Chapter 1091 1191. Night
After a day of visiting, Wang Zimu felt that his horizons had been broadened and he was looking forward to the upcoming work.
After get off work, he had not forgotten his appointment with Liu Yi and quickly called him, Brother Liu.
Soon, Liu Yi drove a Mercedes-Benz to the entrance of Huayi.
"Zimu, get in the car, I'll take you to celebrate." Liu Yi rolled down the window and called Wang Zimu who was standing at the door. Wang Zimu then realized that the Mercedes-Benz was Liu Yi's. He thought Liu Yi would drive a nanny car to pick him up like the day of the "Starry Ceremony". He didn't pay attention to the Mercedes-Benz at all just now, and all his thoughts were on finding the nanny car.
After getting in the car, Wang Zimu told Liu Yi about this as a joke.
"Hahaha, brother, how can an artist take a nanny car every day? Besides, the driver has to go home after get off work. Moreover, the nanny car is too conspicuous. Driving it out is simply telling everyone that there is a star sitting in the car. It is too eye-catching." Liu Yi explained with a smile.
"I just saw it on TV, and thought you all used nanny cars for travel on weekdays." Wang Zimu scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
"Well, you do use nanny cars when you are working. If nothing else, the key is to rest. You don't know how tiring it is to film sometimes. The crew clearly notified that the scene was at 6 o'clock in the morning, but it might be postponed to noon or even in the evening because of a small accident. You can't leave and have to wait in the crew. If it is spring or autumn, it's okay, but it will be hard in the hot summer and winter."
"But it's different with a nanny car. There is air conditioning in the car. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. You can also sleep in. Even if you are rushing to perform commercial performances on weekdays, you can rest on the road."
"Don't talk about the car. Let's talk about you. How do you feel about going to work at Huayi today?" Liu Yi was talking when he found Wang Zimu secretly yawning. Obviously, he was not interested in this topic, so he immediately changed the subject.
When it comes to working at Huayi, Wang Zimu has a lot to say. Just when Liu Yi mentioned it, he immediately took over the conversation and started talking.
Liu Yi also looked yearning when he heard it. Of course, there was some truth and some falsehood in it, but at least Wang Zimu was very happy to see it.
The restaurant arrived soon. It was a private restaurant hidden in a residential area.
The cook was a man in his forties. He had a family-inherited skill and his Hangzhou cuisine was very authentic. Liu Yi introduced Wang Zimu to the boss and explained the boss's skills to Wang Zimu.
Wang Zimu felt that his saliva began to overflow just by listening to Liu Yi's introduction.
While the boss was cooking, Liu Yi mentioned Wang Zimu's contract. Wang Zimu was not on guard against Liu Yi at all and took out the contract for Liu Yi to see.
Looking at the Huayi logo on the contract, Liu Yi's eyes flashed with envy.
There are indeed many things that are worthy of envy in big companies, such as countless resources, top-level connections, and of course generous treatment. The first two cannot be reflected in the contract, but Liu Yi soon saw the generous treatment.
"Zi Mu, your company is really generous. There are even employee dormitories, two people per room. The specifications are good, and the key is that it is free. If you live in the dormitory, you can save at least the rent every month. There are also so many subsidies, meal subsidies, travel subsidies, call subsidies..."
"After reading this contract, I want to sign to Huayi, but unfortunately they don't like me." Liu Yi put down the contract with envy and self-mockery.
"Brother Liu, don't say that. If I do well in Huayi in the future, I will recommend you then." Wang Zimu hurriedly comforted Liu Yi.
Who knew that after hearing this, Liu Yi waved his hands repeatedly.
"Zi Mu, if this had happened 20 years ago, I would have been ecstatic. Forget it now. Huayi is full of talented people. I can't compete with them even if I go there. Besides, big companies are strict about the commissions they give to newcomers. I can't stand it if you ask me to be a newcomer at Huayi. I don't have the qualifications to be a boss. Forget it. If you make it, I will be grateful if you can help me and give me a few roles."
"Of course, Brother Liu, don't worry. I will never forget you if I have the chance." Wang Zimu patted his chest and promised.
"Brother, I am satisfied with what you said. But since you have just joined the company, it is most important for you to develop steadily. If you encounter any problems, you can ask me more. Don't you have my phone number? Don't be afraid of trouble. I am on duty 24 hours a day." Liu Yi recognized Wang Zimu's simple character. He was also very generous in his words and deeds, and he didn't care about Wang Zimu's trouble at all.
Wang Zimu was naturally very moved.
"Let's talk about your contract. There shouldn't be any traps, but I have some opinions. Do you want to hear them?" Liu Yi brought the topic back to the contract, and Wang Zimu nodded repeatedly.
"Look at the contract term first. Six years is very interesting. It's not long, but it's not short either. I guess Huayi is not sure about your potential, so they chose such a long-term contract."
"But one thing is certain, Huayi will definitely train you, and there is a certain plan, otherwise it wouldn't sign a six-year contract. I estimate that if nothing unexpected happens in the first two years, you may not have the opportunity to independently lead the crew. This should be a learning period and a performance period for you. If you meet Huayi's expectations for your growth, then you have a chance. If you don't meet Huayi's expectations for you, then you may be excluded from the training list."
"So, brother, you must work hard in the first two years. Don't be afraid of hardship. Learn as much as you can. This is an observation period. Whether you can make it in Huayi in the future depends on your performance in these two years." Liu Yi warned seriously.
Wang Zimu also nodded seriously and replied: "Brother Liu, don't worry. I didn't plan to enjoy myself when I entered Huayi. I certainly won't miss such a good learning opportunity. I think it's also very happy to work with so many excellent colleagues."
"I didn't realize that you have the potential to be a workaholic." Liu Yi smiled and patted Wang Zimu on the shoulder, teased, and then continued to bring the topic to the contract.
"We have analyzed the contract period. On the other hand, I can see from the treatment that Huayi still values you very much."
"Look at this one." Liu Yi pointed to the profit-sharing clause in the contract and said, "This kind of director's box office profit-sharing clause seems to be harsh and difficult to trigger, but it also represents Huayi's expectations of you. At least in this contract, it reflects that Huayi hopes that you can have the ability to independently direct a movie within six years, and they will definitely be willing to give you this opportunity at that time."
"Otherwise, they don't need to add this clause at all. Don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Zimu's eyes lit up when he heard it. He felt that Liu Yi's analysis was too correct. He was really full of energy at this moment. He wanted to go back to the company immediately to find a senior executive and ask to start working immediately, so as to achieve the goals set by the company for himself as soon as possible.
Liu Yi looked at Wang Zimu's high-spirited appearance and felt very satisfied.
What he said just now was actually just his guesses. His purpose was very simple, which was to let Wang Zimu see the goal through the contract and urge him to work hard. Wang Zimu was the most promising person he had. Although he was just a sapling at present, he might grow into a big tree one day.
And Liu Yi also sincerely hoped that Wang Zimu could cherish the opportunity to work in Huayi and not slack off, so as to avoid regrets in the future.
On the other side, after Zhou Duoduo returned to the practice room, she pulled Huang Ting over and quietly told her good friend the news that she had just received a promise from Nie Wei.
"Can I really go to "Infinite Challenge"?" Huang Ting asked in surprise.
Although the show "Infinite Challenge" has been running for nearly ten years, it is still the dominant variety show in China. If you can be on such a variety show after your debut, it will be a real surprise.
"My brother has already said that it can't be fake. Don't worry, I will take you to all the variety shows of Fanxing, not just "Infinite Challenge". Zhou Duoduo exposed Huang Ting's shoulders, acting like an older sister covering her younger sister.
Huang Ting shook Zhou Duoduo's arm away, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The two of them whispered in the corner, and there were people in the practice room who looked at the two people from time to time, especially Huang Ting. There were jealous, envious, and disdainful eyes.
The team is one, but it is not fair to be one.
Especially for a team with a large number of people, the competition for resources is more serious. After all, there are a number of resources, but it is not certain how much each person will get.
People like Zhou Duoduo who have a background naturally don't worry about resources, but others are different. They have to listen to the company's arrangements.
Huang Ting is different. Although she has no background, she has a good relationship with Zhou Duoduo. Seeing that the two of them always play together, others are envious.
After all, everyone knows that the closer you are to Zhou Duoduo, the more resources you will get in the future, especially in the early days of your debut, when you need resources to expand your popularity, this kind of relationship becomes more precious.
"Duoduo, Huang Ting, what are you talking about? You are laughing so happily."
"Nothing, we just suddenly thought of a joke." Zhou Duoduo pulled Huang Ting and replied with a smile.
"What joke is so funny, tell us too." Another trainee came over with a curious look on his face, and as she said this, almost everyone in the practice room looked at Zhou Duoduo.
"Okay." Zhou Duoduo's expression did not change, and she smiled and said: "We use 'rustic' to describe a person who is not fashionable, but you know how to describe a person as 'reinforced concrete'. How to explain this."
Everyone thought about it, and then shook their heads.
"Hahahaha, it's very simple, it just describes this person as stubborn and rustic, hahahaha." Zhou Duoduo explained while laughing wildly.
Others didn't know whether to laugh or not, so some people twitched their lips and smiled awkwardly, while some people simply rolled their eyes and didn't even bother to laugh.
Zhou Duoduo saw that no one was laughing, and she felt it was boring, so she stopped laughing immediately.
"Look, you didn't laugh after I told you, and you kept asking questions out of curiosity." Zhou Duoduo said, and then pulled Huang Ting out of the practice room.
"What kind of person is this? Don't you know how funny your jokes are?" After Zhou Duoduo and Huang Ting left the practice room, a girl complained in a low voice.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she was pulled by her friend next to her.
"Keep your voice down."
"I know, I just said it casually." The girl looked around guiltily, worrying whether someone would tell her and pass her complaints to Zhou Duoduo's ears.
That night, Liu Yi returned home. His wife could not help but complain when she smelled the alcohol on him. However, Liu Yi was not as impatient as usual. Instead, he was cheerful all the time.
"I was happy, so I drank a little more. It's rare to make a good friend. I'm happy."
"What kind of bad friends are these? They dragged you to drink so much. I don't think they are good."
"You don't understand. He is different. He is really different." Lying on the sofa, Liu Yi closed his eyes and muttered with a smile, letting his wife help him take off his wife's clothes, untie his tie, and feed him spoonfuls of honey water...
On the same night, Zhou Duoduo and Huang Ting lit a small lamp like a dandelion, sat on the carpet, and excitedly talked about which artists they would meet after their debut, or which variety show would be more interesting.
"I want to participate in the special episode of "Infinite Challenge". It's so exciting to watch it on TV. It must be more interesting to play it in person."
"I want to participate in "Longing for Life". I want to eat the food made by Teacher Huang, make friends with Teacher He, go fishing, chop wood, and farm..."
"Do you think the company will arrange for us to participate in "We Got Married"?"
"Hehe, if you participate, who do you want to be paired with?"
"You are so annoying. I won't tell you."
"Oh, you have thought about it, right? If you don't tell me, I can't guess. Let me guess..."
Girls' dreams are full of beauty, adding a different color to the quiet night.
In a small hotel in Kyoto, Wang Zimu was also dreaming. In his dream, he became a great director like Nie Wei, and the movie he made broke the box office record created by Nie Wei. At the celebration banquet, Nie Wei patted his shoulder to encourage him and told him that the future of Huayi depended on him...
"Hehe, hehe, hehe..."
"Who is next door? Can you stop laughing? It's too creepy!!!" A terrified roar sounded next door.
At the same time, in a beautiful manor in the suburbs of Beijing, Nie Wei was busy working in the study. Shu Chang heated up the milk and brought it into the room, just in time to see Nie Wei rubbing his philtrum.
"What are you still busy with so late?"
