Chapter 183: Twilight's Top Pick, the Twilight Girl Delivers Herself to the Door

The Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles was the venue for the premiere of *Twilight 2 New Moon*, with the hosting arrangements handled by Summit Entertainment.

Having settled matters regarding *Inception*, Wei Jin was in a great mood; since Zhang Wei hadn't left yet, he simply invited him to attend the premiere of *Twilight 2*.

When the two arrived, the venue was already crowded, and Wei Jin spotted quite a few acquaintances.

"Wei, hello, good to see you again."

Wei Jin turned his head to look; what a coincidence, "Deadpool" was there too.

"Hello, Ryan, I haven't congratulated you yet."

Ryan and Scarlett had gotten engaged last month, but hearing those words come out of Wei Jin's mouth, he felt a bit strange.

"You'll have to set aside some time next month; you both have to do the movie promotion."

"Mm, I know, Wei, I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Ryan also hoped the film's release would be a success, as that would give him more confidence when interacting with his fiancée.

After chatting briefly with Ryan, Wei Jin saw one of the main cast members, Kristen Stewart, walking toward him.

"Hi, Wei, long time no see."

Kristen was very enthusiastic in her speech, and after finishing, she gave Wei Jin a cheek kiss.

Now 18 years old, Kristen had grown increasingly beautiful; her sculpted features and deep eyes attracted a great deal of attention.

This young woman was currently extremely popular, and was known alongside Amanda Seyfried, Emma Roberts, and Blake Lively as the Four Dan Actresses of Hollywood.

"Hello, Kristen, the recent promotion has really been hard work for you."

"You are too kind, Wei. It is my honor to participate in this film, and I also hope the box office can surpass the first one."

In front of Wei Jin, Kristen showed no arrogance despite her sudden fame; she knew the relationship between Wei Jin and Summit Entertainment, and since her main works were in his hands, she absolutely could not afford to offend him.

Not only could she not offend him, but Kristen also intended to strengthen their relationship; the young woman had some artistic pursuits, and it just so happened that Wei Jin was an expert in that regard.

"Wei, I never thought that besides being good at directing films, you were also very skilled at coaching acting."

"Hmm?"

These words left Wei Jin a bit confused; was this "coaching" proper?

"Ashley said that after your guidance, her acting improved a lot, which is truly enviable. I wonder if I might have the honor tonight?"

Kristen directly issued an invitation to Wei Jin for a friendly match; it could bring them closer and bring her pleasure, so why not?

Besides, she had heard from Ashley about Wei Jin's vigor and had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Of course, that would be my honor as well, beautiful lady."

For an actress who was single-mindedly pursuing progress, never forgetting to seek guidance, and who hadn't given up on honing her acting skills despite her sudden fame, Wei Jin truly couldn't bear to refuse.

Besides, having heard in his past life that she had some issues with her orientation, Wei Jin intended to be helpful and correct her in advance. — After the premiere ended, Kristen left first, mainly for fear of being spotted by the media at this juncture, which would affect the film's box office, though the room key was already tucked in Wei Jin's pocket.

Wei Jin looked around, but surprisingly didn't see Zhang Wei; it seemed this guy had found his own fun, which saved him the trouble.

Estimating that the time was about right, Wei Jin disguised himself and arrived at the hotel; he was quite famous in North America now, and his Chinese face was far too conspicuous.

Opening the room door, it was empty; Wei Jin was still wondering when a sound came from the bathroom, inviting him to bathe together. This woman was quite well-prepared; Ashley didn't keep her mouth shut.

What? It was my own doing? Then that's no problem.

Shaking off the inexplicable thoughts in his head, Wei Jin nimbly began to undress, as the actress was already waiting for guidance.

It must be said that an 18-year-old body is truly young and full of vitality, and combined with her net height of 168cm, it allowed Kristen to fully cooperate with Wei Jin for multi-faceted, in-depth acting exchanges.

That night, Kristen "deeply" felt the joy of a woman and understood why Ashley would always space out when talking about Wei Jin.

Wei Jin also decided that if there was an opportunity in the future, he would treat this girl from time to time to prevent a relapse. — June 6th, *Twilight 2* was officially released.

Thanks to Taylor Swift's popularity and the boost from the promotional song, the performance of *Twilight 2* was even more terrifying than its predecessor. The midnight screening box office alone reached 27 million USD, setting a historical record, and it would be difficult for any film to break this number in the short term.

The first-day box office raked in 78 million, also setting a historical record, which left many Hollywood production companies feeling incredulous; with the single-day box office approaching the 100 million mark, how much would the total box office be?

Previously, many media outlets had made predictions, believing that given the poor word-of-mouth of the first film, the second would likely encounter a Waterloo.

But unexpectedly, reality gave them a hard slap in the face. This is what you call a Waterloo? This is called a miracle, and the miracle was still unfolding.

Three days after the release of *Twilight 2*, the opening weekend North American box office reached as high as 153 million USD, topping the global box office for the week and simultaneously becoming the film with the highest opening weekend box office in history; the previous record was set by *Spider-Man 3* last year, with a three-day box office of 151 million.

Not only that, *Twilight 2* was also a hit outside of North America, earning 13 million USD in Australia, 2.69 million USD in New Zealand, and 2 million USD in the Philippines during the opening weekend, becoming the historical opening weekend box office champion in all three countries respectively.

It also achieved huge success in Europe, with 18 million USD in the UK, 17 million USD in France, and 13.7 million USD in Spain.

The overseas box office for the first three days reached as high as 118.1 million USD, a result that could even rival *Harry Potter* and *Lord of the Rings*.

For a time, many media outlets and industry insiders began to study why. Wei Jin didn't find it surprising; the opening weekend box office performance was so violent for only two reasons.

First, the fan base was too large. When he first bought the copyright to the *Twilight* series, the total publication volume of the books was only a little over 1 million copies; when *Twilight 1* was released, the publication volume was less than 10 million copies, but today, that number has exceeded 50 million copies; the scale of the fan base is completely incomparable.

Second, the purchasing power of the fans has increased. In recent years, the consumption power of women has significantly improved, and this film targeted exactly those female fans who were willing and able to spend money.

According to theater chain surveys, among the female audience members who paid for *Twilight 2*, more than half were under 21 years old. These young female fans proved with their extreme fanaticism for "vampires" that female audiences could finally generate astonishing box office revenue.

Seeing that *Twilight 2* had already achieved a good start, Wei Jin's many matters in North America came to an end; he couldn't wait to enjoy his private jet. — "President Wei, this plane of yours is too luxurious."

Led by the flight attendant, Zhang Wei said with emotion after touring the plane. Although his status at China Film Group was not low, this was his first time riding in a private jet, and the envy on his face was fully exposed.

The entire aircraft cabin consisted of a cockpit, a lounge area, a kitchen area, and a lavatory.

The lounge area was furnished with several single leather armchairs and a four-seat leather sofa that could accommodate two people lying down.

The long sofa had certain privacy settings and could be turned into a relatively private small bedroom at any time.

The lounge area was also equipped with leisure and entertainment functions, including various real-time magazines and audio-visual equipment, and could also connect to the aircraft's network and power supply.

At the same time, it was connected to the kitchen area; as long as the ingredients and preparation methods allowed, the flight attendant could serve delicious food and drinks at any time.

The lavatory had complete basic functions; although one couldn't take a bath like at home, a simple shower rinse was absolutely no problem.

The layout of the entire plane, including the cabin interior, flooring, sofas, tabletops, counters, kitchen, and bathroom, was personally selected by Wei Jin in terms of both material and color, appearing luxurious, elegant, exquisite, and generous.

"Haha, Old Zhang, making money is for enjoyment, isn't it? I won't shortchange myself in this regard."

The Gulfstream G550 had a maximum cruising altitude of 15,000 meters and a maximum capacity of 18 passengers. Since Wei Jin was going back, he naturally had to invite Zhang Wei along; that way, showing off would be more satisfying, otherwise, wouldn't it be like wearing silk in the dark? Not taking photos and posting them on his blog was already being very low-key.

Wei Jin's words made Zhang Wei nod repeatedly. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Zhang Wei felt that living like Wei Jin was what life was all about; although being in the system was stable, one could never live a life like this.

"Mr. Wei, Mr. Zhang, may I ask what you would like to drink?"

A flight attendant with a beautiful appearance and an outstanding figure crouched down halfway and asked in fluent Mandarin.

This aircraft was equipped with 2 pilots and 4 flight attendants, all of whom were excellent staff hired from large domestic airlines.

For this, the salary Wei Jin needed to pay annually reached several million, which was at least half higher than what they earned at their original companies.

The conditions under such heavy pay were excellent professional standards, being on call 24/7, and strict confidentiality clauses.

The private jet was mainly for Wei Jin's own use; additionally, the women around him could also use it if they had a need, but under normal circumstances, it was certainly impossible to lend it out easily, as flying once was quite expensive after all.

The work of entertainers is relatively special, and it is hard to say regarding time, so being on standby at any time was very necessary.

As for confidentiality, that goes without saying; Wei Jin did not want to play something exciting on the plane one day and have it exposed on the internet.

"Bring me a Coke, with ice."

Having transmigrated for five years, Wei Jin finally owned his own private jet, and his mood was quite pleasant; at such a time, it naturally had to be paired with "fat boy happy water."

Wei Jin had already flown the route from North America to Huaxia many times, and never had any time been as comfortable as today; it was a pity that his companion was a man, otherwise Boss Wei would have had to go a thousand miles in a day.
