Chapter 1133 1233. Interests and Sentiments
The few seconds while Nie Wei was thinking, Zhang Ziyi felt as if he had spent several long years suffering.
Nie Wei can be said to be the only strength she can rely on in the company. If Nie Wei is on the opposite side of her, she doesn't know whether she will have the courage to disclose her relationship with Wang Banbi.
"Zi Yi, because of the company's listing in recent years, some outsiders have poured in. They are businessmen, and they only use businessmen's brains to do things. They only consider the pros and cons in everything..."
Zhang Ziyi felt a little cold when she heard this, because Nie Wei's words sounded like a tactful rejection of her, but Zhang Ziyi didn't blame Nie Wei. After all, Huayi was not Nie's only personal company, as he said In this way, when Huayi goes public, the company will have many other factors.
Just when Zhang Ziyi was about to speak and take the initiative to back off, so as not to embarrass Nie Wei, Nie Wei's next words made her eyes moisten.
"They only consider interests, but ignore human feelings. But Huayi is still Huayi after all. Their approach will not work in Huayi, so please rest assured. I, and Brother Zhonglei, will we use our actresses?" If you want to make it public, I will be the first to agree. I believe Brother Zhonglei will make the same choice as me."
At this moment, Zhang Ziyi on the other side of the phone covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
The more she experienced, the more she was afraid of losing. Zhang Ziyi mustered up the courage and prepared to disclose her relationship with Wang Banbi. Naturally, she also hoped to get everyone's blessing, but the news from the company at that time gave her a huge blow.
If even the agency was not on her side, it would be hard for her to imagine the hardships and tests she would face if she insisted on making her relationship with Wang Banbi public.
But Nie Wei's stance gave her the warmest encouragement. She knew that she didn't have to face the world alone, and she had friends around her who supported her decision.
"Having said that, Zi Yi, you are thirty-seven years old. It's time for you to have a stable life. In short, I agree with the matter between you and Wang Banbi. As for the public issue, I won't do it later. I will discuss it with Brother Zhonglei, of course, don’t worry, let us make more preparations.”
"Well, I will listen to you." Zhang Ziyi wiped away the tears on her cheeks and said with a smile.
"Well, take a rest early. By the way, I also want to congratulate you on entering a new stage of life." Nie Wei congratulated with a smile.
"Thank you." Zhang Ziyi thanked her softly, and then waited for Nie Wei to hang up the phone before she put down her phone.
Nie Wei returned to the dining table. Shu Chang asked Nie Wei in a low voice what was going on. Nie Wei also explained in a low voice. Shu Chang was surprised that Zhang Ziyi wanted to make her relationship with Wang Banbi public. After all, Zhang Ziyi was at the peak of her career. , and this peak period was hard-won. Unexpectedly, she would choose to have a public relationship with Wang Banbi at this time.
"She's very courageous." Shu Chang said with an appreciative smile.
She felt that Zhang Ziyi's approach to love was very similar to hers. The same was true for her and Nie Wei at the beginning. Both of them were at the peak of their careers, but they boldly chose to make their relationship public and got married early, which shocked countless people. eyeball.
"Has the company agreed?" Thinking of this, Shu Chang asked quickly.
"Whether the company agrees or not, it's not up to me." Nie Wei replied with a smile. When Shu Chang heard this, he also showed a bright smile.
It is true that Huayi was founded by Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun, and it is true that Wang Zhonglei is responsible for the company's daily affairs. However, in terms of who has the highest prestige in the company, it is not Wang Zhonglei, but Nie Wei, who seems to be the boss.
First of all, Nie Wei is the company's largest shareholder. After several additional issuances, the stocks held by Nie Wei still account for about 39% of the total share capital of Huayi Company. For a listed company, Nie Wei holds The proportion of stocks is amazing.
This also has a lot to do with the sufficient liquidity in Nie Wei's hands. Nie Wei has followed up on several additional issuances of Huayi, and the proportion of stocks he holds has not dropped too much. In addition, Wang Zhongjun has fully launched Huayi. , basically all the stocks in his hands were divided up by Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei.
Secondly, there are seven seats on Huayi's board of directors, and Nie Wei occupies one seat. In addition, Luo Yuan, as the company's vice president, also occupies one seat. She is a member of Nie Wei's faction, which is known to the whole company.
But what everyone doesn't know is that a director who seems to be Wang Zhonglei's faction is actually from Nie Wei's side.
Of the seven seats on the board of directors, Nie Wei has absolute control over three. He only needs one of the remaining four to side with Nie Wei, and he will be invincible.
Of course, Nie Wei does not need to go to this step. The stocks in his and Wang Zhonglei's hands combined have exceeded 67%, reaching absolute control. As long as the two of them agree, Huayi will not There was a voice higher than both of them.
But Nie Wei had full confidence in persuading Wang Zhonglei.
On the other hand, Zhang Ziyi had already called Wang Banbi and told Wang Banbi the good news that Nie Wei supported their disclosure. Of course, she also told Wang Banbi not to take any action yet. Huayi still needed to prepare.
If Wang Banbi has anything else to say, just wait.
Huayi's original intention to make preparations seemed to be good for Wang Banbi. He was not afraid of boiling water and was fully prepared to withstand the attack of public opinion, but he did not want Zhang Ziyi to bear too much criticism.
Although many people in the outside world always say that he is a playboy and a scumbag, he feels that he just hasn't met the right person, and Zhang Ziyi is the right person he is waiting for.
She has a delicate and beautiful face and an elegant and extraordinary temperament. These are the charms that Zhang Ziyi can attract Wang Banbi at the first time, but what really makes Wang Banbi fall is Zhang Ziyi's gentleness and generosity as a woman.
Thinking about the objects that Wang Banbi has dated in the past, I always feel that those girls are really children. They will fight for love, but they will also become unreasonable when the heat of love decreases.
Wang Banbi can do it if he coaxes once, and he can also do it if he coaxes ten times, but after coaxing a hundred times, Wang Banbi feels that his patience has been exhausted, and the feelings will naturally no longer exist, and they will also break up.
But Zhang Ziyi is different. She didn't give Wang Banbi the feeling of a child. Although Zhang Ziyi would act like a spoiled child, she was just right. She would tickle Wang Banbi's heart and make him happy, but she wouldn't think it was excessive. Zhang Ziyi would get angry and have disputes with him, but Wang Banbi didn't need to bother to coax or persuade her afterwards. Zhang Ziyi would take the initiative to reconcile.
Although she is a big star, she is very good to her parents. When she goes to their home as a guest, she will take the initiative to do housework.
She even goes to the kitchen and cooks for her family. What surprised Wang Banbi was that Zhang Ziyi's cooking skills were not bad. She knew a lot of home-cooked dishes. Even his mother praised her with a thumbs up. In private, she also praised Ziyi more than once with Wang Feng.
What touched Wang Banbi the most was that Zhang Ziyi said that she only cooked for the man she loved.
She was also very good to her children. At first, Xiao Xueli could not accept Zhang Ziyi's intrusion into her life, and she had a few temper tantrums for this. Wang Banbi also scolded Xiao Xueli several times for this, but when Zhang Ziyi knew about these things, Wang Banbi lost the right to scold his daughter.
It was only half a month later that Wang Feng saw Xiao Xueli and Zhang Ziyi together again. The two were happily choosing clothes in a clothing store.
She was attentive to herself and her family. The key was that Zhang Ziyi's career was so successful. Such a good woman, Wang Banbi really regarded her as his partner for the rest of his life and wanted to grow old together.
After Wang Banbi knew Nie Wei's attitude, he put down most of his worries. Naturally, he had no objection to waiting for some time. He also knew that if an actress of Zhang Ziyi's level publicly revealed her relationship, it would definitely cause an uproar. If the preparation was not sufficient, it would really become a disaster.
A day later, Nie Wei and Shu Chang returned to Kyoto.
After getting off the plane, Nie Wei didn't even care about going home, and went to the company immediately.
Arriving at the company, Nie Wei went straight to the conference room, which was already full of people.
Zhang Ziyi came with her own management team. It is true that she is an artist of Huayi, but her management team is independent. Zhang Ziyi has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and has already had a familiar management team. After joining Huayi, the relationship between these people has also been merged into Huayi.
In theory, they belong to Huayi's staff, but in fact Huayi cannot command them. This group of people is only responsible for Zhang Ziyi's financial affairs, and Huayi must pay them wages and benefits.
This is the treatment of top stars.
Wang Banbi also came to Huayi today, but he brought an agent, and the main task of this agent today is to be a part-time driver. Wang Banbi wanted to wait until after the discussion today to invite Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei to dinner, and thought that he would definitely give them some wine at that time, so he brought the agent here.
Otherwise, with Wang Banbi's temperament, I am afraid that he would have to come alone.
Of course, only stars with no traffic would do this, and it is actually pitiful to think about it.
Wang Banbi didn't know how Nie Wei complained about him in his heart. After seeing Nie Wei, he smiled like a flower, shook hands with Nie Wei, and pulled a chair for Nie Wei. He was so enthusiastic that people who didn't know would think that Nie Wei was visiting his home.
In addition to the two protagonists, Wang Zhonglei was also present in the conference room, but his expression was not very clear.
Although Nie Wei had already informed him, Wang Zhonglei was a little upset when he thought that it was this big square-faced man in front of him who cheated his precious female star away.
It would be fine if you said that Zhang Ziyi wanted to find a big boss or a top male actor, but it happened to be a male singer like Wang Banbi who had no traffic. At this moment, Wang Zhonglei really wanted to use "flowers stuck in cow dung" to describe these two.
But what can we do? Just like Nie Wei said, the turtle and the mung bean are in love, and Zhang Ziyi likes them.
And what made Wang Zhonglei change his mind was also because of Nie Wei's words. He still remembers some of the ideas that Nie Wei persuaded him when he called him last night.
"Brother Zhonglei, I know that you have always wanted to imitate the professional model of WMA and CAA in the United States in managing your artists, but sometimes the environment is different and the management method cannot be copied. How could Wang Jinghua take away most of our company's artists just by talking? She relied on relationships."
"I know that it is wrong to pay too much attention to relationships, but in China, we really can't think of relationships as too profitable. Our Chinese society has always been a society of relationships. There must be rules, and relationships cannot be ignored. For a top star like Zhang Ziyi, we really can't just focus on the immediate benefits. Keeping her in the company for a long time will definitely create a lot of value that money can't achieve."
These words made Wang Zhonglei waver. Of course, the most important thing was what Nie Wei said at the end. Even if Zhang Ziyi made their relationship public, he would have a way to make up for this loss.
Since it was only a temporary gain or loss, Wang Zhonglei did not insist on opposing it, which led to today's meeting.
"I believe you all know why I called you here. I will say it directly. The company agrees that you should make your relationship public, including the current relationship and the marriage relationship in the near future. Of course, I also want to emphasize that since you have made your relationship public, you should understand how much pressure you will bear. This pressure will definitely exceed your imagination. I hope you can still stick to your original intention under pressure."
Although Nie Wei's words seemed to be spoken to Zhang Ziyi and Wang Banbi, he only stared at Wang Banbi the whole time. Anyone with a little insight would understand that this was Nie Wei's reminder to Wang Banbi.
Wang Banbi was not stupid. He naturally understood what Nie Wei meant and nodded in agreement.
Zhang Ziyi also spoke well of Wang Banbi, saying that Wang Banbi treated her very well and they had a lot in common. Nie Wei had nothing to say about this couple's relationship.
Nie Wei knew that the two had been together for three years and that they should have passed the normal period of love. They could still maintain a close relationship and even talk about marriage at this time. They must really get along well and it was not an impulsive decision made on impulse.
This was also one of the main reasons why Nie Wei agreed to them.
If Zhang Ziyi and Wang Banbi talked about marriage after only dating for a few months, even if Nie Wei was open-minded, he would definitely oppose it. Not only for the company's interests, but also for the happiness of Zhang Ziyi, his good friend.
"Since you have made preparations, we will also make preparations. In the near future, I hope you can go to Los Angeles, USA for a few days. I will arrange for the media to follow you. The reports of your relationship will appear abroad first, which will give China a buffer period..."
Nie Wei explained the countermeasures he had thought of during this period to Zhang Ziyi and Wang Banbi one by one. This explanation took two hours.
During this period, Wang Zhonglei also expressed his supportive attitude, and also promised that the company would respond with support as soon as the relationship between the two was announced, and the domestic media's public relations company would also do its best.
With these promises, Zhang Ziyi knew what was going on.
However, these were just measures to deal with public opinion after the relationship was announced. In addition, Nie Wei also wanted to give Wang Banbi some gifts, which were considered the company's dowry to Zhang Ziyi.
