay, Mr. Wei."
