Chapter 1440 1542. New film crashes
Hearing Shu Chang's words, his body and his thoughts were all frozen at this moment.
Nie Wei stood there blankly for a long time before he came back to his senses. He turned his head stiffly and asked with a wry smile: "You know everything?"
"I didn't see the news, but Sister Lisha sent me a text message to comfort me. I saw the text message and searched the Internet, and I knew it." Shu Chang explained with a smile, and did not forget to remind Nie Wei: "Don't blame Sister Lisha, she is very kind."
"Of course I won't blame her." Nie Wei asked: "Then why didn't you tell me?"
"It's interesting to watch you acting. Zhou Duoduo accompanied me for the whole afternoon, like a little monitor. I have never seen her so considerate."
"And eating dumplings in the evening, is that the contact code you set?" Shu Chang said, and winked at Nie Wei playfully.
What else can Nie Wei say, just continue to smile bitterly.
But behind the bitter smile, there was indeed deep worry. It was not the first time that Shu Chang had a bad mental state because of the child. This was like the inner demon of cultivating immortals. No matter how strong your magic power was or how high your realm was, you would be very sad if you encountered it.
As an old couple for many years, Shu Chang knew what Nie Wei was thinking when she saw her silence, and then smiled and comforted her: "Are you worried about me? I'm really fine."
"In fact, I also want to thank that reporter. Although we didn't mean to go to the welfare home, this reporter's report did provide me with a method. If we really don't have a baby in the future, we can actually adopt one, right?"
"It's a pity that we have such excellent genes. If it was our own baby, it would definitely be very beautiful or handsome." Shu Chang said this, touched her belly, and sighed regretfully.
As for the child, she naturally still hoped to give birth to it herself. As for adoption, this was just a last resort for Shu Chang. Even if the child was carefully selected, how could it compare to the offspring connected with her blood?
But the little belly was helpless.
"Okay, don't think too much. We are only in our early thirties. There is still plenty of time. The doctor also said that we are in good health. It is bad luck that we don't have a baby. It may also be related to our busy work. I will completely stop working after the movie is released." Nie Wei said seriously.
"There is no need to do this..." Shu Chang wanted to refuse after hearing this, but Nie Wei interrupted her immediately: "We have been married for so many years, and we haven't been together for a long time. It just so happens that I have made up my mind to let it go this time. When the time comes, we can prepare for the wedding together and get close to each other..."
Shu Chang blushed a little and nodded shyly.
"It's a pity. You have achieved such an achievement today with great difficulty. If you work hard for a few more years, you may become the director with the highest box office in the world..." Although Shu Chang agreed, he still felt quite regretful in his heart.
According to the box office forecast of some professional media for "Captain China", as long as the minimum level is reached, the global cumulative box office of Nie Wei's films will exceed 7 billion US dollars.
And this achievement will also help Nie Wei surpass Peter Jackson and the Russo brothers to become the second highest-grossing director in the world.
Nie Wei's age also means that he is destined to be more highly expected. Although Spielberg has won the honor of being the first director to break the 10 billion box office in the world, many people think that the 73-year-old Spielberg's director career has entered the twilight of his life, while Nie Wei, who is only 35 years old, is at the peak of his career.
This nearly 40-year gap is enough for Nie Wei to catch up with his predecessor and surpass him. Many people even think that Nie Wei will not only become the second director in the world to break the 10 billion cumulative box office, but his goal can even be set to 20 billion or even more.
After all, Nie Wei is about to win the 7 billion cumulative box office, and it only took twelve years.
"Is your mood really not affected?" After a moment of silence, Nie Wei couldn't help asking again.
Shu Chang rolled his eyes at him: "How could it not have an impact? But it's okay. Besides, this kind of news is not the first time, but this time it's a bit of a big deal."
"Well, I heard that this newspaper paid for popularity."
"That's really unethical. Help me deal with them." Hearing this, Shu Chang immediately said angrily, but after saying it, he also laughed: "It's nothing. Besides, they are actually quite miserable. I saw the comments online, and they are all scolding them."
Nie Wei also laughed.
Many netizens are very real, especially in the virtual space. While negative energy is magnified, positive energy is also magnified.
For artists with good reputations like Nie Wei and Shu Chang, both fans and passers-by will take the initiative to protect them. What's more, Nie Wei and Shu Chang are doing charity activities this time, and they are so low-key, which makes netizens feel more righteous and completely define that newspaper as a "villain" and "sneaky".
But I think the editor-in-chief should not care, or should still be secretly happy.
After all, being black and red is also red. Whether you are a star or a media, the most feared thing is that no one pays attention. As long as there are people paying attention, no matter black or white, they all have a general name, called popularity.
With popularity comes attention, and this is the nutrition of the media.
Look at those entertainment newspapers and magazines, which one is not scolded bloody, but what is the result? The more they are scolded, the more glorious they are. After all, they are not traffic idols and do not eat fans' food.
"Honey, I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep first." Shu Chang yawned, his eyelids heavy. After saying this, he fell on the bed without waiting for Nie Wei to answer, and even had slippers hanging on his feet.
"Are you really that sleepy?" Nie Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and helped Shu Chang take off his slippers.
"I'm so sleepy, so sleepy, so sleepy. I can't open my eyelids now." Shu Chang muttered, his tone vague and lazy.
"Then you have a good sleep, I'll take care of the work." Nie Wei said, then took the notebook and left the bedroom and went to the study room next to it.
Nie Wei has been relatively free recently, but busyness is coming soon.
The post-production of the movie is nearing completion, and the next step is to submit it for review and set the release date. At the same time, the publicity must also keep up with the progress. At this stage, even if Nie Wei can take a break from his busy schedule, his schedule is full.
The national roadshow in 12 cities is just the beginning. In addition, Nie Wei will also appear on at least five variety shows. He is still relatively few. For example, Cheng Kun and Lin Yifei have appeared on twice as many shows as them.
The key is that all these must be completed before the movie is released, because they have to wait until the movie is released to cooperate with the promotion and broadcast, and it will be too late to record it then.
In addition, Nie Wei also needs to make several trailers of varying lengths.
There are also various marketing strategies, all of which require Nie Wei to participate in, or at least to be informed and understood. The big and small tasks together will make Nie Wei have no so-called "free time" for at least two months in the future.
While Nie Wei was busy with the work at hand, Boss Wang was very troubled.
Because of the collision!
Specifically, it was Ning Hao's new movie and Nie Wei's new movie that collided.
The shooting speed of "Captain China" greatly exceeded Boss Wang's expectations. He originally thought that Nie Wei's movie would be released in the summer of next year, but he didn't expect it to be released directly in the Lunar New Year's Day, or on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
And Ning Hao's "Crazy Alien" was finally scheduled, three days earlier than Nie Wei's new movie.
In fact, there were two choices for Boss Wang at that time. One was the current schedule, and the other was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. If there was no such thing as "Captain China" being scheduled, then Boss Wang would not hesitate and would definitely choose the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
After all, the days before the Lunar New Year are not particularly good.
After all, people are generally buying New Year's goods or greeting relatives and friends during these days, so how can they have time to go to the movies? On the contrary, after the New Year, everyone is free, and it is normal for a family or friends to make an appointment to go to the movies.
But Boss Wang was helpless.
How dare he put his new movie, which he had high hopes for, behind Nie Wei's new movie, especially so close to it.
You have to know that movies are sometimes about one step ahead of the other. The difference between being released one day earlier and one day later may be a world of difference for a movie.
Boss Wang did not dare to take this risk, so he could only release it first, even if it would lose some box office.
Nie Wei didn't know that Boss Wang was competing with him. The competitiveness of the movies in the Lunar New Year period was actually quite good. After all, 80% of the movies that could be scheduled in this period were directed by first-class directors in the industry. Their works basically had a lower limit guarantee, and it was impossible for a work like "Dreaming" to fall below the bottom line.
Nie Wei also saw Ning Hao's new film among these works, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the Lunar New Year period cake was so big that even if a bunch of big directors came to grab it, it could always feed a few people.
Nie Wei believed that he must have eaten the most and the most full.
The cold wind blew in the middle of the night, but Yu Hai and the big bearded man were hot in their hearts. After getting Nie Wei's promise, the two returned to the newspaper office and began to write their resignation letters secretly.
This thing is actually very simple. Find a template on WORD or WPS, and then fill in all the blanks. As for the reason for resignation, just write "lack of ability". Anyway, the next employer has been found, and it doesn't matter what is in this report.
The two spent half an hour to finish the resignation letter, and used the company's printer to type the resignation letter and put it in an envelope.
Yu Hai wrote the words "resignation letter" on the envelope himself. After doing all this, he looked at the bearded man next to him and found that he was staring at the envelope in his hand in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?" Yu Hai leaned over and asked.
"I just feel weird. Although our newspaper is not big and the environment is shabby, I have been here for almost 20 years. I never thought that there would be a day when I would leave here."
"Hey, why are you thinking about these useless things." Yu Hai smiled and patted the bearded man's shoulder, and advised: "We are changing jobs, and we are jumping directly from a small puddle into the sea. This is called a strong dragon entering the sea. We have a new start in a new place and a broader sky. We can develop better at that time."
"Forget it, I am over 40 years old. How long can I work? But you can try hard. I think you are quite suitable to be an entertainment reporter. At least you are lucky." The bearded man replied with a smile.
He was not joking, but speaking from the bottom of his heart.
He felt that Yu Haiyun was really good.
He was punished by the editor-in-chief, but he was able to take photos of Nie Wei and Shu Chang doing charity activities.
He was obviously robbed of the credit by Wang Danyang and the editor-in-chief, but in the end he was favored by Nie Wei, and even Big Beard himself benefited from it, and he went directly from a small newspaper to an employee of a large media.
This is not just a doubling of the salary, the key is that the status in the industry is also different.
You know, in X Newspaper, they can't get a number for some major interviews. Even if they can get a number, they are at the bottom of the media. At the press conference, they are at the back. Even if they jump and raise their hands, the stars and directors on the stage may not see them.
But now that I have joined Fanxing, it is different. In the future, when I go out for interviews, I will definitely be in the front row. When I meet colleagues and say that I am a reporter from Fanxing, most of them will give me three points of courtesy.
This is a big media, this is a big backer.
Big Beard really thinks that Yu Hai can make another push. If he doesn't think about himself, this is how his life will be. Being able to enter Fanxing has already achieved his ultimate career goal. The next step is to stay in Fanxing until retirement, enjoy the high welfare of Fanxing, and spend his old age in peace.
"Thank you for your good words. Let's go and hand in the resignation letter." Yu Hai patted Big Beard's shoulder again, and then resolutely walked towards the editor-in-chief's office.
Big Beard followed him without hesitation.
Seeing Yu Hai and the bearded man knocking on the door, the editor was surprised for a moment, then sneered. Are they coming to admit their mistakes?
The editor thought of one word in his heart, too late!
As the leader of the newspaper, he hated those who were disloyal. Although he was a little biased in this news, he didn't say that he would not give these two people credit, but they dared to go and tell on him.
If they can notify Fanxing today, then can they notify others tomorrow? In the end, will they just sell the news they got to other newspapers?
The editor felt very angry when he thought of this. These guys took the salary paid by the newspaper and ate their own money. I don't want to deal with them properly.
The editor has made up his mind. People like Yu Hai will go directly to the information room of the newspaper. Such a capable and ambitious person is arranged in such a pension department, which is definitely more uncomfortable for him than firing him.
As for the bearded man, cancel his reporter status and let him drive for the company. He can't drive a sedan, that's too much fun, let him drive the interview car, running around every day and night, he won't be tired to death.
The editor-in-chief thought very beautifully, and there was a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Editor-in-chief..."
Hearing the voices of Yu Hai and the bearded man, the editor-in-chief wondered if he was imitating the villain in the movie and putting on a cold and ruthless look?
"This is our resignation report, please deal with it." After Yu Hai said, the two took their resignation letters and put them on the table together.
