Chapter 564

Jinling, National Forest Park.

*Wolf Warrior* is about to start filming. The scene is covered with red tables, and the crew has prepared offerings such as pig heads, fruits, etc., and incense burners.

The tradition of the opening ceremony is mainly to seek peace of mind.

And at this moment, Wu Jing, the protagonist of today, has a mood that is hard to express. He thought of all kinds of things in the past.

He has been in Hong Kong for many years, but the salary at that time was not high. It was hard to save a few million, and *Legendary Assassin* lost it all.

Now it is his second movie, with a production cost as high as 80 million. His hands that have practiced martial arts for a long time actually couldn't help but tremble.

"Why haven't they come yet?"

Xie Nan on the side knew that he didn't sleep much last night, so she patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, the crew's car set off half an hour ago, it is estimated that they are already on the way back, wait a little longer."

"Mm, wait a little longer..."

It's not just Wu Jing who is anxious, the media at the scene are also waiting for Wei Jin to appear.

To put it ugly, whether it is the film circle or the media circle, they are not optimistic about this movie directed and acted by Wu Jing.

Because looking at the current situation in China, all military-themed films in the market are losing money at the box office without exception.

So most of the media reporters today are here for the face of Shanhe Media.

Fortunately, they didn't wait too long. In about ten minutes, an SUV stopped. The reporters immediately picked up their cameras.

When they saw Wei Jin holding Gao Yuanyuan's hand and getting out of the car, many media were excited. Today's wait was not in vain. Isn't this headline stable?

"Boss Wei, Yuanyuan."

Compared to Wu Jing, Xie Nan's reception was obviously more spring-breezy and very kind, giving Gao Yuanyuan a hug.

"Boss Wei, you finally came. I finally have a bottom in my heart, hehe..."

"Yo, this doesn't look like Comrade 'Leng Feng,' the temperament must be in place, haha..."

Wei Jin smiled and greeted Wu Jing, and by the way, looked at the opening scene of the crew.

How to say, it's a bit more desolate than imagined. Very few people in the circle came to support, and almost all those who arrived were connections of Guangxian and Xie Nan in the circle.

Currently, it seems that the status and influence of Wolf Warrior Wu Jing in the film and television circle are still a bit lacking.

"Cough cough, Boss Wei, it's really not a coincidence today. Brother Jun is busy with the promotion of *Like Fog, Like Rain, Like Wind*, Brother Hua's *Blind Detective* is also about to be released, and Xiaoming's *The Patriot Yue Fei* is also promoting..."

Seeming to see Wei Jin's thoughts, Wu Jing forcibly saved a wave of dignity, specifically pointing out a few big names with good relationships to explain.

"It doesn't matter, it's just the opening. Let's make the scale bigger when it premieres."

Wei Jin patted Wu Jing on the shoulder and didn't say anything more, greeting several members of the crew.

He was very familiar with the first female lead Yu Nan, but he was seeing the veteran actor Ni Dahong, who played the big villain, for the first time.

This person's image on the screen is too classic. Whether it is Sima Yi in *Three Kingdoms* or Su Daqiang later, it is quite vivid.

Wei Jin pondered that if there is a chance, he can cooperate.

After greeting for a while, the opening ceremony of *Wolf Warrior* officially began.

Wei Jin was a bit fortunate that Gao Yuanyuan's weight loss during this period was quite effective, so she managed to muddle through the media's interview.

It was he himself who was asked many questions about why he wanted to invest in the movie.

"I think such a movie can let the audience understand the true purpose of modern warfare and special operations, which is very educational. And Director Wu Jing is very persistent, I am willing to support his dream..."

A few words moved Wu Jing so much that he was about to shed tears of a wolf warrior on the spot.

More than an hour later, the ceremony ended, and the media reporters left one after another.

Wu Jing, according to the production schedule of the production team, clarified the scenes to be filmed today and talked about the scenes with several actors who needed to appear.

Wei Jin had been observing from the side until the first shot was finished, then he took Gao Yuanyuan away from the scene and walked into the forest park accompanied by Xie Nan and others.

Although it was already the end of June, the forest was shaded by green trees, so it didn't feel stuffy, and it felt quite good.

At the same time, there were relevant reports on major portal websites.

"Jointly produced by Shanhe Media and Dengfeng International, directed and acted by Wu Jing, and joined by powerful actors such as Yu Nan and Ni Dahong, the military action film *Wolf Warrior* held an opening ceremony in Jinling today, and the film officially started filming!"

"Big director Wei Jin participated in the opening ceremony as an investor, and the popular big-name actress Gao Yuanyuan, who has not appeared for a long time, accompanied him. The two's relationship is suspected to be exposed..."

"Wei Jin bluntly said that the movie is very meaningful, and dreams need support!"

However, it didn't fulfill the wishes of the media reporters. The news of Wei Jin and Gao Yuanyuan appearing together failed to occupy the headline.

Because a piece of news from across the ocean shocked the entire entertainment industry.

The media tycoon Murdoch of News Corporation filed for divorce from Ms. Deng.

Reasonably speaking, the news of a foreign couple's divorce shouldn't be so sensational, but it couldn't hold up that the wealth involved in this divorce lawsuit was too huge.

When he divorced his previous wife, he signed a divorce agreement to pay 1.7 billion USD, exploding a bunch of gold coins.

And this time, according to Hollywood media statistics, Ms. Deng may share wealth of more than 1 billion USD.

At this moment, the news directly landed on the headline, and countless netizens were discussing it.

"The channel for mainland actresses to go to sea has one less, and Sister Lotus's subsequent resources are worrying..."

"Ms. Deng's wave is directly rich, which can be called an inspirational legend of the mistress's rise, worthy of countless female compatriots to learn!"

"14 years of marriage, blood earning 1 billion USD, an average of more than 70 million a year, this business is done!"

"When you are young, you have to find an old one, and then find a small one after financial freedom..."

All kinds of messy remarks filled the internet, which was really a bit ruined, but also very realistic.

Wei Jin didn't pay much attention after scanning a few eyes; after all, he didn't have any intersection with Ms. Deng.

Gao Yuanyuan was a bit curious, constantly asking Wei Jin whose wealth was more between him and Murdoch.

"According to the media's estimate, Murdoch's net worth is probably around 10-15 billion USD, which should still be worse than me..."

Wei Jin's slightly Versailles tone made Gao Yuanyuan even more curious.

"Then how much money do you actually have?"

"Uh, this, Sister Yuanyuan, you are embarrassing me..."

Wei Jin certainly wouldn't doubt that Gao Yuanyuan wanted to explode gold coins; after all, the part of the equity he transferred to their mother and son in North America was worth 600-700 million USD.

Including the part previously held by Zeng Li, it has also appreciated to nearly 1 billion USD over the years.

It's just that to let him calculate his own wealth, Wei Jin really couldn't give an intuitive answer.

"Probably, just four, five, six, seven, eight Murdochs?"

Although the tycoon Murdoch became a unit of measurement, Gao Yuanyuan didn't find it funny at all. She couldn't calculate it in her mind.

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan suddenly felt that this dog man was so unfaithful, it seemed not incomprehensible... In the evening, Wei Jin didn't have dinner with the *Wolf Warrior* crew, but prepared to take Gao Yuanyuan to the appointment of Director Zhou of the Jiangsu TV station.

There was no help for it; since *Zhu Xian* in 2007, Shanhe Media has cooperated with Jiangsu TV. Over the past six years, both sides have cooperated very happily in both the TV series field and the variety show field.

Even people gave face back then and withdrew from the investment in *City of Life and Death*.

This time, it was hard to get to their territory, and the invitation was warm, so Wei Jin really couldn't refuse. Regarding this, Wu Jing also expressed understanding, saying that after the movie wrapped, they would gather well in Beijing.

But looking at the backs of Wei Jin and Gao Yuanyuan leaving, Wu Jing felt a bit emotional.

"Boss Wei is too loyal, but there is one thing that is not good, he is too popular with girls."

"Are you very envious?"

Xie Nan suddenly asked a soul-searching question.

"Of course, impossible."

Wu Jing was worthy of being a martial arts practitioner. Feeling the murderous aura vaguely, his reaction was quite fast, and his baby face was full of loyalty.

"Nannan, you know me, my heart is small, only enough to hold you alone."

"Hmph, virtue."

Xie Nan rolled her eyes, but the upward arc of the corners of her mouth betrayed her mood at the moment.

On the other side, Wei Jin took Gao Yuanyuan all the way to a private restaurant with a very retro decoration, and saw that several people from Jiangsu TV had already arrived.

"Director Zhou, everyone, sorry, sorry, kept you waiting."

"Haha, Junior Brother Wei is polite, we just arrived for a while. It's rare for you to come over, you must taste our Huaiyang cuisine today."

Director Zhou smiled and greeted, then looked at Gao Yuanyuan, and rarely made a joke: "Junior Brother Wei, it's really a talented man and a beautiful woman..."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled gently, feeling sweet in her heart.

What she likes to hear most is these words, even more than the words praising herself.

There were also several people at the banquet, either deputy directors or heads of various departments.

Gao Yuanyuan knew only the pillars of Jiangsu TV, host Li Hao and his wife Guo Xiaomin, and their attitude towards her was quite polite.

After three rounds of drinking, the head of the variety show department of Jiangsu TV brought up a topic.

"Boss Wei, in terms of movies, you are an expert. We have an idea, can you give us some advice?"

"Oh?"

Wei Jin put down his chopsticks and listened attentively. "Director Xu, please speak."

"It's like this, the viewership of *Dad, Where Are We Going? * this season is quite good, and the audience group is also very large. However, it will take too long for the next season to be broadcast."

"We thought, why not make a special edition? On the one hand, it is to meet the needs of the audience, and on the other hand, it is to warm up for the second season. What do you think?"

"..."

Wei Jin was silent when he heard this. He didn't expect that this thick-browed and big-eyed Jiangsu TV station would also play this set.

Damn what special edition, isn't it just making a big movie to harvest fans?

"Junior Brother Wei, if you have anything, just say it directly. We don't need to worry too much about our relationship."

Perhaps seeing Wei Jin not speaking, Director Zhou paved the way.

"Director Zhou, Director Xu, the heat of the variety show is indeed good, but we have to consider that paid viewing and free variety shows have completely different experiences for the audience..."

After careful consideration, Wei Jin expressed his thoughts.

Jiangsu TV has no experience in making movies. He can guess with his toes how awkward this movie will be after it is made.

This kind of fan-harvesting practice is actually overdrawing the audience's enthusiasm. Perhaps it will earn a sum at the box office, but for the variety show itself, the impact is too great.

You know, Shanhe Media and Jiangsu TV signed a viewership agreement. Wei Jin would definitely not agree to this kind of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

As for letting Shanhe Media lead such a movie project, it is even more ridiculous. Is the script department's script not enough? Why do you have to do this? Including the previous Shanghai TV and Zhejiang TV, they actually had ideas about *The Voice* and *Keep Running*, and Wei Jin also refused.

"Okay, Junior Brother Wei is an expert in this area, so let's not mention this matter."

Seeing Wei Jin's firm attitude, Director Zhou didn't talk much about this topic, but turned to talk about the *Go Fighting! * project.

The meaning between the lines was that they really wanted to include this outdoor variety show that had not yet started.

Regarding this, Wei Jin didn't express a clear attitude, only saying that under the same conditions, he would definitely give priority.

Although TV stations are usually the strong side, with the good word-of-mouth accumulated by Shanhe Media over the years, Wei Jin's words sounded very confident.

Jiangsu TV, including Director Zhou, had no opinion. After all, involving a variety show with a production cost of over 100 million, it is impossible to decide in a few words. Being able to get Wei Jin's personal promise of priority is already not bad.

So a party can be said to be happy for both the host and the guest.

"Xiao Jin, why do I feel that Jiangsu TV is a bit anxious? Wouldn't this be unfavorable for subsequent negotiations?"

Returning to the hotel, Gao Yuanyuan, who had drunk a little thin wine, had a slightly red face and asked curiously.

"Mm, they are indeed a bit anxious, but this also has something to do with the situation in their station..."

Wei Jin was a bit emotional, then took the beauty into his arms, and while playing with her proud breasts, told the twists and turns.

As the economy gets better and better, advertisements, sponsorships, etc., frequently set sky-high records, but this also makes the competition among TV stations more intense.

At the beginning of the year, Jiangsu TV relied on the bright results of *Dad, Where Are We Going? * to suppress Mango TV and Shanghai TV, ranking first among national local satellite TV stations, with an unstoppable momentum.

Immediately after, Jiangsu TV launched the German copyright *Fearless*, and the self-made localized version *Star Jump Cube* took over *Dad, Where Are We Going? *, attempting to keep the ranking.

And the results were indeed good. Although there was competition with *Star Jump* of the neighboring Zhejiang Satellite TV, *Cube* still created a peak break of 2, with an average viewership of 1.86.

After all, watching female stars standing on high platforms with plain faces, trembling hands and feet, and jumping in fear can indeed allow the audience to obtain some strange pleasure.

Including the online discussion, it was only second to *Flowers and Youth*.

Jiangsu TV was full of joy. With such results, it could completely become another signboard of the TV station.

This wave of operations also made Jiangsu TV realize that self-made variety shows have great potential. So they didn't even participate in the previous negotiation of *Sisters Over Flowers*.

Unfortunately, Jiangsu TV's luck was too bad.

The *Star Jump* of the neighboring Zhejiang Satellite TV was directly stopped by the General Administration on the grounds that it was too dangerous to produce and broadcast because an assistant of a star drowned during the recording process.

Along with it, Jiangsu TV's *Cube* also suffered from disaster. After the first season ended, it was gone.

The two variety shows that were originally planned to continue were also in a state of re-evaluation and would not start for the time being.

Seeing that there were no variety shows to take out in the second half of the year, Jiangsu TV was anxious.

"So that's it..."

Gao Yuanyuan nodded thoughtfully, and then threw this matter behind her head, lightly biting her red lips, sending a signal.

"Xiao Jin, I want it..."

In fact, she already wanted it in the afternoon. Plus, she drank some wine at night and was teased by the man for a long time, so she couldn't hold it anymore.

"Okay, Sister Yuanyuan, willing to serve you."

After speaking, Wei Jin kissed Gao Yuanyuan's attractive red lips, and his hands flew up and down skillfully.

As the obstacles fell to the ground one by one, Wei Jin and Gao Yuanyuan merged into one in the moonlight.

This night, the midsummer breeze of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties was so noisy. (End of chapter)
