Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Chapter 315 315. Interview (Part 2)

As more and more parents and reporters came, the reception hall on the first floor of Huayi was full, and many people could only wait outside the door, which was something Nie Wei had not expected.

Nie Wei was standing in front of the French window at this moment, looking at the dense crowd standing at the bottom of the building, and couldn't help but sigh that the crowd was really too enthusiastic.

Looking at the watch, there was still half an hour before the interview started. It was the autumn heat in Kyoto, and the weather was very hot. Nie Wei called the staff next to him and asked him to pull a car of iced mineral water to distribute to the people waiting downstairs.

Wang Zhonglei, who had just entered the room, walked to Nie Wei's side, followed Nie Wei's gaze and looked at the people below, and said: "There are enough people here, I will call more staff to maintain order."

"Sorry for bothering Brother Zhonglei." Nie Wei replied with a smile.

Wang Zhonglei was also one of the interviewers today. As the producer of this movie, he had no choice but to do his duty.

In addition to Wang Zhonglei, Shu Chang will also come in a while. As the third interviewer today, the three will form an interview team, but everything is still based on Nie Wei's will.

"How is the preparation for the audition at Mingzhu?" Before it started, Wang Zhonglei pulled Nie Wei to chat.

"Not bad." Nie Wei replied with a relaxed face: "Liang Chao, who was sent by my brother, is very responsible and capable. The interview location is in a star-rated hotel. The price is very good, and it costs a lot less than I expected."

"Haha, Liang Chao is a smart guy and a man who can get things done." Hearing Nie Wei praising his people, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but smile.

Soon Shu Chang also came to the interview site. First, she greeted Wang Zhonglei, and then the girl sat next to Nie Wei. She didn't say anything, but just looked around, obviously very curious.

Nie Wei could understand the mentality of this girl. It was estimated that it was her first time as a judge. The freshness had not passed, so the whole person seemed more excited and felt fresh about everything.

The registration was closed soon. The report brought up by the staff showed that 1,351 people came today, and the children must have been accompanied by their parents. Multiply this number by three, no wonder it was so crowded downstairs. Including the reporters, the number of people downstairs was probably more than 4,000.

Fortunately, the square in front of the Huayi office building was spacious enough, otherwise it would be hard to say whether it could accommodate all these people.

"Get ready." Nie Wei put down the report and said.

Wang Zhonglei smiled and looked at Nie Wei, and found that the young man was as calm as ever, without any excitement or nervous rookie mentality. He couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. Shu Chang on the side looked more like a child of this age, with expectations, nervousness, and excitement.

Not only Shu Chang was excited, but the parents waiting outside were also excited.

Especially looking at the star posters played on the newly built giant LED screen in front of the Huayi office building, Nie Wei's appearance caused a heated discussion every time.

"Nie Wei's photos are the most handsome."

"Nie Wei appears the most."

"He is indeed a big star. If my child can act in a movie he makes, he will definitely be famous."

"What a great scene. Maybe my child will appear on such a big screen in the future."

The envious tone of the parents also reflects their inner feelings at the moment. Such a bright and beautiful scene first increases their inner desire. They probably think that they may not be able to become a star in this life, but their children can. Especially the shock given by the reality in front of them makes many of them look forward to it even more.

Of course, it is inevitable to strictly advise the children to perform well later.

The audition will start soon.

Although there are many applicants, it is still uncertain whether they can meet Nie Wei. After all, considering the number of people, Nie Wei cannot really interview thousands of people. Therefore, based on the experience of later generations, Nie Wei also set up a preliminary test before the real interview to eliminate some candidates who do not meet the appearance and talent in the first wave. Only the elites left can meet Nie Wei.

Parents and their children had already received their numbers. There was a broadcast in the lobby on the first floor, and whoever's number was called in, just go in. Soon, the first family that stood out from the previous children appeared. Led by the staff, the family of three quickly came to the interview site.

After entering the room, the parents stood in the middle with their children. There was a serious atmosphere in the quiet room. The parents felt more nervous than the children. Nie Wei looked up at the child, then lowered his head to read the information. The parents' expressions became a little uneasy, and they randomly guessed some bad ideas in their hearts. This was really because Nie Wei's star halo was too dazzling, and he was the main interviewer, which put a lot of pressure on them.

Fortunately, Nie Wei quickly raised his head again, showing a warm smile, and asked: "Hello, I looked at the information, and the child has a lot of talents. Can you show them on the spot?"

Nie Wei's smile is very contagious, and his words are steady and powerful, but not aggressive. People feel very friendly when they hear it, which makes the two parents unconsciously relieved. When they heard Nie Wei mention the child's talent, they hurriedly said that they could let the child play the electronic piano.

The official website has already announced that electronic keyboards, accordions, guitars and drums will be provided on site. If you have special talents, I'm sorry, you can only bring your own.

Hearing the child's mother's words, Nie Wei asked the staff nearby to help adjust the electronic keyboard until the child nodded that it was okay.

The child is seven years old this year, and he has a pretty face. No wonder his parents would have thought about it. If such a child has a few talents, he will definitely be a star in the community. His parents are also confident, and they may think that their children have been well trained and have a good chance of being selected.

However, after waiting for the little guy to start playing, Nie Weixin quickly shook his head.

It’s not that the child played badly. To be honest, it’s already outstanding for a child of this age to play like this. The key is that the child’s demeanor when playing the piano is too stereotyped. You know, the product of the Children’s Palace.

Of course, Nie Wei would not directly deny a person because of this. Then he picked out a scene from the script and asked the child to perform it. Sure enough, although he was quite relaxed, his acting was too stiff. This is not acceptable.

Of course, Nie Wei did not refuse immediately, but asked the child’s parents to take the child home and wait for news. There will be a reply within a week.

But there was an interesting episode in the middle.

Normally, the conversation should have ended here, and the next person was probably waiting at the door, but the parents suddenly took out a Polaroid camera from their backpacks, saying that it was a rare opportunity, and they were very excited to take a photo with Nie Wei and Shu Chang. They handed the camera to Wang Zhonglei, who was standing beside them, and asked him to take the photo, which made many staff members present look at each other in tears and laughter.

Fortunately, Wang Zhonglei was not a person who put on airs, and Nie Wei and Shu Chang were both good-tempered. In the end, they met the request of the children's parents and took two photos.

However, Nie Wei was afraid that the parents behind him would follow suit, so he still asked them not to publicize this matter. The children's parents naturally nodded repeatedly, after all, it was enough for them to fulfill their wishes.

"I was like that when I was a child, I had to set a model for singing and other things." Looking at the family that had already walked out, Shu Chang covered his mouth and laughed.

"I know, I secretly searched your MV and watched it, and the pigtails are very good." Nie Wei said with a smile, making Shu Chang blush and shy.

Wang Zhonglei, who was standing by, watched the two people talking with a smile, his eyes flashing with a playful look. As a person who had experienced it, he could of course see that the relationship between Nie Wei and Shu Chang was a little unusual, but he did not expose it. Nie Wei's current status was already unusual. To say that he treated them equally was just to flatter himself. In front of the power of capital, the Wang brothers thought it was their duty to be at ease.

During the chat, the second group of families came in soon.

An hour passed, and everyone was tired. They announced a ten-minute break. Nie Wei was also sorting out the information of the children he had interviewed.

I have to say, I was a little disappointed.

Not to mention the little boy who played the main role in the play, even Nie Wei didn't find a satisfactory little girl for the audition this time. However, there were many people outside, so Nie Wei was not discouraged. There were still many opportunities.

Wang Zhonglei, who was standing by, asked someone to make a pot of tea. He was the oldest and obviously the most tired. Even though he was not the main interviewer, he was watching very seriously. After all, the twelve million yuan was paid by the company.

As for Shu Chang, she was still excited, even more excited. The first time she was an examiner gave her a very satisfying sense of achievement.

After a ten-minute break, the interview continued.

Unknowingly, a day had passed. Nie Wei looked at the information in his hand. This was the result of a whole day. There were nearly a hundred children in total, most of whom were rated D or C by Nie Wei. Very few could get B, and there was no A.

After a whole day of interviews, Nie Wei also found a problem.

Most of the talented children were trained in the Children's Palace or extracurricular tutoring classes. They were not professional enough, but they were too stereotyped. The children had no personality, which was obviously not what Nie Wei wanted.

You know, the little boy in the movie was outstanding in his personality, and the rest of the shining points were for this "****".

Fortunately, Nie Wei was not in a hurry. He waited slowly, and there should be a suitable one.

"Shu Chang, wait for me for a while, let's have dinner together." Looking at Shu Chang who was packing his backpack, Nie Wei stood up and said.

"Okay." Shu Chang agreed readily.

"Is there anything you want to eat?" Nie Wei asked while changing clothes. Shu Chang thought about it while Nie Wei was changing clothes, and finally said that he wanted to eat noodles.

"Then let's go to the old noodle shop in the east of the city. Didn't you miss their mutton noodles last time?"

"Is it too far?" Shu Chang hesitated. It's a long distance from here to the east of the city.

"It doesn't matter. I drove here today." Nie Wei replied with a smile. Hearing this, Shu Chang didn't say anything.

In the following two days, Nie Wei stayed in this conference room except when he went home. Wang Zhonglei didn't come the next day. He was replaced by a vice president of the company. As for Shu Chang, he insisted on the third day. The girl's enthusiasm faded and she went on strike. Nie Wei had to find Luo Yuan to fill in.

In three days, Nie Wei interviewed hundreds of families. From this number, we can see how diligent Nie Wei is. He really found a few good seedlings among them, but it was still a little short of his expectations. Nie Wei decided to go to Mingzhu City and see, and didn't make a decision too early.

Originally, Nie Wei thought that there were so many people from Kyoto because it was the base camp, and there should be fewer people in Mingzhu City. But when he actually arrived in Mingzhu City, he found that the people here were more enthusiastic.

The number of applicants on the first day reached 2,000, which really shocked Nie Wei and the vice president who followed him. This number was directly more than the cumulative number of applicants in Kyoto in three days.

However, after being surprised, Nie Wei was left with happiness. The larger the base, the more outstanding children he could see, and the more likely he would find the target he wanted.

Nie Wei saw that the time was almost up, and directly ordered: "Let's start."

In one sentence, dozens of staff members on the scene immediately began to perform their duties and operate the scene like the parts of a machine that had started, and Nie Wei sat in the interview hall, like a general of thousands of troops, commanding in the middle. This feeling made Nie Wei also have a very satisfying sense of achievement.

No wonder so many stars in the future like to cross over to become directors. It's really good to have a whole team revolving around you.

The first day of the interview went very smoothly. In particular, Nie Wei found a little boy who performed very skillfully. This made him feel bright. After asking around, he found out that the boy's parents were both engaged in drama. Although the boy was only six years old, he had watched his parents do this job since he was a child. When his parents were free, they also taught him. This is why he performed so well now.

"No wonder, the little guy is very good." Nie Wei praised, which made the boy's parents look happy.

After saying goodbye to the family, although Nie Wei gave the only A-level evaluation on this report, he did not make a decision on the spot, but decided to wait. Although the boy performed very well and was qualified in his heart, Nie Wei still expected that a better candidate would appear.

People's hearts are always unsatisfied. Nie Wei is not a saint, so he will naturally make such a mistake.

However, there are unexpected changes in the weather. It rained in Shanghai the next day. It was a drizzle at first, but it got heavier and heavier, and finally turned into a rainstorm. Nie Wei's interview work could only be temporarily suspended.

But rain has its benefits. At least Nie Wei suddenly had some free time. He thought about it. It was not easy to come to Mingzhu. This is the most prosperous city in China. Many brands are not available in Kyoto. He took this opportunity to go shopping in the mall and buy some things for himself and some gifts for Lin Yifei and Shu Chang.

Especially Lin Yifei, she made a lot of sacrifices to join Huayi this time.

Borrowing a car from the hotel is not a problem with Nie Wei. In less than a quarter of an hour, the hotel found a Wrangler, which looked modified. As long as it is not driven towards a deep pit, it is estimated that there will be no problem.

With the car, Nie Wei called Luo Kai and quickly drove the Wrangler, broke through the rain outside, and drove towards the mall.
