Chapter 1099 1199. Gradually Heating Up

Charity is something that every entrepreneur cannot avoid.

Just like what Superman Lee said, he believes that inner wealth is the real wealth.

"If you let me say, the two words wealth are not connected. The real wealth is to be a member of society and use your money to make this society better, more progressive, and more people pay attention to it."

And this wealth, in Nie Wei's view, is the two words charity.

As the saying goes, 'If you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you should help the world', which means that when you have no ability, you should be able to do a good job of personal moral cultivation, and when you have the ability, you should give back to the whole society as much as possible.

As one of the few people with the most wealth in China, Nie Wei naturally has to fulfill the important task of 'helping the world'.

In recent years, Nie Wei has built more than a thousand Hope Primary Schools across the country and established various charity funds, with a total investment of more than 3 billion Chinese yuan.

In addition, Nie Wei's company has also made an indelible contribution to the urban construction of Kyoto City, where the headquarters is located.

Last year, Nie Wei's company donated two million trash cans to Kyoto to contribute to improving the city's environment. In 2010, some bus stops needed to be demolished and rebuilt due to aging. In this regard, Nie Wei helped the city build 500 new bus stops with a house-like structure at an extremely low price.

This type of bus stop is different from the previous bus stop form. It is not just a simple rain shelter, but is directly built in the style of a simple small house.

The walls are all made of glass, so it does not hinder the view of people waiting.

The advantage of such a building is that in winter, people waiting for the bus can avoid the cold inside. Although there is no heating equipment, it can at least block the wind, and some homeless people in the city can also stay overnight in such bus stops at night.

After these stops were built, there was a lot of applause on the Internet.

Nie Wei did so much charity, of course, it was not a waste of money. For example, Nie Wei has owned the LED billboards of 500 bus stops for five years. These bus stops are not only his contribution to the construction of the city, but also his propaganda weapon.

He also continuously funded the construction of the academy of Beijing Electric Power, and Beijing Electric Power has also given back many talents to Huayi over the years.

And like today, as soon as his movie is about to be released, Huaxia TV immediately sent an interview team to make a 30-minute documentary for them and broadcast it on the movie channel. The fact that he can get such publicity power has a lot to do with Nie Wei's continuous use of his wealth to give back to society over the years.

While he is doing charity, the country will also see his performance and increase his impression points in the eyes of many people. This is the long-term way.

And since ancient times, those "Grandet-style" rich people, no matter how much money they can make, how rich they are, but if they are only for their own selfish interests, the final end will be miserable.

The movie ended successfully, but for Nie Wei, it was just the beginning.

They, the leading actors, did not even have time to hold a celebration banquet, so they took Nie Wei's private plane to Los Angeles, USA. In more than 20 hours, there will be a premiere waiting for them there.

And as the premiere of "Interstellar" ended, countless media and film critics who attended the premiere also expressed their views on the movie.

Brother Baiwan is the one that has received more attention from the public. After all, many people want to know whether Brother Baiwan, who spent one million to buy movie tickets to watch a movie, thinks that his one million is worth it.

On the way home, Brother Baiwan couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and send a short message on his Weibo.

"An epic science fiction movie, the one million is worth it!"

Although Brother Baiwan's evaluation is less than 20 words, it is very high, which immediately attracted all the fans lurking on Brother Baiwan's Weibo.

"Brother Baiwan, is this true? Is it really that good?"

"Brother Baiwan is a man of his words. If you say it's an epic science fiction movie, it's an epic science fiction movie. I tell you, buy a ticket and watch it. As long as you like science fiction movies, this movie will never let you down."

"I believe in Nie Wei's ability, but I don't believe you really think it's worth spending a million to buy a ticket."

"It's just one million. If it happens again, I'll pay even 10 million!"

"Brother Baiwan is awesome! He really loves Nie Wei."

"I suspect that Brother Baiwan is a shill arranged by Nie Wei. This guy is so good at licking."

"I want to go to the cinema right away, but I counted on my fingers and it turned out to be five days away. I'm so desperate. How can I spend these five days?"

Brother Baiwan interacted with netizens while watching his popularity soar. Thinking about Nie Wei's suggestion that he start a live broadcast, Brother Baiwan was more and more excited.

Of course, he didn't forget the important thing. After replying to several netizens, Brother Baiwan, who was satisfied, immediately found a name called Brother Qi from the phone book and pressed the call button.

"Hey, isn't this the famous Brother Baiwan? Why do you want to show off to me after watching the movie?"

"Brother Qi, don't tease me. I really have something serious to tell you."

"Go ahead, I'm all ears." In a 4S store far away in Suzhou and Hangzhou, a man in a black sweater listened to the introduction of the car salesman and casually answered Brother Baiwan on the other end of the phone.

But half an hour later, Brother Qi's expression gradually became serious.

Nie Wei was already on the plane when he received the text message from Baiwan Ge. The news brought by Baiwan Ge was not bad news, but it was not good news either. The Seventh Brother who had the copyright of "Three Body" did not agree immediately, but proposed to talk to Nie Wei in person.

"Ask him if we can talk on the phone?" Nie Wei thought about it and replied.

About half a minute later, Baiwan Ge sent another message.

"Yes, the other party's number is 139XXXXXXXX, his name is Yi Qi, and his family is in the imported car business."

Nie Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this simple information. A person in the imported car business actually bought the copyright of "Three Body". Obviously, he has money to burn.

However, it may be because of this that many people can't find out who has the copyright of "Three Body". After all, no one would have thought that the person who bought the copyright would be a person in the imported car business.

Nie Wei asked the flight attendant to bring the satellite phone, dialed the number, and the call was quickly connected.

The conversation with Yi Qi went very smoothly. The other party bought the copyright of "Three-Body" because, like Brother Baiwan, he liked science fiction and wanted to invest.

Yi Qi only spent one million to buy the copyright of "Three-Body" at a premium. It is said that the publishing house he bought the copyright from only paid more than 100,000 yuan for the copyright of "Three-Body".

Nie Wei thought about it and offered a price of five million. Yi Qi thought it was quite reasonable and agreed without hesitation.

However, Yi Qi made a special request. He hoped that Nie Wei would invite him to the premiere of "Three-Body" in the future. For such a simple request, Nie Wei naturally agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Nie Wei handed the matter over to Huayi for handling.

Nie Wei felt that it was a suitable price to buy the copyright of "Three-Body" for five million. "Three-Body" is indeed a "supreme treasure" in the hearts of many science fiction fans, but it will really become popular after winning the Hugo Award next year.

At present, this novel is only the "Bible" in the minds of domestic science fiction fans, but in just half a year, it will be famous all over the world and become a classic in the minds of many science fiction fans around the world, and that time will be the best time to announce the production of "The Three-Body Problem".

Before that, Nie Wei still had the task of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". Thinking of this, Nie Wei smiled helplessly and felt that the upcoming 2015 would obviously be a very busy year for him.

The next day, Nie Wei successfully completed the premiere of "Interstellar" in Los Angeles.

Thomas listened to the thunderous applause at the scene, suppressed his smile, and tried to put on a face that did not show his emotions, but the corners of his mouth that kept rising and tightening urgently showed that he was struggling to hold back.

Of course he was happy, even happy to the point of exploding.

Based on the audience's reaction today, Thomas knew that Interstellar would be a hit when it was released in a few days, and it would be another masterpiece launched by Max Films. Coupled with next year's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, several consecutive hits would make Max Films catch up with the "Big Six".

Thomas even began to imagine that in the near future, the media would rank Max Films alongside the Big Six and become the seventh largest film company in Hollywood, and he would surely be very successful by then.

Nie Wei saw Thomas's little moves clearly, and he could only give a qualified evaluation of the man he chose to lead Max.

Thomas was a man who was good at maintaining the status quo but not at pioneering. He was always cautious and could not let go of his hands and feet in doing anything, but his greatest advantage was that he was obedient. He did not compromise on Nie Wei's instructions at all, and he was not authoritarian.

If Nie Wei were to rate his work, Nie Wei might give him 70 points out of 100, which was not good enough, but above passing.

So recently Nie Wei has also been looking for management talents, not to replace Thomas, but to "assist" Thomas, give Thomas advice, and help him make up his mind when Thomas is hesitant.

After all, Max Films can't always rely on its own movies to support its facade. If it really wants to catch up with the Big Six and surpass them, it must broaden its horizons and boldly produce or invest in movies.

Thomas didn't know that Nie Wei had secretly looked for someone to share power with Max Films. Even if Thomas knew, he probably wouldn't care. He even wished that more talents could help him manage, so that his burden could be lighter.

Kip Thorne was also present today. This old man also saw the complete edited version of the movie for the first time. At the end, he happily gave Nie Wei a hug.

"It's a great movie, I like it very much."

"Thank you, professor, and thank you for your help." Nie Wei thanked.

Kip Thorne gave Nie Wei strong theoretical support for this movie, otherwise Nie Wei would have difficulty in creating it with so much physics knowledge.

In addition to the three meetings, Nie Wei had hundreds of phone calls with Kip Thorne during the filming of the movie. During this period, Kip Thorne solved many scientific doubts for Nie Wei, and also made the scientific theory foundation of his film more solid.

"Professor, I have another unwelcome request. Our country's Huaxia TV wants to make a documentary for this movie. If possible, can they interview you?"

"Of course, I'd love to." Kip Thorne was obviously in a good mood and immediately agreed.

Of course, he agreed so readily because Nie Wei was very generous. He could earn 100,000 US dollars for endorsing Nie Wei's book in front of the media.

And he promoted the movie, in fact, he was also promoting his scientific theory and increasing his popularity. He would certainly not refuse such a thing that could both increase his reputation and make money, and even thought that the more the better.

Anyway, he didn't have any important research projects recently, so it wouldn't be a waste of time to take this opportunity to make more money and become more famous.

In addition to Huaxia TV, the old man also agreed to be interviewed by many programs. If he participated in these programs, he could earn at least millions of dollars from Nie Wei.

And Nie Wei also hoped that the old man could take more money from him. It was very grand to have a Nobel Prize winner endorse his movie. I believe that the audience and Nie Wei feel the same, so the money Nie Wei paid now will definitely be earned back ten times and a hundred times when the movie is released.

"Epic plot, epic soundtrack, epic special effects, and a group of excellent actors, and this is destined to be an epic science fiction movie!"

"There is no suspense about the best science fiction movie at the Saturn Awards next April. If it is not "Interstellar", then I will stand at the door of their award ceremony and shout out the inside story with a loudspeaker!"

"Nie Wei's style is too unpredictable. I thought he would continue the style of "Inception", but I didn't expect him to play with realistic science fiction again. But to be honest, his movies are really good, very good."

"Keanu is still so handsome, and Zhang Ziyi is still so beautiful!"

"What should I do if I am a fan of the cute little Foy?"

"Just No one is paying attention to the environmental crisis in the movie? I feel that is what the earth will encounter in the future. We humans may really perish in that way. I don't know if there will be people like Cooper, Zhang, and Murphy among us. I think it is more likely that the professor will decide to abandon us all on the earth. Well, I can't say more. Spoilers are shameful, but I hope that people who walk into the theater in a few days will face this problem. "

After the two premieres, whether in China or the United States, local media, audiences who were lucky enough to attend the premieres, and professional film critics, they kept expressing their opinions on this film, which gradually increased the popularity of this film.

Thanks to Fantasy Park and 0773 for their generous rewards.
