Chapter 274 274. Persistent invitation
"Liu Jing Liu Jing, do you think my scarf looks good?"
"It's very beautiful. Where did you buy it?"
"Nie Wei knitted it specially for me!"
"Ma Wenlong, how about my scarf?"
"Well, not bad."
"Nie Wei knitted it for me!"
"Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin..."
It’s a new day at Kyoto Film Academy. Class 02 students were given a big mouthful of dog food early in the morning. Under the publicity of Shu Chang Ke De, the whole class knew that Nie Wei had personally knitted a scarf for her. The boys were joking. He said that Nie Wei was a good girl, but all the female classmates rolled their eyes.
It is such a romantic thing to be able to learn from the girl you like, and then make a thoughtful gift with your own hands. These idiots with different styles are nothing compared to Nie Weiwei. It's great. I envy Shu Chang for finding such a caring and attentive boyfriend.
Throughout the day, the boys in the class always felt that the girls looked at them with resentment in their eyes.
As for Shu Chang, this girl has long been immersed in Nie Wei's surprise and cannot extricate herself. Ever since she received the scarf yesterday, she has been in a state of extreme excitement. Nie Wei's gift was so unexpected. , I really never dreamed that Nie Wei would learn to knit scarves in person, and then personally make such a thoughtful gift for herself.
So when Nie Wei took out the scarf and explained it, her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She was so moved that she didn't know what to say. She just felt that this was the best thing she had ever received since she was born. Gift.
Especially the moment Nie Wei put the scarf on her personally, the indescribable warmth made her whole body melt. She wished she could melt into Nie Wei's body immediately and hug Nie Wei tightly. , never wanting to let go for a moment.
Nie Wei also didn't expect that a scarf he knitted by hand would make Shu Chang feel like this. It seemed that she had indeed lacked some thought before. The meaning of a gift is not the value, but what the other person needs. Obviously, Shu Chang wants it more. What's more, it's Nie Wei's intentions towards him.
The 'scarf incident' caused Shu Chang to spread a lot of dog food to the whole class, but there was one person among them who didn't care.
Touching the crystal bracelet on her hand, Lin Yifei felt so sweet in her heart. Although she couldn't show it off openly like Shu Chang, as long as his heart came to her, Lin Yifei would be satisfied.
As the days passed, Wang Zhonglei did not miss what he said that day. In fact, he was more anxious than Nie Wei and quickly urged Nie Wei to sign the contract. When Nie Wei wrote his name on the contract, he knew I saw a satisfied smile on Wang Zhonglei's face.
Apparently Wang Zhonglei thinks he is on the right path.
After the contract was signed, Wang Zhonglei did not make it public immediately. Instead, he asked Nie Wei to keep it secret and agreed to make it public at the annual meeting. Obviously, he was trying to set an example for Nie Wei. At the company's annual meeting, he said Listen to all our artists and use it to inspire and win over people.
I have to say that this boss does know how to win over, but Nie Wei is not optimistic about the final result.
There is another thing that Nie Wei cannot ignore during this period, and that is the final preparations for the Fairy Sword crew. As a very mature TV drama company, Tangren Film and Television did a good job in the preparations for The Legend of Sword and Fairy. The selection was almost complete, and the final director was also the one Nie Wei remembered familiarly.
However, there are differences between Nie Wei and Cai Yinong when it comes to investment in special effects.
Cai Yinong believes that more funds should be invested in the costumes and treatment of the crew. Moderate investment in special effects is enough. This is also the allocation method used by mainstream fairy tale dramas. However, in Nie Wei's view, as a fairy tale In a knight-errant drama, special effects are definitely the top priority. Even if it cannot reach movie level, it should still occupy half of the crew's funds.
When Nie Wei said this ratio, Cai Yinong was really shocked. Half of all investments? This is simply too exaggerated. It is more than double the budget she had in mind. According to Nie Wei's idea, the TV series will probably be stopped halfway through filming.
So Cai Yinong kept trying to persuade Nie Wei to be rational, and even gave Nie Wei the budget table he had made, and tried to persuade her sincerely.
However, Nie Wei did not change his mind in the end. After all, Nie Wei did not want anyone to complain about the special effects when watching this TV series in the future. Thinking about it, he felt extremely embarrassed.
In the end, Nie Wei chose a compromise, which was to invest more. As the saying goes, anything that can be solved with money is nothing. Nie Wei now has a large amount of funds, except for the money provided by Zhou Aiguo. Funds, iFlytek's dividends this year have also been received, and a game called Dungeon and Fighter has made the company a lot of money this year. Mr. Ma has also been urging Nie Wei to continue to develop new games. For online games, A piece of profit, he has obviously tasted the sweetness.
Nie Wei invested part of this money, and the remaining funds were quite abundant. It would not be too easy for him to add an additional tens of millions of funds to a TV series.
In the end, Cai Yinong accepted Nie Wei's conditions.
After all, she also hopes that the TV series can be made more sophisticated and sold at a better price. Although Nie Wei's additional investment will dilute the interests of their Tang people, who makes herself have no money? And sometimes the more investment, the more responsibility The more risks there are, the previous investment is obviously Tsai Yinong’s psychological bottom line.
After the special effects were agreed upon, there were no major differences between the two parties. Finally, after Nie Wei and Cai Yinong discussed, the crew's opening ceremony would be held on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, which would allow all the staff to have a good year before work.
Huayi's annual company meeting is coming soon. This is the day for a big summary of the year. The stars who are doing well are naturally looking forward to this day. The poor ones also have the mentality of climbing up, hoping to meet some powerful senior executives at the annual meeting and get better resources. As for the employees, their ideas are simpler. The gifts for the company's annual meeting are what they look forward to most. Nie Wei went to the company recently, and what he heard most was that the employees were discussing what the first, second and third prizes this year were.
The day before the annual meeting, these awards were finally announced.
First is the third prize, a latest Samsung mobile phone. Nie Wei looked at the model. The market price of this mobile phone should be around 3,000 yuan, which is considered a good mobile phone at this stage.
The second prize is naturally better, a seven-day trip to Europe, and those who don't want to go can also convert it into cash, 18,888 yuan. Seeing a group of people staring at this item with burning eyes, Nie Wei couldn't help but feel happy, because he knew very well that there were definitely very few people who wanted to travel, and it must be the 18,888 yuan cash reward that attracted this group of people.
As for the moment when the first prize was announced, everyone at the scene was boiling.
Although everyone knew that the first prize was definitely better than the second prize, the second prize was already worth 18,888 yuan, so the price of the first prize would definitely be higher than this, but no one expected it to be so much higher. A new Volkswagen Passat this year, even if the company only cares about the bare car, is worth more than 200,000 yuan, so when the first prize was announced, Nie Wei saw that everyone at the scene gasped and their eyes turned red.
After all, it is a 200,000 yuan car, even some celebrities feel tempted, not to mention the staff who earn a dead salary.
Even Nie Wei's assistant Luo Yuan was so excited that she chatted with Nie Wei all the way back to the lounge, all of which were fantasies about winning the first prize at the annual meeting.
"The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. You don't even think about it. There are hundreds of people in the company, and your chance of winning is less than one percent. You might as well think about the menu for our New Year's Eve dinner instead of fantasizing about it." Luo Kai couldn't help but pour cold water on Luo Yuan as soon as he entered the room.
"You are wrong. In fact, Luo Yuan has a 50% chance of winning." Nie Wei suddenly laughed at the side. This sentence made Luo Yuan, who was originally in low morale, widen her eyes instantly, and asked Nie Wei for confirmation: "Really?"
"Of course, you either win the first prize or another prize. Think of it as a double-choice question. Isn't it a 50% chance?" Nie Wei explained with a smile.
Nie Wei's sophistry made Luo Yuan laugh. She looked at Luo Kai proudly and said, "Did you hear that? What's 1%? I have a 50% chance. Do you understand? Forget it. I guess you won't understand with your technical secondary school level."
"How is your education better than mine?" Upon hearing this, Luo Kai was immediately dissatisfied. Luo Yuan was not to be outdone. The two of them went off topic while arguing.
"I graduated from a junior college!"
"My technical secondary school at that time was much more valuable than your junior college."
"Hmph, anyway, I'm a junior college, you're a technical secondary school, and I have a higher education!"
Maybe because the age difference is much smaller than that of a normal father and daughter, so sometimes the two of them communicate more like friends. Nie Wei has long been accustomed to this kind of daily quarrel, and he doesn't try to persuade them. Anyway, they will stop after a while.
Leaving aside the father and daughter of the Luo family, Nie Wei walked to the desk, where there were some scripts and invitations sent by the business department. Nie Wei had the right to make his own decisions. From this point, it can be seen that Wang Zhonglei attaches great importance to Nie Wei. At least, there are definitely no more than five people in the company who enjoy this freedom.
He flipped through the scripts, and they were all ordinary, without any outstanding works. Although the advertising invitations have been screened and the prices are very generous, Nie Wei really doesn't take them seriously. So far, except for shooting a large number of advertisements in the first year to expand his exposure, the number of advertisements he has shot and endorsed in the past two years has been getting smaller and smaller.
But this did not reduce Nie Wei's own commercial value. On the contrary, because Nie Wei did not easily accept endorsements, his endorsement fees have risen again and again. Even though he has not completely entered the ranks of the first-line, his endorsement fees are comparable to those of first-line artists, and even the more generous ones.
Therefore, the number of endorsements for Nie Wei is decreasing, but the profits created are increasing. This year, the income Nie Wei brought to the company is definitely among the top three in the company. This is also one of the main reasons why Wang Zhonglei takes special care of Nie Wei. After all, how can such a potential cash cow not be carefully cared for?
Soon from a pile of documents, Nie Wei found an invitation that made sense.
"Brother Kai, did Yunnan and Guizhou send another song invitation?" Nie Wei asked Luo Kai, who had just finished arguing, holding the letter of invitation.
When Nie Wei mentioned Yunnan and Guizhou, Luo Kai was stunned, and then he immediately thought of the very tenacious government in his mind.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time that the Yunnan and Guizhou government has sent an invitation letter to Nie Wei. They invited Nie Wei to provide music for the promotional film they shot since the first season, and also sent an invitation when they shot the second season. Now they are shooting the third season, and they still sent an invitation letter to Nie Wei. This persistence impressed Luo Kai very much.
Retracting his thoughts, Luo Kai immediately replied: "Yes, they still want you to help with the soundtrack for their promotional video."
When answering, Luo Kai's expression unconsciously showed a proud look. There was a reason for him to do so. The music "Memories of the Forbidden City" that Nie Wei composed for the documentary promotional film of the Forbidden City has won countless awards in the past year. It is also regarded by many musicians as a classic among classic music, the real sound of the emperor, and the music that deserves to be passed down through the ages. There are countless nauseating praises. It is precisely because of this that the Tourism Bureau in Yunnan and Guizhou is so persistent in letting Nie Wei take action. After all, the effect is too good. They are eager to promote the tourism business and have great expectations for Nie Wei.
"Oh." Nie Wei nodded, and suddenly thought that if he filmed the Fairy Sword this time, he would have to deal with Yunnan and Guizhou. Moreover, although he could not make much money by making music for government departments, the potential benefits were also full. He did not have time before, but now is just right.
"Brother Kai, give the business department a message later. I am very interested in this job."
"Ah, okay, I will notify the business department immediately." Luo Kai was surprised for a moment, and agreed with a smile. Nie Wei was interested, so he was also looking forward to it.
When Luo Kai informed the business department of the news, the business department also efficiently fed back to the Yunnan-Guizhou Tourism Bureau. After receiving the news, the other party called Luo Kai's mobile phone as soon as possible, but the call was answered by Nie Wei. The two sides communicated on the phone, and Nie Wei verbally promised, but also stated that he would only have time to create when the crew went to Yunnan and Guizhou to shoot.
The Yunnan-Guizhou Tourism Bureau did not feel dissatisfied with this, but readily agreed. In their view, Nie Wei's willingness to take action was great news. What can't wait for more than a month? At that time, as long as Nie Wei was coaxed, he would create a soundtrack comparable to the Forbidden City Memories, and add his own carefully shot documentary promotional film, just in time for the upcoming peak season of tourism, to advertise Yunnan and Guizhou.
So the Yunnan-Guizhou Tourism Bureau generously agreed to Nie Wei's seemingly willful request, and even took the initiative to propose that they would contact accommodation and venues when the crew arrived. Nie Wei was modest and accepted it happily.
Although it was just a verbal promise between the two parties, the matter was basically confirmed. However, before Nie Wei could focus on this new job, the company's annual meeting finally arrived.
Nie Wei deliberately changed into a neat suit that day, but God seemed to be against him. The road to the company was never blocked, but this time there was an accident, and it took more than an hour to pass.
When Nie Wei and Luo Kai and others arrived at the company, the annual meeting had already begun. The two hurriedly walked towards the hall. When they opened the door, the lively venue that Nie Wei had imagined was strangely quiet.
Thanks to Nocturne's generous 40,000 reward. At the end of July, this book finally has a second leader. I am very grateful. At the same time, I would like to thank the undead bird classmate for the reward. I will work harder in the new month, so there will be three updates tomorrow.
