Chapter 87 86. Premiere (Part 1)
On the day of the premiere of "The Story of a Noble Family", Nie Wei did not stay at home to watch TV with his two elders, but at the invitation of Li Dawei, he and the crew in Kyoto found a hot pot restaurant for dinner.
The reason for the dinner was that everyone had not seen each other for a long time, and they gathered together to have fun during the premiere. However, in Nie Wei's opinion, it was more because Director Li wanted to find a sense of security.
Just five days before the premiere of "The Story of a Noble Family", "My Fair Princess Part 3" also arrived as scheduled.
There was no Zhao Wei, no Ruby Lin, and no Fifth Prince, but it was such a work with more than half of the actors replaced. As long as it was named "My Fair Princess", it took only five days to top the ratings list of the week. Facing such an opponent, even if Li Dawei was confident in his "The Story of a Noble Family", he could not help but feel uncertain.
So on the day of the premiere, he specially called everyone over, just to get together to cheer each other up and seek psychological comfort.
That night, Nie Wei arrived at the hotel on time. After opening the door of the private room, he found that Shu Chang, Qiao Zhenyu, Huang Bo and others were all present, as well as several actors from the same crew. Nie Wei looked familiar and could call out their names in the play, but he couldn't remember their real names very clearly.
"Brother, sit here." Seeing Nie Wei coming, Shu Chang immediately waved and took the coat on the chair next to him and hung it behind him. Obviously, this was the seat the girl had reserved for Nie Wei.
Nie Wei was not polite and sat directly next to Shu Chang, greeted several people present, and asked casually: "Where is Director Li?"
"He went out to smoke a cigarette." Huang Bo answered.
"You didn't see what Director Li looked like. He has lost weight, his eye bags are so big, and his dark circles are so deep, like a panda." Qiao Zhenyu also interrupted, causing everyone in the private room to laugh.
Nie Wei also smiled, but his smile was not relaxed. As the leading actor of this TV series, he actually bears no less pressure than Li Dawei.
The performance of the TV series, his acting skills, the charm of the role he interprets, etc. all need to be considered by the audience. The burden of ratings is not borne by Li Dawei alone, including himself and Dong Jie. It can be said that this is a responsibility that the director and the leading actor need to bear together.
Nie Wei looked at the time. There are still fifteen minutes before the TV series starts. If he is idle, he might as well find something to do.
"How about we bet on the ratings of the first show?" Nie Wei suggested: "How about betting 100 yuan each, and give it to the person who guessed the closest, and then let him treat us at the next dinner."
"If we go to a five-star hotel for the next dinner, the winner will lose a lot." Huang Bo laughed and complained, then took the lead in bidding 100 yuan, saying: "I bet 10, just for the two songs "An Xiang" and "Gone with the Wind", but 10 is not worthy of the audience's ears."
"You really know how to flatter yourself." Qiao Zhenyu complained about Huang Bo and also took out 100 yuan: "I bet 3, I think our TV series is well made, but the cast is a bit new, so it may not be too high at the beginning..."
Qiao Zhenyu wanted to continue his analysis, but was interrupted by Shu Chang.
"Can you say something to make yourself proud?" Shu Chang said dissatisfiedly, which immediately attracted the approval of many people present. Although everyone felt that Qiao Zhenyu's analysis made sense, it was better to lose the battle than the people at this time. Why did they all guess too high?
After everyone criticized Qiao Zhenyu for a while, Nie Wei and Shu Chang discussed and also took action.
"My sister and I unanimously decided to go for 5.2." Nie Wei took out two hundred yuan and pulled Shu Chang to report a number.
"Why 5.2?" Someone immediately asked in confusion.
"Isn't the latest ratings of Huanzhu III 5.1? Let's try to surpass them in one step." The reason given by Nie Wei won a lot of applause, and Shu Chang also shook the number written with 5.2 in front of Qiao Zhenyu provocatively.
Just as everyone took out money and reported their ideal ratings numbers, the door of the box was pushed open again, and then Li Dawei walked in with a smell of cigarettes.
Nie Wei looked at the director who hadn't seen him for more than half a month. He had dark circles and big bags under his eyes. He was thinner. Qiao Zhenyu's description was really right.
"What are you playing? You look so happy. I can hear you laughing from far away." Li Dawei returned to his seat, greeted Nie Wei next to him, and then asked.
"Nie Wei asked everyone to bet on the ratings of our first broadcast." Huang Bo explained.
Hearing this, Li Dawei also became interested.
"How do you play?"
"Just guess a number, and then everyone pays 100 yuan. Whoever is closest to the number wins, and the money belongs to him. But the winner will treat the dinner next time."
"Then I'll guess a number too." After understanding the rules, Li Dawei also took out 100 yuan and slapped it on the table: "I guess 6, six sixes are auspicious, I hope the ratings of our TV series can also be smooth from beginning to end."
"Director Li, 6, remember it." Nie Wei took Li Dawei's 100 yuan, and then wrote his name on the small notebook, and the number behind it was also written as 6.
"Show it to me, everyone guess how much." After Nie Wei finished writing, Li Dawei also became interested in the small notebook in his hand and wanted to come over to take a look.
But soon Li Dawei's eyes turned to Qiao Zhenyu who was standing beside him, because he guessed the smallest number here.
"Can I change the number?" Qiao Zhenyu smiled bitterly, and felt that the number he just reported was a bit disappointing.
"No need to change." Li Dawei glanced at Qiao Zhenyu unhappily. It was too late to change now. This kid remembered it himself.
Facing Li Dawei's unfriendly eyes, Qiao Zhenyu's psychological pressure can be imagined. Fortunately, it was time for the TV series to be broadcast, and everyone's attention was shifted to the TV screen in the box.
"When the petals leave the flowers, the fragrance remains..."
Huang Bo opened the door of this TV series with a sad voice. After a simple background introduction at the beginning, the TV series officially entered the plot.
Accompanied by the slow music, the gate of Jin Mansion also appeared in front of everyone. This was filmed at Tianjin University of Foreign Languages. Nie Wei still remembered that the weather was very cold that day, but watching this picture from the TV series at this time was a different feeling.
It seemed that the place where he had been had become another world, very wonderful and interesting.
Nie Wei's thoughts were quickly pulled back by the laughter of the two girls. The protagonists on the screen had become two girls, Yingying and Yanyan, running in the snow, throwing snowflakes at each other, having a lot of fun.
Just as the two girls were having fun, a hand holding a very old camera appeared on the screen. Seeing this moment, Nie Wei couldn't help but sit up straight, because he knew that the next scene would be the moment when he officially appeared.
