Chapter 429 429. Fight on the silver screen again

Nie Wei waved at the lovely girl, who immediately rushed out of the recording room.

"Several teachers have praised you just now. It seems that you have performed well recently. Tell me, what reward do you want?" Nie Wei asked with a smile: "How about giving you three days off?"

Hearing Nie Wei's words, Alan's eyes lit up immediately.

Before Alan entered this industry, one of the reasons why she envied celebrities was that her work was "easy" and she could control her own time. After all, the celebrities she watched on TV in the past did not have a fixed job, and even if they worked, they just chatted, played games, and sang songs. How easy it was.

But after really entering this industry, she understood what it meant to be helpless.

Indeed, there are also easy things in this industry, but it also means that you are not popular. If you don't have a job, you will naturally stay at home. This is not what Alan wants, but when you become popular, you will naturally have more work. When you were a student, you had a rest during holidays, but now that you are a star, you are deprived of the opportunity to rest during holidays.

So compared to her student days, Alan, who has become a star, is more eager for vacation. Last year, out of 366 days, Alan worked for 340 days, and only 26 days were days that she could rest completely. So Nie Wei asked for three days of vacation, which was definitely a big surprise for the girl.

So without even thinking about it, Alan nodded vigorously: "Really give me three days of vacation? Okay, okay."

"I'm kidding you." Nie Wei suddenly smiled and blinked at Alan, saying that the girl was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously stared at Nie Wei.

"Are you angry with me? Hahaha." Although the girl quickly restrained her angry expression, she still made Nie Wei laugh, mainly because the reaction was too real, and it was really from the heart, just like a child who didn't get candy.

The two musicians watching the fun also laughed, but while laughing, they looked at Alan with a hint of deep meaning. Just from that little action just now, it can be seen how good the relationship between Nie Wei and this nominal student is. From this point of view, Zhang Liangying may not have any idea about Alan's status as the top star of the record company for a while.

"I'm kidding you. I'll reward you if I say so. Work hard today. I'll give you three days off after the end to have fun. Someone from Japan will come to discuss the contract in three days. You and I will meet them then." Nie Wei stretched out his hand and rubbed the girl's hair, saying with a smile.

Alan lowered her head in embarrassment, but the joy in her eyes could not be hidden. If someone else promised her a three-day vacation, Alan would not believe it at all, because a star's schedule is often arranged for a month, and every day and every hour is stipulated, but Nie Wei is different. Alan knows how much weight his words carry. As long as it is Nie Wei's order, Alan does not need to worry about whether there will be problems with the schedule. She only needs to be responsible for the vacation.

Soon, Alan's agent received a call from the company, informing her that Nie Wei had given Alan three days off. The agent's expression was tangled, but he still agreed.

He had to agree. Maybe someone in Huayi would dare to oppose Nie Wei's words, but that person was definitely not him. It was just hard for the agent. Three days, how many things would he have to turn down? He had to think about it carefully.

Nie Wei's three-day vacation for Alan was not a whim. It was necessary to let the little girl relax for three days and face foreign guests with a better appearance.

Alan could take a three-day vacation, but Nie Wei couldn't. The edited movie had been submitted for review, but Nie Wei couldn't be idle. "Your Name" had to be put on the agenda.

The next day, Nie Wei came to Wang Zhonglei's office with the script.

"What wind brought you here again?" Wang Zhonglei asked with a smile when he saw Nie Wei enter the room.

"It's true." Nie Wei took out the script and put it on Wang Zhonglei's desk, which made the general manager's expression startled.

"What is this?"

"A new script."

Hearing Nie Wei's answer, Wang Zhonglei quickly picked up the script. The name was quite strange, called "Your Name", but Wang Zhonglei was very much looking forward to the content of Nie Wei's script.

Half an hour passed, Wang Zhonglei put down the script, and looked at Nie Wei with admiration in his eyes.

"Men and women swap bodies, interesting."

"When I wrote "Back to 20", I had this inspiration. In fact, this theme has been filmed before, but because the story is not strong, it did not have much effect, but I think this theme is interesting and worth exploring, and it is very challenging for the actors' acting skills." Nie Wei said seriously.

Wang Zhonglei kept nodding his head as he listened. He also thought it was quite interesting. Men and women swap bodies, and then use the difference in life in the countryside and the city as a comparison, so that the two male and female protagonists who swap bodies have different growth processes, and the ending rounds out the story very freshly, especially the open ending at the end. The sentence "Your name" that points to the theme makes Wang Zhonglei, a middle-aged uncle, feel a little touched.

But none of these can compare to the meaning revealed by Nie Wei's topic. Pointing at the script with his finger, Wang Zhonglei looked at Nie Wei and asked, "Are you going to act in this movie?"

"Yes, this role is worth my challenge." Nie Wei answered without hesitation.

Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help laughing. Nie Wei was willing to take the lead, which was great. Moreover, since the filming of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was completed in the first half of the year, Nie Wei has not taken on any new dramas because of the filming of "Back to 20". No matter how popular a star is, he can't stand the passage of time. The best way is to keep the works updated. This year, there is a TV series, but Nie Wei has not expressed anything about the movie at the beginning. This made Wang Zhonglei worried for a while. Now he understands that Nie Wei is obviously preparing to direct and act himself.

"How much investment do you need?" Wang Zhonglei asked again.

"It will be about 25 million to 30 million. There are several special effects shots that must be made. And I want Shu Chang to play the heroine. Although she is an actor of the company, she can't suffer a loss in salary." Nie Wei replied.

"Of course." Wang Zhonglei agreed with a smile, then picked up the script and said, "It will definitely not be released during the Lunar New Year this year. Will it be released during the summer vacation next year?"

"There is no requirement for the schedule. Everything has to be filmed first."

Both of them tacitly did not mention the censorship. After all, the content of the script of this movie is also pure. At least Wang Zhonglei did not find any part that crossed the line. In another time and space, the rating of this movie is G-level, which can be watched by all ages. Although it has been changed a little by Nie Wei, the idea of ​​pure love has not changed.

After Nie Wei returned to his office, he called Shu Chang as soon as possible.

"The movie is done."

"Oh my God!" Shu Chang's tone on the other end of the phone was full of surprise, and he immediately asked, "When will it start shooting?"

"At the latest in early October, I will directly use the crew of "Back to 20 Years Old". I just need to find the actors." Nie Wei answered easily, because the male and female protagonists have been determined, and the choice of other actors will be much greater. In this regard, Nie Wei is not worried about not finding suitable actors.

"I'm so happy. I can make a movie with you again." Shu Chang expressed her joy in an excited tone. One reason was that she could work with Nie Wei, and the other reason was that she really liked this kind of difficult role and thought that such a role was challenging.

Nie Wei also knew the girl's psychological state. This was a psychological change that would naturally occur after her acting skills could not reach a certain level, just like ordinary students think that it is enough to learn the questions in the textbook, while the top students want to challenge more difficult problems.

This mentality cannot be said to be good or bad. Challenging difficult roles is very meaningful, but sometimes actors will overestimate their own strengths, and the results will hit their self-confidence after they are not satisfied. The originally improved acting skills will stagnate or even regress rapidly.

Some actors have enough strength, but they will be confused in such repeated challenges. After all, some difficult roles often appear more in art films. Indulging in such challenges but unable to reasonably arrange the development of their own careers, they finally become pure art film actors, which is a bit tragic.

Such actors are not uncommon in China and abroad. Some stars can obviously develop better, but in the end they get lost in the pursuit of self-breakthrough. They always want to challenge more difficult roles, but forget that sometimes playing a simple role is actually better.

It is a good thing that Shu Chang has this mentality now, which proves that she has a positive pursuit of acting. As for being lost, there will be no such troubles with Nie Wei by her side. With the knowledge in his mind, Nie Wei can completely arrange roles that are both acceptable and challenging to the audience for Shu Chang within ten years, and ten years are enough to establish an actor's status in the world.

"Be patient and wait. I will notify you as soon as possible." After giving Shu Chang this guarantee, Nie Wei hung up the phone. In fact, Nie Wei himself was also very excited. It has been more than a year since his last movie. Nie Wei is also full of ambition for his return to the big screen this time.

Three days later, Alan returned from vacation, and the girl was refreshed.

I finally had time to match the beautiful clothes I bought last year. Because I got enough sleep, my dark circles were much less. In addition, I had a good time with my friends. My whole mental outlook has changed. That kind of spirit is completely different from the forced appearance.

After arriving at the company, Nie Wei immediately notified Alan to stand by, and he went to the airport with two staff members from the public relations department to receive the head of the record company who came to negotiate.

The two negotiating leaders came to China on the same flight.

This was actually Nie Wei deliberately arranged the two people at the same time. After all, whether it is Sony or Avex, they are giants in front of Huayi Records. Huayi can only fight for its own interests in the cracks, and the face-to-face competition between the two sides will undoubtedly give Huayi more opportunities.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Nie Wei met the two negotiation teams on time at the international airport.

"Hello, Mr. Nie Wei, my name is Jiro Aoki, from Sony Records."

"Hello, my name is Kumaichi Noda, nice to meet you, your "Memories of the Forbidden City" has always been my favorite music." Another negotiation leader from Avex came out to introduce himself.

"I am also very happy to meet you two, and I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Now please come with me to the hotel, everything has been arranged." Nie Wei smiled and shook hands with the two of them, and then took them to the hotel to settle down.

When the two negotiation teams were arranged, Nie Wei had already found Alan.

Then the group went to the hotel that had been booked long ago.

As the first female singer that Huayi will introduce to Japan, Aoki Jiro and Noda Kumaichi also wanted to meet her. After all, this singer will also develop under their banner in the future. When the two really met Alan, both sides said that they were very satisfied. Although Alan's singing has not been heard live, Alan's image is very consistent with the Japanese aesthetics, with big eyes, fair skin, slightly upturned lips, a well-proportioned figure, etc., and she has the temperament of an idol singer.

"I wonder how good Miss Alan's Japanese is?" Aoki Jiro, who was satisfied with Alan's image, asked first.

"I only know a few daily expressions." Alan said embarrassedly, and then she racked her brains for words and stumbled to say a self-introduction in Japanese.

Hearing Alan's Japanese, Aoki Jiro frowned for the first time today, and Noda Kumaichi's expression was not very good. With the Japanese that Alan showed so far, let alone singing, I'm afraid she won't be able to introduce herself well after going on stage. Just in the short speech just now, there were no less than three problems, not only pronunciation, but also grammar.

Just when the two were dissatisfied with Alan's Japanese, Nie Wei stood up.

"Alan is indeed still a beginner in Japanese, but she has already received intensive training in lyrics. The Japanese teacher in the company said that Alan's pronunciation of the lyrics of the new song is already good."

Nie Wei's words made the two people turn their heads and look at him.

It was Aoki Jiro who spoke first, and he looked at Nie Wei with surprise and asked: "Mr. Nie Wei, you are talking about the new song. Your company has written a new Japanese song for Alan? Which Japanese musician did you find?"

The other Noda Kumaichi looked at Nie Wei thoughtfully and didn't say anything.

"We didn't find any Japanese musicians. I wrote the Japanese song myself. I wrote the lyrics and composed the music." Nie Wei replied with a smile.

Alan, who was watching the conversation, thought that the two people would be surprised when they heard Nie Wei's words. After all, Nie Wei wrote the lyrics and composed the music. Nie Wei's works must be excellent, right?

But to Alan's surprise, Aoki Jiro frowned immediately after hearing the answer, while Noda Kumaichi continued to keep a thoughtful expression and did not show any surprise.

Thank you Jia Ran for the 500 reward, thank you 0773 for the reward support, and thank you both for your continuous and generous rewards. I am very grateful.
