Chapter 187: Jing Tian

In a meticulously decorated villa, Wei Jin released his hands from covering Jing Tian's eyes.

"Tian Tian, happy birthday."

Looking at the rose petals covering the floor, the candlelight dinner on the dining table, and the photos of the two of them hanging all over the room's walls, mist already welled up in Jing Tian's eyes; she truly loved this man to death.

"Brother, thank you, I love you."

"Tian Tian, I love you too; let's eat first."

Wei Jin pulled the young girl to the dining table to sit opposite him and picked up a red wine glass.

"Wishing our beautiful, lovely, kind, generous, and sensible Miss Jing Tian a happy 20th birthday, cheers!"

"Thank you, Brother, cheers!"

After a light clinking of glasses, the two began to enjoy the candlelight dinner; throughout the entire dinner, Jing Tian's face was full of happiness.

After the dinner ended, the two came to the middle of the courtyard, and looking at the stars filling the sky, Jing Tian asked with some longing: "Brother, tell me, will we one day walk into the halls of marriage just like them?"

Wei Jin naturally knew who the "them" in Jing Tian's words referred to; today's headlines were all about the news of Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing's grand wedding in Bhutan.

What was interesting was that the groom had invited Maggie Cheung, but was politely declined, while the bride had invited Hu Jun, and Hu Jun had attended; not only were netizens gossiping, but people in the industry were also gossiping, and at the very least, Wei Jin had never known that Hu Jun and Liu Jialing had actually had a scandal.

However, Jing Tian's question was not easy to answer, and Wei Jin himself had not thought it through clearly, so he couldn't help but fall silent upon hearing it.

Seeing that Wei Jin did not express his stance, Jing Tian felt a bit disappointed, but immediately a smile surfaced again: "Brother, I was just joking with you; we are still so young, who knows what the future holds..."

Watching the young girl forcing a smile, Wei Jin interrupted her: "Tian Tian, marriage is too distant for me, I haven't thought it through, and I even feel some fear, but if one day I truly want to get married, the bride will definitely be you, definitely."

Wei Jin's words sounded somewhat irresponsible, but Jing Tian was already moved to tears; she knew this was already the greatest promise Wei Jin could give.

"Alright, stop crying; I want my Tian Tian to be happy every day, and to be as beautiful as a flower forever..."

Gently pulling Jing Tian into his embrace, Wei Jin softly wiped beneath the young girl's eyes with his hand.

A man's sweet talk was like honey, filling Jing Tian's heart with emotion, and she took the initiative to offer a sweet kiss.

After a long while, their lips parted, the air seemed to become quiet, and the gazes the two cast at each other were full of love. — "Tian Tian, hurry and look at your birthday gift, do you like it?"

After catching a breeze in the courtyard, Wei Jin pulled Jing Tian to the living room and took out the gift he had prepared in advance; he believed the young girl would definitely be satisfied.

In fact, Jing Tian had long guessed that Wei Jin's gifts were always scripts, but feeling the weight in the box, she felt a bit puzzled.

Patiently, she opened the packaging; at the bottom of the box was indeed a script, but what attracted Jing Tian more was a small gift box in the middle.

After curiously opening it, what came into view was a heart-shaped diamond necklace; the diamond was not particularly large, but it won out because the style was very beautiful, and Jing Tian liked it very much.

"Brother, help me put it on."

Wei Jin took the necklace, came behind Jing Tian, and put it on for her; paired with the young girl's fair swan-like neck, it really looked very good, and it was worth the special trip Wei Jin had made while in North America.

Jing Tian couldn't wait to come before the mirror to admire the gift her lover had given her, her pretty face full of smiles.

"Thank you, Brother, I like it very much."

"But, aren't you going to look at the script? I think this gift will be even more suitable for you..."

"Hee hee, it's all mine anyway, it's the same if I look at it later; Brother, I didn't expect your taste to be quite good."

Wei Jin could not empathize with a woman's love for jewelry, bags, and clothes, and felt a bit helpless, but as long as Jing Tian was happy, it was fine.

After admiring it for a good while, Jing Tian left the mirror and picked up the script on the table to read.

Wei Jin sat down next to Jing Tian; the scent on the young girl was very pleasant, and he was somewhat addicted to it.

After a long time, he saw Jing Tian turn her head to look at Wei Jin with a face full of surprise.

"A solo act! A big-heroine movie! Brother, this gift is truly too good, mua!"

Although she had always believed in the big-heroine movie Wei Jin spoke of, Jing Tian really hadn't expected it to be a story like this; it was completely a solo act for the lead actress. Among the female stars in the entertainment industry, one by one, they would probably all go crazy facing a script like this.

At this moment, Jing Tian firmly believed that she would always be the number one heroine in Wei Jin's heart — receiving an invitation call from Wu Jing, Wei Jin was somewhat surprised.

However, having collaborated many times, Wei Jin also appreciated Wu Jing, so he accepted the invitation to go. The opening press conference for *Wolf Warrior* was held in Beijing, and at the conference, Wu Jing appeared very confident.

He not only played clips of his classic action movies from the past but also performed martial arts scenes on the spot with his senior fellow apprentice Kou Zhanwen, which drew cheers from quite a few audience members.

Becoming a director for the first time, Wu Jing managed to secure twenty million in investment, which made Wei Jin look at him with new eyes; it seemed that over these years, he had still gained something in Hong Kong.

However, aiming for the New Year Slot with his first movie was, in Wei Jin's view, not a good choice.

Wei Jin had seen this movie in his past life; how should he put it, the fighting style was sharp, but the script was somewhat weak, and he estimated it wouldn't make much of a splash.

However, the popularity of *Brotherhood of Blades* made Wu Jing's influence in Mainland China slightly stronger, and with the release of *The Martian* at the end of the year, it could also bring a certain bonus; perhaps the box office would look a little better.

Huayi sent the casting list for *The Message* to Wei Jin, and as expected, under Chen Guofu's insistent arguments, Zhou Xun got the female lead.

The other female role was Yang Rong; after thinking it over, Wei Jin still gave it to her, as at least he approved of her acting skills.

Moreover, Yang Rong was low-key and wouldn't stir up any trouble on set. Wei Jin knew that in the original movie, Li Bingbing had added many scenes and forcibly created a dual-heroine setup; this time, naturally, there was no place for her.

Additionally, Wei Jin also secured the role of Bai Xiaonian and gave it to Wang Kai; the original was played by Su Youpeng, which was of course also good, but if there was an opportunity to promote his own people, Wei Jin would naturally not miss it, as it had been agreed upon anyway.

Besides, Wang Kai had just returned from wrapping up *Ugly Invincible*, so this type of effeminate character was already second nature to him.

On the other side, inside an office at Huayi Zongbu.

"President Wang, is there really no other way?"

Li Bingbing was still somewhat unwilling and wanted Wang Zhonglei to think of another way.

Originally, she had thought that for a company project, she would at least be the first or second female lead. Although she would have to play a supporting role to Zhou Xun, there were too many ways to manipulate things; she hadn't expected a Yang Rong from Wei Jin's camp to be parachuted in.

Her younger sister Li Xue had told her that this script was very likely to win awards; as for awards, there wasn't a single "Big Flower" from the 70s generation who wasn't eager for them, and Li Bingbing naturally didn't want to miss out.

"Bingbing, about this matter, there really is no way; Wei Jin is the investor, so he definitely has to insert his own people. Next time, I will compensate you next time."

Wang Zhonglei's expression was also not good; Chen Guofu was too stubborn, refusing to promote the company's top star and insisting on using someone destined to leave. — Late at night, Yang Siwei was refreshing the latest filing information on the Film Bureau's official website, which was also the daily work of many artist assistants or Agents.

Current film resources were scarce, and many projects had actors already designated internally; if you didn't pay attention to this information, it was very likely that by the time you knew a movie had started filming, it was already too late.

After browsing from beginning to end, Yang Siwei was somewhat disappointed. Yawning, she was just about to close the page when she habitually pressed F5 to refresh once, and it actually brought up something new.

Looking at the information displayed on the computer screen, Yang Siwei's eyes widened instantly, and she hurriedly took out her phone and dialed a number: "Sister Bingbing, Wei Jin has a new project again, you should hurry and inquire about it..."

Hanging up the phone, Yang Siwei felt somewhat anxious and could only pin her hopes on the relationship between Fan Bingbing and Wei Jin.

Yang Siwei was originally an artist assistant under Wang Jinhua, and in 2005, she followed her to join Orange Sky, working in artist publicity.

Because she was a graduate of the Communication University of China, she had a knack for artist packaging and promotion, having successively undertaken the promotional and packaging work for many well-known artists; but having entered the entertainment industry, how could Yang Siwei be content with just running errands?

It just so happened that Fan Bingbing established her Studio and, greatly appreciating her abilities, extended an olive branch; just like that, the two ambitious women hit it off immediately.

Over the past year or so, with the help and support of Wei Jin, the Studio had participated in quite a few projects, but unfortunately, they were all television dramas; in terms of film, they really hadn't obtained any high-quality resources.

As an Agent, Yang Siwei was naturally somewhat anxious.

This opportunity was truly too good; Wei Jin was famously good at promoting women, and his successive "Jin Girls" were all incredibly popular in the industry.

The first "Jin Girl," Liu Yifei, was directly promoted to "National First Love" and is now a popular post-85s actress with film and television resources so good they make people jealous.

The second "Jin Girl," Ceng Li, was even more extraordinary: the first Mainland China Grand Slam Best Actress, the first Cannes Best Actress, and the first Oscar Best Actress; her honors were already so numerous that her contemporaries didn't even dare to think of chasing after her.

The third "Jin Girl," Gao Yuanyuan, was not to be outdone either; in just two short years, she rose from a second-tier actor to a Top-tier Female Star, comparable to the Four Dan Double Bing.

The fourth "Jin Girl," Jing Tian, although currently not as famous as the previous ones, was developing in film, television, and music, and had also appeared in a major Hollywood production, so her future was also promising.

Therefore, Yang Siwei very much hoped that Fan Bingbing could seize the opportunity to act in Wei Jin's film, as this would be a huge boost to her fame.

At the same time, many people also noticed the newly filed script for *Lucy*, and the circle was instantly thrown into chaos.

A large number of star artists had already begun to take action, and many companies in the industry were also harboring ideas of investment, but Wei Jin had no time to pay them any mind; the release date of *Now You See Me* was already right before his eyes.
