Chapter 1224 1324. Incitement

June in Kyoto has entered the rainy season. Perhaps because there was not much snow last winter, it rained extraordinarily heavily in Kyoto this year, and it lasted for two or three days at a time.

But for Kyoto people, as long as there are no violent storms, the longer the rainy season is, the better.

Because no matter it is raining or has stopped raining, the air in Kyoto will be very fresh, the sandstorms are gone, and the hot weather is gone. Two days ago it was still in the 30s, but when it rains, the temperature drops directly. When it reaches 20 degrees, it is refreshing and cool, and very comfortable.

And this kind of drizzle weather is also a good weather for drinking tea.

For example, in ancient times, many houses in the South would have a patio when they were built. The so-called patio is an open space enclosed between the houses in the house. It looks like a well, but of course it has nothing to do with the well. .

However, many such houses will have a shallow rainwater pool in the open space. When it rains, the rainwater pool will be filled with water. This main function is to store water and prevent fire, because most of the buildings in the south are wooden structures. It is easy to catch fire.

Of course, this rainwater tank can also be used for washing clothes, etc., and you don’t have to worry about disposing of the used dirt. Generally, such a rainwater tank will have a gate reserved, and after opening, it will flow out along the drainage channel.

Of course, doing this in modern times is of little use. Dry powder fire extinguishers are much easier to use than ordinary water. As for washing clothes, after all, compared with the pure rainwater in ancient times, the rainwater prevalent in modern industry is actually a bit dirty.

The function of the patio, in addition to storing water, is also a kind of fun.

Whenever it rains, local families will put tables and chairs under the eaves, boil a pot of hot tea, watch the rain fall, and play the tinkling music from nature. Hot tea and cold rain are two different things. Great taste.

Nie Wei longed for that kind of life, and planned to put down all worldly affairs when he turned 40, and then take his family and children to the south to live that kind of life. Of course, all this was still Nie Wei's fantasy, and in fact it was not very possible.

After all, the total number of employees in Nie Wei's companies now exceeds 20,000, not counting the small companies that survive with Huayi and Fanxing, plus the families of these workers, Nie Wei's every move is actually It will affect the lives of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

Nie Wei's thoughts were interrupted by Hu Ge who had just entered. After regaining consciousness, Nie Wei reached out and asked Hu Ge to sit down.

"Sorry to ask you to come out in this kind of weather." Nie Wei didn't expect it to rain today. The weather forecast was cloudy today and it would rain in the evening, but it was ahead of schedule.

Hu Gelian said it was okay, not to mention that it was just a little rain outside, and he came by car, so he didn't get much water at all. Even if it rained heavily and he was soaked in water, Nie Weixiang invited him to come.

Because Hu Ge knew very well that Nie Wei would not come to drink tea with him for nothing, so he would only ask him to come if something happened.

Sure enough, after a few words of greeting, Nie Wei took out the novel he had prepared long ago from his briefcase and handed it to Hu Ge.

"Have you read this novel?" Nie Wei asked.

Hu Ge took the novel, shook his head, and answered honestly: "I haven't read it."

"Teacher Zhou's novel is about fighting corruption and upholding integrity." Nie Wei gave a brief introduction, and then said: "Huayi's main drama this year is this one. Huayi will invite many veteran actors to star in it. With a gathering of stars, it is natural to find an actor who can compete with the seniors in acting. Wang Zhonglei asked me, and I recommended you. "

After finishing speaking, Nie Wei picked up the teacup in his hand and waited for Hu Ge's answer.

Hu Ge was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said humbly: "Brother Nie Wei, you have given me a compliment. I am a junior. How dare I compare myself to my seniors? I still have many shortcomings."

"If I say you can do it, then you must do it. You just need to tell me if you are willing to play the leading role." Nie Wei put down the teacup and asked directly.

Hu Ge smiled faintly, thinking that Nie Wei was worthy of being the leader of a large group. He was obviously asking himself, but he had the feeling of telling the truth.

After thinking about it, Hu Ge did not agree immediately, but asked tentatively: "Brother Nie Wei, can you tell me your conditions?"

It has been thirteen years since Huge made his official debut. He is no longer the ignorant young man he was back then. He knows that everything in this circle is often accompanied by an exchange of interests. He used to have a good relationship with Nie Wei, who made him famous at a young age. In "Fairy Sword", he was able to star in it because of Nie Wei's help.

However, over the years, as the gap in status between the two parties has become wider and wider, this relationship has long faded. He does not think that Nie Wei can take the leading role in Huayi's annual drama just based on the little friendship at the beginning. Give it to yourself, even if Nie Wei agrees, will other people in Huayi Company agree?

It takes almost no thought to get to the only answer.

Nie Wei smiled. It was convenient to talk to smart people. Thinking of this, he said directly: "Two choices."

"The first option is that you sign a four-year contract with Huayi. In addition to the leading actor in this movie, Huayi will also guarantee to give you the opportunity to be the leading actor in at least two movies in the next four years. In addition, the contract will be divided into companies We only charge a nominal fee of 10%, and we will also set up a professional brokerage team for you.”

After hearing this, Hu Ge's first thought was that this was a very generous contract.

Regarding Hu Ge's current status in the entertainment industry, Huayi's contract can be said to be full of sincerity. Whether it is the contract share or some of the guarantees and benefits, it can be said that it gives him full respect.

"Brother Nie Wei, what about the second option?" Hu Ge continued to ask without giving it much thought.

"I knew you would ask that. The second choice is very simple. It's a one-part deal, four years and five plays, divided into eighty-two." Nie Wei said the second choice.

This kind of contract is originally a specialty of TVB. To put it bluntly, the artist who signs this contract is a non-staff artist to the company, and you have to show up when the company needs you.

At the same time, the benefits that officially contracted artists enjoy are not available to the artists contracted by the department, such as accommodation, management teams, nanny cars, etc. These artists contracted by the department are not available. , and the company will definitely not vigorously cultivate the artists who have been contracted by Bu, so those truly high-quality resources generally do not get the turn of artists who have been contracted by Bu.

Compared with formal artists, they are just temporary workers.

Of course, the benefits are also obvious, that is, freedom of movement. Except for filming for the company, other companies will not care.

Nie Wei gave two options. One may be tied to Huayi's warships, but can also enjoy Huayi's high-quality resources. The other does not need to be tied to Huayi's warships and is free enough. Of course, in terms of resources, Not as lucrative as the previous option.

Hu Ge was silent, feeling a little hard to make a decision for a while.

Nie Wei looked at the hesitant Hu Ge and suddenly asked: "Hu Ge, you have always called me brother, but in actual age, you should be older than me, right?"

"Yes, I was born in 1981." Hu Ge replied very calmly. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Nie Wei's achievements were even higher. When he debuted, Nie Wei was already a well-known actor in China. His name was The word "brother" means closeness and respect. This is very common in the industry and is not uncommon.

What he was curious about was why Nie Wei suddenly mentioned age.

"You were born in 1981, so you will be thirty-seven this year..."

"My birthday is in September, and I'm not even thirty-seven yet." Brother Hu interrupted Nie Wei for the first time. For an actor, age is a very sensitive topic, even for male actors.

"Okay, let's count you as thirty-six years old." Nie Wei laughed, and then said seriously: "Thirty-six years old is not young anymore. Do you really not want to develop into the film industry?"

"While you are still young, while you still have a chance, if you don't try again, you will miss a lot." Nie Wei took the initiative to change Hu Ge's cup of hot tea and then advised.

Hu Ge held the tea cup and did not drink. Instead, he was persuaded by Nie Weiwei's words and fell into deep thought.

He is thirty-six years old. At this age, he can already be called a middle-aged actor. Thinking about his ambitions when he graduated from film school, and looking at his achievements in the industry now, he cannot say that he is dissatisfied. , but it is obviously impossible to say that I have no regrets at all.

He is aware of the deformity of his career development. His works are too concentrated on TV series, and many younger generations have made better achievements in movies than him.

And as the Chinese film market is getting better and better, it is really a big disadvantage for an actor to not have a good film masterpiece.

But Hu Ge was really not mentally prepared for transitioning into a film actor.

After filming TV series for more than ten years, this circle has long become his comfort zone. This is very similar to his boss Cai Yinong. Hu Ge has also been transforming this year, but in fact, he is more involved in the TV circle. The transformation from idol drama to daily life drama is within his control.

But movies are different.

Filming movies and filming TV series are completely different. The requirements for acting skills, the control of rhythm, and many other things are different. This does not mean that you will be good at acting.

For example, many boxers who have won medals in the Olympics will choose to compete professionally, but not many of them are successful. Many people will wonder, since they win the Olympic championship, they should be the strongest in the world, right? But it really isn't.

Because the Olympics has many rules, these players will compete within the limits of these rules. The same is true for TV dramas. Idol dramas should be unattainable, and life dramas should be down-to-earth. Many times these rules also limit the players or actors. of play.

But when these Olympians went to compete professionally, they discovered that the rules that were originally beneficial to them were gone. No one restricted them, and no one restricted their opponents. So even if it was still a boxing match, even if they had already competed in the Olympics Even though you have won a medal, sometimes you may still be defeated when you meet some unknown professional boxers.

So Boxing King Zou is really powerful, Niu Bei.

The same goes for movies. There are fewer restrictions and more room for actors to perform. But many times, when actors who have been restricted by TV series for a long time go to act in movies, even if those restrictions are gone, they themselves are used to it. I can't let go, and I have set rules and regulations for myself.

This causes many TV drama actors to be unable to use their hands and feet when filming movies, and they are easily suppressed when playing opposite roles. As a result, when the movie is released, they will be criticized for their poor acting skills. After all, there is no harm without comparison, and the audience is not blind. , basically you can tell it with a little common sense.

Seeing that Hu Ge still didn't answer, Nie Wei didn't care and continued: "I know what you are worried about, but sometimes, the more you are afraid to try, the further you will be from this circle."

"You have actually made movies before, and the kind of pleasure you can give full play to is something you can't experience when making TV series."

"TV series will tell you a story in 40 or 50 episodes, and you can act slowly, but movies generally only give you two hours. In these two hours, you must burst out all your strength and show your passion for acting."

"I believe that of the two feelings, you will definitely feel that the latter is more exciting and more pursuing, right?"

Hu Ge nodded subconsciously as Nie Wei said something, and he came back to his senses after he finished this action. Why did he nod? He was almost confused by Nie Wei's words.

But it is undeniable that he was moved.

Nie Wei's words were really inspiring. As an actor, if he still had aspirations for his career, he could not resist such incitement. Hu Ge thought that he was not yet old enough to retire, and his career change in recent years was actually to prepare for the crossover to the film industry.

Nie Wei's appearance actually gave him an opportunity in advance.

He had not yet made up his mind whether to agree to Nie Wei's request. Although he no longer had an artist contract with Tang Dynasty Film and Television, as a shareholder of Tang Dynasty Film and Television, he had always been the leading artist of Tang Dynasty Film and Television. If he signed with Huayi, would it be a harm to his old boss?

This was the reason for his hesitation. He was a nostalgic person, and even more so a person who valued friendship and loyalty. Otherwise, he would not have had countless opportunities to leave Tang Dynasty Film and Television for so many years, but he finally gave up.

In comparison, his juniors were very ambitious, and they kept changing jobs, using Tang Dynasty Film and Television as a springboard. This also reflected from the side that the development of Tang Dynasty Film and Television really could not retain people. It was only suitable as a springboard for artists to become famous in the early stage, but it could not provide help for artists to pursue higher goals.

"I need to think about it." Hu Ge pressed on the novel and said to Nie Wei seriously.

"Okay, but I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible. The TV series needs to be prepared. You can't let me wait for you, the male lead, all the time, right?" Nie Wei said with a smile.

"I know, I will give you an answer as soon as possible." Hu Ge nodded. He also knew that Huayi couldn't wait for him all the time. This decision, whether it is to agree or refuse, must be made as soon as possible.

Thank you for the generous reward from Fantasy Paradise.
