Chapter 487: Uncle, You're So Amazing

After three months, "The Suspect" finally wrapped up, and Wei Jin specially held a welcome-back banquet for the crew.

Except for Pan Yueming, who did not attend because he was taking care of his elderly parents and children, all other crew members were present.

In the private dining room, Wei Jin sat in the main seat, with Wu Ershan and Fan Bingbing accompanying him on his left and right. Producer Han Jianv, lead actor Wang Kai, third lead Li Xian, and Zhang Xueying, who played Fan Bingbing's daughter, were all at this table.

Since it was a welcome-back banquet, there was no shortage of toasts. Han Jianv, not to be outdone by any man, was the first to raise her glass and walk over to Wei Jin.

"Senior, I toast you with this cup, thank you for your trust in me."

After speaking, without waiting for Wei Jin to respond, she downed it in one gulp, showing quite a bit of Han Sanping's decisiveness, which drew a round of applause from the table.

"Hehe, your performance this time was quite good. What are your plans for next?"

Speaking of this, Han Jianv's face fell instantly.

"Senior, don't mention it. Old Han is simply impossible to communicate with. As soon as he heard I had wrapped up, he insisted on finding me a movie to practice on."

Wei Jin smiled: "Tsk tsk, stop humble-bragging. If those directors who have no way to get their projects off the ground heard this, their spit alone could drown you."

"It's not humble-bragging, Senior. You know me, I like producing. Making movies really isn't my forte, it's such a headache."

Saying this, Han Jianv's eyes rolled: "Senior, does the company have any new films? Can you let me participate? Even as an executive producer would do, that way Old Han would have nothing to say."

Although Han Jianv was still in her second year as a Graduate Student, she had signed a contract with the company last year. If Wei Jin really arranged work for her, Old Han would certainly not refuse.

It was just that "Silent Separation" had already started filming, and "Dragon Snake" had entered the training stage; all work was already fully staffed, and there was truly no room for her to shine. Wei Jin couldn't possibly conspire with her to deceive Comrade Old Han, could he? Thus, under Han Jianv's expectant gaze, Wei Jin shook his head.

"Forget it, just listen to Han Dong this time. During your graduate studies, you should at least hold the director's megaphone, right?"

Upon hearing this, Han Jianv wilted. She knew Wei Jin was a man of his word, and thought to herself: "I can only find a way elsewhere."

Just as Han Jianv left, Wang Kai walked over with a wine glass. His words were not only very respectful but also revealed a hint of gratitude.

He was an Undergraduate in the 2003 acting class at the Central Academy of Drama. Before he had even graduated, many companies had come to sign him, and Huayi even dangled the "Eight Great Newcomers" carrot before him.

In the end, after much consideration, Wang Kai chose the newly established Wei Jin Fengliu over the Mainland China entertainment giant Huayi.

This was not because his vision was extraordinary, but rather because he would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Huayi had already been established for over a decade at the time, and its artist management was very mature; it was difficult for newcomers to have a chance to stand out.

Facts proved that his choice was very wise.

Since joining the company, from supporting roles in TV dramas to leads, and then from supporting roles in movies to leads, he had almost never lacked resources.

He moved steadily, taking one step at a time, and was now one of the Four Young Dan, a solid first-tier actor.

Even among male actors in the Mainland China entertainment industry, there were only a handful of people whose commercial value ranked ahead of his.

By comparison, those so-called heavily promoted newcomers who had swallowed Huayi's carrot back then had long since faded into the crowd; the one who had done the best was Zhao Liying, who had jumped ship to Starry Sky Culture.

This made Wang Kai have to sigh at the mystery of fate; truly, choice is greater than effort.

As for Wang Kai, Wei Jin also appreciated him very much. Since joining the company, he had been diligent and conscientious, almost never causing any trouble. How could he not like an employee who could both make money and put his mind at ease?

After some encouragement, Wei Jin chatted a few words with Li Xian, who was waiting behind to toast, which made the latter very happy.

Although he hadn't shouldered a major project alone since joining the company, with the example of Bai Yu before him, Li Xian also believed that the boss was definitely not just drawing a pie in the sky.

For a moment, Li Xian, who was just over 20, was full of expectations for the future.

After the bustle, Wei Jin brought Fan Bingbing to the No. 3 Golden House.

Just now at the dinner table, this woman hadn't been very well-behaved, frequently making moves, which made Wei Jin very fired up; he had to fill her up thoroughly tonight.

However, this stunner Fan Bingbing was indeed formidable; she had his preferences grasped perfectly and had long ago had her Assistant prepare the props.

After arriving at the place, she changed into a horizontally hollowed-out bodycon dress, half-covering and half-revealing, yet still leaving things to the imagination.

Paired with 5D ultra-thin black silk stockings and bright red lips, her seductive attributes were maxed out.

At this moment, Wei Jin grabbed the hollowed-out fabric with one hand and tightly squeezed her plump and elastic buttocks with the other, taking advantage of the tear in the black silk stockings from earlier to roam wantonly, his spirits extremely high.

"Mmm~~~ Uncle, you're so amazing~~ Mmm~~~"

Wei Jin had to admit that in bed, this woman was the one who could really let go, always able to bring him ultimate physical and mental pleasure.

At this time, Fan Bingbing was lying on the snow-white bed, a pillow under her lower abdomen, her hands slanted forward to support her body, lifting her beautiful buttocks high to facilitate Wei Jin's riding and whipping.

Her bewitching, pretty face, capable of enchanting all living things, was flushed with red.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and the sides of her nose, to the point where the hair at her temples was stuck to her face, and her soul-snatching peach-blossom eyes were even more swirling with charm, her gaze like silk.

Wei Jin didn't expect that he had only spent one night of intimacy with Fan Bingbing, and another major event had happened in the circle.

A document jointly issued by the five major companies—China Film Group, Guangxian, Bona, Huayi, and Xingmei—titled "Notice on Adjusting the Revenue Sharing Ratio for Domestic Films," directly shocked the entire film circle.

To be honest, Wei Jin had already known about this matter beforehand and didn't feel surprised.

What he didn't expect was that the attitude of these distribution companies would be so tough.

It wasn't an application, nor a consultation, and certainly not a negotiation, but a notice and an order.

This meant that the distributors' actions this time were truly made with the determination to burn their bridges.

At this moment, the entire industry seemed to have ushered in a major Aftershock.

The distributors used the films in the New Year Slot as leverage to take the lead in applying pressure, while other production companies also voiced their support online, creating a massive momentum.

Wei Jin immediately called Chen Zhiming.

"Lao Chen, arrange for the company's official account to release information and voice our support."

Chen Zhiming at the other end of the phone was stunned: "Boss Wei, didn't we previously..."

"Eh, being the leader is one thing, voicing support is another. Our position dictates that we cannot stay out of it." The reason he didn't join the alliance was that Wei Jin didn't want to be used as a pawn by Huayi, but this didn't mean he wasn't willing to increase the base box office sharing ratio. On such matters concerning industry interests, Shanhe Media naturally had a stance.

Chen Zhiming obviously reacted as well: "Alright, Boss Wei, I'll arrange it immediately."

Hanging up the phone, Wei Jin walked from the balcony to the bedroom and saw Fan Bingbing, who had been conquered all night, scrolling through her phone with a rosy complexion, the corners of her mouth twitching from time to time.

"What's wrong?"

"Uncle, the character posters for the new version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" are out, the styling is a bit of an eyesore."

Wei Jin took the phone and looked, then started laughing along.

As the film and television industry became more prosperous, many veteran production companies became increasingly aggressive.

In the past two years, Huace Film & TV had made constant moves, spending money to buy many copyrights, and even launched a "Martial Arts New Project," capturing a total of 8 martial arts dramas by famous authors.

The "Magic Blade" broadcast during the summer vacation was the inaugural work of the "New Project," and with a national average viewership rating breaking 1, its performance was quite good.

And the "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" that Fan Bingbing spoke of was the second production.

It's just that the director, Lai Shuiqing, clearly had issues with the casting; not only did he use the male and female leads from "Magic Blade," Zhong Hanliang and Zhang Meng, but he actually brought in Kim Ki-bum, a member of the South Korean group Super Junior, to play Duan Yu.

Previously, many fans were still stubbornly hyping it up, but the moment the character stills were released, it immediately flopped.

"Is this definitely the Prince of Dali? So effeminate, wouldn't it be more appropriate to be a eunuch?"

"Zhang Meng is no good either, she doesn't have a shred of ethereal aura; how is she like the 'Fairy Sister'? Liu Yifei's version is still the classic."

"Is the director sick in the head? Zhong Hanliang is very handsome, but is he convincing playing the heroic and magnanimous Chief Qiao?"

"Another work that ruins a classic."

Regarding the netizens' comments, Wei Jin agreed wholeheartedly; the South Korean girl groups are somewhat interesting, but the boy groups really all follow an effeminate style—they are indeed quite sissy.

"By the way, why are you looking at this? You didn't invest in this show, did you?"

As he spoke, Wei Jin sat down behind Fan Bingbing's smooth back, reached around to the front, and gripped her firm, fair breasts; the latter felt both delighted and helpless in her heart.

What delighted her was that she was over thirty, yet her body remained enchanting; what she found helpless was that this man's desire was too strong, and she actually couldn't hold up.

Letting those large hands run wild, Fan Bingbing leaned into Wei Jin's embrace.

"I didn't invest, I just saw that the boy group is quite popular and remembered something, so I wanted to ask Uncle for a favor."

"Mm, go ahead."

"My younger brother is quite keen on debuting; Uncle, do you think he has the qualifications?"

As she spoke, Fan Bingbing pulled out a photo from her phone and handed it over; after Wei Jin took it, he glanced at it.

"How old is he?"

"Almost 13."

Wei Jin raised an eyebrow, and the hand gripping her breast paused slightly.

"Isn't that too young? He's already thinking about debuting?"

"Sigh, children nowadays are too heavily influenced by the Korean Wave; my brother really loves EXO and SJ, I really can't understand his thinking."

Fan Bingbing sighed while snuggled in Wei Jin's arms, revealing a rare, girlish demeanor.

Compared to those greasy, pretty-boy idols in boy groups, Fan Bingbing felt that only men like Wei Jin—handsome, wealthy, talented, physically strong, and with status—could be considered real men.

"You mean you want him to go to South Korea to be a trainee?"

Cradling the warm, soft jade in his arms, Wei Jin leaned against the headboard.

"Mm~~ his grades at school are average anyway, so I was thinking of just fulfilling his dream; what do you think, Uncle?"

"That's no problem at all; I'll have people over there arrange it."

Although Fan Chengcheng's qualifications weren't particularly outstanding—compared to Fan Bingbing, his looks were far inferior and could only be considered average—with Wei Jin's influence, getting a connection into the industry and securing a debut was not difficult at all.

"Uncle, thank you."

Afterward, her face carried a playful expression.

"Sister-in-law, you need to show some sincerity in your gratitude."

"Uncle, we played for so long last night, why do you want more again..."

Wei Jin ignored the woman's coquettish protest, reached out, and pressed down on her head; the latter rolled her eyes helplessly and slowly leaned down.

"Hiss~~~ why the attitude? I'm doing this for your own good; think about it, you're about to join the crew, isn't it good to have a few more meals?"

Speaking of which, among the artists in the various studios under Shanhe Media, Fan Bingbing could be called a model worker, even more so than Yang Mi.

Especially after the massive success of "Pacific Rim," her status had further improved, leading to all sorts of film offers.

Previously, because of the scheduling for "Suspect," she had already turned down director Jin Yimeng's romance film "One Night Surprise."

And last month, while she was still with the "Suspect" crew, she received an invitation from Bona to partner with Huang Xiaoming and play the female lead in "The Bride with White Hair of Lunar Kingdom," and they even specifically coordinated the schedule for her.

The extent to which this woman is currently in demand in the domestic entertainment industry is evident.

Regarding Wei Jin's "good intentions," Fan Bingbing felt she really couldn't handle it anymore, but since the atmosphere had already been built up to this point, she could only enjoy it.

Thus, Fan Bingbing got up and took the initiative to sit down at the card table. (End of chapter)
