Chapter 760 760. Final
The news that Shu Chang rented a cheering car to visit Nie Wei on set was reported online in the afternoon of the same day. The high-five video of the scene was circulated and recognized by many fans. It was the cheering car that they suspected was a rich fan.
The truth about the unknown rich fan that had been circulating in the fan circle for several hours finally surfaced.
"It turned out to be Shu Chang. No wonder, sister is thoughtful."
"Shu Chang actually used a cheering car to visit the set. It's so sweet. It seems that the little sister is also a fan of our brother."
"Showing affection again, showing affection again, I'm so jealous."
There are many people who like to watch this kind of affection news, especially those CP fans of Nie Wei and Shu Chang. This news really sweetened them.
Of course, there are still a very small number of people whose brain circuits are always different from ordinary people. In the eyes of others, the content of this news is sweet and happy, but in their eyes, the news is hidden behind the dirty, shameless, and these people even leave comments directly under the news report, especially about the cost of Shu Chang's car rental, and even extend to the character problem.
"Maybe she rented it with Nie Wei's money, so you have to be careful of such women."
"Women who hang out with rich men are not much better."
These prejudices were quickly refuted by Shu Chang's fans. Of course, they know more about their idols than these people who make sarcastic remarks. Besides, with the income of their idols, such words as hanging out with rich men are simply a joke.
With the strong reports of fans and the protection of the boss's wife by the bloggers, these users who made speculations were quickly banned for three to seven days, which was a small punishment and a big warning, letting them know that they would be punished for making random remarks.
And this is not abusing power for personal gain. Their words were originally unfounded slander.
The best proof is the words of a Shu Chang fan, because their idol Shu Chang's income last year ranked fifth among Chinese female stars.
Although Shu Chang did not film for a whole year last year, her commercial activities became more than in previous years because she did not film.
And because Shu Chang and Nie Wei officially dated, Shu Chang's image has been further improved. The potential star value has increased, and more and more international brands have noticed Shu Chang. The quality of the endorsement contracts signed by Shu Chang is getting higher and higher.
According to the end-of-year statistics of the authoritative magazine "Huaxia Entertainment Magazine", Shu Chang received a total of 17 endorsements last year, ranging from cars to watches, from formal wear to sportswear, from computers to games, as well as milk, food, tea, etc., with a total endorsement fee of about 35 million.
In addition, Shu Chang participated in more than 20 commercial activities throughout the year to promote those well-known clothing and jewelry, and each appearance fee was about 500,000.
In addition to Shu Chang's other scattered income from posters and other peripherals, her total income last year exceeded 50 million Chinese yuan, ranking fifth in the 2007 income list of Chinese actresses, and also second among the post-80s actresses.
The first on the list of post-80s actresses is Lin Yifei, who earned 65 million Chinese yuan last year. At the same time, with this achievement, she surpassed Taiwan's queen Cai Yiling in the total income list of actresses and ranked third on the list. Above her are the top actress Zhang Ziyi who is currently in the limelight and the international kung fu actress Yang Ziqiong in Hong Kong.
Zhang Ziyi is currently the most recognized actress in and outside the Chinese entertainment circle, and is also the most concerned female artist by international brands. Her film remuneration has also begun to catch up with international standards. This alone makes her beat 99% of domestic female stars.
Her film remuneration exceeds that of domestic female artists, and she also has many high-quality endorsements, so her annual income is also very high, reaching 85 million Chinese yuan.
As for Michelle Yeoh, she made five movies in Hollywood in one year, with more resources than Zhang Ziyi. Her film remuneration alone exceeded 80 million Chinese yuan. With some endorsements and commercial activities, her annual income directly exceeded 100 million yuan. She is also the only female star with an annual income of over 100 million yuan.
It is worth mentioning that she is also the only female star who squeezed into the top ten of the entire star income list, while the other nine positions are all firmly held by male stars.
Jet Li, who ranks first on this list, has an annual income of 235 million, which is more than double that of Michelle Yeoh, the first female star in terms of income. It can be seen that there is still a big gap in the income of male and female stars in the Chinese entertainment industry today.
As for Nie Wei, his income in previous years was ranked in the top three, but this time he only ranked 20th on this list.
Because Nie Wei only filmed one idol drama last year and did not participate in any commercial activities, if it were not for the high-level endorsements, he would have fallen out of the top 100. However, on another list of celebrity influence, Nie Wei ranked third, second only to Jet Li and Jackie Chan, who currently represent Chinese movie stars in Hollywood.
It can be seen that Nie Wei's popularity has not been affected by his temporary "slackness".
As the most popular celebrity couple in China, although it was just a small matter that Shu Chang wanted to give Nie Wei a surprise, it occupied the hot headlines for half a day, and the topic was discussed more than 10 million times.
Shu Chang no longer had a job, so he simply stayed in Nie Wei's hotel to accompany Nie Wei.
During the day, Nie Wei worked, and Shu Chang watched TV in the hotel, or went shopping with her assistant. Sometimes she would go to the set, but not often, mainly because she was afraid of disturbing Nie Wei's work. After all, her identity would always alarm a group of people every time she went to the set.
After about two weeks of such days, Shu Chang had to return to Kyoto in advance because she had to start promoting her new film "Blind Witness".
This work is still very important to Shu Chang. After all, it is a work that comes back after a year of absence. It can be said that it is highly anticipated by her fans and the media. If the movie is good, it will naturally mean that Shu Chang has returned strongly. If the performance is not good, I am afraid that Shu Chang's accumulated good reputation will disappear in an instant.
So even if she can contribute more to the movie, Shu Chang will not miss it. Moreover, this movie is written by Nie Wei, and she also hopes that this movie can sell better. Moreover, when the press conference of "Assassin's League" was held, Nie Wei made a bet with that media.
Shu Chang took a plane back to Kyoto. For a while, Nie Wei felt empty in his heart. He didn't feel anything when he came to film alone, but after living with Shu Chang for more than ten days, Nie Wei was a little uncomfortable when his wife left again.
However, in this way, Nie Wei's mind was indeed all on the filming, and the efficiency of the crew was improved for a period of time.
On Children's Day, "Assassin's League" finally completed the last shot on the green screen, and all the members celebrated the successful completion of this super production on the same day.
However, the completion of this movie does not mean that the production will be completed immediately. In fact, it has just begun, because in addition to editing and composing music, the final step is the production of post-production special effects.
And the production of special effects will also be a long process. In Nie Wei's view, it is very good that "Assassin's League" can catch up with the Lunar New Year's Day.
Although the time is long, the wait is worth it, because Nie Wei knows that when the film is completed, it will inevitably become the film with the highest level of special effects in China. The key is that the special effects technology still belongs entirely to China's special effects company.
This kind of movie with pure Chinese blood will also be a focus of publicity at that time.
On the day of the filming, Nie Wei also received a lot of congratulatory calls. The content was the same. Naturally, they all congratulated Nie Wei on the successful completion of the filming and wished him a big hit. However, there was a person who called with some special content in addition to these contents.
This person was naturally the Sunglass King who invited Nie Wei to star in "The Grandmaster".
On the phone, Sunglass King apologized to Nie Wei again, and this apology was counted. This was the third time that Sunglass King apologized to Nie Wei this year. The reason was very simple. "The Grandmaster" was going to be delayed again.
"Director, it's okay. I understand. Don't worry. I think your film will be successfully filmed. Otherwise, it would be a waste of your hard work." Nie Wei was not angry when he was told that the filming was postponed. Or rather, he had been mentally prepared for it, and he could even persuade Wang Jiawei, who was a little disappointed.
Of course, in Nie Wei's view, Wang Jiawei's film was delayed again and again, and he himself should bear a lot of responsibility.
Under the premise of guaranteed funds, Wang Jiawei will fall into a state of careful consideration when making movies, which is what the saying "slow work produces fine work" means. The key is that this work is not only slow, but he will always push back the things that have been made.
This does not mean that the one that is pushed back is bad, but Wang Jiawei may feel that it does not meet his own wishes, so he pushes it back.
This is also the reason why Wang Jiawei always loses money when he is asked to make a movie. He is too good at wasting resources to achieve his own ideas.
However, the advantage of this is that every movie of Wang Jiawei has his own clear style, like a deep mark. Even if it is not written as Wang Jiawei's directorial work, the audience can guess it almost at once.
And if people watch Wang Jiawei's movies carefully, they will find that his movies always tell stories in a scattered way, focusing on ideas rather than plots.
On the contrary, every character in the movie is very distinctive and vivid, with his own social identity background and ideas. It is not a mask-like character, and each one is very vivid.
This is why actors always like to work with Wang Jiawei, because the characters he directs are outstanding.
In short, after this phone call, "The Grandmaster" may not start shooting until August, and the specific arrangement of Nie Wei's role will be negotiated at that time.
Nie Wei doesn't care when "The Grandmaster" can be filmed. For this movie, he is just a friendly guest actor. It's just that he has more roles as a guest actor, and the salary is also a little higher.
Nie Wei is currently busy with the post-production work of "Assassin's League", mainly editing. The first version must be cut out as soon as possible for review, and the special effects company must also produce special effects based on the version edited by Nie Wei. On the contrary, there is plenty of time to think about the soundtrack work.
It took about ten days for Nie Wei to cut out a formal version and then formally submitted it for review. In addition, Nie Wei also specially cut an overseas version, cutting in all the violent scenes that are not used in China, and leaving them for overseas release.
In Nie Wei's eyes, the overseas version is actually the complete version of the movie. The domestic version can only be considered an abridged version. However, there is no way around it. Due to domestic film policy reasons, unlike overseas, even if violent scenes are cut in, the most that can be done is to make concessions in the ratings.
Nie Wei didn't have much hope for the rating of this movie, and the movie is indeed targeted at adults over 18 years old.
While Nie Wei was working hard, Shu Chang was also busy running activities.
The review of "Blind Certificate" has passed, and now it has entered the official promotion period. Two promotional videos have been released. As for the promotional posters, they have also been published in two editions. Nie Wei called Shu Chang It is understood that there will be a promotional video and posters to be released before the movie is released.
The film's schedule is also being negotiated with major theater chains, among which Fanxing Cinema Chain, of course, has given the best conditions. After all, this is Nie Wei's own theater chain, and of course it must provide the maximum for its own movies. Help, the other theater chains have actually given good conditions, basically first-line treatment. After all, the quality of the movie itself is very good, and theater managers who have watched the movie have given it high praise.
Furthermore, this movie is written by Nie Wei, and it is Shu Chang's comeback after a year of silence. Coupled with the cooperation of the popular niche actor Jing Boran, and the powerful actor Huang Xiaoming's debut as a villain, theater managers are worried about the movie. Very promising.
What is certain is that when this movie is released, the film schedule will definitely not be less than 40%. As for what is being fought for now, it is more about the timing of the shows, which is also a critical factor for the movie's box office.
The time has arrived in late June before you know it, and there is less than half a month left before the release of "Blind Witness". Nie Wei is free at this time. The editing has been completed and the soundtrack is not in a hurry. He works every day In addition to handling company affairs, my job is to listen to reports from the special effects company at any time.
However, Nie Wei, who was free, soon attracted the attention of others. This person was Xie Haiyang, the director of "Blind Witness".
Director Xie is young, just over thirty-five years old. He can be said to be a young man in the director's field. He is also one of the directors that Huayi focuses on training. He is very good at thriller and suspense-themed movies.
Although he has some works before, there is no doubt that "Blind Witness" is the film with the most investment and the most shining stars that he has directed so far. This gives him great expectations and also puts a lot of pressure on him. He is very Worried, what if the work does not perform well and he changes it?
So for this movie, he can be said to be the most caring people on the crew.
During a promotional event, he accidentally learned from Shu Chang that Nie Wei was very free recently, and he immediately had the idea to ask Nie Wei to help promote the movie. After all, Nie Wei was also the screenwriter of the movie. Considered a member of the crew.
After having this idea, he immediately found Shu Chang, because he knew that it would be most appropriate to talk about this kind of thing without Shu Chang's consent.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Shu Chang said after hearing Director Xie Haiyang's suggestion, he clapped his hands happily.
Seeing that Shu Chang seemed to agree with his suggestion, Director Xie Haiyang immediately encouraged Shu Chang to ask Nie Weitong if he disagreed as soon as possible.
