Chapter 1080 1180. Starry Ceremony (Part 1)
Nie Wei did not participate in the judging process of the Star Awards. As the organizer, he had to know how to avoid suspicion. He even did not register his own work, which he was qualified to participate in the judging.
First, Nie Wei did not want to compete with his domestic colleagues for this new award with his own work, which seemed a bit bullying. Secondly, it was to avoid suspicion.
Even among the hundreds of judges from the preliminary review to the re-examination and then to the final selection, there were only 16 artists and directors from the Huayi Department.
These data and concessions all represent that Huayi wants to make this Star Awards as fair and just as possible, which is visible to colleagues in the circle.
A month passed unknowingly.
The crew of "Interstellar" also completed the shooting of the real-life scenes three days ago. Hollywood actors such as Keanu, Foy, and Jessica have all returned to the United States.
However, the movie is not over yet, or it has just begun. However, the next task belongs to the special effects company to complete. Perhaps some shots still need the cooperation of the actors. These have been noted when the contract was signed, and all the actors understand.
Nie Wei is not idle either. On the one hand, he has to keep an eye on the special effects production and tell his ideas to the special effects artist anytime and anywhere, especially ideas. Even if Nie Wei explains it clearly, when it reaches another person's ears, what he makes cannot be 100% restored to what Nie Wei wants.
Sometimes Nie Wei's ideas in his mind are very vague, which requires special effects artists to spend a lot of work to make a lot of special effects, and then Nie Wei personally selects and corrects them, and completes them bit by bit to build a special effect that can make Nie Wei most satisfied.
In addition, Nie Wei also has to complete the soundtrack work of the movie.
For a long time, Nie Wei's fans have a deep impression of Nie Wei's movies, that is, Nie Wei's movies always have god-level soundtracks.
Like "Memories of the Forbidden City" in "The Forbidden City" shot by Nie Wei, and the entire soundtrack of "Your Name", every time the audience revisits this movie, seeing Shu Chang looking at his palm when he fell, when the classic soundtrack sounded, it always makes the audience cry again.
There are many similar ones, but in the past two years, there are fewer classic soundtracks in Nie Wei's movies. Although they are all very nice and even excellent, they don't have the kind of feeling that makes people's ears tremble.
So this time Nie Wei decided to personally create a classic soundtrack for "Interstellar", and for this he even took out all the treasures in the bottom of the box.
"Starry Sky" is what Nie Wei carefully prepared for "Interstellar".
This magnificent soundtrack was called an epic soundtrack by countless netizens in the original time and space. Nie Wei imagined that in the movie, when the spaceship the male protagonist was riding took off, the magnificent movement of "Starry Sky" was played, which would definitely make the audience tremble from body to soul.
During this month, some people still live their usual lives, but some people's lives have changed.
For example, Lao Hu, since he became Shu Chang's driver, his salary has increased from 6,000 to 20,000 yuan, plus the 200,000 yuan rewarded by Nie Wei, his pockets are heavy for a while.
After Nie Wei returned to China with the crew, he gave him a vacation as promised. Lao Hu is also an honest man. After returning home, he gave all the 200,000 yuan to his wife and told her about his becoming Shu Chang's driver.
200,000 yuan is definitely a huge amount of money for ordinary people. When Lao Hu's wife knew that Lao Hu earned the 200,000 yuan by working hard, she cried and snotted. Especially when she saw the wound on Lao Hu's shoulder, her heart was throbbing, and she kept telling Lao Hu not to be so stupid in the future.
Lao Hu agreed with his mouth, but he didn't agree in his heart. He knew very well how his good life came about. If he didn't work hard at the critical moment, how could the leader appreciate him? Moreover, it is not easy for a person to encounter such danger once in his life, so how could he encounter it again so easily?
However, after crying out of fear, Lao Hu's wife calmed down and began to think about how to use the 200,000 yuan.
"Let's buy a house!" Lao Hu's wife suggested.
200,000 yuan is definitely not enough to buy a house in Yuzhou, but it can be used as a down payment for a smaller house. Besides, the family has a deposit of more than 100,000 yuan, which can be used to pay for a two-bedroom, one-living room house in a remote area.
"I think the price of houses will definitely increase. We might as well buy a house now and leave it for our son to use when he gets married. Otherwise, when the house price increases in the future, it will be too late for us to regret." Lao Hu's wife said happily while looking at the row of zeros behind the bank account on the computer.
Lao Hu had nothing to say. Anyway, the 200,000 yuan is here. As long as he doesn't do anything bad, it doesn't matter whether he buys a house or deposits it in the bank.
And he also thinks what his wife said makes sense. It's better to use the 200,000 yuan to buy a house for investment than to keep it in the bank and watch it depreciate every year. You know, the value of houses has been rising in recent years, but the Huaxia currency has depreciated rapidly.
Lao Hu still remembers that in 2007 or 2008, he went to the small restaurant next door and ordered a serving of shredded pork with fish flavor for only six yuan. But only five or six years later, when he went to the small restaurant again and ordered a serving of shredded pork with fish flavor, the portion was not as large as before, but the price had tripled to 18 yuan.
In addition, they don't know how to do business or invest, so buying a house is undoubtedly the safest option for them. After all, once a house is bought, it will be left there and they can't run away. Moreover, in such a peaceful and prosperous era, they don't worry about how much the house will depreciate.
In addition, Lao Hu's income is high now, and he has no pressure to repay several thousand yuan a month, so there is no reason to refuse his wife to buy a house, not to mention that his wife said it was for the children. Since it is for the children, what is there to hesitate about.
"Buy it, I will drive in the afternoon, and we will go to the agent." Lao Hu agreed immediately.
In addition to Lao Hu's family making a big decision, Xiao Liu, who turned out to be a blessing in disguise, also got a vacation from Nie Wei. The girl went home and was raised by her parents for a few days, and then she returned to the crew and gained a lot of weight.
Zhou Duoduo and others' training became more and more strict, but LEO also had real skills. With his joining, the atmosphere of Huayi's practice room became more professional, and the trainees had a strong sense of urgency. Even when Nie Wei saw Zhou Duoduo again, he praised her for being much more mature. Sure enough, pressure is a ripening agent for humans.
Zhou Duoduo also complained to Nie Wei about LEO, but Nie Wei didn't ask about it.
First, he didn't want to interfere with Wang Zhonglei's decision. This was a tacit understanding between the two for many years. Second, he felt that LEO's joining would be good for Huayi's trainees.
You should know that in the original time and space, after the millennium, it was Koreans who had always dominated the Asian idol market.
The reason why they have been able to dominate the Asian idol market for 20 years is because of the strict and even cruel trainee system. Under high pressure, almost all Korean trainees are in danger, fearing that they will become eliminated in this industry.
It is precisely because of this high pressure that these South Korean trainees have unique skills and first-class professional qualities, so that they can quickly capture the hearts of fans after their debut.
The trainee environment of Huayi is much better than those of Korean trainees. Even the trainees of S\u0026M, known as the idol dream factory, are far from being treated like this.
Moreover, Huayi not only treats trainees with generous contracts and provides them with great convenience in life, but also has world-class hardware. It has the most luxurious practice room in Asia, uses the world's top speakers, and even has a special leisure area, providing free snacks and drinks.
Perhaps it is because the environment and treatment are too good that Huayi's trainees have never been able to feel the sense of urgency of Korean trainees, so the appearance of LEO is just right, and it is time to put more pressure on these children.
In addition, Nie Wei has also discussed with Wang Zhonglei privately that the practice room will soon be split from Huayi's head office and become an independent entertainment company specializing in idols.
And this LEO is also the general manager of the company that the two have always thought to be the most suitable.
This is actually the promise that Wang Zhonglei gave to LEO when he poached him from that well-known entertainment company. Otherwise, this industry leader would not give up his former executive position and come to Huayi to be the director of a practice room.
Time has unknowingly arrived on September 25th, and the first Star Glory Ceremony will also be held at the Workers' Stadium in Kyoto.
Since Huayi can take out 17 million in prize money, it will naturally not be stingy on the actual cost of holding the award ceremony.
On that day, a 100-meter-long red carpet was laid out from the entrance of the Workers' Stadium, and exquisite barriers were pulled up around it. Dozens of security guards wearing sunglasses, black suits and white shirts stood on both sides of the red carpet and were ready for battle.
The construction of the stage also started two days ago.
Imitating the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, the entire award stage is constructed with movable LED screen blocks, explaining that in addition to the award presenters, there will be many heavyweight singers and actors performing together.
In addition, 5 million fireworks were prepared near the Workers' Stadium, ready to be set off at the end of the award ceremony, which will set off the momentum of the ceremony to a higher level.
In addition, in the Hilton Hotel in Kyoto, Huayi also contracted the most luxurious banquet room, where the ceremony banquet after the award ceremony will be held. In the early morning, the back kitchen of the Hilton Hotel ushered in a pile of precious ingredients with a total value of millions, which were all reserved for the evening ceremony banquet.
After Wang Zimu knew that he was shortlisted for the Star Awards, he was almost in a state of excitement for a month.
His good friend Li Yixian also knew that Wang Zimu was shortlisted for the Star Awards, and specially invited him to have a hot pot. When the old man at the newsstand knew that Wang Zimu was going to walk the red carpet and had no suitable clothes, he specially took out a set of his son's high-end suits and said he would lend it to Wang Zimu.
However, Wang Zimu was a little surprised when he put on the suit, because this suit fit him very well, as if it was tailor-made for him.
He was not stupid, and soon figured out that the old man said it was his son's clothes, and it was probably bought by the old man himself for Wang Zimu.
This kindness made Wang Zimu feel warm in his heart, and he vowed that if he became successful, he must repay the old man, and it would be best if he could win the award, so that he could thank the old man at the newsstand on the podium in front of the people of the whole country.
In addition to the suit, the old man also lent Wang Zimu a watch.
Apart from these, Wang Zimu does not need to worry about the rest. The organizers of the Starry Ceremony will provide Wang Zimu with transportation, and professionals will also come to tell Wang Zimu some things to note about attending the ceremony.
Wang Zimu studied very seriously, as if he had returned to the moment before the college entrance examination. When the Huayi staff taught him, he studied almost 200% seriously.
On the day, Wang Zimu found that his psychological preparation for a week was in vain. When he got on the Mercedes-Benz car provided by Huayi, the tension he had been suppressing suddenly broke out. The closer he got to the venue, the more nervous he felt. When he was close to the end of the red carpet, he even felt his body trembling.
He forgot how he got off the car. When he recovered, he only remembered that he hurriedly walked across the red carpet amid perfunctory cheers. On that road, the doubts he heard were louder than the cheers, as if many people were asking him who he was.
Wang Zimu recalled this and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Just as he was forcing himself to cheer up and waiting for the ceremony to begin, a man suddenly sat down next to him. Seeing Wang Zimu's unfamiliar face, the new man was obviously puzzled.
But after looking at Wang Zimu's outfit, especially the expensive watch on his wrist, the middle-aged man suddenly smiled brightly and took the initiative to greet Wang Zimu who was in a daze: "Hello, little brother, my name is Wang Mo, who are you?"
"My name is Wang Zimu." Wang Zimu hurriedly introduced himself.
"Ah, it's Wang Zimu, I know you, we were nominated for the Best Documentary Award together." Wang Mo was stunned for a moment, and then remembered why this name was so familiar.
But looking at Wang Zimu's young and tender face, and looking at his expensive outfit, Wang Mo secretly spit in his heart, thinking that Wang Zimu was just a rich kid with a good family, who had nothing to do and came to the entertainment industry to play.
Although Wang Mo despised him in his heart, the smile on his face did not diminish, but he chatted with Wang Zimu even more brightly.
After all, in Wang Mo's opinion, people like Wang Zimu will soon get tired of being a director, after all, being a director is so hard, but Wang Mo feels that he can still have a good relationship with this master, maybe he can get some funds from him in the future.
But what Wang Mo didn't expect was that Wang Zimu, who he was targeting, actually had no money in his pocket. His clothes were either given by others or borrowed, and he himself was actually a poor man who worried about rent every month.
