821. Farce

Unless the director makes a movie for his own amusement, the theatrical chain must be a problem that every director who wants to seek a release can't get around.

Just a problem of film scheduling rate can greatly affect the box office performance of a movie.

Take Nie Weiyuan's time and space movie about suona, at the beginning, it was because of the unfavorable box office caused by too few theaters, and when the producer of this film knelt down on the sensational Internet and said those heartfelt words, he 'moved' the group of theater merchants and adjusted the film schedule, and the box office of this movie immediately skyrocketed from hundreds of thousands of data per day at the beginning to tens of millions.

There are many factors for the success of this movie's box office counterattack, but it is undeniable that the adjustment of the movie schedule by the theater operator is the most critical, otherwise the audience will not have a theater to watch this movie with money, in this case, how can the box office of a movie be good?

So since Nie Wei turned AMC Cinemas into his private company, his position in Hollywood has immediately become significant.

The reason why Stephen's face is very bad is also here, just now he really offended a super-rich man, God knows what kind of revenge he will suffer if the other party has a small heart.

And when it made him feel even worse, Director Michael, who was standing opposite him, looked at him more and more unfriendly, which made him chuckle in his heart, and suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't wait for Nie Wei's revenge, so he was going to be pulled out by the guy in front of him first.

As soon as he had a premonition of this, Michael had already spoken first.

"Although the cause of the incident was because I was in pursuit of the perfection of the shooting picture, but the conflict was because of your attitude, there was a misunderstanding between us and Nie Wei, and you should bear the greatest responsibility, I hope that in the phone call with Brad, you can take the initiative to admit your mistakes. ”

Hearing Director Michael's 'righteous words', Stephen's face flushed with anger, and he couldn't wait to spit a few mouthfuls in this guy's face.

In Stephen's heart, the original order was obviously given by the guy in front of him, but now he has put all the problems on Stephen, and it is completely Stephen's own fault.

Stephen couldn't accept such a statement, and immediately retorted: "Michael, you gave the order, and I am just an executor." ”

"So you mean it's all my fault?" Michael asked rhetorically, glancing at Stephen.

"You know it best. In the face of Michael's increasingly cold gaze, Stephen replied without showing weakness.

offended Michael, he was kicked out of the crew at most, and he might not even lose his job, but if he offended Nie Wei, then he was likely to be collectively banned by those film production companies that wanted to sell it to Nie Wei.

After all, compared to the friendship of a super cinema company, he, an ordinary employee, is too insignificant, and in the United States, where everything pays attention to profits, if he is sold, he can gain the favor of a super theater company, even if there is only a one percent chance, he believes that there must be countless people willing to do so.

So Stephen made up his mind that he definitely couldn't carry this pot on his back because of Michael's few words.

Michael gave Stephen a deep look and said, "Then let's report separately, Gray will give us a fair result." ”

Stephen snorted coldly and left directly, the ghost believed that Gray would be fair, a big director and an ordinary production manager that the company was trying to support, which is important, Stephen could guess the result even with his ass.

The problem of work has been put behind him, so many production companies in Hollywood, even if he is fired, with the manager he has entered the industry, it is enough to find the same job again, even if the treatment is not as good as the big company he is in now, he admits it.

Now what he is most afraid of is Nie Wei's post-autumn accounting, and he is also afraid that the company will hand over all the problems to him to bear, and now Stephen is thinking about whether to go to Nie Wei's crew to take the initiative to apologize and strive for the other party's forgiveness, after all, no matter how important face is, it is not as important as his future career.

However, when Stephen finally made up his mind to go to the crew of "The Martian" to apologize to Nie Wei, he found that the crew of "The Martian" had already closed the stall and left, which made him completely empty.

In a hurry, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called the consultant of the Actors Guild he had just contacted.

"Oh, Stephen, this is a personal vendetta between you, and I, as an advisor to the Screen Actors Guild, have no way to meddle in it. On the phone, the consultant named Jensen said in an apologetic tone.

How could Stephen really believe in the other party's plan, this Jenson said this, obviously looking for his own benefit.

"Two thousand dollars. ”

"Five thousand dollars, and I'm only responsible for helping you say hello, as for Nie Wei not seeing you, I'm not responsible. ”

Jensen's attitude annoyed Stephen, if it was in normal times, how could he look down on the advisor of the Actors Guild? But there was no way now, he could only think of this Jensen who had the opportunity to help him deliver a message to Nie Wei.

And Stephen really can't afford to wait, he is afraid that he will delay, and Michael has already dumped all the pots on himself.

In the end, after some bargaining, Stephen heartache paid 3,000 yuan in exchange for Jenson's unreliable promise.

Stephen drove for an hour and a half, met with Jenson downstairs in the hotel where Nie Wei's crew was staying, and personally handed him 3,000 US dollars, and the rest of the time was a long wait for Stephen.

Time passed little by little, the sky was already dark, and the stars in the sky converged into a brilliant Milky Way, which is a scenery that is difficult to see in a brightly lit big city.

However, Stephen didn't have the slightest intention to appreciate this beautiful scenery, seeing that more than half an hour had passed and there was no news, Stephen was so anxious that he couldn't stand at the door, and the Chinese people who came and went back and forth from the door of the hotel looked at him like looking at a clown, even if Stephen didn't recognize these people, he knew that these Chinese people must be from the crew of "The Martian".

Of course, these strange glances did not make Stephen flinch, and he did not want to leave, but to go straight to the hotel.

Of course, he didn't dare to bother Nie Wei directly, and he didn't think that he could see Nie Wei by himself, what he wanted was to go to the Jensen who had charged him three thousand dollars, after all, the other party was the person he spent money to invite, and he couldn't spend the money, but the problem was not solved at all.

After giving a small tip to the receptionist at the front desk, he managed to get Jenson's room number, but as soon as he took the elevator to the floor where Jenson was, he heard a familiar voice chatting in the hallway.

"Baby, that's a fool, he offended his boss and wants to ask for forgiveness, and he doesn't look in the mirror who he is?"

"I'm not going to say a word for that idiot. ”

"Three thousand dollars? haha, all I can say is that the idiot gave it to me, I didn't give a clear promise, with these three thousand dollars, we can have a good time tonight, haven't you always wanted that jewelry, I'll buy it for you right away." ”

This familiar voice is no stranger to Stephen, because he only met and chatted with the other party half an hour ago, it was Jensen of the Actors Guild.

“fxxk,shxx。 Stephen, who had been under a lot of pressure, was red with red eyes stimulated by the 'stupid man' and 'three thousand dollars', and no longer thought about the consequences, he rushed directly into the corridor and punched Jenson who came to the winning side.

Jenson was stunned by Stephen who suddenly rushed out, and it wasn't until he was punched that he came back to his senses with the pain.

The two quickly scuffled together, although Stephen was tall, but obviously not very good at fighting, but Jenson because of the trivial living environment, but there was no less fighting, and the experience was called a rich.

So after Stephen's first punch was successful, he was soon pressed to the ground by Jenson and then punched.

Five minutes later, the actress who was traveling with Jensen called the security guard of the hotel, which was considered to pull the two apart, and at this time, the corners of Jensen's eyes were purple, and Stephen's face was like opening a watercolor shop, so miserable that people couldn't bear to look at it directly.

The hotel called the police after knowing the news, and soon the police came and took the two people away, mainly because Stephen's appearance was too miserable, and he had to go to the hospital to check it out and make an injury report.

Nie Wei only learned the news after the police took the two people away.

"Why are they in touch again, and they are still fighting?" Nie Wei asked in surprise.

"The answer given by the police is because of the conflict over money, mainly because Stephen wants to find you to apologize, but he can't find a middleman, so he somehow contacted this Jensen, and then spent three thousand yuan, but this Jensen is also a talent, and he didn't do anything after receiving the money, and when he showed off, he was heard by Stephen, who came to the door, and the rest is what you know. ”

After listening to Luo Kai's explanation, Nie Wei couldn't cry or laugh, what kind of people are these.

"Okay, don't bother me with this kind of in the future, you can just watch and deal with it. Nie Wei waved his hand and asked Luo Kai to be quiet, so that he wouldn't worry about this kind of.

But just now, a person who claimed to be the vice president of Paramount didn't know where to get Nie Wei's personal phone, called to apologize for the day's events, and on the phone, he said that the employee involved had been fired, and the director Michael was also willing to apologize to Nie Wei in person.

Regarding the other party's statement, Nie Wei was noncommittal, Stephen's attitude during the day, he was expelled and could only be said to deserve it, Nie Wei actually basically forgot about this matter, how could he be so careful to remember this matter, with this time and brain, of course he had to put it on the work at hand.

So on the phone, Nie Wei just lightly said that he accepted the apology, as for meeting Michael or something, Nie Wei only refused, in his mind, this is purely a waste of time.

But when he learned that he wanted to apologize in person but was rejected by Nie Wei, Michael had a feeling that he was deeply insulted, and he felt that Nie Wei did not accept his apology at all, and even deliberately humiliated him.

In his opinion, he is Nie Wei's predecessor in Hollywood, and he has taken the initiative to lower his figure, but Nie Wei still doesn't accept it, this is aimed at himself.

But he was helpless about Nie Wei, he was secretly sulking in his heart, and as a result, he held back his anger all night, and only after getting up the next day did he find his right gum to speak because of the fire, causing the entire right cheek to swell.

Just when Michael's favorability towards Nie Wei had dropped to 'hate', Nie's only pedestrian had already packed up and was ready to leave this land where he had lived for more than half a month.

Although they have lived for so long, when everyone leaves, most of them are cheering, who makes the living conditions here too miserable.

According to incomplete statistics, during the more than 20 days of filming, at least nearly 100 people in the entire crew had heat stroke, and many of them fainted severely.

In addition to barbecue, the food here is also very unsuitable for the appetite of Chinese people.

There are also too many folk customs here, which doesn't work and that doesn't work, which makes everyone in the crew feel tied up every day, which is very uncomfortable.

All in all, everyone is really happy to leave this land.

There are so many people in the crew, so Nie Wei chartered a plane directly, and he couldn't fly directly to Kyoto after the plane took off, and he had to make a transfer in Dubai in the middle, and it took 20 hours before he finally landed in Kyoto.

After arranging the American actors, Nie Wei returned home as soon as possible, and Shu Chang had already made a table of good dishes waiting for Nie Wei to go home.

The young couple reunited after a long absence, and they had a lot to say, but what Shu Chang said the most when she pulled Nie Wei was Nie Wei's calligraphy work that was auctioned off when she participated in the charity night before.

"Husband, now the Internet is full of your news, and they all say that you are a thousand words. ”

Nie Wei couldn't help but be happy, the metaphor of a thousand gold is quite interesting, but the heart sutra has a total of 260 words, and the transaction price is one hundred and fifty thousand, so if you calculate it, one word can be worth four thousand yuan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a thousand gold.

"It's all about praising me, and there is no doubt about the value of my calligraphy?" Nie Wei asked with a smile.

"That's all those people jealous. Shu Chang shook his small fist and responded with a dissatisfied face.

Of course, there are doubts, and there are not a few, many people think that Nie Wei is not a well-known calligrapher, even if the words are good-looking, they will not be praised like that, they feel that the reason why Nie Wei's words can sell millions is mostly due to his own fame, not words.

Even because of this, Mr. Yuan Fei, who endorsed Nie Wei on the spot, and some people on the Internet felt that the reason why Mr. Yuan Fei praised Nie Wei so much was because he wanted to pat Nie Wei's sycophants to say that.

However, just as Nie Wei and Shu Chang were chatting and eating, the originally chaotic public opinion on the Internet began to become clear because of a Weibo.

And the person who updated this Weibo news is from Liu Yuan, the editor-in-chief of Yanshan Publishing House.

He didn't do anything special, just put the photo taken of the poem written by Nie Wei on the Internet when he first visited Zhou Aiguo's office.
