Chapter 561: The Assistant and the Little Lover's Graduation Party

~15 min read 2,838 words

Wei Jin did not expect the Golden Horse to be so swift; only one night had passed, and his name was already hanging in the film and television news, and as a headline at that.

"The jury and guest lineup for this year's Golden Horse Awards has been officially announced, with the list as follows: Palme d'Or winner, Golden Bear Director, Oscar Director, box office record holder, and last year's Golden Horse Best Director Wei Jin will serve as a presenter; Mainland China's top-tier actress Li Bingbing has been invited to join the jury to participate in the final selection process; Best Actor Huang Bai will continue to serve as the host for the closing ceremony."

Honestly, Wei Jin did not expect that he, a mere presenter, would actually be ranked first in the Mainland China camp.

But thinking about his status, it seemed even less appropriate to put anyone else in front.

Furthermore, another piece of news reposted by the media from the official Golden Horse website surprised Wei Jin a little.

Even though there were still a few days left before the Golden Horse registration began, a group of directors including Feng Dapao, Jia Kezhang, Zhao Yanzi, Zhou Xingxing, and Chen Kexin had already sent written replies confirming their participation in the competition for this year's Golden Horse Awards.

It looked like they were somewhat impatient.

Upon second thought, Wei Jin suddenly understood; this bunch of people were truly too cunning.

The registration for the Golden Rooster would end in just these two days; this early declaration was clearly to avoid being "united" by certain people.

"Hehe, this year's Golden Rooster is afraid it's going to be dull and lackluster."

After sighing with emotion, Wei Jin got up and headed to the company.

As for Liu Yifei, she must have been truly exhausted from the filming during this period, and she was sleeping very sweetly at this moment.

Wei Jin estimated that this girl probably wouldn't get up until noon.

Carrying a pleasant mood, Wei Jin arrived at the company, exchanged a few jokes with the receptionist Zhang Wen, and walked straight toward his office.

Before long, Lao Chen knocked on the door and walked in to start reporting on work.

During the filming of *Star Luck*, all the company's various tasks were proceeding in an orderly manner.

In terms of film, perhaps because the budget was sufficient, Jin Yukun's efficiency was very high; that film *The Coffin in the Mountain* was wrapped in just a little over a month.

Currently, Jin Yukun is busy with post-production work at the company, which is expected to be finished before the end of July.

It's funny to say, but Jin Yukun might have been scared by poverty; the crew's meals were actually handed over to his wife's family to handle.

And since this family were all honest people, the six-million budget wasn't even fully spent in the end.

Of course, Lao Chen didn't take this portion back in the end, but instead distributed it as red envelopes to the crew at the wrap party.

The script for *Lost and Love* has already passed the review, but Wen Muye is very concerned about the first feature film project he is directing, and he is currently still doing pre-production and storyboarding.

The promotion for *Shendu Longwang* has reached the final stage, and after discussing with China Film Group and Enlight Media, the premiere was scheduled for the 2nd.

In addition, Zhang Yimou's new film preparation is also going smoothly, and the male and female leads have already been confirmed.

In terms of variety shows, the first season of *Flowers and Youth* has concluded, with a peak viewership rating reaching 3.4 and an average rating maintained at a high of 2.76, which is far beyond previous estimates.

Therefore, the negotiations for *Sisters Over Flowers* with Shanghai Television went very smoothly, and the contract has already been signed.

Currently, the variety department is selecting guests, and it is said that many people have already started pulling strings.

As for the other show, *Go Fighting! *, the proposal has already been produced, but even with the experience from *Keep Running*, there are many things to consider for this type of outdoor reality show, so it cannot be launched in a rush.

In terms of television dramas, the three dramas *Qing Yu Nian*, *Dragon Snake*, and *My Sunshine* were all sold at the screening meeting at the beginning of the month.

As a major costume drama that Shanhe Media had been preparing for over a year and adapted from a popular web novel, *Qing Yu Nian* was scrambled for by multiple television stations at the screening meeting.

It was eventually acquired by Shanghai Television, Jiangsu TV, and Jiangzhe Satellite TV jointly at a price of 4.2 million per episode, in an attempt to replicate the miracle of *Eastern Palace* from early last year.

The situations for *Dragon Snake* and *My Sunshine* were also quite good.

As the first National Martial Arts television drama in the country, the television stations were somewhat cautious, but relying on the good reputation built by Shanhe Media over the years, it was still acquired by Shandong TV and Mountain City Station jointly at a price of 2.4 million per episode.

As an urban idol romance drama with the addition of Qiao Zhenyu, it was generally favored by television stations, and after some competition, it was acquired by Mango TV and Hui Province Satellite TV jointly at a price of 3.6 million per episode.

Calculating it, the first-round broadcast rights for the three dramas directly realized nearly 400 million in revenue, and after deducting production costs, the net profit exceeded 150 million.

Adding in the subsequent second and third rounds as well as online copyrights, this profit will at least double.

In addition, *With You* also concluded in the middle of the month, with an average viewership rating as high as 2.58%, which is definitely a very eye-catching achievement among high-quality works.

Therefore, the second and third-round broadcast rights for this drama also sold well, with 8 television stations offering a cumulative price of 2.8 million per episode, even higher than the first round.

The online copyright was still sold to Tudou, at a price of 800,000 per episode.

Calculating it, this youth campus drama with a production cost of only 30 million had a total revenue as high as 144 million, and even after deducting production costs, promotion costs, and other expenses, the net profit approached the 100 million mark.

Television dramas nowadays are truly profiteering! "By the way, President Wei, during the screening meeting earlier, the purchasing department heads of several television stations chatted about a piece of gossip."

"Hmm, Lao Chen, go ahead."

"It is said that the policies from above have tightened, and the review of television dramas will be stricter in the future; works like *Dragon Snake* and *Ghost Blows Out the Light* will probably be difficult to pass the review."

Wei Jin understood in his heart; with the vigorous development of the television drama market, the scale of review will indeed become increasingly tighter.

In fact, when *Longling Miku* was popular before, there were already some discordant voices, but they just didn't form a very large wave of public opinion.

However, this was within his expectations; Wei Jin leaned back in his boss chair, looking calm and composed.

"It doesn't matter, Lao Chen. Continue making the *Ghost Blows Out the Light* series. If it can't be aired on satellite TV, we will go directly through online broadcast channels.

In addition, you can notify the screenwriting department that the copyrights the company has hoarded can be slowly adapted."

"But President Wei, the price for online broadcasting is not very high; at most, it will just break even."

"Lao Chen, you have to look at it with a developmental perspective. The price of online broadcasting is rising every year, and it will definitely be the mainstream in the future. It is never wrong for us to be prepared in advance.

Of course, I'm not saying we should abandon the television station front; we will grasp both, and both must be strong. Besides, the company has more and more artists, so this can be considered giving them more room to perform."

"President Wei, I understand."

Chen Zhiming nodded thoughtfully, and then seemed to remember something.

"By the way, President Wei, the premiere of *Blind Detective*, the premiere of *Tai Chi Hero*, and the launch press conference for *The Crossing*..."

Hearing a whole bunch of invitations, Wei Jin was speechless and hurriedly waved his hand.

"Lao Chen, you handle these yourself; I won't be attending."

"Uh, that's fine, I'll arrange it then."

Chen Zhiming didn't force it; having worked together for many years, he knew very well that Wei Jin didn't like socializing.

"By the way, President Wei, regarding the matter of the assistant, should the company issue an announcement?"

"Hmm, not for now; let's talk about it after some time."

"Good." After dismissing Lao Chen, Wei Jin paid some attention to industry news.

Since the Shanghai International Film Festival a few days ago, Guo Xiaosi and *Tiny Times* had been at the center of a storm, being singled out and criticized by many seniors in the film circle.

Guo Xiaosi had cried to the media several times, accusing the film industry of being exclusionary and suppressing him, and even bluntly stating that just because he was a new director, it shouldn't mean his work and the actors' efforts were completely denied.

He hoped the industry would have more understanding and tolerance, and not let a film newcomer lose confidence in the film and television industry. Now, on the day *Tiny Times* was released, a premiere was held in Beijing. Facing the reporters' cameras, Guo Xiaosi changed his previous weak stance and immediately made a bold declaration.

"*Tiny Times* is a work I poured my heart and blood into. It is absolutely a good film, and winning the Best Picture award is well-deserved."

"I also believe that after today, the industry's inherent impressions will definitely change. All slander will collapse without attack under the support of the 'Clovers.' Let us wait and see!"

It had to be said that the influence of the original work was indeed great.

At this moment, the fans of *Tiny Times* seemed to be in a state of high excitement, all rushing to the cinemas to support Guo Xiaosi with practical actions.

A large number of photos taken from cinema chains showed that the screenings for *Tiny Times* basically had long queues, and the vast majority of those buying tickets were young girls.

These girls even organized themselves to write the words "Support *Tiny Times*" on their faces and arms, as if they were possessed.

And thanks to the explosive popularity of *So Young* and recent buzz, the screen allocation from the cinema chains was surprisingly high, with an average allocation rate approaching 35%.

For a new director, this could be called exaggerated.

All signs indicated that the first-day box office for this film was definitely going to be a huge hit.

Therefore, in media reports, it seemed as if Guo Xiaosi was destined to become a new major commercial film director, just like Zhao Yanzi two months ago.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The sound of knocking on the door pulled Wei Jin back from the computer screen. He looked up and a smile appeared on his face.

"Why are you two here? Isn't it the graduation ceremony?"

"Brother, it's already over."

Guli Nazha, dressed in a bachelor's gown, walked over with a smile and answered, while Huang Mengying, in the same attire, nodded along.

As they spoke, the two had already reached Wei Jin's executive chair. He took the opportunity to reach out and pull the two little beauties into his arms, holding one on each side.

It was just that the feeling of the fabric made Wei Jin realize that the material of this bachelor's gown seemed better than the one he had when he graduated? "Then why didn't you get together with your classmates?"

"Oh, we've already had many parties before graduation. I missed you, Brother..."

Nazha's soft, sweet voice revealed a deep longing. Wei Jin could understand it; after all, girls of this age were just this clingy, and Jing Tian was about the same back then.

Come to think of it, it had been over two months since he had tasted Nazha.

"What about you, Meng Ying? I remember you have a pretty good relationship with your roommates, right?"

"Mm, I've already made plans with them to get together tonight."

Huang Mengying seemed a bit more shy than Nazha, and she leaned close to Wei Jin's ear to whisper: "So, this afternoon I belong to the boss. This outfit was prepared especially for you, and Nazha's is the same, oh."

Seeming to see the confusion on Wei Jin's face, Huang Mengying took his large hand and guided it into the wide bachelor's gown.

In an instant, Wei Jin was stunned. Good heavens, this truly was a case of "the sea of learning is boundless."

The little lover and the assistant were already capable of setting things up themselves. A graduation party? While Wei Jin was still shocked that Huang Mengying was wearing nothing underneath, Nazha had already proactively knelt down to greet a familiar friend.

"Hiss~~"

Seeing Wei Jin show an expression of enjoyment, Huang Mengying was not to be outdone. She unbuttoned the bachelor's gown, and her vibrant, perky assets instantly emitted an alluring fragrance.

The nearly pure black, solemn bachelor's gown contrasted beautifully with her steaming, fair, and delicate body.

This beautiful scenery also made Wei Jin swell up, and he couldn't help but lower his head deeply.

"Mm~~ Boss~~"

At the beauty's call, Wei Jin naturally wouldn't remain indifferent, and his handiwork immediately unfolded within the wide bachelor's gown.

It had to be said that Huang Mengying had truly grasped his preferences well after being with him all these years; the texture of the shiny black silk was extremely delicate, making him unable to keep his hands off it.

Especially the crotchless design, which revealed the essence of this outfit perfectly.

After ten minutes of preparation, whether it was Nazha providing the service or Huang Mengying receiving it, their faces were already flushed.

Wei Jin no longer hesitated. He stood up, took the two beauties, and went to the office lounge, preparing to fully enjoy these young, delicate bodies wrapped in bachelor's gowns and black silk. Ever since she was severely disciplined by Wei Jin last time, Nazha knew that she would definitely have to share him with others often in the future.

Therefore, after her classmate Huang Mengying proposed the idea this time, she did not refuse. After all, compared to others, they were at least more familiar with each other.

Moreover, she had to return to the set to film tomorrow, so she was indeed in a rush.

It was just that Nazha didn't expect Huang Mengying's talent to be much greater than her own, and she felt a lot of pressure now.

And as her little hands measured, Huang Mengying, who usually didn't show off, actually had legs that were heaven-defyingly long and round.

But fortunately, Huang Mengying's combat power was lacking; she had only lost once before she was already crying out words full of begging for mercy like "Professor" and "Daddy."

"Hmph, a player of this level is destined not to become a rival to me, Guli Nazha."

Just as Nazha was thinking this, she suddenly felt herself being picked up; it turned out the man was already changing up his methods.

"Nazha, do you like it like this?"

Wei Jin maintained an attitude of being responsible to the end, biting lightly on the girl's crystalline earlobe and whispering.

"Mm~~ Brother, whatever you do, Nazha likes it all~ ah~~"

"Nazha's little mouth is so sweet, let Brother pamper you well."

After speaking, Wei Jin focused on his work and took a step forward. After all, Nazha wasn't old, but her appetite wasn't small.

Huang Mengying, who had already caught her breath on the side, saw this scene and exclaimed that it was impressive.

She couldn't imagine that Nazha's frail body could actually persist for so long under the boss's superhuman stamina; no wonder she was so favored.

However, as Wei Jin pressed on step by step, Nazha eventually ran out of stamina. About half an hour later, her arches tensed, and the snow-white arms wrapped around the man's neck tightened even more.

"Brother, coming, coming..."

"Good Nazha, wait a little longer..."

After speaking, Wei Jin placed the girl on the soft bed and began the final physical exertion.

In less than two minutes, Nazha couldn't hold back anymore, and her "tears" gushed out like the Huangguoshu Waterfall.

Feeling the vastness of the landscape, Wei Jin also felt his heart surge, and he immediately burst into a loud song. (End of this chapter)
