During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 822 Want a Second Child? Impulsiveness is the Devil
During the National Day holiday, three animated films—"Polar Counterattack," "Legend of the Sky Eye," and "Balala the Fairies"—were released simultaneously.

Unfortunately, even with the holiday bonus, it still couldn't shake the rivalry between "Project Gutenberg" and "Lost in Hong Kong"!
Moreover, due to the overall market activity, the box office momentum of the two films became increasingly formidable, with the former's daily revenue rising to 1.5 million and the latter recovering to 1.23 million!
However, after three consecutive days, both films occupied more than 90% of the total market share, causing great distress and complaints in the film production industry!

Many industry peers have even suggested to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television that the release schedules for imported films be adjusted.

By releasing "Inside Out," "Ant-Man," and "Peter Pan" earlier, the release dates in the second half of October and the first half of November will be reserved for small and medium-sized production companies.

In their words, "Project Gutenberg" and "Lost in Hong Kong" have already made a killing, so it's time for others to have a taste of the good stuff.

"To put it bluntly, this is just someone who's incompetent, envious, and jealous. Didn't they bring up the old story about Lao Xu, Bao Qiang, and Huang Bai again? They can't explain themselves no matter how hard they try."

In the private room of the restaurant, Ning Hao, still sporting a thick gold chain and looking like a gangster boss, started complaining to Wei Jin.

Ning Hao also encountered many envious people in the industry when "Breakup Buddies" was a huge hit at the beginning of the year.

Even his personal scandals of getting drunk in nightclubs were mentioned all over the place back then, and he was often exploited and forced to perform sexual duties when he got home.

Seeing that "Project Gutenberg" and "Lost in Hong Kong" have encountered such a thing, it's natural to want to stand up for them!
Wei Jin, however, didn't care at all. The barking of these people was meaningless—with both movies having the potential to gross over 15 billion yuan at the box office, the higher-ups must have gone mad to pull this stunt!

He smiled, raised his glass, clinked it with Ning Hao's, and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, senior brother, let's not talk about these unhappy things."

Your filming has just wrapped up, so post-production shouldn't take too much work. Just stay home and rest for a few days.

Today is the wrap party for "Mr. Donkey". The film was shot in Northwest China for nearly two months. Wei Jin saw Ning Hao looking exhausted and couldn't help but ask him a question.

Unexpectedly, Ning Hao did not appreciate it and immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"No, I'd better get to post-production right away. You have no idea how I've survived the past two months. If it weren't for the filming commitments, I..."

Ning Hao paused here, seemingly a little embarrassed to speak, then took another sip before leaning closer and whispering an explanation:
"Now that the two-child policy is in effect, your sister Na is considering it. I'm still trying to persuade her not to stay home. Isn't staying at home just sending a lamb to the slaughter?"

"Well, it's not good for you to stay in Shanhe Shuimo all the time. You can't just not go home at night, can you?"

"Don't worry about that. If all else fails, I'll go hide with Huang Bai for a while. It's better than dying at home. Men, once they get old, it's really..."

"Okay, then I won't interfere. Just take it easy."

"Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering." Wei Jin didn't want to meddle in the family affairs of the couple, so he picked up his wine cup and drank with Ning Hao again.

Of course, while drinking with Ning Hao, Wei Jin didn't neglect the rest of the crew, clinking glasses with everyone every few minutes.

It must be admitted that most directors in the industry prefer to use acquaintances, but Ning Hao is especially so.

More than half of the actors in the entire cast of "Mr. Donkey" are familiar faces.

Ren Suxi, the female lead, goes without saying. She is a stage actress and has worked with the production team of "The Nameless," making her the perfect choice.

The other actors are mostly regulars in Ning Hao's previous films.

For example, Wang Shuangbao and Bado, a character actor, both gave outstanding performances in films such as "Racing" and "The Great Buddha".

For example, Yang Xinming and Huang Jingyi, who didn't have many scenes in "No Man's Land".

The former is a national first-class actor, and his portrayal of the pastor in "Dying to Survive" was quite good; the latter is also a pillar of the Ningxia Drama Troupe, and his acting skills are top-notch.

On the contrary, Wei Jin was meeting Zhou Sheng, the assistant director and guest actor in the production team, for the first time.

However, upon their first meeting, this drama director, a graduate of the Directing Department of the Central Academy of Drama, left a deep impression on Wei Jin.

Zhou Sheng, born in Shanghai, was admitted to Zhejiang University as the top science student, but chose to study directing at the Central Academy of Drama. After graduating, he also pursued a master's degree at the Central Academy of Drama.

During his university years, he began to write, direct, and act in various stage plays, and has been deeply involved in this field for more than 10 years.

Judging from Ning Hao's words, Zhou Sheng's basic directing skills are quite good, and he is especially good at screenwriting.

Over the years, I have put together seven or eight well-received plays, stage productions, and musicals.

Wei Jin pondered that he should have Zhong Lifang assess her. If she was truly capable, they could strengthen their cooperation; after all, she could be considered a backup talent.

After a satisfying meal, Ning Hao suggested a second round, but Wei Jin did not participate because Fu Guihua, who had been away from Beijing for over a month, had just landed.

Wei Jin had previously arranged for a security team under Zhu's command to pick him up at the airport, and they were probably already home by now.

After waving goodbye to Ning Hao and the others, Wei Jin sped off towards Dongshan Villa.

As expected, as soon as Wei Jin arrived at the place, he opened the door and saw Fu Guihua standing prettily in front of him.

Without exchanging many words, the two naturally embraced and kissed.

The hot breath of the hibiscus flower hit Wei Jin's face, carrying a fragrant scent that was intoxicating.

As Wei Jin's movements became gentle and the intimacy deepened, Fu Guihua became engrossed in the moment, holding him even tighter.

Jing Tian really enjoyed the feeling of embracing and kissing Wei Jin; it was warm and made her feel very safe.

She slightly raised her fair swan neck, and the black lace-trimmed shoulder strap unconsciously slipped off her snow-white shoulders.

For a moment, the living room of Dongshan Villa was filled with the colors of spring.

However, Wei Jin was very patient with women, especially with wealthy women who held a special place in his heart.

From the age of 16, over a decade of getting to know each other, Wei Jin witnessed her transformation from an innocent and carefree girl into a woman.

The 'Wealthy Flower' of today no longer possesses the naivety of its early days, but rather a charm that, like fine wine, has matured with time, leaving one with an intoxicating allure.

He gently picked up the girl and carried her step by step toward the bathroom.
"Ah~~"

Perhaps it was the scented candles prepared in advance in the bathroom and the essential oils applied to each other that made people feel particularly relaxed;

Or perhaps it's the natural fragrance of fresh jasmine petals in the bathtub that's intoxicating.

It was only because Wei Jin considered that soaking in the water for too long was not good that he carried the limp Fu Guihua to the bed.

Jing Tian, ​​with her hair piled high, nestled lazily in Wei Jin's arms, chattering about her recent work and life.

Wei Jin's attentive listening and occasional concern and responses brought Jing Tian an unprecedented sense of relaxation. The fatigue from the past few days seemed to vanish, and her delicate face appeared even more gentle.

"By the way, brother, when will our movie be released? A lot of my fans are asking about it."

"No rush. Since it's a romance film, it would be better to release it on Valentine's Day or Qixi Festival. I'm considering releasing it next year on Qixi Festival."

In fact, Wei Jin had planned to release the film on Qixi Festival this year, but was persuaded by Zhong Lifang.

In her words, the romance film starring Wei Jin and Jing Tian deserves a better release date.

After all, this year's Qixi Festival is already at the end of the summer movie season, so its potential is limited and it would be a waste.

As for next year's Valentine's Day, it's right after the Spring Festival, so the competition will be too fierce. Besides, he will probably be busy filming "The Wandering Earth" at that time.

All things considered, it's not a good choice.

"Huh? It takes so long?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Jin pinched Fu Guihua's delicate and pretty face. "Silly girl, the longer we keep our romance film together hidden, the more the audience will anticipate it, right? Besides, don't you want to compete with Yifei in the same time slot?"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Jing Tian immediately had no objections, and even a fighting spirit rose in her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Guihua picked up her phone and started typing away.

Wei Jin knew without even looking that Liu Yifei was being provoked, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"By the way, Tian Tian, ​​how long are you staying this time?"

"Xiao Ming has to leave right after his wedding; Paris Fashion Week is starting, and he'll have to stay there for a few more days. Yi Fei should be going too."

While replying to text messages, Jing Tian chatted casually with Wei Jin.

"I see, then let's..."

"what?"

Before Wei Jin could finish speaking, Jing Tian let out a soft gasp.

"what happened?"

"Brother, look."

Wei Jin glanced at his phone screen and raised an eyebrow. It turned out that Luo Cheng, the Silver Spear and White Horseman, had posted a short essay on Weibo.

But unlike ordinary people who write lengthy articles to accuse others, Nie Yuan is publicly apologizing for his public provocation case from six months ago.

In mid-March, he and some friends had a small get-together after participating in the recording of a variety show.

Whether it was because he drank too much or something else, he got into a conflict with a taxi driver right outside the hotel.

Moreover, they started fighting over a minor disagreement, and the three of them beat up the driver.

After the incident was exposed by the media, he was subjected to a barrage of criticism online. It was only because of the ongoing conflict between Wu Jing and the EXO team that he barely escaped unscathed.

However, this incident caused his reputation, which he had built up over the years, to plummet, and he became embroiled in lawsuits. It is said that he has not received any invitations for more than half a year.

Now that the court has issued its verdict, he will probably apologize again under the arrangement of his management team, in an attempt to win back public favor.

"Impulsiveness is the devil. This resulted in a seven-month sentence with a one-year suspended sentence."

Jing Tian's pretty face showed a sigh, "When I visited Li Chun on the set of 'The Legend of Da Yu'er' last year, I felt that she was a very polite person. I never expected her to do something like this."

"In the entertainment industry, it's common practice to treat people differently based on their status."

Wei Jin commented once, without saying much more, because Jing Tian had been labeled as a "Jin Girl" since her debut, so she naturally felt that everyone around her was a good person.

But in fact, although this person has good acting skills, his temper and personality are not very good.

His reputation within the industry has always been poor, with numerous negative labels such as "domestic abuser of his ex-wife" and "scumbag in a five-way love affair."

This is also why he has always been overshadowed by male actors of the same age, such as Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Qiao Zhenyu, and Tong Dawei!

Having a criminal record is even worse now. Even if you're not classified as a disgraced celebrity, your career is basically over.

At least, he will be excluded from all film, television and variety show projects of Shanhe Media.

"Alright, Tian Tian, ​​stop worrying about other people's business. The night is too short, let your brother take good care of you."

As Wei Jin spoke, he placed his phone on the bedside table.

His gaze towards the girl held a hint of passion; after all, Mr. Wei hadn't quite had his fill of admiring the flowers in the water earlier.

With Jing Tian's return to Beijing, Boss Wei's holiday became even more fulfilling.

They were either cultivating immortality and admiring flowers, or strolling in the garden and tasting pears. Occasionally, they would go hiking at Liu Yan's place or go to Yan Danchen's house to refine pills. They couldn't be happier.

Meanwhile, in the external film market, "Project Gutenberg" and "Lost in Hong Kong" have been "bullying" the market!
It earns hundreds of millions every day, absorbing more than 90% of the box office revenue, and suppressing other films released at the same time, to the point that there is very little related information.

On the contrary, the entertainment gossip section is quite lively, with the entire entertainment industry and the internet seemingly discussing the preparations for Huang Xiaoming's wedding.

Unlike traditional weddings for ordinary people, this one represents lovers entering the hall of marriage, symbolizing the beginning of love transforming into family affection.

Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying's wedding was more like a grand carnival specially organized for the entertainment industry.

Different stories were revealed by the media every day, so much so that the wedding dominated the top ten trending topics for several days in a row!

Such things as "6-carat crown wedding ring", "an antique crown, a treasure from a French jewelry museum", and "a complete set of top-tier luxury jewelry".
In short, the wedding generated a lot of buzz, with some media outlets even calling it the "wedding of the century."

Of course, judging from the disclosed guest list, this wedding certainly lives up to its name.

Looking around, the invited guests came from various regions including Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, and were involved in the film and entertainment industry, sports, performing arts, media, and business.
Even if the scale and quality of the guests cannot compare to the "wedding of the century" between the diving queen and the third generation of Hong Kong's elite, from the perspective of the entertainment industry alone, no one can surpass it!
However, by this point, everyone in the industry understood the significance of this wedding—that is, in addition to witnessing "love," it also carried huge commercial attributes, including advertising, business development, endorsements, and sponsorships.
The couple would accept anything that could be related to the wedding; they wanted connections, money, and extravagance—they wanted it all!
