Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

"You really did a big thing." Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but sigh after learning from the phone that Nie Wei persuaded Zhang Ziyi to change jobs.

There are really few top female stars like Zhang Ziyi in China, and countless agencies will compete for her, even Huayi is no exception.

You should know that so far, Huayi has only one real top female star, that is Zhou Xun.

Shu Chang, who won two Golden Horse Awards, also had a good chance of becoming a top female star. Unfortunately, since marrying Nie Wei, Shu Chang has gradually faded out of the entertainment industry, which is something Wang Zhonglei has always regretted.

Unexpectedly, Nie Wei quietly poached Zhang Ziyi into the company, which made Wang Zhonglei so excited that he almost fainted.

Before that negative incident, when Gong Huang gradually retired, Zhang Ziyi was recognized as the number one female star in China. Even after that negative incident, Zhang Ziyi's reputation was damaged, but she can still be ranked among the top three female stars in China.

Moreover, after two well-received blockbuster movies, The Grandmaster and Inception, Zhang Ziyi's popularity has risen again. For such a top actor, even if Huayi only gets Zhang Ziyi's domestic agency contract, it will be a great enhancement for Huayi Company.

"It seems that the company's market value will rise again." Wang Zhonglei laughed happily on the phone.

The signing of Zhang Ziyi will inevitably cause a sensation in the entertainment industry, and will further consolidate Huayi Film and Television Group's position as the dominant force in China. It would be strange if the market value does not rise.

"Brother Zhonglei, don't worry. Sister Ziyi told me that her contract with CAA is less than five months away. She hopes to fulfill her contract with CAA before signing with us. I think this is also good, at least there is no need to confront CAA head-on."

"Is that so." Wang Zhonglei thought for a while and asked, "Then can we discuss signing a agency contract first, not announcing it, and wait until her contract period ends, then we will prepare to announce it."

"I think so too." Nie Wei replied with a smile.

Nie Wei and the other two once again took a private plane back to Kyoto, but this time after landing, Chen Daoming left alone, while Nie Wei and Zhang Ziyi came to Huayi Group together.

The reporters outside the Huayi building saw Zhang Ziyi and Nie Wei entering the company together, and they just thought that Nie Wei invited Zhang Ziyi to visit Huayi, but they never thought that within less than an hour after Zhang Ziyi entered the company, this top female star in China had signed a contract to become an artist under Huayi.

What they could not have imagined was that a few days ago, Zhang Ziyi and Nie Wei went to Max Films and also signed an agency contract, becoming the first actress under Max Films.

In order to keep it secret, there were less than ten people on both sides who knew about these things, just to avoid the contract trouble between Zhang Ziyi and CAA. Anyway, in less than five months, Zhang Ziyi's contract with CAA will expire, and then the agency contract with Huayi and Max Films will take effect immediately.

"You said Nie Wei wants to poach Zhang Ziyi?" At Eighteen Culture Company, Wang Jinghua looked at Chen Daoming, who was drinking tea calmly, with a surprised look on his face.

"Is it true?"

"I don't know. I just heard him casually mention it to Zhang Ziyi when I was a guest at his house." Chen Daoming put down his teacup with a smile, and said as if it was just a gossip: "By the way, Zhang Ziyi went to Huayi with Nie Wei after getting off the plane today."

Wang Jinghua frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed helplessly.

"I guess Zhang Ziyi has probably agreed."

"No way?" This time it was Chen Daoming's turn to be surprised. Would a big star like Zhang Ziyi agree to change jobs so easily?

Even if Zhang Ziyi wanted to change jobs, she would have to wait at least a few months. First, she could raise her own value and gain more benefits for herself. Second, she could make Huayi pay more attention to her. After all, the harder it is to get, the more she cherishes it. But if it is as Wang Jinghua said, could it be that Zhang Ziyi agreed after less than a week of consideration?

This really doesn't match Chen Daoming's impression of those big stars changing jobs.

"You don't understand, Zhang Ziyi is very ambitious, and in China, the only one who can really help her realize this ambition is Nie Wei. His movies can really be popular abroad, which is the most fatal to Zhang Ziyi."

"Forget it, whether this thing succeeds or not, we can only watch the excitement at most, but if it succeeds, Huayi will really be awesome." Wang Jinghua couldn't help but swear at the end, because this matter was really very shocking to her.

You know, her main business is to be an artist agent, and a top star like Zhang Ziyi is something she desires but cannot ask for. She originally thought that Zhang Ziyi would be under CAA for her whole life, and that only such a big company could manage such a big star, but she didn't expect to hear her change jobs one day.

But when she heard that she was going to switch to Nie Wei, Wang Jinghua felt that it was natural. Only then did she realize that under Nie Wei's leadership, the companies around him had reached a point that was out of her reach.

Huayi, which she once thought was out of her reach, now she could only look up to it. For a moment, Wang Jinghua felt regret for the first time.

Although she had guessed the big news, Wang Jinghua didn't say much to the outside world. In her opinion, this kind of thing was thankless. In addition to being disgusting and disgusting, Huayi, if it was revealed that she was the one who revealed the news, it would attract more people. Huayi’s hostility.

The relationship between the two parties has eased a lot over the years. Although Wang Jinghua hates seeing the Wang brothers being complacent, she doesn't want to endanger Hua Yi again because of such unnecessary things.

Unconsciously, it has been more than 20 days since the release of "Inception". The box office of the movie in mainland China has exceeded 2.5 billion, and in North America, the box office of "Inception" has also reached 260 million. US dollars, other places such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea also occupy the top spot on the box office list.

The global cumulative box office figures are close to 6 billion Chinese dollars.

It is currently ranked 22nd in the global box office rankings. However, according to expert speculation, the global box office total of "Inception" should increase by more than 2 billion Chinese dollars, and it will definitely be ranked among the top ten in the global box office rankings. Bit.

Once upon a time, could anyone have imagined that a Chinese movie would rank among the top ten in the global box office list? Not to mention the top ten, no one even dared to think of the top fifty, but "Inception" has already done it.

Moreover, this movie not only performed well at the box office, but also received great reviews.

On IMDB, the film currently has 170,000 ratings, and with such a huge number of reviews, the film's rating still remains ninth among the TOP250 movies on the 8DB website.

In the Stars film review community, the film's expert score is as high as 91, and the audience score is as high as 9.3. In the Stars movie TOP250, the film ranks sixth, and it is also the first film in the past ten years to be ranked in the top 250 Stars movies. Ten movies.

The rave reviews on film review websites have made many directors envious.

In less than two days after Chen Daoming returned to China, Wang Jinghua helped him negotiate an endorsement for an imported car. At the same time, an endorsement for a famous watch and an endorsement for a top foreign suit brand were also almost completed. Several endorsements were squeezed in Together, Chen Daoming can earn tens of millions every year.

This is also why Wang Jinghua is unwilling to be at odds with Nie Wei.

In her eyes, Nie Wei is really an omnipotent person. Although Chen Daoming is well-known in China, his ability to attract money is actually not strong. His top reputation is mainly due to his acting skills, but in terms of traffic, Teacher Chen even has Those first-line actors may not be able to catch up.

But after starring in Nie Wei's movie, Chen Daoming immediately transformed into a charming uncle and established the persona of a domineering president. Various high-end endorsements came to them, making their company and Chen Daoming himself make a lot of money.

I would like to ask such a person, how could he deliberately offend the other party before it was too late for Wang Jinghua to ask for cooperation?

In North America, Joseph's career has also taken off after he changed his agency. Less than a week after joining Max Pictures, the company negotiated two high-quality endorsements for him. Although the endorsement fees are not high, because of the products behind them, The business is very good and they are willing to spend advertising money, so the two endorsements have also helped Joseph's career a lot.

Of course, the one who has changed the most belongs to Chiang Kai-shek.

After becoming a first-line actress, various advertising endorsements came one after another. Even though Huayi had repeatedly selected them, there were still more than ten endorsement products in front of Jiang Xin.

These include everything from lipsticks, facial masks, eye creams, perfumes, jewelry, clothing to food.

Jiang is also ruthless. Seeing that the manufacturers behind these endorsements are all top-notch, she accepts them all. As long as they do not involve product conflicts in the contract, she accepts them all.

After all, popularity is hard-won. She feels that the harder she works now, the more leisurely she will be able to enjoy life in the future.

Nie Wei's popularity has also increased a lot, and many endorsement companies have found him. However, except for "Infinite Challenge", Nie Wei has not accepted any programs.

Before going abroad, Nie Wei recorded a "Summer Concert Special". After Nie Wei returned to China, Ma Dong immediately led the program team to find Nie Wei again and rushed to record the second episode.

"Yeah, I really don't want to cooperate with you." In the first draw, Nie Wei was lucky enough to get Ma Dong.

"Do you think I'm willing to cooperate with you? I'm also aggrieved, okay? During the first review session, I was the only one there." Meeting Nie Wei again on the show, Ma Dong also looked aggrieved. Said like that.

Regarding Ma Dong's misfortune, Nie Wei was unmoved. Instead, he complained to the camera: "This guy is the most slippery man. He can talk about life and death. But don't look at him. He can talk, but he can't sing." , the demo I made in the last issue was so good, but this guy couldn’t sing a word in tune, and now I’m almost changing this song into a children’s song…”

Nie Wei's complaints were so sharp that Ma Dong felt like he had been hit by countless arrows and his heart was pierced.

On the other hand, the program crew who came to shoot were laughing so much that they almost fell to the ground.

Ma Dong couldn't be knocked down so easily. Nie Wei's complaints only made him freeze for a moment, but he quickly regained his energy and reorganized his words to refute Nie Wei.

"It's obvious that there's something wrong with your songwriting. I've lived for more than thirty years, and no one has ever said that I sang out of tune. Just you, my reputation in this life has been ruined."

"Brother, why don't I write a rap for you?" Nie Wei suddenly suggested, ignoring Ma Dong's retort.

Ma Dong was almost thrown by Nie Wei's sudden turn of question. How come he was talking about singing and suddenly mentioned RAP? Ma Dong was a little flustered and said that he didn't know what RAP was at all, but he could sing a few songs.

"Then it's settled. I'll write a new song and give you the RAP in it." Nie Wei made the decision directly regardless of Ma Dong's protest.

"What?" Ma Dong wailed and felt that this year's summer concert was particularly sad.

After the camera was turned off, Ma Dong immediately found Nie Wei and asked him if the RAP thing was true.

"Nie Wei, I really can't sing any RAP. I can only do crosstalk. Otherwise, you can write a song and add a section for me to announce the names of dishes, and I will go on stage to announce the names of dishes." Ma Dong smiled bitterly.

Just because you can speak fluently doesn't mean you can speak RAP. Ma Dong said that he really couldn't learn such a trendy thing in a short time.

However, compared with Ma Dong's lack of confidence, Nie Wei was very confident in Ma Dong and smiled, "Don't look so sad, don't worry, I promise I won't make it difficult for you. Since you can read the menu so well, you will definitely have no problem reading the rap. Believe me, how could I cheat you?"

"Haha, I don't know how many times you have cheated me in Infinite Challenge." Ma Dong would never believe Nie Wei.

Unfortunately, the power of composing and writing lyrics is in the hands of Nie Wei. Ma Dong really can't help at all in this area, let alone say a word. Everything can only rely on Nie Wei's mercy.

The weight of the previous paragraph is definitely not enough. Ma Dong and Nie Wei discussed it and decided to go to other members to inquire about their news.

"Xie Na went back to Xiangnan. Only Ou Di, Chen Jianzhou and Yuchi Linjia are in Beijing. Which one should we go to first?"

"Let's go to Yuchi Linjia. I am familiar with Yu Quan's studio. I can find it without navigation." Nie Wei said while starting the car.

At this moment, Yuchi Linjia and Yu Quan were also recording "Infinite Challenge". The three of them were eating lunch boxes in Yu Quan's studio. While eating, the three of them were also chatting, and happened to mention the group of Nie Wei and Ma Dong.

"In this summer concert, what I am most looking forward to is the group of Nie Wei and Ma Dong. I really don't know what kind of songs Nie Wei will come up with."

"Haha, did you watch the last episode? I think Ma Dong and Nie Wei don't have a spark, so our chances of winning the first place this time are actually quite high."
