Chapter 189 187. A grand celebration banquet
Nie Wei is very clear that breaking the 10 record will become more and more difficult in the future. This has a lot to do with the increase in programs on TV stations in various places. With the influx of Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment into the mainland, TV stations facing competition are also using all kinds of means, which will undoubtedly lower the average ratings.
Even 10 years later, a TV series with an average rating of more than 1 is already a good result.
So for his own works, every one that can break 10 will become the brightest light on his star resume in the future.
"What are you laughing at, so happy." Nie Wei just smiled, and someone asked, turning around to see that it was Lin Yifei who attended the celebration banquet together.
"I saw a report." Nie Wei handed the magazine to Lin Yifei. Thanks to Zhang Jizhong's "carefulness", a corner of the crew's celebration banquet was actually filled with praise articles from major newspapers and magazines. It can be seen how proud this bearded gentleman is of his achievements during this period.
Lin Yifei took a look at the magazine and then laughed.
"Mr. Jin actually said that you are proficient in Buddhism. Is it true? Let me see." After saying that, Lin Yifei put down the magazine and searched Nie Wei's wrist, neck and even chest.
While searching, she was still saying: "I heard that people who believe in Buddhism should carry some beads, demon-subduing pestles and so on. Why don't you have any of them? Ah! I know." Suddenly, Lin Yifei stopped looking and pretended to be enlightened.
"Humph, you'd better give me a better explanation, otherwise..." Seeing the cunning in the girl's eyes, Nie Wei immediately sneered and threatened.
"Okay, I won't say it."
"You are sensible." Nie Wei patted Lin Yifei's head. This girl seems to have grown again. It seems that there is hope to break through 170.
"Teach you a lesson. Mr. Jin and I are talking about Buddhist scriptures, but you can't treat me as a monk. I am not the kind of person who believes in gods and Buddhas. Mr. Jin and I are talking about the meaning and spirit of Buddhist scriptures." After playing for a while, Nie Wei did not forget to explain to Lin Yifei seriously.
"What do you mean by meaning? Isn't it all about belief? Is there a difference?" Lin Yifei asked in confusion.
"Of course there is a difference. Some people believe in Buddhism and worship Buddha as a god to seek peace of mind. I like Buddhism, but I don't believe in Buddhism. I regard Buddhism as a psychology. I like that the content of Buddhism can bring people psychological peace and teach people to be kind. So I like Buddhism, but I like it differently. I also disagree with some Buddhist teachings. Mr. Jin is the same as me in this regard. He also treats Buddhism as a subject of study."
"I don't understand, but it sounds amazing." Lin Yifei shook her head and looked at Nie Wei with admiration.
"If you don't understand, learn more. Come on, Nie Wei, have a drink with me." At this moment, a voice sounded behind the two of them. Without turning around, you know that the one who made such a heroic voice must be our general producer, Zhang Jizhong with a big beard.
"Teacher Zhang, cheers." Nie Wei turned around and raised the red wine in his hand, clinked it with Zhang Jizhong, and then took a sip. Lin Yifei, who was standing next to him, also followed Nie Wei's approach and drank a glass with Zhang Jizhong.
While drinking, Nie Wei could see through the wall of the glass that the producer was quite excited.
How could he not be excited? First of all, in terms of income, since "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" broke ten, the value of Zhang Jizhong's Jizhong Culture Company has doubled immediately. Although it has not yet been listed, the valuation has at least doubled, not to mention the actual income brought by this TV series, which is more than double that of "Swordsman".
In addition, what makes Zhang Jizhong even happier is that this TV series has also earned him the title of the godfather of mainland martial arts films.
Now in the mainland, Zhang Jizhong and his Jin Yong martial arts dramas have become a brand, known as "Jizhong products must be fine products", and there are even people who regard him as one of the four major producers in China. This is the first time that someone has been selected based on a TV series, which is enough for Zhang Jizhong to brag about for a lifetime.
Thinking of such fame and fortune, it would be strange if Zhang Da Huzi was not happy.
Even the employees of his company can clearly feel the "warmth" brought by Da Huzi recently. The former strict and harsh middle-aged Da Huzi is gone, replaced by a Da Huzi who is as cute, warm and approachable as Santa Claus. There are more holidays, better benefits, and even mistakes are rarely scolded...
When this man is happy, everything looks good to him, just like now, he looks at Lin Yifei and Nie Wei, and he likes them no matter how he looks at them.
If Zhang Jizhong's biggest discovery in "Dragon Babu" this time is what it is, it is undoubtedly the golden boy and jade girl in front of him. At this moment, looking at them standing side by side, Da Huzi suddenly has an idea in his heart, and he wants to shoot a TV series with the two as the protagonists.
But he shook his head soon. He had just finished filming "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", which had only been released for more than half of the time. There was also "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that had not been released yet. For a while, he really had no motivation to shoot. However, the seed was planted in his heart. He could only wait for the right time to come, and maybe it would take root and sprout.
"Huh" After Zhang Da Huzi staggered away, Lin Yifei breathed a sigh of relief.
"How much wine did he drink? It smells so bad." Lin Yifei complained in Nie Wei's ear in a low voice. Obviously, the girl was choked by Zhang Da Huzi's breath.
"Then you should stay away from him." Nie Wei responded with a smile.
"It's not that easy." As soon as Lin Yifei finished speaking, he saw the big bearded man who had just walked away waving at him again, obviously introducing him to a friend.
"Go ahead, and take care of yourself." Nie Wei warned.
"Are you worried about me?" Lin Yifei heard it, but she was thinking further in her heart. A sweet feeling lingered in her heart, and she blurted out her inner thoughts to Nie Wei without thinking.
"Is it wrong?" Nie Wei asked back, looking directly at Lin Yifei, which made the little girl's joy gradually turn into helplessness. She said "boring", and then walked towards Zhang Da Huzi.
Looking at Lin Yifei's back, Nie Wei shook his head. How could he not see the girl's thoughts? To be honest, Nie Wei also had a good impression of her at the beginning, but now that she is with Shu Chang, this good impression should naturally be suppressed.
"Nie Wei." Just as he was thinking, another voice sounded in his ears. He turned around and saw Jiang Xin walking towards him with a happy face.
"What are you thinking about? Today is a celebration banquet." After approaching, Jiang Xin patted Nie Wei on the shoulder and said.
"Of course I'm happy too, but I haven't congratulated our Miss Jiang yet. Once you become famous, you'll be known all over the world. You'll have to take good care of me when you become famous in the future."
"You're such a stinky mouth. Can I be more popular than you and Xixi?" Jiang Xin patted Nie Wei again, but she couldn't hide the joy between her eyebrows.
Mu Wanqing, a supporting actress, made Jiang Xin truly experience what popularity is.
Now when she walks on the street, she is no longer unknown. People stop her from time to time and ask for autographs and photos. This feeling is really great for Jiang Xin. She feels great from head to toe. When the money she earns from acting can provide for her family, her goal has long changed from money to fame. Undoubtedly, the role of Mu Wanqing has brought her everything.
"What are you going to do in the future?" Looking at Jiang Xin with a happy face, Nie Wei asked.
"What else can I do? I can still open a store if I don't do movies. I can't be a boss." Jiang Xin thought Nie Wei was going to persuade her to do a side job like other stars, so she waved her hand immediately. She felt that she was not suitable for investment.
"I didn't talk about opening a store." Nie Wei shook his head and explained: "I asked you how you plan to develop in the future. You should have no shortage of dramas with your current popularity, but it's not a good idea to always go it alone. The dramas you receive are not enough or good enough. It may be better to find an agency."
"Agency?" Jiang Xin was stunned. This was something she had never considered.
Since the beginning of the relationship, her goal has been to make money to support her family, and she is naturally very resistant to the kind of share that the agency has. After all, she can't make enough money herself, so how can she think of giving it to the agency.
So he has been alone in the past few years, with an agent at most, and he still has a fixed salary, so Nie Wei mentioned the agency for the first time, which really surprised her.
Seeing Jiang Xin's expression, Nie Wei, who knew this girl well, quickly figured out the reason, so he counseled her: "Jiang Xin, being a star can't just focus on the present. Although the agency will share your income, it can also bring you greater benefits. Just like this time in "Dragon Babu", in addition to my own ability, my agency also gave me a lot of help in competing for Duan Yu. The final word was the dinner that the agency arranged for me and Mr. Jin. Do you understand?"
"Is it the dinner mentioned in the report?" Jiang Xin obviously also read the report, so she confirmed.
"That's right." Nie Wei nodded, his eyes revealing inexplicable thoughts, recalling and saying: "It was at that dinner that I impressed the old gentleman with my knowledge, otherwise it would be unclear whether the role of Duan Yu is mine now."
"How can you be so thick-skinned? Do you brag about yourself like this?" Jiang Xin laughed loudly. Although she knew that what Nie Wei said was seven points true, she couldn't help laughing when she saw Nie Wei's appearance and heard such words. She always felt like watching a fancy performance of a "smelly face person".
"Haha, it's true that 'a dog bites Lu Dongbin, but he doesn't know the good heart'."
"Who are you calling a dog!"
"You!"
"Damn, I'll fight you."
Fortunately, Jiang Xin knew that this was a banquet, so she didn't do anything too excessive. She just kicked Nie Wei twice with her calf to vent her anger.
"How is it, have you thought about it? I really think you should find an agency and plan your way out, otherwise you might waste this good popularity." Nie Wei straightened his collar and asked seriously.
"Do you curse your friends like this?" Jiang Xin rolled her eyes, but she really listened to Nie Wei's words. She is not short of money now. On the contrary, she really wants to climb a few more steps in this circle. But she has no idea how to find a reliable agency at the moment.
"I don't know which one to find. Can you help me with some advice?" Jiang Xin trusts Nie Wei from head to toe. This level of trust is even comparable to that of a close relative, so the first person she thinks of for such an important event is Nie Wei.
"Me?" Nie Wei pointed at himself and said with a smile: "My agency is Huayi, how about I help you get in touch with someone?"
"Is it okay?" Jiang Xin was a little worried when she heard it was Huayi: "Aren't the two of you in the company fighting each other? It would be good for me to join you."
Nie Wei was very upset. Sure enough, there are no secrets in this circle. The story of the female artist in his company has been spread in the circle.
However, Nie Wei felt that it was feasible for Jiang Xin to sign a contract with Huayi, and thinking about the future, if Jiang Xin could gain a foothold in Huayi, it would be a rare help for him.
"I'll think about it." This is a big deal. Even if she is facing Nie Wei, Jiang Xin doesn't dare to make a decision immediately. She needs to find more people to get their opinions.
As a Taurus girl, she is so pragmatic.
Nie Wei didn't expect Jiang Xin to make a decision right away. He gave her an idea, and it was also for her own good. After all, if Jiang Xin continued to go on like she remembered, she would really waste her popularity. She wouldn't have made it ten years later to make a comeback with "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
After bidding farewell to Jiang Xin, Nie Wei chatted with Liu Tao for a while, and then Gao Hu and Hu Jun came over to chat for a while. Most of them were about miscellaneous things, and they had nothing to do with the acting industry. For example, Gao Hu was very interested in the topic of cars, especially Nie Wei's Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which he talked about many times with envy.
Hu Jun talked more about his daughter, Hu Jiujiu, with Nie Wei. It can be seen that this strong man is really a daughter slave. He has endless topics to talk about his daughter. He is also the only powerful person who can talk for half an hour without Nie Wei's guidance.
Not only these people, but also his senior sister Yang Rui from Beijing Film Academy, or Cheng Hao, who became famous all over the country because of the role of "Millionaire". In short, most of the famous artists in the crew have taken the initiative to greet Nie Wei, and the rest are also old predecessors, who need Nie Wei to visit.
From today's celebration banquet, it can be seen how fast Nie Wei's status in the circle has risen. Otherwise, apart from those who are really familiar with him, how many of these stars would lower their face and take the initiative to talk to you.
However, what Nie Wei felt a little regretful was that the dinner was halfway through, and Shu Chang, who was late for work, still did not come. The two had not met in person for a while. Did they miss it again today?
Just when Nie Wei had this thought, the door of the banquet suddenly opened, and then he saw a girl with a bright smile walked in. The energetic ponytail behind her head made Nie Wei feel comfortable, and she finally showed the most charming smile tonight. After all, the girl couldn't stand his nagging and appeared in front of him.
Well, Nie Wei attributed all this to himself.
