During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 733 Return to Berlin Gentle Big Sisters

After a night of unimpeded romance with Liu Shishi, Wei Jin was on the headlines again. And it was because of the celebration party for Operation Mekong.

"The 65th Berlin International Film Festival officially opened registration yesterday, and a striking message appeared on the official website: Welcome Wei Jin Directors Back to Berlin!"

"According to Deutsche Welle, the film "Gone Girl" will be the opening film of this year's Berlin International Film Festival, making its world premiere and competing in the main competition unit of this year's film festival!"

"After Buried, after a lapse of ten years, director Wei Jin once again brought a Chinese-language film to the Berlin Film Festival!"

"Eight years ago, the Chinese film Room won the Palme d'Or and promoted the Central Academy of Drama actress Zeng Li to win the Best Actress award. Can Vanishing Girl replicate this miracle?!"

"."

Early in the morning, the news from Berlin and the reprint reports by domestic media made netizens instantly jubilant.

Especially for fans of Da Meiyu, it was as if it was Chinese New Year. Major forums, Weibo, Tianya and other social networking platforms were all places for them to have fun.

"Great! It's finally my turn to be the beauty. I look forward to the Berlin Film Festival, where the goddess will outshine all the beauties on the red carpet!"

"Five years, five whole years. Do you know how I spent these five years?"

"In "Gone Girl", she will kill anyone who stands in her way. Da Meiyuan is bound to be crowned the queen!"

"I have waited for so long and finally this day has come. I have waited so long and finally my dream has come true."

"."

Wow, the movie was just registered for the competition, but in the eyes of fans, it seems to have won the Golden Bear and the Best Actress award.

However, compared to the jubilation of the fans, the celebrities in the film and television industry, especially the female celebrities, and the production colleagues in the industry, have much more complicated feelings.

Female stars are jealous of Wei and Jin’s ability to promote women, because the Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival, the Oscars, the Tokyo Film Festival, and the Golden Horse Awards are all indisputable facts.

Although it is the Internet age nowadays, awards do not have as much influence on artists as before, and they still rely more on popularity and fans.

But we have to admit that in terms of commercial value, there is still a big difference between artists with awards and those without awards!
Unfortunately, most of them don't get such opportunities.

However, colleagues in the industry are jealous of Wei Jin's ability to make money - "Operation Mekong" has made over 10 billion in profits, and now another movie has come out!
Although "Gone Girl" has not been released yet, it is easy to guess that after the Berlin Film Festival is over, no matter what the box office performance is, the copyright price will probably reach the sky again.

After all, this is Wei Jin's first award-winning literary and artistic film after winning all three major European Grand Slams!
However, despite the sadness in their hearts, the savvy people in the entertainment industry are not slow to react.

Words of flattery, compliments, and wishes for success began to flood Weibo, and most people chose to tag Wei Jin.

Even if the latter rarely has time to reply, one should still show his attitude, right?
In addition, Wei Jin's mobile phones also started to become busy, with text messages, messages, and voice calls almost never stopping.

"Keep calm, this script is great, there's a lot of hope, keep going!"

"Lao Wei, sister, I really need to get a prize-winning movie, please take me with you."

"Boss, your loyal servant is online again!"

"Brother is awesome, I look forward to winning the Golden Bear again, love you!"

"Uncle, sister-in-law also wants to go to Europe"

Wow, Fan Bingbing's seductive voice, coupled with the photo of her wearing a transparent black gauze skirt and pajamas, is really seductive.

In the morning, Wei Jin came out of the bathroom and grabbed Liu Shishi, who was wearing an apron and serving breakfast, and pressed her down on the dining table.
Near noon, Wei Jin sent Liu Shishi, whose blush had just faded, to the airport. She and the "Interstellar" crew still had a few days of activities in Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The next time I come back, it will be for the premiere held in Beijing.

After returning from the airport, Wei Jin went to the company because at the celebration party last night, Guo Fan said that the finished film of "Bad Genius" was released.

Even with Jin Yukun's assistance, this was Guo Fan's first time directing a suspense film, so Wei Jin felt it was necessary to give it a check.

After all, he saw Jing Tian's efforts and hoped that the film would live up to expectations.

When I arrived at Shanhe Shuimo, I saw Guo Fan and Lu Yang, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, chatting.

"Boy, you've been so carefree for so long, and now you're willing to come back?" Wei Jin walked up to him, smiled and punched Lu Yang on the chest.

This guy vowed to participate in the script work of "Assassin 3" and would never fall in the same place twice.

As a result, just a few days after signing the contract with the Central Academy of Drama, he went out traveling. He was gone for nearly a month, which was even more carefree than him, the boss.

"Hey, Brother, don't you always say that good things don't come when you're busy? I'm just going out to change my mind and look for some inspiration."

Lu Yang touched his head, looking nonchalant, which made Wei Jin laugh.

"So what inspiration did you find?"

"Hey, Senior Brother, you're right, I really have some ideas. For example, our war scenes can be borrowed from the European Middle Ages."

"Good fellow, you really figured something out? However, the national conditions and systems in the West are different, and a complete Sinicization may not be suitable for the local conditions. Why don't you do this?"

"Stop, stop, stop, brothers, should we watch Bad Genius first before discussing this?"

Guo Fan, who was standing by, heard Lu Yang start to describe at length what he had just told him, and Wei Jin also joined in the discussion with great interest, so he interrupted the two of them in a hurry.

"Yes, business is important, so let's get started."

Wei Jin nodded, and then looked at Lu Yang who was hesitant to speak, "Don't worry, go back and organize your thoughts, we can talk about it another day."

"Got it!"

In the screening room, the finished film of "Bad Genius" began to play.

Wei Jin remembered that when he was in Hong Kong, he and Guo Fan reviewed the footage and the total footage they shot was nearly four hours.

After the latter's rough and fine editing, the film is now only two hours long.

"Director Jin also gave some suggestions on editing, but he was busy preparing for a new film and didn't come today."

After listening to Guo Fan's explanation, Wei Jin expressed his understanding.

After Jin Yukun got the script of "Fireworks in the Daytime", he did not rush to start the production, but worked meticulously on the storyboard, striving for perfection.

According to Zhong Lifang's report, during the National Day holiday, he even went to the filming location to collect materials, which shows that he was indeed very dedicated.

"Brother, how is it?" After the film was finished, Guo Fan looked at Wei Jin with a little expectation.

"Not bad, the plot is compact, the pace is brisk, and the climax is exciting. You handled it very well."

Wei Jin's evaluation was not low. He noticed that when the film was played just now, many employees who came to join in the fun were watching it very attentively, and they were obviously attracted by the thrilling plot.

Even at the climax, some people couldn't help stamping their feet. It was complete immersion.

It can be predicted that when the movie is released, the box office will definitely not be bad!

"It's good to hear you say that. I was just afraid of ruining this book."

Guo Fan was obviously relieved, but then he became concerned about the release schedule. After all, Shanhe Media has been producing films one after another.

As far as Guo Fan knows, Xue Xiaolu's "Seattle 2", Golden Harvest's "Wushuang", and Ning Hao's "Famous" will probably be released next year.

Including "Yunnan Worm Valley" which is still being filmed by Zhang Yimou, even if the post-production special effects are time-consuming, it is estimated that it will be able to catch the last train next year.

He must seize the opportunity and grab a good schedule, because Lu Yang beside him has suffered from the lack of schedule several times.

"What I mean is that we can release the movie in the middle and late June during the summer vacation. By then, the middle school entrance exam and the college entrance exam will have just ended, and the box office will definitely explode!"

To be honest, if "Bad Genius" wants to achieve the best publicity effect, it must be released when the real event broke out. It would be most appropriate and the gimmicks would be maximized.

But unfortunately, Wei Jin didn’t remember the exact time, so he could only arrange it this way. After all, the summer vacation is also a very popular season.

On the other hand, Guo Fan, who knew nothing about the real events, thought that Wei Jin's suggestions were very pertinent and that this drama was indeed very suitable for riding on the popularity of the junior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination.

"Then listen to my senior brother and schedule it for the summer season."

In the evening, Wei Jin returned to his villa in Yanjiao. After all, he had been out for a week and it was time to come back and check in on the weekend.

However, perhaps it was the "good news" from the Berlin Film Festival that the usually "poisonous" American actress did not show any negative comments this time.

She even hummed a little tune and cooked with Sister Li to make a sumptuous dinner.

Of course, Sister Li was very strict about food, and would at most let Da Meiyuan help out. After all, if the latter was allowed to help, the whole family would have a hard time eating tonight.

So sometimes we have to admit that the Creator is really fair.

However, this also highlights how rare it is to find a woman like Sister Li who is suitable for marriage and family life.

After dinner, Wei Jin tidied up his two children, took a quick shower, and then prepared to talk heartfeltly with his two wives.

When I came to the master bedroom, I saw Zeng Li and Da Meiyuan leaning against the head of the bed, watching TV with relish.

This situation certainly made Wei Jin happy about the friendship between his two sisters, but it also made him feel out of favor, as if he was the redundant one among the three.

Could it be that these two sisters have developed some abnormal relationship with each other because I am often not at home?

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you come up?"

While he was daydreaming, Da Meiyuan's coquettish voice brought Wei Jin back to his senses and he laughed at himself.

"Okay, here we go."

As he spoke, Wei Jin climbed onto the bed, hugged the two beauties in his arms, and enjoyed the pleasure of having two women at the same time.

It was also at this time that he noticed that the TV was playing Zhou Gongzi's "Red Sorghum".

This drama was broadcast on four channels a few days ago: Beijing Satellite TV, Dongshan Satellite TV, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and Shanghai Satellite TV.

Thanks to the original novel winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, the appeal of the gold medal director Zheng Xiaolong, and the gimmick of Zhou Xun, one of the four major actresses, returning to the small screen as the leading actress after many years, "Red Sorghum" has performed quite well in ratings since its launch.

On the day of its premiere, the average viewership of the four major satellite TV stations directly exceeded 1.4, ranking second among local satellite TV stations nationwide in the same period.

"Xiao Jin, I really didn't expect that Mr. Zhou, at his age, could act young without looking out of place. Look at how stubborn he is, wow."

Da Meiyuan's old habit came back again, and she kept smacking her lips, but Wei Jin still explained it.

"What else? When the company is filming, the makeup must be decided in advance. If she is really not suitable, I won't force her to play the role."

To be honest, Zhou Xun, who was born in 74, is already years old this year. When she plays a young girl, she does seem to be pretending to be young.

Even when Zhu Yawen was chosen to play the leading male role, Wei Jin was a little worried, after all, there was a ten-year age difference between the former and Zhou Xun.

Fortunately, Zhou Xun's appearance is relatively childish, and she is in good condition on the screen.

In addition, the male lead Yu Zhan'ao is positioned as mature, so there is really no sense of incongruity when the two of them act together.

At least, it is much better than Zhang Ziyi and married woman Liu Tao in later generations, who still played young girls at an old age, with wrinkles and haggardness on their faces that even skin smoothing and filters could not conceal.

The TV version of Red Sorghum has received very good reviews, including online, with an Impression.com score of 8.1.

Even if it is not as good as some of the company's hit products, that's because there was Gong Li's movie version of Jiuer, so the audience naturally has a critical eye.

After a while, this score will definitely go up.

However, Wei Jin's explanation was like talking to a cow, as the two sisters were now attracted by the plot.

At this moment, on TV, Yu Zhan'ao was carrying Jiuer roughly to the cornfield, trying to force himself on her.

But Jiuer hit him in the vitals with her knee, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

The pain overwhelmed his desire, and Yu Zhan'ao wanted to give up, but he never thought that Jiuer would
Although there was no real shot, the atmosphere affected the two older sisters, and their breathing became heavy even though they were so close.

The two-day weekend passed by in a flash.

In the film market, after a new week, "Operation Mekong" earned another 1.26 million yuan, and the total box office has reached 23.39 billion yuan.

The film's single-day box office remains around 25 million, moving firmly and slowly towards the goal of billion or even higher.

At the same time, as time enters November, the promotion curtain for a number of movies that will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday has also begun.

"Women Who Act Like a Baby Have the Best Luck", "Charlotte's Troubles", "One Step Away", "The Crossing (Part 1)", "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", "Micro Love Is Getting Better", "Fleeting Time".
There are more than a dozen well-known movies and all kinds of related promotional press releases, which are overwhelming.

But today, apparently no piece of news can grab the headlines with the announcement released by China Film!
The cast list of "The Great Wall", which lasted for more than half a month and captured the hearts of the entire film and television industry, has been announced!

After seeing this list, Wei Jin finally understood why a poet as arrogant as Chen was willing to act as a tool.
