Chapter 155 153. Extremely embarrassing
Looking at the group of people walking in from the hotel entrance, Xie Tingfeng's eyes suddenly lit up, because he recognized at first glance that the person walking in the middle of the group was Xu Anhua, the director of "Jade Guanyin".
God is helping me, Xie Tingfeng thought to himself, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Nie Wei who was still sitting beside him and reading the script, his eyes full of teasing.
Huo Wenxi obviously also noticed Xu Anhua's arrival, and immediately stood up and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Hello, Director Xu."
"Hello Mani, Tingfeng, long time no see." Xu Anhua smiled when she saw Huo Wenxi and Xie Tingfeng.
This time, the movie was able to invite this little king of Hong Kong, and Xu Anhua was also happy from the bottom of her heart. After all, his popularity is there, not to mention that the heroine of the movie is Zhao Wei, a popular little queen in the mainland. The combination of the two may really bring a box office miracle, so she was in a very good mood when she saw Xie Tingfeng at this moment.
"Director Xu, hello, I'm very happy to be able to participate in your movie this time." Xie Tingfeng said enthusiastically at this moment, and Huo Wenxi nodded with satisfaction. The only thing that was a little dissatisfied was that this guy's voice was much higher than usual, and it always sounded a little awkward.
In fact, it was not only Huo Wenxi who felt awkward, but Xu Anhua also frowned. Although he was very optimistic about the popular little king in front of him and had indeed decided on him, it was not appropriate to say it openly in public.
"Haha, do your best in the interview later. I am very optimistic about you." Xu Anhua answered ambiguously, but he was no longer as enthusiastic as before, and seemed a little perfunctory.
Huo Wenxi noticed something was wrong when he saw Xu Anhua's face change slightly. Thinking of what Xie Tingfeng said just now, he also came to his senses and knew that the words were too explicit and made the director unhappy.
"Director Xu, there is still some time before the interview. Do you want to go to the hotel's coffee shop? Their Blue Mountain is of high quality." Huo Wenxi immediately changed the subject. Director Xu Anhua still had to give some face to this beautiful agent of Emperor Entertainment Group. Just when he nodded to agree, Xie Tingfeng on the side spoke again.
"Director Xu, this hotel has self-service coffee. You can try my craftsmanship. If you are satisfied, I can make it for you every day in the crew in the future." Xie Tingfeng said politely.
If a little girl saw this look, she would probably have red hearts for Xie Tingfeng. Under normal circumstances, if Xie Tingfeng could say this, Huo Wenxi and Xu Anhua would also be overjoyed. However, after an unpleasant experience before, Xu Anhua frowned even deeper when he heard this.
What happened to this guy? Why does he seem to be desperately trying to let others know that he has been selected? Is this little king really stupid? Looking at Xie Tingfeng, Xu Anhua thought to himself.
Huo Wenxi, who was standing by, secretly pinched Xie Tingfeng's back hard, causing Xie Tingfeng's eyebrows to twist into a ball. Huo Wenxi really didn't save any strength. This guy's performance today was too abnormal.
Suddenly, Huo Wenxi found that Xie Tingfeng's eyes glanced to the side, and he looked over. Suddenly, he realized that the relationship was because of Nie Wei.
"You should choose a good place to be jealous!" Huo Wenxi thought in his heart with a smile. When will this child's childish and impulsive problems be corrected?
I don't know when it will be corrected, but at least at this moment Xie Tingfeng was very proud of his "quick wit".
However, the only thing that made him a little dissatisfied was that Nie Wei, who was sitting on the side, was still holding a script and reading it non-stop as if nothing had happened. Did he want the director to see your efforts? Was he thinking too much? Or was he so angry that he was ready to give up, which would make it less fun?
Just when Xie Tingfeng was imagining Nie Wei's mood at the moment, Nie Wei, who was reading the script, finally looked up.
"Here I come!" Xie Tingfeng suddenly felt excited. Did the other party finally couldn't hold back?
Nie Wei smiled, which Xie Tingfeng thought was pretending to be calm. He stood up with the script, which Xie Tingfeng thought was bluffing. When Nie Wei got closer and closer, Xie Tingfeng thought he was already struggling to death. When he was about to make another sarcastic remark, Xie Tingfeng suddenly froze.
Because Nie Wei actually walked past him.
How is this possible? Can't he see that Director Xu Anhua is in front of him? At this moment, Xie Tingfeng suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The reason why Nie Wei stood up was entirely because Luo Yuan reminded her that Luo Kai had brought Director Du Qifeng into the hotel.
"Director, hello, I'm Nie Wei." Nie Wei politely greeted him with a slight bow.
Hearing Nie Wei's voice, Xie Tingfeng looked over subconsciously and saw Nie Wei talking to a cool-looking middle-aged man not far from him. He also knew that man, Du Qifeng, a famous director in Hong Kong.
"How did they get together? Could it be..." Thinking of a possibility, Xie Tingfeng widened his eyes and his face became hot.
Because he found that there was a high probability that he had misunderstood something, so who did he perform the scene just now for? What image would he have in the eyes of the other party?
Xie Tingfeng felt that his mind was in a mess for a while, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
There was definitely no drilling left. He looked at Nie Wei angrily. Before he could adjust his mood, Director Xu Anhua from their side had already walked over, and even Huo Wenxi followed. This scene made Xie Tingfeng's eyes almost spit fire. How come Nie Wei became the focus in the blink of an eye?
Xie Tingfeng, who was feeling lost, suddenly felt his arm being pulled. He looked up and saw that it was Huo Wenxi who was reminding him. After all, all these people had gone, and he was the only one standing there, showing his uniqueness?
However, Huo Wenxi's pull made Xie Tingfeng feel warm in his heart. At least at this moment, not everyone ignored him, and there was also the agent in front of him who cared about him. Xie Tingfeng thought, should he cause less trouble to the agent in the future to make him feel at ease?
"Sister Xu, why are you here too?" Du Qifeng, who was greeting Nie Wei, was also stunned when he saw Xu Anhua appear.
"I see you, don't you? You're here for an interview, too? Is this the actor you chose? The young man is very energetic." Xu Anhua smiled and greeted him, and then noticed Nie Wei standing beside him. With a height of 1.86 meters, it was impossible not to notice him. After all, Nie Wei really stood out among the crowd.
"Hello, Director Xu, my name is Nie Wei, and I'm an actor from the mainland." Facing Xu Anhua, Nie Wei introduced himself politely without being humble.
"Nie Wei? Ah, I remember, didn't I send you an interview for my new play? Why didn't you come, but went to Afeng instead?" Xu Anhua pretended to complain. In fact, she didn't take Nie Wei seriously at all, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to recognize who Nie Wei was when they met.
"Director Xu, you misunderstood me. You are a great director who has won three Golden Image Awards. How could I ignore you? Besides, Sister Wei has participated in your movie, so I won't get involved." Nie Wei replied with a smile.
Xu Anhua was stunned by this sentence, but then he realized what was going on and smiled, "What a smart kid, he will definitely have a bright future."
Xu Anhua's compliment sounded quite meaningful to Nie Wei. He had just mentioned Zhao Wei and the Academy Awards, which was actually a hidden message to Xu Anhua, saying that since you have already confirmed that the male lead will be from Hong Kong, why bother to bring in a little actor like me to boost your profile? Xu Anhua obviously understood what Nie Wei meant, so he used the word "smart" to comment on Nie Wei.
But when Xu Anhua's words were heard by Xie Tingfeng, he thought it was Xu Anhua's praise for Nie Wei, who didn't understand the twists and turns at all. He simply thought that this was Xu Anhua's praise for Nie Wei, which instantly made him feel jealous. He hadn't been praised like this before, so why did this irrelevant Nie Wei receive such praise? Xie Tingfeng felt quite unwilling.
As if she noticed that Xie Tingfeng's face was not right, Huo Wenxi, who had already heard the deep meaning, immediately helped to explain it. However, she did not expect Xie Tingfeng's reaction after her explanation.
"You mean, if Nie Wei is an actor from Hong Kong, then I may not be able to get this role, right?" Xie Tingfeng said angrily. Fortunately, he knew to keep his voice down. If he shouted it out, I'm afraid Xu Anhua would have to consider whether to change the male lead.
Huo Wenxi held her forehead and sighed. She found that she really had no common language with this guy for a while. This guy was completely jealous and lost his reason.
What made Huo Wenxi more worried was whether Xie Tingfeng could perform well in this state? Although the quota has been determined, if Xu Anhua did not leave a good impression, then he might not have a good result during the filming process.
You know, as Nie Wei said, Xu Anhua is a big director who has won the Golden Image Award three times, and he will not indulge Xie Tingfeng's many bad habits like a small director.
Before they knew it, the conversation between the two sides had ended. Nie Wei collected the script and followed Du Qifeng to a meeting room on the third floor, which had been booked by Du Qifeng for today's interview.
Xie Tingfeng also followed Xu Anhua to a meeting room on the fourth floor. His purpose was the same as Du Qifeng's group, but Director Xu Anhua's task was heavier. He also sent invitations to many new generation actors like Nie Wei. After all, some people would come because they didn't understand. For this reason, she even arranged two reporters to build momentum for the new film.
It must be said that this female director was determined to incorporate a hint of commercial atmosphere into the literary film, so she was very dedicated to all aspects of the film.
Not to mention the interview scene that Xu Anhua spent a lot of effort on, Nie Wei's interview was much more bland.
There was no media interview, and the interviewer was only Du Qifeng. The other party brought a secretary and secretly asked Nie Wei for an autograph after entering the door. The whole scene was not very lively or serious. To describe it in one word, it was "relaxed".
After entering the meeting room, Du Qifeng did not act like an examiner, but let Nie Wei sit next to him.
"Is this your first time in Hong Kong? Are you used to the food here?" Du Qifeng asked with a smile.
"Yes, I am not picky about food."
"That's great. People who make movies should have a good appetite and eat wherever they go." The opening remarks of the two people were full of the breath of life. Du Qifeng mainly asked about Nie Wei's rest and eating habits in Hong Kong, but it had nothing to do with movies.
After learning that Nie Wei did not feel uncomfortable in a different place, Du Qifeng turned the topic to the right track.
"What do you think of this movie?" This was the first time Nie Wei heard Du Qifeng ask about movies after sitting in this conference room for ten minutes.
"I have never made a movie. If you look at it from the perspective of a TV series, this is an urban love idol drama." Nie Wei said it very bluntly, but this answer made Du Qifeng feel relieved. At least Nie Wei was not blinded by the name of the movie and was still very clear about the foundation of this movie.
"You are right, but there are still differences between movies and TV series. Movies are not as long as TV series, so the plots are condensed, the emotional progress of the characters is also very fast, and the acting skills required of the actors are also different. Are you confident?"
"Of course, otherwise I would not be here." Nie Wei answered confidently, and asked back: "Director, don't you need an interview?"
"I have watched your TV series and have a certain understanding of your acting skills. To be honest, this movie should not be too difficult for you. Of course, if you want to show it, I don't mind." Du Qifeng said with a smile.
"Then I'll show it." Nie Wei was not polite. What's wrong with doing something that can improve his impression points in the director's mind?
"I will play the role of the male lead Liu Zhikang playing the violin to the pigeons." Nie Wei said, then pulled a chair and walked to the open space at the front desk.
Sitting on the chair, Nie Wei closed his eyes and imagined the scene. After the construction was completed, he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were no longer sunny, and there was a hint of melancholy in his loneliness. Du Qifeng was already happy when he saw this scene. This is into the play.
In the next scene, Nie Wei posed as if he was playing the violin. He imagined this music score in his mind, and his hands kept moving, as if he was really playing an invisible violin. Du Qifeng, who was watching Nie Wei's performance without a physical object, was obviously quite satisfied, but he was more curious about another thing at the moment.
"Nie Wei, stop for a moment. You have studied music, right? Do you know how to play the violin? You look good."
"I didn't know how to play before, but I learned a little recently." Nie Wei answered honestly.
"Well, this is a good segment. Remember to show me the real thing next time." Du Qifeng was quite satisfied with Nie Wei's answer. At least it proved that Nie Wei did work hard after receiving the role. Directors like a talented and hardworking actor.
This segment was not long, and Nie Wei finished it quickly. From entering the state to the end, Du Qifeng kept nodding and approving. This five-minute performance also made him more sure of Nie Wei.
"I think we can enter the contract negotiation process. How about tomorrow?"
"Of course." Du Qifeng's words undoubtedly affirmed Nie Wei. As a newcomer in the film industry, Nie Wei's contract would not be too high, and it would not be a big obstacle for Du Qifeng. Obviously, Nie Wei also knew it in his heart.
After the interview, Du Qifeng had something to do and left. Nie Wei and Luo Kai sent him to the door.
"Go back. I'll have my secretary fax you a detailed script. You should read it carefully. The filming will start soon."
"I know, director." Nie Wei answered seriously. This was the director's order, and he couldn't just do it casually.
Looking at Du Qifeng's car slowly driving away from the hotel, Luo Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nie Wei, great, we got the role!" Luo Kai said excitedly. Luo Yuan beside him also seemed very excited. She kept asking Nie Wei: "I heard that the heroine is Liang Yongqi. Nie Wei, please help me and get me an autographed photo. I like her very much."
"As your BOSS, shouldn't you admire me?" Nie Wei was in a good mood because he had already got the role 99% of the time. He also liked to joke with Luo Yuan.
"My first idol is BOSS, but I also have second, third, fourth..."
"You are so philanthropic, are you worthy of me? I think I should think carefully about your year-end bonus."
Nie Wei and his companions walked to the elevator entrance with laughter, ready to go back to their rooms to rest, but when the elevator opened, Nie Wei and the people in the elevator were all stunned.
