Chapter 801 801. Nie Wei returns to his country

A super production company like Huayi is fully capable of easily producing three dramas at the same time, so when Wang Zhonglei took out three novels, it gave everyone a very clear signal that these three novels all had a chance to start working.

The first to get the news were naturally Huayi's artists, such as big-name artists such as Fan Binbin, Cheng Kun, and Huang Xiaoming. Basically, someone had already revealed the news to them halfway through the meeting.

And small stars like Zhao Liying actually got the news not much later.

However, just knowing the news is not enough. There are nearly 200 artists under Huayi alone. In addition to singers and variety show artists, there are nearly 100 actors.

Among these nearly 100 actors, excluding those senior predecessors who are too young or too old, there are also half a hundred actors who fit the image of the characters in the three novels.

Even if the three novels are started at the same time, the main roles can be counted, not to mention that these roles may not necessarily fall on Huayi's artists. After all, many artists and stars outside are also eager for Huayi's TV series, and there are many big stars among them. Huayi sometimes chooses to cooperate with those popular stars outside.

So it seems that there are many opportunities, but the intensity of competition is still quite fierce.

Especially the "Ghost Blowing Light" series of movies, which has basically been confirmed, has made all the big-name artists in the company excited after receiving the news.

The role of Shirley Yang that Fan Binbin is interested in is of course also liked by other stars, such as Zhou Xun, whose contract is about to expire.

Because of the rise of Fan Binbin and Li Binbin, Zhou Xun also feels a lot of pressure at Huayi, especially Li Binbin, who is now the heroine of a movie with a box office of more than 1 billion in the mainland, and the movie has achieved such excellent results in Hollywood, which makes Zhou Xun feel that her position as the number one sister of Huayi is in jeopardy.

So she must use a movie to prove herself.

Huayi's resources have always been the best in China, and there is never a lack of excellent or even top resources, but the more top resources there are, the more people will naturally compete for them.

For example, within the company, Zhou Xun not only has to face the pressure from Li Binbin and Fan Binbin, but even female artists such as Dong Xuan, Jiang Xin, and Lin Shishi cannot be underestimated. Just like the previous "Assassin's League", she has also fought for it, but in the end the role still fell into Li Binbin's hands.

So facing the role of Shirley Yang in the "Ghost Blowing Light" series of movies this time, Zhou Xun has decided to burn her boats and make a last-ditch effort.

"Brother, I have decided that I must get the opportunity of "Ghost Blowing Light" this time, even if I have to do it at all costs. You know, this movie has been approved by the company, and it will be a series. Whoever can play this role can at least be popular for ten years with this movie." Zhou Xun and her agent Hong Yixin expressed their true thoughts.

After all, facing the closest partner in work and life, Zhou Xun really has no intention of hiding her inner desires. After all, what she has to do now is that the only person she can trust and talk to sincerely is this agent.

"But I heard that Mr. Zhao from the company just went out. It is said that he was invited to dinner by Fan Binbin's agent. There are many actresses in the company who seem to be interested in this movie. The key is the American one. I don't know if she will come back." Hong Yixin said worriedly.

For movies like this, Hong Yixin is not worried about the actors outside, because the company can't find an artist who is not from the company to shoot this series of movies. The risk is too uncontrollable.

After all, if the other party doesn't shoot, then they must face the problem of changing roles, which will affect the audience's sense of substitution.

And this kind of influence will even have a very bad impact on the performance of the movie itself. This has been proven by countless series of works, such as "Home with Children". The ratings of the first and second seasons shot by the whole team were very good, but the performance of the third season after Xiaoxue was replaced instantly dropped a lot.

The reason is that Yang Zi, who played Xiaoxue before, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Those old audiences can't accept the new Xiaoxue. Although they still play a loving family, in the eyes of the audience, the new Xiaoxue is like a stepdaughter. No matter how you look at it, it feels incompatible with that family.

There are many similar cases, such as "Love Apartment". After five seasons, the audience even has feelings for the supporting roles of the opposing sides. When they heard the news that a certain protagonist was to be replaced, the audience's protest was like a heavy snowfall flying all over the Weibo of the creators.

If every episode of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is made into a movie, then this series is likely to make a full eight movies, which will definitely not be completed within one or two years, and it is even possible to make eight or ten years.

So the company will definitely use its own actors, and within the company, the only ones who can really threaten Zhou Xun are Fan Binbin and Li Binbin, especially Li Binbin in the United States. The momentum is too strong recently. In addition, the other party is lucky to open up his popularity in the United States. If this series of movies is also to be promoted to the world, then Li Binbin's advantage is too great.

"I know that the competition for this role is very fierce. It is not something we can get by just touching our upper lips and saying a few words, so my idea is, can we make a fuss about the contract." Zhou Xun said her true intention.

"But will President Wang and others think that we are threatening the company?" Hong Yixin was somewhat tempted by Zhou Xun's proposal, but also a little worried.

Zhou Xun seemed to have known that Hong Yixin would say such a thing, so she smiled confidently and said, "It's okay, you can bring it up tactfully when the time comes. In addition, I am willing to sign a ten-year contract with the company as long as they give me this series of movies."

When she said "ten-year contract", Zhou Xun's eyes were full of determination, as if she was determined to succeed.

You should know that big stars like her have always signed contracts for three years. Five years is considered a long contract, let alone ten years.

Although Zhou Xun still looks like a girl in her twenties and is still called an elf-like girl by the media, she is already 35 years old this year. If she signs for another ten years, it means that she has thrown all the best time of her life to Huayi, which can be said to be a gamble on her acting career.

Hong Yixin stared at Zhou Xun for a long time, as if he wanted to see if she was joking, but the girl's firmness and determination made him unable to see the slightest hint of joking. After a while, he nodded vigorously and promised: "Okay, I understand, I will definitely help you negotiate."

"Brother Hong, I believe you." Zhou Xun's words put Hong Yixin under a lot of pressure. After all, Zhou Xun is now betting everything, but even so, Hong Yixin is really not completely sure. After all, this is not the precarious Huayi when Zhou Xun first entered the company. The current Huayi can definitely be said to be full of talents.

"Brother Xun, don't say that your brother is bad, but have you thought about what we should do if we fail to win the role this time?" Hong Yixin asked tentatively.

Zhou Xun was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he said: "Then I will not renew my contract with Huayi."

Hearing Zhou Xun's big dark, Hong Yixin was stunned for a moment, obviously surprised by Zhou Xun's other decision. After all, Huayi is now the best agency in China. If she leaves here, although Zhou Xun's popularity and status in the circle will definitely not lack a new home, which agency can compare with Huayi?

However, Hong Yixin did not persuade anything. Now this is just a hypothesis. If Huayi is willing to give Zhou Xun the role of Shirley Yang, then Zhou Xun is likely to stay in Huayi for at least another ten years in the future.

It's just how to express Zhou Xun's thoughts tactfully without letting the company think that Zhou Xun is threatening them with the contract. This requires careful thinking. Hong Yixin quickly said goodbye because he wanted to go home and said he was quitting.

Although there are many people who covet the "Ghost Blowing Light" series of movies, there are also many who are self-aware, such as Jing Boran. Although he also asked his agent to ask about the movie, he was not going for the male lead, but just wanted to ask if there were any wonderful supporting roles.

In addition, he is actually more concerned about the other two works that are to be adapted into TV series.

After all, he has a greater chance of becoming the protagonist in these two works, especially Zhu Xian, where the male protagonist's adult age is very similar to his. Whether it is Zhang Xiaofan or Lin Jingyu, he feels that he can do it.

Zheng Shuang has similar ideas as him. This leader of the third generation of actresses in Huayi has never thought about playing "Ghost Blowing Light" from the beginning. She also set her sights on "Zhu Xian" and listened to the advice of her agent. She is determined to win the role of Bi Yao and is working hard.

There are also people like Lin Shishi who are also very interested in "Zhu Xian".

As for "Nirvana in Fire", due to the role positioning in the film, more second-generation actresses within Huayi are competing for it. Dong Xuan and Jiang Xin are very interested in the roles.

Huang Xiaoming also expressed his desire to star in this work. Of course, he is unwilling to give up the male lead of "Ghost Blowing Light", but he is aware that he may not be able to compete with Cheng Kun, so he wants to find another insurance for himself.

Of course, in addition to the implicit competition between the actors, the online drama department has not given up the competition with the TV drama production department for the right to shoot the works.

Lin Xiang is really eager for the shooting rights of these works. Now the department where he works has most of its powers overlap with the TV drama production department, so it is also oppressed by the other party in the company. After all, in the eyes of the TV drama department, this so-called online drama department is here to steal their jobs.

So Lin Xiang urgently needs a work that can make the staff of the online drama production department stand up, otherwise if it continues like this, their online drama production department can be directly disbanded or merged into the TV drama production department.

Now Lin Xiang is most looking forward to Nie Wei's return to China. After all, it was Nie Wei who called for the establishment of the online drama department, and this is their biggest backer.

Lin Xiang didn't have to wait too long. On the third day after the meeting, Nie Wei's flight landed in Kyoto.

When Nie Wei broke through the siege of thousands of fans who came to pick him up at the airport and got on the nanny car, he found that there was an uninvited guest in the car.

"Lin Xiang, please sit down first, and why are you in my car?" Nie Wei looked at Lin Xiang who was bending over and standing in the car to greet him, and asked in confusion.

"Mr. Nie, I am abrupt, but I really have something urgent, I must tell you right away." Lin Xiang said anxiously before he sat down.

"What's so urgent?" Nie Wei smiled, but didn't blame Lin Xiang for being abrupt, but asked curiously.

Lin Xiang sorted out his thoughts and told Nie Wei about his experiences in recent days, starting from Wang Zhonglei taking out the three books written by Nie Wei.

"Boss Nie, I'm not saying this. You said you wanted us to set up a web drama department, and we took great pains to set it up. But now within the company, our web drama production department is just like a bastard. No, it's even worse than a bastard. It's just an adopted son caught from outside. It's really unloved by the father and mother. The staff of our department are all hit hard at this time. If you don't give us some good resources, I think we will automatically disband." Lin Xiang complained to Nie Wei, the "head of the family", like a wronged child.

Nie Wei listened silently until the end, and then asked Lin Xiang: "You must also think that the authority of your web drama department conflicts too much with the TV drama department, right?"

"No, since you asked us to set up a web drama production department, it must be different from the TV drama department." Lin Xiang hesitated and replied.

"Lie." Nie Wei smiled and exposed Lin Xiang's lie. After listening to his complaints just now, Nie Wei knew that not only other people in the company, but also their web drama production department had similar ideas.

"Yes, your duties do overlap in many places, but the biggest difference is that you can shoot a lot of content that TV dramas cannot shoot."

"So you have to understand the special nature of your department. I already know what you said, and I have some ideas. Let's talk about everything at the meeting tomorrow. Do you want me to take you back to the company first?"

"No, Mr. Nie, just drop me off on the side of the road. I'll take a taxi back and won't bother you." Although Nie Wei did not make any promises on the spot, Nie Wei's words just now made Lin Xiang feel that the turning point of his department seemed to be coming soon. After all, Nie Wei said that his web drama production department was special.

"Okay, I'll take you back to the company. After all, you are my future capable man. The web drama production department still depends on you as the leader to develop it." Nie Wei certainly would not abandon Lin Xiang halfway, which would be too disappointing for his subordinates.

Sure enough, after hearing what Nie Wei said, Lin Xiang felt happy and no longer mentioned the matter of taking a taxi.

When Nie Wei's nanny car drove to Huayi Company's headquarters, the news of Nie Wei's return to China was also heard by many people, and these people also had the idea of ​​following Nie Wei's return to China.

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise for the generous reward.
