Chapter 1295 1397. Disloyalty

In Nie Wei's opinion, Huang Xiaoming's acting problems are purely caused by the dramas he has filmed.

Even if an actor is very talented, if he keeps filming those handsome and positive roles, he will probably end up like Huang Xiaoming.

It's not because he always pretends to be a domineering president or a peerless handsome man, but because most of the roles he has played over the years are of this type, and he has also starred in many bad movies, which has led to the audience's disgust with movies being concentrated on the actor.

As a result, there are still some people who have prejudices and think that the movies and TV series starring Huang Xiaoming are bad movies.

In fact, this is not the case. In Nie Wei's opinion, Huang Xiaoming has the ability and acting skills.

Apart from other things, Huang Xiaoming's performance in the TV series "Nirvana in Fire" is very good, and it has more or less saved his reputation.

So in Nie Wei's opinion, Huang Xiaoming can still be saved.

And the way to save him is to let him play those life dramas.

What is a life drama? The aunts and uncles, the neighbors, quarrels today and tomorrow, are all trivial matters, and they are all small things that may happen to everyone.

This is much more realistic than the domineering CEO, the big brother of Mingzhu Beach, or the wild handsome guy that Huang Xiaoming always plays.

And this is exactly what Huang Xiaoming lacks. It is not easy to pretend to be handsome and cool in life dramas. Just ask you when you are with an aunt, do you still have to pretend to be a prince, melancholy, sensitive, fragile, and gentle?

Believe it or not, the aunt will spit on your face in a minute.

In this kind of TV series, Huang Xiaoming basically has no room to play his idol style, and his acting skills will naturally return to life during the filming process. In addition, Huang Xiaoming's acting experience over the years, as long as he persists, he will definitely make great progress.

This is actually very easy to think of, but why does Huang Xiaoming always ignore it?

Just look at Shu Chang and Baby's surprised faces, because no one dared to think that Huang Xiaoming would shoot a life drama.

The simplest reason is that even the richest life drama crew in China cannot afford Huang Xiaoming, because his net worth is too high, so he has long been "insulated" from this type of TV series and movies.

Moreover, Huang Xiaoming should also subconsciously reject this type of subject matter, just like a person who has been in his comfort zone for a long time, he is very reluctant to switch to an unfamiliar circle, because that will make him unaccustomed and unnatural.

But in Nie Wei's view, Huang Xiaoming's current "comfort zone" is the culprit for his unnatural acting skills.

Huang Xiaoming's face was a little struggling. When he was asked to shoot a life film, his first thought was indeed to resist.

Because in this industry, life films are definitely ranked at the bottom, not to mention that Nie Wei's intention is to let him act in TV dramas, which is the bottom of the bottom. Those life films are basically performed by people who have acting skills in the industry but are not very popular, or some rookie actors who have just graduated from film academies.

Who among the real big names would go back to act in this type of film? Let alone other things, the pay alone is enough to dissuade 90% of the big names.

For example, Huang Xiaoming's current worth, even if his worth has declined a lot in the past two years, but even if his current pay alone can at least support two 50-episode life film crews.

Looking at Huang Xiaoming who was still hesitating, Nie Wei suddenly asked: "Brother Xiaoming, do you know what is the biggest motivation for people?"

"Is... what?" Huang Xiaoming was about to answer, but felt that Nie Wei would not ask casually, and hesitated for a moment when the words came to his lips, and threw the question back to Nie Wei.

"I'm asking you, don't think about the correct answer, just answer according to your mind." Nie Wei smiled.

"Well, let me think, what is the biggest motivation for people? Is it... love?" Huang Xiaoming thought for a long time, and finally gave such an answer. As soon as the words came out, Shu Chang, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Xiaoming, you really have the idol's style engraved in your bones. You can even say such an idol drama answer." Nie Wei was also at a loss for words. He did not expect that Huang Xiaoming would give such an answer.

Even his wife Baby was secretly happy on the side, which made Huang Xiaoming very depressed.

"Hehe, love is not wrong. In my opinion, there are only two kinds of people's greatest motivations. One of them is interest, that is, hobbies." Nie Wei stretched out a finger and said.

"Interest, as the name suggests, is like Brother Xiaoming, Baby, my wife Changchang, and me. When we entered this industry, wasn't it because we were interested in this profession?"

"What about the second one?" When Shu Chang silently agreed in his heart, he was more curious about what the second motivation Nie Wei mentioned was?

When Nie Wei heard this, he looked at Huang Xiaoming.

"The second motivation is shame."

When Huang Xiaoming was wondering why Nie Wei suddenly looked at him, he suddenly heard this sentence. His pupils trembled, and his heart was sour, numb and painful, but he tried hard not to show his weakness, and finally just smiled bitterly.

Nie Wei saw the change in Huang Xiaoming's expression, but did not stop, but continued.

"Brother Xiaoming, when fate wants you to grow up, it will arrange some unpleasant people or things to stimulate you!"

"So you have to work hard, either stand out or be eliminated. You must show the courage of the King of Chu who burned his boats and crossed the river, or are you willing to become the object of ridicule and the cancer that the audience spurns?"

Nie Wei's words were like sharp arrows, piercing Huang Xiaoming's face and his self-esteem.

It hurts, it hurts a lot, it hurts from the heart, but this pain makes Huang Xiaoming feel like he has been enlightened, and his muddled mind suddenly clears up.

All the previous concerns disappeared in an instant with Nie Wei's words.

"Nie Wei, I will let the company arrange for me to act in life dramas after I return to Beijing. I will come back when I correct my acting problems. By then, even if my value drops sharply and my popularity is gone, I will accept it. I can't just muddle along like this." Huang Xiaoming said with gritted teeth, and after that, he drank the two taels of daughter's red wine in front of him.

A cough sounded in the painting boat, and Baby gave Huang Xiaoming her juice with a distressed look.

Nie Wei saw that Huang Xiaoming agreed, and thought that this big brother could still be saved. Although it was a little late for him to try to change, he was still able to do so. Of course, the company would not arrange a life film for Huang Xiaoming to act, which would ruin the actor.

You should know that this subject matter is the most difficult, because the threshold is low and it can be filmed with a small investment, so it is also the most shoddy. Even if Huang Xiaoming is willing, the company will screen him and choose the best, so that he can exercise his acting skills without attracting criticism because of the quality of the TV series or movies themselves.

According to Nie Wei's idea, Huang Xiaoming will be arranged to play the main role in two or three life-type TV series in the future. As for when he can return to mainstream movies, it depends on Huang Xiaoming's progress.

In fact, it is not just Huang Xiaoming who is fighting, Huayi is also gambling, betting that Huang Xiaoming can be reborn, otherwise Huayi will not only lose the profit share of the past one or two years, but also lose a first-line male star.

Although Huang Xiaoming had prepared himself mentally, he must have felt a lot of pressure in the face of this major change in his career. So after the meal, both parties returned to Mingzhu early and did not stay in Suzhou and Hangzhou for a while.

"Do you think Xiaoming can correct his acting problems this time?" Shu Chang couldn't help asking after returning to the room.

"I don't know." Nie Wei replied.

"You also know that habits are not easy to change, let alone a habit that has been maintained for more than ten or twenty years, but Xiaoming has to change it. Just like those NBA stars, when they are young, they can rely on their good bodies to rush around, but when they get older, they must learn to change their playing style, otherwise they will retire early."

"Have you forgotten the newcomer who mocked Xiaoming? Although this matter is blamed on the newcomer's lack of respect, it is ultimately caused by the decline in Xiaoming's popularity and reputation."

Shu Chang sighed. This is the reality. Just like what Xiaoming said, when you are not doing well, others will look down on you.

"Why are you so sentimental?" Seeing Shu Chang's depressed look, Nie Wei asked with concern.

"I just thought, if I hadn't met you, would I be like Xiao Ming, and be very distressed at my current age, just like when I transformed from a child star." Shu Chang said.

She knew very well that she could develop so smoothly, in fact, thanks to Nie Wei's help.

She really rose to become a first-line female star in China when Nie Wei started to be a director. "Speeding Scandal", "Your Name", "Blind Witness", these works have officially made her current status in the entertainment industry.

And what did she play before Nie Wei became a director?

In "The Golden Age", she was the lovely Eighth Miss, but she was only a supporting actress. After finally filming Mr. Jin's play, she ended up playing the role of Tianshan Tonglao. Although Dong Efei made her famous, this work alone was far from enough.

So Shu Chang felt that she was particularly lucky.

Nie Wei knew that Shu Chang's development in the original time and space was very plain, but she was not unpopular. When Shu Chang's name was mentioned, many people knew it, but it was not right to say that she was extremely popular. Compared with those first-line big names, Shu Chang was particularly low-key. Even in the years when she was developing the best, she did not see any big news.

In that time and space, she should be considered only half a star, but she was a real actor. She regarded acting as a job and would not let her vanity play a role.

"Anyway, you marry me, you picked up a treasure, remember to be nicer to me in the future." Nie Wei replied with a smile.

"Annoying." Shu Chang rolled her eyes at Nie Wei, but she was happy in her heart and agreed with Nie Wei's words.

Nie Wei, who was in a good mood that day, took Shu Chang to have a midnight snack at night, but this good mood became not so good the next morning.

Nie Wei's Weibo once again triggered the things that were previously covered up by Huayi, and the newcomer was once again pushed to the forefront by Nie Wei's Weibo.

The boss personally came out, and although he didn't tear the person apart directly, the meaningful words were so meaningful that netizens could tell what it was about. For a time, the moral character of the newcomer was once again questioned by the majority of netizens, and his image plummeted instantly.

It stands to reason that Huayi Company should have announced the decision to "freeze" the company after receiving Nie Wei's order, but surprisingly, Huayi did not react to this situation.

Even the interviews with reporters and media were not accepted, saying that they were discussing it internally.

Nie Wei received Luo Yuan's report in the morning, and then he knew that the group of people on the board of directors were still hesitating and didn't want to give up the newcomer.

Nie Wei knew very well that these guys were actually using this newcomer as a gun to test his bottom line.

Since Huayi went public, the composition of the board of directors has become much more complicated. Although the inclusion of these guys has greatly increased Huayi's market value, it has also made the composition within the company more complicated.

It is obvious that this group of people are no longer willing to be a powerless director who gets dividends at the end of each year. They also want to intervene in the company's internal affairs and want to control some of Huayi's rights and interests.

If Nie Wei gives in a little on this matter, these people will definitely push their limits.

"Luo Yuan, tell the public relations department to draft a notice for this matter. I want to see it online within half an hour."

"At the same time, immediately tell the newcomer's management team to stop contacting any work."

"Issue these orders in the name of the chairman."

"Do they want me to give in?" After hanging up the phone, Nie Wei couldn't help laughing. These guys were really dazzled by the power in front of them, and these outsiders didn't understand the difference between entertainment companies and ordinary companies.

"Since you want me to give up, I will really give up for you to see." Nie Wei thought of this, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a string of phone numbers.

At this moment, in a private club box in Kyoto, a group of people also gathered together.

They have different identities, but they have similarities. They are all shareholders of Huayi, and some simply represent a certain company as directors of Huayi.

Everyone got together naturally not to drink and chat.

Several years have passed since Huayi went public. In the beginning, they were really honest. They didn't do anything big or small, because Huayi was at its peak at that time, and the people below were all solid. They had no room to intervene.

But after such a long time, they gradually infiltrated Huayi's internal power.

Some supervisors were won over by them, and some employees also got on their "chariot". Of course, this power was nothing compared to what Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei had in their hands, but it also gradually gave them a hint of ambition.

They gradually began to be dissatisfied with the simple dividends every year. After all, in addition to making money, there are many things that entertainment companies care about.
