Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Unlike the warm climate in the south, construction units in the north usually stop work in mid-November because the low winter temperature in the north will cause cement to freeze. If construction is carried out, it will not only increase construction costs, but also affect construction quality.

Fortunately, the temperature in Kyoto this year is much warmer than in previous years. If the weather forecast trend is followed, the construction team can at least start work until mid-December.

For this reason, Nie Wei also added two construction teams of equal number of people on the basis of the original construction team, just to ensure that the foundation of the building can be laid before the freezing ground comes in these twenty days.

There are naturally many media visits today. Business tycoons often give back to their alma mater, but Nie Wei is special because he is the only one among the current business tycoons with a net worth of 10 billion who graduated from an art school.

But even such a person who graduated with a performance major now has a wealth that ranks among the top three in the country, so every time he subsidizes the construction of his alma mater, he will attract the attention of many entertainment media.

"This comprehensive experimental building is designed to have 15 floors, including a two-story underground garage. In this building, the first multifunctional screening room owned by our Chinese art school will be built, and there will be a top-level auditorium that can accommodate 2,000 people. In addition, there are..." Standing on the stage, Wang Jinsong, who is already the vice president of Beijing Electric, talked to the media.

He has his own reasons to be proud. As he said, if this comprehensive experimental building is built, the high-tech equipment inside will be top-notch in the country, not to mention in the world.

Just like the multifunctional screening room, it is completely designed according to the current top screening room. It occupies a three-story hall. When you walk into the door, the semicircular giant screen is enough to give people a strong shock. I-MAX3D and even VR movies can be shown here. The key venue can accommodate 600 people, even if several classes come here to attend classes at the same time.

In Wang Jinsong's view, if the previous school screening room is compared to an ordinary battleship, then the screening room in front of him is a top-level aircraft carrier. There is no comparison between the two.

But what is more interesting is that the old projection room of the school, which Wang Jinsong has secretly despised, is now a coveted and popular item in the eyes of others.

After learning that Beijing Electric Power was going to build a new projection room and that most of the equipment had to be updated, Huaxi and Mingzhu Drama Academy immediately asked Beijing Electric Power to buy the equipment of the old projection room of Beijing Electric Power.

Because in the eyes of these schools, even if these equipment had been eliminated by Beijing Electric Power, they were still out of reach before. Now that Beijing Electric Power eliminated them, they also saw the hope of owning these equipment.

Wang Jinsong also told Nie Wei about this as a joke. Nie Wei was thinking at the time that the leaders of these two schools might be envious and jealous when they wrote this report.

Although the income of celebrities is not low, not many of them give back to the school with real money.

This is why the donation of 20 million yuan by the original space-time PAPI to his alma mater caused such a big news. Moreover, Nie Wei's donation to Beijing Electric Power has exceeded 200 million yuan over the years. If this teaching building is completed and equipped with all the equipment inside, Nie Wei's donation to Beijing Electric Power will exceed 500 million yuan.

This donation will make even Huaqing and Beijing University jealous, not to mention the art schools that rarely receive donations.

In addition, including the auditorium, some studios, etc., are all configured according to the top international standards, especially the photography equipment. Nie Wei even bought an IMAX camera for the school to study. This camera alone costs as much as 500,000 US dollars.

There are also 8K cameras, which can shoot pictures with a resolution of 8192X4320 and are compatible with all the popular colors and conversion curves.

There are also ALEXA65 image sensors and Panavision film cameras. The value of these equipment can no longer be measured by money. They are top-level equipment that cannot be bought with money in China. Only big figures like Nie Wei who are well-known in the film and television circles in both China and the United States can get them.

"It's a pity that the school area is still too small, otherwise this comprehensive hall can be built bigger." Looking at the site where construction has already started, Nie Wei suddenly said with some regret.

"This is already good enough. The school can't ask for more." Wang Jinsong smiled and replied.

After all, Beijing University of Electronic Science and Technology is different from comprehensive universities such as Huaqing and Beijing University of Electronic Science and Technology. As an art school, this school covers an area of ​​only 667 acres, while Huaqing, also in Kyoto, covers an area of ​​about 6,000 acres, and Beijing University covers more, about 7,000 acres.

Compared with them, Beijing University of Electronic Science and Technology is really pitifully small.

This also made Nie feel like he had money to donate but had nowhere to spend it, which really made him feel amused.

This is like a person who doesn't eat much. Even if you serve him a full banquet, he may feel full after only two dishes. He can only look at the rest but can't eat anything.

Just like the comprehensive experimental building this time, the original site area was not enough, and a small sports field of Beijing Electric was demolished to make up for it.

"By the way, I have a piece of news, it's a rumor, I don't know if it's accurate, I'll tell you in advance." Nie Wei suddenly whispered to Wang Jinsong.

Seeing how cautious Nie Wei was, Wang Jinsong also cheered up and motioned for Nie Wei to continue.

"It is said that Kyoto intends to merge with a surrounding county to expand the urban area to cope with the surge in urban population. Part of the expanded land will be used to build a new university town. Part of the land will be used for some schools in the city that lack space. Expanded campus.”

"Real or false?" Wang Jinsong's eyes lit up when he heard the news.

"I haven't seen the exact documents, but the identity of the person who spread the news is unusual. The credibility is about 60%. In short, Jingdian can prepare in advance and go through the channels. There is no loss anyway, but if the news is true, we will It’s like taking a step ahead.”

"You are right, I remember this." Wang Jinsong nodded sharply, just like Nie Wei said, if the news is true, Jingdian can take the lead in this matter, and For Jingdian, the most critical factor currently restricting the development of schools is land.

"Besides the land issue, I have one more thing I want to discuss with you."

"At present, my Max Films has signed contracts with a number of Hollywood actors and directors, and I also know many well-known actors and directors in the United States. If possible, I would like to invite them to come to China and occasionally give students Let’s talk about our experiences in Hollywood filming, which is very helpful for students to broaden their horizons.”

"This is a good thing. You just need to contact us. The remaining reception and expenses will be borne by Jingdian." At this point, Wang Jinsong told Nie Wei in a low voice: "The school can hire temporary lecturers from outside. At that time, the state will bear most of the costs.”

Nie Wei smiled and nodded. Since the state reimbursed him, he would not rush to pay. After all, no one's money comes from strong winds.

After attending the groundbreaking ceremony of Jingdian's new comprehensive laboratory building, Nie Wei even declined the lunch party and hurried back to Huayi Company.

Because Wang Zhonglei had contacted Nie Wei two days ago and wanted to discuss a major matter with him.

When Nie Wei received the call and heard that Wang Zhonglei suddenly had the idea of ​​holding an award ceremony, he was really surprised. However, after thinking about Wang Zhonglei's idea carefully, he suddenly felt that it was very feasible.

Huayi's influence in film, television and artists has actually reached its peak in China.

At least in the Chinese entertainment industry, you can't pick out a company whose TV series and movies are more anticipated than Huayi's film and television works, and you can't find a brokerage company whose artists are more famous than Huayi.

So if you want to increase your influence, you need to find another way.

Organizing an awards ceremony is undoubtedly a good way. After Nie Wei agreed with Wang Zhonglei's idea, the two agreed to return to Beijing to discuss it in detail.

Today is exactly the appointed day.

When Nie Wei arrived at the company, Wang Zhonglei quickly came to the door.

"I have asked my secretary to bring food to the restaurant. We will have lunch in your office in a while. Tell me now, do you think our award ceremony can be successful?" Wang Zhonglei asked eagerly.

He really wanted to organize an awards ceremony, and he had already thought about it. He must be the chairman of the first session. Since he had this idea, he had not even slept well for several days, and his mind was full of thoughts. It's all about this.

"We can't do it without commission first. Let's first think about what scale we want to run, what content it will focus on, bonuses, selection criteria, etc."

"I've thought about this. Let's set a small target for the scale. We will focus on the domestic market first. In addition, we can set up a few overseas awards to imitate the Oscars. In addition..."

"Wait a minute, Brother Zhonglei, what you said is too general." Nie Wei interrupted Wang Zhonglei.

"First let's talk about the goals of the awards."

"How about movies and TV series, our main projects?"

"I think we can get rid of the TV series and just focus on movies." Nie Wei thought for a while and suggested. Wang Zhonglei immediately asked why.

"Simplification will make it look more professional. It is best for an awards ceremony to have a mainstream element. If it should be a movie, it should be a movie. If it should be a TV series, it should be a TV series. We can make a movie award ceremony first, and it will be done. It will be easier to do TV series or even music," Nie Wei explained.

He said that these are all based on facts. Many domestic awards are like a hodgepodge, including not only movies but also TV series and even variety shows. The more and more complex there are, the more inaccurate the actual positioning of this award ceremony will be.

How can we talk about the influence of an award ceremony that can’t even define its own position?

"In addition, I think it is best for us to focus our awards on films from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places first. Firstly, Huayi is very influential in China. Secondly, we are familiar with this market and it will be easier to operate."

"The most important thing is to refuse double-yolk eggs and triple-yolk eggs when it comes to awards..." Nie Wei discussed all her thoughts with Wang Zhonglei.

In fact, when holding an awards ceremony in China, the most important thing is to be fair.

Refusing fans to swipe votes, refusing to share the cake, coupled with a star cast and a grand scene, with the energy of Huayi in China, there is no way this award will fail.

As long as we adhere to these points and this award is held for two or three years, its influence will not be said to catch up with the Golden Horse, but at least catch up with the Golden Rooster.

You must know that the credibility of these domestic film awards has really been declining in recent years due to the constant production of double-yolk and even triple-yolk eggs.

This is actually a vicious circle. If these award ceremonies don't give those stars trophies, they won't come to participate. If the stars don't come to participate, no one will watch the award ceremony.

So they can only give awards to every big name and take care of them. The result is that all the stars are called to share the cake, and the audience is very dissatisfied in the end.

So if Huayi wants to hold an award ceremony, it can't make such a mistake.

The two discussed for a full half day and only came up with a specific plan. After all, there are too many things to consider for an award ceremony, and it's not enough to just invite a few stars to participate.

Like the name of the award ceremony, the time of the event, the shape of the trophy, the amount of the prize money for the winners, whether the venue is fixed or mobile...

This is not something that two people can discuss at all. Today, Nie Wei only discussed a rough charter with Wang Zhonglei. At that time, there will definitely be a meeting to collect suggestions from the entire company and summarize them.

When Wang Zhonglei said goodbye, he even mentioned to Nie Wei that he was going to form a team of 100 people to be responsible for this matter.

After hearing this, Nie Wei felt that this number of people was really not exaggerated at all. At least it was enough in the early stage. When it was really busy, it was estimated that more people would be needed.

Nie Wei had dinner directly at the company. After dinner, Luo Kai and his driver drove Nie Wei back to the villa.

"What are the arrangements for tomorrow?" Nie Wei asked Luo Kai on the way home.

"There is no special arrangement tomorrow. You just need to accept an interview with a media at 3 pm, but you need to participate in the recording of "Infinite Challenge" this weekend."

"When did I agree to record?" Nie Wei asked Luo Kai in surprise.

"After the last recording, didn't you promise Ma Dong that you would participate in the program again? Ma Dong discussed it with me at that time and asked me to find a suitable day before December. After I checked it at that time, I temporarily postponed it to this weekend. Is there something urgent?" Luo Kai asked with concern after explaining.

If Nie Wei really couldn't participate because of an urgent matter, then he had to refuse "Infinite Challenge". Anyway, it was their own program, and no one would gossip.

Nie Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking that he had been tricked by Ma Dong.

The other party was so afraid that he would break the contract that he actually agreed on the shooting date at that time.

"Forget it, just remember to remind me when the time comes." Nie Wei thought about it and decided to keep his promise.

Thank you for the generous reward from Fantasy Paradise, and thank you for the generous reward of 3,000 from Beifa Cangqiong for "Creating the Godfather of Movies". I don't know if you can see this, because the old book has been completed and no new chapters can be updated. I can only thank you here.
