Chapter 1306 1408. A small figure in the entertainment industry
Yang Di changed into a suit and stood in front of the camera with a smile.
"I didn't agree to let you help." Nie Weiwei pushed him away, but Yang Di used the same spirit as brown sugar. As soon as he was pushed away, he came over again.
"Brother Nie Wei, I don't want any money, so I'm volunteering to help." Seeing Nie Wei push him again, Yang Di said quickly.
"You really don't need money?" Nie Wei made a move with her hands.
"You really don't need money." When Yang Di saw this, he was overjoyed and quickly added: "Brother, you are alone, how tired it is. With me here, you can ride in front and behind the horse. It doesn't matter."
"Ahem, okay then." Seeing Yang Di taking such initiative, Nie Wei thought about it and agreed.
Since Nie Wei agreed, the program team naturally had no objections.
After a whole day of work, Nie Wei felt much more relaxed with Yang Di's help. During this period, Nie Wei also observed Yang Di carefully.
This guy is obviously not qualified as a core host because he is too impatient in what he says and does. Maybe because he grew up from the grassroots, he subconsciously steals the camera and talks, and these can easily destroy the rhythm of the show. causing distress to guests.
But as a deputy host, he is very qualified.
Yang Di has a very smart mind and a good sense of speech. He can basically catch what Nie Wei says. When he is asked to work hard and make a fool of himself, he will not resist. He is very dedicated, talented and hard-working. In addition, With a little luck, Yang Di is now very popular in the variety show circle.
"Yang Di, are you from our company?" Nie Wei asked on the way to send Yang Di home after a busy day's work.
"Yes, it was Sister Na who introduced me to the company." Yang Di was not dissatisfied at all that Nie Wei did not remember that he was a member of the company, but instead mentioned Xie Na.
"Thank you, then? How did you two meet? People on the Internet say you have a good relationship." Nie Wei asked curiously.
Mentioning this, Yang Di looked a little moved, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "It was a coincidence between us. Sister Na had a show, which was also from our company. At that time, there was a lack of an assistant to host the show, and then Sister Na specially contacted the show. The team called my name, and I became the assistant host of that show, and then signed a contract with our company.”
"Brother Nie Wei, I know you must be curious about why Sister Na asked for my name, because there was an award ceremony before. I was invited to attend and said that I would be given an award. However, when I arrived at the scene, there was no award given to me during the whole process. I didn't hear it until later. "It turned out that the organizer canceled the award temporarily because I was too ugly. I don't know how I got to know about this, but she kindly helped me out."
"So thank you for being your great benefactor?"
"Not only is she my benefactor, she is also my noble person. Without her, there would be no Yang Di today." Yang Di was very serious when he said this.
Yang Di has always believed that he is talented, and has always believed that one day he will be able to stand out, but when his repeated efforts did not bring rewards, and he suffered humiliation from the organizer, during that time, he really thought about quitting. Thinking about the entertainment industry, when he was at the lowest point in his life, someone reached out and gave him a hand, and that person was Xie Na.
Xie Na not only gave him a chance, but also indirectly saved his acting career. Since then, Xie Na has also taken him to appear on "Infinite Challenge", "Happy Camp", and many other programs. He can The achievements of a few days have a lot to do with Xie Na's help at that time.
For example, the reason why he can now serve as one of the regular hosts in another ace show on Shonan Channel is because of his active performance on the screen at that time.
Although the program crew was interested in his comedy talent, if Xie Na hadn't taken him on so many shows, how would he have had the chance to have that kind of exposure? Without exposure, how could the program crew have taken a fancy to him?
Nie Wei couldn't help but praise Yang Di's serious attitude.
"Okay, the young man is indeed very nice. I like your attitude. In the entertainment industry, we should remember more about the kindness others treat us, because people who know how to be grateful will not be disliked by others. Likewise, we should also be kind to others. , we must also forget how good we are to others, because the starting point for us to be good to others is our own goodwill, rather than asking for anything in return. Why does Mr. He have so many good friends in the entertainment industry? It is because he is always good to others. From the heart, never asking for anything in return, are you right?”
"What you said makes sense." Yang Di clapped his hands gently and looked at Nie Wei with admiration.
Nie Wei laughed and complained: "I think you should change your habit of flattering now."
The chuckles of the staff around him reached Yang Di's ears, which made him a little embarrassed. However, he could see that Nie Wei did not mean any harm and instead had a slight appreciation for himself. This made Yang Di very excited.
You definitely have to flatter people. This is one of the tricks Yang Di thinks he can use to survive in the entertainment industry. He has nothing to lose by flattering him. If he lowers his posture, he will gain more. Although occasionally he has some friends. Will you ask yourself if you don’t feel embarrassed by doing this? Yang Di felt that he would lose face, but as a comedian, he had made up his mind not to lose face since he first entered the industry, so he had nothing to lose.
The key point is that Yang Di's flattery also depends on the person. No matter how famous someone is, but his character is not good, Yang Di will not get close to him. It is useless to flatter such a person. Yang Di knows very well that sooner or later, such a person will have problems. , when the relationship really gets closer, they might even be implicated.
Artists like Nie Wei, who have a particularly good reputation both inside and outside the circle, are naturally Yang Di's first choice for flattery. For artists like He Jiong, Xie Na and Wang Han, because their character is guaranteed, he is willing to get close to such people. In Yang Di's view, these people can not only help his career, but also become his mentors and helpful friends.
After sending Yang Di home, Nie Wei asked the driver to drive back to the company.
"Remember to settle Yang Di's performance fee later." After Nie Wei got into the car, he told the executive director next to him.
Although Yang Di said in the show that he didn't want performance fees, Nie Wei still had to give it. He couldn't let others work for nothing all day. He should get something for his labor.
In the next two days, Yang Di drove to the company early in the morning every day to wait for Nie Wei to leave. His performance during this period was also very good.
Nie Wei had to invite many guests, such as Brother Xun, Li Binbin, Ren Quan, and other famous single men and women in Huayi, as well as some friends in the circle in Kyoto, such as Jia Xiaoliang, etc., a total of more than 30 artists.
Of course, it is estimated that only one-fifth of them can really attend the party.
Because of the regional relationship, Nie Wei was the first to complete the task and could rest early. On the day of rest, Yang Di also thanked Nie Wei specifically because he had received the performance fee from the program team.
On the day when he received the bank's text message, Yang Di was really shocked. After all, as long as a normal person suddenly had an extra sum of money in his bank card, he would definitely be panicked.
He first contacted the bank to confirm that the source of funds was normal, and then he found out the source of the money and was surprised again. He really didn't expect that the "Infinite Challenge" program team would give him performance fees.
After all, at the beginning of the program, he volunteered to help, and he agreed not to ask for performance fees.
In Yang Di's opinion, being able to show up with Nie Wei in such a good program as "Infinite Challenge" is very important to him. It is a precious opportunity to expose himself. The performance fee is secondary. As an artist in the variety show circle, he knows the importance of exposure.
But he never expected that the program team still gave him the performance fee.
At that time, he called the program team to express his gratitude, but the feedback he got was indeed another matter. The performance fee was indeed given by the program team, but the person who asked for the performance fee was Nie Wei.
Yang Di was moved, not because of the money, but because Nie Wei respected him.
The smaller the person, the more he cares about being respected by others. Just like fans are willing to fight for their idols, charge on the Internet, and fight against black fans. In fact, the weaker party will have similar feelings when facing the stronger party.
They all yearn for the respect of big people, even if it is just a word of concern.
This time, they feel that they are valued and their abilities are recognized, which will make them more confident, more goal-oriented and motivated to move forward.
This was Yang Di's mentality when he learned about this.
So Yang Di, who was always grateful in his heart, found Nie Wei to thank him when they parted at the end.
"It's a small matter. Keep working hard. I'm optimistic about you." Nie Wei smiled and patted Yang Di on the shoulder, encouraging him.
Nie Wei always encourages and affirms people who work hard. He never begrudges his rewards, unless he divides them among people. For those who are lazy and eat, Nie Wei is too lazy to say anything and basically fires them directly.
Fanxing has the best treatment in the industry, no doubt about it, but the best, but the internal competition is also very cruel. It's not that the company's system is so strict, but there are too many elites inside. When excellent people get together, then excellent people will suddenly feel that they are ordinary?
I think I have been a top student for more than 20 years, and suddenly I find that everyone around me is no worse than me. This kind of pressure can be imagined.
Take Fanxing's best variety show production as an example.
If other production companies can stabilize the ratings of a variety show at 1, they can hold a celebration banquet, light firecrackers, and celebrate.
But if it is in Fanxing, if the ratings of a program can only be stabilized at 1, it is barely qualified, the most reluctant kind, the kind that has to shrink in the corner and dare not raise its head to make a fuss during the annual meeting.
Because this company has too many ratings of 2 or 3, even 5 is not uncommon, let alone just stabilizing at 1?
In front of a group of more outstanding people, you who were originally outstanding are no longer outstanding. This kind of frustration is very strong, so that the pressure is very high. Many people even resign sadly because they can't stand this huge pressure environment.
Of course, people who can withstand this kind of pressure and still stand out in this environment are really proud from the heart. In ancient times, I dare not say that it is the mentality of Dugu Qiubai, but at least they can have the feeling of the five unique people in the world. It is really a world of martial arts, and only two or three people can be opponents, and the rest are just chickens and pots.
And the more confident a person is, the more results he can achieve, and the more results he can achieve, the more confident he is.
Just like e-sports players, in fact, many people who can become professional players are not much different in terms of operation. After all, they are all men standing at the top of Ionia. Who is not a genius? But why do some people become mediocre and retire silently after one or two years, while others can climb to the top and become star players?
A serious professional attitude and a stable mentality are very important, but there is another point, that is, full confidence.
Just like Team R, they won the Spring Championship, the Mid-Season Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, the Summer Championship, and even the Asia Cup. After all, four players on that team were members of Team R. They were able to win five championships in a row because they played with confidence.
Unfortunately, this confidence seemed to turn into arrogance in the final S game, and they lost to Team G and stopped in the quarterfinals. The invincible momentum also disappeared.
So in the new season, even if the lineup did not change, the mentality of the players changed, which led to the team's performance being neither good nor bad, and they no longer had the invincible posture of the previous season.
This is because the players lost their confidence and dared not play, and their operations also changed. However, their skills are still as strong as before, but their mentality is problematic. The original 100% skills can only play 70% to 80% at most, which naturally gives people the feeling that they are much weaker.
During the rest period, Nie Wei also went to Suzhou and Hangzhou to see his new house.
Buying an island in the middle of a lake, such a big deal naturally made the headlines of the entertainment section, but it only caused a heated discussion among people. After all, the public has long accepted Nie Wei's personality of being rich. After all, this island in the middle of a lake and the manor are only more than 100 million US dollars. Maybe Nie Wei can make so much money in one day.
At the same time, Nie Wei also went to the stadium to watch a game.
After returning to Kyoto, he accompanied Shu Chang to participate in two charity sales. For this, Nie Wei donated two of his "calligraphy treasures", which sold for a total of 600,000 yuan at the charity sales. Nie Wei and Shu Chang also bought the sword used by Zhang Ziyi in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the charity sale for 300,000 yuan.
The money donated by Nie Wei and Shu Chang in the two charity sales did not rank among the top ten stars present. It's not that the two are stingy, but it's unnecessary.
Besides, Nie Wei invests more than 100 million yuan in charity every year, so there is no need to make a big splash at the two charity sales.
He has always been very low-key in charity.
Time passed unknowingly in mid-January. In addition to eating, drinking and having fun, Nie Wei occasionally went to the technology department of Fanxing Group to check the progress of the special effects production of "Fantastic Beasts 2".
If nothing goes wrong, the film will be officially released on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Thank you Qiangloverong for the generous reward of 500, and thank you rcliu and Jingzhi for the generous reward.
