Chapter 314 314. Audition (Part 1)

Under the surprised gazes of the reporters, Nie Wei walked into the building. The two front desk staff immediately stood up, bowed slightly respectfully to Nie Wei, and greeted him: "Hello, Mr. Nie."

Nie Wei nodded slightly and walked towards his lounge.

The two girls looked at Nie Wei's back, infatuated and a little absent-minded. Unlike those who questioned Nie Wei outside, Nie Wei was definitely the object of worship for many staff members in this company.

When he was an artist, Nie Wei was the star with the strongest ability to attract money in this company.

Now that he is the boss, no one dares to look down on Nie Wei, because Nie Wei not only got shares, he also has real power in this company. It is said that the music department is being reorganized recently. Someone spread the rumor privately that the senior management of Huayi is preparing to split the music department and set up a record company, and the candidate for this leader is obviously Nie Wei.

In addition, the recent movie incident has also deepened the impression of Nie Wei in the company.

After all, it was an investment of 12 million. No matter what method was used, Nie Wei was able to obtain it, which showed his strength and proved that Nie Wei was not a shareholder whose rights were hollowed out. He was even a senior executive who could mobilize tens of millions of resources, which made many employees feel in awe.

So along the way, employees became more careful when greeting Nie Wei. Before, when Nie Wei was an artist, no one thought so, but now Nie Wei has become a senior executive of the company who can "decide life and death with one word", and everyone's mentality has also changed with the change of Nie Wei's identity.

Nie Wei saw this change and did not stop it. The most important thing for people is to put themselves in the right position.

Not long after Nie Wei arrived in the lounge, he welcomed a guest, who was the general manager of the company, Wang Zhonglei.

"Nie Wei, you are now a senior executive of the company. I will arrange an office for you." Wang Zhonglei greeted Nie Wei twice after entering the room, and then went straight to the point.

"No need, Zhonglei brother, don't bother me with your official business, it's tiring." Nie Wei smiled and shook his head, rejecting Wang Zhonglei's "good intentions".

As for Wang Zhonglei, it was clearly his suggestion, but when Nie Wei refused, he was relieved.

Nie Wei's attitude at least showed that he really didn't want to snatch the rights of the company from his brothers.

"By the way, Brother Zhonglei, I heard that there are rumors in the company that they want to set up a record company?" Nie Wei asked.

"I have such an idea, but it's just an idea." Wang Zhonglei was stunned, then explained and smiled: "Brother Nie Wei, do you want to manage this new company?"

As for the record company, Wang Zhonglei didn't really care about the rights of the company. In his eyes, the main business of China Art is still the agency and film production company, and the main reason why he dared to set up a record company is because of Nie Wei. In his eyes, Nie Wei is the only one in the company who can play with the music circle. If Nie Wei is interested in the record company, he will definitely be happy to see it happen.

"I have some ideas, but they are still vague. I'll talk about it when the time comes." Nie Wei replied with a smile.

"Okay, I will definitely keep the position of president of the record company for you." Wang Zhonglei patted his chest and promised. The reason why he said it so straightforwardly was that he knew very well that if Nie Wei didn't take care of this mess, then this record company would definitely be a joke. You know, the music industry is in a slump now, and there are only a handful of people who can really make money, and Nie Wei is one of them.

Why did he set up the company? It's just to make money. It can also disperse Nie Wei's energy to the record company, saving him from staying in the agency every day, which is very dangerous. After all, no one can guarantee that he won't be bored and suddenly want to grab power.

Wang Zhonglei is very afraid of Nie Wei, who holds 30% of the shares.

After sitting for a while, Wang Zhonglei said goodbye. Looking at the teacup that Wang Zhonglei had just used on the table, Nie Wei was thoughtful.

Of course, he could see Wang Zhonglei's temptation, but he didn't care, because he always regarded the company as his own protective shell and a platform. He was too lazy to participate in those rotten things about power. With the Wang brothers on top, Nie Wei could save a lot of trouble, and Nie Wei, who held a large share, had a transcendent position in the company.

As for the record company, Nie Wei said that he had an idea, in fact, it was also to comfort the Wang brothers. In this world, Nie Wei might be the only one who knew that making records in the future would be a money-losing business, but it would be okay to set up a record company to support a few singers. At least the OSTs of Huayi's future movies and TV series could be handed over to the record company to operate.

Nie Wei didn't dare to guarantee that he would make a lot of money, but at least it wouldn't be a problem to maintain the operation of a company.

And there was a reason why Nie Wei didn't want to get entangled with Wang Zhonglei in the company because of a little power. His thoughts were not on the film company, but on the theater chain.

There are less than a thousand movie theaters in China now, which is far from satisfying the current Chinese film market.

Especially recently, Zhang Yimou has started a trend of big productions, which also requires more screens to support. It can be said that the Chinese film industry and cinemas are inseparable, and the performance of cinemas will directly determine the box office potential of mainland films.

Don’t you see why there are more and more movies with a box office of over 100 million yuan in 2010? This has a lot to do with the linear increase in theaters. Before 10 years ago, the total number of theaters in the country was less than 2,000, but from 2010 to 10 In four years, the number of theaters across the country has increased by more than 3,000. This is the main reason why "Thailand" has a box office of 1 billion, and finally "Mermaid" has a box office of 3.4 billion.

The key is that Nie Wei knows very well that controlling the theater chain is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of many people in the film industry. This is far more important than fighting for a few labor rights within the company Huayi. His personal energy is limited, so The target focus will naturally be on the theater line.

For this reason, he kept an eye on the government to see if there was any idea of ​​sending theaters to take pictures, and asked Uncle Zhou to pay attention to whether any theaters wanted to take action. Recently, there were some signs of this matter, which made Nie Wei even less interested in talking to Wang Zhonglei. What kind of power struggle is this?

After withdrawing his thoughts, Nie Wei looked at the clock on the wall and guessed that it was almost time for dinner, so he asked Luo Kai to go to the cafeteria with him.

Naturally, he received the attention and courtesy of many employees along the way. Nie Wei's expression was indifferent, but Luo Kai looked smug. After all, he followed Nie Weiyi all the way, just for this moment. He looked at the employees around him with awe and envy. The look in his eyes made him look like he had eaten a big ice cream in the dog days of summer, not to mention how refreshing it was.

After eating in the cafeteria, Nie Wei and Luo Kai returned to the lounge, but as soon as they entered, they saw Luo Yuan greeting a guest inside.

"Nie Wei, you're back." Seeing Nie Wei enter the room, Fan Binbin smiled and said hello, and then explained: "I have been here for half an hour. Luo Yuan said you were going to eat, so I just thought about it later and won't disturb you. Rest."

"Sister Binbin, why are there so many polite words?" Nie Wei smiled and waved her hand, asking Luo Yuan to make another pot of tea. Luo Kai on the side also found an excuse to leave, obviously seeing that Fan Binbin wanted to see Nie for something. only.

"Sister Binbin, do you need help with anything? Just ask." Nie Wei looked at Fan Binbin and said with a smile.

"I really need your help with something." After hearing what Nie Wei said, Fan Binbin went straight to the point and explained: "Nie Wei, aren't you going to make a new movie? Can I find a role in it?"

"Movie? Sister Binbin, you..." Nie Wei looked at Fan Binbin in surprise. She really didn't expect that the master would recommend himself for this movie.

It stands to reason that Fan Binbin is very popular. If she joins the movie, it will definitely be beneficial to the movie box office. But the embarrassing thing is that the heroine of this movie has been reserved for Shu Chang. It would be too luxurious to have Fan Binbin play the rest of the roles.

As if seeing the rejection in Nie Wei's eyes, Fan Binbin was a little anxious and quickly added: "I don't want to play the heroine. I think the role of the kindergarten principal in the script is very good."

Nie Wei expressed surprise and wonder, why did Fan Binbin ask for herself for a small role? As for where Fan Binbin saw the script, Nie Wei was not curious.

After pondering for a moment, Nie Wei said: "Sister Binbin is willing to give me a guest appearance, I am very happy, but I may not be able to pay much."

This answer was tantamount to Nie Wei's acquiescence to Fan Binbin's request, which made Fan Binbin's face suddenly light up with joy.

"The salary doesn't matter. I don't want it. The main thing is that it's your first movie and I want to be a part of it." Fan Binbin replied with a happy face.

"Then I have no problem here." Nie Wei stood up and shook hands with Fan Binbin.

In fact, Nie Wei originally wanted to find a pure-looking actress to play the kindergarten principal. Fan Binbin's appearance was too coquettish and her facial features were charming, which did not fit the character setting of her script. However, these are not a problem in the face of Fan Binbin's popularity. , Besides, in fact, when Fan Binbin wears light makeup, it is not bad. The key lies in the acting skills, and Fan Binbin is an old actor, so Nie Wei does not need to worry about this aspect.

After leaving Nie Wei's office, Fan Binbin breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why she begged Nie Wei to play a small role was because of her current awkward position in Huayi.

I originally thought that when Wang Jinghua left with Liu Jialing's group of actresses, my chance to rise to the top would come, but I never expected that the company would sign several actresses in a row.

As for Lin Yifei and Shu Chang, not only are they more popular than themselves, but they are also younger than them in age. If they have any advantage, it is probably their seniority, but who wants this, and they can't be their bread?

She, Fan Binbin, has not yet reached the point where she has to go through qualifications. She wants to go one step further and become a first-line actress, or even a top star. However, as actresses join Huayi one after another, she finds that this path is becoming more and more difficult. It was easy to leave, especially Zhou Xun's appearance, which made her feel even more chilled.

The latest news is that the new Lunar New Year movie directed by Feng Xiaogang is about to start filming. Since the company has money, it will be a big production. However, before they could try their best to get a role, they learned that the role was gone.

Because Huayi was tapped before, this time it was very much like showing off her abilities. Therefore, the heroine did not find any of its artists at all, but invited the top domestic star Zhang Ziyi. As for the second female lead, she was directly hired by Zhou Get the message.

When Fan Binbin got the news, he felt extremely miserable.

Shu Chang and Lin Yifei are juniors, but they also put huge pressure on them, while Zhou Xun is more like a mountain. Their dazzling qualifications and super high popularity make them unable to raise their heads. This situation of being surrounded by wolves behind and tigers in front makes Fan Binbin feel sad and difficult to resolve. Recently, she has not even had much desire to fight with Li Binbin. Of course, the other party is in a similar state at the moment.

The news that Nie Wei is going to shoot a new movie gave Fan Binbin a new idea.

If she can fight for the leading female role, Fan Binbin will certainly not be polite, but when she got the news, the leading female role was gone. While she was jealous of Shu Chang's good luck, she flipped through the script and finally found a role that was still important, that is, the director of the kindergarten.

In the description of the script, this director is dignified and elegant, beautiful and generous, and is a vase role, but Fan Binbin doesn't care. The reason why she plays Nie Wei's movie is mainly because of its topicality.

Not to mention the bunch of reporters outside, the online discussion alone is enough for Fan Binbin to pay attention to it.

Participating in such a movie, regardless of the final result, it will definitely become a hot topic for people to discuss. Moreover, she has also read the script. Unexpectedly, the script written by Nie Wei is really interesting. She thinks that although Nie Wei is a director for the first time, the script is still quite reliable.

So she decided to take a gamble and took the initiative to ask Nie Wei for such a role.

In the following days, Nie Wei was basically preparing for his new movie, mainly for the audition, which must be done quickly. After all, in September, the summer vacation will be over, and many children in public kindergartens will enter the kindergarten again. This will obviously have a certain impact on his audition plan.

After the news that Nie Wei wanted to select a child actor was revealed, it was also reported by many media, and many parents were really tempted.

After all, the entertainment industry is definitely a glamorous world in the eyes of outsiders, and becoming a star mother and father can not only bring a considerable extra income to the family, but also if their children are really famous, it will be a kind of capital for showing off outside.

In this day and age, everything should be done early. Many parents even think that if they can make their children famous early, even if they don't work in this industry in the future, it is also a kind of capital. After entering the society, they will definitely have an advantage over ordinary people.

For a time, many people were paying attention to the news of this audition.

A few days later, Huayi's official website finally announced the date and location of the audition.

The time is from August 20th to 26th, one in Kyoto and the other in Mingzhu City. Each place will have three days of auditions. This is the date length that Nie Wei has considered for a long time. Three days is not a problem to interview thousands of people, and it also gives many hesitant parents enough time to consider.

The two cities have a population of tens of millions, and there are millions of children who meet the requirements. Even if only one percent of them are interested, Nie Wei thinks that a result should be selected.

What's more, if it really doesn't work, just look for those child stars who are already famous in the circle. At worst, they can be trained at that time, but this is just a last resort. Unless it is really impossible to choose, Nie Wei will not go this way.

Before we knew it, the day of the audition finally came. The first one was naturally held in Nie Wei's base in Kyoto, and the entrance of Huayi Company was full of reporters early in the morning. Obviously, the media also paid attention to this audition for Nie Wei's new movie role.
