During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 789: The Two Beauties of Northern Frontier Reunite – Are They the Five Beauties of "Ode to Joy" or a Harem?

The aftershocks of the inaugural China Film Golden Film Awards, after fermenting overnight, finally began to generate heated discussions the following day.

To Wei Jin's and the organizing committee's delight, the awards ceremony generated a great deal of buzz and sparked widespread discussion and attention.

There were dozens of trending topics on Weibo, Zhihu, Tieba and other related platforms, making it arguably the hottest topic in the entertainment industry in the first half of the year.

The Baidu search index for the awards ceremony also surged, with related data and page views far exceeding expectations.

In particular, the reunion of the four Jin Girls, the reunion of the four Heavenly Kings, and many nostalgic photos of them together have been widely circulated by netizens and even elevated to a pedestal.

However, while the awards ceremony generated buzz, it focused more on the gossip and performances, while the real core awards were somewhat overshadowed and relegated to a supporting role.

It's understandable; new awards are like this when they first start. Without several years of gradual accumulation, it's difficult to generate sufficient credibility.

At least the reputation of the Golden Film Award has been established, and Wei Jin and Tian Zhuangzhuang's hard work has not been wasted.

Of course, while it can't compare to the buzz surrounding the gossip, the awards still garner some attention.

The film received numerous positive reviews from netizens and industry insiders, with the most frequently mentioned keywords being "fair and just," "in line with expectations," "most of the award-winning films were familiar to me or I had seen them," and "of high quality."
Overall, the inaugural Chinese Film Golden Reel Awards were quite successful. While we can't say it has surpassed the three major Chinese film awards, it has at least gained momentum.

The next step is to maintain our core strengths, and on the basis of fairness and impartiality, generate as much buzz as possible, grow bigger and stronger, and strive to become a top-tier award recognized by the Chinese film industry as soon as possible!
On this point, the Wei and Jin dynasties maintained great confidence!
After the awards ceremony ended, many celebrities left one after another, including Zeng Li, Gao Yuanyuan, and Liu Yan, who also missed their children at home and went straight back to Beijing.

Jing Tian wanted to stay and wander around some more, but Guo Fan conscripted her.

With "Bad Genius" about to be released and the promotion already underway, Jing Tian is definitely going to be the female lead.

After all, the competition this summer is incredibly fierce, it's like a meat grinder!

There are several imported films alone, including "Collapse", "Rush", "Jurassic World", "Divergent 2", and "Fatal Showdown".

As for domestic films, there are more than 20, including many well-known works.

If Guo Fan wants to take his career to the next level with "Bad Genius," then he needs to promote it well, right?

Liu Yifei, who had nothing to do, stayed in Chang'an with Wei Jin for a few more days.

The reason why the Wei and Jin dynasties remained was mainly for social obligations.

After all, the local authorities were very supportive of this event, providing almost full support, so Mr. Wei had to reciprocate.

Of course, hosting such a large-scale event also brings great benefits to the local area. It can not only boost the development of the tourism economy, but also create a local brand, which is definitely a win-win situation.

Therefore, Wei Jin received the highest level of hospitality during his stay of several days.

We talked a lot about the project and drank a lot of wine. Only Wei Jin had an amazing physique; otherwise, most people really couldn't handle it!
Wei Jin held on, but Liu Yifei was starting to struggle.

Because Wei Jin was already physically strong, his fighting power became even more unparalleled after drinking. He tormented her every night until she was exhausted and could no longer withstand his charms!

So when she returned to Beijing on the 3rd, the girl made an excuse that she had made an appointment with Shu Chang to see a movie and then disappeared without a trace.

Only Mr. Wei was left to attend the celebration banquet for "Wolf Warrior" that night.

The film successfully ended its run a week ago, with a final box office of 7.77 million yuan—a very auspicious number.

Although Wolf Warrior did not receive a higher share of box office revenue due to production costs, even with a 43% share, the production company still received a whopping 3.06 million yuan.

According to the original agreement, Shanhe Media invested 70 million yuan, accounting for 7000%, which directly generated a profit of nearly 1.5 million yuan.

Including revenue from copyright, product placement, special effects, and distribution, Shanhe Media's net profit is close to 2 million yuan.

Even if the return on investment isn't too high, it's still a huge profit!
Of course, while Boss Wei made a fortune, Wu Jing also made a small profit.

The investment of ten million not only yielded a net profit of sixty to seventy million, but also made him a member of the 7 million director club. The smile on Zhanlang's baby face was completely undisguised.

However, compared to Ning Hao's stinginess, Wu Jing was very generous, and he didn't hesitate at all when Wei Jin proposed a ten million yuan red envelope.

So when Wei Jin and Wu Jing smashed the number ice sculpture and distributed red envelopes, the atmosphere inside the Royal Dynasty Hotel was incredibly jubilant.

During the banquet, many members of the crew came over to toast. Wu Jing, who was the director, lead actor, and producer, was naturally the first to be toasted, but Wei Jin also drank quite a bit.

Since Ni Dahong, Yu Nan, and other crew members, as well as the members of "Running Man" who came to support them, are basically old acquaintances, how could they refuse to drink when they offered them a toast?
"By the way, Mr. Wei, you probably didn't know, did you? The TV series version of 'Tracks in the Snowy Forest' has been approved, and they've invited Mr. Ni to play the role of Zuo Shandiao. It finally fulfills one of his wishes, haha."

"Oh? That's great! Teacher Ni's acting skills are superb; he'll definitely be able to create a classic portrayal of Zuo Shandiao."

The copyright of "Tracks in the Snowy Forest" is complicated. Shanhe Media only acquired the film adaptation rights at the beginning.

With the film now a box office hit, it's only natural that other production companies would capitalize on this momentum and release a TV series version, which Wei Jin found unsurprising.

"Mr. Wei, you flatter me. I just hope you don't ruin a classic, hahaha."

"Teacher Ni is too modest."

After chatting for a while, other people came over to offer toasts, but Wei Jin's attitude was different. He only took a small sip because he didn't know them very well.

At this moment, Wu Jing, whose face was flushed after drinking a round of wine, walked over with a bald man.

"President Wei, this is my childhood friend, Zhou Xiao'ou. We didn't happen to meet at the start of filming or the premiere, but he's a really loyal guy."

Wu Jing launched into a long introduction, implying that he hoped Wei Jin would give him a chance, even if it was just a cameo or a minor role.

Zhou Xiaoou, somewhat embarrassed, touched his bald head, picked up his wine glass, and downed a glass in one gulp.

"Mr. Wei, hello, nice to meet you. Please take care of me."

"Hello, Teacher Zhou. I've heard your songs, they're quite good. Hmm, maybe we can collaborate sometime."

Wei Jin nodded and drank a cup with him.

He didn't think Wu Jing's actions were rash; who in the industry doesn't have a good friend?
Actually, this isn't the first time Zhou Xiaoou and Shanhe Media have collaborated. He participated in a previous season of "Singer" and achieved a good ranking.

However, this was the first time he had collaborated with an actor in "Wolf Warrior," and he only made a cameo appearance for a few minutes.

To be fair, although he is a self-taught actor, Zhou Xiaoou's acting skills are really good, even more so than many formally trained actors.

Including Sha Baoliang and Jacky Cheung, who also came from other fields, their acting skills are outstanding, which also proves that being an actor really depends on talent.

After a hearty meal and drinks, Wei Jin, along with Naza, who had also attended the victory celebration, returned to Hongxi Terrace.

This is a property that Wei Jin purchased a few years ago, and it is now Naza's residence in the capital.

Mr. Wei never mistreats the women who follow him, especially those he intends to keep long-term.

Wei Jin hadn't expected his little sweetheart to be so thoughtful, actually preparing a surprise for him! "Rouba, what are you doing here?"

That's right, the one who squatted down to change her shoes was Rouba, one of the two beauties of Northern Xinjiang.

At this moment, Rouba was wearing a sexy halter-neck nightgown, and her unrestrained, snow-white heart completely attracted Wei Jin's attention.

“Brother, filming for ‘Darker 2’ has just finished. I just arrived in Beijing. In a couple of days, I’ll be going to Tianjin to do a cameo role for Sister Mi.”

Rouba explained very obediently, and Nazar added, "Brother, when you texted me, Rouba was chatting with me, so I asked her to come over first."

Seeing Nazar's smug look, Wei Jin reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, kneading her pert buttocks, and praised, "Nazar is so sensible. It's no wonder your brother has spoiled you."

Wei Jin was genuinely happy, not only because of Nazar's thoughtfulness, but also because the two of them got along very well.

"What about me, brother? Am I being unreasonable?"

Rouba, who was standing next to Wei Jin, also hooked her arm around his and pouted her little mouth in a coquettish manner.

She had discovered that this man had a natural excitement about her and Nazar, and as his position became more and more secure, he could be a little bolder.

Sure enough, the next moment Rouba felt a hot, large hand covering her delicate body.

"How could that be? Rouba is very sensible; he'll get a reward tonight."

"Hmm~"

Rouba's coquettishness made Naza a little jealous. Her little hands moved nimbly up and down, trying to help Wei Jin take off his clothes.

"Brother, I've already prepared the bathwater. Shall we take a bath together to relax?"

"Well, that's fine too."

Unlike the specially designed bathrooms in Jinwu and Yanjiao villas, the bathrooms in this low-rise apartment in Hongxitai are not as spacious and cramped.

During his bath, Mr. Wei only did some preparations; the card game ultimately took place in the bedroom.

Although it was their second time working together and their teamwork was still a little lacking, Wei Jin had to admit that the buff from the two beauties of the Northern Frontier was too strong.

With the added effect of alcohol, Mr. Wei seemed to be invincible, his enthusiasm was extremely high, and the card game lasted for nearly two hours.

After the lovemaking, Nazar was like a lazy kitten, not even wanting to move his little finger. It was Rouba who took the initiative to clean up the mess.

However, as the saying goes, "one is influenced by one's company," and Rouba, who joined Mixing Entertainment, is clearly more career-oriented than Nazar, who is obsessed with romance.

After finishing her work gently, she nestled in Wei Jin's arms and tentatively brought up the "Ode to Joy" project.

The pre-production preparations for this drama are basically complete, and the script review has also been completed. In fact, Rouba is not the only one who has come to Wei Jin to inquire about information these days.

Looking at the expectant look in the little girl's eyes, Wei Jin cruelly shook his head, "Rouba, the roles for this play have almost all been decided."

Wei Jin's words were not a hoax, because the drama "Ode to Joy" was originally created for the company's female artists, and the roles were selected from the very beginning of the project.

Among them, Andy, a Wall Street elite, will be played by Wan Qian; and Fan Shengmei, a complex and profound character, will be played by Yang Rong.

Both of them have undeniable acting skills, and their age and appearance are quite suitable. As soon as Jiang Xuerou suggested it, Wei Jin immediately made the decision.

The characters Qiu Yingying and Guan Guan, one a naive and innocent newcomer to the workplace and the other a well-behaved girl from a wealthy family, are both suitable for promoting newcomers and will be played by Li Yitong and Hu Bingqing.

After all, both girls had slept with him, so Wei Jin wouldn't be stingy with the resources he deserved, especially since they were such suitable partners.
As for the original actress Yang Zi, the company has arranged other projects to compensate her.

That leaves the somewhat crazy character Qu Xiaoxiao, who hasn't been cast yet, but she's clearly not suitable for Rouba.

According to Wei Jin's plan, it would be better to bring in external artists, otherwise the five beauties of "Ode to Joy" would really become his harem!
"Is that so?"

Rouba's face clearly showed disappointment, and he also regretted signing with Mixing Entertainment, because he was ultimately separated from Wei Jin by a layer.

But the next second, a surprised smile bloomed on the girl's face, because Wei Jin had promised that there would be a TV series with her as the female lead.

"Brother, is it true?"

"Yes, but it'll probably start next year."

The drama that Wei Jin promised is the role that Rouba is destined for in "Pretty Li Huizhen". The branch office had been contacted beforehand.

However, the Korean version of "She Was Pretty" has not yet premiered, and the production company is unwilling to sell the remake rights now, so they can only wait.

In addition, Wei Jin remembered that Li Ruixi was also in this play, and he would arrange for her to be included as well, which would be a kind of compensation for that night.

"It's okay, I can wait, thank you, brother."

As they were talking, Rouba was about to lean in and offer a kiss, but Wei Jin decisively refused, after all, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs.

Seeing this, Rouba simply smiled charmingly and obediently lowered her head, showering Wei Jin with boundless tenderness.

At this moment, Nazar also came over, rubbing her pert buttocks against him and saying coquettishly, "Brother, Rouba has a new drama, what about me?"

"Yes, of course I have. How could my brother forget you?"

As Wei Jin spoke, he leaned close to Naza's ear and whispered a few words, mainly because he didn't want Rouba to hear, since this play was about sugar figurines.

At the Golden Film Awards banquet, Wei Jin was unable to get intimate with Liu Shishi due to the "tyranny" of the four empresses.

But as the host, he also chatted for a few minutes with the group of sugar figurines who came to support him.

According to Ms. Cai, Tangren's new project, "Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox," is about to be launched, and they are seeking further cooperation.

Although Wei Jin did not agree to the investment, it shouldn't be a problem to put a female lead in the role.

Besides, given Nazar's current popularity, Ms. Cai is the one who got a good deal.

However, after hearing this, Nazar hesitated, "Brother, will she bully me?"

As an artist under Shanhe Media, Naza is well aware of the clashes between Liu Shishi, Jing Tian, ​​and Liu Yifei.

In her view, although Liu Shishi was utterly defeated by Jing and Liu, it would be too easy for her to make things difficult for herself.

"Don't worry, I'm going to Shanghai in a few days, everything will be arranged."

Seeing the confidence on Wei Jin's face, Naza also put aside her reservations and took the initiative to offer him a kiss.

That night, the two beauties from the northern frontier, having secured the resources, worked exceptionally hard, allowing Boss Wei to once again enjoy imperial treatment.
