Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Zhou Xun's desperate attitude really surprised Nie Wei, but the surprise was only for a moment. He thought more about whether there was a deeper conspiracy behind Zhou Xun's words when Huayi was about to go public.

After all, shopping malls are like battlefields, and you must not overestimate the kindness of others. Nie Wei believes that when Huayi is about to reap both glory and money, there will also be many jealous people thinking about how to see Huayi being unlucky, and these Among those who are jealous, there may not be those who will take practical actions.

Think about it, if before Huayi goes public, Zhou Xun, who is currently Huayi’s nominal first sister, wants to terminate the contract, it will definitely have a big impact on Huayi’s listing.

"Zhou Xun, I want to know, is this your idea, or was it someone else's idea for you?" Nie Wei pondered for a moment and asked.

Nie Wei's rhetorical question was obviously beyond Zhou Xun's expectation, and she was startled. Originally, she thought Nie Wei would give her an answer directly.

However, when faced with Nie Wei's question, Zhou Xun came to his senses and immediately gave the answer: "Mr. Nie, this is just an idea of ​​mine. It's not an impulse. I've thought about it very clearly."

Zhou Xun was afraid that Nie Wei would think that she was impulsive, so he went out of his way to explain it.

But after hearing Zhou Xun's answer, Nie Wei couldn't help but frown slightly, looked at Zhou Xun, and said something that Zhou Xun didn't expect.

"Has the company done anything wrong to you over the years?" Nie Wei asked seriously.

"Uh!" Zhou Xun was a little dumbfounded. He didn't understand why Nie Wei would ask such a question. He subconsciously replied: "No, the company treats me very well."

"But why are you trying to embarrass the company at this juncture?" Nie Wei frowned slightly and continued to ask, but this time Nie Wei continued without waiting for Zhou Xun to answer.

"You should know that the company is currently in a critical period of listing, and every move is watched by investors and stockholders. Every move and change will affect the results after the listing."

"If you are negotiating with the company about the contract at this time, where will that put the company?"

"In recent years, the company has produced at least five A-level scripts for you to choose from every year. The choice of commercial endorsements has also taken into account your own positioning. You have never given in to money, and you have various benefits in the company. They are all top-notch, but what I don’t understand is why you would choose to go against the company in this way at this time.”

When he said this, Nie Wei looked at Zhou Xun, whose face was already a little pale, in confusion. There was no anger in his eyes, only confusion.

"Mr. Nie, listen to me, I really didn't think that much." Zhou Xun was really panicking at this time. If Nie Wei said it, wouldn't she become an ungrateful white-eyed wolf?

Just when Zhou Xun was about to explain further, Nie Wei spoke first.

"I believe you." Nie Wei only replied with three words, but looking at Nie Wei's eyes of faith, all the words Zhou Xun originally wanted to explain got stuck in his throat and he forgot to say them out.

Looking at Zhou Xun who was staring at him blankly, Nie Wei showed a faint smile.

"According to your age, I should call you sister. I still remember that when Huayi was poached from most of the company's artists, it was at a time of crisis. Everyone outside thought that Huayi was going to collapse and be doomed. Even Brother Zhonglei looked depressed."

"At that time, it was you, sister, who resolutely joined the big family of Huayi, regardless of the rumors outside, and established a pillar for this big family. It can be said that you were the savior of Huayi."

Nie Wei's words made Zhou Xun blush a little. After all, Nie Wei praised her so much that she was too noble. She knew in her heart that her joining Huayi was far from noble. There were also many interests involved in the process, but it was undeniable. Yes, it was indeed the craziest gamble in her life.

The final result proved that she made the right bet. She used her star career as a bet and obtained numerous high-quality film resources. She successfully transitioned from a TV drama actor to a film actor, and the accumulated reputation was enough to last her a lifetime.

So to a certain extent, her choice of Huayi at that time did stabilize Huayi's faltering trend, but Huayi also made her a success. Even if there was some kindness at the beginning, the company's dedicated cultivation of her over the years has mostly been repaid. .

"Sister, I believe in your feelings for Huayi, and naturally I also believe that what you said was just an honest mistake."

"I also understand your urgent reasons. To be offensive, sister, you are already thirty-five years old. Even if you take good care of yourself, you still have a childlike face. But for an actress, the golden age of an actor has already passed. There are not many awards left, and you have won almost the same amount of awards in recent years. You just need to prove yourself in commercial films, so you made this decision, right?"

Nie Wei's analysis really speaks to Zhou Xun's heart. Isn't that what she thinks? What she lacks now is a high-grossing movie to prove that she can not only win awards but also box office.

In reality, a high-grossing movie can also stabilize Zhou Xun's position in the industry. You must know that among China's top actresses, Zhou Xun will always be ranked at the bottom, because until now, she has There is also no movie that can achieve good box office results, which also restricts her upward development.

Combined with her age, it is not difficult to guess Zhou Xun's urgent thoughts.

"Nie Wei, I am really touched that you can understand my difficulties."

"I understand, but I can't give you the role just because of this." Nie Wei's words startled Zhou Xun, who was originally immersed in the emotion, and then she couldn't help but frowned and looked at Nie Wei.

"Sister, this movie is the company's top priority project in the next few years. It is a series of movies, so we must be very careful in casting. And if I choose you, there will be a lot of people gossiping about you. I don't want to be the bad guy who ruins your reputation." Facing Zhou Xun's puzzled eyes, Nie Wei replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun was a little anxious and quickly replied: "Nie Wei, those gossips are nothing, and when the movie is shot and everyone sees the effect, I believe all the gossips will turn into praise."

Nie Wei was a little surprised to hear Zhou Xun's words. He really didn't expect this woman to be so confident. From what she said, as long as she acted, the movie would have a good reputation.

However, Nie Wei had also heard about Zhou Xun's performance.

The highest evaluation he had heard of Zhou Xun was that as long as Zhou Xun was there, even a bad movie would become a good one.

This was simply the supreme evaluation of an actor.

Nie Wei thought that this was a bit exaggerated for Zhou Xun, but it also proved from the side that Zhou Xun's image and acting skills were indeed recognized by many people, which was probably the source of her confidence.

"Sister Zhou Xun, since you are so confident, why do you have to come to me to take this backdoor, and even use the contract as a bargaining chip? Since you are so confident, you should believe that you are the best candidate for Shirley Yang, and you should face the audition bravely, right?"

"Or do you think someone will treat you unfairly in the audition? You don't think that person is me, do you?" Nie Wei suddenly asked, and this made Zhou Xun's heart jump.

Because Nie Wei's guess was really close.

The reason why she was in a hurry to threaten Nie Wei with the contract was because she was afraid that Nie Wei would favor Fan Binbin, who had a closer relationship with him, during the audition.

Especially recently, the company has always spread rumors about how good the relationship between Nie Wei and Fan Binbin is, how many times they have visited each other, how they can joke with each other in private, and even rumors that Fan Binbin's popularity in recent years was arranged by Nie Wei himself.

Zhou Xun naturally would not believe all these rumors, but she would also be very worried. Even if 30% of these rumors are true, the relationship between Nie Wei and Fan Binbin is likely to affect the fairness of the audition.

Nie Wei looked at Zhou Xun's face and knew that he was right, but Nie Wei did not explain anything. No matter how he explained this matter, if a person had a thorn in his heart, it would not be so easy to eliminate it with a few words of explanation.

"Sister Zhou Xun, how about this, I can avoid the audition for the female lead this time, and leave it to Brother Zhonglei or any senior executive of the company you trust." Nie Wei felt that instead of explaining so many words, it would be more straightforward to give a guarantee.

When Nie Wei first exposed her thoughts, Zhou Xun blushed. After all, she was speculating about others without any reason. Nie Wei's subsequent assurance made her face flush. Looking at Nie Wei's frank eyes, she always felt that she was judging others by her own standards.

"Sister Zhou Xun, don't feel embarrassed. Although what you said about the entertainment industry not being fair makes sense, I will do my best to maintain the word "fairness" in Huayi Company. I dare not guarantee absolute fairness, but I will do my best to ensure that you will be given the opportunity to compete in a fair environment as much as possible."

Listening to Nie Wei's sincere Chinese words, and coupled with Nie Wei's reputation in the company over the years, Zhou Xun's thoughts finally changed.

"Mr. Nie, you don't need to say anything. You believe in me so unconditionally. How could I doubt you again? I was impulsive today. I shouldn't use the contract as a bargaining chip to threaten the company. I didn't think that doing so would bring so much trouble to the company. Fortunately, you woke me up in time. No matter what, I will not give up the audition, and I will do my best to get this role." Zhou Xun made a statement, which was considered to be a period for today's matter.

"Then I look forward to your wonderful performance in the audition. Come on." Nie Wei said with a smile.

Zhou Xun walked out of Nie Wei's office door with an indescribable ease. The agent who had been waiting anxiously outside the door ran over after seeing Zhou Xun come out, looking like he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

She followed Zhou Xun all the time. After the two entered Zhou Xun's exclusive lounge, the agent quickly closed and locked the door.

"Xun brother, what's the result? Did you get the role, or are we going to find a new company?"

"Neither." Zhou Xun smiled and replied.

But this answer made the agent a little dumbfounded. What does "neither" mean? Did Nie Wei put too much pressure on Zhou Xun, so that Zhou Xun did not say those words?

The agent thought about Zhou Xun's answer, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible.

Just when she began to imagine how Zhou Xun was frightened by Nie Wei, Zhou Xun, who had taken off her suit jacket, spoke again. This time, she did not talk about the contract, but asked the agent to drive her home.

Nie Wei's promise gave Zhou Xun a lot of confidence. As long as Nie Wei guaranteed fairness, she would not be afraid of any competitors, whether it was the current Fan Binbin or Li Binbin who did not participate. In Zhou Xun's view, she was the best one.

A few days before the audition, she will go home and retreat. In her opinion, a lion will fight a rabbit with all its strength, not to mention that the opponent is not that weak, so she must be fully prepared and adjust herself to the best state.

Zhou Xun looked at herself in the mirror, and her eyes were full of fighting spirit, which made her suddenly return to the time when she was interviewing for the role of Princess Taiping in "The Story of the Palace of Ming Dynasty". She was also so expectant and confident.

While Zhou Xun was preparing for the audition, Nie Wei invited Wang Zhonglei to his office and told him about Zhou Xun's matter just now.

In Nie Wei's opinion, although he temporarily stabilized Zhou Xun with words, this matter was obviously not over yet. As long as Zhou Xun's contract was not resolved, this matter would never be settled, and this matter naturally could not bypass Wang Zhonglei. The sooner he told him, the sooner he would be mentally prepared.

"Nonsense, she was threatening the company. It seems that I really indulged her too much." After listening to Nie Wei's explanation, Wang Zhonglei was quite angry.

"Brother Zhonglei, control your anger." Nie Wei advised in a deep voice: "At this time, we should not pursue Zhou Xun's actions, but think about how to keep this female artist, or if we really can't keep her, what plan should we make to minimize the impact."

"It's difficult." Wang Zhonglei sighed, his brows almost wrinkled into a knot.

He really didn't want to give this role to Zhou Xun now, because he always felt that giving this role to Zhou Xun was like the Huayi Company he represented compromised with Zhou Xun. If this set a precedent, every artist would threaten the company with the contract in the future, and then the company would not be able to continue to operate?

"Brother Zhonglei, it's not as troublesome as you think." After listening to Wang Zhonglei's inner thoughts, Nie Wei smiled and replied: "First of all, as for the contract, according to Zhou Xun, only she and her agent should be involved in this matter. As long as they keep their mouths shut, we will be generous and treat the impact of this matter as if it didn't happen."

"And I also promised to give Zhou Xun a fair competition environment. I can't just say something and then contradict myself a few days later, right?"

"The most important and most crucial thing is that Zhou Xun's own value is worth fighting for, isn't it?"

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise for the generous reward.
