Although Nie Wei's films have never been shot by the company, it is still necessary to go through the motions routinely.

And the people present who reviewed the script were actually very original, not to pick and choose Nie Wei's script, but simply to see the storyline of Nie Wei's new script first.

The conference room was very quiet, only the twelve supervisors who reviewed the manuscript occasionally turned the sound of the paper, and Nie Wei was not present, but drank tea and played chess with Wang Zhonglei in the lounge next to him.

About two hours later, when Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei were about to play the third game of chess, a staff member knocked on the door of the lounge.

"I think I've finished reading it. Nie Wei threw the chess pieces he had just caught back into the basket and said with a smile.

"Let's go together. Wang Zhonglei also stood up and walked towards the conference room next door with Nie Wei.

A few steps away, the two quickly entered the conference room, and when they saw Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei appear, everyone immediately got up to greet them.

"Sit down. Wang Zhonglei asked everyone to sit down, and at the same time pointed to an executive sitting at the bottom right of him, and asked: "Have you read the script, let's start with you." ”

"Yes. The executive who had just sat down hurriedly stood up again and reported: "I have already read the script, Mr. Nie wrote it perfectly, and I can't find any mistakes." ”

"So do we. The rest nodded in agreement.

Nie Wei's script, even if they feel that there is something inappropriate, in fact, they don't dare to say it, after all, Nie Wei's movies have always created a high box office, and all of this comes from the script created by Nie Wei himself.

So even if there are some doubts in their hearts, this group of people is silent, and they just applaud.

Nie Wei didn't expect these people to make any suggestions, and he didn't think that there was anything to change in his script, today's script review process is more just a formality, and the next focus is on film investment and crew formation.

The company's accountant, who had been waiting for a long time, took the fund application submitted by Nie Wei and reported it.

In the end, Interstellar cost about $160 million to make. ”

After listening to the accountant's conclusion, there was a 'huh' sound at the scene, not that I felt that this amount was too much, but that I felt that this amount was a little less.

"Mr. Nie, the production cost of "Inception" was 220 million US dollars before, and I think this movie has more special effects, 160 million is not a bit less. Someone asked.

"When I make a movie, I don't ask for more money, and I don't ask for less money. In the face of everyone's questions, Nie Wei explained: "The production cost of "Inception" is more than 200 million US dollars, because many of the special effects it uses are physical special effects, which require the support of some special equipment, and these special equipment are to be ordered temporarily, so it naturally increases the cost. ”

"The special effects of Interstellar are more computer effects, and the rest of the cost is mainly on the model. ”

"So I watched more special effects shots, but this movie actually cost less than Inception. ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded hurriedly, anyway, as long as it wasn't Nie Wei 'cutting corners' in order to save money, you must know that most of these people here are new shareholders or shareholder representatives after Huayi's listing, as well as investment representatives including Huaying, who are most concerned about the final income of the movie.

Nie Wei has proven his box office appeal with his strength, and they have also seen the benefits brought by high-quality movies, so they are more willing to spend more investment in exchange for more returns.

Although Nie Wei, as a major shareholder, may not be able to cheat his own company, everyone actually thinks in their hearts that even if they spend more production costs, they must make it safer.

So the end result is that even though Nie Wei's application report to the board of directors has written a production fee of 160 million US dollars, in the end, everyone, including Wang Zhonglei, finally unanimously decided that the film production fee for Nie Wei is 180 million US dollars.

In Wang Zhonglei's words, spend as much as possible, and then talk about it when you can't finish it.

After the news of the meeting spread that day, the directors in the entertainment industry were envious, these days, even big directors such as Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou sometimes fight for tens of millions or even millions of production fees, just because everyone's investors want to invest less money and then want a high box office.

And it is really rare for investors like Nie Wei to be able to enjoy the desperate giving money in China.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Nie Wei has been undefeated at the box office since he became a director, Nie Wei's movies are really something that many investors can't join with waving checks, and those who seize investment opportunities often desperately take out money from their pockets and stuff it into Nie Wei's pocket, so Nie Wei may not be happy to accept it.

Every time Nie Wei's film is made, Huayi's foreign investment often accounts for only 20% of the total investment in the film, and sometimes even less.

Why Huayi's shares rose so fast after listing, basically every additional issuance will be quickly digested by the market, it is because some people who waved checks and couldn't invest in Nie Wei's movies simply bought Huayi's shares and turned outsiders into their own.

After the meeting that day, 50 million US dollars had been credited to the crew's account as the funds for the preparation of the crew, and this account was supervised by Shu Chang, a new producer.

In the days that followed, the person who was away from home all day became comfortable.

Although Nie Wei also matched Shu Chang with two experienced producers as helpers, it is really busy for a large crew like "Interstellar" to be busy, especially in the early stage of preparation, it is really so busy that the producers can't touch the ground.

Even the busiest two days, Shu Chang didn't even have time to talk to Nie Wei on the phone, and Nie Wei couldn't see Shu Chang for five days, and he ate alone every day.

On September 16, the Mid-Autumn Festival of the official family reunion, Shu Chang told Nie Wei two days ago that he would go back to Kyoto to accompany Nie Wei for the holiday, but he didn't expect that Nie Wei was having breakfast that morning and wanted to pick up Shu Chang for a while, and as a result, he received a call from Shu Chang to ask for leave.

"Nie Wei, I'm sorry, the local tour guide told me in the morning that the weather was very good, and it was suitable for going to the Kubuqi Desert to pick scenery, and I didn't want to waste time, so there may be no way to go back to Beijing today. ”

"It's okay, the work is important, but you also have to pay attention to safety, let the convoy bring enough water, don't forget to work on sun protection, listen to the guide in everything in the desert, don't act alone. ”

"Well, husband, don't worry, I'll listen to you. ”

"Okay, I won't bother you with your work, come on. Nie Weiqiang endured the reluctance in his heart and was about to hang up the phone, but Shu Chang on the other end of the phone suddenly said with a crying voice: "Husband, I miss you so much." ”

The slightly trembling voice made Nie Wei's heart tremble, and he hurriedly replied, "I miss you too." ”

Then Nie Wei comforted her again, so that Shu Chang's mood stabilized, Nie Wei could hear that Shu Chang was also under great pressure, she was so busy with time, most of the time she didn't want others to underestimate her, thinking that she was not dedicated, and these were mostly for Nie Wei.

After all, she was recommended by Nie Wei to become a producer, and her behavior also represents Nie Wei's vision to a large extent.

The two chatted for fifteen minutes, until someone on the other side of Shu Chang's phone called her to leave, and the two reluctantly hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Nie Wei looked at the half-eaten breakfast, and he also lost his appetite.

Just when Nie Wei asked the maid on the side to remove the breakfast, the mobile phone on the table rang again, and the expression on Nie Wei's face instantly changed from loss to surprise, thinking that Shu Chang had called again, and even wondered if Shu Chang had temporarily changed his decision to return to Beijing.

As a result, when I picked up my mobile phone, it turned out to be a call from my mother Su Qing.

"Hey, Mom. Nie Wei threw himself on the sofa and connected the phone weakly.

"Hey, son, have you had breakfast?" asked Su Qing with concern as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Eaten, just finished eating. ”

"What are you eating?"

"Eggs, corn, and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. ”

"Ah, okay, it's very nutritious, by the way, will you go back to the courtyard tonight for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Su Qing asked the point.

"Return, I'll go to the courtyard as soon as I get off work. Nie Wei replied without hesitation.

"Ah, really, that's great, remember to bring Shu Chang and Duoduo with you, and Mom will prepare a big meal for you in the evening." When Su Qing heard that Nie Wei was going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, she immediately smiled happily.

"Uh......" Nie Wei was suddenly embarrassed and didn't know what to answer, because Su Qing mentioned two women, and he couldn't bring any of them back to the courtyard.

"What's wrong?" Su Qing also heard the hesitation in Nie Wei's tone, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Shu Chang recently served as the producer of my new film, and now I am in Inner Mongolia to inspect the filming location, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Kyoto today. ”

"Oh, you kid, how can you let your daughter-in-law work during the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Su Qing was immediately dissatisfied when she heard Nie Wei's words.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a day of reunion, but the daughter-in-law actually went to work in the field, how could Su Qing be satisfied, in her opinion, this is Nie Wei's fault, who made Nie Wei the boss, the daughter-in-law's work must have been arranged by him.

Nie Wei also has bitterness and can't say it.

As a director, he has never interfered in the producer's work, every time Nie Wei stipulates a working time, as long as the producer ensures the quality of the work completed during the working hours, Nie Wei will not say anything.

But Nie Wei couldn't explain this matter to Su Qing, this was all Shu Chang's own behavior, so Nie Wei could only silently take the pot for his wife, and the result was that he was reprimanded by Su Qing on the phone for more than ten minutes.

"Shu Chang can't come back from abroad, Duoduo won't be able to go home, right?" Su Qing asked with a hint of anger in her tone, Shu Chang She won't be able to relieve her anger for a while, you must know that her pain for this daughter-in-law is sometimes better than Zhou Duoduo, thinking that she can't see Shu Chang in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Su Qing feels sad.

"Uh... Mom, Zhou Duoduo wants to stay in the company and participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival party held by the company, but there is no way to go home. Nie Wei thought that Su Qing would be angry before he said it, so he explained immediately after speaking.

"Mom, listen to me, this is very important to Duoduo, she shouldn't have told you yet, she has been promoted to our company's B-level trainee, so she can also put out a show with her partners at this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, for this show, they have been scheduled for almost a month, you won't let her all her efforts this month be in vain, right?"

"You...... Don't come!" Su Qing hung up the phone angrily, making Nie Wei also helpless.

After a while, Zhou Aiguo called over.

"Xiao Wei, why did you make your mother angry, this guy, I poured tea and splashed some water just now, and I was scolded for being a bloody sprinkler. Zhou Aiguo said with palpitations.

Nie Wei wanted to be happy, but he felt a little unkind, but in the end he endured it and was not happy.

Later, Nie Wei also explained Su Qing's anger to Zhou Aiguo, and Zhou Aiguo was also silent for a while after listening to it, obviously he couldn't accept that Shu Chang and Zhou Duoduo couldn't go home during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Especially Zhou Duoduo, since Zhou Aiguo sent this girl to Huayi, he hasn't seen him for half a year, as a child brought up by himself since he was a child, Zhou Aiguo really thinks about it day and night, and was looking forward to seeing it in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he didn't expect that there would be no chance.

It's just that Zhou Aiguo is a person who does big business in the end, and he also understands that opportunities are very important to Zhou Duoduo now.

"Okay, I'll go and tell your mother, by the way, don't forget to send your sister some sugar-fried chestnuts and mooncakes, mooncakes love salted egg lotus paste and fruity flavor. ”

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhou, can I not take care of my sister, I asked someone to send the moon cakes yesterday, and today I specially prepared hairy crabs for her, and when she finishes performing at night, I will ask someone to steam them and send them to the dormitory, and I will ask someone to buy them in a while, in short, I will not wronged my sister." ”

"Okay, you're pretty reliable. Zhou Aiguo smiled with satisfaction, what he liked the most was that Nie Wei took good care of Zhou Duoduo, not his own brother but better than his own brother.

At this time, in the practice room of the Huayi Annex Building, Zhou Duoduo, Huang Ting and Mu Han were hiding in the corner and taking advantage of the rest to steal moon cakes.

"Duoduo, the mooncakes sent by your brother are really high-end and delicious, but there is a shortcoming. Mu Han said vaguely while holding a piece of moon cake and eating it.

"Don't eat if you have shortcomings, the three of us are the ones you eat the most. Zhou Duoduo rolled his eyes at Mu Han, thinking that such a delicious moon cake can't stop your mouth.

Mu Han smirked, of course she had to continue to eat such delicious moon cakes, but she also had to talk about the shortcomings.

"Duoduo, these moon cakes are very delicious, some of them are the first time in my life, I want this chocolate, there is also this snow skin, by the way, there is also this durian, but because it is so delicious, I ate a lot at once, I patted me to give a lot of pounds this week. ”

Mu Han finally sighed, touched his slightly supported little belly, and felt that he was afraid that he would have to finish the weight check in a few days.
