On the red carpet that night, Nie Wei walked with Zhou Xun, as soon as the current brother and sister of Huayi appeared, they immediately won the highest voice in the audience, and the most enthusiastic attention of media reporters.
In addition, there is also a pair of celebrities who are really attention-grabbing, the moment Shu Chang and Lin Yifei all appeared in white dresses, it really made all the men present feel a feeling of really seeing an angel descending into the world, the two girls held hands, and the men's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated with a smile, regardless of whether they were twenty, thirty or forty years old, they were immersed in the charm of this pair of girls and couldn't extricate themselves.
Of course, the real protagonist of today's red carpet still belongs to Feng Xiaogang.
After Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou have both filmed blockbusters, only Feng Xiaogang among the three major directors in China has not yet had a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions, and now "Night Banquet" has filled this vacancy, and everyone undoubtedly has great expectations for Feng Xiaogang's movie.
This movie is very attractive in terms of investment, Huayi invested 50 million, which is only part of this movie, in addition to the participation of companies including Huaying and Uniasia, the total investment is even as high as 120 million Chinese coins.
In this era, a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions of Chinese coins is enough to be called a masterpiece.
With a large investment, the cast is naturally strong, Feng Xiaogang's old partner Ge You is indispensable, and the heroine is the currently popular international movie star Zhang Ziyi, this girl is also currently praised by the domestic film and television media as the most promising actress to surpass Gong Li.
In addition, Zhou Xun, the first sister of Huayi who walked the red carpet with Nie before, also starred, and Wu Yanzu, a popular new star in Hong Kong, was robbed of the role in "New Police Story" by Nie Wei, but he unexpectedly participated in this movie, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
And Huayi's Huang Xiaoming and Xu Xiyan and other popular stars as supporting roles, which also added a lot of appearance and box office guarantee to this movie, judging from this lineup, it is enough to attract countless audiences into the cinema.
"Nie Wei, you must help me publicize it when I go back. At the door of the theater, Feng Xiaogang pulled Nie Wei and said enthusiastically.
"Of course. Nie Wei responded with a smile, Feng Xiaogang pulled him to shoot a lot of New Year films, although they were all cameos, but to be honest, it was also helpful to Nie Wei, so this time Director Feng asked for it, and he naturally wanted to repay this favor.
Seeing Nie Wei's refreshment, Feng Xiaogang smiled happily and greeted Nie Wei into the theater enthusiastically.
Nie Wei's actions were arranged in the first row, next to Wang Zhonglei, next to Zhou Xun, Ge You, as for Lin Yifei and Shu Chang and others, although they were also in the first row, they did not participate in the movie after all, so the arranged position was slightly more side.
"Do you need to change your seat, but which one do you choose, after all, I only have one seat. After sitting down, Zhou Xun saw that Nie Wei greeted Shu Chang and Lin Yifei not far away, and couldn't help but laugh and tease.
In the past, she would not joke with Nie Wei like this, but since attending Zhang Jizhong's wedding, the relationship between the two has become much closer, and now Zhou Xun and Nie Wei are talking a lot more casually.
"Sister, if you put a mole on the corner of your mouth, I will treat you as a matchmaker. Nie Wei responded not to be outdone, and the angry Zhou Xun patted him on the shoulder twice, this kid's mouth is too poisonous, but Uncle Ge on the side looked at it with joy.
Before the movie was released, several people chatted for a while, and between the words, Nie Wei could hear that Zhou Xun was looking forward to the results of this movie, after all, her current position is a little embarrassing, she is a first-line actress, but there is no defensible achievement.
is like Nie Wei, he is a first-line actor, and he also has the Golden Horse Best Supporting Actor trophy, which is a strong proof that he is also standing firmly in the first line.
Similarly, Shu Chang also has the same distress as Zhou Xun, but she also has a chance, Nie Wei is ready to report this year's Golden Horse Awards to "Speed Scandal", with the results of this movie, it is hard to say whether Shu Chang, the heroine, can become the 'Golden Horse Queen', but it should be no problem to be shortlisted.
And the role of "Night Banquet" in front of them for Zhou Xun is like the role of "Speed Scandal" for Shu Chang, and they all hope to win awards for this work.
Uncle Ge on the side has a lot of usual mentality, but he can also see a trace of nervousness, after all, this is different from his previous New Year films, in fact, Uncle Ge has not made feature films, but after all, he doesn't want to be so handy with Chinese New Year comedy, and he is afraid that the audience will be too deep about his image and can't play in this movie.
The topic of chatter between the three ended after the arrival of Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun, and it turned to a conversation between Nie Wei and the Wang brothers, the three Huayi bigwigs.
It's not a trivial matter for them to talk about, they are talking about the publicity of some movies after they are released, the film scheduling rate, box office estimates and some revenue channels.
Nie Wei rarely spoke at this time, he generally just listened, only when the Wang brothers asked him, he would express his opinion, and Zhou Xun on the side was also listening, this girl undoubtedly had a great curiosity in this regard, but Uncle Ge closed his eyes slightly at this time, looking refreshed.
The movie quickly begins in small talk.
This is a story about court freaks and power struggles, based on Shakespeare's "Hamlet", with four major tragedies as a reference for adaptation, it is conceivable that the ending of this movie must be a tragedy.
In Nie Wei's opinion, the biggest attraction of this movie is the shape of the tasks in the play, when Zhang Ziyi came out in a red phoenix dress, even Nie Wei had to sigh that Zhang Ziyi in this age is really beautiful to the extreme.
Ge You also changed the style that was out of tune in the previous Chinese New Year films, and he was also full of momentum when he played the emperor, as well as Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming and others, just the appearance and acting skills of this group of people added a lot to this movie.
and the music, light and shadow of the movie are also very well done.
As for the plot, Nie Wei can only say that it is acceptable.
It's not bad, it can only be said that it is too Westernized, although Director Feng has always emphasized that this drama is a Hamlet with oriental characteristics, but in fact, the content told in it is still very seriously Westernized, such as the nominal mother-son freak love, which is difficult to be accepted by people in Chinese culture.
The most important thing is the direction of this drama, although this drama is known as Orientalization, but the route in its bones is actually the route of Westernization, unlike domestic tragedies, which are often implicated by some tragic things, so that the audience can resonate with the tragic character and feel pity for it, on the contrary, this drama is more like the kind in Western movies, where the protagonist is very capable of doing it, and then he dies.
This really makes it difficult for domestic audiences to have that sense of resonance.
And the portrayal of the characters in this drama is also a little thinner, for example, the complex hearts of Empress Wan and Emperor Li do not express that kind of entanglement, under the huge setting, such characters cannot perfectly support the plot, which naturally makes the audience feel that it is not enjoyable to watch.
The whole movie lasted more than two hours, and Nie Wei watched it carefully again, and the evaluation is not easy to say, it is estimated that it will be both fire and water.
In fact, just as Nie Wei thought, this movie is really the kind of evaluation that is both fire and water in the eyes of film critics.
Some say that this movie is gorgeously made, and the plot breaks through the inherent tragedy mode in China.
Some people feel that the content of this movie is distorted and empty, the characters are not charming, and it is purely a so-called giant made up by stars, which is a fight with the previous "Wuji" directed by Chen.
When Nie Wei looked at this kind of comment, he couldn't help but think that Director Chen, who was innocently shot, was already bleeding again in his heart at this moment.
It is said that it is bipolar, but criticism does account for the majority, which can be seen from the score of a certain film website, four days after its release, more than 50,000 people commented, and the score was only a pitiful 5.3, ranking second to last among the films with a domestic investment of more than 100 million, fortunately, there is also a "Wuji" at the bottom, which is even worse, with a score of only 4.7.
In this rating, the three-point evaluation accounts for 49 percent, while the five-star evaluation is only less than 3 percent, compared to the one-point evaluation is as high as more than 7 percent, which is obviously a bit embarrassing.
However, in the case of unsatisfactory reviews, this movie, like "Wu Ji", has achieved great results at the box office.
Four days after the premiere, the box office was 55 million, breaking Director Feng's own first-week box office record in one fell swoop, which also made Nie Wei and other Huayi executives look a lot better, at least from this momentum, this investment should not be lost, and the next thing is the question of earning more and earning less.
"The movie channel has raised the price to five million, and I think it's time to make a move. ”
"DVDs are also selling well, and the final proceeds are expected to be between fifteen million and eighteen million. ”
"Overseas filmmakers are also contacting us, and the prices they offer are very good. ”
"The domestic cinema scheduling rate has increased by three percentage points, and they are still very optimistic about our box office in the next three days. ”
One by one the earnings reports were taken out, and Nie Wei was also calculating how much he could earn this time, but he was a little disappointed in the end, such a big production, he didn't make much money in the end, even if all the profits were given to individuals, the dividends he could get from his shares were only a few million, not to mention that the company still had to operate, it was definitely impossible to share it all, so the money would be even less.
After calculating his earnings, Nie Wei is not interested in what will happen next to this movie, and in addition to investing his energy in new movies, he will also allocate a part of his energy to the commercial center he just started.
Although he spent a lot of money to win this commercial center, and it also caused a sensation in the real estate industry, but in fact, there are not too many reports from the outside world, and the real estate industry at this time is not the era when the whole country knows about a movement ten years later, not to mention that the transfer contract between Nie Wei and the original company is also very low-key.
After taking the commercial center, continue to complete the task of this golden city Nie Wei handed it over to Zhou Aiguo, after all, Uncle Zhou is doing real estate, and he can rest assured that he will be entrusted to Nie Wei, as for the business idea and the like, it is better to wait for the construction to be completed before implementation.
In addition, the financing of the Star Blog must also be put on the agenda.
At this time, the Star Blog was quite prosperous, and the number of people online every day made the rest of the social platforms jealous.
And in addition to the Star Farm, Nie Wei then released a series of fun social games such as Star Parking Lot, Star Card, Star Supermarket, Star Ranch, etc., which not only brought a lot of revenue to the company, but also made Star firmly sit in the top spot in the field of social games, unshakable.
The rest of the websites are still in a state of following the trend, even if the game is more exquisite than Fanxing, but it can't stand up to people who eat the first bite of cake, and Nie Wei also hired a group of water army to publicize, giving netizens a feeling that playing social games is only genuine in Fanxing, and the rest are pirated, which undoubtedly greatly increases the user stickiness of Fanxing's social platform.
Fanxing Blog has achieved such good results, which naturally greatly increased the valuation of this website, at present, the valuation of this website has exceeded five billion US dollars, yes, it is US dollars, converted into Huaxia Min, it will be more than 40 billion in value.
This social platform, which has been cultivated by Nie Wei for many years, has finally begun to show its valuable value.
After Nie Wei had a financing intention, Internet bigwigs from all walks of life also immediately gave a reaction, first of all, Nie Wei's shareholding Xunfei Group hopes to win this part of the shares, and at the same time, Xinlang, Sohu, Qianbaidu, etc. have also expressed their intentions, and there are many foreign companies, including Alibaba's main investor, SoftBank of Japan.
For the letters of intent submitted by these people, Nie Wei did not refuse, the more the better, after all, the more competition, the higher the value of the part he threw out.
However, this kind of thing is not in a hurry for a while, anyway, Nie Wei still has some funds to spare, and when the competition between several parties is white-hot, then he will let go, that is when Nie Wei can eat the fattest meat.
Just when Nie Wei was still strategizing, he received a notice from the company.
Hearing the notice from the staff on the phone, Nie Wei slapped his head, only to remember that the actor of his new movie had not yet been finalized.
Huang Xiaoming and Cheng Kun, the interview time for these two has come unconsciously.
The two prospective male protagonists arrived at the company early that morning.
In a conference room, Nie Wei, Wang Zhonglei and Lin Yifei, the heroine of this movie, are today's three interviewers.
looked at the time, it was only 8:50, and there were still ten minutes before the 9 o'clock of the notice, but because there were only two people interviewed, when he learned that both of them had arrived, Nie Wei directly asked the staff to call someone. (To be continued.) )
