Chapter 1402 1054. Wishful thinking
On October 2, Huayi held a press conference to announce Wang Zhongjun's return to Huayi.
As soon as the news came out, as Boss Wang expected, Huayi's market value finally stopped falling and even rose slightly. Although the magnitude was not large, this was definitely a rare dawn for Huayi, which had been experiencing a decline in market value recently. .
It's like a person who is sliding towards a cliff finally grabs a branch and stabilizes himself. With this foundation, he finds the possibility of climbing up.
Boss Wang is confident that he can climb up, provided that his brother can stabilize the veterans of the company.
In a brokerage company, the most valuable people are naturally the artists. For Huayi, the three most important artists at present are Xiao Mingge, Cheng Kun and Zhou Xun.
As for artists such as Zhang Ziyi and Alan who are still under contract, Boss Wang doesn't think about it. They are people who have made it clear that they will not renew their contracts and are committed to Nie Wei.
But these three can be fought for in Boss Wang's mind.
With the dream of successfully renewing his contract with these three big stars, Boss Wang rarely had a good night's sleep. However, as soon as he arrived at the company the next day, one-third of his dream was shattered.
Cheng Kun made it clear that he would not renew his contract.
"Why? Why didn't you renew the contract?" Boss Wang was anxious and dizzy. You must know that in his heart, Cheng Kun was the most likely to renew the contract with Huayi among the three.
What happened on the set of "The Golden Family" is no secret to many people. Although the relationship between Nie Wei and Cheng Kun has improved a lot over the years, Boss Wang feels that Cheng Kun should have a thorn in his heart. After all, Nie Wei Wei took away the opportunity that should have been his to become famous.
But when Boss Wang heard the news that Cheng Kun would not renew his contract, he realized that he was overthinking it.
Boss Wang called the secretary and ordered: "Notify Cheng Kun's agent soon, and after his trip is over, make an appointment with Cheng Kun to go to the coffee shop I often go to near the company."
"knew."
Ten minutes later, Cheng Kun's agent Huang Xue walked into a private room of a restaurant.
"Brother Nie Wei, brother Cheng Kun, Mr. Wang's secretary just called and said that he would invite you to a coffee shop near the company in the evening." Huang Xue reported.
Boss Wang may not have expected that when he ordered to call, Cheng Kun was discussing the new company with Nie Weiwei.
"How should I reply?" Huang Xue looked at Cheng Kun and then at Nie Wei and asked.
Nie Wei said nothing, but looked at Cheng Kun with a smile.
"Just refuse it. Boss Wang and I have nothing to discuss." Cheng Kun replied directly.
Nie Wei applauded Cheng Kun's decisiveness in his heart. This is Cheng Kun's character. He may seem aloof, but in fact he is very simple and straightforward. Just like when he was on the set of "Golden Fen Family", it stands to reason that no one with some emotional intelligence would talk about it. Cheng Kun said such directly hurtful words.
When he said it himself, he probably didn't put much thought into it at all, he just simply disliked Lin Yifei's poor acting skills.
Over the years, he has learned to be careful with his words, but he cannot be conceited. Therefore, since he has decided not to renew his contract with Huayi, Cheng Kun will not give Boss Wang any hope.
"You are so decisive, aren't you afraid that Boss Wang will use your job to oppress you?" Nie Wei said jokingly: "My sister was almost captured by Boss Wang and taken back to the company to exploit her a few days ago."
"Is Duduo okay?" Cheng Kun asked quickly after hearing this.
Nie Wei smiled and shook her head, explaining: "It's okay. I tampered with her contract a little bit. Huayi can't control Zhou Duoduo."
Cheng Kun breathed a sigh of relief and gave Nie Wei a thumbs up.
Cheng Kun admires Nie Wei very much in terms of thinking about things first, because he always seems to think ahead of everyone. This is also the reason why Cheng Kun likes to be friends with Nie Wei. He feels that following Nie Wei will not Suffer.
"The shares are the same as Binbin's, 5%, and he has a seat on the board of directors..." Nie Wei explained to Cheng Kun one by one the conditions he obtained after joining, and also explained the responsibilities and obligations he needed to bear. Read it again.
When communicating with a simple person like Cheng Kun, it is best not to hide anything and compare your feelings with others. When I completely trust you, if you leave any holes in the contract for me to pick, anyone who knows the truth will feel uncomfortable.
The company mainly relies on rules and regulations to manage artists, but it cannot forget the emotional aspects of the artists.
"Okay, I have no problem with these conditions." Cheng Kun really didn't have any scheming intentions. Most people would think about it even if they were satisfied with the conditions, but Cheng Kun just agreed on the spot.
"Then we made a gentleman's agreement." Nie Wei said with a smile. Cheng Kun's contract has not expired, and they have no way to sign a contract for shares. They have to wait until Cheng Kun's contract expires normally before the two parties actually sign the contract.
No one can predict whether something will happen in the meantime. It all depends on mutual trust and commitment.
After talking about cooperation, all that was left was to eat and drink. At this time, Huang Xue also returned to the box with Cheng Zimo, who had been guarding the door.
"I heard that Zimo is getting married soon?" Cheng Kun asked curiously while chatting during dinner. When Cheng Zimo heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Why are you so shy?" Nie Wei scolded with a smile and replied for Cheng Zimo: "It's almost time. Their old man is eager to hold his grandson and keeps urging him. He has also met the woman's parents. She said she is very satisfied with him and is now preparing for the wedding. "
"Coming soon, Chengcheng and I are planning to get married next spring." Cheng Zimo added shyly.
"Okay, that's great news, but it's a pity that I'm getting married and can't be your best man. However, there are so many handsome guys and stars in the company. When the time comes, let your master pick a few for you, and I'm sure to form the most handsome groomsmen team. ." Cheng Kun said with a smile: "I will definitely give you a big red envelope when the time comes."
"Thank you, Brother Cheng Kun." Cheng Zimo couldn't speak. After thanking him, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down.
Cheng Kun liked this direct way of expression the most, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Fortunately, the drink he drank was beer. If he had replaced it with white wine, with Cheng Kun's drinking capacity, this glass might have been carried home. .
"Nie Wei, as master, what are you going to give me?" Cheng Kun asked.
"Keep it secret." Nie Wei didn't say anything.
"What's so secret about this?" Cheng Kun originally just asked casually, but Nie Wei didn't say anything, and he became a little curious.
"It's just a secret anyway, don't ask me, I'm just not ready yet."
"I think you're just not ready."
"Haha, if you think this is the case, then so be it."
What Cheng Kun said was a bit crazy. Cheng Zimo couldn't bear it when he saw this, so he took the initiative to reveal the secret: "Master gave me a house..."
"Hey, why did you say it?" When Nie Wei wanted to interrupt, it was too late. He could only complain to Cheng Zimo angrily. After Cheng Kun knew the answer, he looked at Nie Wei in surprise: "Brother, what a big deal. ”
You need to know the housing prices in Kyoto. Even a small apartment of less than 50 square meters in the city will cost more than 3 to 4 million, while the price of a large apartment of hundreds of square meters is not less than 10 million.
Naturally, it was impossible for Nie Wei to give his apprentice a small house. In Cheng Kun's opinion, it should be at least three bedrooms and one living room, which would cost tens of millions.
"I'm just an apprentice, so naturally I have to be generous when he gets married." Nie Wei replied calmly.
"Is there a picture? Let me take a look." Cheng Kun asked Cheng Zimo.
Cheng Zimo actually had a picture of the house on his phone, so he quickly found it and showed it to Cheng Kun. Huang Xue, who was extremely envious at the side, also came over. After seeing the picture of the house, she felt even more envious.
Cheng Kun had thought it was a three-bedroom apartment with one living room, but after looking at the photos, he realized that it was not three bedrooms and one living room. Instead, it had four bedrooms, three living rooms and three bathrooms, covering an area of nearly 300 square meters.
In addition to the basic four bedrooms, three living rooms and three bathrooms, the house also has a small study room, a cloakroom, and two oversized balconies. The location of the floor is also excellent. It is located on the 15th floor. The air on this floor is good, and there are no pests like mosquitoes. Basically, you can’t fly to this height, and it’s not the highest floor. You don’t have to worry about moisture and water leakage. In short, it’s a golden floor.
"The scenery around here looks a bit familiar." Huang Xue looked at it enviously for a long time, and suddenly felt that the exterior of the picture was a bit familiar, so she subconsciously said something, and as soon as she finished speaking, she remembered it.
"Ah, this is the newly built high-end community in Chaoyang, right? I remember that there is a subway station right outside the door, and there is a big park nearby." After finishing speaking, she looked at Cheng Zimo, obviously wanting to confirm Is your guess correct?
Cheng Zimo smiled and nodded.
Huang Xue's eyes turned red with jealousy. She recently wanted to buy a house in Kyoto, so she looked around for houses, so she had an impression of this high-end community. However, she had never even entered this community because the houses here were the cheapest. She couldn't even afford it. They all cost three or eight figures.
As for Cheng Zimo's house, it would have to start with a four, maybe even a five.
Envious, so envious. Huang Xue secretly stared at Cheng Zimo with red eyes, thinking in her mind that this man was so lucky. His master gave him such a nice big house when he got married, and I heard that his wife She was the stewardess assigned to Nie Wei's private jet, and after so many years of hard work, she had only saved a few million, and she couldn't even afford to buy a small house.
Thinking of this, Huang Xue couldn't help but look at Cheng Kun with resentment. The moment her small eyes came into contact with Cheng Kun's, the latter immediately trembled.
It's terrible, how can one person's resentment be so great.
Cheng Kun is simple but not stupid. He understands it as soon as he thinks about it. He is envious of Cheng Zimo. Not to mention Huang Xue's envy, even he is envious. The house he lives in now is not as good as Cheng Zimo's. Woolen cloth.
"What are you looking at me for? Even if you stare at me like this, I can't possibly buy you a house. I'm not Nie Wei and have too much money to spend."
"Hey, no personal attacks allowed."
"I'm just stating a fact."
After laughing for a moment, Nie Wei said to Huang Xue: "Don't envy others. Come to Fanxing in a while. As long as you work hard and do a good job, the company will also allocate a house to you when the time comes."
"Really!?" Huang Xue blurted out. After asking, he realized that there was something wrong with his words. He quickly explained: "Brother Nie Wei, I'm not doubting it. I'm just too surprised."
"It doesn't matter. When I announced this, many people were like you, but it is true. Of course, the conditions to be met are not simple. The first is to work for Fanxing for more than ten years and perform well."
"That's it." When Huang Xue heard this condition, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, in ten years, any accident may happen. Maybe he won't work at Fanxing in ten years.
"What, it looks like you're going to buy a house soon?"
Hearing Nie Wei's question, Huang Xue nodded quickly: "I have saved money and want to buy my own house in this city. After all, you only have your own house to have a family."
"Then don't worry. Employees who meet certain standards can get a discount on buying a house at Fanxing. I'll ask someone to reserve one for you. I can't say how much more it will be, but at least it will save you hundreds of thousands. Of course, if you want to buy a house of hundreds of square meters, just pretend I didn't say that."
"No, no, I just want to buy a one-bedroom." Huang Xue's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she hurriedly explained, fearing that Nie Wei would misunderstand something and not reserve a place for her.
"Just kidding." Seeing Huang Xue anxious, Nie Wei laughed instead.
Huayi's benefits are good, and Cheng Kun's annual income is not small, but for an agent, if it is normal, it is already amazing to make hundreds of thousands a year, after all, the bulk of it is actually taken away by the company.
Of course, those who privately cheat artists, such as a certain dark-eyed agent, are not included.
Nie Wei knows this Huang Xue. He has been with Cheng Kun for about five years. Before that, he should have been with a popular artist for three or four years. It is considered a good income to save two or three million in less than ten years in the industry.
After the meal, Nie Wei asked the driver to take Cheng Kun home, and he called Zhou Duoduo and asked her to drive over to pick him up.
About twenty minutes later, Zhou Duoduo arrived at the restaurant in a black Audi A6.
"Hello, Brother Zimo." After meeting, Zhou Duoduo first greeted Cheng Zimo, and then looked at the drunk Nie Wei, and said disdainfully: "Brother, you drank so much again, you see I won't tell my sister-in-law."
"Are you annoying? You just know how to tell tales."
"Who told you to drink so much? My sister-in-law specifically told me to control you when she went out to film." Zhou Duoduo was about to help Nie Wei up, but Nie Wei stood up directly.
He was not drunk at all, but as a public figure, he must always keep in mind the principle of not driving after drinking.
The same was true for Cheng Zimo on the side. Although he looked drunk, his head was actually quite clear, at least he would not be dizzy or confused.
"Duoduo, how are you studying recently?" Nie Wei asked casually after getting into the car.
"Not bad, the teacher praised me for my progress, but I haven't been in a real crew since the last time I filmed "Signal", so I don't know how much I have improved." Zhou Duoduo replied.
After saying that, she didn't start the car, but stared at Nie Wei, which made Nie Wei feel creepy.
