After finishing the lava in the morning, Nie Wei, who was working in the office in the afternoon, learned that there were many people calling to look for him, and these people represented some schools behind them.

Some called the headquarters of Fanxing Company, some called Huayi, and some people called Luo Kai's mobile phone directly, Nie Wei's private mobile phone refused to answer unknown calls, so he didn't receive a single call.

But Nie Wei thought too simply, and soon he received a call from a certain star, who graduated from Chinese opera.

And Yuan Hong quickly found Nie Wei's office, and he came to talk about Nie Wei's student director fund on behalf of Pearl Film Academy.

In fact, these two colleges are already very reserved, and they can actually apply for some funds from the state every year to subsidize their own director students, but in line with the principle of being cheap and not being stupid, since Nie Wei has made such a good move, they naturally want to fight for some benefits for their students.

Nie Wei was quickly contacted by several local universities and media colleges, and this was just the beginning.

A few days later, all universities in Tiannan and Haibei that have media departments and other universities that have a relationship with directors basically called Huayi, and they all inquired about Nie Wei's student director fund.

Even some pheasant schools want to join in the fun, trying to see if they can get a piece of the pie.

Nie Wei had expected this situation for a long time, he set up this fund, and he didn't want to benefit only the students of Jingdian, after all, there are only about 20 graduates of the directing department of Jingdian, even if the school recommends all of them to Nie Wei, Nie Wei also gives them the maximum amount, and Nie Wei only needs to spend 10 million yuan that year.

Does this kind of petty fight still need Nie Wei to come forward and announce it in person? It's too petty.

From the very beginning, Nie Wei was ready to face this fund to the whole country, since he wanted to benefit student directors, he couldn't just have one school, so it seemed that Nie Wei was too hardworking, and he only cared about the one-third of an acre of land in his alma mater.

Since the name of the Huaxia Student Director Fund has been played, it is naturally dominated by student directors from all over China.

However, Nie Wei's money is not blowing in the wind, such as those pheasant schools and private training classes, don't think about getting a penny from this fund, after all, you charge far more tuition than ordinary college students, and you don't have money to give benefits to your students?

Nie Wei didn't dare to guarantee where they would use the funds for such a school, even if there might really be a school that wanted to use this to train their students, but obviously Nie Wei couldn't review them one by one, so he could only kill mistakes and not let them go.

In Nie Wei's opinion, this place can only be taken from public schools.

And public schools can apply if they want to, but they also need the student's resume to match, and you can't just take a student out and say that he wants to make a movie, and Nie Wei agrees here, after all, even if Nie Wei has money, he can't waste it on them.

This money is to be used by Nie Wei for those who really want to make movies and will make movies.

Therefore, if you want to apply for funding, then you must have a complete script outline, and at the same time, you must also have some experience in crew internship, which is not worrying about the students of the three major film schools, because most of them have the opportunity to go to the crew to practice, and the school will organize the junior and senior students to go to some crews to observe and practice every year.

If the above conditions are met, Nie Wei will screen some scripts that are too badly written, and it will be almost the same.

Of course, you have to be fast, Nie Wei is not an unlimited quota, about 100 a year is a very reasonable expenditure for Nie Wei, for such a fund, Nie Wei can fully afford an investment of 50 million a year.

What's more, Nie Wei is not really a fortune boy, he took my money and made a movie, so the copyright of the movie naturally belongs to Nie Wei, although Nie Wei didn't expect these hundreds of thousands of student movies to make him any money, but this is undoubtedly a fortune.

As for the daily expenses of several student theaters, it is calculated separately, which in itself is a move by Nie Wei to lose money and gain fame.

And this is also an investment in talents, I believe that the directors who shoot their first movies with Nie Wei's fund will definitely remember Nie's only great favor.

Nie Wei can also select high-quality and potential talents from these directors to see if he can dig them into Huayi for training.

The state is very supportive of Nie Wei's young director fund, and soon various approvals were passed, and the fund was quickly launched, with 100 places booked in the first year, and the fund received thousands of applications on the same day.

Among them, Chengdu is to join in the fun, after layers of screening and return and modification and other processes, the first batch of fifty places will be distributed to various schools along with the funds a month later, it is worth mentioning that Jingdian has been allocated a full six places, after all, it is Nie Wei's alma mater, and it is also appropriate to take care of it secretly.

The student directors who received the notification were very excited, and most of them were getting so much money for the first time, and the key was that they could still use the money to fulfill their dreams.

This matter spread to the Internet, and countless people praised Nie Wei as a conscientious entrepreneur and a warm-hearted senior.

"Compared with some people who only pay attention to immediate interests, we see Nie Wei, he pays more attention to the cultivation of the future, whether it is to support the construction of schools, or to help the cultivation of talents, he is ahead of many people, what Huaxia Film needs is a person like Nie Wei, he can not only win glory for Huaxia Film, but also make great contributions to the future of Huaxia Film, he is a well-deserved example for contemporary filmmakers. ”

This remark caused a huge repercussion on the Internet, because the media that posted this remark is called Xia Keyu.

Xia Keyu has always been the overseas number of the Voice of the Country, and its articles also represent the Voice of the Country to a certain extent, which obviously means that even the country agrees with everything Nie Wei has done.

This makes Nie Wei's fans feel extremely proud and proud, after all, there are really not many artists and stars who can be named and praised by the state in these years.

Just after the first batch of lists was released by the Student Directors Fund, "Interstellar", which had been screened for 125 days, also completed its last screening at the Kyoto Grand Theater.

The attendance rate of this screening reached an astonishing 100%, and it was full, because this was a gift from Nie Wei's fans to Nie Wei.

This movie was released for 125 days, breaking countless records of Chinese films, and creating a box office figure of 5.372 billion, becoming a box office miracle for Chinese films at present!

Its end does not mean that it has become a thing of the past, but has become a legend of Chinese films.

In North America, the film also grossed more than expected $300 million, and in South Korea, the film exceeded 5.8 million viewers, far surpassing the previous record of 5 million non-local moviegoers for "Inception".

Hong Kong and Taiwan are also doing well at the box office.

Combined, the rest of the countries brought in nearly $250 million at the film's box office, bringing the total box office to a staggering $1.34 billion when you include the mainland and North American box office.

It ranked eighth in the global box office charts.

Ranking above this movie are "Blue Star Man", "The Ship Hitting the Iceberg", "Star Wars: Endless" and so on, in fact, if it was placed a year ago, Nie Wei's box office data could at least rank in the top five, but in 15 years, too many high-grossing Hollywood blockbusters have emerged.

However, this achievement is enough for Nie Wei to be proud of, he is also the only Chinese director whose directorial works can break into the top ten of the global box office list, and his previous "Inception" has fallen out of the top ten.

At the same time, Nie Wei's ranking in the global director's total box office ranking also continued to rise, squeezing out David Yates, the queen director of "Harry Potter" who ranked fifth, with a box office score of 5.6 billion, only after Kashen, ranking fifth among the world's highest-grossing directors.

It is worth mentioning that among the top ten directors, only Nie Wei is thirty years old, and the rest are at least twenty years older than him.

Among the Chinese directors, the closest to Nie Wei is Li Yan, whose total box office score is 1.5 billion, ranking 82nd, followed by Wu Yusen, with a total box office score of 1.3 billion, ranking 100st, and then Nie Wei is not clear, too far......

Now people search for Nie Wei's encyclopedia on the Internet, and everyone who clicks into it will be blinded by the dazzling resume.

And Nie Wei's footsteps to catch up with his predecessors have not stopped, on April 10, it was revealed on the Internet that Nie Wei appeared in Wudu and drank coffee with Ms. Rowling in a café.

The media took photos and speculated that Nie Wei was about to shoot another Rowling's work, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", a film adaptation.

Moreover, a film company in the industry also revealed that the company is negotiating with Max Films on the issue of joint investment, and I believe that there will be results soon.

Harry Potter fans all over the world are boiling, since the end of Harry Potter's last "Deathly Hallows", many fans feel that there may never be a Harry Potter movie again, this movie that has accompanied countless children from childhood to adolescence to adulthood is a precious memory for too many people, and it is a pity that it ends so much.

But "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" can completely make up for this regret.

Especially for many Harry Potter fans, this one is more in line with their taste, because the protagonist has also changed from a child to a young person, and is very close to their age, the key is that this story is also inextricably linked to Harry Potter, it is completely a prequel to Harry Potter, in addition to the absence of the Golden Iron Triangle, many familiar characters, such as Dumbledore, Voldemort, and the legendary Grindelwald and so on.

With their presence, Harry Potter fans will be very receptive to the film.

As expected by the media, Nie Wei went to visit Ms. Rowling because of the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", but the media's speculation is not all right, at least at present, Nie Wei has no idea of directing this movie immediately.

The first is the issue of investment, when the contract with Rowling was signed, it was already stated in the contract that Max Film could invest 40% of the total capital of the entire film, and the production cost of the entire film is expected to be 200 million US dollars.

This means that Max Films can only be responsible for investing 80 million of them, and the remaining part, Ms. Rowling herself invested 20 million US dollars, and the remaining 100 million is open to public bidding.

As another adaptation of Ms. Rowling, most of the people in the circle are optimistic, so there is no shortage of investment, but sometimes too many people invest in it, which can also cause trouble.

Now Nie Wei is screening partners for cooperation.

It may take more than two months, plus there is the Saturn Award ceremony at the end of May, and if Nie Wei wants to really start the film, I am afraid that it will not be possible until the autumn of this year.

However, during this time, Nie Wei didn't just put this adapted movie like this, the team or something is easy to say, Nie Wei already has his own director team, and he just needs to find some professional talents as a supplement.

The difficulty is the actor, the actor has been determined early, Joseph has already got the adapted script written by Nie Wei and began to hone the role, and the remaining roles Nie Wei is still weighing.

This time is just the right time for Nie Wei to think about his choice.

By the end of April, Nie Wei read a lot of actresses' information, and finally called the original heroine Catherine Waterston and invited her to take the position of heroine.

The actress was born in the UK and grew up there, which is in line with the nationality of the female character in the play, and in the original time and space, she also performed well and was a qualified actor.

However, Nie Wei was surprised by the reply.

It's not that the actress refused to act, but she agreed, but offered a salary of 10 million.

Hearing this reply, Nie Weiwei's brows furrowed instantly.

Ten million dollars, Nie Wei thinks this actress is crazy, you must know that although the actress has a good family, her father is still an Oscar winner, and she has acted in many works, but her popularity is not high, and many times she can only play some supporting roles in movies.

Nie Wei handed over a heroine with a 200 million investment in a movie to her, and instead of being grateful, she opened her mouth, which really made Nie Wei gain knowledge.

10 million, 10 million Nie Wei went to invite top female stars in Hollywood.

However, Nie Wei still had the patience and personally wrote a letter to the actress, in which he made it clear that a salary of 10 million was impossible, but Nie Wei originally intended to add 500,000 yuan to the original salary of 3 million.

This number is slightly higher in Nie Wei's opinion, he has known this actress, the salary of the previous drama was only 1.5 million, and he opened 3 million because he wanted to find her to be the heroine, and now it has risen to 3.5 million, Nie Wei feels that he has done his duty.

However, the other party still refused, biting ten million and not letting go.

"When I am wronged?" received the reply, Nie Wei threw it directly to the trash can, the three-legged toad is not easy to find, and there are too many two-legged actors, since you don't cherish the opportunity, then I won't stick your hot ass with a cold face, change people!

Without you as the original protagonist, wouldn't I be able to make a good movie?
