Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Two days later, Wu Xiubo came to Huayi again with the selected script. It was still the same conference room, but this time he did not see Nie Wei. The person who received him was Luo Kai.

"Your nanny car, agent and assistant have been selected. I will take you to meet them as soon as I finish handling the script. If you think it is suitable, you can work together. If not, you can work together within three days. Put it forward and I can change it for you." Luo Kai said as he took the script from Wu Xiubo: "Is this the play?"

"That's it." Wu Xiubo smiled at Luo Kai and replied.

"Wait a moment." As he spoke, Luo Kai took out his mobile phone, flipped through the phone book, quickly found his target, and then dialed the number.

"Director Mao? I'm Xiao Luo. I heard that your new TV series lacks a second male lead? Yes, it's the role of Li Tiangang. Mr. Nie wants to recommend someone to you. His name is Wu Xiubo. Don't worry, Mr. Nie's You have a very accurate vision, and this actor will ensure that you are satisfied, then that’s it, it’s settled.”

Wu Xiubo watched Luo Kai make the phone call. The whole process took less than five minutes from beginning to end. Although what he heard was intermittent, Wu Xiubo was not stupid. From the few words Luo Kai responded, he knew that his character was It's done.

This also made Wu Xiubo once again feel the benefits of having a backer. He might not have been able to get the role after all the hard work, but in the end, he didn't need Nie Wei to come forward. As long as his agent used Nie Wei's signature, he could get it in a few minutes. Done.

This was also the first time that Wu Xiubo felt that it was so easy to get a role. He felt a little bitter in his heart because if he had such an opportunity, why was it wasted for more than ten years.

"Wu Xiubo, remember this phone number. Call the director three days later. He will arrange an audition for you. You don't have to feel any psychological pressure. You will definitely pass if you perform as usual. The main thing is to go through the motions and give it to other investors. Check it out." After Luo Kai said this, he sent the phone number to Wu Xiubo's mobile phone via text message.

"Thank you, Brother Luo Kai." Wu Xiubo was very discerning and thanked him immediately.

"Haha, it's a small thing. Remember, it's not me who helps you with this. How can I have such a big reputation? It's because of Mr. Nie. He thinks highly of you. Let me tell you something. Mr. Nie and Mr. Wang had a special chat yesterday. You, Mr. Nie said, you are our second Chen Daoming at Huayi," Luo Kai said, seemingly unintentionally but actually revealing a secret to Wu Xiubo.

Sure enough, Wu Xiubo was also excited when he heard Nie Wei compare him to the second Chen Daoming.

He has long passed the age of showing off himself in his twenties, and Chen Daoming's achievements are obvious to all in the industry. Doesn't Nie Wei's words mean that he is optimistic that he can become China's top actor in the future?

Wu Xiubo, who was nearly 40 years old, was really moved by this affirmation, and suddenly there was a feeling in his heart that a man would die for his confidant.

Seeing Wu Xiubo's grateful look, Luo Kai also felt that his goal had been achieved. He encouraged Wu Xiubo a few words and took him to see the team the company had equipped for him.

Wu Xiubo soon met the team and nanny car that Huayi equipped for him. The car was a domestic nanny car worth about 300,000 yuan, as well as an agent and a life assistant. Under Luo Kai's help, the two parties made arrangements for each other. introduce.

"Agent Lin will be responsible for arranging your activities from now on, and Xiao Wang will be your life assistant. You can tell her anything you need to pay attention to in life. In addition, Xiao Wang also knows makeup. If you don't want to use the crew If you have a makeup artist, you can let her do it.”

"And this car is a new batch of new cars purchased by the company. You are in luck. The company will be responsible for the gas expenses. By the way, do you have a stable residence in Kyoto? If not, you can apply for the company's employee dormitory. It's standard. One house and one kitchen, the place is not big, but it is fully equipped,” Luo Kai said.

"No, no, my family is from Kyoto." Wu Xiubo waved his hands to explain, while thanking Luo Kai for his kindness.

The equipment given to Wu Xiubo is actually the basic standard for Huayi to treat key artists, which is an exclusive nanny car, an exclusive agent and an assistant responsible for daily life. Looking at the circle, it can be regarded as the basic standard for treating second-tier artists, which is also in line with Nie Only about Wu Xiubo’s current positioning.

If Wu Xiubo was considered second-tier in the circle before, it still needed to be discussed, but now that he has joined Huayi, there is no need to discuss this.

And this is only temporary. Nie Wei will not bother to sign first- and second-tier artists for the company. In her mind, Wu Xiubo must at least climb to the top to be considered qualified. As for how far he can climb further, that is Look at how hard he works.

Wu Xiubo has made his own choice and is about to start his first drama after entering Huayi.

Another week has passed unknowingly. During this period, the most watched thing in the entertainment industry is the Golden Horse Awards ceremony. Although this year there is no participation of the popular Wang Nie Wei in the previous two years, the influence is not at all. reduce.

Because this year's Golden Horse Awards included a controversial movie in the Mainland, this movie called "The Ring" won seven Golden Horse trophies at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

This incident also caused a heated discussion in the mainland entertainment circle.

A movie that was criticized by many people in the mainland was actually highly praised when it was released in Baodao. This kind of contradictory thing is always accompanied by various voices.

For example, there are still many filmmakers in the mainland who think that this movie is a synonym for vulgarity and has nothing to do with art. However, there are also many people who think that this movie cannot be judged by its appearance. It is a movie that requires brains to discover what the director wants to express, which is enough to be called a classic.

This even triggered a discussion on the film rating system in the mainland again.

In fact, in 2001, the famous screenwriter Wang Xingdong had already proposed that the mainland should also implement a film rating system. It was not until 2004 that the Film Censorship Bureau issued a document called "Film Promotion Plan", which focused on regulating market access and classified various types of films.

However, this document has been like a piece of paper until now, and the mainland's film rating system is still a blank page.

In the past ten years, countless filmmakers have called for the implementation of this system in the mainland, but in the end, all of them were left unresolved. Some big directors did not even wait for the implementation of this system until their death.

In fact, in Nie Wei's view, with the vigorous development of the national film market, the quality of the audience is constantly improving, and the aesthetic standards are also constantly rising. These audiences are increasingly hoping to see a variety of movies, but these wishes are also not met by the current domestic film censorship system.

A system standard that can turn horror movies into horror comedies has also stifled the creative space of countless directors. When many domestic directors start shooting, they don't think about how to shoot, but think about what they can't touch, and which places will have thunder and must not be shot. After eliminating these, they can start shooting.

This narrow creative space naturally hinders the development of domestic films. This is also the most complained by many audiences. In fact, sometimes it is not that our Chinese filmmakers and TV people cannot produce excellent works, but there is really no suitable land for survival.

Two days later, Nie Wei received a call from Wang Jinsong. It turned out that Mr. Xie, the dean of the directing department, was ready to take advantage of this hot discussion on the film rating system and call on well-known directors and actors in the circle to petition the censorship bureau again for the implementation of the domestic film rating system.

And calling Nie Wei is naturally hoping that Nie Wei can join this event.

"No problem, you reply to Teacher Xie, I will go to the school to sign tomorrow, and I will support the teacher online after the event starts." Nie Wei agreed immediately without any hesitation.

Although Nie Wei knew that this kind of thing might be another useless effort, he still had to participate, because this petition was not only because the initiator was the vice president of his own school, but also because this petition was a trend, and it was something that almost all film and television people in the circle hoped to succeed.

As for whether it would offend a certain relevant department, Nie Wei really didn't care. If the other party wanted to control him, he really had to weigh it. After all, Nie Wei's achievements were not limited to the entertainment industry. Just the Stars Podcast in his hands, as the largest social platform in the country, the media power it could mobilize was not something that any department was willing to offend.

The next day, Nie Wei rushed to Beijing Electric as scheduled, and signed his name on the petition of 10,000 people with the pen handed over by Mr. Xie.

"Teacher, if you need any publicity help, just let me know, I will do my best to help you." After Nie Wei signed his name, he did not forget to ask Mr. Xie and his teacher Wang Jinsong for help.

Because this matter is closely related to Nie Wei's own interests. If the mainland can really implement a film rating system similar to that in Hong Kong and the United States, the most beneficial people, in addition to the directors who make movies, are the film production companies behind them.

"Good boy, I will definitely tell you if I need it, and thank you for your support for this event." Mr. Xie held Nie Wei's hand and kept thanking him.

"Teacher Xie, I am ashamed of your gratitude. This is what we should do as filmmakers. This even concerns our creative space as filmmakers. I am just doing what a filmmaker should do. I don't deserve your gratitude and praise."

"Jinsong, the students you teach are good, really good." Mr. Xie smiled and said to Wang Jinsong on the side. Nie Wei's words touched his heart, making Mr. Xie feel that if everyone in the circle had the same awareness as Nie Wei, I am afraid that what he wanted to do would have been done long ago.

Unfortunately, there are those who are willing to stand up, and there are also those who choose to turn a blind eye because they don't want to offend people. If the hearts are not unified, it will be difficult to get things done.

Nie Wei didn't stay in school for long because he had something to do. It was not until three days later that Nie Wei saw on the news that Xie Fei announced the signatures of 10,000 people and attached a petition of up to 3,000 words.

The content was basically old stuff, mainly talking about how the current film review system was no longer in line with the development of the current market, and calling on relevant departments to improve the system as soon as possible to create a better creative environment and commercial standards for the film market to meet the increasing appetite of the current audience.

These words are also what these old people have mentioned every once in a while in the past ten years.

Of course, the public rarely pays attention to the petition. Everyone is more willing to see which celebrities have signed the petition to express their support.

There are many big-name artists and directors who signed, including Nie Wei, Director Feng and Director Lu from the same company, and actors from the company, such as Zhou Xun, Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, Cheng Kun, and Huang Xiaoming, also signed. Not only Huayi strongly supports this petition, but in fact half of the entertainment industry supports it.

For example, Huang Jianzhong and Wu Yigong, who were in the same period as Mr. Xie, also signed. These can be regarded as the top of the circle. It was with their efforts that Huaxia Film laid the initial foundation. In addition, big directors of the fifth generation, such as Guan Hu, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuang, and Huo Jianqi, also spoke out, and directors of the sixth generation, such as Jia Zhangke, also waved the flag and shouted.

Although the number of 10,000 is a bit exaggerated, there are at least hundreds of signatures, which basically includes half of the big-name directors and artists in the circle. As for the masses who help to cheer online, there are even more. Less than half a day after the news came out, it has already received tens of millions of hits, and there are also nearly one million people who reposted it and more than 100,000 people replied. There are almost all voices of support below. After all, this is also related to the interests of the audience themselves.

Obviously, most people are fed up with blood turning into dye, and the key thing is Max.

Such a huge petition, but the censorship bureau remains silent. It was not until the evening that its official platform issued an announcement saying that it would carefully consider everyone's petition.

However, in Nie Wei's view, this is purely perfunctory.

Mr. Xie and others still did not give up. What Nie Wei can do is to try to make the hot searches related to this petition more advanced.

Things are just as Nie Wei expected. As the topic heat decreases, the matter eventually comes to nothing. In the end, no one got an accurate answer. Obviously, this matter is still a long way to go for Chinese filmmakers.

Nie Wei had already focused on the company's New Year's Eve concert at the end of the year.

The 60,000 tickets prepared for this year's New Year's Eve concert had already been sold out. Later, the company communicated with the stadium and applied for another 3,500 tickets. 1,500 of them were put on sale online and sold out in less than five minutes. The Huayi Business Department was so scared that they quickly collected the remaining 2,000 tickets and prepared to sell them on the day of the stadium. Tickets must be purchased with their ID cards, and more than one person is not allowed to buy more than one ticket.

This can be regarded as the last glimmer of hope for many audiences who didn't buy tickets but really wanted to watch.
