During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 840 Tonight, whatever you want is fine.

"Crack!"

On the set of Oriental Movie Metropolis, a scene had just begun when Wei Jin yelled "Cut!"

While everyone was confused, Wei Jin picked up a megaphone and stood on a high place.

"Listen up, everyone. The extras' steps shouldn't be so synchronized. You're not soldiers, you've all seen train stations during the Spring Festival travel rush, right? Just follow that scene."

But avoid crowding and noise, and especially avoid playing around, because it's the end of the world, and everyone's mood is low and lifeless.

To be honest, although the Oriental Movie Metropolis is very large and its hardware facilities are much better, it still falls short of professional cinemas.

Putting everything else aside, the quality of the extras alone is far too poor, and this is already the result of careful selection. We can only put up with it.

"Let's start over."

As Wei Jin finished speaking, the production team resumed their intensive work.

Under the guidance of the production assistants and the executive director, the extras returned to their pre-production positions; meanwhile, the crane camera in the distance was slowly adjusted in position under Dong Jingsong's control.

Five minutes later, everything on set was ready, and filming resumed.

This time it went pretty well; nothing went wrong, and we passed it in one go.

The crew then took a fifteen-minute break to prepare for the upcoming scenes in the underground city.

However, the lighting technicians on the team were busy because, according to Wei Jin's requirements, they needed to adjust and correct the lighting in the underground city.

In the final cut of "The Wandering Earth", almost all shots lack the natural light and colors found in the real world.

After all, it has been wandering in space, and the sun is about to go out. The environment is different, so the light and color are naturally different as well.

During this time, Wei Jin checked the industry news and saw the news about the celebration banquet for "Lost in Hong Kong".

It must be admitted that people are in high spirits when they are happy, and there is absolutely no problem with that. Old Wang was in high spirits at the scene.

Of course, looking at the numbers in the ice sculpture, Boss Wei was also very happy, as he had at least 300 million in revenue sharing.

Unfortunately, Old Wang is a bit stingy. We asked him to advance the payment as the issuer, but he actually said that Fiber Optics couldn't afford it. Damn it.

"Boss, everything is ready."

Chen Xi's reminder brought Wei Jin back to his senses. He looked around and saw that Li Xian and Sun Qian's makeup and costumes were complete, and all the extras were ready.

So he picked up the megaphone and gave instructions.

"Attention all units, 30 seconds countdown."

"action!"

·····
The filming of "The Wandering Earth" proceeded smoothly, and the casting for "Sheep Without a Shepherd" was also finalized.

With Wen Mu's deliberate favoritism, Xiao Song got the role as she wished and, accompanied by her mother, went to Shanhe Building to sign the contract.

There was no other way; she was a minor, and a guardian had to be present.

"Ms. Song Zuer, according to the contract, you need to reserve a month's schedule, and filming will start in mid-November. You understand that, right?"

"Yes, I understand, I will reserve it."

Xiao Song breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, due to Gong Li's schedule, the filming of "Sheep Without a Shepherd" started relatively early, otherwise he might have missed the variety show.

"Okay, let's talk about your salary. It's 500,000. 40% will be paid today, 30% after you join the crew, and the balance will be settled after filming is finished. Any objections?"

"No, no, thank you very much."

Neither Xiao Song nor her mother had any objections, because the price was not low, and for Xiao Song right now, having resources was more important than anything else!
"Okay, then let's put our handprints on it."

"Okay, okay."

Fifteen minutes later, standing downstairs at the Shanhe Building, looking at the contract stamped with the official seal in her hand, Xiao Song's mother had an exceptionally bright smile on her face.

"Great! After so many years, we finally have our first collaboration. And once we have the first, there will be a second, a third, hahaha!"

"Yes, Mom, you're right. I'll have more and more opportunities and better and better resources in the future!"

Xiao Song knew very well that as long as she could continue to satisfy that man's needs, she would never lack resources. Perhaps in a few more years...
Seeing Song's confident demeanor, Song's mother gave her some more instructions.

"My dear daughter, when you go to the film crew, don't forget what your mother taught you: you must have a sweet tongue and get along well with the teachers."

Especially Zeng Li, she's a "Jin Girl" (a term referring to women from Shanxi province who are considered attractive to men). If she could take care of you, she'd be much more useful than your cousin.

At this point, Song's mother showed a look of disgust, "I've raised this ungrateful wretch for so many years and he still can't be tamed, humph!"

Xiao Song pretended not to hear the second half of the sentence and obediently replied, "Mom, don't worry, I will."

"Okay, let's go home, Mom will make you something delicious."

"it is good."

······
After the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, the assistant Chen Yuqi, with great awareness, tidied up the set and maintained the equipment.

A contented Bai Bin nestled lazily in Wei Jin's arms, sharing stories of his work and life over the past few months.

Knowing the importance of tenderness afterward, Wei Jin played with Bai Bin's graceful figure, his face showing an attentive expression, and occasionally giving responses.

This greatly satisfied Bai Bin's emotional needs, filling him with sweetness.

It was as if all the hardships of the past few days had been swept away; her already flushed face became even more alluring. After a long while, Wei Jin remembered something, "Xiao Bai, how was your first collaboration with Director Su?"

"Not bad, Director Su filmed the emotional scenes quite delicately."

Wei Jin nodded upon hearing this, acknowledging that this was indeed an advantage for female directors.

Even Yu Feihong from many years ago, although her drama "Love Has a Lifetime" flopped, her romantic scenes were indeed quite remarkable.

To be honest, Suren's efficiency was a bit low. After all, there was an original film to refer to, and it still took two months to shoot. I can only say that it was barely acceptable.

As for the quality of the film, Wei Jin believed that with Xue Xiaolu overseeing it, there shouldn't be any major problems. At most, he would just need to check it again after returning to the capital.

"By the way, Xiaobai, what are your plans for the follow-up work?"

Hearing the implied meaning in the song, Bai Bin immediately approached with a look of surprise and delight, "Boss, are you going to arrange another role for me?"

"Yes, the script for the TV series 'Eternal Love' has been completed, and pre-production has already begun. Filming is expected to start at the end of the year. I think you are very suitable for the female lead."

Yang Mi has already taken on the film version, so it's impossible for her to take on the TV series version of Wei Jin, otherwise it would just be a waste of Ah Li's popularity.

Among the company's female artists, in terms of beauty alone, Naza, Zhang Tianai, and Bai Bin are definitely in the top tier.

While Nazar and Tian Ai are beautiful, they are too aggressive and don't quite match the characters.

In contrast, Bai Bin is both innocent and alluring, making her absolutely suitable to play the most beautiful woman in all the realms.

"Thank you, boss. I'll arrange the schedule." Bai Bin felt a surge of sweetness in his heart and readily agreed.

Although she is not enthusiastic about resources and is very satisfied with her current life, isn't it obvious what it means that Wei Jin can support her one after another?

At this moment, Bai Bin couldn't wait to have children with Wei Jin, and have them in droves!
"Congratulations, Sister Binbin, your boss is so good to you."

Chen Yuqi was truly envious. In just this year, Bai Bin landed roles in two movies: Pacific Rim 2 and When Men Fall in Love.

Now, another large-scale historical drama series is destined to become a hit.

The three key resources were all pre-selected; this is simply excessive pampering.

In comparison, I've been an assistant for two years and have only played one supporting role so far. Even though I have some popularity, it's still far from enough.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuqi's red lips unconsciously pouted, and she hugged Wei Jin's arm coquettishly, "Boss, what about me?"

"Hehe, how could the boss forget Yuqi? The arrangements for 'Divas Hit the Road' have already been made for you. You and Tianqi can go together then."

Although Wei Jin couldn't treat all his assistants equally, he inevitably showed some favoritism.

For example, he clearly has a deeper relationship with Liu Yan and Bai Bin, who have been with him the longest.

But as long as it's a resource that can be provided, Boss Wei will never be stingy.

After all, if even a female slave like Xiao Song can go on "Divas Hit the Road," there's no reason not to arrange it for Chen Yuqi and Bao Tianqi.

"Thank you, boss, you're so kind."

Wei Jin embraced the two beauties and teased, "Xiao Bai, Yu Qi, is it all just empty words of thanks?"

Bai Bin and Chen Yuqi exchanged a glance, bit their red lips, and said in unison, "Boss, whatever you want tonight, it's up to you~~"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony! Yuqi, go get the props from my cabinet. Let's have some fun tonight, hahaha!"

Boss Wei will be filming on set for about half a year, during which time various beauties will come to visit the set, so of course he needs to be prepared.

·····
For three days in a row, Bai Bin and his assistant took turns serving Boss Wei in various ways, and their lives were simply blissful.

Unfortunately, as a popular actress, Bai Bin's press release schedule is still quite full.

Especially since we need to make room for "Three Lives Three Worlds" in the schedule, we need to hurry.

On the very day she left the film crew, "Project Gutenberg" also came to the end of its run in the film market, ultimately grossing 16.26 billion yuan.

Although it didn't become the champion of the National Day box office, there's no denying that this result is still very impressive!
It ranks fifth on the Chinese film box office chart, following only four films: "Operation Mekong", "Gravity", "Lost in Hong Kong", and "Monster Hunt"!
After years of silence, director Felix Chong became famous overnight, and the Hong Kong media gave him a massive amount of coverage, practically making him a god.

As one of the lead actresses, Liu Shishi has also received considerable support, with her endorsements and press releases increasing exponentially during this period.

Even her alma mater, the Beijing Dance Academy, followed the example of the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama, putting up banners and pinning Liu Shishi's resume to the top of their official website.

It's no wonder. Although there are many actors in the entertainment industry who graduated from the Beijing Dance Academy, such as Qiao Zhenyu, Liu Shishi, Huang Xuan, and Jin Chen, they are still far behind the top three dance academies in terms of prestige.

With only a few months left until the new year's art exams, we should definitely promote it properly.
Of course, the two production companies are the happiest of all.

According to the performance-based agreement with the cinemas, with a revenue-sharing ratio of 47.5%, the box office revenue share belonging to the production company is as high as 7.1 million yuan.

Including the $1860 million from overseas copyrights, as well as miscellaneous revenue from product placements, ad placements, and online copyrights, "Dynasty Warriors" generated a total revenue of 9 million.

Even after deducting the production cost of 180 million yuan and the publicity cost of nearly 70 million yuan, the net profit of this film is as high as 650 million yuan, which is absolutely a huge profit!
As for the increase in stock price, that goes without saying. During the period when "Project Gutenberg" was released, the stock prices of Yinghuang and Golden Harvest rose by no less than 30 points!

In light of this, Mr. Yang was very generous. After discussing with Wei Jin, he gave the main creative team a huge red envelope of 1500 million yuan at the celebration banquet, showing his unparalleled generosity.

Unfortunately, Liu Shishi has been so busy with press releases lately that even attending the celebration banquet was a rushed affair, leaving her no time to visit the set.

However, in her message to Wei Jin, Liu Shishi specifically mentioned that she would give him a surprise after she finished her schedule.

Mr. Wei expressed his high expectations for this.
