Chapter 993 1093. No regrets
As a world-class music festival, the American Music Festival has a great influence.
On the second day after Nie Wei's performance, news about him was overwhelming all over the United States. It was the first time that Nie Wei made the headlines of American entertainment media as a singer.
These media used words such as "amazing", "incredible" and "unlimited talent" to describe Nie Wei's performance and ability.
The video of Nie Wei's live performance that day was also uploaded to Youtu.com.
When Nie Wei returned to China the next day, Nie Wei's video on Youtu.com had already received more than 10 million hits, and it topped the list of the video popularity rankings that day, far ahead.
In China, those sneak peek videos pulled from Youtu.com are also particularly popular. According to statistics from several websites, there are at least tens of millions of views.
Many of Nie Wei's fans in China expressed deep regret for this, and many people also asked Nie Wei on Fanxing Weibo whether he would participate in the American Music Festival next year, and they would definitely go to the scene to support him.
Not only Nie Wei's fans, but also many people in the entertainment industry are paying attention to Nie Wei's trip to the National Music Festival.
Musician Gao Song wrote an evaluation of Nie Wei's performance on Weibo less than half an hour after Nie Wei's performance that day.
"We appreciate Nie Wei's musical talent. He can always create amazing works, but we should not ignore his performance. He is the most musical singer I have ever seen, at least among pop singers. His bass is very stable and his high notes are penetrating, so all the songs he performs, even if they are ordinary, will attract the audience."
Singer JJ Junjie also commented on Nie Wei's performance at the National Music Festival.
"Nie Wei's songs always have a strong style. What surprised me most is his basic skills. Obviously, he is not a professional singer, but his breath is very stable and his pitch is very accurate. People can't find any faults, and even admire him a little."
In Taiwan, during the recording of "Kangxi", S and S, who just hosted the Golden Melody Awards in the middle of the year, also talked about Nie Wei's performance at the National Music Festival in the program.
"Just a while ago, a reporter asked me if I had seen Nie Wei's performance at the American Music Festival. I answered that I could never miss it." Big S told Little S in an exaggerated tone.
"My husband likes Nie Wei very much. He pulled me and insisted that I watch it with him."
"That reporter also asked me in a very annoying way whether Mayday sang better at the Golden Melody Awards or Nie Wei sang better at the American Music Festival. I almost rolled my eyes on the spot, you know?"
"Then how did you answer?" The sisters' tacit understanding made Little S immediately answer.
"What else can I answer? Of course, both are good." Big S laughed and said.
"This is too formulaic." Little S looked disgusted, then rolled her eyes and set a trap for her sister: "To be honest, don't say whether Mayday sang better or Nie Wei sang better. You said that you like the two stages better. It's just your opinion."
"Don't say it, it's very offensive." Big S hesitated.
"Sister, it's just your own thoughts. What's there to hesitate about? Just say whichever one you like. Each of us has an independent soul, so we should have our own ideas, right?"
"Okay, okay, don't brainwash me." Big S felt a headache from her sister's long speech. Besides, it's boring to do variety shows if they are too formulaic. And with Big S's status, she also cares about whether she offends people. So after thinking about it, she made a choice.
"Nie Wei, after all, that scene was too exciting, with more than 100,000 people."
"But Mayday has also held a concert with 100,000 people. Why don't you choose Mayday? You must think that Mayday is not as good as Nie Wei, right?" Little S winked at Big S and said a string of words like a machine gun. Obviously, she had prepared it long ago.
Big S was also at a loss for words. She waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that Little S was pitting her.
It was originally just a joke between the two sisters. As Little S said, this choice was only Big S's choice, but after the show was broadcast, it was unexpected that Mayday itself was alarmed.
Of course, Mayday did not go to the trouble to accuse Nie Wei. Instead, they admitted on Weibo that Nie Wei's performance was great, and implicitly proposed that they hoped to cooperate with Nie Wei in music.
Nie Wei found out about this when he saw Mayday tag him, and he also followed Mayday and gave Mayday a thumbs up.
The interaction between the two of them, following each other and giving Mayday a thumbs up, made many fans excited. Mayday's fans hope that Nie Wei can write more good songs for Mayday, preferably English songs. Although Mayday has strong creative ability, it is always weak in English songs. With Nie Wei to make up for it, maybe they can break out of Asia.
Nie Wei's fans are excited about whether Nie Wei will participate in another music festival. They are now fascinated by Nie Wei's live performance. Other fans like to listen to the studio version of the song, but Nie Wei's fans just like to listen to Nie Wei's live performance, especially the one with pictures.
Watching Nie Wei drive the atmosphere of the whole venue with his singing, that kind of super-burning atmosphere really makes the viewers fascinated and deeply immersed in it even through the screen.
While countless people were discussing how exciting Nie Wei's performance was, Nie Wei was in a quiet office in the Bauhinia Museum, discussing the content of the filming with several teachers.
Just in the middle of the discussion, Luo Kai hurriedly walked in with his mobile phone. When Nie Wei saw it, he knew that there was something urgent without Luo Kai saying anything, and it was a very important matter, otherwise Luo Kai would not I came in to disturb Nie Wei while he was working.
"You go ahead and do your work first. We also need to prepare here." Su Qing is also at the scene. As the protagonist of the porcelain part of this cultural relic restoration chapter, Nie Wei will follow Su Qing to shoot the porcelain part of the Bauhinia Museum this week. .
Even if there was a mother, Nie Wei still apologized to several teachers present before leaving with Luo Kai.
Watching Nie Wei and Luo Kai disappear, a teacher couldn't help but praise Nie Wei with Su Qing: "Teacher Su, your child is really well taught, he is capable and sensible, how do you educate him?" "Teach us too, my son and daughter won't be able to use it, but I can teach my grandson in the future."
"I don't have any method. I just teach him normally. It's up to the child to fight for it." Su Qing said modestly, but she couldn't hide the happiness on her face. Her colleagues were happier when they praised her son than she was when she praised herself. .
The praise from her colleagues made Su Qing feel happy, but outside the office, Luo Kai brought some not-so-good news to Nie Wei.
"Just now Mr. Wang personally called and Fan Binbin was ready to create her own studio after the contract ends tomorrow. In addition, she only allows Huayi to acquire 10% of the shares in her studio."
"In addition, Mr. Wang also asked me to tell you that Huang Xiaoming seems to have the same idea. He wants to create a studio after the contract expires and is not planning to renew the contract with the company."
After listening to Luo Kai's narration, Nie Wei did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a long time.
He had heard Wang Zhonglei talk about Fan Binbin's departure when he returned to China. At that time, Nie Wei's advice was to negotiate as much as possible and make more profits, but if Fan Binbin insisted on setting up a personal studio and did not renew the contract with the company, Nie Wei felt that she should take at least 30% of her studio's shares.
But now it seems that Fan Binbin is determined to go it alone. From the fact that she only gave Huayi 10% of the shares, Nie Wei knew that this woman was determined.
Nie Wei also understood Fan Binbin's thoughts.
Although Fan Binbin's status in the industry is not as good as that of top actresses such as Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi, her ability to attract money is not weak at all. All kinds of big names seem to like her charming face, and this woman He is also very good at promoting himself, and his popularity at his age is not inferior to that of those little flowers and fresh meat.
She has earned nearly 100 million yuan in these years. With such a net worth, it is natural to think that she is not willing to be 'controlled' and 'exploited' by the brokerage company anymore.
Therefore, no matter how good the conditions offered by Huayi were, she would not be moved. Working for others and being a boss are obviously two different enjoyments.
"Send a text message to Brother Zhonglei later and ask him if he wants the 600,000 shares that Fan Binbin held after leaving the company. If she doesn't want it, I will pay to take it."
"Besides, there is no need to try to keep Brother Zhonglei. How can he keep me when my heart is gone?"
"Do you really want to let her go like this?" Luo Kai was a little unwilling. When Fan Binbin was in the company, he took a lot of Nie Wei's resources to become popular now. Unexpectedly, he wanted to leave so selfishly. For a while, Luo Kai His favorable impression of Fan Binbin instantly hit rock bottom.
"Everyone has their own ambitions, you can't force it, and it's not necessarily a bad thing if she leaves." Nie Wei smiled, not disappointed because Fan Binbin was leaving the company.
"???" Luo Kai first wondered how it could be a good thing for an A-list actress like Fan Binbin to leave the company, but then when Nie Wei spit out a name, Luo Kai understood.
As for what happens to Huang Xiaoming, this is just Wang Zhonglei's guess after all, and even if Huang Xiaoming leaves, it will not be a big deal for Huayi. At most, the stock will fall slightly for a few days.
After all, Huang Xiaoming is succeeded by Nie Wei and Cheng Kun, and there are new-generation male stars such as Jing Boran, Li Yifeng, and Ma Tianyu taking over. His departure will only speed up the success of the young actors below. Huayi because of Nie Wei's Guanxi has already had sufficient reserves, and it is no longer possible to just poach a company that is about to collapse.
The shooting at the Bauhinia Museum went very smoothly that day. Nie Wei did not go home immediately. Instead, after greeting Su Qing, he came to the company first.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Wang Zhonglei looked very haggard, obviously upset by Fan Binbin's departure this time.
Wang Zhonglei seems to have had inner demons since Wang Jinghua poached half of the company. He takes matters like celebrities leaving the company very seriously. Not to mention Fan Binbin, he can handle even a second-tier star leaving the company. I was depressed for several days.
Wang Zhonglei was very satisfied when he saw Nie Wei's rosy face.
"That little girl Fan Binbin is about to run away, why aren't you worried at all?" Wang Zhonglei asked Nie Wei angrily.
"Didn't I ask Luo Kai to send you a message to explain?" Nie Wei replied in surprise.
"I'm still not willing to give in. I have been cultivating her for so many years. We signed her before you even joined the company. When you joined the company, we assigned her to be the second female lead in director Feng's New Year's film. Then she was also cast in your film. Why is she so dissatisfied?"
"As I said before, everyone has their own ambitions, and it's good to be dissatisfied. Being dissatisfied means that you still want to make progress, and we need to support you even more."
"It's already this late, and you still have the energy to joke with me." Wang Zhonglei looked at Nie Wei, who was smiling beside him, depressed. He felt that this guy was so calm that it was a bit scary. He was so panicked, but he was still in the mood to joke.
Wang Zhonglei certainly didn't think Nie Wei was heartless. After so many years of contact, he could see that Nie Wei really didn't care about Fan Binbin's departure.
"First of all, Ziyi's contract will expire in three days. Her arrival will strengthen our company's top female star lineup."
"And Fan Binbin's departure really doesn't have much impact on us. Even if Fan Binbin leaves, we still have Zheng Shuang, Zhao Liying, Jiang Xin, and many other high-quality female stars."
"As long as I am willing, give me a year, I will definitely bring you a female artist who is no worse than Fan Binbin."
"The same goes for male stars. Brother Zhonglei, don't be suspicious anymore. If Huang Xiaoming wants to leave, let him go. Jing Boran, Ma Tianyu, and Li Yifeng can all fill his vacancy."
Speaking of this, Nie Wei stood up, holding the desk with both hands, and slightly bent down to look at Wang Zhonglei.
"Brother Zhonglei, we are no longer the Huayi that would collapse if poached once. We are now extremely powerful. Let those who leave leave. It is impossible for all passengers on a train to accompany us to the end, but we are confident that the artists who can accompany us will definitely live better than those who leave."
Feeling the strong confidence in Nie Wei's eyes, Wang Zhonglei gritted his teeth and nodded.
Since he decided to let go, Wang Zhonglei simply agreed to Fan Binbin's request directly and used the company's account to invest 100,000 yuan to take 10% of Fan Binbin's studio shares.
The shares of Fan Binbin's studio are naturally far more than this value, but Huayi's investment is equivalent to giving Fan Binbin's studio a certain amount of protection, so the excess value is considered as the "protection fee" paid by Fan Binbin to Huayi.
Fan Binbin was also willing to pay for this. After being in the circle for so long, she has seen a lot of things and knows that she still needs Huayi, the big tree, to shelter her from the wind and rain for a while.
"Sister, do you really not regret leaving Huayi like this?" Fan Binbin returned to the nanny car with the contract, and the assistant asked quietly.
Fan Binbin's eyes were complicated, and he thought for a moment, then nodded firmly.
"No regrets!"
