Chapter 1223 1323. Regretful Actor
There are actually many excellent male actors of Nie Wei's generation.
For example, Lei Jiayin, who is a headache, although he does not look like a post-80s, he is actually only one year older than Nie Wei, and is also a recognized powerful male actor in the circle.
There is also Zhu Yawen, who used to be Nie Wei's roommate, who is also a powerful actor known for his acting skills, and Luo Jin, who is also Nie Wei's roommate, has a good reputation in the industry.
There are also Yuan Hong, Chen Weiting, including the younger Chen Xiao, Li Yifeng, Jing Boran, these post-80s male actors have already become the backbone of the circle.
Of course, when it comes to this generation of male actors, in addition to Nie Wei, the most commendable one, many people think of Hu Ge first.
There are even many people who feel sorry for Hu Ge, thinking that if he had not been dragged down by his agency, his achievements would not even be lower than Nie Wei. At least in terms of acting, many people think that Hu Ge's talent is not worse than Nie Wei.
Many people think that the reason why Hu Ge is getting further and further away from Nie Wei is that the gap between his original agency Tang Dynasty and Huayi is too big. Although Hu Ge quickly gained fame due to Tang Dynasty's initial support, it was also because of Tang Dynasty's limited production capacity that Hu Ge was unable to start his career in the golden period of development.
For such a first-line actor, if you look at his information, many people will be surprised to find that he has starred in less than five movies, and including guest appearances, his film works barely exceed ten.
Yuan Hong, who debuted with him and later switched to Huayi, is not as popular as him at present, but the number of movies he has starred in is more than double his.
Including Jing Boran and Li Yifeng, who are supposed to be his juniors, the number of movies starred in by Huayi is far more than that of this popular predecessor, not to mention the box office. The representative works of any of the above distances are higher than the box office of all Hu Ge's movies added together.
The reason is that Tang Dynasty Film and Television, the company behind Hu Ge, does not have the ability to produce commercial blockbusters, and even rarely produces low-cost art films. Look at the only two or three commercial films of Hu Ge, and the production company has nothing to do with Tang Dynasty Film and Television.
Why is this? Everything is naturally because of Cai Yinong, the actual person in charge of this company.
This woman is capable, but her overall view is limited. She has a precise grasp of the market, but she is timid and cautious. Over the years, Tang Dynasty Film and Television has actually performed well in TV series and made a lot of money. If it were a generally ambitious entertainment company, it would have tried a few movies to expand its business.
However, Tangren Film and Television has not made much progress in this regard, and all this is because Cai Yinong is familiar with the production of TV series and is not familiar with the production of movies, which makes her unwilling to touch another field.
As the head of a film and television production company, there is actually nothing right or wrong about this. After all, making TV series or movies is fine as long as it can bring profits to the company.
But she is also the boss of an agency, and her caution has harmed her artists, the most typical of which is Hu Ge.
You should know that Hu Ge became famous at a young age. He was one of the four young actors in ancient costume dramas at the age of more than 20 years old. That was also the period of his rapid growth as an actor. At this time, he should have been exposed to movies and stepped towards the big screen step by step. However, due to the limited vision of the company's leaders, he has been filming various ancient costume dramas for the company.
Although each drama has brought him a lot of popularity, his growth has also been delayed.
But Nie Wei is just the opposite. He doesn't have many works in TV dramas. After accumulating enough popularity, he plunged into the film industry, so he won the title of actor early and his career is booming.
"Hu Ge? Can he do it?" Wang Zhonglei didn't trust Hu Ge so much. After all, Hu Ge's current representative works are not many. Many of the TV dramas he filmed before were costume idol dramas. After all, Tang Dynasty Film and Television is good at producing this type of TV dramas.
"No problem. He is an actor with great ambitions and knows how to find his own way. Although he played many costume idol dramas in the past, he has been working hard to transform himself in recent years and has also filmed many life dramas. Besides, the character of Hou Liangping has a nickname called Monkey Boy. Hu Ge is very good at playing those clever roles."
"Besides, his age is more suitable." Nie Wei added.
"But he is an artist of Tang Dynasty Film and Television, right?" Wang Zhonglei muttered again, and Nie Wei understood that his old partner was afraid that the fat water would flow into the field of outsiders.
"He is a shareholder of Tang Dynasty Film and Television, but it seems that he has not signed an artist contract. Let me ask someone to find out." While speaking, Nie Wei took out his mobile phone and called Luo Kai, the intelligence agent, to inform him.
After receiving the task, the latter only took half an hour to get clear information from a former assistant of Hu Ge.
"Hu Ge did not sign an artist contract with Tang Dynasty Film and Television four years ago, and now it is a partnership." After hearing Luo Kai's report, Nie Wei conveyed the news to Wang Zhonglei.
"Then let someone come to the company for a talk, and it would be best if he can have another audition. If possible, ask if he can sign a contract. If so, let him act." Wang Zhonglei made up his mind that he had to give face to the candidate recommended by Nie Wei.
"Brother Zhonglei, your condition is just embarrassing. Forget it. I'll talk about this. I had some friendship with him at the beginning." Nie Wei rejected Wang Zhonglei's proposal. It was not easy to sign Hu Ge. The other party was already the boss of a film and television company, and he was very popular. It was difficult to sign such an artist even if he was under the Huayi brand.
Of course, Nie Wei would try it, and there were many ways to sign a contract. If he changed his mind, he would have more opportunities.
Nie Wei had Hu Ge's phone number. The two had not been in touch for many years. They only sent text messages to each other during the holidays. However, when you reach a certain status, you can pick up the relationship if you want.
Nie Wei found Hu Ge's phone number and sent a text message to invite him for tea.
In less than five minutes, Hu Ge replied to the text message, saying that he happened to be doing an event in Kyoto and would be on time. Nie Wei smiled when he saw the text message. Of course, he knew that Hu Ge was doing an event in Kyoto, otherwise he would not have invited him directly.
After all, Hu Ge's business activities were held in his home, the Starry Commercial Center.
The agreed time was two o'clock. At about half past one, Nie Wei arrived at the Opinion Tea House near the company in advance. Nie Wei really invited Hu Ge to drink tea. Before Hu Ge arrived, Nie Wei ordered a pot of Biluochun.
As soon as the waiter brought the tea set over, Hu Ge had already walked into the tea house in the drizzle.
Thanks to Fantasy Paradise for the generous reward.
