Chen Daoming and Zhang Ziyi were all stunned by Nie Wei's sudden question.

A few seconds later, Chen Daoming suddenly laughed and said, "I smell the fragrance over there, you talk first, and then I'll go and touch something delicious." As he spoke, he was already walking towards the BBQ chef.

Zhang Ziyi also came back to her senses at this time, but she didn't avoid Nie Wei's question, but looked at Nie Wei with great interest, as if she wanted to see from Nie Wei's face whether he was joking or serious.

"Sister Ziyi, I'm serious. Looking at Zhang Ziyi's gaze, Nie Wei guessed what she was thinking, so he told her with certainty and gave an explanation.

"Sister Ziyi, although your contract in Hollywood has always been represented by CAA, which is also the largest agency in the United States, to be honest, they only fancy your influence in China, but if you want to develop in the United States, they can't provide you with much help. ”

Zhang Ziyi was silent, of course she understood what Nie Wei said.

CAA is indeed the largest brokerage company in the United States and even the world, with a global business and countless resources, but the artists who are also in this agency are also facing fierce competition.

As an actor in Huaxia, Zhang Ziyi does not have any advantage in this competition.

Because CAA only focuses on Zhang Ziyi's influence in Huaxia, to put it more bluntly, it is a seemingly fair competition model within this company, but in fact, there is racial discrimination, most people in the company think that Huaxia actors cannot become first-class in Hollywood, so no matter how much resources are invested, it is a waste, so don't waste it.

"My Max Films is preparing to set up an agency department, and so far, only Joseph has signed a contract, and if you come, you will become the first sister of our company unconditionally. When Nie Wei said this, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help laughing, isn't she a first sister, just a female star, what else can she be if she is not a first sister?

Nie Wei also smiled, and then continued: "Although our company's resources are limited, not as wide as those covered by CAA, and also do not have the same global influence as the other party, our company also has advantages that they cannot match. ”

Zhang Ziyi's expression began to become more serious with Nie Wei's words.

"First, sister, as an actor, the most important thing is actually the work, and the rest are additional, as long as the work is outstanding, those things will also take the initiative to come to the door, and in the work part, I can say with absolute confidence that this is my company's strength. ”

"And compared with CAA's purely local film resources, I think I know better how to give full play to Sister Ziyi's advantages, but let you blindly cater to those roles that are not light or heavy. ”

Nie Wei's words can be regarded as saying something about Zhang Ziyi's heart.

Hollywood movies are naturally for Hollywood actors, although Hollywood actors come from all over the world, but in fact, most of them are mainly blacks and whites, and the survival of yellow people in Hollywood is very rare, even those native-born Chinese-Americans, not to mention the actors who have fought here from China.

At the beginning, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became popular in North America for a while, and Zhang Ziyi also signed a contract with CAA, thinking that she would be able to embark on the road of Hollywood superstardom, but in fact, the subsequent development was completely unexpected by her, making her hope as big as she was disappointed.

Several supporting actresses in a row dispelled her enthusiasm, and even if she played the heroine, most of them were in art films.

But Zhang Ziyi is no longer a hot-blooded rookie who has just left school, and she knows that no matter how many awards she gets, she can't help herself become famous in Hollywood, and only by starring in commercial movies can she really expand her influence and help herself become a big star.

But how is it possible for a Hollywood commercial film to use a Chinese actress as the heroine?

So even if the name of the international chapter is getting bigger and bigger in the future, in fact, the desire in her heart has never been realized, until now, "Inception" is popular all over the world, and the box office in Hollywood has even exceeded 250 million, she can be regarded as the heroine of a commercial blockbuster, and for the first time has the feeling of conquering Hollywood.

Of course, Zhang Ziyi is also very sober, her current popularity is only temporary, whether she can really conquer Hollywood depends on her later works, and all this, as Nie Wei said, he is the one who can help him the most.

In fact, the first time Nie Wei proposed to poach herself, Zhang Ziyi was moved, and the reason why she continued to listen to Nie Wei's explanation was more like listening to Nie Wei's sincerity.

"And in terms of film alone, we actually have an advantage over CAA. ”

"I own 100 percent Max Films, and I also own the second-largest in the United States... No, maybe in less than a year, it will be the number one cinema chain. ”

"In addition, signing with Max Films, I also have the ability to take care of your domestic market, if you originally wanted, the domestic brokerage contract can be signed under Huayi, and I will also give you the best conditions. ”

"In addition to these, such as variety shows, records, everything you want to involve, and you have the ability to do it, I will give you top-level resources, I believe you understand, I am not empty words, but with sincere promises, and can even be written into the contract. ”

Zhang Ziyi nodded subconsciously, with a touch of shock in her eyes.

Because after listening to Nie Wei's words at this time, she suddenly discovered that Nie Wei had so many resources and contacts unconsciously, maybe Nie Wei's entertainment empire at this time was just a prototype, but if she grew up according to this model, she would definitely become a world-class entertainment company in the future.

Becoming a veteran artist of such an entertainment empire, Zhang Ziyi felt that her heartbeat began to accelerate.

"Nie Wei, let me think about this matter for a while, in this way, we still have three days to return to China, and I will definitely give you an accurate answer before returning home. Zhang Ziyi thought for a while and said.

"Of course. Nie Wei nodded very understandingly, in the face of such a major life decision, let alone thinking about it for three days, even if it was considered for a month, it was not much.

Anyway, Nie Wei was not in a hurry, it was originally a temptation, and he never thought that Zhang Ziyi would promise him on the spot.

After all, Zhang Ziyi, a LEVEL star, can't be as enthusiastic as a rookie.

And she not only represents herself, but also has countless teams behind her who rely on her to eat, and the opinions of these people also need to be taken into account.

Since talking with Nie Wei, Zhang Ziyi has been preoccupied, even if there is a delicate meal presented by the well-known Michelin chef Blanco in the United States, she is still hungry.

After eating, Zhang Ziyi proposed to say goodbye, although Chen Daoming still wanted to chat with Nie Wei for a while, but when he saw Zhang Ziyi say goodbye, he had no choice but to accommodate the lady and leave Nie Wei's seaside villa together.

As soon as Zhang Ziyi returned to the hotel, she immediately took out the phone and called the domestic brokerage team.

The domestic brokerage team is Zhang Ziyi's henchman, here in Hollywood, she is surrounded by people sent by CAA, since she wants to change jobs, of course she can't discuss with these CAA people.

Among these people, there is no one Zhang Ziyi can trust, which is why she basically has no hesitation to change jobs.

Because CAA really only pays attention to simple interests, Zhang Ziyi is a native of China, and Huaxia pays attention to the human society, so she is really uncomfortable in CAA.

If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to maintain her reputation as an international superstar, she would have fled from this broken brokerage company a long time ago.

Now that she has a better backer, Zhang Ziyi is actually 99% inclined to jump to Nie Wei's side in her heart, and as for the remaining 100%, she wants her team to give her the last 1% of firm support.

Within an hour, all the thirty-seven partners that Zhang Ziyi relied on the most were notified, and then held an online conference together.

Speaking of which, thanks to the Fanxing Weibo platform, the network conference platform is a feature of the Fanxing Technology Group on the shelves two years ago, as long as it costs a few hundred yuan, you can enjoy exclusive broadband, and then through a software and camera of the Fanxing platform, you can have a meeting online.

Because of the smooth video connection, simple operation, and many functions, it quickly became popular in the business district.

Zhang Ziyi said to the computer what Nie Wei said to herself today, and simply told her trusted partners.

"Big guy, can you give me some advice?" asked Zhang Ziyi.

"Jump, why don't you jump, to be honest, I've long been fed up with the CAA gang, obviously I don't have much ability, you can't get any good show for your sister at all, but you still look arrogant, take garbage resources and give us a look, it's disgusting. ”

It was Zhang Ziyi's sister-in-law Yin Xu who spoke, she had been Zhang Ziyi's agent for a long time, until recently she wanted to pick up her old profession as an actor again, and gradually handed over the work of the agent to Zhang Ziyi's current agent Wang Ke.

It can be said that she is the person who has followed Zhang Ziyi for the longest time since she entered the industry, and naturally she knows the faces of the CAA gang best.

"If Nie Wei can do what he promised, we can jump. Zhang Ziyi's current agent, Wang Ke, also gave a positive answer.

The two nodded, and the rest of the people also nodded, seeing that Zhang Ziyi was about to end the meeting, and then find a time to reply to Nie Wei, suddenly a Zhang Ziyi's life assistant asked timidly: "Sister Ziyi, after you jump to Huayi and Max, can we still follow you?"

This question made everyone who was already discussing their life after changing jobs suddenly all quieted down.

"Yes, Nie Wei attaches great importance to Ziyi, not necessarily us, and does Nie Wei really allow us to continue to follow Ziyi? It stands to reason that he should arrange the talents of their company, right?"

"So what should we do, we won't be unemployed, right?"

"Ziyi, have you asked Nie Wei about this?"

Looking at the panicked crowd, Zhang Ziyi didn't know how to reply, because she really hadn't thought about this question.

"Ziyi, you should discuss this matter with Nie Wei, it's best to pack our entire team over, if he feels that the burden is a bit heavy, or we can set up a separate studio and attach it to Nie Wei's side. ”

"Well, I'll go to Nie Wei and ask first. Zhang Ziyi replied.

The problem of setting up a studio Zhang Ziyi has never thought about it, although the establishment of a studio is more independent, but it also loses more, this kind of affiliation relationship is more like a business cooperation model, unless the film company has excess resources, it is impossible to give top resources to this kind of studio artist.

This is the original intention of violating Ziyi's rules.

She would rather earn less by herself, and also hope to get more high-quality resources in her last golden hour, which is the guarantee of her future, as for money, it is just a number for her.

As one of the few top actresses in China, her ability to attract money is also top-notch, as long as she doesn't play with top luxury goods such as airplanes and yachts and a certain ticket, even if she squanders her life, she can't use up the money she has accumulated now.

So the only thing Zhang Ziyi can do now is to try to get through to Nie Wei, so that she can give herself more places, so that she can bring more people to change jobs.

After attending the celebration dinner of Max Films that night, Zhang Ziyi found Nie Wei again and told Nie Wei about the situation.

"Nie Wei, I've thought about changing jobs almost now, your thoughts and promises have touched me very much, but I have a concern now that makes me unable to make a decision immediately. ”

"Tell me, what are your concerns?" Nie Wei asked curiously.

"You know that I have been in the industry for so many years, and I have always had a professional team to serve me, and now if I change jobs, I would like to ask, how should my team be arranged?"

"Honestly, I've developed a good chemistry with them over the years, and if you're willing to accept my whole team, I can compromise on the terms of the share. Zhang Ziyi said.

Originally, the sharing conditions provided by Nie Wei were very favorable, and Zhang Ziyi felt that even if she gave five or even ten percent, it was acceptable.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Nie Wei burst out laughing.

"Sister Ziyi, your worries are unnecessary, since you have changed jobs, of course your team will also follow suit, but declare in advance that when you come to the new company, you must obey the company's orders, and you can't go your own way because you are not the team originally cultivated by the company. ”

"Of course, I understand that. Zhang Ziyi was surprised that Nie Wei had accepted his team so easily, when she suddenly heard Nie Wei's warning and hurriedly assured.

"Then what else can I say, of course, is to welcome with open arms. Nie Wei opened his hands, hugged Zhang Ziyi, and said with a smile: "Sister Ziyi, you are welcome to join." ”

"My pleasure. ”

Nie Wei said that Zhang Ziyi was moved here, and Max Pictures didn't think anything about it, after all, Zhang Ziyi was far from being a top actress in Hollywood, but because of the recent fire of "Inception", it just had a certain popularity.

But after Wang Zhonglei in China received a call from Nie Wei and knew about it, he almost went crazy without excitement.
