Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

"On August 5th, Nie Wei showed up at Kyoto International Airport. Thousands of fans spontaneously organized to come to pick him up. The scene was surrounded by people. In addition, this time Nie Wei returned to Kyoto because the filming mission in Baodao was completely finished. , according to rumors, "Destined to Love You" will also be broadcast in the mainland soon. I believe Nie Wei's fans must be looking forward to it. "

Nie Wei's return to Beijing after a few months naturally attracted the attention of countless fans and media. E-line Media even sent a special photography team to record the grand occasion of fans picking up Nie Wei at the airport gate that day.

It has to be said that in the Internet age, not only online media pay attention to timeliness, but also some traditional media have accelerated their pace. In less than half a day, Nie Wei saw his own report on TV.

In addition to this airport pick-up scene, there is also a separate interview from E-line Media.

Because it was a temporary decision, the place was placed directly in Huayi's lounge. The time was very simple, and there were only three questions in total.

On the TV, the female reporter and Nie Wei greeted each other and immediately took the time to ask: "Hello, Nie Wei, first of all, congratulations on the impressive results of your new TV series Zaobao Island. This time you are back in Kyoto after a few months. What’s your next plan?”

"Have a rest and prepare for my new movie." Nie Wei replied.

"Can you tell us about your new movie?" the female reporter asked quickly.

"The new movie is adapted from an American comic book story. It is an action movie with some personal heroism. In addition, the investment in this movie will be very high and will break the current investment record for mainland movies."

"Wow, can you tell us how much you invested?"

"I won't disclose the specific number, but I can tell you that it is higher than Wuji." Of course Nie Wei would not just tell the media the specific amount of investment, but it is perfectly fine to give the media a hot topic.

Subsequently, the entertainment news reported the news. The overall investment of Wuji is about 350 million. If it is as promised by Nie Wei, then Nie Wei's new film must at least exceed this investment. As for how much it can exceed, no one knew.

"From this investment amount, it can be seen that Nie Wei's ambitions for his new movie are not limited to China or Asia. Perhaps the good box office of "Lonely Agent" in North America gave Nie Wei confidence. His current vision has gradually Looking at the whole world, we still have to wait and see how successful this movie will be."

On the TV, the host was summarizing. Although he didn't express it clearly, Nie Wei could tell that the host or the E-line media behind it was not optimistic about Nie Wei's new film.

Of course, this question is not about the content of Nie Wei's new film. After all, Nie Wei has proven his ability as a screenwriter and director through many films. What they question is the investment amount and goals of Nie Wei's new film. After all, the European and American markets are not that easy to break into. Especially for Asian directors, in the past few decades, many powerful directors have gone to Europe and the United States to make a career, but most of them have failed miserably, and only a few have succeeded.

What's more, Nie Wei's new film is mainly composed of Chinese actors, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty.

"Nie Wei, stop watching TV and come over and wash your hands and eat."

"Okay, right away."

Five minutes later, after washing her hands, Nie Wei came to the dining table and looked at the four dishes on the table. She couldn't help but smile and praised Shu Chang: "Baby, your cooking is getting better and better. It's delicious and delicious." Everything is ready. I’ll give it a try. If it passes the test, you can stop filming and open a restaurant.”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shu Chang rolled his eyes at Nie Wei, then watched Nie Wei take a bite of the braised fish he made, and immediately asked with concern: "How is it, does it suit your appetite? It's salty or bland, I'm afraid It’s not healthy, so I added a little less salt.”

"Well..." Nie Wei looked a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, which suddenly made Shu Chang feel a little worried.

"I've tasted it. It should be fine." Shu Chang said this, but he had already picked up the spoon and was about to taste the taste again. At this moment, Nie Wei, who had been frowning, suddenly showed a bright smile. Said: "It's so delicious, I thought it was made by some national chef."

Shu Chang, who was teased by Nie Wei, angrily hit Nie Wei's arm with chopsticks several times, but there was a smile on his face that could not be concealed, because Nie Wei said that the food she cooked was delicious.

Shu Chang cooked a total of four dishes, braised fish, ground three delicacies, and pork ribs and lotus root soup. These three dishes were Nie Wei's favorite home-cooked dishes, and Shu Chang made a vegetable salad for herself.

Nie Wei took a few mouthfuls of rice and found that Shu Chang was just holding a big bowl of vegetable salad and nibbling on the leaves. The rest of the vegetables were not touched at all. She couldn't help frowning and advised: "Just eating vegetables is not enough." No, you should eat some of these. If you don’t want to eat meat, you might as well eat some vegetables and fish.” As he said that, Nie Wei picked out a large piece of the fish from the belly and dipped it in some soup. Clip to feel comfortable.

"Ah, open your mouth."

"ah."

"That's so good." Nie Wei watched with satisfaction as Shu Chang ate the fish she had picked up. She immediately picked up a piece of lotus root and handed it to Shu Chang's mouth. The girl hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth again and let Nie Wei Wei feeds herself because she feels happy.

Of course, the girl was still very self-conscious. After eating a few bites of the food, although she felt a little reluctant, she still declined Nie Wei to continue picking up food for her.

"I have to attend a fashion show next, and I have to lose another three pounds to meet the standard." Shu Chang explained.

"Instead of eating less, it's better to exercise more. You see, I insist on exercising and eating normally, and I never get fat." Nie Wei smiled and shook his head. He was puzzled that women cared about the two or three pounds of weight. Isn't this just a matter of having sex?

However, since Shu Chang insisted, Nie Wei didn't persuade her anymore, but just told her that she must pay attention to nutrition and not ignore health for beauty.

Nie Wei was very satisfied with the meal. After the meal, he helped Shu Chang wash the bowls and chopsticks, and then the two of them hugged each other and lay on the sofa to watch TV.

The TV was playing Huayi's new idol drama, called "You're Beautiful", which Nie Wei left for Huayi before going to Taiwan to shoot an idol drama. It mainly tells the story of a girl named Gao Meimei who was originally a nun. In order to replace her brother who was recovering from plastic surgery, she joined a popular idol band, got along with the other three big boys in the band, and even found a lifelong love partner.

"I heard that Shishi cried when she was getting her hair cut. She was so tearful that the hairdresser felt so sorry for her that he couldn't bear to do it for a long time." Shu Chang was absent-minded while watching the TV series because she was concentrating on gossiping.

"Did Shishi curse me behind my back?" Nie Wei said with a smile. Lin Shishi was the heroine he designated.

After years of training, Lin Shishi has accumulated considerable popularity and her acting skills have also been improved. In Nie Wei's opinion, she is qualified to be the heroine of a drama, and it is time for her to come to the fore.

So Nie Wei specially chose her as the heroine of this idol drama, hoping to make Lin Shishi completely popular through this idol drama.

In addition, the three roles of the flower boy band, except for the male lead who continued to be given to the company's popular young actor Jing Boran, the second male lead Jiang Xiyu was given to Fu Xinbo, the face of the WIN group. Nie Wei felt that Fu Xinbo's appearance and personality were very suitable for this warm man type role.

In addition, the band's "cute" is played by Ma Tianyu, one of the members of the former F4 handsome boy group. This boy who loves to act like a spoiled child in real life perfectly fits the character's personality. It is enough for him to play the role in his true colors.

As for the remaining roles, Nie Wei did not ask any more questions and left it to the company to arrange.

After a night, Nie Wei, who was satisfied, came to the company to attend a meeting attended by all shareholders.

A while ago, Wang Zhonglei had mentioned to Nie Wei the idea of ​​Huayi going public, and he has been working towards this idea. Recently, this matter has finally come to fruition. What Huayi needs to do now is to integrate the company's shares and make adequate preparations for the listing.

As the company's largest shareholder, Nie Wei naturally cannot be absent from such a meeting.

In addition to Nie Wei, the shareholders on the scene are roughly divided into three categories. One of them is the Huayi founding team composed of brothers Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun and the company's current executives. Among them, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun hold 17% and 15% of the company's equity respectively, and the rest of the founders and executives together have about 6% of the shares.

The second category is external investment. For example, Mr. Ma of Alibaba Group owns about 3% of Huayi's shares, and there are other investment companies. These people probably occupy about 10% of Huayi's shares.

As for the last category, it is naturally the artists.

Among them, Feng Xiaogang bought the most Huayi stocks, about 2%, followed by Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun. Huang Xiaoming owns about 1% of Huayi's shares, Zhou Xun slightly less, but also about 0.8, and the rest, such as Cheng Kun, Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, Lin Yifei, Shu Chang and other pillars of the company, also own about 0.5% of the company's shares, most of which come from company rewards.

However, although the artists do not hold many shares individually, they are numerous, so a group of people together also own nearly 10% of the company's shares.

As for the remaining shares, they are all held in Nie Wei's hands.

Nie Wei holds nearly 42% of Huayi's shares, and is the veritable largest shareholder. It can be said that if Huayi is successfully listed this time, then Nie Wei will inevitably become the person who benefits the most.

However, although these shares are roughly like this, they are scattered among various companies under Huayi, and some of them have no direct relationship, but only cross-holding to determine the equity, and some companies are even completely shell companies. For example, Feng Xiaogang opened a company. Although it is a media company, it actually has no employees. Huayi gave Feng Xiaogang shares by acquiring this company, which can avoid a lot of trouble and loss of interests.

However, now that they are going to go public, these companies naturally need to be integrated.

However, the integration process is not so smooth, because it is too complicated, and many shares are very vague, which requires further discussion.

A meeting lasted for three hours. Some interests were agreed upon, while others were not. In Nie Wei's opinion, it would take at least a long time to argue. After all, the value of the company's listed stocks will inevitably rise sharply. Even if it is 0.1, it is estimated that it will be worth more than 10 million after listing. For many people, this is definitely a lot of money. Even Nie Wei himself is unwilling to give up his interests in vain.

After the meeting, Nie Wei did not leave the company, but came to Wang Zhonglei's office.

"Forget about calling me those people's jobs." Nie Wei said as he entered the room.

Wang Zhonglei smiled helplessly. Although he did have this idea, it was only for a moment, and then he abandoned it. After so many years of contact, he knew very well that Nie Wei was the kind of person who didn't like trouble, and it was not easy for him to delegate such matters involving interests to others.

Moreover, the company was about to go public, and more people would definitely join the Huayi family at that time, and there would definitely be some people with wolfish ambitions. Wang Zhonglei felt that if he could keep the control of the company, he would definitely have to rely on Nie Wei's power.

The power here not only refers to the huge number of shares in Nie Wei's hands, but also his talent, his prestige in the company, etc. He trusted Nie Wei, who had cooperated with him for several years, and he also felt that Nie Wei was definitely his most reliable ally after the company went public, even more reliable than his brother who didn't care about anything and only knew how to play with antiques.

"I'm not looking for you for the board of directors, but to ask you, how is your new movie, can it catch up with this year's New Year's Day?" Wang Zhonglei asked.

Hearing this, Nie Wei spread his hands and responded: "I also want to start filming immediately, but there is no way. Everything needs to be prepared. It will definitely not be in time for the Lunar New Year holiday. I am thankful that it can start filming at the beginning of the year."

"Well, anyway, hurry up. I also hope to take advantage of the momentum of your new movie to go public, and then the company's stock value will definitely increase greatly." Wang Zhonglei firmly believed that Nie Wei could succeed. When Nie Wei proposed a production fee of 500 million, he agreed without hesitation.

Of course, the 500 million was not from Huayi alone. Huayi invested a total of about 200 million, and the remaining 300 million was jointly invested by nearly ten film production companies and investment companies such as Huaying Group. Nie Wei's new movie also created the movie with the most participating investment companies since he was a director.

Just as Wang Zhonglei was about to talk to Nie Wei about the new movie, his office door was suddenly knocked.

The person who knocked on the door was Wang Zhonglei's secretary, who came over with a document for Wang Zhonglei. Nie Wei was not curious about this and was drinking tea by himself, but he did not notice that after reading the document, Wang Zhonglei had already set his sights on him.
