Chapter 432 432. Visiting the Set of
Negotiations cannot be concluded in a day or two, especially such competitive negotiations. After a full week, when the conditions given by both parties had basically reached the limit, Nie Wei still chose Avex.
The representative of Sony expressed regret and left Huaxia, while Noda Kumaichi continued to stay in Kyoto to further discuss the details of the contract.
The reason why Nie Wei chose Avex was, on the one hand, because of the other party's sincerity. From the beginning to the end, Noda Kumaichi expressed his attention to Huayi Records and Alan, and on the other hand, because of the scale of Avex.
Although the scale of Avex is much larger than that of Huayi Records, compared with the super multinational group like Sony, the scale of Avex is still something that Huayi Records can catch up with within a certain period of time. After all, the closer the scale of the two parties is, the more voice they have. Huayi Records will not be able to cultivate Alan as a singer in the future. After all, if they want to export more artists, then it is necessary to get some or even the main voice.
During the negotiations, Nie Wei also put forward a request, which is to participate in the establishment of the new company as an individual.
There are two reasons for doing this. The first is to fight for shares, but Huayi can't afford too much money at present, so some external funds must be involved, and Nie Wei became the most suitable candidate.
On the other hand, this is also an investment that Nie Wei hopes for. Although the Japanese record market will be hit by the Internet in the next few years, Nie Wei is confident that under his leadership, even in a sluggish market, he can carve out a niche. At that time, the value of the company will naturally rise, and his investment will also rise with it.
Both Avex and Huayi Records are happy to see Nie Wei's personal participation. Huayi Records needs Nie Wei's financial resources, and Avex hopes to get Nie Wei's talent, so both parties easily passed Nie Wei's proposal.
In the end, Avex will invest 1 billion yen to hold 50% of the shares of the new company, while Huayi will use Alan's agency contract and 400 million yen to hold 25% of the shares, and Nie Wei will invest 500 million yen, also holding 25% of the shares.
The company's headquarters will be set up in Japan. Specifically, Huayi Records and Avex will jointly dispatch staff. Of course, Avex will be the main one, as that is their base camp. Huayi's staff will mainly be responsible for the daily life of the artists and some financial supervisors.
And Nie Wei has undoubtedly become the music director of the new company.
Nie Wei has no pressure on funding, but it will take a process to set up a company, and Alan is also learning Japanese. It will undoubtedly take a long time for the new company's affairs to be officially launched.
Nie Wei is now mainly responsible for the preparation of the movie "Your Name". The crew is easy to solve, and the crew of "Back to 20" can be used directly. The other supporting roles are also being slowly selected. At present, the most important thing is the location of the filming. Nie Wei prefers the Jiangnan area, but he has no accurate idea of where to choose, so now a large number of staff are sent to film all over the country.
And Nie Wei's most important job every day is to look at the photos fed back by the staff with Shu Chang, and then screen them one by one to pick out the places that both he and Shu Chang are satisfied with.
Occasionally, Nie Wei will go to school, and he met Yang Mi once in the middle.
This girl has now become a fanatic of League of Legends. Now that the first season of this game is about to end, Nie Wei also curiously asked about the girl's rank.
"Brother, I'm not bragging to you. I have reached Platinum 1 by my own ability, and I have reached Diamond 2 times. If my teammates were not too stupid, I would have been a Diamond player long ago." Yang Mi mentioned her current rank with a proud look on her face.
However, Nie Wei thought that Yang Mi was not too proud. Girls who can reach Platinum 1 are definitely rare creatures now. However, Yang Mi's ability to reach such a high rank is also related to Nie Wei. He has privately revealed to Yang Mi about the changes of heroes. This girl can always learn about the changes of heroes in advance of other players, so every time there is a change, she can always quickly get started with powerful heroes to gain points, and Nie Wei also taught her some routines to gain points, which is a great help.
"Brother, let me ask you something. I heard that the professional league of "League of Legends" will be launched next year?" Yang Mi asked curiously.
"That's right. Not only the Chinese division, but also South Korea, Taiwan, the United States and Europe. In addition, other countries have also signed up, but because the local promotion has not been done well, they have not been introduced for the time being." With Yang Mi's surprised face, Nie Wei replied.
"With so many divisions, do we have to play like the World Cup in the end?"
"Yes, there will be a global finals every year. A certain number of teams will be selected according to the development level of each division, and then they will gather together to decide an annual champion. We have even prepared the prize money for the event. The champions of each division league will have a reward of one million US dollars, and the team that wins the annual finals will also have a prize of five million US dollars. The runner-up and the top four will also have prizes. The upcoming League of Legends Professional League is definitely the highest reward of all e-sports events now!"
Yang Mi's eyes turned red when she heard this. How much money is this? A team of five people, if the amount is five million, then each person can get one million, or in US dollars. If you add the league rewards, you can create a bunch of millionaires in an instant. E-sports competitions are so profitable.
Unfortunately, the little girl woke up quickly and knew that she could only envy and envy. Her current strength can only be barely considered a master among ordinary people, but she is definitely not as good as those top gods. She is definitely not qualified to be a professional player.
"If you are interested, I will get you a few tickets for the annual finals. The first finals will definitely be held in China." Nie Wei said with a smile, which made Yang Mi wipe out the regretful mood in her heart just now, and she laughed happily.
Such a leisurely day allowed Nie Wei to rest well, but someone was not right to let Nie Wei rest for too long. When he heard that Nie Wei was free, he immediately ran to the company to find Nie Wei.
This person is Shang Jing who is filming "Wulin Wai Zhuan".
When he came to Nie Wei's office, Shu Chang was also there, looking at photos on a laptop with Nie Wei on the sofa. Shang Jing was stunned for a moment when he walked in, but seeing that the two were neatly dressed and had laptops in front of them, he knew that what he had just thought of was definitely overthinking.
"Work, Mr. Nie." Shang Jing greeted with a smile, and did not forget Shu Chang beside him, and politely said hello.
"Work on the location shooting of the new movie." Nie Wei then explained, and then asked Shang Jing: "Director Shang, is there anything?"
"Indeed, there is something." Shang Jing rubbed his hands and answered embarrassedly.
"Does the crew need any equipment, or do you want to find another actor to guest star? If the former, go to the General Affairs Department, and if the latter, go to the Agency Department, both are better than me." Nie Wei said with a smile.
However, after hearing what Nie Wei said, Shang Jing shook his head vigorously: "Those two departments are not good, this matter can only be solved by you, Mr. Nie."
"Hehe, you say, I'll listen."
"I want to ask you to come to our new drama to play a guest role, what do you think?" Shang Jing finally said the purpose of coming today, which was to find Nie Wei to come to his new TV series to play a guest role.
To date, "Wulin Wai Zhuan" has been filmed for more than ten episodes, and there are many stars who come to guest star. Basically, all the big names that Huayi can invite have been called, such as Li Binbin, Fan Binbin, Huang Xiaoming, Ren Quan, and even Cheng Kun, who is still filming a variety show over there, was arranged by Nie Wei to join the crew to play a guest role in one episode.
"Is it the TV series that I heard is very interesting?" Before Nie Wei answered, Shu Chang suddenly interrupted and asked.
"Yes, it's the script written by Nie Wei. It's a combination of martial arts and sitcoms. If you are interested, Miss Shu Chang, please come and make a cameo appearance. I'll arrange a role for you as a female hero." Shang Jing was immediately excited when he saw Shu Chang's interest, and he quickly promoted her.
He also thought that if Nie Wei didn't agree, it would be worth it to persuade Shu Chang to make a cameo appearance. After all, Shu Chang's "Speeding Scandal" at the beginning of the year made this girl really popular, and she directly entered the ranks of first-line actresses. Such popularity would be a good publicity point for the crew.
Shu Chang didn't agree immediately, but looked at Nie Wei first.
"If you like it, go and make a cameo appearance. It just so happens that you haven't filmed a sitcom yet, so you can experience it once." Seeing Shu Chang's inquiring eyes and Director Shang Jing's expectant eyes, Nie Wei smiled and agreed.
"Okay, let's go to the crew to visit together? And make a cameo appearance by the way." Shu Chang smiled and said.
Nie Wei didn't expect Shu Chang to drag him into the water, but it's nothing to make a guest appearance in a scene. Besides, he should go to the set to visit. After all, as the initiator of this TV series, he hasn't been to the crew once. If he doesn't visit the crew after the filming is finished, it will be too outrageous.
At this time, Shang Jing on the side was so happy that he couldn't speak. He invited Nie Wei and thought it was impossible. He didn't expect Shu Chang to be interested. Then Shu Chang persuaded Nie Wei. The two of them were obviously going to guest-star in his new TV series together. This was really a pie in the sky, a great thing.
"Then it's settled. It's the day after tomorrow. I'll call you then. Be sure to leave time for me." After saying that, Shang Jing ran away impatiently, as if he was afraid that Nie Wei would regret it the next second.
Of course, Nie Wei would not run away. He would naturally abide by what he promised. On the day of the appointment, Nie Wei specially bought some drinks and fruits and went to the Feilong Film and Television Base, 70 kilometers away from Kyoto, which was the filming location of "Wulin Wai Zhuan".
This film and television base is located in Tianyun Mountain Scenic Area. It is not big. Nie Wei once came here with the crew to shoot a play. It was a few scenes in "Tianlong Babu". Although this scenic area is not big, it is well-equipped. There are all kinds of food, drink and entertainment. The scenery next to it is also very beautiful, just like the filming place of "Wulin Wai Zhuan". Not far behind is an especially beautiful green mountain.
Nie Wei quickly found the place where the crew was under the guidance of a scenic area staff. Judging from the situation on the scene, they should still be setting up the scene, because he saw many staff members moving props into the inn.
"Mr. Nie! Sister Shu Chang." When Nie Wei and Shu Chang got closer, they were immediately recognized by the sharp-eyed staff. As long as one person discovered it, the whole crew soon knew that Nie Wei and Shu Chang came to visit.
"I brought drinks and fruits for everyone." Nie Wei asked several staff members to help distribute the things to everyone, and he went to find Shang Jing with a fruit basket.
In just a few steps, Nie Wei also saw many familiar faces, such as Sha Yi, who played Lao Bai, and Yan Ni, the charming proprietress, Sha Sha, the little devil in the play, and Yao Chen, the big mouth Guo Furong, and Yu Entai, the downtrodden scholar. Of course, the most conspicuous one is Jiang Chao, who plays Li Dazui. It's hard not to notice his body.
These actors were also curiously watching Nie Wei come in, but they didn't rush to say hello. At this time, Shang Jing, as the director, also got the news and stood up to greet Nie Wei.
"It's okay that people are here, why bring a fruit basket." Although he said so, Shang Jing was not polite in his hands and took the fruit basket handed over by Nie Wei without hesitation.
"I heard from people in the company that you squeeze juice every day, so I was thinking of bringing you some." Nie Wei said with a smile. What he said was not groundless. The fact that Shang Jing squeezed juice every day was really spread all over the company, and it had become a label for Shang Jing.
Shang Jing did not refute it. He did have the habit of drinking juice. After all, he was old and pursued health. If he was 20 years younger, he would not bother with this. It would be more refreshing to drink Coke.
After putting the fruit basket away, Shang Jing took Nie Wei and Shu Chang to introduce the actors of the crew to them.
"You don't need to tell me, I know. This is Bai Zhantang, who plays the role of the thief in the TV series, right? Your name is Sha Yi, or the handsome Hu in "Story of the Kitchen Class"."
"Yes, it's me." Sha Yi replied with surprise. He really didn't expect that Nie Wei could actually call out his name and even his works.
"What about this one?" Shang Jing deliberately pointed to Yao Chen, who was less famous, obviously wanting to make things difficult for Nie Wei.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that among these actors, the Weibo queen would be the most popular in the future. How could Nie Wei not know this? He immediately called out Yao Chen's name.
"And I also know that Yao Chen and Mr. Yu Entai also starred in "Urban Men and Women" directed by you. She played Su Qingqing, and Yu Entai played Li Tom. By the way, Sha Yi also played a role in this TV series." Nie Wei looked at Shang Jing proudly. This question was like asking himself, it was just a joke.
"Sure." Shang Jing was also surprised. His "Urban Men and Women" had a mediocre performance, which was really not known by ordinary people.
Nie Wei's ability to give such a detailed answer really made everyone present look at him sideways.
Thank you Jia Ran for the generous reward of 500, and thank you for your likes and support.
