Chapter 1219 1319. Vast Difference
The scene was quiet for two or three seconds before applause broke out, but the staff were obviously not as excited as before.
After all, reshooting would take another hour or two, and they would have to work one or two more hours. No one would feel comfortable working for a longer period of time, even under Nie Wei's leadership.
Of course, except for the few Nie Wei fans in the advertising team, they wished they could hang around Nie Wei 24 hours a day.
At this time, Representative Li, who had finished communicating with the advertising company, stood up.
"In view of today's situation, on behalf of the company, I have decided to give all the staff on site a red envelope of 500 yuan. Please cheer up and try to complete today's work quickly. I will treat everyone to dinner in the evening."
Representative Li's words were beautiful enough. The staff, who were originally a little disappointed because of overtime, were all excited by the red envelopes and dinner at this moment.
You should know that the staff present are generally paid, that is, the lighting team leader and cameraman may be paid according to the work, but at most they can only make tens of thousands of yuan a month. As for the staff below, they only make about four or five thousand yuan a month, and as for the interns, it is not certain whether they can make two thousand or not.
This is also the current situation in the entertainment industry. The big money is actually divided by the company and the director, and the remaining soup and water are what these diligent staff can get.
Now Representative Li took out a red envelope of 500 yuan. If it was Director Steve, he would definitely not care about it, but for these ordinary staff, it is already a considerable income. Many people are thinking about whether to go out to improve their meals or buy a lipstick they have been fond of for a long time after getting this red envelope?
After boosting the morale of the staff, Representative Li walked to Nie Wei again and whispered, "The advertising company has already dealt with it. They are very angry about Steve's non-compliance with the contract and leaving midway, and they also expressed their sincere apologies to you and Miss Zhou Duoduo."
"In fact, your company is the one that suffered the most from this matter." Nie Wei said with a smile, not showing any concern at all, very generous.
Representative Li looked at Nie Wei, her eyes were almost twinkling with stars. Even though she had seen many handsome men in recent years, a man as stylish and elegant as Nie Wei still made her feel her heart beat faster, not to mention that he was rich and talented.
Representative Li felt that if she was 20 years younger, she would really have thoughts about the man in front of her. She knew that he was married, but she would still approach him like a moth to a flame.
After being lost for a moment, Representative Li's eyes became clear again.
Representative Li, who was able to become the deputy manager of the market development department of Coca-Cola China, was not one of those girls who only had fantasies in her head. She admired Nie Wei very much, but it was only admiration. The focus was still on the shooting task.
"I have read the advertising copy. The idea is good, but there are a few details that need to be reconsidered. Let me talk about it. If you think it's okay, we will try it during the shooting later." Nie Wei said while holding the advertising copy. Representative Li did not agree or disagree, and was ready to listen to Nie Wei's opinion first.
Of course, Representative Li was still looking forward to it. Nie Wei was a world-class director, and he had always written and directed his own works. His talent was recognized as strong. Anyone with a little knowledge would look forward to the suggestions made by such a person.
Nie Wei spoke, Representative Li listened, and after two minutes, Representative Li's expectation turned into admiration.
What is a world-class director and what is a true genius? She saw it today. The advertising company, including her group, spent a whole month to discuss and come up with what they thought was a perfect advertising plan, but in this time, Nie Wei had already made no less than three suggestions.
From the plot to the lines, and even the interaction between the protagonist and the supporting actors, Nie Wei's insights were more than one level higher than everyone else. The more Representative Li thought about the changes he made, the more reasonable he felt, and the happier he was.
In Representative Li's opinion, with the changes made by Nie Wei, the quality of this advertising film could be improved by at least half a level.
Just for this improvement, Representative Li felt that Nie Wei's words were worth a million.
After the filming started, she felt Nie Wei's strength even more.
Including the staff, they all truly experienced the difference in the working methods of the two directors, and even the gap in their abilities.
Originally, in the eyes of the staff, Steve was a very capable director, otherwise he would not have become a tyrant on the set of the advertising industry. If he had no ability and was a bit pretentious, he would have been out of the game long ago.
So Steve still had some talent, but his ability was far different from Nie Weiyi's.
First of all, the two of them were very different in terms of how they treated people.
Steve was a hardliner, and he would not tell you the reason. He would just tell you how to do it, and if you couldn't do it, it was because you were not capable enough.
Nie Wei would chat with you in a negotiating tone, telling you that you could try to do it later. Sometimes if you didn't understand, you could ask him a question, and Nie Wei would patiently tell you the reason for doing it, which made people convinced.
Of course, it seemed like a negotiation, but it was actually an irresistible result, but it was different from Steve's irresistible result.
Nie Wei relied on his ability, and he would tell you clearly why he did it, while Steve relied purely on his domineering nature, and the staff naturally preferred Nie Wei, who was easy to communicate with.
In addition, Nie Wei is much more efficient than Steve.
This group of staff members had worked with Steve for a longer time, but after Nie Wei took over the advertising team, it took less than half an hour to integrate the staff, and the subsequent shooting was extremely smooth, and the efficiency was much higher than when Steve was directing.
Even Representative Li was very surprised, but gradually he saw the way.
It's not that the staff members really exploded, from earthlings to super Saiyans, and 90% of all this is due to Nie Wei's on-the-spot command ability.
Looking at Nie Wei, Representative Li thought of a poem, thinking back to the time when Gongjin was young, Xiao Qiao was just married, handsome and heroic, with feather fans and scarves, talking and laughing, masts and oars were reduced to ashes. Anyway, she felt that Nie Wei was like Governor Zhou in the Three Kingdoms, who was in control of the whole crew and knew everything.
Gradually, the staff also found something wrong, because it was too smooth.
At lunch time, everyone chatted while eating, and suddenly realized that three quarters of today's commercial had been shot. This speed is too fast.
You know, when Steve was directing in the past, it was already amazing for Steve to finish shooting within the stipulated day. Sometimes he even had to postpone it. Of course, according to Steve, that was the pursuit of excellence in advertising, and the manufacturers generally accepted it. What else can they do?
But it was different when working with Nie Wei. I felt that there was no tense and urgent feeling when Steve was present, but the progress was fast, and the entire commercial was almost finished easily.
If we continue shooting at this speed, I am afraid that everyone will leave work early, not to mention overtime.
"As expected of a great director, he is so amazing. Even ten Steves tied together can't compare to his on-the-spot command."
"Let alone ten, I think a hundred tied together would be useless. This is the gap between ordinary people and geniuses."
"Everyone should be more serious in the afternoon. We can learn a lot from filming with a great director like Nie Wei, even if it is just an advertisement. Maybe we can rely on the knowledge we learned today to succeed in the future."
"When you say that, I really feel that I have grown a lot in the past half day."
"I just don't know if we can get 500 yuan if we get off work early. I am thinking of taking this red envelope to take my family out for a buffet hot pot."
The staff talked and laughed, and rested for another hour. They continued filming on time for the next two days in the afternoon.
Although everyone had a good feeling about the progress of the commercial shooting, when the shooting ended at 3:30 in the afternoon, everyone still felt unrealistic.
The commercial that usually takes more than ten hours to shoot was completed in less than five hours today.
"For editing, grasp a few key words, sunshine, youth, and vitality. Cutting fewer long shots will make the commercials drag. Young people should be vigorous and fearless." After shooting the commercial, Nie Wei did not forget to tell Representative Li.
Representative Li quickly used the recording software to record Nie Wei's words. In fact, she wanted to tell Nie Wei that he would be responsible for editing.
But when the words came to her lips, Representative Li was still embarrassed to say it. Nie Wei's help in shooting was already a great help. Asking the other party to edit, not to mention whether Nie Wei would agree, was really too much. Even as a businessman, Representative Li was embarrassed to speak.
The staff finished work early, which should have been a happy thing, but now everyone was a little nervous. Representative Li wanted to laugh and reiterated that the 500 yuan reward would remain unchanged. Everyone was happily chatting about what to eat for dinner in the evening.
Representative Li took this opportunity to invite Nie Wei again. Nie Wei wanted to refuse, but the program team thought that a dinner party was a good choice as the finale, so Nie Wei agreed.
Shu Chang, Zhou Duoduo and the team of "One Day Star Assistant" also got on the bus.
The dinner party was not held in a big hotel. If only Nie Wei, Shu Chang and even Zhou Duoduo were invited, Representative Li would definitely choose a place with high standards. If only everyone was invited, a more civilian restaurant would be more appropriate. After all, don't make a happy thing embarrassing. Ordinary people will not enjoy it after entering such a high-standard place. Instead, they will become constrained and uncomfortable.
After soliciting everyone's suggestions, the final dinner party was decided at a barbecue restaurant.
Unlike the north, barbecue in the South China Sea is mainly based on seafood. After all, people live by the mountains and eat by the sea. There are also many local fruits on the table, such as bananas, mangoes, and of course coconut milk.
The meal lasted nearly two hours, during which many staff members came to Nie Wei to ask questions, and Nie Wei patiently answered them all. The program team found that something was wrong. Zhou Duoduo, who was supposed to be the protagonist, was completely ignored by everyone beside Nie Wei. It can only be said that the aura of a superstar is really terrible.
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, Nie Wei and Shu Chang are the assistants in this episode. It would be better to treat these two as the protagonists. It would be more prestigious to promote them than Zhou Duoduo, a popular idol.
Zhou Duoduo didn't know that she had changed from the protagonist to the supporting role in her own program, but even if this girl knew it, she wouldn't care.
Although they had eaten for two hours, it was actually just past six o'clock. Nie Wei and his companions left the restaurant with everyone's farewell.
"You think Steve will be scolded by the boss when he goes back?" Zhou Duoduo couldn't help asking in the nanny car. She felt very happy when she thought of Steve being scolded by their boss like a grandson.
"Not necessarily. It depends on whether Coca-Cola will put pressure on him." Shu Chang replied with a smile.
"Representative Li will definitely not let Steve go. If an advertising director dares to quit halfway, any manufacturer representative will be furious, let alone Coca-Cola. This matter is probably not over. Steve is in big trouble." Meisha also laughed at the side.
Han Li and other assistants also showed an expression of understanding at this moment. It was enough to know that Steve was going to be unlucky.
Nie Wei did not join this discussion circle, but thought about the words that Representative Li said when he said goodbye to them.
"Boss Nie, thanks to your generous help today, don't worry, I will report to the company later and will definitely promote Duoduo as the spokesperson for Fanta more attentively."
"I also hope that we can have more opportunities for cooperation in the future. Whether it is an artist under Huayi or Fanxing, we will definitely give priority to them."
Nie Weiyi understood the meaning of the first sentence of Representative Li's words. This was a hint that he would increase the publicity investment for Zhou Duoduo in future publicity.
Of course, this money will not go into Zhou Duoduo's pocket, but it will be spent on Zhou Duoduo.
For example, Coca-Cola originally wanted to invest 100 bus billboards of Zhou Duoduo in a certain city, but because of the favor he helped today, these 100 billboards may become 200.
Of course, this is also a mutually beneficial thing. When promoting Zhou Duoduo, they are also promoting their own products.
As for the second sentence, Nie Wei just listened to it. The spokesperson of Coca-Cola's core products is not something that can be decided by Representative Li. Of course, his help today may help his artists gain some points when they compete for endorsements in the future, but it still depends on the popularity and image of the artists themselves.
Nie Wei, who was thinking about what he had gained today, was suddenly interrupted by the ringing of his mobile phone. He took it out and saw that it was a text message. After reading the content, Nie Wei was thoughtful. He really didn't expect that Liu Jing's brother would chase him to Nanhai.
Nie Wei knew what he was thinking, but did he think Nie Wei was made of dough?
After that kind of thing happened, whether it was intentional or unintentional, Nie Wei wanted to meet this person and ask him in person if he had any shame?
Thanks to Fantasy Paradise and Crazy Fat Elephant for their generous rewards.
