Chapter 139 137. First ‘electric shock’ (Part 1)
The car arrived at the company very quickly. Nie Wei followed Luo Kai to the finance office first, because Nie Wei had to sign in person to receive the money.
When Nie Wei got his financial statements for the past few months, he found that he had made a lot of money during this period, nearly two million yuan in income, which did not include the income from selling songs. That part belonged to Nie Wei himself and did not need to be shared with the company, and naturally did not need to go through the company's accounts.
"Nie Wei, you are now the cash cow of our company. At the end of the year, Mr. Wang will definitely give you a big red envelope." The finance department praised Nie Wei while handing Nie Wei a salary slip, pointing to the place for signature, and said, "Sign here."
Nie Wei smiled modestly, bowed his head and signed, and did not answer anything. Luo Kai, who was standing next to him, said politely with pride.
After signing, Director Qi also transferred the money quickly. After getting the money, Nie Wei and Luo Kai were ready to leave the finance office, but when they left, Director Qi deliberately pulled Luo Kai to talk for a while, probably meaning to get closer to him and wanted to treat Luo Kai to a meal.
Seeing Director Qi showing a hint of flattery towards him, Luo Kai felt satisfied from the bottom of his heart. Isn't it interesting to be in charge of an agent?
As the two walked to the lounge, Luo Kai couldn't help but get excited and started talking.
"Nie Wei, you know, Director Qi just revealed that your income this year can at least rank among the top three in the company. The phrase 'cash cow' he described is not aimless." When Luo Kai said this, he was excited and seemed quite excited.
After all, in an agency, the status of an artist is nothing more than two things, fame and money-making ability. Nie Wei is now famous and can also make money. His upward momentum is quite rapid, and his status as an agent is also rising.
For example, today, when he took the artist to the Finance Department to settle the bill, Director Qi always looked down at him. What about this time? Seeing the other party's pleasing appearance, Luo Kai felt so comfortable.
"I can bring the company about two million in revenue this year, right?" Nie Wei calculated in his mind, and then confirmed to Luo Kai.
"Almost." Luo Kai was startled, and then he thought seriously: "Counting the advertising income in the next two months, it should be over two million."
"Oh, so that's it, I can rank in the top three, interesting." Nie Wei heard this answer and smiled inexplicably.
Luo Kai on the side didn't understand why Nie Wei suddenly said such a sentence, but he didn't delve into it, and soon excitedly talked about some interesting things in other companies.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, the crew called, and Nie Wei had already prepared and drove directly to the crew.
This movie "Cell Phone" is definitely of great significance to Feng Xiaogang. Because "A World Without Thieves" has been delayed in passing the review, this year's Lunar New Year file is destined to be impossible to have Director Feng's presence. This is also the first time that Feng Xiaogang has missed the Lunar New Year file since 1997.
It can be said that this not only affects Huayi's income for the whole year, but also caused a great problem for Feng Xiaogang.
The industry is most afraid of not having any works. Without works, they will be forgotten. Feng Xiaogang is no exception. Therefore, he must shoot this "Cell Phone" well and strive to make a big splash in the Lunar New Year next year to make up for all the losses this year.
There is another key point. This movie called "Cell Phone" is actually a transformation of Feng. From this movie, Feng's movies learned to think. It is no longer the kind of cold humor that floats on the surface, but a movie that makes you calm down and think from one thing, one attitude, and one regret.
Fan Binbin is very lucky. Although she missed "A World Without Thieves", she can play the leading role in such a key work of Feng. Even Feng's wife Xu Fan has to be a supporting role to set off her.
When approaching the film and television city, Nie Wei asked Luo Kai to buy a lot of hot coffee in a nearby supermarket, and then asked him to call Fan Binbin, so when Nie Wei and others came to the set, there were workers waiting at the door, and the group entered the shooting site smoothly.
Nie Wei's time was a bit coincidental. Fan Binbin was shooting.
Nie Wei asked Luo Kai and Luo Yuan to wait on the side, while he approached the shooting site and watched silently in a corner for a while.
On the set, there was a rivalry between Fan Binbin and Ge You. Wu Yue, played by Fan Binbin, seduced Yan Shouyi, played by Ge You. The ambiguous interaction between the two was very bold.
Nie Wei watched from the side and felt that Fan Binbin was really daring to act. At least actresses of her age rarely take on such roles with strong negative effects. Thinking about it, maybe only one actress named Tang Wei can be comparable to her in the future. Both of them are the kind of actors who can do whatever it takes to succeed and can throw away their idol baggage.
However, no matter how open Fan Binbin is, he is still weak in front of Ge Da Ye. In Nie Wei's opinion, this super-individual actor is really full of drama, and the key is that he is still stable enough. A small look can bring the whole character to life.
The shooting of the two this time was very good, and director Feng Xiaogang was obviously very satisfied and called him over directly.
Hearing this, the atmosphere on the set relaxed a lot. Nie Wei took the opportunity to wink at Luo Kai, asking him to take this opportunity to take Luo Yuan to distribute coffee.
After Nie Wei winked at Luo Kai, he walked towards Director Feng Xiaogang.
"Director Feng, hello." The two had met twice in the company and were nodding acquaintances, so Nie Wei's greeting was not too unfamiliar.
"Come here, I'll ask someone to tell you about the role later. Even though it's just a cameo, you have to show your ability to act well for me. If you do well, I'll arrange a role for you in the next movie." Seeing Nie Wei coming over, Feng Xiaogang also smiled. He was also very optimistic about this newcomer signed by the company. He had a good image and acting skills, and he was a man who could become popular.
So this time he specifically proposed to let Nie Wei make a cameo, in fact, he also wanted to borrow some of Nie Wei's popularity to compete for more box office.
Of course, having a cameo in Feng's New Year's film is also a kind of capital, and it also has many benefits for Nie Wei, so this is a mutually beneficial thing.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Nie Wei walked towards the place where Fan Binbin rested.
At this moment, Fan Binbin was putting on lip makeup with the help of his assistant. Seeing Nie Wei coming over, he just wanted to smile, but was stopped by the assistant beside him. He could only blink at Nie Wei helplessly.
"Sister Binbin, I didn't expect the role you took this time to be so powerful and groundbreaking. I think you will definitely become famous." Nie Wei said while giving a thumbs up and praising.
"Of course." Fan Binbin, who was finally able to speak after putting on lip makeup, smiled proudly and boasted: "When I entered this industry, someone told me that actors cannot have idol baggage."
After saying this, Fan Binbin glanced at Nie Wei and said with a hint of gratitude: "Thank you for coming to visit me this time."
"Why do you say that? Didn't Sister Binbin help me last time?" Nie Wei sat next to Fan Binbin, suddenly smiled, and whispered: "Sister, what does it feel like to act in a passionate scene with Mr. Ge?"
"You are asking for death." Fan Binbin slapped Nie Wei fiercely. Isn't this asking knowingly? Facing Mr. Ge's face, she really made a lot of efforts.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore." Blocking Fan Binbin's hand that was about to slap, Nie Wei begged for mercy, and then handed the coffee in her pocket to Fan Binbin.
"Hey, didn't you see I just finished putting on lip makeup? How are you drinking? Xiaoyuan, here you go."
Nie Wei didn't care who Fan Binbin gave the coffee to. He was more focused on the set.
He had a feeling when he came here just now. Although the film set was not much different from the TV set, the atmosphere was much more tense. Everyone seemed to be wound up, and seemed much busier than the TV set.
Nie Wei asked Fan Binbin curiously, but he didn't expect that the other party really gave an answer.
"Movies and TV series are completely different. The requirements for staff, actors, and directors are much higher. Don't think that a movie is only two hours at most, but the finished film is more laborious and physically demanding than the content of dozens of hours of TV series. In short, there is no comparison between the two. When you really shoot a movie, you will understand."
Nie Wei nodded to show his understanding. At this moment, a woman with neat short hair and a strong aura came over.
"Nie Wei, why are you still chatting with the little girl here? I'll wait for you for a while."
"Sister Fan, you are also a little girl." Nie Wei flattered Xu Fan when he heard her complaint. Xu Fan, who was about to complain, was immediately amused by Nie Wei.
Fan Binbin on the side looked at Nie Wei and secretly curled his lips. This guy just relied on his sweet mouth.
After saying goodbye to Fan Binbin, Nie Wei followed Xu Fan to the corridor outside.
Xu Fan also talked about the role that Nie Wei needed to play. It was very simple, just an art student, which was very consistent with Nie Wei's identity. The key was that there was only one line and the camera was just a flash. It was estimated that it might not even take two seconds. This was really no difficulty for Nie Wei.
"Nie Wei, please move with us later. The shooting location is not here." Xu Fan said this with some embarrassment. After all, he asked someone to help for free, but he had to take him around.
"It's okay, I just don't know if there is a lunch box for me at noon." Nie Wei looked at the time. It was almost time for lunch.
"Sister Fan, I'll give you two." Nie Wei's joke made Xu Fan laugh. This guy is quite respectful and an interesting person.
As the second female lead in the play and also the housekeeper on the set, Xu Fan had a lot of things waiting for her. After chatting with Nie Wei for a few more words, she left. At noon, the crew had lunch on the spot, and Nie Wei really received two boxes of lunch. When he took the box of lunch, Nie Wei felt that the staff who put the lunch looked at him strangely.
Nie Wei was also amused and helpless about this. He always felt that this joke had pitted himself. Sister Fan, do you have to be so honest?
Thank you for the last reward of 10,000 and monthly tickets tomorrow. This book is the first to receive 10,000 rewards and has its first helmsman. Thank you.
