Chapter 348: Playing with Excitement, Jing Tian Got Jealous

Shanhe Building, office, Wei Jin was flipping through the two resumes on his desk.

Before going abroad, he had already screened the assistant candidates, a total of four relatively suitable ones.

After all, a personal assistant is a very important position, they will know a lot of Wei Jin's and the company's confidential information, so background checks are indispensable.

After more than half a month of background checks, only these two qualified candidates remained.

Looking at the familiar faces on the resumes, Wei Jin actually fell into a dilemma for a moment.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't reach a conclusion, Wei Jin planned to find time to chat with the two girls. ——As the first film work of Fiber Optic Independent Production, Wang Changtian attached great importance to the premiere of 《The Painted Wall》.

Not only did he set the premiere date early, but he also sent invitations to major companies and big stars in the industry.

When Wei Jin appeared at the scene with Jing Tian, the red carpet on both sides was already crowded with reporters, it could be seen that Old Wang was determined to suppress 《The Sorcerer and the White Snake》 in publicity.

Walking leisurely down the red carpet, just entering the venue, the host of Fiber Optic, Xie Nan, came over to greet them.

"Tian Tian, you look so beautiful."

"How could that be, Sister Xie Nan, you are the beautiful one, no wonder I've bewitched my Brother Jing to the point of losing his soul, hehe."

Jing Tian's teasing made Xie Nan's face flush a little, as if she was angry at that straight man's cluelessness, how could he not know to keep quiet.

It seemed she sensed Xie Nan's thoughts, Jing Tian blinked at her.

"Sister Xie Nan, rest assured, I keep my mouth shut, I won't tell anyone."

Wei Jin expressed a thousand doubts about that, Jing Tian wouldn't say it voluntarily, but this little girl has a simple mind, pumping her for words shouldn't be too easy.

However, with two women chatting, Wei Jin couldn't get a word in, fortunately, the deputy general manager of Fiber Optic, Li Xiaoping, walked over.

"President Wei, this way please, President Wang and President Han are waiting for you."

Wei Jin nodded and asked Jing Tian.

"Tian Tian, are you going with Sister Xie Nan or with me?"

"Never mind, I'll just chat with Sister Xie Nan for a while, you go ahead and get busy."

After nodding at Xie Nan, Wei Jin walked toward the circle where Han Sanping and others were.

From afar, Wang Changtian saw Wei Jin and began to greet him.

"Old Brother Wei, thank you for coming to support, haha."

"President Wang, you're too polite, I wish you big box office sales."

Wei Jin thought a few pleasantries would suffice, but Old Wang still pulled him aside to chat about the new project.

"Old Brother Wei, I have a project I want to discuss with you."

Old Wang didn't beat around the bush, he got straight to the point, laying out the film's script, production company, and production team all at once.

After listening, Wei Jin fell into thought, then shook his head.

"President Wang, I'm not optimistic about this project."

"Oh? Little brother, elaborate."

Regarding Wei Jin's judgment, Wang Changtian still believed in it, this is also one of the reasons why he even half-sold, half-gave away the original shares to bind Wei Jin to the Fiber Optic war chariot.

"Well, put it this way, in my view, Changying has no experience in producing large-scale historical films, the director is just an advertisement director by background, hasn't even directed a proper film, do you think he can handle Old Master Zhang's team?"

Saying this, Wei Jin paused to observe Old Wang's reaction, if the person isn't willing to listen, then saying more is useless.

Fortunately, Old Wang had the look of a brother saying "continue", Wei Jin then continued speaking.

"Of course, this is just one aspect, more importantly, their script is simply nonsense, according to your saying, this is inspired by the unearthed Cao Cao tomb, telling Cao Cao's late-life emotional entanglements?

This is pure fantasy, just the director's self-indulgent work, completely different from the well-known Three Kingdoms to the audience, the market won't buy it."

Wang Changtian pondered for a moment, nodded, he had to admit Wei Jin's words made sense.

"Alright, Old Brother Wei, thank you for clarifying, I have it figured out now."

Wei Jin nodded, decision-making has always been Fiber Optic's own affair.

Not long after, Han Sanping also walked over.

"Wei Jin, 《Thieves》 will be released on the 29th, we set the premiere for the 28th, by then you don't need to worry about it, I'll handle it, how about that?"

Han Sanping had the air of taking on everything, this kind of performance project is exactly what he likes most.

"Alright, I'll follow President Han's arrangement."

Wei Jin agreed without hesitation, China Film Group willing to take responsibility is even better, given Han Sanping's character, the scale of the premiere can be imagined, only bigger and even bigger.

After chatting with Han Sanping for a while, Jing Tian walked over.

"President Han, Brother, it's about to start."

Wei Jin nodded, he had already seen Xie Nan in evening gown take the stage.

"Well, let's find seats to sit down, President Han, join us?"

"Good, together."

To be honest, the cast of 《The Painted Wall》 is really shabby, compared to next door's 《The Sorcerer and the White Snake》, it's indeed far inferior.

Worth mentioning is, Chen Zhiming just returned from abroad, and was immediately called to attend the premiere of 《The White Snake》.

Although he doesn't like Yang Zi, after all, he is a client of Shanhe Ink, he naturally still has to put on the surface work.

But looking at the performance on stage, Wei Jin's mouth twitched unconsciously, and he muttered to Han Sanping beside him.

"Old Wang's film premiere, how did he make it seem like a TV station gala."

At this moment, Zhou Zhaolong on stage was wielding a big blade, Yan Ni was dancing with him, when the music reached its climax, they even hugged and spun in mid-air.

"Flashy and superficial"

Han Sanping followed with a complaint, then turned his head to look at the scene.

"But you still shouldn't say, this atmosphere is not bad, haha."

Jing Tian beside him also covered her mouth and laughed, obviously finding it fun and novel, this is indeed the first time seeing such a thing in the industry.

After some teasing, the premiere finally got to the point, the main feature began.

To be honest, although the story of Painted Skin is taken from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, the original text is less than a thousand words, and it was forcibly adapted into a feature-length film, inevitably filling in a lot of content.

Chen Jiashang's control over the script is clearly problematic, so the whole film has an empty and boring plot, the emotional scenes lack buildup, and there are many flaws.

However, compared to the production cost of thirty million yuan, the quality of Painted Skin is absolutely excellent, at least in terms of special effects, Wei Jin believes no one can find fault with it. —After the film ended, the applause at the scene was very enthusiastic; as for how much of it was genuine, that remains unknown.

Then came the regular press interview session, Chen Jiashang chatted about many things on stage, and finally, facing the reporters' question about box office expectations, he looked down at Wei Jin in the audience and gave an answer with a smile.

"With Shanhe Media's two excellent works in the Painted Skin series preceding it, we are very confident about the box office of Painted Skin; not saying we'll surpass it, but getting half its box office should be no problem."

Chen Jiashang's words made the guests nod frequently; half the box office of Painted Skin is already nearly two hundred million, which for Painted Skin is definitely a big profit.

Afterwards, the main creators also spoke up one after another, expressing their optimism about the film's box office.

Finally, they talked about the film's special effects, and Xie Nan on stage handed the microphone to Wei Jin.

"Then I'll say a few words; regarding this special effects work, I think everyone here who has seen the finished film should already know in their hearts, so there's no need for me to advertise, haha"—the audience below also responded with friendly laughter, Shanhe Ink's technical level truly doesn't need Wei Jin to promote it further; it deserves praise for being high quality and low cost.

"However, regarding Chairman Wang, I do want to complain a bit."

Wei Jin looked around and found everyone still quite eager to hear what he would say.

"Too stingy; for the Painted Skin project, after giving him a discount, Shanhe Ink's accounting even included labor costs, completely losing money.

Like this, he still wanted to ask me for a discount on The Four, but this time I firmly refused; from now on, when anyone seeks Shanhe Ink for special effects, don't even mention discounts—it's too hurtful."

As soon as Wei Jin finished speaking, the audience below burst into loud laughter.

The premiere ended, and as usual, it was banquet time, a regular social networking segment in the industry, indispensable.

"Wei Zong, Jing Tian xiaojie."

Deng Chao brought Sun Li over to greet them proactively.

"Chao ge, this should be about time to give birth, right?"

Wei Jin nodded, looking at Sun Li's belly, already astonishingly large.

"En, in another two months she'll give birth."

"Then congratulations to you both first; you're about to level up, haha."

"Still need to thank Wei Zong for giving Deng Chao the opportunity."

Sun Li smiled, obviously happy that Deng Chao could join Keep Running.

"Miss Sun, you're too polite."

After exchanging pleasantries, the couple left knowingly; indeed, they are smart people.

"Gege, I'll go over there to eat something with Nan jie."

"En, you go."

Not long after, Bai Bin and Wan Qian came over to say hello; Wei Jin knew they were just after his body, but unfortunately tonight the main wife is present, so these two girls can only play by themselves.

Wei Jin didn't expect that the usually obedient Bai Bin had also turned bad; he was only gone to the bathroom for a moment, and got blocked inside.

"Boss, help her out, please."

Bai Bin today wore a black deep-V evening dress, skillfully showcasing her fair and delicate collarbones.

At this moment, squatting down, she revealed a large area of her snow-white chest.

Without even considering Wei Jin's reaction, Bai Bin directly began pressing her charming red lips onto him.

"Mmm~~"

Thanks to long-term training, Bai Bin quickly finished shuffling the cards.

Seeing things had come to this, Wei Jin could only seize the moment, pulling Bai Bin up and gently lifting her skirt hem.

"Mmm~~~"

"Keep it down"

After finishing, Wei Jin returned to the reception venue without changing his expression.

Only to see Jing Tian chatting with Xie Nan while snacking, and beside her was the so-called "Fiber Optics Brother" Bao Guangtou, fawning and eager to please.

Wei Jin didn't go over; although he had sprayed perfume, the scent of stonecrop flowers was still somewhat hard to suppress.

So he simply hid in the corner to eat something, not expecting someone would still come over.

"Shige, do you have time tonight?"

Yang Mi issued the invitation; during the casting for Resident Evil, she was eliminated in the first round.

This also made Yang Mi realize that, with her current status, she simply cannot reach international resources; thus, to maintain her popularity, she must cling tightly to Wei Jin's thigh.

Looking at Yang Mi in a red dress, her chest heaving magnificently, Wei Jin shook his head.

"Another day."

The banquet ended; Yang Mi looked at Wei Jin and Jing Tian leaving with a resentful gaze, her proud assets failing to achieve any effect.

It seemed Yang Mi's unwillingness was noticed; Ceng Jia sighed.

"Mimi, some things shouldn't be forced."

"I just can't figure out where I fall short compared to them, why he won't even give me a proper look?"

Once a woman gets carried away, it's hard to dissuade her; Ceng Jia could do nothing about Yang Mi, only able to divert the latter's attention, otherwise sinking deeper would become troublesome.

"Mimi, I previously stayed in Meiya for two years, and have maintained contact with them; recently they've had some big moves, are you interested?"

Indeed, as soon as the career-oriented strong woman Yang Mi heard this, she immediately wiped the resentment from her face and became interested.

"Jia jie, what exactly is the project? Do you know?"

"The information I currently have is about a film and a TV series; the film is said to be led by Hong Kong side, likely to launch soon; the TV series is expected to start after the year."

Yang Mi's eyes lit up immediately; having a wild and qualified agent is truly excellent.

"Jia jie, trouble you to contact me."—On the other side, Wei Jin brought Jing Tian back to Dongshanshu.

In the bathroom, the little girl unexpectedly started acting coquettish: "Gege, my foot hurts~~"

"What's wrong? Are the shoes not fitting?"

Wei Jin proactively placed the fair-skinned little girl's calf on himself, grasping Jing Tian's lustrous white ankle, which looked exquisitely beautiful like a work of art.

"Hmm~~ I don't know what's going on today, maybe I stood too long."

Enjoying the man's massage, Jing Tian almost let out a comfortable moan.

"Brother, your technique is so professional, it feels much more comfortable after a press."

Upon hearing this, Wei Jin smiled faintly; in his past life as a client manager, he had often accompanied clients for massages.

Especially there was a Department Head at the provident fund center who loved foot washing, going five times a week; Wei Jin accompanied him for several months, nearly rubbing off his foot skin—so-called long illness makes a doctor, how could he not be professional? "Brother, what does Yang Mi want from you?"

As Jing Tian enjoyed it, she suddenly asked out of the blue; fortunately, Wei Jin had strong mental fortitude and forcibly suppressed the thought "she wants to sleep with me."

"Oh, company artiste, wanting to ask if there are any new projects lately."

"Like that."

The little girl's pair of dark, big eyes rolled around, seemingly unintentionally saying.

"Brother, her figure is really good, especially there, almost catching up to Sister Liu Yan."

Wei Jin, no longer unaware of the little girl's thoughts, lowered her leg and held her in his arms, one hand grabbing her snow-white.

"What use is grandeur? I just like you like this, perky."

Wei Jin truly spoke no falsehood; although Jing Tian wasn't particularly large, her breast shape was truly beautiful, a perfect teardrop form, filling one's grasp, the feel was truly excellent.

However, no matter how much explanation, it was pallid; Wei Jin quickly turned the little girl over and began to whip her severely. (End of chapter)
