During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 741: I will not give up until I reach the Yellow River and whip my sister Danai
The arbitration application filed against Xiaoma Pentium has not affected the upcoming release of "The Crossing (Part 1)" at all.

After all, it is just one of the producers, and the real large share is still in the hands of LeTV and China Film.

However, perhaps it was because the slogans he shouted before were too loud, or perhaps it was because several of his movies failed in mainland China. In order to save his precarious reputation as an "international director", Wu Baige, who is over 70 years old, let the industry see what it means to be strong even at old age!

With only ten days left before the movie was released, he took the main creators Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Ziyi, Song Hye Kyo, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Nagasawa Masami and others to promote the movie, which was a rare event.

However, facing the camera of the reporter, Wu Baige still showed strong confidence, as if he had everything under control.

“Although the competition in this year’s Lunar New Year box office is fierce, I believe The Crossing (Part 1) will still be the biggest winner.

Because there has not been a truly epic film in China so far, "The Crossing" will make up for this regret. It is destined to become a milestone remembered in the history of Chinese-language films, the first epic blockbuster!
We remain optimistic about the box office performance. After all, the potential of the Chinese-language film market is obvious to all. The goal for The Crossing remains unchanged: the total box office for the two films will be guaranteed to be 20 billion yuan at the very least!"

Including the chief producer Han Sanping, although he did not participate in the publicity, he also accepted interviews from the media.

He said: "The Crossing is the Titanic of the East. The box office goal of 10 billion for each of the two films will definitely be achieved!"

Wow, the big director made a public statement, the main actors and actresses of the crew showed their support, and the former chairman of China Film Group stood on the stage
"The Crossing (Part 1)" has become the most powerful blockbuster of this Lunar New Year holiday, completely overshadowing "One Step Away" which is also being promoted.

Almost all the space on major portals and entertainment news pages was devoted to this movie, and even the industry was applauding it.

But Wei Jin never expected that this propaganda slogan, which was just for listening, would actually be believed by some people.

"You mean, several companies, including Fiber Optic, are eyeing The Crossing?"

In the office, Wei Jin looked at Zhong Lifang who had just returned from Xiao Ma with a very surprised tone.

He has complained about "The Crossing" more than once before. Lao Wang should know that this is because the stock price has been doing so well recently, and it has gone up?

"Well, but the two sisters have been forced into a corner. Now they are just like gamblers who have lost all their chips and are desperate. They are just waiting for the release of "The Crossing (Part 1)" and the box office and copyright to sell well, so that they can make a comeback."

According to Zhong Lifang, it wasn't just Fiber Optic, but other companies like Huayi and Star Media were all turned down.

But at this time, Wei Jin also reacted, "So, the copyright issue hasn't been negotiated yet?"

"Well, although they both said nice things like they would give us priority, I guess we have to wait until The Crossing and Fleet of Time are released before considering which assets to liquidate."

"That doesn't matter. There aren't many days left. Let's just wait."

Wei Jin was not determined to win the Xiao Ma. It would be great if he could succeed, but it would be OK if he couldn't, so it didn't matter.

Besides, you can’t force them to give up until they reach the Yellow River, right?

Zhong Lifang, on the other hand, felt a little helpless at this moment. When she met such a person, she really couldn't do anything.

It is true that if you try hard, a bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle.

But once you lose, the price will be different and you won’t even have a bicycle!

Compared with the decline of Pony.com, LeEco Group has been thriving recently and the situation is very good.

Not only were LeEco Cloud, LeEco Sports, LeEco Auto, and LeEco Mobile established in a few months, but LeEco's ecological architecture, which had been laid out for many years, also began to take shape;
Since Boss Jia returned from his overseas inspection earlier this month, LeTV's stock price has continued to rise. It has now exceeded the 50 billion mark and is about to catch up with Huayi.

LeTV, which has a large amount of funds in hand, is also not idle. The newly launched project "Fall in Love with You" has been announced to start filming.

However, I heard that because Huang Xiaoming has two movies "The Best Fortune Comes from Being a Coquettish Woman" and "The Crossing" to be released recently, his role will be adjusted to the later stage of filming.

But just as Wei Jin had expected, the drama and film versions of "Why Sheng Xiaomo" were destined to be compared.

Look, the filming of the movie has just started, and Yang Rong’s fans and Tang Yan’s fans have already started to criticize each other.

Although he has seemed very Buddhist since his debut, he is either filming, traveling, or staying at home.

However, thanks to popular works such as "The Temptation to Go Home", "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Love Me If You Can", the fans that Yang Rong has accumulated over the years cannot be underestimated.

In addition to TV dramas, Yang Rong has also done many works on the big screen. The "Ip Man" series and "The Message" are both win-win works in terms of word-of-mouth and box office!

If she had not been born in 81, her age would be a bit awkward. She would definitely have had a place in the new batch of four young actresses at the beginning of last year.

In addition, the second season of "Sisters Over Flowers" is currently on the air. Yang Rong can be said to have her own traffic, and the strong fighting power of her fans is eye-catching.

In comparison, Tang Yan, whose main work "Chinese Paladin III" was snatched away and who left Orange Sky, even though she has joined the Shanghai capital circle and participated in many works in the past two years, is still no match for Yang Rong in terms of the number of fans and has been beaten back step by step.

As we all know, when actors in the circle step on each other, the usual process is that fans start a group, the real actors start the fight, relatives and friends come to help, and the media breaks the news.

But this time, it's different.

The two main characters, Yang Rong and Tang Yan, the former is in the upper hand and will not take action easily; the latter is concerned about the background of Shanhe Media and has not yet taken action.

But Tang Yan’s “family and friends” joined the battle first, and it was the one that surprised everyone!
In the TV version of "Fall in Love with You", Luo Jin, who plays the second male lead, liked the start-of-filming stills posted by Tang Yan on Weibo, and tagged her to express his anticipation.

My goodness, as soon as the Weibo post came out, Luo Jin instantly became the target of attack by Yang Rong’s fans.

You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, can you really tell which side you are on?! Are you a honey trap set by the enemy?

However, compared to the fans' indignation, the real person Yang Rong behaved very generously, or even gossipy.

"Do you think they are in love?"

Inside the golden house, Yang Rong, whose face was flushed after the joy he had just experienced, had anticipation glittering in his eyes, looking just like a spectator.

However, Wei Jin patted her hips, adjusted her position, and reminded her: "Sister Rong, be careful, don't crush it."

"Huh, you like me so much, but I haven't seen you take the initiative to ask me out? Tell me, how long has it been since the recording of Sisters Over Flowers ended? If I hadn't come to Beijing for this interview, you probably wouldn't even remember me, right?"

Yang Rong's tone was somewhat resentful. She was already 35 years old, so it was normal for her to want to exercise. However, it had been nearly four months since their last intimate moment.

"How could that be? Didn't you feel my passion and longing just now?"

Wei Jin definitely planned to hold Yang Rong, a petite beauty with big breasts and a very long shelf life, for a long time.

But it's really hard to handle too many women, and she likes to stay at home in Shanghai, so she is naturally not the first choice for Wei Jin to seek pleasure.

"Or, why don't you move to the capital? I have a large flat in Ziyuhua Mansion, which is more convenient."

Wei Jin has made a lot of money over the years, and has purchased a lot of high-quality properties in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and other first-tier cities. Some of them have been given to women around him, such as Bai Bin, Huang Mengying, etc.

What's left is almost vacant, waiting to appreciate in value, and it is very easy to use it to accommodate Yang Rong.

Yang Rong was really moved when he heard this.

Although the more than one hour just now satisfied my craving, such a satisfying opportunity is rare.

But after thinking about it, she shook her head again and said self-deprecatingly: "Forget it, there are so many beautiful girls in the capital, where there is no place for me, I might as well stay in the Magic City, where the distant ones are fragrant but the nearby ones are smelly, and you will miss me."

To be honest, although he was rejected, Wei Jin felt relieved. He regretted what he said as soon as he said it.

Because just as Yang Rong said, there are too many women gathering in the capital. Not to mention whether their bodies can handle it, the key is that there is not enough time.

However, Wei Jin's emotional value was still very well expressed. He immediately held Yang Rong's delicate body tight in his arms, his face full of regret and sincerity.

"Okay then. It's up to you. But I promise you that I will come to the Magic City often in the future."

"Then you have to keep your word."

With a little girl's attitude, Yang Rong immediately finalized the matter, and then without waiting for Wei Jin's answer, she immediately added:
"I will also find time to come to the capital, and you must not ignore me when the time comes."

"How could that be possible? Sister Rong, when did you ask me out, and I didn't show up? Doesn't that prove that I like you?"

As if to prove that what he said was true, Wei Jin let Yang Rong feel his enthusiasm while he spoke.

But Yang Rong was horrified, "You are exaggerating, at least let me rest for a while."

Wei Jin raised his lips and said jokingly, "Hey, who was that just now?"

"Hate it, don't say it."

Thinking of the "tiger words" from before, even a big sister like Yang Rong had a hint of shyness on her face.

After lightly hitting Wei Jin, Yang Rong slowly leaned her head on his shoulder, enjoying this luxurious world of two people, which was considered to be hers.

Wei Jin didn't really take it seriously and didn't wait to start the second battle. He just held the beauty in his arms and caressed her carefully.

In this silence and beauty, Yang Rong talked about his recent work and life. Wei Jin listened carefully, responding with a sentence or two from time to time, giving emotional value.

What the two talked about the most, of course, was Yang Rong’s recent work, "Sisters Over Flowers".

This variety show premiered on Shanghai TV at the end of last month. With its strong guest lineup, it has achieved impressive ratings.

It has been climbing all the way from 1.17% in the first broadcast to the fourth episode last weekend, with the ratings close to breaking 2, ranking second in the country after "The Voice of China" in the same time period.

Although this figure has declined compared to the first quarter.

But you have to know that this is the Internet age now, and the ratings data of major TV stations are getting worse every year.

If it can maintain an average score of over 1, it can be called a masterpiece and is one of the trump cards that all major TV stations can show off!

Moreover, according to the variety show department's prediction, as long as the follow-up promotion of "Sisters Over Flowers" keeps up, it is even expected to raise the average ratings to over 2.

And this is also the reason why Yang Rong came to Beijing - because the contract signed between the company and Modou TV is still a gambling contract.

According to the original contract, the two parties used a viewership rating of 0.8 as the baseline. For every 0.2 increase in the average viewership rating, Shanhe Media’s advertising share would increase by 5%.

Considering the current ranking of Shanghai TV among local satellite TV stations in the country, the advertising revenue share is not low. The price for a 9-second advertisement at 15 o'clock has been called out to 1200 million.

In other words, as long as the average viewership of "Sisters Over Flowers" can break 2, Shanhe Media will earn at least tens of millions more.

Thank you to the guests for your hard work. They have been very busy during this period.

As far as Wei Jin knows, many people travel almost non-stop, visiting several cities a week, which is no worse than a movie roadshow promotion.

Even Krystal Jung, who is in South Korea and cannot attend the company's activities, downloaded Weibo to help with publicity and promotion.

However, despite the hard work, Wei Jin estimated that the guests were also enjoying it. After all, it was obvious that such frequent appearances would enhance the status and popularity of the artists themselves.

For example, Janice Man used to be mostly active in Hong Kong, but her popularity in mainland China has been extremely high recently.

There are even many media outlets that have dubbed her the title of "Hong Kong's No. 1 Danny", which has doubled her value.

The same is true for Yang Rong. Although she was popular in the past, she rarely appeared in public, so her fan base was not very strong.

But the exposure during this period has greatly deepened the relationship between her and her fans.

This can be seen from the fact that she was able to suppress Tang Yan.

However, Wei Jin didn't expect that after just a while of chatting, the topic came back again.

"Why are you so gossipy? I'm a big boss, why should I care about other people's private affairs?"

"Who said this is a private matter? Luo Jin is an artist of the company. I heard that Chen Xiao's relationship was ruined by you."

"Nonsense! Bang!"

Wei Jin "furious" and slapped Yang Rong on the buttocks, causing a white wave of buttocks.

I heard the news from Nazar before. He just asked Zhang Xu to expose some negative information about Michelle Chen in a subtle way. How could he have done anything to break up a couple?

All I can say is that this woman has been playing too extravagantly since her debut, and has too many scandals. Chen Xiao couldn't accept it, so he took the initiative to break up with her.

Holding her hips and rubbing them vigorously for a few times, Wei Jin was a little curious, "Where did you hear that? Who is spreading rumors about me?"

"Have you forgotten that I was promoting in Pengcheng before? Little Nazar told me."

"Okay, this Nazar is so careless with her words. Wait until she comes back from filming and see how I deal with her!"
