Chapter 348 348. New Year's Eve Party (Part 1)
Nie Wei is very busy, almost like a dog.
But he is very happy because he is busy with his plans, not just busying himself.
The time for the New Year's Eve party is getting closer and closer, and "Speeding Scandal" must be edited as soon as possible. Although I don't know what kind of relationship Wang Zhonglei has to get the movie approved quickly, since he has promised it, Nie Wei can't let down the chain. Even if it doesn't succeed in the end, at least he has tried his best.
Since receiving the call from Wang Zhonglei, Nie Wei has lived in the editing room. He only came out to solve personal hygiene problems. Such hard work is not without rewards. The agreed time is seven days, but with Nie Wei working overtime, the editing of the film was completed in five days.
On that day, Wang Zhongjun also came to the company specially to watch the version without dubbing and music. Even though the film is not in its complete form, it still makes the Wang brothers laugh. They are not sleepy for two hours and have been immersed in the world of movies.
"Very good, I want to ask Old Feng to come and learn from you, Nie Wei, your humor is no worse than Director Feng's." Wang Zhongjun looked at the thank you list, clapped his hands and said to Nie Wei.
"No, Director Feng is still very skilled. I'm a newcomer, please don't flatter me." Nie Wei waved his hand and said modestly.
"Do you want to work in the film company?" Wang Zhonglei suddenly asked with a smile.
Nie Wei looked at this guy in surprise and found that his eyes were quite sincere, not like a test, which surprised Nie Wei. After all, Wang Zhonglei was very resistant to Nie Wei's involvement in Huayi Film and Television for a while, otherwise he would not have specially established a record company, partly for the company to expand its business, and partly to contain Nie Wei.
But this time Wang Zhonglei really wanted to invite Nie Wei. Although Nie Wei had only made such a movie and had not yet been tested by the market, Wang Zhonglei, who had been in this industry for several years, had already seen Nie Wei's potential. Moreover, it was not easy to find such a talent who could direct, write and act. The talent Nie Wei showed had made him willing to give up part of the circle. After all, this was not a one-person company. The right way was for everyone to make money when the company was good.
Nie Wei made a decision quickly, shook his head, and replied: "No, I have to be busy with The Condor Heroes, and Alan and TWINS' new albums. If I work part-time, I will be exhausted."
"Haha, what's wrong with young people being diligent." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile, but he didn't persuade him again.
The group walked out of the screening room, and Wang Zhonglei turned around and assured Nie Wei: "Leave the rest to me, have a good rest."
Hearing this, Nie Wei nodded, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart. Rest? Where is the time? The New Year's Eve party is about to start, and he still has a lot to do.
In this New Year's Eve party, all the artists with some fame in the company will participate. Those with less fame will perform one program, and those with higher fame will perform more. For example, Shu Chang and Lin Yifei will sing two songs, while Nie Wei and Zhou Xun will sing three songs. Of course, there are some people who are tone-deaf. Those who have talents will show their talents themselves, and those who don't will wait until the final synthesis to make up the number, which can be regarded as showing their faces.
However, it is very interesting that 80% of the company's artists chose songs composed by Nie Wei, which saved a lot of copyright issues. In addition, the company's Shuang Bing actually sang well. This is also a new impression Nie Wei discovered about the two. However, it is obvious that the two of them are not very concerned about singing. Nie Wei smiled and asked them if they wanted to release an album, but they all shook their heads.
Time passed unknowingly, and finally arrived at the New Year's Eve party.
Nie Wei took a day off during yesterday's rehearsal, mainly because he was too tired recently. He was afraid that he would not be in good condition for the performance that day, so he had to take a good rest for a day. However, it must be said that this decision was right. Nie Wei, who had replenished his water surface yesterday, got up early today, looking energetic, and no longer tired like he had been a few days ago.
After doing a set of boxing and standing for half an hour, Zhou Qing also prepared breakfast.
Nie Wei did not go to the table immediately, but went back to the room to take a shower, and then went to eat. When he came to the table, Zhou Duoduo was holding a big steamed bun in his left hand and a big chicken leg in his right hand, and his mouth was full of oil.
"Hurry up and wipe it off." Seeing this, Nie Wei quickly took a tissue and wiped the grease off Zhou Duoduo's mouth, and did not forget to complain to his mother: "Mom, why did you give Duoduo a chicken leg so early in the morning? It's so greasy."
"She asked for it, what can I do." Zhou Qing, who was scooping porridge in the kitchen, heard Nie Wei's words and replied aggrievedly.
Nie Wei sighed helplessly and glared at Zhou Duoduo. This girl only knows how to bully the weak and fear the strong, otherwise why didn't she ask him and Uncle Zhou for chicken legs to eat.
The little girl was glared at by Nie Wei, and immediately pretended to be "I was wrong", and then pitifully put the half-eaten chicken leg covered with her saliva on the small plate in front of her, and then looked at Nie Wei with tears in her eyes, looking like she was waiting for her fate.
"Forget it, don't do it again." Nie Wei had a headache. This girl had a high EQ. Most naughty kids would resist, but she pretended to be pitiful. He knew that she would probably do it again, but seeing the little girl like this, Nie Wei couldn't bear it. What's more, the half chicken leg made Nie Wei feel uncomfortable. If she didn't eat it, it would be a waste. So he decided to help the girl.
"Brother is the best, the best, the best in the world." Duoduo quickly picked up the chicken leg and took a bite, while mumbling in her mouth. This sweet mouth was like honey, and Nie Wei couldn't help but smile.
However, looking at Duoduo happily chewing the chicken leg, Nie Wei still did not forget to make her feel bad: "Just eat it, be careful not to become a little fat girl."
"No, my mother said that I am still growing and need a lot of nutrition. This is called supplementing nutrition. I won't get fat." Zhou Duoduo replied immediately. It happened that Zhou Qing came out with porridge at this time. Nie Wei looked at his mother helplessly. It turned out that his mother was also an "accomplice" in this girl's chicken leg.
Zhou Qing obviously heard what Zhou Duoduo said. She smiled embarrassedly and gave the first bowl of porridge to Nie Wei. At the same time, she changed the subject and said: "Try it. I just learned to make black rice porridge. I heard it is very nutritious."
"Okay, mom, you don't have to feed me. I can eat it myself."
The breakfast was very warm. After eating, Nie Wei took out a few tickets from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Qing.
"Our company is holding a New Year's Eve party tonight. Mom, if you have nothing to do, take Duoduo to see the excitement."
"Okay." Zhou Qing collected the tickets, handed one to the curious Zhou Duoduo, and stuffed the rest into her pocket. She had already made up her mind to take Zhou Duoduo to see it in the evening. No matter whether it suits her taste or not, at least she has to support her son's performance.
Watching his mother collect the tickets, Nie Wei smiled and took the initiative to help clean up the dishes.
Half an hour later, Luo Kai drove to Nie Wei's door and took Nie Wei to the company. When he arrived at the company, Nie Wei found that there were obviously fewer people in the company today. After asking around, he found out that they all went to the scene for the last rehearsal. Obviously, many people attach great importance to this New Year's Eve party.
No wonder, you know, this New Year's Eve party will be broadcast live. The live broadcast rights have been bought by Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and it will be broadcast on the satellite channel. It can be seen all over the country. Such a rare opportunity to show your face is simply too difficult for some young artists, so they naturally want to show their best side.
As for some well-known artists, they naturally don't want to lose face in such an occasion, so it is understandable that everyone is serious.
Nie Wei was not too nervous about this. He was born with a big heart. Everyone was busy going to the last rehearsal, but he slept in his lounge for half a day, and then had a lunch in the company, and then he and Luo Kai arrived at the party leisurely.
Coincidentally, when Nie Wei arrived at the scene, Lin Yifei was rehearsing. Looking at the ethereal girl wearing a white long skirt standing on the stage singing "Meeting", Nie Wei couldn't help but show a touch of admiration in his eyes. Lin Yifei herself has a literary girl temperament, and it is really suitable for her to sing this song with a hint of melancholy.
As Nie Wei watched, for some reason, Lin Yifei suddenly appeared in his mind in another time and space, wearing a black leather jacket and leather pants and dancing hotly, which was simply destructive. He subconsciously shivered, and was discovered by the girl who just approached.
"Nie Wei, is it that scary when Sissi sings? You look so scared." The girl patted Nie Wei's shoulder and teased with a smile.
Nie Wei smiled and answered directly without turning his head: "Ms. Shu Chang, which eye of yours saw me scared? You're talking nonsense."
"Just make excuses." Shu Chang pouted, snorted, and then asked: "Why did you arrive so late?"
"I took a break at the company." Nie Wei answered, and seeing the girl's worried expression, he quickly comforted and explained: "It's not that I'm tired, but I don't think it's necessary to rehearse. I took a day off yesterday and I have recovered well. Look, there are no dark circles under my eyes."
As he said that, Nie Wei put his face very close to the girl and pointed at his eyes.
"It's your own body anyway. What can you do if you don't feel sorry for yourself?" The girl said this with a little resentment. Who made Nie Wei work so hard recently? When she saw Nie Wei's tired look that day, she was scared because she had never seen Nie Wei so tired.
Nie Wei smiled at the girl's seemingly indifferent but actually caring words, and took another step towards the girl. Seeing this, the girl rolled her eyes at him, and then took a step to the side. Seeing this, Nie Wei took another big step with a rare thick skin, and now the two of them were almost shoulder to shoulder.
"Hehe, I don't feel sorry for myself, but someone feels sorry for me."
"Pretentious."
Just as the two were flirting, Nie Wei, who had a sensitive ear, suddenly heard that Lin Yifei, who was singing on the stage, missed a small syllable. He turned his head curiously and found that the girl was looking straight at him.
Nie Wei turned his head silently, pretending not to see it.
But even so, Nie Wei and Shu Chang's idea of staying alone for a while was quickly broken, because there were too many artists singing Nie Wei's songs, and because most of them were not professional singers, they were inevitably a little unconfident in themselves, so when they knew Nie Wei was here, they all ran to Nie Wei and asked him to give them guidance.
As a result, Nie Wei became the judge of the evening party throughout the afternoon, constantly giving suggestions to the artists who were rehearsing on stage.
As time passed, more and more people came outside the venue. You should know that Huayi sold 50,000 tickets this time. Logically, there should be at least 50,000 people. In fact, there were more than that. Some friends who didn’t have tickets but wanted to go in also came to the scene, wanting to buy tickets from scalpers at a high price. In addition, because of Nie Wei’s suggestion, several stalls were temporarily set up outside the Workers’ Stadium to sell the surroundings of the evening party, which also attracted a lot of people.
Two hours before the evening party started, Wang Zhonglei received the first good news.
The first batch of goods in the surrounding stores of the concert had basically been sold out. At present, the store had to be closed for ten minutes to wait for the clerk to restock the shelves. The sales of the first batch of goods also meant that Huayi had pocketed nearly seven-digit profits before the evening party started.
The second batch of goods on the shelves were also sold out within an hour. The clerk immediately rushed to replenish the third batch of goods, which was also the last batch. As a result, it still did not stop the enthusiasm of the fans. Except for the remaining light sticks, there was no other peripherals left, and even the samples were bought by fans.
Calculated, these products, minus the cost of their own production, directly created about two million yuan of profits for Huayi. This did not satisfy the fans on the scene. Many fans who came but could not buy tickets and could not enter wanted to buy some souvenirs to take back. As a result, some people did not realize such a small wish in the end. For this, several fans cried on the spot out of grievance.
And Wang Zhonglei has been numb to the good news calls from the marketing department. Now he is both happy and regretful. If he had known that the sales were so good, he would have asked people to make more. Then, like now, people are crying and waving money, and he can't make money.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but stare at Nie Wei with resentment. It was this guy who insisted on testing the market. If he didn't let him make more, he would blame him.
Nie Wei got goosebumps all over his body when Wang Zhonglei looked at him with resentful eyes, and he quickly explained: "Brother Zhonglei, I suggested that you agree at that time."
"That's true, but it's a pity." Wang Zhonglei retracted his gaze and smiled embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter, you will know next year, there is no end to making money." Nie Wei comforted Wang Zhonglei, and then found an excuse to leave. He really couldn't stand Wang Zhonglei's resentful look.
Just as Nie Wei went to find his own little Shuchang, a broadcast car outside also arrived at the scene. The sky blue icon of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV was printed on it, which was very conspicuous and immediately attracted the attention of many fans.
Especially when the host came down with a man carrying a camera, the fans around suddenly cheered and rushed to the camera, which immediately scared the team who came to do the interview before the party.
