Chapter 1092 1192. Be alert

"Here, this." Nie Wei handed the novel "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" to Shu Chang, then took the milk and said thank you.

Shu Chang opened the novel and found that it was all in English.

"Ms. Rowling mailed the original novel from the UK. I think reading this can better understand the author's thoughts when writing the book." Nie Wei explained with a smile.

Just like the ancient Chinese articles, two people translate them, and the general meaning may be the same, but the details will always be different, because each translator has different ideas and naturally looks at the text from a different perspective.

The same is true for these foreign novels. After all, the translation carries the translator's personal perspective. It is better to read the original and experience the author's feelings when writing the book from your own perspective. Moreover, Nie Wei can communicate with Rowling by reading the original.

For example, he has a note on his desk at this time, which contains many paragraphs that Nie Wei thinks are worth discussing. These are all to be discussed with Rowling. At least we need to know how Rowling imagined the story and the characters when she wrote these.

Shu Chang flipped through two pages and returned the book to Nie Wei. Although she could speak English well, her reading ability was not strong. She could only half understand and half guess when reading this kind of English novel, which looked very boring.

"Don't be busy too late. Drink milk and read for a while before going to bed." Shu Chang hugged Nie Wei's neck from behind, gently left a sweet kiss on his cheek, and left the study.

Although Nie Wei promised Shu Chang that he would not be busy too late, when he put away the novel, it was still past twelve o'clock. When he came to the bedroom, Shu Chang had fallen asleep.

Looking at Shu Chang curled up like a kitten, Nie Wei couldn't help laughing.

As Shu Chang's pillow, Nie Wei knew clearly that Shu Chang's height was far less than the 163CM written in the public information. It might be only 160CM, or even less.

However, the girl was born well, with perfect body proportions, legs, waist, chest, and a small face as big as a palm. In addition, with a good temperament, she always gave people the illusion of being 1.7 meters tall in the camera.

In this regard, Zhou Xun, whom I met today, is also the same. Xun Geer even has a nickname of "little supermodel". Of course, she herself does not like this title. She always feels that it emphasizes that she is short. Although this is true, it is just like a fat person always does not like others to say that he is fat.

Nie Wei walked to the head of the bed, turned off the desk lamp gently, then climbed onto the bed on tiptoe, and carefully pulled open the quilt...

"Honey, what time is it?" Shu Chang's dazed voice sounded.

"Twelve o'clock, go to bed." Nie Wei replied softly, then put one hand around Shu Chang's arm and let the girl's head rest on his chest.

Shu Chang moved, like a kitten, and then smacked her lips happily, and soon fell asleep again.

Half a month passed unknowingly, but Nie Wei's life did not change much. Every day, he edited "Interstellar", studied the instruments needed for the soundtrack, or went to the special effects company to give some advice.

But for many people, the life of half a month was very different from before.

In half a month, Zhou Duoduo has gotten used to being woken up by the director of the program knocking on the door early in the morning, and also used to having a camera around her. She is even more used to the director of the LEO department cheering them up every day like a chicken blood.

I heard that the company has already confirmed the date of the debut, which will be early next year, but Zhou Duoduo doesn't know the specific time. She also asked Nie Wei out of curiosity, but Nie Wei talked her head off in a few words. In the end, she didn't get an answer from Nie Wei after a long time.

In fact, Nie Wei doesn't know the answer either.

It is certain that the new girl group will debut at the beginning of next year. Many of the company's current arrangements are actually paving the way for the new girl group.

For example, the company's previous generation girl group Rainbow Group will start its Asian tour concert at the beginning of next year. The key tour concert will start in Kyoto, but the second concert will be held in Seoul, and then Busan, Tokyo, Osaka, Formosa, and Southeast Asian countries. After this tour, it will take at least half a year to tour the country.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is obviously Huayi Company letting Rainbow Group give way to the new girl group.

After all, if the Rainbow Group is very popular and at its peak, if it stays in China, even if Huayi supports a new girl group, it will be difficult for it to stand out. The key is that it will cause an embarrassing situation of one's own people fighting against one's own people.

And by letting the Rainbow Group go to Asia to expand its popularity, the domestic market vacancy left behind will naturally be filled by the new girl group. When the Rainbow Group comes to China for a tour, the popularity of the new girl group will have stabilized.

And many people have also heard rumors that Huayi has prepared a lot of resources for the new girl group, such as variety shows, advertisements, documentaries before debut and group variety shows after debut. There are even rumors that the company will prepare a separate interview program for the new girl group, which will be led by a well-known host from Taiwan. In each episode, one or two members of the new girl group will be invited as assistant hosts to interview celebrity artists.

This news really makes many people jealous and envious.

You have to know that this is not just a matter of exposure. Celebrity talk shows have always been a powerful tool for expanding personal connections. In addition, since it is hosted by Huayi, all kinds of big-name stars can be invited. The program will not have to be run for too long. In a year, a few girls can establish strong personal connections that many people in the circle will not be able to establish in their entire lives.

For this reason, many people privately said that Huayi's new girl group can have such resources because Nie Wei's sister is in the group.

Zhou Duoduo once again stood at the forefront of the storm, although it was limited to Huayi Company, but fortunately Zhou Duoduo was already used to it and was not greatly affected.

In addition, Wang Zimu also became familiar with Huayi's life during this period.

The second day after he joined the company, he moved from the small hotel to Huayi's double dormitory. The conditions made him very satisfied. Not only did the dormitory have an independent bathroom, but there was also a small kitchen for cooking.

In addition, there was a small refrigerator and air conditioning, which can be said to be very well equipped.

The roommate was also good. He was a big boy from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, two years younger than Wang Zimu. He worked in the company's security department. Wang Zimu heard from him that he was recommended to Huayi after he was discharged from the army.

In recent years, Huayi's security department has expanded to more than 120 people.

In addition to maintaining the company's security on a daily basis, the staff of the security department will also appear as security personnel at some commercial activities and award ceremonies. Sometimes, they will also become bodyguards for the company's artists when necessary.

Most of these security guards are veterans, which can help the army share the pressure.

Of course, it is also related to the high quality of veterans. Soldiers from the army are disciplined, abide by the rules, work seriously, and look very handsome when they are pulled out with straight backs.

So this is a cooperation that is mutually beneficial. Huayi helps to solve the employment problem of veterans, and Huayi can also gain good talents.

And because Huayi offers good treatment, Huayi security has become a popular position, and many soldiers are willing to work in Huayi.

After all, if you work as a security guard in other places, you can only get 2,000 to 3,000 yuan a month, and the best treatment is only 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. But at Huayi, the basic salary of security guards is 6,000 yuan, and it will increase if you work for a year and perform well. If you can become a security captain, you can get a salary of more than 10,000 yuan, which is higher than the income of some white-collar workers.

Such good treatment is of course scrambled for, after all, the number of places is very limited, and Huayi cannot recruit security guards endlessly.

Wang Zimu and his roommate Xiaonan got along very well. After all, they were both young people. When Xiaonan learned that Wang Zimu was a director and had been shortlisted for the first "Star Festival", he showed great admiration, which made Wang Zimu very satisfied and felt that he had gained the first fan in his life.

During this period, Wang Zimu also took time to return to Mingzhu City and treated the old man to a meal. By the way, he also wanted to return the watch.

He later checked the price of the watch online, and he was really shocked. Looking at the six-digit number, he finally understood why the director named Wang Mo mistook him for a rich second generation.

If this watch is sold, it will be enough for him to shoot another documentary like "The Drifters".

But when he took out the watch and prepared to return it to the old man, the old man refused.

The old man told Wang Zimu that this was originally a gift for him, and he also said that men always have to have a good watch.

Wang Zimu returned to Kyoto wearing that watch. Since then, Wang Zimu has worked more seriously and actively, and he would even rush to do many jobs that were not his.

Because he wanted to be independent as soon as possible so that he could repay the old man's kindness.

And in the past half month, Max Films, which is far away on the other side of the ocean, has also ushered in a major event, that is, Keanu Reeves, once a top star in Hollywood, signed a contract with Max Films and became the second male actor under this film and television company.

At the same time as Keanu Reeves joined Max Films, there was also the little girl Foy, but in the eyes of the media, this good girl is still a little transparent for the time being, and everyone's focus is on Keanu.

Many media are very curious, why Keanu, who is nearly 50 years old, signed a contract with a film and television company at this time?

After all, in their opinion, even if Keanu wants to sign an agency, it should at least be a giant like CAA or WMA. Why would he choose a film and television company like Max Films that doesn't even seem to have a professional agency team?

And Keanu also gave his answer in an interview.

"Because I have a very pleasant cooperation with Nie Wei, this is why I signed with Max Films. This is a great company, because its boss is called Nie Wei. I believe that after I join, this company will be even greater and more glorious."

Keanu said it very ambitiously, but the media disagreed.

Keanu is not young anymore. He is almost fifty years old and has almost reached the end of the golden age of a male actor. Even if he maintains well, he can't resist the passage of time. In another five or six years, Keanu will completely enter the ranks of elderly actors.

So many people in Hollywood laughed at Nie Wei and Keanu, thinking that it is a foolish dream to want to make a company great with an actor who is about to enter old age.

This is as ridiculous as the Wizards signing 38-year-old Jordan to establish a dynasty, even if he was once the god of basketball, even if Keanu was once a top Hollywood star, but this is a very ridiculous thing, after all, the past is the past, and the present is the present.

However, Max Films seemed very calm about the ridicule from the outside world.

Joseph, the only male actor signed by Max Films before, immediately welcomed the joining of Keanu and Foy on Twitter.

Nie Wei followed closely, posting on Twitter and Weibo to welcome Keanu's joining, and praised Keanu as one of the greatest male actors in the new century. He would cherish the opportunity to work with Keanu in the future, and said that the two of them would definitely create brilliance together.

Of course, Nie Wei did not forget to welcome Foy's joining, and he liked this little girl very much.

Sensible, obedient, and spiritual, in Nie Wei's eyes, Foy has the potential to grow into a Hollywood star, the key is that her personality makes Nie Wei like her very much. You know, young girls in Hollywood admire rebellion the most, whether it was Britney Spears at the beginning, or the later rock queen Avril, or Lindsay, etc.

And Foy, who is like a good girl, is extremely special.

Others may think that Foy is too quiet and has no personality, but in Nie Wei's eyes, the well-behaved Foy is the ideal candidate for training in his mind. He never requires his actors to have multiple personalities in daily life. As long as they can show their unique charm in the movie, it is enough. It is better to be quiet in life.

The two signings of Max Films soon calmed down, leaving only some jokes that are still circulating on the Internet.

However, for some people, the two signings of Max Films made them wary.

CAA headquarters in the United States.

As a super agency that controls 30% of Hollywood actors, its status is transcendent.

Even those large film companies in Hollywood often have to look at CAA's face, after all, they control the final link of the film, that is, talent.

Such a behemoth, he has the capital to look down on Hollywood, and is also always alert to the emergence of new threats. It is like a lion. Hollywood is his territory. Anyone who dares to invade his territory will be torn to pieces by it.

And the recent actions of Max Films have caught the eyes of a senior CAA executive.

In his opinion, Nie Wei from the East has never been the kind of person who is willing to be ordinary. Just like he built a galactic battleship-like agency in China, he never believed that Nie Wei would be so honest and low-key in Hollywood.

And the signing of Keanu by Max Films is like a signal, which makes him wary.

Thanks to Qiang love Rong for the generous reward of 2000, and thanks to Fantasy Paradise, 0773, and A65421012 for their generous rewards.
