Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

If the previous shoots were all beautiful, handsome, and cool, then now it is cruel.

The girls who had been on the plane for half a day vomited countless times, and Tianai collapsed on the ground and cried as soon as she got off the plane.

"It was too difficult." Tianai gritted her teeth and held on during the shoot. Now that the day's shoot was over, the suffering she had endured turned into tears.

Lin Yifei and Lin Qin were also wiping tears on the side. Although they had read the script and were reminded by Nie Wei early on, they really understood what "disaster" meant after experiencing this half-day shoot.

Because the shoot pursues reality, it is necessary to simulate the moment of the plane accident as much as possible. They have to experience several problems such as turbulence, shaking, shaking and strong wind. This afternoon, they are just like a dangerous machine in an amusement park. Not only are they physically uncomfortable, but they are also under great psychological pressure.

Yuanquan comforted the girls like an elder sister. Fortunately, these girls are not delicate. They just cried out their discomfort after an afternoon of suffering, wiped their tears, and were still serious during the shoot in the evening.

At 9:30 in the evening, Nie Wei saw that there were still two scenes to be filmed, but he asked the assistant director to move them to tomorrow.

"Let's stop here today and gather at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning." Nie Wei ordered.

"Nine o'clock?" The assistant director was a little surprised, because this time was a little later than usual.

"Yes, nine o'clock. By the way, you will take the actors to this hotel for a SPA, and then send them back to the hotel."

Nie Wei will not show mercy when filming. The plane will shake as it should, and the wind will blow as it should. As long as the actors are not injured, Nie Wei will not show mercy even if the actors feel uncomfortable.

But he insisted on filming like this for the quality of the film, just like these actors, don't they also grit their teeth and insist?

But privately, Nie Wei will take care of them more if he can, after all, the actors are in good condition, which is also good for filming.

When several actors were talking and laughing and were about to take a car back to the hotel or home, the assistant director stopped them.

"Director Nie arranged a SPA for everyone and specifically asked me to take everyone with him. The car is ready. How about you brothers and sisters give me a favor?"

"It's a good thing. Is it free?"

"Sister Tianai, look at what you said. Director Nie ordered it. Can I charge you for it? It's free. Everything is free."

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. It was still Lin Yifei who agreed first: "Go, why not? This guy has been tossing us for a long time. It's time for us to collect some interest."

"That's right. My old waist still hurts now. Sister Yuanquan, will you go too?" Lin Qin asked Yuanquan beside her with a smile.

Yuanquan thought about it, nodded and agreed.

Just when Tianai and others were discussing whether to go to sing after the SPA last night, they found that Lin Yifei was turning her head back and forth, as if looking for something.

"Xixi, what are you looking at?"

"Looking for Nie Wei, why isn't he here?" Lin Yifei asked the assistant director who led the way in front.

"Boss Nie has a phone call and is out. He probably won't go with us." The assistant director replied. Hearing this, Lin Yifei was a little disappointed.

Tianai was standing aside, taking in the disappointment that flashed across Lin Yifei's face. She was moved, but was very cautious and didn't ask any more questions.

On the other side, Nie Wei went to a coffee shop. After waiting for about ten minutes, Boss Wang appeared in a dusty state.

After sitting down, the two ordered a cup of coffee respectively. While waiting for the coffee, Boss Wang did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose of coming this time.

"Ning Hao's new movie needs certain special effects support, so I want to ask Lei Ting to do it."

Boss Wang came for Ning Hao's new movie. At the beginning, he and Ning Hao made several agreements, one of which was to assign special effects to Lei Ting.

But this matter is really not something that can be done by spending money.

Thunder Special Effects is now one of the world's top special effects companies, and its business is very busy. Not to mention this year, even if it is scheduled for next year, it will definitely be scheduled. If you want to give priority to production, you must find some ways.

Boss Wang went straight to Nie Wei, the big boss of Thunder.

However, Boss Wang was unsure. Recently, the relationship between Huayi and Fanxing has been very tense. In the words of the media, it is incompatible with water and fire. Boss Wang knows that it has not reached that point, but it is almost there.

Of course, this entanglement is mostly on Huayi's side. After all, so far, Huayi Company has always been the victim.

However, for the sake of the new movie, Boss Wang can only temporarily suppress this hatred in his heart and come to the door for help. I just don't know if Nie Wei is still willing to help him. After all, he made a stupid move to Nie Wei's sister Zhou Duoduo before, which is also a place worth entangled.

Boss Wang is very regretful now. Why did he target a little girl? He was really angry.

Of course, Boss Wang was very calm on the surface, and his tone was also calm. It didn't sound like begging for help at all, but it sounded like he was just saying it casually.

"Sure." Nie Wei replied with a smile.

Boss Wang was thinking about what to say when he heard Nie Wei's affirmative answer. He was startled and came to his senses, then quickly added: "I mean to make it in advance, without queuing."

"That will cost extra. How far in advance do you want?" Nie Wei asked.

When he heard the price, Boss Wang was not angry, but very happy, because it meant there was room for negotiation.

"Immediately, but you don't have to worry. We don't need many special effects. Two months is enough for Lei Ting to complete it." Boss Wang replied immediately.

Nie Wei thought for a moment, stretched out two fingers and said, "Then add 20%."

Boss Wang felt a toothache when he heard this number. Ning Hao's movie special effects production would cost at least 200 million, and 20% would be 40 million.

What is the concept of 40 million? It can pay a top actor like Cheng Kun for a movie, which is twice the salary of Shen Teng, the protagonist of Ning Hao's new movie. It can probably be used to invite the entire HELLO GIRLS group to shoot eight movies back and forth.

But he had to admit that Nie Wei did not cheat him, and the price increase was reasonable.

"Okay, when will the contract be signed?" Boss Wang gritted his teeth and agreed. 40 million is a lot, but it is not as precious as time. Huayi is losing more than 40 million every day, and Ning Hao's movie is Huayi's current life-saving straw.

"You can do it anytime. If you come up with a specific plan, we can sign the contract. Also, we want 50% of the advance payment, and the balance must be paid before the movie is released. Otherwise, it will be considered a breach of contract. Not only will the advance payment not be refunded, but five times the liquidated damages will be required. You know this, right?"

"Of course." Boss Wang nodded.

Of course he knew this rule. In fact, special effects are sometimes very similar to contracting teams, and the encounters are naturally the same. Many times the balance cannot be collected.

At this time, some special effects companies with relatively strong strength have formulated relatively strict contracts, and Lei Ting, as the strongest special effects company in China, has the strictest contract.

Boss Wang was not prepared to default on his debt, so he naturally agreed very readily.

The matter was finalized. When Boss Wang came, he thought of many ways for Nie Wei to embarrass him, and even thought that he would be humiliated and embarrassed, but he didn't expect that things would go surprisingly smoothly.

This made Boss Wang feel a little better, but of course he still hated Nie Wei.

"The previous Duoduo incident..." Seeing the silence in the atmosphere, Boss Wang thought about it and opened his mouth to explain.

Of course, he would not say that he hated Nie Wei, so he took his anger out on Zhou Duoduo. Even if both parties knew it, it would be meaningless to say that. It would make him look petty and embarrassing. So when he was thinking about who would be the scapegoat, Nie Wei spoke up.

"Isn't it resolved?" Nie Wei asked with a smile.

Boss Wang was startled, and then he thought of the content of Zhou Duoduo's contract. He was unhappy again and nodded in a muffled voice: "That's true."

"Why don't I tell the company and terminate Zhou Duoduo's contract directly." Boss Wang said again, just wanting to sell Nie Wei out, because Nie Wei did give him face today. Although he hated him, he wanted to return the favor.

Who knew that Nie Wei would not accept this favor, and shook his head and refused.

"No need, I think she's fine staying in Huayi for the time being, so let her fulfill this contract and then part ways amicably." Nie Wei smiled.

Boss Wang widened his eyes when he heard this.

He really didn't expect that Nie Wei would be willing to keep his own sister in the enemy camp, and he didn't even want to terminate the contract on his own initiative.

But soon, Boss Wang came to his senses. Even if Zhou Duoduo stayed in Huayi, what could he do with her?

The clauses in the contract protected Zhou Duoduo so tightly that he had no room to intervene. What made Boss Wang even more disgusted was that Huayi not only couldn't get any benefits from Zhou Duoduo, but also had to give her a sum of money every month.

As a contracted artist of Huayi, Zhou Duoduo enjoyed a mess of subsidies such as transportation subsidies, catering subsidies, communication subsidies, etc., and also had a fixed salary every month.

Of course, for popular artists, this salary of tens of thousands of yuan is nothing at all. Zhou Duoduo may not even notice this small amount of money when she settles the accounts, but when Boss Wang thought about the company giving Zhou Duoduo tens of thousands of yuan every month, he felt uncomfortable and the coffee in his mouth tasted different.

In addition, he didn't have anything to talk about with Nie Wei now, so after a cup of coffee, Boss Wang said goodbye.

Nie Wei naturally did not try to persuade him to stay. He watched Boss Wang leave the coffee shop, and then called Xie Lemon.

Xie Lemon is the current actual person in charge of Thunder Special Effects. This former Hong Kong Island star is basically inactive now. His last movie was shot two years ago. In the past few years, apart from doing a food variety show, he actually spent the rest of his time on this company.

Nie Wei could see that Xie Lemon was very interested in being an industrialist.

And he was indeed very good at management. He founded Thunder Special Effects in the beginning. Nie Wei was relieved to let Xie Lemon manage this company.

On the phone, Nie Wei told Xie Lemon about Ning Hao's new movie's queue-jumping and asked him to arrange it.

"Why did you agree to them? Aren't you competing with Huayi?" After hearing this, Xie Lemon was a little puzzled.

Obviously, Fanxing and Huayi are now irreconcilable, so why does Nie Wei still want to help Boss Wang? Is it true that the rumors are not true, and the two actually have a good relationship?

"What kind of competition is this? It's just Huayi's wishful thinking." Nie Wei said with a smile, "Why not make money? A 20% increase in the price, based on the 400 million production cost of this movie, will at least make tens of millions more. Why should I push away this business that has come to my door?"

"Thunder Special Effects is now responsible for its own profits and losses. If you make a little extra money, you will look good at the group's year-end summary meeting."

"That's right, okay, I get it." Xie Ningmeng agreed with a smile.

On the other side, after Boss Wang left, he immediately called Ning Hao and told him that the matter with Thunder Special Effects had been settled.

"I have solved all the problems for you. It's up to you next." Boss Wang reminded at the end of the call, of course, this was also a warning.

Ning Hao naturally understood and promised quickly.

When the call was hung up, Ning Hao's forehead was covered with sweat.

"There is no way out. I have to fight hard." Ning Hao knew that after Boss Wang cleared the last obstacle for him, he had to fight hard.

And not only did he have to fight hard, but he also had to hand in an excellent answer sheet.

As a director, he got the largest investment since he entered the industry, but it was also a crisis. If it was shot well, it would soar to the sky. If it was bad... Ning Hao thought of this and shook his head, not wanting to think about it.

He picked up his phone, found Xu Guangtou's number, and called him. In order for the film to be successful, he had to do his best.

Time passed, and another month passed. Kyoto also welcomed the first snow of the year.

It was not heavy. It only snowed for half an hour. The snow on the road was pressed by the car and turned into black mud. At night, it turned into thin ice.

"Have you installed anti-skid chains on the car?" Nie Wei asked the assistant director after another day of work.

This kind of weather is the most likely to cause traffic accidents. The thin ice on the street is very slippery. People have to move carefully when walking on it. If the car drives a little faster, it is very likely to slip and lose control.

Just now, Nie Wei heard someone in the crew laughing and discussing that a car turned in place just after starting, which shows how slippery the road outside is.

"Don't worry, director, everything has been arranged. I also told the drivers to drive slowly."

"Okay, well done." Nie Wei praised, looked at his watch, and prepared to go home. However, just as he put on his down jacket, he heard a surprised cry from the door of the studio.

"Wife?" Nie Wei looked over and saw a familiar figure.

"Husband!" Shu Chang also saw Nie Wei, and immediately shouted in surprise, and then ran over.

This scared Nie Wei. The ground was so slippery now, and Shu Chang was running like this... Nie Wei just thought of this and saw his wife losing her balance.
