Chapter 810 810. Huayi goes public (Part 1)

Zhou Xun and Cheng Kun are not strangers to each other. They have worked together since 2000. The movie was called "Balzac and the Little Tailor". Since then, the two have established a very good relationship.

And when Cheng Kun lost his memory, Zhou Xun was the one who supported him the most.

And in 2005, when Zhou Xun and Li Yapeng broke up, Cheng Kun also stood by Zhou Xun all the time.

The friendship between the two has really stood the test of time, so when they saw that the male and female protagonists were each other, they smiled at the same time.

"We are going to work together again." Zhou Xun took the initiative to step forward and hugged Cheng Kun who stood up.

"This is the fourth time." Cheng Kun replied with a smile. The Chinese entertainment industry is really big. It is definitely a very high number to be able to work together four times in less than ten years.

But before the two sat down and talked properly, Wang Zhonglei and Nie Wei walked into the screening room.

"Have you said hello?" Nie Wei asked Cheng Kun and Zhou Xun who were sitting together with a smile.

"Boss Nie, you found me a good partner." Zhou Xun said with a smile. At this moment, she was in a very good mood. After this incident, Zhou Xun felt much closer to Nie Wei.

Especially since Nie Wei had helped her out and confronted that scumbag, Zhou Xun felt embarrassed now. She felt that Nie Wei was such an upright person, how could he be unfair? She was really a mean person.

Nie Wei didn't know what Zhou Xun was thinking at the moment, otherwise he would have a lot of questions. Are upright people always fair?

"This time, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" is expected to invest 120 million yuan. The special effects will still be handled by PO Lei Ting Special Effects Company under Nie Wei. The location will involve the desert area, so you must also be prepared for hard work. In addition, because there are some action scenes in the film, you will soon be arranged to have a training teacher. Remember to study hard at that time." Wang Zhonglei said.

Zhou Xun and Cheng Kun looked at each other, and saw anticipation and excitement in each other's eyes. With an investment of 120 million, it can be said that this is the movie with the largest investment amount that the two have starred in so far. What makes them even more excited is that the special effects are still in charge of PO Lei Ting.

The movie "Assassin's League" has made this special effects company famous in China. It seems that as long as PO Lei Ting participates in the production of special effects in a movie, the quality of the special effects of this movie will be guaranteed.

"One hundred and twenty million is not the final investment. There may be additional investment later. Moreover, this is only the investment for shooting, not including the publicity funds later. We actually expect the total investment of this movie to be around 200 million. This is also one of the key points of Huayi's film plan this year."

"I said this to put some pressure on you. You all know that this movie is going to be made into a series. If the first one doesn't get good reputation and box office, how can we make the next one? So since you have won this role, you must bear the responsibility of the box office and reputation of this movie."

Wang Zhonglei said to Zhou Xun and Cheng Kun with a serious face. Although he knew that even if he didn't say these words, these two actors would not be unprofessional, he hoped that his words would make Zhou Xun and Cheng Kun realize how important this movie is to Huayi, and hoped that they could exert their full strength to play this movie well.

"I will give you the storyboard script in a week. The preparation period will be about two months. You need to complete the basic action training and study the script hard. It may be very tiring, but I believe that this movie will also bring huge rewards for your efforts." Nie Wei also said.

After mobilizing the two top actors, Wang Zhonglei announced the adjournment of the meeting, but kept Zhou Xun.

Not for anything else, just for Zhou Xun's current contract.

According to the contract, Zhou Xun and Huayi only have less than two months left, so before the filming of the movie, Huayi must formally renew the contract with Zhou Xun and keep this actor in Huayi, so that Wang Zhonglei can really rest assured to hand over this role to Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun obviously also understands this, so when Wang Zhonglei proposed to sign an eight-year contract, she didn't even hesitate and nodded in agreement.

Zhou Xun's straightforwardness made Wang Zhonglei have less opinions about this actress in his heart. Zhou Xun obviously did it.

Of course, Huayi didn't really go to trick Zhou Xun.

This time, Huayi specially gave Zhou Xun a unique benefit for the renewal, allowing her to purchase a certain share of the company's option shares.

You have to know that Huayi is about to go public, and it is a listed company that everyone is optimistic about. So whether you keep the shares of Huayi to appreciate or sell them after Huayi goes public, it is a sure-fire deal.

Zhou Xun is not stupid, and naturally understands that this is Huayi's compensation for her after signing a long-term contract with her, so Zhou Xun is not polite and bought all the shares Huayi gave her.

In addition to this part of the option shares, the contract also clearly states the future treatment of Zhou Xun, which is the company's top resource treatment. As long as Zhou Xun herself does not have any personal problems, then as long as she stays in Huayi, she will be guaranteed to be popular.

As for Cheng Kun, his contract still has one and a half years left. After the company settles Zhou Xun's contract, it will also discuss the renewal with Cheng Kun. Wang Zhonglei hopes to renew the contract with Cheng Kun for at least four more years. In this way, together with the original contract, Cheng Kun can stay in Huayi for more than five years.

A week later, Cheng Kun's contract renewal was settled.

Huayi can be said to be the place where Cheng Kun was reborn. He lived very happily here. In addition, the company gave him very good renewal conditions, and he had no reason to refuse.

Unknowingly, another year passed. Nie Wei took Shu Chang to live in the courtyard for five days, and returned to the villa at home after the fifth day of the Chinese New Year.

Then for the next period of time, Nie Wei and Shu Chang spent the days receiving gifts.

Almost every day, many artist friends would return to Kyoto from their hometowns, and then they would bring local specialties to Nie Wei and his wife.

Like the millet and flour grown by Wang Baoqiang's family, the frozen seafood brought by Huang Xiaoming from home, the red sausage and black bread from the Northeast, the bacon and chili sauce from southern Hunan, the hot pot base from Sichuan, in short, there are all kinds of things.

Most of them were sent by Nie Wei to his mother in the courtyard. After all, he and Shu Chang would be busy soon, and so many things could not be eaten at all. If they were kept, they would only watch them spoil and let down a group of friends in vain.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Huayi's vacation officially ended. Everyone who went to work on the first day seemed a little casual. On the first day of work, they had not yet changed their mentality from the festive atmosphere.

In this regard, the stars and their assistants and agents are much better, because they are not idle during the holidays. Those who should go on the Spring Festival Gala go on the Spring Festival Gala, and those who should go on commercial performances go on commercial performances. The holidays of ordinary staff are actually their busiest time.

Of course, these are all popular artists, such as Zhao Liying, who has been idle this year and has not received any commercial performances.

Zhao Liying was also very depressed about this, but there was nothing she could do. She was just an unpopular actress and had no talent for singing. Her agent once secured an opportunity for her to release a single, but after going to the recording studio for an audition, the music producer kicked her out without saying a word.

The result is self-evident. The single was not released. In the words of the music producer, it was a waste of money to release a song for her.

Zhao Liying had no talent in hosting, so in the past few years since she entered the industry, she had been isolated from commercial performances and annual meetings. However, there were also benefits to not having activities. At least this year she had plenty of time to study the script of "Zhu Xian".

After following the advice of her agent, Zhao Liying has set her sights on the role of Bi Yao. In the consensus of her and her agent, although Lu Xueqi's role has a heavier role, in their opinion, Bi Yao is obviously a more attractive role.

Especially among the book fans of this book, Bi Yao is very popular among the book fans. She finally sacrificed herself to block the Zhu Xian Sword for the male protagonist Zhang Xiaofan, which earned the tears of the book fans and made Zhao Liying feel uncomfortable for a long time.

The audition of "Zhu Xian" was held on the tenth day of the first lunar month. After the audition, the results were not announced on the spot. Instead, the actors who auditioned were asked to go back and wait for the results. The company said that it would be announced within a week.

During this period of waiting, Zhao Liying read the book "Zhu Xian" every day in the dormitory provided by the company. Until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the agent suddenly called her and asked her out for dinner.

Zhao Liying didn't think much about the agent's invitation. Since Huayi arranged this fellow villager who was ten years older than her as her agent, this fellow villager has always taken good care of her. He would always invite her to get together during festivals, which made Zhao Liying, who was in a foreign land, feel a rare warmth of home.

So after receiving the call from her agent, Zhao Liying dressed up quickly, and then took a taxi according to the address provided by her agent, and quickly arrived at the destination.

"Sister, where are my brother-in-law and Xiao Mai Sui?" After entering the box, Zhao Liying saw that only her agent was there, and asked subconsciously.

"Your brother-in-law is at home taking care of the children. Today, there are only two of us, mainly to celebrate for you." The agent looked at Zhao Liying with surprise, and said happily: "Liying, the audition results are out."

Hearing this, Zhao Liying's expression was stunned, and then her facial features began to gradually enlarge. Her big eyes quickly became round, and her small mouth could not close at all. She looked at her agent with an ecstatic expression, and her eyes were full of desire and disbelief.

The agent nodded vigorously at Zhao Liying and said again: "Liying, congratulations, Biyao is yours."

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!" Zhao Liying was in a trance for a moment after hearing this, and then she couldn't help but scream, which scared the waiter outside the door. He quickly opened the door of the box to see what was going on?

A minute later, Zhao Liying sat in her seat with a red face. Nine points were because of the surprise and excitement of getting this news, and the remaining point was a little embarrassed, especially when she saw the waiter's look of looking at her like a lunatic when he peeked at her just now, Zhao Liying was also a little embarrassed.

However, this little embarrassment could not affect her excitement at this time. Even though she had already sat down, Zhao Liying couldn't help twisting around. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, I'm afraid she would be able to dance on the spot.

The agent sister looked at Zhao Liying sitting opposite with a smile, looking like a child who got a big red envelope, with a doting look in her eyes. She also patiently answered the questions that Zhao Liying would ask from time to time.

"Liying, this opportunity is too rare. I heard that several teachers were still arguing about whether it was you or Zheng Shuang who would take the role. Fortunately, General Manager Nie finally made the decision and gave you the role, so you must seize this opportunity. Whether we can stand out in Huayi depends on your performance." The agent sister said to Zhao Liying.

Huayi is indeed a big tree, but the bigger the tree, the more people rely on it. If you want to stand out here, you must seize every opportunity.

"Sister, I will definitely work hard." Zhao Liying nodded her little head and promised solemnly.

"I believe in you. You are better than Zheng Shuang. You will definitely be popular. Didn't Zheng Shuang become popular because she was discovered by President Nie and acted in an idol drama? You will be fine too. You are also someone that President Nie is optimistic about."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Zhao Liying nodded repeatedly. After the agent finished speaking, she asked uncertainly, "Sister, should we buy a gift to thank President Nie?"

"Yeah, we should buy a gift. Let's go shopping in the mall after dinner."

In the selection of the heroine of "Zhu Xian", Zheng Shuang lost to Zhao Liying, which caused some controversy within the company, but it only lasted for one day. After all, Zhao Liying was decided by Nie Wei. Given the relationship between Nie Wei and Zheng Shuang, it was really difficult for others to say the word "shady" when Nie Wei played this role.

There is always a new topic in this entertainment company. Although Zhao Liying's selection of Bi Yao in "Zhu Xian" surprised many people, it was just a surprise. Zhao Liying is not popular yet, and it would not be surprising even if she became popular. Huayi has so many stars every year, and one more Zhao Liying is not too many.

The male lead Zhang Xiaofan of "Zhu Xian" was handed over to Jing Bairan, while Lin Jingyu was handed over to Li Yifeng. Ma Tianyu and Fu Xinbo also got relatively important roles. Huayi adapted this fairy tale novel in the direction of fairy tale idol drama from the beginning, so a group of important roles are basically played by the company's young actresses and young actors.

Time has unknowingly arrived in March. For Huayi, an important day is coming soon. On March 6, Huayi will be officially listed!
