During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 746 Assistant regrets coming to the Golden Rooster (Subscription Request)

In the capital, inside the Golden House No. 6.

Wei Jin lay on a specially made water bed, closed his eyes and rested, relieving the day's fatigue.

The five assistants, Liu Yan, Huang Mengying, Wang Zixuan, Chen Yuqi and Bao Tianqi, are doing their jobs diligently and responsibly.

Among them, Liu Yan, who had a huge advantage, naturally took the C position. Holding the innate magic weapon wrapped in a palm-wide frosted bra, she gave Xiao Wei a full body massage from top to bottom and from inside to outside.

Wang Zixuan and Bao Tianqi, who also had considerable advantages, clung to Wei Jin naked, soothing his muscles with their soft and hot bodies.

As for Huang Mengying, who had a smaller advantage, she could only use her red lips to move around, but the touch that was sometimes hot and sometimes cold gave Wei Jin great stimulation.

Chen Yuqi, who had the least capital, could not help at all in such an occasion. She could only serve some delicious snacks to Wei Jin, looking a little unhappy.

“Yuqi, talent is given by God, there is nothing we can do about it, but you have a big advantage, at least this is rare, right?”

As Wei Jin spoke, his fingers gently brushed across the smooth holy land, causing Chen Yuqi to shudder all over and her long legs involuntarily came together, but this made people want to explore more deeply.

Knowing that she would not be able to eat the first dish today, Chen Yuqi was afraid that she would be out of shape if she waited too long, so she changed the subject and asked, "Boss, can Sister Zixuan's play really make 10 billion?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Jin clearly felt that several assistants were slacking off to varying degrees, and they obviously had the same doubts.

It's no wonder. Although the ceiling of the current film market continues to rise, there are only about a dozen films that can gross over 10 billion yuan, including several co-productions and imported blockbusters.

As for simple low-budget comedies, only "Nobody" and "Lost in Thailand" have achieved this result.

"Don't worry. When have I ever boasted before? If I wasn't afraid of scaring off my peers in the industry, I would have said I would aim for 15 billion."

What Wei Jin said was not empty talk. In the previous life, this drama had no advantages in terms of publicity, scheduling, and release date, but it still achieved a box office of nearly 15 billion.

Now that Shanhe Media is in charge, even if the film is released a year in advance, the results will definitely be high.

That is to say, considering the fierce competition during the Lunar New Year period, Wei Jincai played it safe and did not set higher goals!

Hearing this, Wang Zixuan's face showed obvious joy, although compared to Bai Bin, she was not as keen on fame and fortune.

But who can avoid it when working in the entertainment industry?
If she can really have a representative movie with a box office success of over 10%, she will completely join the ranks of first-tier stars!
As for the others, Chen Yuqi, Bao Tianqi, and even Huang Mengying, all showed envy on their faces.

They have never appeared on the big screen, let alone in such a successful movie?

Only Liu Yan, whose status as a mother is enhanced by her son, seemed relatively indifferent and was more happy for her good sister Wang Zixuan.

After all, she has planned to move behind the scenes and no longer needs to rely on works to prove her status in the circle.

"Don't worry, Mengying's movie "Lost in Thailand" will also have good box office during the Spring Festival. As for the two of you, don't worry, take your time, everything will work out."

Chen Yuqi and Bao Tianqi had no doubts about the promise made by Wei Jin, and the examples of several predecessors were the best proof.

"Okay, stop chatting. We've almost finished the appetizers. It's time for the main course. What's the schedule for tonight?"

Upon hearing this, several assistants looked at each other, and were at a loss as to what to do. At this time, Liu R&D, the big sister, spoke.

"Let Zixuan and Yuqi come first."

"Alright, then Mengying and Tianqi, you two should work together to take care of your sister Liu Yan first, and the boss will take care of you later."

Wei Jin made the final decision and determined the order of playing cards for tonight.

He believes that the combination of one advantage, big and one small, can also make the game go more smoothly.

At this time, Wang Zixuan had already pressed the youngest Chen Yuqi under her and was ready to start filming.

Because Wang Zixuan knew very well that a strong boss liked to be in control of the situation, and this was obviously more convenient.

Sure enough, the next moment Wang Zixuan felt that familiar hand grasping the advantage and manipulating it at will.

The familiar feeling that followed made her sing out loud involuntarily.

That night, the great director Wei Jin worked tirelessly, performing one scene after another, which took up most of the night. Finally, several assistants were able to enjoy the drama to their heart's content, and all returned home with a full load.
After a night of romance, Wang Zixuan, full of positive energy, started a new round of roadshow promotions.

According to the company's arrangements, at least two weeks of continuous and uninterrupted publicity must be ensured, and the schedule is quite tight.

And the "grand words" that Wei Jin said at the premiere also spread in the circle with the media reports.

However, compared with the past, this time it did not cause much waves.

Because today, everyone in the industry is paying attention to the epic blockbuster "The Crossing (Part 1)" which has just been released.

Countless actors and stars in the film and television circles have been showing off their movie tickets and promoting the film.

To be honest, when Wei Jin saw these Weibo posts on the way to school, he was a little speechless.

"These guys are too hardworking. You have to consider the consequences when you flatter others. Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face?"

Shaking his head, Wei Jin ignored it and walked straight towards the director's office.

I received a call from Lao Jiang yesterday. It seemed like there was something going on, but he was hesitant on the phone and only said we could talk in person.

Wei Jin decided to come over and see what Lao Jiang was up to before his class started.

Wei Jin arrived at Lao Jiang's office with ease. He sat down without any hesitation and went straight to the point.

"Comrade Lao Jiang, if you have anything to say, please tell me now. You are being fussy like a little daughter-in-law."

Seeing Wei Jin being so direct, Lao Jiang was silent for a moment, and said with a kind of "broken jar" attitude:

"I'm in big trouble now! I told you in advance that I didn't want to take this job. I was forced to do it. Don't give me a cold shoulder after hearing this."

At this moment, Jiang Wei really had a thousand horses galloping in his heart. This kind of thing was just bullying him because of his "status and position". Why didn't he have the courage to go to Director Tian?
Listening to Lao Jiang's rambling preparations, Wei Jin finally realized that maybe something really happened.

"Say it, I'll listen."

"Is that so? Over there, let me tell you something: After the Spring Festival, the registration for the Golden Rooster will start and end at the end of May."

"Old Jiang, wait a minute?"

Before Teacher Jiang could finish his words, Wei Jin interrupted him, "You mean those people who rejected my script are now inviting me to participate in the competition with Operation Mekong? Do they still have any shame?"

"That can't be said. Auditing and Golden Rooster are not the same thing."

"Come on, Mr. Jiang, you and I both know the relationship behind this, hehe."

"Oh, don't worry about it. Anyway, this is a mission. They said that as long as you go, you will definitely succeed."

"Lao Jiang, I have already won the Golden Horse, Golden Palm, Golden Bear and Golden Lion, so I don't need the Golden Rooster, so let them save their trouble.

Who knows, maybe before the Spring Festival, I will bring back another Golden Bear or something, you can ask the school to help me prepare the banner first, hehe."

After hearing what Lao Jiang said, Wei Jin refused directly. But then he smiled and changed the subject, not embarrassing Teacher Jiang.

Wei Jin did not hide his dislike for Jin Ji at all, he simply looked down on that group of people!

"I knew this would be the result. Well, I'm just a messenger, so let's just leave it at that." Lao Jiang knew Wei Jin's temper well, so he didn't continue to persuade him, but there was a hint of self-mockery in his words.

"Is there nothing else? Then I'll go to class first." Wei Jin pretended to stand up and prepare to leave.

"Well, that's all. Go ahead." Lao Jiang replied subconsciously.

It was not until he saw Wei Jin's back walking towards the lecture hall that he murmured softly:

"You are still too young and immature. At this point, Operation Mekong is no longer just your business."

As Wei Jin expected, the celebrities who were helping to promote "The Crossing (Part 1)" in the morning were slapped in the face in the afternoon.

Because there have been a large number of negative reviews online, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "public outrage."

"The broken country and the ups and downs of a person, what a good and simple subject! Even if it can't be made into an epic blockbuster, at least it can be made into a beauty in troubled times, right?

But in the end, Wu Baige, you came up with this? All three love lines are broken, the editing is chaotic, and there is no theme at all! "

"To be honest, I am very disappointed! The main plot is messy, the plot is vulgar, and the transitions are abrupt. Huang Xiaoming is like Xu Wenqiang possessed, pretending to be cool, and his lines are also artificial. His performance is too bad. With this level, they have the nerve to make two parts, and even a 3D-IMAX version. Are they trying to make money?"

"Wu Baige, if you still have even the slightest concern for your reputation, you should immediately put this so-called first part online for free, so that everyone can watch the second part as background information. Also, Huang Xiaoming, are you really not going to find a voice actor?"

"He said he wanted to make an epic movie, but deep down, Wu Baige still loves gunfights and fights in the streets. He can't handle such a grand and profound historical background!"

"It's worthy of being directed by the same director who made Red Cliff. When I came out of the theater, I really wanted to slap myself. With such an expensive ticket and more than two hours of time, why not do something else?"

"I agree with the above. I sincerely suggest that everyone should not buy tickets for The Crossing. Otherwise, you will call yourself an idiot. It's so fucking bad!"

"The most disgusting thing is those celebrities. Damn, they shamelessly help promote the film. Don't tell me that I can't tell it's a bad movie. Where's their face?!"

"."

The unanimous negative reviews put all the main creators into silence. They were clearly promoting the film in the morning, but now they were silent.

Because looking at this situation, it's really a bit scary. Anyone who dares to speak out will probably be fired upon by the audience!

Like the main creative team, the chief producer Han Sanping also fell silent.

At this time, Old Han was in a very complicated mood, because he had been quite active in the past two days, promoting everywhere and showing up frequently.

Even yesterday, when he was interviewed, he bluntly said: "The Crossing" is the final work of his career and it will definitely have a perfect ending.

But I never thought that I would be slapped in the face in just one day!
Although the first day's results have not come out yet, looking at the situation, forget about having a perfect ending, and it's real that your reputation will be ruined!
"I regret not listening to the advice of the Wei and Jin dynasties."

Facts proved that Han Sanping's judgment was correct. When the media reports came out the next day, he completely gave up struggling.

"The epic blockbuster "The Crossing", which cost 5 million yuan, suffered a Waterloo on the first day of its release, with both box office and reputation failing!"

"The first day box office of The Crossing (Part 2586) was million, far below expectations! With word of mouth collapsing, the daily box office is likely to continue to decline."

"The Lunar New Year box office is fiercely competitive, and The Crossing (Part 1) may be eliminated early, with little hope of making a profit."

"."

In the office of the chairman of China Film Group, La Peikang's face was gloomy as he looked at the various negative reports on the Internet.

It’s not that the major producers haven’t thought about suppressing these things, but unfortunately they can’t do it!

The secretary standing by seemed to feel the extremely low pressure and was trembling with fear.

But after hesitating for a long time, he still asked, "Boss La, do you still want to continue the promotion that you were planning to expand?"

"Forget it, let's notify the publicity department to withdraw all the manuscripts."

La Peikang took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, then pressed his temples and gave instructions.

Yesterday, he was actually still holding onto a lucky glimmer, thinking that this movie might not have very good reputation, but like the original "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", it could rely on the popularity of the film to hype up the first-day box office.

As long as the performance on the first day is good, the major producers will have reasons and motivation to promote it positively!

But now it seems that "The Crossing" can't even do this, damn Wu Baige!!!

The average screening rate was 37%, but the first day box office was less than million. Isn't this ridiculous?!

At this moment, La Peikang really felt like crying but had no tears.

Because the movie was a big hit, it was Han Sanping's political achievement and credit, and had nothing to do with him.

After all, it was a project that was decided at the end of 11, and no matter how shameless he was, he couldn't just take advantage of it.

But now the movie has failed and the loss is huge, so La Peicon has to cover the loss, because it was during his tenure that the project suffered the loss.
Now that I think about it, Wei Jin's vision was really sharp. He had repeatedly advised us against it when we were expanding the scale of publicity.

Unfortunately, he and Han Sanping were both fascinated by big data at that time and could not listen at all.

At this moment, an idea suddenly popped into La Peikang's mind: Could it be that "The Great Wall" is also facing this situation?

"No, this is different. We have a top Hollywood team, extensive research in the global market, and a guaranteed minimum of $7 million."

Even though he was trying to convince himself, the gloom in La Peikang's heart could not be shaken off.
Wei Jin didn't know that the situation of "The Crossing" actually made La Peikang worry about "The Great Wall" which had not yet started filming.

At this moment, he was reading the statistical report sent by his assistant Chen Yuqi.

Although "Charlotte's Troubles" has just been released and the summary data from all parties has not yet appeared, the audience and attendance rate of its own theaters can serve as a reference.

When Wei Jin saw that the attendance rate for the morning show was as high as 45%, he knew that this wave was a sure thing.

After making a few phone calls to some familiar cinema chain executives, Wei Jin estimated that the film's reputation would gradually grow with the feedback from the first batch of audiences.

As long as the subsequent screenings keep up, it is not impossible to achieve the dark horse myth and dominate the entire Lunar New Year box office!
"Dong dong dong~~~"

At this time, there was a knock on the door and Zhong Lifang, the group's vice president, walked in.

"Boss Wei, Chairman Xiao Ma just called me and asked me to come over for a chat."

"Haha, it seems like you've figured it out on the first day and you're not going to wait for 'Fleet of Time' anymore?"

Hearing the sarcasm in Wei Jin's words, Zhong Lifang was speechless. If she had known this would happen, why did she do it in the first place?

"Okay, Mr. Zhong, go and negotiate, and try to get all the things we agreed on in one go."

Although people may ridicule others, the Wei and Jin dynasties did not joke with interests. After all, even a small mosquito is still meat.

Besides, the amount of meat that Xiao Ma has is not small.

"Understood, President Wei, I'll go right away."

After saying this, Zhong Lifang bowed and said goodbye.

But she knew very well that this time, the conditions were not so good.
