Chapter 1370 1472. The proud old Wang
Faced with Lin Yifei's straightforward question, Nie Wei also answered readily: "Well, yes, if you are willing, I do want to sign you on behalf of Fanxing Group, and I will give you the best contract treatment."
"So good? Don't you have any unreasonable thoughts about me?" Lin Yifei blinked mischievously and asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Nie Wei waved his hand quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, I am devoted to my wife."
"Oh, I'm kidding, you are so scared." Lin Yifei patted Nie Wei's arm and laughed.
"Forget about the agency contract. I returned to China this time because I had the idea of acting and wanted to regain my passion for being an actor, but to be honest, I don't know how long I can stick to it."
Nie Wei looked at Lin Yifei, her eyes were confused, as if she couldn't find the direction of her life.
"So I won't sign the contract. It's good to be free and independent."
"Then I'll find a few people to help you?" Nie Wei said. The girl's appearance made Nie Wei feel a little distressed. After all, Lin Yifei's giving up being an actor had a lot to do with him.
Nie Wei felt that he should be mainly responsible for Lin Yifei's current confusion.
"No need, I have an agent. The one who came with me to Fanxing that day is Ji Lan, the daughter of a friend of my mother in the United States. She is very capable. Now my work is handed over to her." Lin Yifei declined.
After saying this, she suddenly found that Nie Wei looked at her with a bit of heartache, and she couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, Nie Wei, you don't think I'm pitiful, do you? Let me tell you, if I can't be an actor, I might have to go home and inherit a billion-dollar fortune. The housing prices in Kyoto have really risen so fast in recent years. I sold my manor for a lot of money. I guess it'll scare you if I tell you."
"Hehe, maybe you don't know how much money I can make in a day."
"Nie Wei, you're so arrogant."
"What's so arrogant? I call this ability."
"Ah la la la la, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it."
A black nanny car arrived at the entrance of the alley. The window of the driver's seat was lowered. Cheng Zimo greeted the two of them. Nie Wei opened the door for Lin Yifei and watched her get in the car.
"Have a safe trip. Go back and have a good rest."
"You too, you've been with me all day, you should have a good rest too." Lin Yifei smiled and waved at Nie Wei. Nie Wei imitated her movements and waved back.
"Drive slowly on the road and pay attention to safety." Nie Wei told Cheng Zimo again, then closed the car door, and the nanny car started slowly and drove out of Nie Wei's sight.
Nie Wei turned around and walked towards the courtyard, while taking out his mobile phone.
"Wife, I took the subway with Lin Yifei, Jiang Xiaopa and Zhu Yawen today, and went to the Starry Plaza once, but we only visited one district because Jiang Xiaopa stupidly wore high heels. Later, we went back to the city, and I asked Cheng Zimo to take Xixi back to the hotel."
Nie Wei wrote a text message like a diary and sent it to Shu Chang.
He usually wouldn't do things like daily reporting, because it was completely unnecessary, and Shu Chang trusted him very much, but recently because of Lin Yifei's sudden appearance, Nie Wei would deliberately tell Shu Chang about his daily schedule these two days.
He did this to reassure Shu Chang.
Because Nie Wei knew very well that because of Lin Yifei's appearance, Shu Chang's trust in him was also shaken. After all, his heart had been wavering between Shu Chang and Lin Yifei at the beginning.
Shu Chang replied to Nie Wei's message half an hour later.
"Okay, you secretly organized a group to go out while I was away. I must arrange another date after I return, but this time Jiang Xiaopa will not be brought along."
After receiving Shu Chang's reply, Nie Wei called directly. The phone was connected as soon as it rang.
"Husband!"
"Wife, how was the shooting today? Did it go smoothly?" Nie Wei asked with concern.
"It went very smoothly, and the director praised me a lot, saying that I acted very well in one scene. I watched it myself and it was really good." Shu Chang showed off her achievements without any modesty when talking to Nie Wei.
The assistants, agents and makeup artists around Shu Chang were all laughing. This happy little woman who showed off her achievements like a primary school student was humble and polite when facing the director's praise more than an hour ago, saying that she had many shortcomings.
Shu Chang glared at the gossiping women and continued to act coquettishly: "Nie Wei, I read the text message. You guys didn't even wait for me to go out and play."
"Fortunately you didn't come. I didn't have a good time today. I was recognized by fans when I got on the subway, and then I drove to the Stars Plaza. As a result, Jiang Xiaopa wore a pair of high heels with a heel of at least eight centimeters. She was about to fall off after walking for less than an hour. We had no choice but to find a restaurant nearby for lunch and then go home."
"Anyway, it was boring and pure suffering."
Hearing Nie Wei's summary, Shu Chang couldn't help laughing out loud. Naturally, she didn't want to see how happy Nie Wei and Lin Yifei were playing together, even if there were other friends, even if Lin Yifei had behaved very well so far, but she was unhappy because she had a knot in her heart and would care.
"The main reason is that you guys are all homebodies and don't know how to have fun. When I finish filming this movie and return to Kyoto, let's make an appointment with Class 02. I'll take you out to play for a day and I guarantee you'll all be happy." Shu Chang said confidently.
"By the way, you are going to start promoting "Fantastic Beasts 2" soon, right?" Shu Chang suddenly asked.
"Yes, starting from Kyoto in three days, then heading to Mingzhu, then Suzhou and Hangzhou, Yangcheng, Sichuan, Shancheng, Chang'an, Bingcheng, etc., it will take at least half a month."
"Oh, it takes so long, husband, you are so hard." Shu Chang said distressedly, but she was also a little excited in her heart. If Nie Wei went to the roadshow, Lin Yifei, who stayed in Kyoto, would have no excuse to follow him.
Shu Chang's calculations were very precise.
"Yes, this is just a roadshow, and I have to participate in variety shows in the middle. I guess I won't be able to return to Kyoto before July." Nie Wei smiled bitterly.
What he hated most was the promotion of the movie, because it was really tiring.
For example, this roadshow is actually going to be held in 18 cities across the country. Nie Wei's schedule is the result of the company's streamlining. For example, in the neighboring cities of Yangcheng and Huacheng, Nie Wei only attends the roadshow in Yangcheng, and between Shancheng and Shudu, Nie Wei also only attends the roadshow in Shancheng...
The same is true for variety shows. In the schedule arranged by the company, other actors must participate in at least six first-line variety shows. For example, the protagonist even has more than double-digit variety show reservations, while Nie Wei only has three variety shows, which is also the least in the entire crew.
But even so, he is still busy until the movie is released, but he has more rest time than several leading actors.
In fact, this is still good. After the movie is released, he will have to fly around the world for promotion, which is more tiring, so Nie Wei will be very busy in the next few days until the end of July, almost flying around the country and then around the world.
"Remember to take all the nutritional supplements I bought for you, especially the tonics. I specially asked a doctor to prescribe them for you based on your body. You may not be able to exercise on time when you are busy, so you must remember to take those tonics."
"You told me last time, and I remembered it. Now I take them on time every day." Nie Wei said with a smile.
"Hmph, if I see any tonics left after I go back, I won't let you go so easily." Shu Chang "threatened".
The two chatted for a full half an hour until the crew asked Shu Chang to prepare for the next scene, and then they hung up the phone reluctantly.
Not long after Nie Wei put away his phone, Cheng Zimo came to the courtyard.
"Ms. Lin has already arrived at the hotel." Cheng Zimo reported.
"What do you want to eat tonight? Let's order takeout directly." Nie Wei didn't want to cook by himself, let alone rely on Cheng Zimo, his cooking skills were not as good as his own.
However, Nie Wei kindly wanted to invite Cheng Zimo to dinner, but Cheng Zimo shyly scratched the back of his head and declined Nie Wei's dinner invitation.
"Master, Cheng Cheng and I have an appointment to have Western food together in the evening. By the way, Master, I can't do morning exercises with you tomorrow. I want to take a day off. I have booked tickets for Disneyland in Mingzhu City. I want to take Cheng Cheng to play with me. Cheng Cheng has been talking to me for a long time."
Looking at Cheng Zimo who looked like he was still waiting, Nie Wei felt that his mouth was filled with dog food.
The wooden-headed apprentice finally got the hang of it and knew how to love his girlfriend. This was a good thing, and Nie Wei naturally couldn't stop it. Not only did he give Cheng Zimo a day off, he also specially booked a very famous high-end Western restaurant in Kyoto for him.
"Don't be stingy tonight. Just order whatever your girlfriend likes to eat and drink. Master will pay for it."
"No need, Master. I have money." Cheng Zimo replied. He really has no shortage of money. Nie Wei pays him a million yuan a year, and he also gets dividends from Cheng's martial arts school. He also has various investments behind Nie Wei. Over the years, Cheng Zimo has accumulated a net worth of nearly 100 million yuan, and there are tens of millions of cash in his bank card alone.
He said he had money, and it was true.
Nie Wei did not force it, but after Cheng Zimo left, he still called his secretary and asked her to take a bottle of good wine from his wine cabinet and send it to the reserved western restaurant.
Two days later, all the actors of the "Fantastic Beasts 2" crew gathered in Kyoto.
The tickets for the Kyoto roadshow had been sent out a month ago. Film critics and reporters in the industry accounted for about 40% of the votes, and the remaining 60% were selected from novel fans and movie fans.
The tickets for the roadshow have been hyped up to tens of thousands of yuan per ticket online, but it is still hard to get a ticket at such a high price.
The domestic distribution company of this film is Huayi, so Nie Wei will inevitably meet Wang Zhonglei at the roadshow.
Since the initial completion of the share transaction, Wang Zhonglei has not contacted Nie Wei again. Recently, he has been busy vying for power within the company.
With Nie Wei's private cooperation, the process of his regaining power was very smooth, and now most of the company's departments have been replaced by his people again.
However, this is not a difficult problem for Wang Zhonglei. The real difficulty will come after the exposure of Nie Wei's sale of shares, which is really something he doesn't even want to think about.
It can be predicted that that day will inevitably be a day when Huayi's market value plummets. Wang Zhonglei himself admitted that Nie Wei's influence on Huayi is too great.
Wang Zhonglei has also bitten the bullet and traded the copyrights requested by Nie Wei to Fanxing Group.
So far, the separation between Nie Wei and Huayi has been completed by 90%.
Now Nie Wei is just a Huayi director holding a symbolic 100 shares. This identity is just a cover. After a while, when Wang Zhonglei is ready, Nie Wei will directly give up this identity.
Nie Wei also has plans for Luo Yuan, Luo Kai and others.
The pace of expansion of Fanxing Group has never stopped. High-end talents like Luo Yuan are exactly what Fanxing needs. Just a week ago, Luo Yuan has joined Fanxing and became the president of the film and television department. Next, Nie Wei will operate her into the Fanxing board of directors and become an executive director.
As for Luo Kai, Nie Wei asked him to do his old job, which is to be responsible for the trainee plan that Fanxing is preparing. After all, when he was in Huayi, Luo Kai was specifically responsible for the trainees.
After more than half a month, Nie Wei saw Wang Zhonglei again, and he could detect a word from his face, called smugness.
Wang Zhonglei was indeed very proud. After getting Nie Wei's shares, and Nie Wei's forces gave in completely within the company, Wang Zhonglei finally straightened his back and felt that his voice was full of confidence.
Nie Wei secretly supported his power struggle, which also made him smooth sailing in the internal struggle during this period.
In just half a month, Wang Zhonglei once again took control of the real power from a hollowed-out chairman, especially in the latest board meeting, he had the final say, which was so impressive.
He was in a good mood, and he rarely smiled when he saw Nie Wei.
"I won't greet you, the box is reserved for you, or the old place, after the movie is over, we will find a restaurant to get together." Wang Zhonglei greeted Nie Wei like a protagonist after seeing Nie Wei, treating Nie Wei completely as a guest.
Nie Wei knew what this guy was thinking, and he was too lazy to care. He responded casually and walked towards the box.
Nie Wei was the only one in the whole big box, which made him look a little lonely. Nie Wei sat for a while, and simply called Nina and Joseph to invite them to the box to watch a movie later.
Soon, the audience began to enter the theater one after another. The front row of the theater was basically occupied by reporters and film critics, and the back was reserved for those lucky audiences. The leading actors of the movie were also sitting in the front row at this moment.
When the theater was full, a host with a microphone walked to the front.
Thank you Jingzhi for your generous reward.
