Chapter 427 427. Preparing for the invasion of Neon
As soon as he received Wang Zhonglei's call, Nie Wei rushed to his office.
This time, the duty secretary in the secretarial room outside his door was replaced by Xiao Tang, whom Nie Wei was familiar with. When Xiao Tang saw Nie Wei, he also greeted him affectionately: "Mr. Nie, you are here."
Nie Wei smiled at her and nodded, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Xiao Tang smiling again and saying, "Make a pot of bamboo leaves and green leaves. Okay, Mr. Nie, please go ahead and I'll deliver it in a moment."
"Smart." Nie Wei smiled and gave Xiao Tang a thumbs up. As expected, it was easier to communicate with a familiar secretary. He already knew what he wanted without having to give special instructions.
While Xiao Tang was making tea, Nie Wei had already walked into the office. To his surprise, not only Wang Zhonglei was there, but also Wang Zhongjun.
"Nie Wei, come sit here." When Wang Zhongjun saw Nie Wei come in, he immediately waved to Nie Wei. After Nie Wei sat over, he said directly: "The specific company cannot be confirmed for the time being, but Zhong Lei also found some Come and take a look at the company that agrees with the conditions.”
"It's all here." Wang Zhonglei took out a piece of information, which recorded some Hong Kong-funded mainland film companies, and all of them were shooting blockbusters in preparation for this year's Lunar New Year. Basically, they matched several clues given by Nie Wei.
Nie Wei picked up the information and read it carefully.
There is not much content, only the size of an A4 piece of paper, and only four companies are mentioned in it. The first one mentioned is a China-Hong Kong joint venture mainland film company called 'National Star', which is mainly Hong Kong-funded, and the investors are He is a well-known film investor in Hong Kong. He originally established a film company in the golden age of Hong Kong and produced many good films. However, later on, the film industry in Hong Kong was in recession, so he took over the company. I sold it for investment, but I didn’t expect that I would now return to the film industry, and even set up a film company together with mainland filmmakers.
"This big boss has made a lot of money from investing, and the film industry in the Mainland seems to be booming in the past two years, so he has the idea of investing in a film company in the Mainland. This year is their company's first big movie in the Mainland. It is being produced and is scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year. I ranked him first because there are some bad rumors about this boss in Hong Kong and he seems to be a bit gray. "
Nie Wei nodded. Wang Zhonglei's worries were not unnecessary, but there were still many doubts. For example, Huayi had no business dealings with this company at all, so there was no way to talk about grudges.
Nie Wei told the two Wang brothers about his thoughts. Wang Zhonglei pondered for a long time and asked, "Is it because of interests?"
"It doesn't look like it." Nie Wei immediately shook his head and denied: "My movie has just been filmed and has not even passed the review. There is no way to discuss the benefits. The uncertainty of the movie's box office is too great, and the other party has just entered the mainland. It’s been a year and we haven’t even established our footing yet. Why would we offend Huayi for something uncertain? I think this potential opponent is more likely to target us specifically because he has a grudge against us.”
"Then can this company be dropped?" Wang Zhonglei nodded, obviously agreeing with Nie Wei's statement, and at the same time he did not forget to point to the second company in the information.
Nie Wei followed the position of Wang Zhonglei's finger and looked at it. The composition of this company was more complicated. It not only had funds from the Hong Kong capital, but also had the background of many investment companies in Nanyang. So many entangled interests meant that the other party's actions were impossible. It is too pure, and Huayi has no business dealings with this company. The above is not in line with Nie Wei's analysis just now, and the suspicion can indeed be ruled out.
"I think the third company is the most likely. Take a look, Nie Wei." Wang Zhongjun said from the side at this time. Nie Wei continued to read along with his words. When he noticed the name of this company, he couldn't help but feel happy. He finally I understand why Wang Zhongjun said this, because this company is the company of Wang Jinghua, who almost wiped out Huayi Agency.
"Wang Jinghua is not that kind of person." Nie Wei said something fair. Regarding the above three companies, the one Nie Wei had the least suspicion about was Wang Jinghua's company. Although this woman is female, she has a bigger mind than ordinary men. , before, Huayi was poached for power, but which celebrity left with her not willingly?
And Wang Jinghua has always admired Nie Wei. The last time Nie Wei's "Speed Scandal" was released, Wang Jinghua's artists helped promote it on their blogs. If Wang Jinghua is really targeting Nie Wei, it would be nice not to add insult to injury. Why do we still need to let our artists help promote it?
"Brother, Nie Wei is right. Although I hate this woman, I don't think she is this kind of person." Wang Zhonglei chose to side with Nie Wei.
But Wang Zhongjun still insisted on his opinion, thinking that Wang Jinghua was the most suspicious. Nie Wei ignored him and continued to read. The information on the fourth company was also not complicated, but after seeing the Hong Kong-funded investment company, Nie Wei suddenly frowned. Wrinkling, this made Wang Zhonglei, who had been watching Nie Wei's expression, feel his heart skip a beat.
"What did you find?" Wang Zhonglei asked.
"Maybe this time the other party is not targeting Huayi, but has a personal grudge against me." Nie Wei stretched out his hand to rub the middle part of the body and said with a wry smile. At this time, Xiao Tang also walked in with the soaked bamboo leaf greens, quietly The aroma of tea could not dispel Nie Wei's helplessness.
"You can't be with...Xiao Tang, please go out first." Wang Zhonglei was about to say, when he suddenly saw his elder brother wink at him, and immediately noticed that there were outsiders, so he immediately asked Xiao Tang to go out.
Even the secretary can't say this to his face. If word spreads, something will happen.
Xiao Tang walked out with a look of curiosity. After Wang Zhonglei saw the door closed, he immediately asked Nie Wei anxiously: "Do you have a grudge against Superboy?"
No wonder Wang Zhonglei asked this, because this fourth company is the film company invested by Superboy Li Zekai.
"Does iFlytek Group know? My twenty shares were purchased from Li Zekai." Nie Wei replied calmly. At this time, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun also thought about it. After all, this matter was quite a big deal at that time. , after all, iFlytek became extremely popular as soon as it went public, and Nie Wei became a rich man because of it. The media reported it for a while.
Nie Wei was helpless that this matter really had nothing to do with him. The investment transaction was a matter of mutual consent, because the possibility of enmity was unlikely. It was more likely that the Hong Kong media at that time was blindly praising himself and belittling this person. Superboy left the seeds of resentment in this Superboy's heart.
After all, he is the proud man of heaven. Since he started doing business, this deal with Nie Wei was definitely the most unfavorable and humiliating time for him. However, he has the aura of his father, Li Chaoren, on his head. The media saw his failure. They would say anything bad about him, and when they used these bad words, they could not help but praise Nie Wei. Fortunately, one and two media outlets seemed to be criticizing Li Zekai's failure at that time. Maybe this Superboy really has to compete with himself when investing in film companies in the mainland.
Although there was no basis for this idea, Nie Wei had an intuition that this incident was probably related to Li Zekai.
"What should we do?" Wang Zhonglei first looked at Wang Zhongjun and found that the other person was also frowning at the moment. Then he looked at Nie Wei, who had a relaxed look on his face.
Nie Wei really didn't have any psychological pressure, so what about Superboy, Nie Wei was not afraid.
"We just wait for the other side to make an attack. When the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth." Nie Wei smiled and stretched, his mood calmed down at this moment. He took a sip of fragrant tea and showed a satisfied expression on his face.
Wang Zhonglei had a wry smile on his face. He could not imitate Nie Wei's indifference. After all, without Huayi, Nie Wei would still have many industries, so that he would not have to worry about it for ten lifetimes. But without Huayi, Wang Zhonglei would really have nothing. How could he not be nervous.
But Nie Wei's calmness also gave him some sense of security. At least Nie Wei hadn't panicked yet, which meant that the other party obviously had a way to deal with it, and he just needed to cooperate with Nie Wei.
After making up his mind, Wang Zhonglei's expression relaxed a little, and he poured a cup of tea for the elder brother beside him. The communication between the three gradually returned to the movie.
The first is the issue of submitting it for review. Nie Wei's film will be fully edited in a few days. After all, Nie Wei didn't waste much footage during filming, so the editing will naturally be much easier.
"With Master Liang's control, there shouldn't be much of a problem in submitting it for review. After all, there are no intimate or violent scenes in my movie. At most, it's just holding hands, and there's not even a kiss."
Nie Wei is not worried about the review of this movie. The core of this movie is really pure and excessive. It does not involve politics and it is pure from beginning to end.
The two male protagonists, one is the grandson of the heroine, and the relationship between the two is more of a family relationship similar to friendship. Although there is an ambiguity with the other male protagonist, their relationship is one of mutual admiration. But there is no real progress, so the biggest scale in the film is just holding hands. According to European and American ratings, it is definitely worthy of the G-rated standard for viewing by all ages.
"Well, it will be no problem if Lao Liang is here." Lao Liang is the editor that Nie Wei hired from the company. He is very experienced and has won Wang Zhonglei's trust.
After the review, there are promotions and schedules, especially the schedule. The film scheduling rate may directly affect the box office. Naturally, the small theater chain in Nie Wei's hands will fully schedule the films, but the other theater lines may not be like this, but there is no such thing as this. Nie Wei needs to think about it and leave everything to Wang Zhongjun.
Nie Wei sat for a while and then said goodbye. After he left, Wang Zhonglei said to Wang Zhongjun: "I'm still a little worried."
"What are you afraid of? Li Zekai is not Superman Li, and Nie Wei is not someone who can be bullied. This kid has great energy. With him here, our Huayi cannot collapse." Wang Zhongjun replied with a smile, hiding it in his heart. With a hint of disdain for Li Zekai, so what about Little Superman? This is not real estate. You are just a rookie in the film industry. If you want to stumbling with Big Brother, Big Brother will not teach you how to be a well-behaved filmmaker. .
Five days later, the editing of the film was completed and Wang Zhonglei immediately sent it to the censorship bureau, while Nie Wei devoted himself to another job.
Alan's new album.
In addition to the two title songs originally promised, Nie Wei also came up with a Japanese hit song specifically for Alan to help Alan start to test the Japanese market.
After all, Japan is the largest music market in Asia and the second largest music market in the world. Compared with the domestic market, that is the real battlefield. If Alan wants to gain a foothold in Asia, the Japanese music market cannot be missed.
I don’t see those girl groups and boy groups that will become popular in Korea in the future. The first market they conquer will be Japan, because the market there is really big and the benefits are huge. Compared to China, the population base is very large. , but the music market is not satisfactory. Those singers come to China just to make money and do commercial performances, but it is difficult to see them releasing Chinese albums because there is simply not enough market support.
Nie Wei established the Fanxing Music Platform to save the Chinese music market to a large extent, so that it would not fall too quickly, cultivate a group of fans with genuine awareness, and at least let the singers have a bowl of rice to eat, so that they would not have to do variety shows in the future.
When Alan, the leading singer, officially put the album on the agenda, the entire Huayi Records Company started to operate.
However, the most important thing is the quality of the songs. No one doubts the quality of Nie Wei's songs, but they all want to hear what songs are as soon as possible. So on the day when Nie Wei brought the songs to the company, more than a dozen musicians from Huayi Records gathered in the recording studio, except for those who really couldn't come because of something.
As soon as Nie Wei entered the room, everyone immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
"Don't be busy with greetings, listen to the song." Nie Wei smiled and took out the CD and handed it to a musician next to him. The other party was excited, as if he was on a pilgrimage, took the CD with both hands, and then carefully opened it, and then put it into the machine with an expectant expression.
"I'm-just-a-prisoner-of-love..."
As soon as the song started, everyone at the scene felt their ears tremble. The beautiful melody instantly captured their hearts. As they pondered the lyrics, they suddenly found that the repeated singing at the beginning was very consistent with the artistic conception of the lyrics. Struggling repeatedly in love, isn't it the prisoner of love?
Without Nie Wei's words, everyone at the scene guessed the name of the song just by this beginning.
Once an expert makes a move, there is only nothing. Just by looking at this beginning, the music at the scene knows that the quality of this song will not be bad. Sure enough, after the beginning, with a few strong drum beats, it instantly goes straight into the main melody of the song. Different from the current popular 48 beats and 68 beats in domestic songs, the melody of this song is more free and unrestrained, making people feel like they are listening to a woman telling a story about love.
The musicians present felt that Nie Wei's way of writing songs seemed to have opened a new door for them.
