Chapter 542: Bai Bin, Who Was Starved, and the Hunting Trip

After more than a month of promotion, the crew of *Sakra* finally returned to Beijing.

Wei Jin took time to arrange a dinner, which could be considered a welcome for Lu Yang and his party.

It could be seen that whether it was Director Lu Yang, or Bai Bin, Baoqiang, and Vincent Zhao, they were all obviously a bit exhausted physically, but their spirits were quite good.

After some pleasantries, everyone sat down one after another. Bai Bin sat beside Wei Jin without giving way, her eyes wishing she could eat him up right now, and her little hands were also a bit restless under the table.

Wei Jin rubbed gently on her beautiful legs wrapped in black silk, the meaning of comfort was very obvious: today is a whole night, don't be anxious.

Afterward, Wei Jin raised his glass to everyone, "Everyone, you've worked hard. The promotion before the release ends here. Rest for two days. After the premiere, everyone will have to work hard again. This glass of wine is to toast everyone first."

"President Wei is too polite, this is what we should do..."

Baoqiang and Vincent Zhao stood up immediately, but their movements were not slow. Their wine glasses were a finger lower than Wei Jin's, and after touching, they drank it directly.

It was Lu Yang who was too familiar, and he also knew that Wei Jin didn't like to pay attention to these, so he raised his glass from afar to signal, and also drank it dry.

Putting down the wine glass, Lu Yang looked at the actors: "This cooperation is not bad, all are good, we will continue to cooperate if there is a chance in the future."

"Director Lu, then I will take it seriously, this glass will be the deposit, hehe..."

Wang Baoqiang followed the pole and drank another glass without saying a word, making Vincent Zhao beside him dumbfounded. Is this "Sha Gen"?

However, his reaction was not slow, and he immediately raised his glass to Lu Yang, "Director Lu, you can summon me at any time."

Bai Bin seemed very reserved. She only had Wei Jin in her eyes at this moment, and even in her mind, she had already thought of various scenes for tonight.

Just seeing Vincent Zhao drinking urgently, she couldn't help but persuade: "Brother Zhuo, drink less, if you get drunk later, Sister Lulu will have to pick you up again..."

"Oh? Is Zhuo unable to drink much?"

Wei Jin was slightly surprised. Several people he knew who practiced martial arts had quite good alcohol tolerance, such as Little Wolf Warrior Wu Jing.

It seemed that he guessed Wei Jin's thoughts. A self-deprecating look appeared on Vincent Zhao's flushed face, "President Wei, I really can't drink much. Friends gave me the nickname 'Zhao One Cup.' I can only drink one beer mug of beer. At the wrap-up banquet of Emperor Group before, I made a fool of myself..."

"That doesn't matter, just right, let's drink less. Drinking is just for the atmosphere..."

Wei Jin set the tone, and for the rest of the dinner, not much wine was drunk, but it was still a happy occasion for both host and guest.

The welcome banquet ended, everyone went home, and Wei Jin also took the flushed Bai Bin to the Golden House.

Just didn't expect that, just after getting in the car, Bai Bin couldn't hold back, took the initiative to squat down, and her slender hands kept groping.

"Little Bai, so anxious?"

Ignoring Wei Jin's teasing, Bai Bin, with a pilgrimage-like mood, finally saw the friend she had missed for a long time.

Just smelling the familiar scent, Bai Bin felt as if she was about to suffocate, and her beautiful legs wrapped in black silk couldn't help but close together.

Afterward, her attractive red lips opened slightly, and her snow-white swan-like neck slowly lowered, giving Wei Jin infinite gentleness and tolerance.

"Hmm~~~"

Feeling the enthusiastic service of the little assistant who was both charming and seductive, Wei Jin also used his hand skills to point out Little Bai, just like when they were in North America.

"Hmm~~ Boss~~"

Perhaps it was truly empty for too long, and when the two arrived at the Golden House, Bai Bin had actually lost once.

"Little Bai, why are you so unable to hold up? Why don't you rest well tonight?"

"Boss, it's not your fault. It's been 256 days since you were intimate with people, humph."

Speaking of this, Bai Bin was a bit aggrieved. The sisters all had meat to eat, but she alone had suffered for more than eight months. Heaven knew how she had spent these days.

Thinking of this, Bai Bin squatted down again, continuing the unfinished work, but this time it was a bit fierce, as if she wanted to eat Wei Jin up completely.

"Hiss~~~ Little Bai, don't have emotions. Before the roadshow starts, I will accompany you, okay?"

Getting the assurance, Bai Bin's movements became gentle. Wei Jin couldn't help but reach out and touch her exquisite and charming pretty face, feeling a bit moved in his heart.

Honestly, listening to the numbers with zero and whole in the girl's mouth, Wei Jin was somewhat guilty, but the entertainment industry was like this. The popular little flower dancers were almost never resting.

All Wei Jin could do was to make good use of the time they were together to fill her up, so he gently patted Little Bai's charming pretty face and said softly: "Alright, Little Bai, next, let Boss love you well..."

Getting the signal, Bai Bin gently let go of Wei Jin, didn't do anything extra, just turned around and lay on the sofa.

Wei Jin reached out to lift the skirt, only then noticing that the place wrapped in black silk was already full of crystal traces.

No longer hesitating, accompanied by a "rip" sound, Wei Jin released Little Bai's restraint.

"Oh~~ Boss~~"

The highly anticipated *So Young* ushered in its premiere.

Although he didn't like Zhao Yanzi, he still had to give face to the film controlled by Enlight Pictures. Wei Jin arranged for Chen Zhiming to represent the company to join in the fun.

Must say, Enlight Pictures' publicity resources were indeed good. Wei Jin was busy editing in the company, and when he rested, he could brush up on the graphic live broadcast of this premiere online.

It was just that as an actor-turned-director, there were not many industry directors who went to join in the fun for her, and they were basically from the Hong Kong circle.

In other words, if Enlight Pictures wasn't the controlling party, there would be even fewer guests going to join in the fun. It was just the Beijing Film Academy members like Huang Xiaoming, and the members of Wang Fei's "Little Second Class."

*Sakra*, released a day apart, was always a topic that couldn't be avoided.

However, perhaps because of the big sale of *Left Ear* and the recent popularity, this time Zhao Yanzi expressed more confidence.

"*So Young* has a huge fan base. I believe we can defeat all opponents at the box office!"

"But the drawbacks of fan films are also very obvious. Can *So Young* guarantee that its word-of-mouth won't collapse?"

Regarding this question, Zhao Yanzi obviously had a draft early on.

"*So Young* and *Left Ear* have different fan groups. Our target group will be more rational, just like *Twilight* and *The Hunger Games* back then, both are adaptations of best-selling books, but the word-of-mouth is completely different..."

Fine, this wave of concept swapping successfully fooled the media, but think carefully, is it really like this?

Perhaps because Old Wang's relationship was in place, the premiere of *So Young* ended, and the reports from media reporters were generally good.

The next day, *Sakra* also ushered in its premiere.

The circle was teasing that the media had been busy these two days. The two most watched films in the May Day slot not only had adjacent schedules but even the premieres were adjacent.

However, different from *So Young*, *Sakra* was written by Wei Jin and directed by Lu Yang, receiving more attention in the industry.

And Vincent Zhao and Wang Baoqiang were also actors who had been famous in the industry for a long time, and Bai Bin's Four Young Dan was still hot.

Therefore, there were more big-name guests coming to join in the fun today. Industry giants, China Film Group, Wanda, Huayi, Enlight, Xingmei, Bona, Emperor, etc., were almost all there. Even if the number one didn't come, it was absolutely the number two.

In addition, well-known directors in the industry, Jiang Wen, Wu Ershan, Tsui Hark, Old Mouzi, Ning Hao, etc., were not absent.

As for star artists, there were even more, countless first and second-tier in the circle.

As one of the producers, Emperor Group's Boss Yang came to stand for them himself today. Seeing Wei Jin, he apologized to the people around him and walked over, still followed by the beautiful mature woman Huo Wenxi.

"President Wei, long time no see."

"Chairman Yang, long time no see."

Wei Jin responded with a smile, then looked at Huo Wenxi again, "Mani, haven't seen you for a few months, you look even more radiant than before..."

"Wei Sheng is really good at talking. I'm almost old and yellow, how can I compare to young little girls, hehe..."

Huo Wenxi covered her mouth and smiled, humble on her lips, but a bit proud in her heart.

"By the way, President Wei, are you not considering releasing *The Raid 2* in the second half of the year?"

This year, Emperor Group had shrunk its investment scale. Besides the two films of Golden Harvest and the film about to be released, there was only *Personal Tailor* in cooperation with Huayi, and a small-budget *As the Light Goes Out* controlled by the company.

Overall, the profit situation was not optimistic, and Boss Yang was also a bit anxious.

But Wei Jin had his own considerations and shook his head: "Chairman Yang, the situation of the previous one was not bad, still need to choose a suitable schedule. This year is indeed a bit rushed. Let's see if there is a good schedule early next year."

Hearing this, Boss Yang remembered the information released by China Film Group a few days ago and could only sigh that the priority of *The Raid 2* was not enough.

"Fine, then I'll listen to President Wei."

Chatting with Boss Yang for a while, the premiere soon began.

Today's premiere didn't play any tricks. After the main creators simply shared interesting things during the filming process, they directly played the feature film.

Under Wei Jin's adaptation, the characters in this film were fuller, and the plot logic was combed more smoothly.

Especially the Feng Yuhui played by Wang Baoqiang, the fist-to-flesh fighting scenes and the acting like a madman made a large number of audiences and guests at the scene feel very shocked.

"Baoqiang's acting is amazing. He could still restrain the devil in his heart before his wife died, and after his wife died, he completely turned into a demon. Explosive!"

"Vincent Zhao is also fierce, the action is clean and neat, not losing the wind at all..."

"Only I noticed that Bai Bin is very moist? Especially the corners of her mouth, naturally hooked upward, too tempting..."

"..."

Many directors and audiences at the scene were discussing, and for the nearly two-hour film, few people left their seats, which could be considered a very high affirmation of a film.

As the lights came on, the film curtain fell, and the applause at the scene was like thunder.

Entering the reporter interview session, box office was always the core topic of the premiere.

Lu Yang was very funny, holding the microphone and looking at Wei Jin.

"The previous *Saving Mr. Wu* premiere, my Senior Brother didn't attend, and the result was that the box office couldn't reach 400 million. This time he is at the scene, I'm thinking, how can it be doubled?"

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar at the scene. Good heavens, this doubling wouldn't be seven hundred million? So confident? The media handed the microphone to Wei Jin. After all, the latter's divine prediction had been verified many times.

However, this was Wei Jin's adapted script, and there was no reference answer for the box office.

After deliberation, Wei Jin said half-jokingly: "We can strive to double it. As for the bottom line, 500 million. Not setting it too high is the hope that Director Lu can continue to improve in the next one..."

Wei Jin gave a ladder here, and Lu Yang followed it down.

"Fine, I believe in Senior Brother's judgment, then the bottom line is 500 million, striving for 700 million!"

Cocktail party time, the scene was intertwined with cups.

Quite a few star artists came to Wei Jin's side to say hello and get familiar.

Not long after, Ning Hao also walked over with a wine glass.

Wei Jin originally thought he was coming to discuss the promotion of *No Man's Land*, after all, this film was only a month away from release.

Just didn't expect that, Ning Hao, who had never been productive, actually had new ideas before *No Man's Land* and *A Cool Fish* were released. This shocked Wei Jin.

"Senior Brother, your efficiency is high enough?"

"Hehe, it's also an accident. This Spring Festival, I went traveling with Xiaojun, and got the inspiration."

The Xiaojun in Ning Hao's mouth, full name Yue Xiaojun, Wei Jin knew.

This was a talented player who started halfway. Before entering the industry, he set up street stalls, sold small commodities, and also tossed office equipment in Zhongguancun.

By chance, he studied at the Central Academy of Drama, later met Ning Hao, and the two hit it off and became partners.

When filming *Crazy Stone* back then, although Wei Jin gave a good budget, Ning Hao was doing a production of several million for the first time. To save money, he pulled Yue Xiaojun to play the younger brother of Dao Ge himself.

It was the guest actor who said the classic quote in the film: "How can you do such a thing? Are you worthy of the Big Brother, are you worthy of me?"

Because this sentence had too much information, it was still a very popular meme on the internet until now.

Including the later *Crazy Racer*, Yue Xiaojun also participated in the screenwriting work, which could be considered Ning Hao's iron magnet.

It was just that Ning Hao's explanation made Wei Jin even more confused.

"You don't stay at home to accompany your wife and children, and go traveling with a big man? Does Sister Na agree?"

Ning Hao sighed and explained slightly: "Xiaojun is divorced. During the Spring Festival, he drank at my house, and a big man cried sadly. Your Sister Na couldn't bear it, so she let me take him out to clear his head..."

Listening to Ning Hao's explanation, Wei Jin only then knew that the two went all the way from Beijing to Beihai, not only enjoying the scenery along the way but also looking for girls, and unexpectedly found inspiration.

As expected, this should be the *Breakup Buddies* known as the "Hunting Trip."

"Senior Brother, your art really comes from life..."

Wei Jin's tone had a bit of emotion, then clinked glasses with Ning Hao, "The idea is quite good, is the script perfected?"

Ning Hao nodded: "The rough draft is ready, Xiaojun is still refining it. It is estimated to be about half a month. I plan to start after *No Man's Land* is released, striving to finish it before *A Cool Fish* is released."

"Fine, when the script comes out, let's talk in detail."

"Good."
