Chapter 347 347. Rare Opportunity
Perhaps Nie Wei and Zhang Da Huzi were both a little too realistic, but this society is always realistic.
Two days later, Lin Shishi, who was reading in her dorm, received a call from a staff member of Jizhong Culture Company.
"Ms. Lin Shishi?"
"Yes, I am."
"Hello, I am a representative of Jizhong Culture Company. You interviewed for the role of Cheng Ying before, and the director team is very satisfied with your performance. We hope to invite you to play the role. The salary is as follows..." The staff member explained the salary offered by the company to Lin Shishi in detail, and then added: "If you think it is suitable, then come to our company within three days, and we can officially sign the performance contract."
"Okay, thank you." Lin Shishi thanked politely as usual, and then hung up the phone.
The staff holding the microphone was a little surprised. Usually, when they notify the girls who have passed the interview, they are all very excited. Why is this girl so calm?
But what she didn't know was that the moment she hung up the phone, Lin Shishi's face could no longer be calm. The corners of her mouth rose, and the girl couldn't help but reveal a brilliant smile, just like the moment when a flower bloomed, not to mention how beautiful it was.
She subconsciously wanted to tell that person the good news, but when she turned to the phone number on her phone, the girl suddenly hesitated. After thinking for a long time, she still didn't press the call button.
In the end, the girl still made the first call to her mother to announce the good news.
Shishi's mother was cleaning the house at home at the moment. When she heard her daughter's call to announce the good news, she didn't feel happy yet, but she was really shocked.
"Why didn't you tell your mother about such a big thing?" Hearing her mother's complaint, Lin Shishi on the other end of the phone couldn't help but stick out her tongue. She actually didn't have the confidence to succeed in the interview, so she was just trying it out.
"Then have you asked clearly about the start time of this play? Will it conflict with the "Moon Shadow Wind Lotus" you interviewed before?" Soon, the mother thought of another question and asked hurriedly.
"No." Lin Shishi answered very clearly. She had also considered this issue and had specifically asked Nie Wei about it. The crew of "Moon Shadow and Wind Lotus" would start filming after New Year's Day, while Nie Wei said that the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" would have to wait until March or April, when a TV series would have been finished.
Hearing this, Shishi's mother breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked about the treatment of the new crew and whether she needed to negotiate it herself. However, after hearing what Lin Shishi said about the treatment, Shishi's mother felt that her previous words were completely unnecessary. Although Lin Shishi was only a supporting actress in the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", she actually received more than double the salary of being the heroine in "Moon Shadow and Wind Lotus".
Shishi's mother really had no good requests for this price.
"Oh, my Shishi is amazing. She now earns more than mom and dad. It's great. Keep working hard. Remember to thank Nie Wei. This opportunity is hard-won." Putting aside her worries, Shishi's mother did not forget to ask Lin Shishi to thank Nie Wei. She knew very well that Nie Wei probably helped Lin Shishi a lot when she was able to interview.
After hanging up the phone, thinking about her mother's words, Lin Shishi found the number that made her hesitate for a long time just now, and finally edited a text message, and the content was only the simple word "thank you".
At the same time, Yang Mi also received a message from Jizhong Culture Company notifying her of a successful interview.
It was similar to what was said to Lin Shishi, the only difference was that in terms of treatment, Yang Mi's treatment was a little higher than Lin Shishi's. After all, she was an actor with works in the circle and could no longer be considered a pure newcomer.
Yang Mi was very happy to receive the audition. She couldn't stop cheering before she had time to hang up the phone.
Coincidentally, it was the staff member who notified Yang Mi of the interview. Hearing the cheers from the other end of the phone, the staff member couldn't help but laugh. Right, this is what it should be like when you receive a successful audition notification. The girl was so calm just now, she must not be a normal person.
However, after Yang Mi was excited, she suddenly felt a little nervous.
Because she was completely acting first and asking for permission later in this interview.
As a contracted actor, she went to interview a crew without telling the agency. It would be fine if it was not known. Now she is facing the signing of the contract, and she can't avoid the company's hurdle, so she still has to face it.
However, Yang Mi didn't go to the leader stupidly, but talked to her agent first.
"You are so brave. You auditioned for the crew behind the company's back. If Sister Hong knew about this, aren't you afraid of being put on ice?" The first sentence the agent said when he rushed to the company and saw Yang Mi was a scolding.
He really didn't expect that this little girl under his command would have such a positive idea. She dared to audition for other crews without the company's knowledge, and the key was that she really succeeded. However, after a brief anger, the agent was more surprised. The role of Guo Xiang in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was already a very important role, and it was such a popular crew. He was also happy for Yang Mi.
As for the reprimand at the beginning, it was just to warn Yang Mi not to get carried away. If this became a habit, she would always do things behind the company's back. Sooner or later, she would make trouble for her boss. When she was hidden, she would not be able to help and plead.
However, after a blow, it was natural to give a sweet date. The agent took responsibility for this matter.
The next day, Yang Mi was called to Li Shaohong's office.
She was quite nervous before entering the room, but when she walked in and found that Li Shaohong was kind to her, her nervousness gradually eased.
Li Shaohong first asked Yang Mi how she was doing in the company and whether she was used to it, and then she changed the topic to "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
"To be honest, I was quite surprised when Xiao Wang told me about this, but it's good to be able to audition successfully. The role of Guo Xiang is also very good, but I'm curious, why are you suddenly interested in martial arts dramas?" Li Shaohong asked with a puzzled look.
"A friend thought I was suitable, so I wanted to give it a try." Yang Mi replied.
"Oh? That friend seems to have a great influence on you." Li Shaohong smiled and said, "Okay, act well and don't let this good opportunity go to waste."
"Thank you, Sister Hong." Yang Mi said goodbye and walked out of the room and breathed a sigh of relief. This hurdle was finally passed.
The little girl was very excited at the moment, and she was jumping up and down when she walked, causing many passing staff to tease her, but Yang Mi didn't care. She was just happy, very happy.
Li Shaohong immediately mobilized her connections and soon found out the real reason why Yang Mi was chosen.
It turned out to be Nie Wei!!!
When she got the news, Li Shaohong was stunned for a long time before she recovered. She never thought that an unknown little girl under her would be related to Nie Wei.
This is hard to imagine in the eyes of ordinary people, and it is even more incredible for Li Shaohong.
Not to mention that Nie Wei is a first-line super popular artist and an absolute leader among the new generation of artists, and he is worth billions and is a major shareholder of Huayi. In the eyes of people like her, Nie Wei and Yang Mi are simply people from two different worlds, but they have an intersection, which is incredible.
However, after accepting the reality, Li Shaohong's mentality also changed. At least for Yang Mi's resource investment, she felt that she could be appropriately relaxed. The rest depends on whether the child can do well.
Moreover, Yang Mi's audition for "The Condor Heroes" suddenly reminded Li Shaohong of an artist under his company. Perhaps he could give it a try. If he made some efforts, this TV series might really bring his career back to life.
As for Nie Wei, he received two thank-you text messages within less than ten minutes. The one sent by Lin Shishi was very simple, but Nie Wei could feel the sincerity of the other party. The text message sent by Yang Mi had a lot of thank-you words. This little girl knew how to behave and how to please people. At least Nie Wei felt very comfortable and felt that his help was not in vain.
After putting away the phone, Nie Wei asked Luo Kai who was driving in front: "How long will it take to get there?"
"Ten minutes." Luo Kai looked at the navigation and replied.
Their trip was to the Workers' Stadium, the venue for the New Year's Eve party. The stage had already been built there, and the rehearsal schedule was almost arranged. As one of the planners of this party, Nie Wei went there with the task of review.
When they arrived at the scene, the person in charge of the scene soon introduced and reported to Nie Wei.
"The stage has been set up, the lights are almost installed, and the sound equipment is still being adjusted. However, there will be no problem in rushing it before the first rehearsal. Now some of the coordination is not very familiar, and we need to try to run in during the rehearsal. What I mean is that it is best to arrange one more rehearsal and one more contact, not only the artists can be more familiar with the stage, but also us behind the scenes. "
"Okay." Nie Wei nodded and agreed with the person in charge: "I will ask them to arrange one more day of rehearsal time."
"That's great." The person in charge of the scene smiled happily when he heard Nie Wei agreed so readily.
This opportunity is very rare for him. As the person in charge of the scene, the success of the party naturally has his share of credit, and this kind of party is not only held once. His dedication this time is to be able to use him next time.
After a round of walking, it was already noon. Nie Wei was about to go back to the company to solve the lunch problem, and Shu Chang called.
"Big director, are you free?" Shu Chang asked jokingly as soon as the phone was connected.
The reason why they call each other this way is naturally because of the relationship between the two people's cooperation in the last movie. On the set of "Speeding Scandal", this girl always calls him "Big Director". It is said to be a beautiful meaning, but in fact it is more of a joke between young lovers.
"I'm going back to the company for lunch." Nie Wei reported, and did not forget to ask Shu Chang if he had eaten lunch.
"I'm going to the school cafeteria. I don't know if I can grab sweet and sour pork ribs today." Shu Chang on the other end of the phone couldn't help swallowing his saliva when Nie Wei mentioned eating. After listening to classes for a whole morning, people were already hungry.
"Do you want to come to the company? There are plenty of pork ribs." Nie Wei smiled, but Shu Chang quickly refused. In a word, he was afraid of trouble.
The two chatted one by one, until Shu Chang walked into the cafeteria to line up, and Nie Wei hung up the phone. However, as soon as the phone was hung up, the ringing sounded again. At first, Nie Wei thought that Shu Chang had forgotten to say something to him, but when he took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Wang Zhonglei who called.
As soon as the call was connected, Wang Zhonglei asked Nie Wei in a very serious tone: "Nie Wei, how is the editing of "Speeding Scandal" going?"
"Huh?" Nie Wei was surprised why Wang Zhonglei suddenly became concerned about the editing speed of his movie, but he didn't hide it and said directly: "It's about three-quarters done."
"I'll give you a week, can you finish it?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Nie Wei did not answer, but asked in confusion.
"Something happened to Director Feng's Lunar New Year film and it can't be released this year. I was wondering if your film could be a top candidate." Wang Zhonglei said the reason.
Upon hearing this, Nie Wei's eyes suddenly lit up. The Lunar New Year period is the most competitive and most productive period in the country. Most of the box office miracles in the past were achieved during the Lunar New Year period. In fact, in the future Many electronic music box office records were also completed during the Lunar New Year period, which is definitely the most valuable period in the Chinese film market.
In the past, director Feng was in charge of the company's Lunar New Year movies. This year, director Feng suddenly stopped filming, so Wang Zhonglei turned his attention to Nie Wei.
"If I work overtime, it will be fine within a week, but the soundtrack is not finished yet, and there are still issues with review..."
Before Nie Wei could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Zhonglei: "It's not a problem. I'll handle the review. It doesn't matter if the review version doesn't have a soundtrack. You can just complete the soundtrack while the review is underway. "
"Then I'll leave the review to you, and I'll be responsible for the production of the film." Nie Wei made the decision immediately.
"No problem." Wang Zhonglei agreed without hesitation. He was very optimistic about Nie Wei's movie. Now that the Lunar New Year slot was available, his first thought was to push the movie. After all, the slot is rare. Now it seems that Nie Wei is also very confident. At least it takes enough courage to dare to put his movie in such a fiercely competitive schedule.
"Brother Kai, hurry back to the company." After hanging up the phone, Nie Wei immediately told Luo Kai to speed up. At the same time, he also did not forget to send text messages to his editors, asking them to come to the company immediately and be on standby.
"Is our movie going to start early?" Luo Kai asked excitedly while stepping on the accelerator.
Hearing this, Nie Wei couldn't help but smile and replied: "Yes, during the Lunar New Year, our movie is coming!!!"
