Chapter 983 1083. Donating to Alma Mater

At the beginning of September, Inception had been released for more than 60 days, and the box office in the mainland had exceeded 3 billion.

Nie Wei once again broke his own record, raising the domestic box office record by a large margin.

At present, many artist evaluation companies have listed Nie Wei in the unique category, because in the whole of China, there is really no artist as special as Nie Wei.

As an actor, Nie Wei is definitely the best of the best. Although due to his age, there are still gaps and restrictions for some roles, but in terms of acting skills and fame, he is already the strongest among Chinese male actors.

If it were just this, perhaps these evaluation companies would not have listed Nie Wei in the unique category.

But Nie Wei's identity is just an actor. As a director, Nie Wei is the most famous director in China now, no one else, whether it is Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, or Chen Kaige, even Li An, who was once the pride of the Chinese, is not as good as Nie Wei who is now in the limelight.

Just like when CTV went abroad to do an interview with Hollywood before, when Nie Wei was mentioned, all the big foreign stars gave him a thumbs up and even took the initiative to invite Nie Wei to act in the show, clearly expressing their desire to act in Nie Wei's movie.

This level of popularity among Hollywood big stars is really something that no director in China can enjoy.

In addition, Nie Wei's strength in music is also amazing. The song "SUMMER-FUNK" not only helped "Infinite Challenge" to win a rating of 12.62, but also created a miraculous record on YouTube.

In just one week, this song created a record of 100 million on-demand rate on YouTube, becoming the song that broke through 100 million on-demand rate in the shortest time on YouTube.

And it took only 27 days for this song to set a record again, becoming the song that broke through 500 million on-demand rate in the shortest time on YouTube.

The sudden stop percussion music that was once popular in the United States in the 1970s suddenly became popular again because of "SUMMER-FUNK".

Originally, those musicians who did rap or pop music also became interested in sudden stop percussion and even disco style. In just one month, three first-line singers launched similar singles, and the quality was also good.

For a time, retro style prevailed in Europe and the United States, and FUNK and disco became the mainstream. Many musicians felt that they were excluded by the entire music circle if they did not talk about related topics on the show.

"Nie Wei, this is an invitation from the American Music Festival in October." Luo Kai handed a delicate envelope to Nie Wei's desk.

Nie Wei opened the envelope and found an invitation letter inside.

The content was basically the official one, anyway, it was to show that he was very sincere.

"The organizer called and promised that if you are willing to accept the invitation, they will give you the treatment of a first-line singer. How about it, do you want to go?" Luo Kai asked.

If it were another singer, Luo Kai would not ask this question. Being invited to the world's top music festival like the American Music Festival is definitely something that Chinese singers cannot miss, but Nie Wei is different.

"Go." Nie Wei answered simply.

From Nie Wei's point of view, this was originally part of his plan. He was not going to make an album specifically for "SUNMMER-FUNK", so naturally he couldn't go to a music program that didn't have one to compete.

So this kind of music festival is the best place for Nie Wei to promote his music.

First, he can choose songs on his own. Nie Wei can just sing those songs that were popular before but no one knew they were created by him again to deepen the impression of the audience. Second, such music festivals are all live performances, which is exactly Nie Wei's strength.

This kind of LIVE show is actually the most attractive to the audience.

"Well, I'll reply to the other party here." Luo Kai heard that Nie Wei accepted the invitation, and without asking any more questions, he turned around and left the office.

Nie Wei continued to write the script of "Interstellar".

Just ten days ago, Nie Wei went to the United States and met Kip Thorne again at the University of California, Berkeley. He asked the physics master many questions. The two chatted for more than two hours before ending this conversation.

Since then, Nie Wei has been in a semi-secluded state. Apart from his daily work, Nie Wei basically studies his own script. After more than a week, Nie Wei finally completed the final script.

The overall structure of the script has not changed much. The main thing is that the identities and backgrounds of some protagonists have changed. Nie Wei did not change the plot much. This time, Nie Wei felt that he had a deeper understanding of the script.

If Nie Wei felt that he could make a 90-point movie with his best efforts in the initial creation version, then now with the final version of the script, Nie Wei felt that he could make a 99-point movie.

As for the full score? Nie Wei felt that unless he was the god of directors, no one could make a work that made him 100% satisfied.

At twelve o'clock, the secretary brought the meal from the cafeteria, and Nie Wei and Luo Kai gathered at the desk to deal with the lunch.

"If those netizens see us eating like this at noon, they will definitely be shocked." Luo Kai took a bite of the hot kohlrabi and said with a smile.

On the two people's table was the employee meal of Huayi Canteen, which consisted of four dishes and one soup.

The reason why Luo Kai suddenly said this is mainly because he has seen many netizens' speculations about Nie Wei's daily life. They think that since he is so rich, his food and drink expenses must be top-notch. For example, the water he drinks must be from France, the seafood he eats is all air-shipped from all over the world, and the clothes he wears are all hand-made by a certain royal tailor...

Luo Kai wanted to laugh after reading these words, and sometimes he really couldn't help but want to reply to these people for thinking too much.

Although Nie Wei is not a stingy Grandet, he is not as extravagant as those people think. On weekdays, Nie Wei eats the special meals provided by the cafeteria for executives in the company, and he has never mentioned any special requirements. Basically, Nie Wei eats whatever the chef in the cafeteria cooks.

The water he drinks is also mineral water ordered by the company. Only when making tea, Nie Wei uses more particular water.

However, as for clothing and accessories, Nie Wei is a star after all, and he pays attention to being bright and beautiful. Naturally, he can't be sloppy every day. However, when Nie Wei is at home, he wears very casually, basically whatever is comfortable.

Luo Kai himself didn't know how many times he had seen Nie Wei walking around the house in big shorts and a big vest. There was no scene like those little girls fantasized about, wearing a white shirt and holding a coffee cup and reading in the sun.

Life is life, idol dramas are idol dramas, but Luo Kai understands this truth. Those little girls may also understand it, but they would rather live in dreams than understand it.

"What is your schedule this afternoon?" Nie Wei asked.

"Your alma mater's donation event, you can't even forget this?" Luo Kai's eyes widened slightly, looking at Nie Wei in disbelief.

That was a donation project of more than 100 million yuan, and Nie Wei actually forgot it. He was sure that Nie Wei really forgot it.

"Sorry, I've been studying the script recently and I'm a little confused." Nie Wei slapped his forehead and smiled embarrassedly.

In fact, the donation amount had been allocated to Beijing Film Academy a month ago. Now the new theater of Beijing Film Academy named after Nie Wei has officially started construction. In addition, this donation also includes a new IMAX-3D viewing hall and a batch of top-notch equipment after foreign updates.

Nie Wei has always spared no effort in supporting his alma mater.

This is a return to Beijing Film Academy for its cultivation of himself, and of course, more importantly, it is also about paying attention to the young talents in Beijing Film Academy, the cradle of Chinese films.

For example, Zhang Meng, the young actress that the company has recently promoted, is actually a member of the talent introduction plan of Huayi and Beijing Film Academy.

In recent years, Nie Wei has donated more than 500 million Chinese yuan in various buildings, equipment and funds to Beijing Film Academy in his own name and in the name of Huayi, and Beijing Film Academy has also provided Huayi with a lot of talents in these years.

And not only actors, but also directors, photographers and many behind-the-scenes technical staff, basically 80% of those who have the ability have gone to Huayi.

Many people in the circle are even teasing Beijing Film Academy, saying that it has become a talent reserve base for Huayi.

Beijing Film Academy does not care about this. In their view, those who say this are all jealous. Beijing Film Academy is the only art school in China that can receive donations of more than 100 million yuan every year.

This money not only makes Beijing Film Academy's teaching strength leap to the undisputed first place in the country, but also improves the lives of students and even teachers.

Nie Wei established two funds three years ago to serve teachers and students. For example, teachers who have cars can travel easily, but teachers who don't have cars have to take the bus on weekdays. However, since Nie Wei established the fund, Beijing Film Academy has six buses that are dedicated to picking up and dropping off teachers.

Even the salary of the drivers of these buses does not require Beijing Film Academy to pay a penny, all of which comes from the fund. There are many similar benefits. In addition to not being able to give money directly, the treatment of teachers in Beijing Film Academy because of Nie Wei is really envied by teachers in art schools across the country.

And the teachers of Beijing Film Academy always praise Nie Wei, and they all praise him as the pride of Beijing Film Academy.

The treatment given to Nie Wei by Beijing Film Academy is really high. The first portrait of Nie Wei's outstanding graduates at the end of the corridor on the first floor is a portrait of Nie Wei's outstanding graduates. The rows of honors in it allow countless new students to see it at first sight.

Moreover, as long as the retired teachers are willing, Huayi is willing to hire them as the company's special teachers. Not only are they equally respected, but the work is easier than that in school, and there is no pressure on grades. The most important thing is that the treatment is better than when they are still working.

This even made some teachers in Beijing Film Academy who were reluctant to retire early waver. In recent years, the retirement rate of teachers in Beijing Film Academy has increased significantly, and 100% of these retired teachers have gone to work in Huayi again.

Originally, not retiring was a headache, but now the school has to keep some teaching backbones and beg them not to retire early. For this matter, Principal Wang even called Nie Wei specifically to ask him not to poach people from Beijing Film Academy all the time.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Nie Wei appeared at Beijing Film Academy on time, and more than 20 local media came to the scene.

In addition to the media, all the students were present. When Nie Wei arrived, the group had been crowded in the auditorium for almost half an hour.

With Nie Wei's arrival, the donation ceremony officially began.

The students in the audience were drowsy from the routine speeches of the officials, but some girls were very alert and kept staring at Nie Wei. They didn't need to hide their gazes in the crowd anyway.

Nie Wei also felt bored, but he didn't yawn as much as the students in the audience. After all, the speeches of the officials on the stage were mostly praising themselves.

Officials came to the stage one after another to speak, from the department head to the dean to the vice president to the president, and finally the official in charge of Kyoto's culture and sports, and the Institute of Education... After more than an hour, the students in the audience were almost asleep, and finally it was the turn of the donor Nie Wei to speak.

"Ahem, students in the audience, please try to wake yourself up, my speech is only five minutes." Nie Wei's first sentence made the whole auditorium laugh, including the officials who spoke before.

"As a graduate of Beijing Film Academy, my days in Beijing Film Academy are unforgettable in my life. In the future, when you enter the entertainment industry, whether you are an actor, director, photographer, or voice actor, you should support each other and help each other, because from the moment you step into this school, you have been branded with the 'brand of Beijing Film Academy'."

"This is our home in the entertainment industry and our warm harbor. No matter how great your achievements are in the future, only the days here will be your most precious memories."

"This is also the reason why I keep donating to my alma mater. I hope my home can become better and I hope my home can cultivate more outstanding younger students. And I am waiting for you in the entertainment industry. Come on!"

It is said to be five minutes, but Nie Wei's speech was actually less than three minutes, but this speech received the biggest applause from the audience. Even the teachers and officials of Beijing Film Academy were clapping their hands hard.

"Nie Wei, your speech just now was very good. That's right, Beijing Film Academy is the home of you children, so you should come back often when you have time." After the donation event ended, Wang Jinsong waited for Nie Wei at the door just to say this.

"Teacher Wang, I will definitely come back often." Nie Wei smiled and agreed. Just like what he said on the stage just now, that short period of life in Beijing Film Academy is really one of Nie Wei's best memories.

Because the days during that period were really pure and easy to satisfy, which is the happiness that Nie Wei can't enjoy even if he gets 3 billion box office now.

A donation of hundreds of millions immediately made the front page headlines of many newspapers the next day, but Nie Wei, who spent the money, didn't pay attention to these reports at all.

In the meeting room of Huayi, all executives gathered together because Nie Wei's new movie was about to set sail again.

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise and 0773 for their generous rewards.
