1083. Donation to alma mater
At the beginning of September, "Inception" has been released for more than 60 days, and the mainland box office has exceeded 3 billion.
Nie Wei once again broke the record set by himself and raised the highest domestic box office record by a big cut.
At present, many artist evaluation companies have included Nie Wei in the unique category, because in the whole of China, there is really no such special artist as Nie Wei.
In terms of being an actor, Nie Wei is definitely the top of the top, even though there are still gaps and restrictions on some roles because of his age, but whether it is acting skills or fame, he is already the strongest handful of Chinese actors.
If this is the case, perhaps these appraisal companies will not be able to include Nie Wei in the only file.
But Nie Wei's identity is just an actor at all, like a director, Nie Wei is the most well-known director in China now, there is no one, whether it is Feng Xiaogang or Zhang Yimou, or Chen Kaige, and even Li Yu, who was proud of the Chinese in the past, is not as good as Nie Wei who is now in the limelight.
Just like CTV went abroad to do a Hollywood interview before, when Nie Wei was mentioned, those foreign big stars all gave a thumbs up, and they also took the initiative to invite Nie Wei to play in the show, clearly expressing their willingness to appear in Nie Wei's movies.
This degree of popularity with Hollywood stars is really something that no director in China can enjoy.
In addition, Nie Wei's strength in music is also amazing, and the song "SUMMER-FUNK" not only helped "Infinite Challenge" win the ratings of 12.62, but also created a miraculous record in the oil turtle.
In just one week, this song has created a record of 100 million on-demand rates on the turtle, and has become the song that has broken through the 100 million on-demand rate in the shortest time.
And it only took 27 days for this song to set a record again, becoming the shortest song on the oil turtle to break through 500 million on-demand rates.
Stop-percussion music, which was once popular in the United States in the 70s, suddenly became popular again because of "SUMMER-FUNK".
Originally, those musicians who did rap or pop also became interested in stop percussion and even disco style, and in just one month, three first-line singers released similar singles, and the quality was also good.
For a while, retro style prevailed in Europe and the United States, and FUNK and disco became mainstream, and many musicians felt as if they were excluded by the entire music circle if they didn't talk about a few related topics on the show.
"Nie Wei, this is an invitation from the National Music Festival in October. Luo Kai handed a delicate envelope to Nie Wei's desk.
Nie Wei opened the envelope, and inside was a letter of invitation.
The content is basically the official one.,Anyway, it's to show that I'm very sincere or something.。
"The organizer called and promised, saying that if you are willing to agree to the invitation, they will give you the treatment of a first-line singer, how about it, do you want to go?" Luo Kai asked.
If it were another singer, Luo Kai wouldn't have asked that, being invited to the world's top music festival like the National Music Festival is definitely a thing that cannot be missed for Chinese singers, but Nie Wei is different.
"Go. Nie Wei replied simply.
From Nie Wei's point of view, this was originally part of his plan, and he was not going to make an album specifically for "SUNMMER-FUNK", so naturally he couldn't go to a music show that he didn't have to hit the charts.
So this kind of music festival is the best place for Nie Wei to promote his music.
First, he can choose his own songs, Nie Wei just took out the songs that were popular before but no one knew that they were created by himself, and sang them again to deepen the impression of the audience, and secondly, such music festivals are sung live, which is exactly Nie Wei's strength.
This kind of LIVE show is actually the most attractive to the audience.
"Okay, I'll reply to the other party right here. Luo Kai heard that Nie Wei agreed to the invitation, and without asking anything, he turned around and left the office.
And Nie Wei continued to write the script of "Interstellar".
Just ten days ago, Nie Wei went to the United States, met Kip Thorne again at the Canadian Institute of Technology, and asked the master of physics a lot of questions, and the two chatted for more than two hours before ending this conversation.
Since then, Nie Wei has fallen into a state of semi-retreat, in addition to daily work, Nie Wei is basically immersed in studying his own script, and after more than a week, Nie Wei has finally completed the final script.
The overall structure of the script has not changed much, mainly because the identities and backgrounds of some protagonists have been changed, and the storyline Nie Wei has not moved much, this time the creation is more about Nie Wei feeling that his understanding of the script has deepened.
If in the original version, Nie Wei felt that he could make a movie with a score of 99 with his best efforts, then now with the final version of the script, Nie Wei feels that he can make a movie with a score of 99.
As for the perfect score, Nie Wei feels that unless he is the god of directors, no one can make a work that satisfies him 100%.
At twelve o'clock, the secretary called for dinner from the cafeteria, and Nie Wei and Luo Kai gathered at the desk to deal with the pair's lunch.
"Let those netizens see us eating like this at noon, they must have been shocked to lose their eyeballs. Luo Kai took a mouthful of hot kohlrabi and said with a smile.
On the table of the two of them are the staff meals of Huayi Canteen, four dishes and one soup.
The reason why Luo Kai suddenly came to such a sentence is mainly because he has seen a lot of netizens' speculation about Nie Wei's daily life, thinking that he is so rich, and his eating and drinking consumption must be top-notch, such as drinking water must be the same as that of France, the seafood he eats is all airlifted from all over the world, and the clothes he wears are also hand-customized by a certain royal tailor......
Luo Kai wanted to laugh when he read these words, and sometimes he really couldn't help but want to reply to this group of people thinking too much.
Although Nie Wei does not belong to the character of Grandtai, he is not as luxurious as those people think, and he is extravagant and wasteful, on weekdays, Nie Wei eats a small stove for executives in the canteen, and he has not seen any special requirements, basically Nie Wei eats whatever the canteen master does.
The water to drink is also the mineral water ordered by the company, and only when making tea, Nie Wei is more particular about the water he uses.
However, wearing clothes and accessories, Nie Wei is a star after all, and he pays attention to a glamorous and glamorous one, so naturally it is impossible to be sloppy every day, but when he is at home, Nie Wei dresses very casually, basically what is comfortable to wear.
Luo Kai himself doesn't know how many times he has seen Nie Wei wearing a big pants and a big vest at home, so that he doesn't have the scene of wearing a white shirt and holding a coffee cup reading in the sun as those little girls imagined.
Life is life, idol dramas are idol dramas, but unfortunately Luo Kai understands this truth, and those little girls may actually understand it, but they would rather live in a dream than understand.
"What's the itinerary for the afternoon?" Nie Wei asked.
"Your alma mater's donation activities, you won't even forget this, right?" Luo Kai's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Nie Wei incredulously.
It was a donation project of more than 100 million, and Nie Wei would forget it, he was sure that Nie Wei really forgot it.
"I'm sorry, I've been studying the script lately, and I'm a little confused. Nie Wei patted his head and smiled embarrassedly.
In fact, the amount of this donation has been allocated to Nortel as early as a month ago, and now the new Nortel theater named after Nie Wei has officially started, in addition, this donation also includes a new IMAX-3D theater, and a number of foreign updated top equipment.
For the support of his alma mater, Nie Wei has always spared no effort.
This is a feedback for Nortel to cultivate itself, and of course, it is more important to pay attention to those young talents in Nortel, the cradle of Chinese films.
For example, Zhang Meng, the company's recent little flower, is actually a member of Huayi and Nortel's talent introduction plan.
Over the years, Nie Wei has donated a total of more than 500 million Huaxia coins of various buildings, equipment and funds to Nortel in his own name and the name of Huayi, and Nortel has also sent a lot of talents to Huayi over the years.
And not only the actors, but also the directors, cinematographers and many behind-the-scenes technical staff, basically as long as they have the ability, 80% of them go to Huayi.
Many people in the circle are even ridiculing Nortel, saying that it has become a talent reserve base for Huayi.
Nortel doesn't care about this, in their opinion, all those who say this are jealous, domestic art colleges can receive more than 100 million yuan in donations every year, Nortel is the only one.
This money not only makes Nortel's teaching hard power the undisputed first place in the country, but also improves the lives of students and even teachers.
Nie Wei established two funds three years ago, which are dedicated to serving teachers and students, such as teachers' travel, it is good to say that those who have cars, and teachers who do not have cars have to squeeze buses on weekdays, but since Nie Wei established the fund, Nortel has six buses dedicated to picking up and dropping off teachers.
Even the wages received by the drivers of these buses do not need Nortel to be responsible for a dime, all of them are from the fund, and there are many similar benefits, in addition to not being able to send money directly, Nortel's teacher's treatment is really envied by teachers in art schools across the country because of Nie Wei.
And Nortel's teachers always praise Nie Wei and praise him as the pride of Nortel.
Nortel's treatment of Nie Wei is really high enough, and the first thing in the corridor on the first floor is the portrait of Nie Wei's outstanding graduates, and the rows of honors in it allow countless new students to report to see it at first glance.
And those retired teachers, as long as they are willing, Huayi is willing to hire them as the company's special teachers, not only is they equally respected, but also the work is easier than the school, there is no performance pressure, and the most important thing is that the treatment is better than when they were on the job.
In recent years, the retirement rate of Nortel teachers has increased significantly, and 100% of these retired teachers have gone to work in Huayi.
Originally, not retiring was a headache, but now the school has to keep some teaching backbones, begging them not to leave early, for this matter, Principal Wang also specially called Nie Wei, asking him not to dig the foot of the wall with Nortel.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Nie Wei appeared at Nortel on time, and more than 20 local media came to the scene.
In addition to the media, there were also students who were all present, and when Nie Wei came, the group of people had been crowded in the auditorium for almost half an hour.
With the arrival of Nie Wei, the donation ceremony was officially held.
The routine leader's speech made the students in the audience drowsy, but some little girls stared at Nie Wei very energetically, anyway, hiding in the crowd, they didn't need to hide their eyes.
Nie Wei also felt bored, but he hadn't yawned as insolently as the students in the audience, after all, most of the speeches of the leaders on the stage were touting himself.
One after another, leaders took the stage to speak, from the head of the department to the dean to the vice president to the president, and finally the leaders in charge of culture and sports in Kyoto, as well as the Education Bureau...... For more than an hour, the students in the audience were almost asleep, and it was finally Nie Wei's turn to speak.
"Ahem, please try to sober yourself up, my speech is only five minutes. Nie Wei's first sentence made the entire auditorium burst into laughter, including the leaders who had spoken before.
"As a Nortel graduate, the days at Nortel are unforgettable in my life, and when you enter the entertainment industry in the future, whether you are as an actor, as a director, or as a photographer or voice actor, everyone will support each other and help each other, because from the moment you step into this school, your body has been branded with the 'Nortel brand'. ”
"This is our home in the entertainment industry, our warm harbor, no matter how great your achievements are in the future, only the days here will be your most precious memories. ”
"This is also the reason why I continue to donate to my alma mater, I hope that my home can become better, and I also hope that my family can cultivate more outstanding younger students, and I am waiting for you in the entertainment industry, come on!"
said that it was five minutes, Nie Wei's speech was actually less than three minutes, but this speech received the largest applause from the audience, and even the teachers and leaders of Nortel were clapping their hands hard.
"Nie Wei, what I said just now is so good, that's right, Nortel is the home of your children, so you have to go home often when you have time. After the donation event ended, Wang Jinsong waited for Nie Wei at the door, just to say this.
"Mr. Wang, I will definitely come back often. Nie Wei agreed with a smile, just like what he said on the stage just now, that short period of life at Nortel is really one of Nie Wei's best memories.
Because the days of that period were really pure and easy to satisfy, this is the happiness that Nie Wei can't enjoy with the box office of three billion now.
A donation of hundreds of millions of dollars immediately made the front page headlines of many newspapers the next day, but Nie Wei, who spent the money, did not pay attention to these reports at all.
In Huayi's conference room, all the executives gathered together, because Nie Wei's new movie was about to start sailing again.
