Chapter 1414 1516. Boss Wang is very angry
"Woo woo woo..."
"Idiot."
"Hubby, look at Xixi, she's laughing at me."
"Big idiot."
Nie Wei couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Shu Chang, who was crying and complaining to him.
Just now, when he saw Shu Chang running over, he felt bad. When he saw her staggering and losing balance, he felt bad. As a result, she naturally fell. Fortunately, there was a pile of snow shoveled out by the staff nearby. Shu Chang fell on it. Except for her embarrassed appearance, she didn't even have a scratch.
"Even you laugh at me!" Shu Chang looked at the smile in Nie Wei's eyes and immediately got 'angry'. With her mouth open, she grabbed Nie Wei's arm like an angry puppy and was about to bite.
Nie Wei couldn't help it this time. He smiled and pushed Shu Chang away, saying, "You're over 30 years old, and you're still so impatient. You dare to run on such a slippery road. If you don't fall, who else will you fall on?"
"Aren't I happy to see you? You don't feel sorry for me anymore." Shu Chang couldn't bite Nie Wei, and looked unhappy.
"I feel bad, of course I feel bad, come and hug me."
"Oh, I can't stand it! Can you guys be more careful, there are outsiders here." Lin Yifei's eyelids twitched as she watched from the side. The couple was too mushy, and she felt particularly redundant.
"Are you still here?" Shu Chang looked up at her and said with a smile.
Lin Yifei was so angry. Did they really treat her like air? Fortunately, she was not easy to mess with. If it were an ordinary person, she would have left immediately, but she didn't leave, she just sat there.
And Lin Yifei not only sat there, but also stared at Shu Chang and Nie Wei.
"Don't quarrel with the two of you, everyone has left, this place is so creepy." Nie Wei said as everyone on the set left.
The studio was originally very empty, and at this time, several headlights were turned off, leaving only dim small lights to illuminate, making the studio very quiet, especially those dark corners where the lights could not reach, which was even more weird.
"Have you ever heard of the story of the studio ghost? Do you want me to tell you?" Nie Wei said with an emotionless tone, carrying the two women on his back.
The two women who were staring at each other shuddered at the same time when they heard this voice.
"Don't you want to hear it? But I seem to be saying it, why don't you answer me..." Nie Wei's voice began to become weird, and suddenly he turned around and looked at the two women.
"Ah!!!!"
"Ouch, don't hit me, don't hit me."
Ten minutes later, Cheng Zimo started the car, Nie Wei sat in the back and rubbed his waist, while the two women looked angry and stared at Nie Wei with a common hatred.
"What kind of eyes are you looking at? It's obviously me who is suffering." Nie Wei's tone was particularly aggrieved.
Why did his waist hurt so much? It was not because Shu Chang pinched him on the side, and why his arms were blue and purple, it was also because Lin Yifei hit him on the other side.
But these two women looked aggrieved.
"Who told you to scare us?" Shu Chang still has lingering fears when she thinks of Nie Wei's eerie face when he turned around just now. It was too scary!
At that moment, she felt her legs were weak. It was the kind of feeling that she wanted to run, but her legs seemed to be non-existent.
Lin Yifei on the side also nodded. She was also scared just now. She broke out in a cold sweat in an instant and still felt particularly uncomfortable.
"Isn't it a joke?" Nie Wei scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I didn't expect to scare you, after all, we are so familiar with each other."
"You don't know how good your acting is, right? Anyway, you are annoying." Lin Yifei slapped Nie Wei again angrily. Shu Chang on the side was unhappy and slapped Lin Yifei.
Nie Wei soon became an outsider because the two women started to quarrel again. It was not until Lin Yifei got off the car and went home that Nie Wei regained his sense of existence.
"Did you finish filming the TV series? Why didn't you tell me when you returned to Kyoto?"
"I just wanted to give you a surprise." Shu Chang felt a little embarrassed when she said this. She didn't get the surprise she wanted, but she lost a big person.
"Tell the crew tomorrow not to mention what happened tonight." Shu Chang said with a stern face, earnestly admonishing Nie Wei.
"But if I tell them to do so, do you believe they will discuss it in private?" Nie Wei asked back.
Upon hearing this, Shu Chang's pretty face suddenly fell. She knew very well that what Nie Wei said was very likely. Gossip is something that will explode the more it is suppressed. The more it is not allowed to be discussed, the more people will be curious and participate.
Alas, she will never forget the embarrassing moment tonight.
"Okay, don't worry, the crew can talk about it. At most, you don't have to come to visit the set recently. I will also ask everyone not to spread it outside. As long as the group of entertainment reporters don't know, it's fine."
"You still have to visit the set. If you don't come, won't it seem that I care and feel guilty?" Shu Chang replied.
In fact, "care" and "guilty" are minor issues. She still hopes to spend more time with Nie Wei, especially when she thinks that after Nie Wei finishes the movie, the two will officially hold a wedding. She can't wait to stick to Nie Wei all the time during this period.
Nie Wei smiled and nodded.
Luo Yuan is also seriously implementing her plan to recruit people, and as Nie Wei suggested, she began to focus on Hong Kong Island and Formosa.
Especially Formosa, after understanding it, Luo Yuan felt that it was a great treasure that had not been excavated.
When people usually mention Taiwan, their impressions are more about variety shows, idol dramas or Qiong Yao dramas. These are the general impressions of mainland people on Taiwan. As for Taiwan's movies, everyone basically sneers.
Especially in the past ten years, there are only a handful of Taiwan movies that can achieve high box office. This is not an adjective, but a real two times. You don't need two hands, you can even count them with one hand.
But in fact, Taiwan movies have also had their own glorious time. Just like in China, in the 1980s, during the new wave of Taiwan movies, many well-known movies were actually born.
For example, the very classic work "The Wrong Car" tells the touching story of the retired veteran Uncle Ya from Taiwan raising his adopted daughter Amei. This movie also has a classic interlude called "The Wine is Dry", which has touched countless people. There are also excellent songs such as "The Same Moonlight" and "Please Follow Me", which also come from this movie.
In addition to "The Wrong Car", there are many excellent films such as "Time Story", "Small Town Story", "Good Morning Taiwan", "Blue Gate", "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land", "Love of the Operator", etc., all of which are from Taiwan.
This period of glory came very suddenly and was very short. In the new century, Taiwan's films quickly declined, especially in the past ten years, and almost disappeared in the Asian film market.
The root cause is that they have gone astray.
Looking at the history of Taiwan's films, you will find that the film directors here love art films too much, just like the mainland film directors in the 1980s and 1990s, who are full of thoughts about how to express their thoughts, and of course the most important thing is how to win awards.
It was not until the appearance of Director Feng's New Year's film and Director Zhang's "Hero" blockbuster that the status of domestic commercial film directors gradually rose. As Hollywood films pay more and more attention to this market, the atmosphere of Chinese films gradually moved towards commercialization.
The situation in Taiwan is even worse. They are immersed in the dream of the new wave of movies, and they wake up later than domestic directors, or they are just pretending to sleep. Many directors here are more extreme than domestic ones. Even in the new century, they still disdain commercial movies.
Under the self-contained, art films are naturally inferior to commercial films with more exciting plots and special effects, and the market is also sluggish with the sluggish box office of movies.
At present, the film market in Taiwan is more like a place of exile. Not to mention that Hollywood does not pay attention to it, even the neighboring Hong Kong Island and mainland movies do not pay attention to it.
Moreover, on the annual box office rankings of Taiwan movies, sometimes there is not a single local movie in the top ten, which shows how miserable Taiwan movies are.
But although it is miserable, there are many talents.
In particular, there are many talented directors of art.
Although Luo Yuan does not pay much attention to art films, this type of film is also indispensable for a mature film and television company.
Because a film and television company should not only value pure interests, but also have spiritual pursuits, just like rich people. If you are rich, you are a nouveau riche, but if you have some elegant hobbies, then you are different, and you may even be given the elegant title of Confucian businessman.
The same is true for film and television companies. They urgently need commercial films to make money, and they also need art films to win awards.
It is the hard truth to grasp both.
So in order to tap the talents here, Luo Yuan even made a special business trip to Taiwan and personally visited several well-known directors.
But the process was not smooth. Several big directors expressed their intention to come to the mainland to shoot movies, but they also had many concerns. After Luo Yuan discovered these problems, she also reminded herself in her heart.
Although she was frustrated at the beginning, Luo Yuan was not discouraged. Since she couldn't invite these old guys, she set her sights on the younger generation of directors in Taiwan.
Luo Yuan valued several targets and thought they were good candidates.
In the process of Luo Yuan's contact with these young directors, she found that they were completely different from the famous directors before. The latter were full of concerns, while the former were particularly motivated. In particular, they showed extreme desire for the opportunities provided by Huayi.
A young director even whispered to Luo Yuan during dinner.
"Mr. Luo, I think the current Taiwan film market is like a cage. We are all imprisoned. If we can't get out of here, we can't see the future."
Luo Yuan agreed with this statement.
After she negotiated with six outstanding young directors in Taiwan, she went to Hong Kong Island again and signed three more directors here.
Hong Kong Island directors have a very good sense of business.
Because the film market here has not gone astray from the beginning, everyone is going for the box office, otherwise in that era, Hong Kong Island movies would not be called the "Oriental Hollywood".
Then Luo Yuan moved to the mainland and made a lightning move. In just one month, she acquired four film companies and won several film and TV directors she liked. At this point, Luo Yuan's plan has basically been completed by 90%.
As for the remaining 10%, Luo Yuan hopes to sign several well-known directors. After all, those young directors are not enough to have potential. They are not yet capable of taking on big responsibilities. Luo Yuan needs to find some capable and experienced directors to share Nie Wei's pressure.
For this goal, Luo Yuan set her sights on her old employer, Chen Jiashang of Huayi.
However, Huayi is not like those small companies. Not only can they not keep their people, they can't even keep their own companies. As soon as Luo Yuan sent someone to contact Chen Jiashang, Boss Wang knew about it.
When he heard the news, Boss Wang's nose was almost crooked with anger.
So they are not poaching my actors, but my directors?
Chen Jiashang is also a big treasure in Boss Wang's mind. You should know that besides "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the most popular series of movies of Huayi is directed by Chen Jiashang.
This director's style is diversified. To put it bluntly, he knows how to adapt to the market and never sticks to one type. He can shoot everything, including comedy, action, fantasy, and even art films.
Such a versatile director is a treasure in any company.
Boss Wang was very angry and called Luo Yuan, who wanted to poach her, to question her and warn her not to do such tricks again.
"Boss Wang, I don't understand what you are talking about. I did have some contact with Director Chen, but we just had a cup of coffee together. Please don't be too sensitive."
"Luo Yuan, are you still playing this trick in front of your uncle Wang? In short, be careful, don't bring unnecessary trouble to the company because of your recklessness." Boss Wang's words were not polite at all, and there was a hint of warning.
Boss Wang was very wary of Nie Wei, but he was a little disdainful of Luo Yuan.
After all, when Luo Yuan joined Huayi, she was just a little assistant. This was because Luo Kai had worked for the company for many years. As for later, if Nie Wei hadn't pushed her, she would never have been able to become the vice president of Huayi.
So Boss Wang looked down on this former assistant of Huayi from the bottom of his heart.
But what Boss Wang didn't expect was that less than a week after this phone call, Chen Jiashang ran to Fanxing.
Bang bang bang bang!
Boss Wang felt like he had been slapped in the face several times. He didn't even smile when he received the 10 million yuan liquidated damages.
How could he smile? He was almost crying with anger!
Boss Wang was deeply irritated by Chen Jiashang's poaching. He was so angry that he even posted a "manifesto" to Luo Yuan on his social account.
Luo Yuan was not a pushover either. After knowing this, she immediately responded. The two of them started several rounds of verbal battles, attracting hundreds of millions of onlookers.
While they were arguing non-stop, Nie Wei's filming went exceptionally smoothly.
