"Boss, this year is the fourth season of the summer concert, you don't know, in order to be able to fill the old bottle with new wine, how much thought our staff wasted, you see my hair is a lot grayer, just me's okay, there is a writer in our group who is so tired that he has become a Mediterranean, quite handsome young man, and recently he was forced to shave his head. ”

"And boss, you have been idle recently, and our show doesn't take up much of your time, so we can record it twice in the studio, and the rest can be free at your work, or we can simply go to your home to record, anyway, we will do whatever is convenient for you." ”

"As for the final stage, others need to worry, do you still need it? You are recognized as the king of the scene. ”

Ma Dong patted the horse's ass and complained at the same time, both prongedly, just when he was still thinking of more words in his mind that could 'impress' Nie Wei as he spoke, Nie Wei interrupted him.

"I agreed. ”

"Nie Wei, don't refuse so quickly, we can still discuss, and you are the boss of Star Entertainment, "Extreme Challenge" is still created by you, support us in a timely manner. ”

"So I agreed. ”

"Huh!?" When Nie Wei confirmed again, Ma Dong came back to his senses and widened his eyes in surprise.

In the past, when Nie Wei was invited to the show, he didn't persuade him for several days, and he persuaded Nie Wei to the point that he was annoyed, but this time Nie Wei agreed to himself so easily, and for a while Ma Dong felt a little incredible.

"Looking at your expression, it seems that I am very unwelcome, so I ......"

"No, no, the most honored guest of Extreme Challenge will always be you. Ma Dong showed his signature Maitreya smile, but in Nie Wei's opinion, this smile was as fake as it was.

"How is the summer concert arranged this year, you can tell me. Since Nie Wei has decided to be on the show, he naturally wants to understand it in more detail.

Although he has participated in summer concerts, as Ma Dong said, even if "Extreme Challenge" is fried cold rice, it must be fried with new ideas, so he knows that it is that summer concert, but Nie Wei knows that it must be completely different from the one he participated in.

"In the last episode of the show, we already announced that the summer concert will be held. ”

"This year's summer concert may be a little tight because it will be held a little late, and we expect to record three episodes, and we don't rule out four episodes, but the time to complete these recordings is only one month, and we have to officially hold the concert by mid-August. ”

"After all, if it's later, it will become a Mid-Autumn Festival concert. Ma Dong said jokingly.

"What about the guests, who else have you invited besides me?" Nie Wei asked curiously.

Ma Dong shook his head and replied: "At present, only you have promised me, but our program team has drawn up a list, such as JJ Junjie, Teacher Li Jian, and Teacher Wang Feng, these are all objects that can be cooperated." ”

"Can I recommend someone?" Nie Wei suddenly asked when he heard this.

Ma Dong was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses, and immediately nodded: "Of course, you say." ”

"Alain, she is going to release a single recently, which can be released at this summer concert, and the filming location will be placed in Huayi Company, and then let the film crew cooperate, I want to take the opportunity to promote several new groups and some trainees of the company. Nie Wei made a long list of requests.

Ma Dong was a little surprised that Nie Wei suddenly made such a bunch of requests, but without the slightest hesitation, he signaled that he had written them all down.

From Ma Dong's point of view, Nie Wei's request is actually not too much at all, in the past, when "Infinite Challenge" invited those big stars, it would also receive some requests from the brokerage companies behind those big stars to 'bring big and small'.

As long as it is not a serious scene, cameo shots and cameo performances like this are all within the rules for Ma Dong and "Infinite Challenge".

What's more, this is still a request made by the boss, and Ma Dong naturally has no reason to refute it.

It's just that he is very curious, why does Nie Wei suddenly want to bring a newcomer, even if the new combination is forgotten, even the trainees have to be taken care of, or is there any terrible newcomer among the trainees, who is the object of Huayi's next support?

Ma Dong guessed half right, there is indeed a great newcomer among the trainees, and that is Zhou Duoduo.

Only this sister can let Nie Wei speak out and let "Infinite Challenge" take care of the company's trainees, otherwise even if it is a trainee of Huayi, I am afraid that he is not qualified to appear on the camera of "Infinite Challenge", even if it is a cameo, if this is known to the trainees of other companies, I am afraid that I will be jealous.

"That's it, the first recording will be a week away, and I'll let you know two days in advance. Ma Dong got up with a smile and was about to say goodbye, after all, the goal had been achieved, and Nie Wei would not care about him if he stayed.

"Wait a minute, I have a variety show plan here, you can take it back and take a look. Nie Wei suddenly stopped Ma Dong, and then under Ma Dong's expectant gaze, he took out a brown paper bag from the drawer.

Ma Dong took the brown paper bag and wanted to open it on the spot, Nie Wei smiled after seeing it: "Take it back and look at it again, I'm afraid you will live in our Huayi Company today." ”

"Alright, bye-bye. Ma Dong waved his hand at Nie Wei, and without waiting for Nie Wei to respond, he hurriedly ran out of Nie Wei's office with a brown paper bag, obviously looking for a place to read this plan.

Nie Wei put down the hand that had just been raised halfway, and smiled helplessly, Ma Dong is the president of the variety show department of Star Entertainment, but this president is different from other presidents, he not only manages the company, but also does variety shows.

In Nie Wei's view, Ma Dong is definitely the pillar of the entire variety show department, even if the company has more first-line variety show coffee, it can't withstand Ma Dong's role in the company.

At the end of the year, Nie Wei has decided to give Ma Dong an extra percentage point of dividends, and Ma Dong has contributed to the company's current development, so Nie Wei can't be stingy, and he must follow the benefits in place.

There are benefits and friendships, so it is not easy for such talents to change jobs, otherwise there is no welfare just for friendship, and no matter how good friends are, they will eventually part ways.

A week has passed, the craze of "Inception" is still the same, and the single-week box office of one billion has made the total box office of this film exceed 1.6 billion, and it will still have about 100 million yuan of box office data every day after eight days of release, which is also the only movie in China so far that has such lasting popularity and box office appeal.

For this reason, the media also went to the cinema to do another interview, and also found the fundamental reason why "Inception" can maintain such box office appeal.

"I felt like this movie was like a super fun puzzle game, there were too many inconspicuous hints to discover, so I didn't think it was enough to watch it once, and I had to watch it a second time, but I still didn't think it was enough after watching it a second time, so I watched it a third time. ”

"This is the fifth time I've watched this movie, and every time I have made a new discovery, and this new discovery will always make me happy to continue watching it, because I feel that I still haven't fully unearthed all the doubts about this movie. ”

"I think it's important to watch it twice, at least when you're chatting with a friend, and you accidentally throw up a small problem that no one else notices, it often attracts an exclamation, and then you become the center of the chat group. ”

"I watched it over and over again just to prove that my IQ was normal. ”

"The actor's appearance is worth brushing once, the special effects are worth brushing twice, and the storyline is worth brushing ten times!"

Media interviews learned that the box office appeal of "Inception" has been maintained so well, most of which has a lot to do with fans watching this movie repeatedly.

Of the 100 viewers they interviewed, a surprising 43 percent of them watched it more than twice, and 55 percent of those who watched it twice watched it more than three times.

What surprised the host even more was that there was also an audience member who had watched it eight times, and he was afraid that the reporter would not believe it, so he also showed the reporter the movie ticket he had saved.

"I come to the cinema every day to watch Inception, it's really a movie that makes people feel more and more interesting the more I watch it, and the little tips that the director has buried, every time I find it, it's a small surprise for me. Facing the camera, the audience with eight movie tickets said that he would watch it for the ninth time.

In eight days, the scheduling rate of "Inception" is still as high as 53/8, and the attendance rate is still about 40% or 5, of which the attendance rate of the 3D version is still as high as eight floors, and there will still be queues at the entrance of cinemas in many prosperous areas.

And according to this trend, there is no suspense for the box office of "Inception" to break through 2 billion, and even this record will be completely enough to be born next week, and even the goal of 3 billion should not be too difficult.

According to the release cycle announced by the theater, "Inception" has at least three months to be released, and no expert dares to guess how much box office the film can get during this period.

And with the hot screening of "Inception", it has also brought a number of peripherals.

In Huayi's official mall, there are several props used by the Inception Squad to distinguish between reality and dreams, each limited to 2,000 copies, and five people are exactly 10,000 copies.

In less than two hours on the same day, all the props were sold out, especially the small spinning top used by Nie Wei in the play, which was sold out in less than two minutes.

The genuine props are not bought, and the audience who likes this movie is targeting those reposers who are moved by the wind.

For example, the small spinning top used by Nie Wei directly sold more than 40,000 copies on a certain treasure in just one week, which is completely a typical case of a movie feeding a gyro factory.

In addition, the props of the rest of the leading actors to distinguish between dreams and reality have also appeared in copied versions on the Internet, and the sales are also very impressive.

The official launch of the same name "Inception" also sold more than 50,000 copies a week after its release, ranking third in the book sales list that week.

The fact that this kind of hit movie of the same name can achieve such sales is definitely the best result in the past five years.

In North America, the box office of "Inception", which was released for eight days, has reached 130 million, ranking first in the North American box office list that week.

Some media have even begun to shout for Nie Wei, feeling that this year's Saturn Awards, the award for the best science fiction movie, already belong to "Inception".

Even some big directors have spoken out to the media, saying that Nie Wei's films have reached a world-class level, and in Hollywood, Nie Wei already has a place.

"He is the most impressive Chinese director after LEE and OO, he is even like a director who grew up in Hollywood, he shoots movies with Hollywood-style perfect rhythms, Hollywood-style world-class special effects, and Nie Wei's style is unique, I think he has embarked on the road to becoming a world-class director, and has taken a big step. Spielberg gave Nie Wei a very high evaluation when asked by a reporter.

After this report was transmitted back to China, it caused a heated discussion again, and Nie Wei's reputation also rose.

And the actors who starred in the movie naturally benefited a lot.

Joseph, as a local actor in North America, was finally remembered by the audience six years after his debut because of his outstanding performance in "Inception".

Within a week of the release of "Inception", he received more than 20 film scripts, including some inviting him to play the role of the male lead, and before that, he had only received a total of 15 scripts in six years.

The sudden surprise did not overwhelm him, as a member of the Jewish family, he inherited the intelligence of his parents and knew how to choose interests, so after getting these movie scripts, he did not let the agent reply as soon as possible, but took these scripts and ran to ask Nie Wei, hoping that Nie Wei could give him a choice.

Nie Wei had a good impression of Joseph, this young man was very dedicated when he was making movies, which left a good impression on Nie Wei, so when he asked for help, Nie Wei didn't feel that the other party bothered him, but was very happy to give him some help.

When Nie Wei finished reading twenty scripts, the answer he gave Joseph was: "Wait." ”

"Joseph, to be honest, I'm not optimistic about any of these twenty scripts, the advice I can give you is to keep waiting, although I am a director, I am also an actor, in my opinion, I would rather play the male lead in a good movie or TV series or even the male lead in a bad movie. ”

"You have fame and reputation now, but I don't want you to squander them, be patient, or even take the initiative to pursue opportunities, but remember one word, and that is to have more than abundant. ”

Hanging up the phone, Joseph fell into deep thought, but the agent who had been waiting for the news was anxious enough.

Nie Wei said that he was not optimistic about any of these twenty scripts. Hearing the agent's anxious inquiry, Joseph spread his hands and replied helplessly.

He didn't expect that Nie Wei hadn't read any of the twenty scripts.

There are even some scripts from Universal and Warner, but even so, Nie Wei still told him that he hoped he could reject these scripts.

After Joseph finished speaking, his agent immediately became anxious, in his opinion, Joseph is so popular now, he should immediately take over the filming of the TV series, and then strike while the iron is hot, instead of waiting silently and letting the popularity dissipate.
