Chapter 675 675. Kangxi Propaganda (Part 2)

The two hosts took good care of the young actors, but the topic was mainly focused on Nie Wei and Cheng Kun.

"Nie Wei is already an old friend of our Kangxi, but this is the first time we meet, Mr. Cheng Kun. Hello." Cai Gong greeted Cheng Kun politely.

"Hello, nice to meet you." Cheng Kun replied with a smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao S, who was standing next to him, looked like a fanatical fan and shouted, "Professor, I love you so much."

"Thank you, thank you!" Facing Xiao S's direct love, Cheng Kun was also a little overwhelmed and had to deal with it with the two words "thank you".

"I remember that when Nie Wei came last time, you said you loved him the most." Cai Gong questioned unceremoniously.

Who knew that in the face of the questioning, Xiao S remained calm and replied as a matter of course: "As long as he is a handsome guy, I like him. What do you think? Do you have any objections?"

"No, no." Cai Gong waved his hand quickly and did not argue with the crazy Xiao S.

After a while of fooling around, Mr. Cai brought the topic back on track. This time, he asked Cheng Kun, who had just been teased by Xiao S.

"We all know that Cheng Kun is a very popular actor. At the same time, he has another identity that makes me very curious. You are an actor and a regular host of a variety show, right?" Mr. Cai asked.

"Yes, the name of the show is "Infinite Challenge." As he said that, Cheng Kun also made a classic move of their Infinite Challenge team.

"I know that this show is very popular, but generally few actors are willing to get involved in variety shows, especially well-known actors like you. What opportunity made you join this hosting team?" Mr. Cai asked curiously.

Hearing this question, Cheng Kun first glanced at Nie Wei beside him. After the latter nodded slightly, he replied: "In fact, when I took this variety show, my acting career was at a low point."

"Is that so?" Mr. Cai and Xiao S both showed surprised expressions.

Nie Wei, who was standing by, also spoke up at this moment, saying, "That's true. At that time, Kun'er's contract with his original company had just expired, and he moved to Huayi. But Huayi didn't have a role suitable for him at the moment, so I suggested that he try variety shows first."

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank Nie Wei. His recommendation allowed me to join this hosting team, and gradually accumulated fame, and then I had the opportunity to star in "My Love from the Star." Cheng Kun put his arm around Nie Wei's shoulders and smiled.

Amidst the sighs, Cai Gong praised, "This is the wonder of fate. You don't have to follow one path to the end. Sometimes you take a break, or take a different path, and then new opportunities may appear."

"That's right." Cheng Kun nodded, indicating his approval.

"By the way, from what you said just now, have you known each other for a long time?" Xiao S asked curiously.

Hearing this question, Nie Wei couldn't help but smile and answered: "My first play after entering the industry was with Kun'er, and it has been more than six years." "Oh?" Hearing Nie Wei's words, everyone at the scene showed a surprised expression, even including several young actors beside Nie Wei. After being surprised for a moment, Mr. Cai hurriedly asked: "I remember that your debut work was "The Golden Age", right? Mr. Cheng Kun also starred in it?" "I did star in it, and my role at that time was the male lead played by Nie Wei later, and when I was in the crew, Nie Wei actually played the male second." Cheng Kun answered with a faint smile. This period of history, which was once the darkest in his acting career, was obviously a breeze for him. His current success can already make him face any darkness in the past with a smile. Under Mr. Cai's questioning, Cheng Kun frankly and simply talked about that not-so-good experience. Of course, the process was beautified, and there was no need to talk about the conflict between him and Nie Wei, which even involved fighting. "I think Cheng Kun was like a big kid at that time, always wanting to be the most prominent one in the crew." Nie Wei couldn't help but laugh after hearing what Cheng Kun said.

"Hey, you are obviously much younger than me, but it is true that sometimes I also feel that between me and Nie Wei, he is more like an older brother and I am more like a younger brother." Cheng Kun laughed at the end. Those things that he thought were cool and handsome at the time, now think they are just childish and funny.

"No, when I saw Cheng Kun again, I really felt that he had changed into a different person, just like a boy suddenly became a man, with shoulders to take responsibility, and matured a lot."

"So touching, professor, let me hug you." Xiao S pretended to wipe her tears and stood up to walk towards Cheng Kun. Fortunately, Cai Gong on the side pulled Xiao S in time, and she didn't succeed in her idea of ​​taking advantage.

However, after being interrupted by Xiao S, the originally somewhat depressing atmosphere was also relieved a lot.

Zhan Renxiong, who was standing among the staff, had clenched his fists at this moment, his eyes were full of excitement. He believed that if the story between Cheng Kun and Nie Wei was edited into a trailer, his program ratings would double.

Sure enough, every time Nie Wei came to Kangxi, it was a lucky day for Kangxi.

The topic soon came to Nie Wei again. Nie Wei's movie had just achieved a box office record of 400 million in the mainland. Similarly, the box office of this movie in Taiwan was also very strong. It won the box office championship of Taiwan movies for three consecutive weeks and broke the box office record of mainland movies shown in Taiwan.

"The box office of this movie is really amazing. The box office in the mainland has exceeded 400 million Chinese yuan, which is 1.8 billion if converted into Formosa currency. In Formosa, this movie has also earned 150 million yuan, ranking first in the box office of Formosa movies so far this year. Moreover, this movie has very good box office in Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, and even Europe and the United States. I have a data here." Mr. Cai sighed and took out a data board.

"This is the box office in Hong Kong, 80 million yuan, and there are also box office figures in South Korea, Japan, Europe and the United States. Add these together. The global total box office of this movie is close to 4 billion if converted into Formosa currency." At the end, Mr. Cai was shocked by this set of numbers.

"There is another data. The global total box office of "The Man from Nowhere" is basically the same as the annual box office figures of Formosa in 2005 and 2006. In other words, the box office of Nie Wei's movie is equal to the total box office of Formosa in the past two years."

"How depressed is our film industry in Formosa." Hearing this, Xiao S on the side couldn't help rolling her eyes and complaining.

Mr. Cai smiled speechlessly, then nodded in agreement and jokingly said, "It's really depressed. I heard that many directors have switched to selling tea eggs."

Amidst the laughter, Mr. Cai continued with the previous question and asked, "Nie Wei, before the movie was released, did you ever think that it would achieve such an exaggerated result?"

After Mr. Cai finished speaking, he threw the topic to Nie Wei.

"To be honest, I have thought about the movie having a good box office." Nie Wei nodded and answered seriously: "In fact, we have a special screening group at Huayi, which is composed of Huayi's directors, staff and some enthusiastic fans, representing the two views of professionals and the general public on movies."

"After the screening of "Lone Agent", everyone who watched it gave it very good reviews, and I was a little confident at that time."

"I also participated in that screening." At this time, Cheng Kun interrupted: "Generally, in such occasions, directors will say a few good words for their own films, but Nie Wei is very cool. He said two sentences after entering the room. The first sentence asked if everyone was here, and the second sentence directly told the staff that we can start."

"Are all the people here? We can start! Wow, this is really cool." Xiao S imitated it and then screamed exaggeratedly.

"Well, it's so cool. I think it's based on his confidence, because he thinks his film will definitely be popular. In fact, before we watched the film, we were just thinking about appreciating a good film. After all, Nie Wei's previous works have proved his talent." Cheng Kun smiled and explained for Nie Wei.

"Director, can you ask me to be the heroine in the next movie? I don't want any salary." After listening, Xiao S said to Nie Wei flatteringly.

Nie Wei just pretended not to hear it. Xiao S pouted her lips in anger, pulled Cai Gong's arm and complained about Nie Wei like a spoiled child.

"In other words, from the beginning you determined that this movie would break so many records?" Cai Gong continued to ask.

Faced with this question, Nie Wei smiled and shook his head.

"I admit that I have thought about this, but if you ask me if I am completely sure, I definitely say no. The Huayi evaluation team estimates that the box office of my movie is between 220 million and 300 million. There is a chance to break the record, but it is also possible that it will fall short of the record like "Your Name" before, just one step away. Of course, the final result gave me a big surprise."

"The box office data predicted by the evaluation team of your company is too far off, I think you should just fire them when you go back." After listening to this, Xiao S's brain circuit was very abnormal and she actually stared at the evaluation team mentioned by Nie Wei.

In response, Nie Wei could only smile awkwardly, saying that the data predicted by those people was still very good.

In fact, this evaluation team is a film macro market analysis team cultivated by Huayi. Estimating the box office is just one of their jobs. They will also analyze the trend of the film market, what type of film will not worry about the box office, and which stars will be the box office guarantee, and many other things like that.

If Huayi is compared to a big ship, then this group is like a compass, which will give macro suggestions, so that the captain can be happy from it, and then adjust the direction of Huayi's ship.

"Don't mind other people's company's business." After suppressing Xiao S, Cai Gong continued to ask Nie Wei: "After the movie is released, many people will call you uncle, don't you mind?"

"Why should I mind?" Nie Wei asked back with a strange face.

"You are only 23 years old, and you are called uncle by a group of girls." Cai Gong explained. Hearing this, Nie Wei laughed and said that he didn't mind at all, but was very happy.

"In fact, they call me uncle, which is a kind of affirmation of me. At least it proves that the role I interpret is deeply rooted in people's hearts. I am too happy to mind. Of course, I believe they don't know that I am an uncle from my appearance. If that were the case, I might be sad, just a little sad." Nie Wei used his index finger and thumb to make a heart shape towards the camera.

After this episode was aired, I don't know how many girls screamed in front of the TV because of Nie Wei's love, and some boyfriends who watched it with him were extremely complaining. This bastard named Nie Wei was not sad at all, he was just using sadness as an excuse to flirt with girls!

"Sure enough, you are still afraid that others will call you old, so you specially filmed an idol drama this time, right?"

"How could it be deliberate? I just had such an opportunity and I happened to be free." Nie Wei smiled and waved his hand, denying.

"What kind of role do you play in the TV series this time? I heard it's the kind of overbearing president?" Xiao S asked curiously.

"This time I play the role of the president of a chemical group, but it's not the kind of overbearing president. It's the kind of role that is a bit cute and a bit hateful." Nie Wei deliberately kept it a secret when answering.

Sure enough, after hearing it, Cai Gong immediately found the key point in Nie Wei's answer and asked, "You mean this character is cute and hateful? These are two very contradictory words."

"Indeed, this character itself is a very contradictory person." Nie Wei admitted, but just when everyone expected him to elaborate, he suddenly stopped talking and said directly: "But for the details, let's wait for tomorrow's premiere. Everyone will watch "Fated to Love You" on time, and then you will know what kind of role I played this time."

"Ah, you either say it or don't say it. I feel uncomfortable with this kind of neither." Xiao S threw the host card and couldn't help complaining.

In response, Nie Wei just smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, stop complaining. The TV series hasn't been released yet, so don't spoil too much." Cai Gong tried to smooth things over, appeased Xiao S beside him, and then continued to lead the topic to the TV series.

Later, including Nie Wei's initiative to invite Cheng Kun, and Chen Qiaoen's very "coincidental" rush to join Huayi before the TV series co-shooting, and because her identity as a girl from Taiwan matched that of the girl from Taiwan in the play, Chen Xinyi, she was lucky enough to become the heroine this time.

In addition, during the audition process of Jing Tiantian and Wang Kai, Nie Wei and others had any "quirks" in private, anyway, it was gossip that the audience was interested in, and the two hosts tried their best to dig it out. A show started recording at 7 o'clock and ended at 10:30 in the evening, a full three and a half hours, with only a ten-minute break in the middle.

When the program recording was over, Zhan Renxiong, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed into the venue, hugged and shook hands with everyone, expressing his gratitude. He had a hunch that after the content of this program was broadcast, it would definitely bring a new high to the ratings of Kangxi.

Thank you for the generous reward of 500 from Banmo God.
