Chapter 807 807. Fighting openly and secretly

Nie Wei's last words touched Wang Zhonglei's heart. Although Huayi now has more than one top female star Zhou Xun, no agency would dislike too many top female stars like Zhou Xun.

As long as she is in the company, it is naturally a great guarantee of the value of an entertainment company.

"I also want to say something for Zhou Xun here. Although this sister is a bit reckless, she is not the kind of greedy person. Don't forget, if I agreed to her at that time, she was willing to renew her contract with the company for ten years. This year, Zhou Xun is thirty-five years old. Ten years is equivalent to throwing the last beautiful time of her acting career in Huayi."

Wang Zhonglei nodded subconsciously as Nie Wei said. To be honest, he was also shocked when he heard Nie Wei mention that Zhou Xun was willing to sign a ten-year contract with the company.

You should know that at Huayi, even trainees only sign for eight years at most, which is the longest contract of Huayi. Often, first-line artists sign for three to four years. The contracts of top artists like Zhou Xun are even more relaxed. For example, Zhou Xun signed a two-plus-one contract before.

And the ten-year long contract, as Nie Wei said, really sold all of his remaining best acting time to Huayi.

"Nie Wei, tell me the truth, do you have a candidate in your mind?" Wang Zhonglei asked Nie Wei very seriously.

"Really not." Nie Wei answered sincerely.

"Then wait for the audition?" Wang Zhonglei's words made Nie Wei smile, and said: "The audition may not really determine the winner. After all, this is a commercial movie, and Shirley Yang is not a very difficult role. I think both Zhou Xun and Fan Binbin are actually competent in acting."

Nie Wei's words are true. Fan Binbin's acting skills in this time and space have improved far beyond the red carpet queen of the same period in the original time and space.

At least in Nie Wei's opinion, Fan Binbin's acting skills at this time can be compared with Fan Binbin's acting skills when she starred in "I Am Not Madame Bovary" in the original time and space.

"What should we do?" Wang Zhonglei asked with a frown.

"We will consider many aspects, and acting skills are one part. We will not compare the lower limit but the upper limit. It depends on how they perform on the spot. In addition, we will arrange the audition of the male lead first, and then let the selected male lead participate in the evaluation. After all, it is a rival play, and it is always better to make the partner look more pleasing to the eye. This can also be regarded as an impression point."

"Anyway, I'll leave it to you." Wang Zhonglei waved his hand at Nie Wei and directly threw the matter to Nie Wei.

However, after throwing the task, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help complaining: "These actresses in the company are really not easy to deal with."

"Hahaha." Nie Wei agreed and laughed, knowing that Wang Zhonglei was referring to something.

Don't think that Wang Zhonglei's "tough guy" refers only to Zhou Xun, who threatened the company with the contract today. Nie Wei knew that Wang Zhonglei must have noticed Fan Binbin's little tricks.

This woman seems to be not fighting or competing recently, but in fact, she has been making small moves in private, otherwise how could there be so many rumors about her and Nie Wei's very good relationship suddenly spread in the company.

This is obviously the rumor released by Fan Binbin's team, just to put psychological pressure on competitors and force them to make mistakes because of pressure. It must be said that their strategy is really successful for more than half. At least Zhou Xun couldn't stand the pressure after hearing the rumors and ran to Nie Wei, and almost caused a big disaster.

If Zhou Xun went to find Wang Zhonglei today, I'm afraid that the heroine of "Ghost Blowing Light" has been decided by Fan Binbin.

Wang Zhonglei is not stupid. He must have guessed who was behind this from the recent rumors in the company. In addition to Zhou Xun's trouble today, Wang Zhonglei's complaint now came out.

The incident about Zhou Xun was not spread out, and Zhou Xun would not say anything. After all, Zhou Xun felt that she was wrong in the first place, and if it was really spread out, it would be impossible for her not to stand on the opposite side of the company. For Zhou Xun now, doing so would do more harm than good.

As for Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei, they would not say anything. Wang Zhonglei threw all the trouble to Nie Wei, and Nie Wei did not want to force Zhou Xun to leave for the benefit of the company. It would be better if she could stay.

So both parties tacitly "forgot" the incident for the time being.

Compared with the fierce competition on the actress side, the male actor side was much more harmonious. Just a few days before the audition, Huang Xiaoming invited Cheng Kun to eat at his newly opened hot pot restaurant in Kyoto.

Of course, in Nie Wei's view, there must be a sense of competition between the two under the harmonious surface.

Nie Wei thought it was impossible to say that he didn't want to compete for such an excellent resource, but the two of them had a good relationship, so there were fewer private tricks in this competition, but it was a fair and healthy competition.

As the audition got closer, even the small fights between Zhou Xun and Fan Binbin became less and less. Obviously, everyone knew that in the end, 90% of the roles still depended on their own strength, and these tricks were just one of the means to win, but they could not determine the final result.

When several top actors were looking forward to the day of the audition, Nie Wei, who was the main person in charge of this audition, was entangled in trouble the day before the audition.

The accident did not happen to Nie Wei, but to Qin Chuan, thousands of miles away from Kyoto.

When Nie Wei saw the news online, the incident had actually happened a week ago, and it was only now exposed online, and it was just what a reporter heard by chance.

As for why it is related to Nie Wei, we have to mention the "Assassin's Alliance" which is still in theaters.

Since the hit of "Assassin's Alliance", a number of products have also become popular.

For example, the hoodie and sneakers worn by Nie Wei in the play, or the coat and leather jacket worn by Li Binbin, the sunglasses he wears, and even the drinks, mobile phones and small accessories used by the characters in the film have become hot-selling products because of the hot sales of the movie.

The genuine copies of these things are naturally valuable, and not everyone can afford them, so naturally a number of counterfeit products have spawned.

Moreover, these counterfeit products have more varieties. Not only are there imitations of genuine peripheral products brought out by the movie, but they are also more able to explore business opportunities. Many things in the movie are not sold in the genuine peripheral mall, but they are sold.

For example, the customized firearms in this movie.

Of course, these small businessmen naturally have no ability to sell genuine products in front of national laws. They sell plastic toy guns that have the appearance of those guns in the movie, but they only shoot BB bullets.

But don't underestimate it because it's a toy. In order to highlight its authenticity, these toy manufacturers have really put in a lot of effort. The toy guns they made actually have a certain degree of lethality. At least some of the high-quality BB bullets fired by these pistols can shatter glass bottles ten meters away.

If such bullets hit people, if the clothes they wear are thinner, the places hit will inevitably be bruised. If they hit some fragile organs, it is not impossible to cause damage.

Qinchuan has three such teenagers who took such toy guns to the mall. As a result, one of the children was hit in the eye by another child's bullet, causing retinal contusion.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Nie Weiyi. After all, it was caused by the children's own carelessness. Even if they want to investigate, they should investigate those unscrupulous toy manufacturers. These guys really dare to do anything to make money.

But the media always looks at problems differently from ordinary people. In their opinion, the root of all these evils is "Assassin's League". If there is no "Assassin's League", those long-outdated toy guns will not suddenly become popular again.

If those kids hadn't seen "Assassins' Alliance", they wouldn't have imitated the content in the movie and played around with toy guns in the mall.

So in the eyes of the media, it was all the fault of "Assassins' Alliance". Who made "Assassins' Alliance" so popular? They just wanted to take advantage of the popularity of this movie.

And this kind of news that looks very interesting at first glance, once it is released by a media, there will be a lot of follow-up reposts soon. It took less than half a day for this unexpected incident that happened thousands of miles away to explode on the Internet.

For a while, "Assassins' Alliance" became a bad movie that was criticized by thousands of people in the mouths of this group of media. According to what these guys said, I'm afraid they wished to ban the movie right away.

When Nie Wei got the news, the news had gradually spread on the Internet. In fact, the staff of Weibo had already discovered the news, but at that time the news had not become popular, so the staff didn't take it seriously.

Who would have thought that this news would become popular so quickly? By the time the staff noticed the news, the news had already squeezed into the hot search.

They knew that things were not going well at that time, and they quickly reported it to Nie Wei.

Nie Wei was also very angry about having such a "fool" under his command, but things had come to this point, and the staff member would definitely not escape the punishment he deserved, but it was still the most important thing to solve this matter at the moment.

Just when Nie Wei was thinking about how to eliminate the impact of this matter, Wang Zhonglei also called. Obviously, this big boss was also alarmed by this sudden negative news.

You must know that "Assassin's League" is now Huayi's most shining golden signboard. Wang Zhonglei will never allow anyone to splash even a small stain on it, not to mention that this time the gang wanted to blacken this golden signboard.

"Nie Wei, I have already done work with six newspapers, and they promised to withdraw the news immediately. You should also greet those self-media on your Weibo. Those who should withdraw the news should make up the news, and those who should ban the accounts should ban the accounts. Don't let them mislead the public like this again."

"This is not a good way. I have a better way." Nie Wei's mind is fast, and he has thought of a way in an instant.

Hearing what Nie Wei said, Wang Zhonglei immediately became interested and asked what the method was.

"In our entertainment industry, the most common method is to use another bigger news to cover up negative news when a person has negative news. What we need now is a bigger news." Nie Wei said.

"But "Assassin's League" is so popular now, where can I find news that is more topical than it." Wang Zhonglei frowned and muttered to himself. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and asked Nie Wei in a surprised tone: "Are you going to hold a wedding with Shu Chang? That's right, your wedding will definitely be able to suppress this negative news."

Nie Wei's head was black. What was Wang Zhonglei thinking? Was it necessary for him to make urgent preparations for the wedding for such a little negative news?

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. Shu Chang and I have no plans to hold a wedding recently." Nie Wei replied calmly, which made Wang Zhonglei look embarrassed. Obviously, he also knew that he was being too smart this time.

Nie Wei didn't bother with Wang Zhonglei about these things. The most urgent task was to solve the negative news about "Assassin's League".

Then Nie Wei told Wang Zhonglei about his ideas.

Wang Zhonglei listened to Nie Wei's narration, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. In the end, he simply applauded. It was not that Nie Wei's ideas were so complicated and brilliant, but Nie Wei's way of diverting trouble was too clever.

"Nie Wei, your brain is so fast, haha." On the phone, Wang Zhonglei's voice was already relaxed after listening to Nie Wei's ideas.

Nie Wei's idea was actually very simple. Didn't the media say that "Assassin's League" instigated underage children to become bad, and Nie Wei directly pointed the finger at the censorship bureau, preparing to once again set off the film censorship system in China.

After all, this matter was not the fault of "Assassin's League" from beginning to end. Even those toy guns that imitated "Assassin's League" were not really authorized by the movie, but those toy manufacturers made them illegally for profit.

Most of the media just made far-fetched connections to "Assassin's Alliance". After all, only in this way can the public's attention be attracted and the news have the desired effect.

But the media's position of accusation is actually untenable. Just like the comments below these media, although some keyboard warriors have made groundless accusations against the movie, more of them are actually netizens who are scolding these media. Sober netizens still account for the majority.

In this case, as long as these netizens are given a correct guidance, the spearhead will inevitably be turned directly. The only difficulty is that this matter cannot be initiated by Huayi, so a leader needs to be found.

"Leave this matter to me. Many old gentlemen in the circle have been dissatisfied with the current film review system for a long time. This time there is an opportunity, I believe they will definitely not miss it." Wang Zhonglei said.

He is not worried about not finding people at all. You know, there have been some calls for the reform of the film review system every year in recent years, but these calls come and go quickly, but it is undeniable that there is indeed a group of people in the circle who insist on this idea, and there is no shortage of respected predecessors among them.

Now Wang Zhonglei is going to hand this "spear" to the other party, and I believe that the other party will be happy to accept it.
