Chapter 1359 1461. Desire

The time has arrived at the end of May before we know it, and the temperature in Kyoto changes day by day. In just a few days, it goes from comfortable and pleasant to sweltering.

Wang Zhonglei's heart was just like the weather, boring and irritable.

Perhaps in the eyes of the outside world, Nie Wei is still the backbone of Huayi, and the domestic distribution company of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2", which will be released soon, is still Huayi. However, from the perspective of the industry, the relationship between Nie Wei and Huayi It is already a tacit understanding that the face and the heart are not in harmony.

This can be seen from the fact that none of the three TV series produced by Nie Wei were produced by Huayi.

If the TV series is Nie Wei's work, what about the new movie? Once again, it was handed over to Fanxing Company for production, which is an obvious signal that Nie Wei is alienating Huayi.

The reason Wang Zhonglei also knows is that the last incident caused an irreparable rift in the cooperative relationship between Nie Wei and him, and Nie Wei's countermeasures later showed that he had the intention to gradually break away from Huayi, otherwise Nie Wei could have used Other means are used to achieve the goal, rather than directly selling shares and exchanging injury for injury.

Wang Zhonglei also reflected on it afterwards and realized that he had made a foolish move at that time, but if he had such an opportunity again, Wang Zhonglei felt that he would make the same choice.

Because in his heart, Huayi is his own company, and Nie Wei is just an artist under his former banner, but now the latter has come from behind, and Huayi has even become "Nie first, then the king."

Although Wang Zhonglei had cooperated harmoniously with Nie Wei on the surface over the years, and even cooperated in everything, he was actually suffering from it. He always regarded the company as his own, and watching the company gradually become Nie Wei's, he was naturally very uncomfortable.

So he actively promoted the listing of the company. On the one hand, it was because after the company went public, his worth would rise sharply. On the other hand, he wanted to attract enough helpers to help him check and balance Nie Wei, and at least to help him get as much as possible. s right.

Unfortunately, after what happened last time, all his illusions were shattered.

Now that most of his rights have been deprived by Nie Wei, he is filled with hatred and at the same time is afraid that Nie Wei will completely abandon Huayi. His complicated and contradictory heart makes Wang Zhonglei uncontrollably irritable and restless when he thinks about it.

Just when Wang Zhonglei fell into self-conflict again, a familiar sound of footsteps gradually approached. He subconsciously sat up straight and looked at the door of the tea room.

The moment the tall and thin figure appeared, Wang Zhonglei put on a smile that even he felt was fake, and greeted him seemingly enthusiastically: "Xiao Nie, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"What kind of tea do you want to drink?" Wang Zhonglei asked as he greeted Nie Wei with a smile.

"Just feel free to do it." Nie Wei smiled and replied.

"Then let's have the Bamboo Leaf Green. I remember this is your favorite drink." After Wang Zhonglei finished speaking, he ordered the waiter on the side: "Place a pot of Bamboo Leaf Green."

In the past, when the relationship was harmonious, Nie Wei would have responded enthusiastically, but this time Nie Wei didn't say a word. He just nodded, which was regarded as a response to Wang Zhonglei's words, and then sat down opposite Wang Zhonglei.

"Brother Zhonglei, do you want to invite me to tea?" Nie Wei asked in a businesslike tone.

"Oh, I'm very happy to hear you call me brother Zhonglei." Wang Zhonglei didn't answer Nie Wei's words, but sighed with emotion.

But Nie Wei is not a noob, how could he be persuaded to be soft-hearted by Wang Zhonglei's emotional card in a few words? He was not even moved in his heart, and just took a sip of tea indifferently.

When Wang Zhonglei saw that Nie Wei was silent, he really sighed in his heart.

There were times when the two of them talked about everything, and there were times when they cooperated harmoniously. Unfortunately, these were all things of yesterday. Wang Zhonglei tried to use the emotional card, but the effect was obviously ineffective.

"Nie Wei, can Huayi participate in the investment in the new movie?" Wang Zhonglei knew that the emotional card was useless, so he would not waste time, so he asked directly.

"No, Fanxing and Huaying are enough." Nie Wei refused bluntly.

Fanxing Group has a lot of money. The fact that the company can build a building worth more than 20 billion shows how rich the company is. Therefore, it is fully capable of shouldering the production costs. This is the tacit understanding between Nie Wei and Huaying over the years. .

Although Wang Zhonglei expected this answer, he still felt quite uncomfortable when he heard the result.

"Nie Wei, you are still the director of Huayi and the director of our Huayi." Wang Zhonglei suddenly said after taking a sip of tea.

"Brother Zhonglei, is there anything else?" Nie Wei asked instead without answering.

He didn't want to quarrel with Wang Zhonglei on this matter at all. He was already preparing to cut it with Huayi. How could he still be unclear with Huayi?

Wang Zhonglei was so angry at Nie Wei that he didn't know what to say for a while, and he was also a little angry. He already had such a good attitude. Even if you don't want to, you should still be able to get along on the surface.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhonglei's face turned cold and he stopped talking.

Nie Wei was not in a hurry. He was drinking tea and scrolling through the news on his mobile phone. When the pot of tea was finished, Nie Wei said goodbye directly and stood up to leave.

Although Wang Zhonglei was angry, he also knew that he couldn't show his temper at this time, so he had to softly persuade Nie Wei to stay.

"This is just a pot of tea, why are you in a hurry to leave? One more pot, you haven't had tea in Huayi for a long time, you have almost forgotten what our company's tea tastes like, now you finally have one No matter what, I will drink an extra bottle."

Nie Wei didn't insist on leaving. After Wang Zhonglei's request, Nie Wei sat down again.

"Nie Wei, I really have something to ask you to come this time. Recently, you have produced three TV series and now there is a movie to be produced, but all of them are produced by Fanxing Company. There are already some discordant voices among the staff of Huayi in private, especially your old team. People have become impetuous."

"Do you think you should take care of Huayi, at least stabilize the hearts of those people in your old team?"

After Wang Zhonglei finished speaking, he looked at Nie Wei eagerly, hoping that he could take care of Huayi for the sake of those people, but Nie Wei shook his head without hesitation and refused.

"Brother Zhonglei, since you know about the three TV series and a movie, you should also know that I have been very busy recently. I am so busy that I have no time to create new scripts, so I can only wrong my old brothers for the time being."

When Wang Zhonglei heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy.

But the next second, his facial features couldn't help but magnify, because Nie Wei's next words surprised him.

"Brother Zhonglei, are you interested in the shares of Huayi in my hands?"

Nie Wei's casual and proud words, for Wang Zhonglei, seemed to have suddenly exploded in his mind, and he was a little confused.

When he came back to his senses, his heartbeat had already begun to accelerate involuntarily. He now felt like someone was beating a drum in his chest. The intense heartbeat made his breathing become a little rapid.

Because he really wanted to get Nie Wei's shares in his dreams.

At present, there are only Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei, the major shareholders of Huayi who hold more than 10% of the shares.

Among them, Wang Zhonglei's shares account for about 11% of the total shares, while Nie Wei owns about 22%.

If he can take Nie Wei's 22% of the shares, he can have a dominant share. According to various agreements, he can have a relative controlling stake, which is actually equivalent to controlling the entire company.

But after the excitement, Wang Zhonglei suddenly became very scared.

If Nie Wei sold all his shares to him, would they have to disband completely?

Thinking about the damage that Nie Wei's previous sale of shares had caused to the company's market value, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but hesitate. On the one hand, there was the temptation of power, and on the other hand, he was worried that parting ways with Nie Wei would cause the company's market value to plummet.

Just when he was hesitant, Nie Wei's words woke him up.

"I know that Brother Zhonglei has always been thinking about my shares, but to be honest, you can't afford my shares now."

Nie Wei's light words brought Wang Zhonglei back to reality.

His face flushed, not to mention how embarrassed he was. Just now, he was busy thinking that he could control the company and take back the power by getting Nie Wei's shares, but he forgot that the value of Nie Wei's shares was close to 20 billion, which was not something he could afford.

This made Wang Zhonglei very anxious. It was like putting meat at his mouth, but he found that his mouth was too small and it was impossible to eat the meat in one bite. What worried him even more was that the meat might slip away at any time. After confirming that Nie Wei wanted to sell his shares, Wang Zhonglei felt that Nie Wei might sell his shares to other people.

In recent years, under the leadership of Nie Wei, Huayi has really created a golden signboard. There are definitely many people who want to invest in Huayi, including some big customers who are capable of buying all of Nie Wei's shares.

If Nie Wei really sells his shares to those people, it will definitely be the end of the world for Wang Zhonglei.

Those foreign investors will not be friendly with Wang Zhonglei, nor will they give him face.

Wang Zhonglei was a little at a loss for a while, but Nie Wei had already thought about it: "Brother Zhonglei, I remember that you are injured and have 0.5% of the shares of Fanxing Group. We can exchange this part at an equal value."

Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei's eyes suddenly lit up.

He felt that the most correct investment he had made in his half-life was the 0.5 shares of Fanxing Group that he had exchanged for. He had never expected that the shares that he had casually accepted just for cross-holding would bring him so much wealth later.

At present, the market value of Fanxing Group has exceeded 1 trillion, and the value of these 0.5 shares has exceeded 5 billion.

"I will exchange!" Wang Zhonglei estimated that although he felt that Fanxing's shares had more appreciation potential, it was nothing compared to the power brought by Huayi shares.

So Wang Zhonglei had almost nothing to hesitate about, and naturally he would exchange them if he could.

"Then the remaining shares..." After confirming that he could get a part of the shares, Wang Zhonglei asked greedily.

"I can sell it to you in ten installments, but first of all, the price should be the stock price at the highest market value since Huayi went public. On the other hand, I hope Huayi Company will sell the copyright of the movies I have shot over the years to Fanxing."

"This is impossible!" When he heard the second condition, Wang Zhonglei immediately shouted loudly.

Nie Wei poured himself a cup of tea and said calmly: "Brother Zhonglei, nothing is impossible. This is your only chance to get my shares. To tell you the truth, I have discussed this matter with Mr. Yun from ALI, and he is also very interested in my shares in Huayi."

"Besides, those works originally belonged to me. I am just taking back what belongs to me. Don't worry, I will pay the copyright fee. One hundred million is enough sincerity."

Nie Wei said this, took a sip of tea, and said: "Let's stop here today. I have given the conditions. Brother Zhonglei, go back and think about it, but hurry up. If I don't get a reply within a month, I won't keep the shares in my hands for you."

Nie Wei left very casually, but Wang Zhonglei, who was left behind, seemed to be on the stove, and was particularly tormented.

Today's meeting with Wang Zhonglei was just a small episode for Nie Wei. He really wanted to sell Huayi's shares a long time ago, and Wang Zhonglei didn't know that many employees and artists of Huayi, including Luo Yuan and Luo Kai, were also connected and ready to change jobs at any time.

As for Wang Zhonglei, Nie Wei was fully confident that the other party would definitely take his shares.

Because Wang Zhonglei had a deep obsession with the power of Huayi Group, and Nie Wei's shares were his only hope. With Nie Wei's shares, this trillion-dollar group would usher in his era of Wang Zhonglei. Without Nie Wei's shares, even if he became the president and chairman, he was destined to be restricted everywhere, or even simply sidelined.

In the following days, Nie Wei has been revising the script of "Captain of China".

Movies are not documentaries, so it is impossible to design plots and lines completely according to what happened at the time. Some artistic creations must be added during this period.

However, Nie Wei is not like some Chinese directors. There are only a few shots of responding to the disaster crisis in a disaster film. The whole process is just sentimental and love shots, wasting so much special effects money.

Nie Wei will never make such a mistake in the movie "Captain of China". The main focus of the whole movie is still the captain's actions in responding to the disaster. As for the touching plot, it cannot be said that there is no, but it must not account for too much. It only plays a role in the sublimation of emotions. So Nie Wei put this part as much as possible at the end of the movie.

This is also a common technique of Hollywood movies.

When facing disasters, the exploration of human nature has always been an important part of this type of movie. In addition to consulting Su Qing and Zhou Jianguo, Nie Wei also asked the airline to contact the passengers at the time as much as possible to ask if they are willing to be interviewed.

Nie Wei polished the script bit by bit, and time unknowingly reached mid-June.

A phone call from Wang Zhonglei allowed Nie Wei to temporarily break away from the script work.

Thanks to Pofrocilan for his generous reward.
