Chapter 951 1051. Pre-heating for
In the past, Huayi's New Year's Eve concerts were held at the Workers' Stadium, because it was the largest stadium in Kyoto at that time. However, since the end of the Olympic year and the opening of the Bird's Nest, Huayi's New Year's Eve concerts have moved to the Bird's Nest.
From a stadium with 60,000 people to a stadium with 100,000 people, those top singers have to worry about whether the tickets can be sold, but Huayi has never had such worries.
The number of pre-sold tickets in full was as high as 50,000, and the 500 VIP tickets worth 2,000 yuan were sold out within ten minutes.
On the day of the sale, including pre-sold tickets, it took only half a day to sell a total of 85,000 tickets, and the number of ticket refunds was less than 1%. The remaining 15,000 tickets were not unsold, but were reserved by the company.
Among them, 5,000 tickets will be given as free tickets to various departments and political and business celebrities in Kyoto, and the rest will be partly digested by the company, and the other part will be kept until the day of the concert.
As one of the most influential New Year's Eve parties in China, it is also a stage that countless stars dream of showing themselves.
For example, this year, new girl groups and boy groups including RAINBOW and T.N.T were invited, as well as many singers and actors who have cooperated with Huayi this year. Many of them will also perform on stage.
Among them is Wang Feng.
He is not an artist of Huayi. Wang Feng has his own agency, but the two sides have a lot of cooperation in music.
Although in the original time and space, because of his agent's words "half of the pop music", this rock master was given the title of "Wang Banbi" that was ridiculed by many people, but in the eyes of people in the circle, Wang Feng may not be called half of the pop music, but in the Chinese rock circle, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is half of the Chinese music today.
As a rock singer who has been active since the 1990s, Wang Feng is definitely one of the best in the current Chinese rock circle. You can laugh at him for not having traffic and not being able to make headlines, but you can't deny that his continuous creation can bring popular songs to the public almost every year.
Moreover, Wang Feng's music is not sloppy or vulgar, but is the kind of music with great thoughts. His attitude towards making music is actually quite admirable.
In the artist rest area, Nie Wei introduced Zhang Ziyi to Wang Feng with a playful attitude, wanting to see if this couple from the original time and space would have any sparks when they met.
But what made Nie Wei feel a little disappointed was that the two of them just greeted each other politely, and then there was no excessive conversation. Zhang Ziyi didn't even seem to be enthusiastic about the T.N.T guys just now.
Wang Feng seemed indifferent to Zhang Ziyi, but was particularly enthusiastic towards Nie Wei. He talked to Nie Wei about many things in music and exchanged many creative experiences. If he didn't know that Nie Wei was very busy, Wang Feng would have pulled Nie Wei into his lounge for a long chat.
Nie Wei was also at a loss for words. He thought, I finally got a chance to gossip and wanted to introduce a beautiful woman to you, but you turned a blind eye and kept talking to me. If I didn't know that you like women, I would have thought too much.
Seeing that the two of them didn't have a spark, Nie Wei didn't encourage anything. It was just his own way. He just hoped that his actions today would not affect their future relationship.
After taking Zhang Ziyi for a walk, the two returned to the main venue to find their seats. They met many artists along the way, all of whom took the initiative to greet the two enthusiastically.
Nie Wei and Zhang Ziyi's seats were not difficult to find. They were in the first row near the stage, which was the core of the entire venue. Nie Wei's side was full of Huayi's senior executives and top stars. On the other side of the stage, the front row seats were similar to Nie Wei's, where local celebrities and dignitaries were invited.
No matter which circle, seating is always a science.
After the two sat down and greeted Cheng Kun and Zhou Xun on both sides, they began to chat about a random topic, waiting for the New Year's Eve party to begin. Soon their row was basically full. The only empty seat was Wang Zhonglei's. He was communicating with those celebrities and dignitaries on the other side. Wang Zhonglei has always been very enthusiastic about these things.
Of course, many businessmen came to greet Nie Wei during this period. Nie Wei basically just had a simple conversation and then accepted their business cards.
These people were also very discerning. After seeing Nie Wei accept the business card, they basically stopped bothering him. Occasionally, a few people who wanted to chat with Nie Wei endlessly were basically blocked by Luo Kai.
Zhang Ziyi knew these people who came to greet Nie Wei. Among them were some bosses worth billions. These big bosses who were arrogant in front of them on weekdays completely restrained their usual arrogance in front of Nie Wei. Their friendly appearance was just like the uncles and aunts next door when he was a child.
"Just asking me for a favor." Listening to Zhang Ziyi's praise, Nie Wei was not proud.
Because Zhou Aiguo's real estate company's business has shifted from foreign countries to domestic, it mainly builds resorts and creates high-end residential areas in scenic spots in China. At present, there are about 2 billion projects that have started construction. If the development goes smoothly, the entire project may cost tens of billions.
And the people who came to greet Nie Wei just now are basically bosses in the construction industry. Some of them run design companies, some run building materials companies, and some are simply real estate companies. They all want to participate in this project.
Nie Wei's workload has increased recently, which is also because he has to deal with this group of people.
Nie Wei must not only select from these people the companies he thinks are suitable and have good quality and reputation, but at the same time he must lower the price to a standard that is very beneficial to him.
Of course, the pressure is not on Nie Wei's side. As the company leading this large project, Nie Wei is the active party, while those companies are the passive party.
As the audience entered, Nie Wei's side finally became quiet. One hundred thousand people began to enter the venue at five o'clock, and it was not until seven o'clock in the evening that they all entered the venue in batches.
After waiting for another half an hour, Huayi’s New Year’s Eve carnival finally started again.
As one star after another took the stage, the atmosphere in the auditorium also set off wave after wave of climax. What Nie Wei found interesting was that Zhang Ziyi, who usually looked like a big star in front of outsiders, came to the concert. At that time, she was like a little fangirl.
What's even more interesting is that when they met Wang Feng backstage just now, both of them acted very calmly, but when Wang Feng came on stage to sing, Zhang Ziyi cheered louder than anyone else.
"Are you a fan of Wang Feng?" Zhang Ziyi finally calmed down as she watched Wang Feng step off the stage, and Nie Wei couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Can't you?" Zhang Ziyi blushed slightly, mainly because she shouted too hard just now. Looking at Nie Wei's curious eyes, Zhang Ziyi smiled and explained loudly in Nie Wei's ear: "When I was in school, I wanted to go there most. The place is the bar street over Houhai.”
"Because I heard that celebrities will always appear there, I really want to go there to see the big stars."
"Later on Qin Hailu's birthday, I encouraged her to take us to Bar Street, because at that time she was the only one of us girls who had enough money to go there. Then that time Qin Hailu really took us girls with her, as well as Zeng Li, Hu Jing, Zhang Tong..."
"In the bar we went to, I didn't meet any big stars, but I met a lot of bands performing there."
"There was Pu Shu, there was Zheng Jun, and there was Wang Feng. At that time, he had not gone solo yet, and he was still playing as the home band of No. 43, but they were not popular at that time, and they were just playing in bars. You also know that I Even if they can’t sing well, they can sing really well, and I really envy them.”
"That night I went back and had a dream. I was the heroine in the MVs of those good songs. Later on, my dream was to shoot the MVs of their songs. I didn't expect it."
"I really didn't expect it." Nie Wei smiled and shook his head and said, "They can't afford to hire you now."
"If the song is good, I don't need to charge money." Zhang Ziyi said with a smile.
Nie Wei really didn't expect that this international movie queen would have such a past. Does this mean she has not forgotten her original intention?
Many viewers who came to the concert may never forget this concert. The cheers of 100,000 people were so shocking that they can never be felt in front of the TV.
But for Nie Wei, attending this New Year's Eve party was just a "lazy" part of his busy schedule. After eating dumplings with Shu Chang early the next morning, Nie Wei hurried to the technology company to pay attention to "Inception" Special effects production of "Space".
2011 was obviously not a peaceful year for the Chinese entertainment industry.
Various news have been breaking out since the beginning of the year. A certain model couple divorced due to relationship problems, a certain rich man kicked his celebrity wife out of the house after she gave birth to a child, or a certain celebrity and a certain rich second generation Lightning wedding or something like that.
While the crowd was dazzled, Nie Wei turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window and kept focusing on work. Even his social platform account had not been updated for a long time.
Fans of Nie Wei almost turned into hopeless fans. They kept reading entertainment news and social media accounts every day, hoping to get some news about Nie Wei. Later, they even read business reports without being selective, because They found that Nie Wei was more likely to appear in the media business section than the entertainment section in recent times.
"Isn't our Nie Wei going to quit the entertainment industry?" An irresponsible conjecture made by a heartbroken fan in the fan club received tens of thousands of replies.
Not because this topic is so attractive, after all, there are countless posts with similar content on fan forums every day, but because Nie Wei actually replied to this post.
Although he only replied with the word "Don't make trouble", it still triggered a riot among fans. The fan club, which originally had an average of 500,000 actives, soon exceeded 1 million actives because of this reply, and also occupied the WeChat account. It stayed at the top of the popular search list for half a day.
Many front-line celebrities couldn't help but feel a little bit amused. After all, Nie Wei only replied with two words, so many people paid attention to him, and he directly landed in the first place, and they worked hard to promote their works. , in the end you have to spend money to get into the top ten.
This really makes countless people in the industry feel envious from the bottom of their hearts.
This is also the reason why so many celebrities want to have a relationship with Nie Wei. They don’t ask Nie Wei to support them. They just want the opportunity to mention Nie Wei when they appear on the show in the future, or take a photo and post it on Weibo. , which may have a greater impact on them than their own hard work.
As the person involved, Nie Wei didn't care that he was on the hot search for a long time after replying with two words. He is currently devoting himself to editing the first version of the promotional video for "Inception".
The post-production of the film has been completed. Yesterday, Nie Wei accompanied Wang Zhonglei and Han Shanping to watch the first edited version of Inception.
After the two-and-a-half-hour film ended, Han Shanping took off his 3D glasses and said nothing, but just gave Nie Wei a thumbs up.
In Han Shanping's opinion, the science fiction film directed by Nie Wei is already the undisputed number one in China.
And the movie is not only powerful in special effects, but also in its plot logic, which amazed Han Shanping. Until he took off his glasses at the end, Han Shanping was still thinking about whether the male protagonist had escaped from the dream at the end...
"I will help this movie get the greatest support from the theaters." Han Shanping promised directly in front of Nie Wei. This should not have been said directly by him, but this movie is really too good to be expressed so directly.
Nie Wei was naturally very grateful for this. Han Shanping dared to make such a promise in front of everyone, so he naturally had to show the same or even higher sincerity as the promise. For Nie Wei and Huayi, they both benefited tangibly, and thanks were natural.
"What's next? Summer or Lunar New Year?" Wang Zhonglei interrupted.
Movies are not released immediately after they are finished. Even if they are well prepared, many movies will be delayed for a period of time according to the schedule. Wang Zhonglei asked this question because he wanted to know Nie Wei's thoughts.
"Of course, we will send it for review and promote it at the same time." Nie Wei answered as a matter of course. At this point in the progress of the movie, it can be said that it is only one step away from being released. It happens that the summer vacation is coming in a few months. Nie Wei has decided to keep "Inception" in the summer vacation.
He will not keep the movie until the end of the year to compete for the Lunar New Year for some false reputation. The two schedules are actually similar, just like midterm exams and final exams. The only advantage of the Lunar New Year schedule over the summer vacation is that most people spend the New Year at home during the Lunar New Year, and the chance of going to the cinema is relatively high, while many people will go out to travel during the summer vacation.
But in Nie Wei's view, as long as the movie is good, even tourists will go to the cinema to watch it.
"Then the summer season!" Seeing that Nie Wei had made the decision, Wang Zhonglei also made up his mind to start preparing, and a few days later, the first trailer of "Inception" was finally uploaded to the Internet under the expectation of everyone.
