Chapter 744 744. Suspicious Person (Part 1)
Huayi Group’s holiday is usually until the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. After the fifth day, the company will officially go back to work on the sixth day.
However, employees who just celebrated the New Year generally do not seem very active when they first go to work. Even on the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, when Nie Wei arrived at the company, he still saw many staff members looking lazy.
This is a disease, and it should be treated. However, Wang Zhonglei will naturally treat this disease, as he is responsible for the new crew.
When Nie Wei arrived at the conference room, all the main creators of the new crew were already there, including Chen Daoming, who played the villain, and Zhang Hanyu, who played the protagonist’s father in the film, and of course the heroine Li Binbin.
In addition, there are several main actors who play the killer, among whom the muscular Jin Song is particularly eye-catching.
In terms of height, he is the tallest person besides Nie Wei, but Nie Wei is thin, but this actor named Jin Song is very muscular, just like those muscular bodybuilding coaches in the gym, plus he has a face that is intimidating without anger, which is why Nie Wei chose him to play the role of the butcher in the new film.
Because just from this appearance, Jin Song's sturdy temperament is undoubtedly revealed.
Of course, don't take it for granted that Jin Song's personality will also be that kind of carefree because of his sturdy personality. In fact, he is definitely a bold and careful person, and very smart. For example, when Nie Wei just entered the room, he was the one who reacted the fastest and was the first to stand up and greet Nie Wei. It can be said that he left a very good impression on Nie Wei as soon as they met.
"Hello everyone, I called everyone together today. There are a few things." Nie Wei stood in the main seat and said directly to the actors present after entering the room without saying anything.
After hearing what Nie Wei said, everyone, including Chen Daoming, looked serious.
"First, everyone knows that this is an action movie, so everyone present needs a one-month training. I think everyone has seen this statement when the invitation was issued. Now that everyone is sitting here, I think everyone should be able to cooperate in terms of time. If you have special circumstances, please raise your hands now."
After Nie Wei finished speaking, he waited for about five seconds. Seeing that no one raised their hands, he continued: "The training location is in Kyoto. The teacher is a Sanda coach from a martial arts school. In addition to Teacher Chen, the others may have flexibility requirements, so be mentally prepared." At this point, Nie Wei suddenly turned his eyes to Li Binbin and said with a smile: "You can ask Sister Binbin, she has been training for two months and has a deep understanding."
"Don't mention it, I don't want to think about it." Li Binbin was slightly stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted. He immediately opened his mouth to cooperate with Nie Wei's words, and made a very distressed expression. There was also a chuckle in the conference room.
In fact, without Nie Wei's words, all the actors present knew that this kind of action film is of course indispensable to action scenes. Except for the role played by Chen Daoming, which is always a think tank type and has no fighting scenes, all others, including the protagonist, have physical combat scenes.
In order to make the action look good, things like stretching are obviously indispensable. As for another way, it is to find a stuntman, but looking at Nie Wei's posture, it is obvious that he does not want the actors to use more stunts, so everyone has to save face. Naturally, it is not good to play special in this situation, and no one is stupid enough to play special in this crew, because everyone knows that this is not the kind of movie that can't be done without you. If you play special to make Nie Wei lively, if you are expelled from the crew by him, it will be a big joke.
At that time, not only will you lose the opportunity, but you will also become a laughing stock in the circle. Even if the reason for the expulsion is exposed, it will affect your career. After all, not many netizens like an unprofessional actor.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, they don't want to offend Nie Wei.
You should know that Nie Wei is not just a director. He is also a major shareholder of the largest entertainment company in China. In addition, he is also the owner of the rapidly developing Fanxing Cinema Line in China.
This cinema line was not very prominent in the first two years, and few people even linked him to Nie Wei. However, in the past year, the rise of Fanxing Cinema Line has suddenly accelerated, as if it had taken off a rocket. In just one year, this cinema line has built more than 30 directly affiliated cinemas in major first-tier and second-tier cities across the country.
In addition, the cinema line has also developed nearly 120 franchised cinemas. By absorbing and developing so many cinemas, the number of screens in Fanxing Cinema Line has directly exceeded 1,500.
This is not the most eye-catching. There is another data that is scary enough. That is, among the 62 directly affiliated cinemas under Fanxing Cinema Line, a full 40 are all large cinemas with more than 10 halls, and the remaining 22 directly affiliated cinemas, the smallest one has 6 halls.
Moreover, the services and supporting facilities of these cinemas are very good. In the cinema rating of a magazine last year, among the top ten cinemas in China, four of them were selected under Fanxing Cinema.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the service of Fanxing Cinema is the best among domestic cinemas.
In fact, it is true. On a certain review website, the average score of all directly affiliated cinemas and franchised cinemas under Fanxing Cinema is as high as 4.66 points out of a full score of 5 points. Among the 62 directly affiliated cinemas under Fanxing Cinema, 20 of them scored above 4.9, and there were as many as 59 cinemas with a score of 4.5 or above.
Among all the theaters under Fanxing, the lowest score is 3.52, which is much higher than the overall average score of 3.12 points for the theater chain.
All of this naturally stems from a reward and punishment system within Fanxing Cinemas. When Nie Wei established the cinema, he regarded "providing the best quality service to the audience" as the company's core concept. In Nie Wei's view, cinemas do The best is service, giving the audience a refreshing and convenient viewing environment, and treating them like home, then they will naturally come back again.
Of course, this also invisibly increased the operating costs, which is why the theater chain has been unable to develop in the past two years. It was not until Nie Wei's assets soared and the theater chain gradually gained reputation and fame that Nie Wei began to increase With heavy investment, Fanxing Cinemas has also ushered in rapid development.
At present, the number of screens of Fanxing Cinemas has jumped to the fourth among national cinemas. Nie Wei’s goal is to have Fanxing Cinemas enter the top three domestic cinemas in terms of number of screens in 2008, and then make a five-year plan. Plan and strive to compete with Wanda for the first place.
This is a long-term and difficult goal, but Nie Wei is still very confident to achieve it.
After talking about the training, Nie Wei also wanted to mention the second thing of the day. But before mentioning it, he waved to Luo Kai, who had been waiting for a long time. When the other party saw Nie Wei's actions, he immediately understood, He quickly took out a large stack of scripts from the briefcase he was holding and handed them to each actor.
"Shot script?" Chen Daoming was the first to receive the script. When he opened it, his eyes couldn't help but widen slightly. He raised his head and looked at Nie Weiwei in surprise.
Many directors can draw shot scripts, but there are not many directors like Nie Wei who have drawn almost all the shot scripts of the entire movie. Although Chen Daoming has not read the entire shot script, but just from the thickness of this shot script, He just knew the movie was included.
The other actors who received the split-shot scripts also looked surprised. After all, such a thick stack of split-shot scripts was definitely a tedious and tiring job. However, with this script, everyone felt at ease again, because with this In a split-shot script, actors at least know how to perform in order to show the scene that the director wants. As for re-creating on this basis, that is something that needs to be discussed with the director on set.
"This is the script of this movie. I hope everyone can go back and read it carefully. When we officially start shooting in a month, everyone who has read this script will have a clear understanding of it. This is also the second thing I want to talk about today. Something.”
"Director Nie is interested." Chen Daoming suddenly said. The split-shot script provided by Nie Wei made Chen Daoming impressed by Nie Wei's professionalism.
At this moment, he finally felt that Nie Wei's success was not only due to luck and talent, but also the hard work behind him that many people could not match. For a person who is both talented and blessed by luck and works hard, success seems to be natural. .
Nie Wei smiled and nodded to Chen Daoming, and then went on to talk about the last thing of the day.
"As for the last thing, it's very simple. I just want to tell everyone that I have great ambitions. This movie is not to compete for the first place in the country or to compete for box office records, but I want to take it abroad and let those Foreigners can see that we in China can also make wonderful movies.”
"Well said." All the actors on the scene were excited by Nie Wei's words. After all, they are willing to join this movie and even be a supporting role. Don't they just hope to go global through this movie? Nie Wei's words It got to their hearts.
The meeting ended in less than an hour. Then Nie Wei arranged for everyone to have a dinner at a well-known hotel in Kyoto. The meal took nearly three hours. During this period, several actors drank too much. Fortunately, the manager Bian had anticipated this situation a long time ago. Everyone just ate and didn't drink. It was just the right time for them to drive their artists home.
Nie Wei drank less today. She drank two small glasses of liquor in total, less than two taels. Even the actress Li Binbin drank more than Nie Wei.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that no one of the actors present dared to force Nie Wei to drink. Everyone could see that Nie Wei did not like drinking very much, so when toasting, Nie Wei had no choice but to play tricks. You must know that after one round of toasting, , except for Nie Wei who drank the first glass of wine first as a sign of respect, Nie Wei only took a sip from the rest of the drinks, not even bothering to moisten his lips. After a round, he didn't even drink a third of the wine glass.
Of course, on the surface, Nie Wei looked like he had drunk a lot, and his face and nose were red. In fact, it was just because he blushed when he was exposed to alcohol.
Nie Wei was going home, and Li Binbin happened to be on the way. She also lived in the celebrity community built by Nie Wei, so she decided to take Nie Wei's nanny car.
"Brother Luo Kai is so attentive." As soon as Li Binbin got in the car and felt the appropriate temperature in the car, he immediately praised Luo Kai, who was sitting in the driver's seat in front of him.
"That's all I can do." Luo Kai, who was in the front row, responded with a smile.
"You're being modest, aren't you." Li Binbin said, "If my sister was as careful as you, she wouldn't have caught a cold a while ago. By the way, speaking of which, Nie Wei, is your sister feeling better?"
"I've been fine for a long time. I got out of bed the next day and was jumping around. I even wanted to go out for a snowball fight, but my mother gave me a lesson before I became honest." Nie Wei didn't mind sharing Shu Chang's embarrassing story with Li Binbin.
After chatting for a while, Li Binbin suddenly asked Nie Wei: "Nie Wei, do you think I can succeed this time?"
Nie Wei was stunned, and then he understood what Li Binbin said.
The other party's development has reached a bottleneck period, which is a well-known fact among many people in the circle, and Nie Wei's new movie is also the best opportunity for Li Binbin to seek a breakthrough. She is not worried that Nie Wei's movie will not be well made, but she is afraid that she will not act well and waste the opportunity.
"Don't worry, sister, I have seen your performance, absolutely no problem, and do you think I will be the kind of person who chooses the heroine casually? Since you have chosen me, then I recognize your ability and believe in my vision." Nie Wei comforted Li Binbin, and tried to sound more relaxed, so that Li Binbin could have greater confidence.
"That's right, I don't believe in myself, but can I not believe in our great director Nie?" Li Binbin smiled and said, what she wanted was Nie Wei to give her this affirmative answer, so that she could face this role with more confidence.
The car drove to the community quickly. Many reporters at the gate recognized that it was Nie Wei's nanny car. They stretched their necks to look into the car, although they knew that the nanny car had the curtains drawn and they could not see anything.
The nanny car of Li Binbin, which followed Nie Wei's car, was also quickly recognized by the paparazzi. The two cars entered the community one after another, and the paparazzi immediately caught a piece of news. It was obvious that the two came back together, and the only thing that could connect the two people recently was naturally the new movie.
This point was obviously worth making a news story for these reporters.
After Nie Wei and Li Binbin said goodbye downstairs and were about to go home, the phone of a bodyguard who followed him suddenly rang, which attracted Nie Wei's attention.
At Nie Wei's signal, the bodyguard answered the phone on the spot. A few seconds later, the bodyguard's face changed, and then he immediately reported to Nie Wei on the side: "Mr. Nie, the person who followed Shu Chang before appeared again, near the community."
Hearing this news, Nie Wei frowned subconsciously. What is this person's purpose?
Thanks to Fantasy Park, 0773, and Mr. Anderson for their generous rewards.
