Chapter 524

~13 min read 2,571 words

During this time, the most lively thing in the domestic film market is the selection of the new Four Dan Actresses.

However, this time is different from four years ago. It is not led by CCTV and selected by hundreds of mainstream media, but comprehensively judged by "Nan Du Entertainment Weekly" by gathering the power of netizens, media jury, and circle jury.

In other words, the space for operation is much larger, and many companies are spending money, brushing public opinion, and wanting to push people to the top.

Perhaps because they didn't want to encounter the embarrassment at the beginning, this selection did not regard Jing Tian and Liu Yifei as candidates. After all, these two felt like bullying others when they were with anyone.

Of course, Jing Tian and Liu Yifei might not be interested in participating themselves.

As one of the Four Dan Actresses of the previous session, compared to being mocked for not living up to the name four years ago, Yang Mi has developed very well over the years, blooming in both film and television, and many films and TV dramas have sold well.

Although there are times when she flops, in terms of popularity and commercial value, Yang Mi is absolutely the strongest existence among those born after 85, under Jing and Liu.

Coupled with the backing of Shanhe Media, Yang Mi firmly occupies a seat, and no one can shake her position.

And Liu Shishi, relying on two big-selling works "Palace" and "Xuan-Yuan Sword," although her status is not particularly high, her popularity is really not low.

Coupled with the full push of Tangren Miss Cai, the related announcements and water armies are very many, which is definitely one of the most powerful competitors.

In addition, relying on "Scarlet Heart" and "The Myth" to become popular, this year there is another hit masterpiece "Hello Old Times," and Bai Bin, who has achieved good results in the film circle, is also at the forefront of candidates.

Except for these three who have great certainty, the rest of the female stars are competing for the last seat, using all their skills.

Yang Ying pulled her "disabled" boyfriend Huang Xiaoming, and all kinds of announcements and resources were flying all over the sky, especially promoting the film "A First Love Diary" that had not been released for more than a year.

Although the circle looks down on this woman who has no works, no acting skills, and even needs eye drops for crying scenes, and even Liu Tianwang can't catch the play, but there is no way she has the backing of Huayi and a boyfriend who has stepped on capital, so it is really not easy to offend.

However, no one in the circle spoke, but there was a mockery on the Internet.

Huang Shengyi, one of the former Four Dan Actresses, has fallen from the clouds and is no longer the style of the past. This time, she also wants to seize the opportunity to become popular again.

Unfortunately, her good husband Juli Yang Zi can't come up with any resources, and Huang Shengyi is a bit older, and her exposure over the years is not enough. Even in the voting stage of netizens, she is already outside the top ten, and the chance is not big.

The rest of the female artists of Starry Sky Culture such as Nazha, Ni Ni, Zhao Liying, etc., are also among the candidates, but the ranking is not very high.

Overall, this session of Four Dan Actresses is more biased towards commercial attributes and more fighting for background.

However, in any case, once the title of Four Dan Actresses is obtained, the help to the female artist's career will be huge.

That's why, not only are major companies pushing hard, but the fans of each family are also arguing endlessly on the Internet, which adds a touch of liveliness to the upcoming Spring Festival.

Perhaps it was really anxious, "Lost in Thailand" hadn't gone offline, and Wei Jin received a call from Baldy Xu.

"General Manager Wei, didn't I disturb you?"

Listening to Baldy Xu's flattering voice, Wei Jin looked up at the crew that was being arranged, and said with a smile: "Not for the time being, congratulations on becoming a 1 billion director."

"In front of General Manager Wei, I dare not mention this, and I have to thank you for your promotion and willingness to give me this opportunity."

Xu Zheng's emotional intelligence is very high, which makes Wei Jin feel very comfortable, and this guy also promotes it like this to the outside world.

"Alright, don't say polite words. Even if you give you an opportunity, you have to be able to grasp it yourself. What's the matter with calling today?"

Although he knew it in his heart, Wei Jin still handed over a word.

"General Manager Wei, I want to ask, after 'Lost in Thailand,' does the company have a sequel plan?"

Wei Jin leaned on the chair behind the monitor and asked with a smile: "What if there is? What if there isn't?"

"Uh..."

Xu Zheng obviously didn't expect that Wei Jin would throw the question back. After deliberation, he asked: "If the company has a plan, can General Manager Wei continue to hand it over to me to direct?"

In fact, this is where Xu Zheng is anxious. Compared to Ning Hao, who created the first "Lost on Journey," he is a half-way car.

Although the results of "Lost in Thailand" are much better than the first one, he knows very well that there is a gap between the two in terms of reputation and content depth.

The key is that Ning Hao is a signed director of Shanhe Media. Even if "Lost in Thailand" has sold well, if there is a sequel, it may not fall on Xu Zheng's head.

"Hehe, then what if I tell you, there is no sequel plan?"

"This... this..."

Xu Zheng was speechless when he heard this. This was something he hadn't expected at all. According to the operation mode of capital, such a hot series IP, can't you decisively make a few more to circle money?

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. The sequel plan is definitely there, but the film hasn't gone offline yet, it's too early to discuss it now. And to avoid audience aesthetic fatigue, it must be slowed down. Can you understand this?"

"Understand, understand, then..."

Wei Jin understood Baldy Xu's worry and couldn't help but find it funny.

"Don't worry, if it is led by the company, in principle, the original cast will still be used. For the specifics, let's talk after I return to China. You can also make some ideas first. That's it, I'm busy filming, hang up first."

"Okay, General Manager Wei, you are busy, I'll wait for your notice, goodbye."

Hanging up the phone, Wei Jin started a new day of filming.

As the Spring Festival gets closer and closer, companies in the country are busy holding annual meetings, making quite a lot of gimmicks.

I have to say, Internet companies are really explosive, and many operations have refreshed the three views of the circle.

This year's 360 annual meeting invited Takizawa Laura, a national treasure-level goddess who became popular all over Japan as soon as she debuted, as a special guest of the annual meeting.

You have to know, this female star already went to sea to film full-nude AV last year, and I don't know if the guys at 360 have a chance to get close to her.

Netease is not far behind, and the annual meeting is flashy.

Old Ding, the top leader, personally put on the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, played a zombie, and thoughtfully gave his employees admission gifts, one small umbrella per person, which is also no one.

Perfect World is also very nonsense, the executives collectively played cosplay.

Compared with Internet companies, the entertainment industry seems much more normal.

Huang Xiaoming, known as a good boss in the entertainment industry, dragged his disabled body to attend the annual meeting, giving each employee of his studio a shopping card of 5,000 yuan, as well as the latest mobile phone, which attracted unanimous praise.

Qiao Zhenyu is gentle. Just after "My Sunshine" was finished, he didn't stop and arranged the studio's annual meeting. Laptops, mobile phones, cash, and other gifts are all available.

Fan Bingbing has absorbed a lot of money this year, and her shots are quite generous, with a big red envelope of 8888 per person, and lottery activities are calculated separately.

The most stingy Zhou Xun, after several years of education by the team, finally opened up. Although she was promoting the new film "Cloud Atlas," she still gave employees big red envelopes and recorded New Year's blessing videos.

However, compared with the group annual meeting of Shanhe Media, these are really insignificant.

When seeing the mountains of cash and gifts at the scene, and the three Japanese and Korean girl groups Girls' Generation, f(x), and AKB48 appearing at the annual meeting to perform on stage, the industry and media were stunned. A large number of netizens, looking at the photos and videos posted by employees spontaneously, were even more like being beaten with chicken blood.

"So many legs, blinded my eyes..."

"The legs are so white, long, straight, and full of vitality, I feel like I'm going to fall in love..."

"Is this Boss Wei's daily life? So yearning!"

"I just want to ask, is it too late to go now?"

"Brother, let me tell you, the traffic jam downstairs at Shanhe Building has been for half an hour, I'm afraid it's too late to go..."

"I've decided, go to Shanhe Media for an interview, even if it's a cleaner, I'll watch the annual meeting on the spot next year..."

"Not brother, don't you know the word outsourcing? Still cleaner watching the scene, what kind of daydream are you doing?"

"These three girl groups, even if there is a relationship, the price is estimated to be close to 10 million, plus the 20 million gift and cash prize pool, Boss Wei is too luxurious..."

"Hiss, Wei Jin, this dog rich man is really rich..."

"Sigh, Shanhe Media's several films and TV dramas, plus variety shows, conservatively estimated at least tens of billions of revenue, this expenditure, for him, is just sprinkling water."

"Damn, actually empathized with the capitalist, am I worthy?"

"Boss Wei, please support me, my body is soft and I'm good at it, not sticky..."

After the annual meeting, Zeng Li brought Dudu to North America.

Wei Jin was busy with filming tasks and arranged for Old Zhu to pick up the plane, but after the filming ended, he rushed back to the villa for the first time.

Just arriving in the house, he saw the little bean sitting beside Da Meiyuan, touching the latter's belly with one hand, looking like a curious baby.

"Ah, Dad, you're back..."

Seeing Wei Jin, the little bean ran over with her short legs, and Wei Jin stretched out his hands to hold her.

"Dudu, little baby, have you been tired after sitting on the plane for so long?"

Dudu, who was like a porcelain doll, shook her head immediately: "Dad, not tired, I watched cartoons for a while and then went to sleep, and when I woke up, I arrived."

Wei Jin scratched Dudu's little nose dotingly: "Hmm, Dudu is really good."

"Dad, Mom said you are going to take us out to play, right?"

Dudu's big eyes had a look of anticipation. In her memory, she hadn't traveled with her dad yet.

"Yes, in a few days Dad is going to work outdoors, and you and Mom can follow along for a trip, are you happy?"

Wei Jin rubbed the little girl's head, feeling a little apologetic.

"Happy, but I want Mom Yuanyuan to be with us, can I?"

"Uh..."

Wei Jin was stunned for a moment, and Zeng Li on the side had already spoken: "Didn't I say it, Mom Yuanyuan has a baby in her belly, it's not convenient to go out..."

Dudu tilted her head: "Then, wouldn't it be fine to let the baby come out and play with us?"

Listening to Dudu's innocent words, Wei Jin couldn't help but raise his mouth: "Dudu, the baby is still sleeping, so he can't play with you..."

While speaking, Wei Jin held Dudu and came to Da Meiyuan's side, reaching out to touch the latter's round belly.

"Then when will he wake up?"

Da Meiyuan pinched Dudu's little face and laughed: "Dudu, the baby is estimated to sleep for more than two months."

"Ah, he sleeps for so long, he can sleep better than a little pig."

"Hahaha..."

Inside the villa room, on the snow-white big bed, Wei Jin and Zeng Li were playing cards again.

At this time, Zeng Li had slight sweat on both sides of her nose, and her beautiful face, which had not been left with traces by time, showed an alluring flush.

The occasionally frowning eyebrows and slightly open red lips indicated that she was thinking about the trend of the next card game.

Although she had been with Wei Jin for almost ten years and knew each other well, facing the man's strength, Zeng Li still felt it was difficult to resist, and couldn't see any hope of winning at all.

After losing two points, the great beauty had to open her mouth to beg for mercy.

The great beauty who came back to her senses followed the rules of the competition, finished the post-match cleaning work, and then lay on Wei Jin's chest, enjoying the aftertaste of the competition.

After a long while, Zeng Li seemed to remember something, raised her head and looked at Wei Jin's handsome side face.

"Xiao Jin, I heard from Yuanyuan that Sister Yu joined 'The Crossing'?"

"Hmm, after New Year's Day, she received an invitation from Wu Baige and returned to China to talk about cooperation."

Wei Jin played with the big orange of the great beauty and replied absent-mindedly.

"I remember you didn't look good on this film, why didn't you persuade Sister Yu?"

Zeng Li squeezed into Wei Jin's arms, looking confused.

"Sister Yu is so old, do I need to persuade her? And you don't know her, she actually doesn't care whether the play is good or not, as long as there is money to earn..."

Yu Feihong is a person with very strong opinions. Whether it was giving up her school position to come to North America at the beginning, or tempering for ten years to smash pots and sell iron to film "Love Has a Lifetime," it is enough to prove this point.

And Old Han, who has such a good relationship, Wei Jin couldn't persuade him, let alone Yu Feihong, who only had a few meetings?

"Alright, Sister Li, don't worry about others, are you rested?"

Feeling the man's fingers starting to twist on the small particles, Zeng Li bit her red lips and then persuaded: "Xiao Jin, you are 30 years old, you have to know restraint."

"Sister Li, who was begging for mercy just now?"

Without waiting for the great beauty to refute, Wei Jin turned over directly.

This night, the moonlight in Beverly Hills was so charming... (End of chapter)
