Chapter 156 154. Sick
"I heard you are quite famous in the mainland?" Xie Tingfeng asked, standing in front of the building.
"So-so." Holding the thermos cup, Nie Wei took a sip of tea and answered with a smile. His relaxed and indifferent attitude made Xie Tingfeng very angry.
"Then do you dare to compete?"
"Compare what?"
"I am the male lead of "Jade Guanyin" and you are the male lead of Director Du's new play. Let's compete the box office of each movie. Whoever wins will never contact Wang Fei again. Do you dare to bet?" Xie Tingfeng said proudly. In his eyes, Nie Wei is a complete rookie in the film circle and can't pose a threat to him at all.
"No bet" Xie Tingfeng said, and Nie Wei replied slowly.
"Coward."
"You are childish." Nie Wei drank the water in the teacup, and then said: "Also, you called me out alone now just to make this bet. To be honest, this is even more childish."
After saying that, Nie Wei returned to the hotel directly without paying attention to Xie Tingfeng's gloomy face. In Nie Wei's eyes, what Xie Tingfeng was doing at this moment was just wasting his time.
As soon as Nie Wei returned to the hotel lobby, Luo Kai and Luo Yuan came over with an anxious look on their faces.
"Nie Wei, what does that kid want from you? Does he want to threaten you privately? Don't worry, it's a society ruled by law now, and Hong Kong also has police..."
"Brother Kai, don't make trouble, after all, we are all public figures, and we still have to save face." Luo Kai's words made Nie Wei laugh and cry, as if Xie Tingfeng was an unforgivable villain.
"Brother, he is possessed by the god of bad luck now, how can he have the heart to threaten me? In my opinion, this guy is actually careless by nature, just too naive, like a child who has not grown up, his likes and dislikes are written on his face."
"Anyway, I am very unhappy with that kid." Luo Kai said indignantly. The recent change in Nie Wei's status in the mainland has also contributed to Luo Kai's confidence and pride, so even if he is facing a Hong Kong little king like Xie Tingfeng, he is confident enough to say that he is unhappy.
It's right to be unhappy. Nie Wei is also unhappy. At the same time, he also thinks that Xie Tingfeng is really ignorant in this matter.
You must know that this is a turbulent time for Xie Tingfeng. There was a love triangle between Feng and Fei Bo first, and then there was the "cover case". Xie Tingfeng's image in Hong Kong is plummeting. This is why Emperor Entertainment Group arranged for him to make a movie, just to let him shoot low-key and stop making trouble.
But I didn't expect that this guy would provoke me as soon as they met, and the reason was still so ridiculous.
"Let's not talk about him. We finally came to Hong Kong. Let's go shopping." Nie Wei quickly put that childish ghost behind his mind and suggested.
"Great!" Luo Yuan was the first to raise her hand in agreement, and Luo Kai certainly would not refuse.
The prosperity of Hong Kong did not confuse Nie Wei's eyes. In addition to shopping that day, Nie Wei spent the rest of the time studying the script. Three days later, Nie Wei received a message from Du Qifeng, and the preparation of the film officially entered the shooting schedule.
On the plane from Hong Kong to Taiwan, Nie Wei sat in the first class cabin, and sitting next to him was a tall girl with short hair.
She was the heroine of this movie, Liang Yongqi.
"Nie Wei, you are from Kyoto, have you ever visited the Forbidden City and the Great Wall?"
"Of course I have."
"Is the Forbidden City beautiful? And what does the Great Wall look like? Is it really long?"
"The Great Wall is indeed very long, and the Forbidden City is indeed very beautiful, but if you want to travel to Kyoto, I suggest you visit the Forbidden City in winter and the Great Wall in autumn." Facing the very curious Liang Yongqi, Nie Wei patiently gave his advice.
"Why?" Du Qifeng, who was sitting on the other side, was also curious and came over to ask.
"Yuyuantan in spring, the Summer Palace in summer, Xiangshan in autumn, and the Forbidden City in winter are the four most beautiful scenic spots in Kyoto in my mind." After summarizing, Nie Wei smiled and explained: "Yuyuantan in spring is because there are many cherry trees planted here. Every April, the cherry blossoms will bloom all over Yuyuantan. The water of the lake corresponds to the cherry blossoms, especially after the rain, the fragrance of flowers is accompanied by the fragrance of the soil. Take a breath and you will feel that the whole person from head to toe has been washed."
Nie Wei's description made Liang Yongqi's eyes shine, as if he was also standing next to Yuyuantan, admiring the cherry blossoms, breathing the air with a faint fragrance, and his soul was purified.
"What about the Summer Palace in summer?" After hearing about Yuyuantan in spring, Liang Yongqi became more curious about the following three things and asked hurriedly.
"The rockeries and pavilions in the Summer Palace are well-known, but in my opinion, the most beautiful is the lotus pond. Every June, the lotus flowers in the Summer Palace are in full bloom, just as Yang Wanli said, 'The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun', so you can enjoy a glimpse of the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River while in Kyoto."
"As for Xiangshan in autumn, the natural beauty lies in its red leaves all over the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a golden and red flame, beautiful and gorgeous. When you are in it, you can smell the faint fragrance of the maple leaves and experience the quiet beauty of this mountain."
"Then what about the Forbidden City? Why is the Forbidden City in winter the most beautiful? Aren't they all houses? Is there any difference between spring, summer, autumn and winter?" Liang Yongqi asked curiously.
"Don't worry, listen to me carefully." Nie Wei smiled and continued calmly: "The winter in the Forbidden City is actually the off-season. There are fewer tourists, and the Forbidden City rarely has a moment of tranquility. You know, this is the residence of the emperor, and it should be majestic and solemn. A heavy snow not only drives away pedestrians, but also brings tranquility to the Forbidden City, and adds a chill to the Forbidden City itself."
Speaking of this, Nie Wei's voice also became low: "The red mottled palace walls reflect the white snow, tasting the vicissitudes of history, watching the towering palace empty, reflecting the cold wind, there is a kind of bleakness."
Nie Wei's voice is low and magnetic. At this moment, he deliberately uses a tone full of vicissitudes to describe the snow scene of the Forbidden City, which immediately brings everyone present into that cold palace. Perhaps it is not the snow scene that people go to the Forbidden City to appreciate, but the loneliness and coldness.
"That's great! I want to go to Kyoto right away to see the scenery you mentioned. I really envy you for living in such a beautiful city." A woman in her thirties said to Nie Wei with envy.
"That's because the young man knows how to live. I have lived in Kyoto for almost forty years, but I have never discovered these wonderful scenery. It's just like the saying goes, there is never a lack of beauty in life, what is lacking is the eyes to discover beauty." A man in his forties spoke in Beijing dialect and sighed.
After listening to Nie Wei's words, he suddenly found that he was too tired. In fact, he would pass by Yuyuantan Park every day on his way to and from work, but he never stopped to have a good time in it. His mind was always filled with complaints about work, traffic jams, high prices, etc., but he never calmed down to appreciate the beauty of this city.
Nie Wei's introduction suddenly made him feel that he had a new understanding of this city. Perhaps after returning home from this business trip, he should really take his family to have a good time.
Du Qifeng was also fascinated by the scenery described by Nie Wei, but he appreciated Nie Wei's ability to describe the story more, which was a test of an actor's ability to express himself.
Liang Yongqi was much simpler. After listening to Nie Wei's story, she pestered Nie Wei to talk more about the mainland and not to be too curious.
Nie Wei was very patient at that time. Liang Yongqi was willing to take the initiative to communicate, which was obviously a good communication for the upcoming filming. Although there were not many rival scenes between the two, each rival scene would be very emotional, and even a considerable emotional outburst would be needed later. This was easier to do if a certain degree of familiarity was cultivated.
Nie Wei picked some interesting stories about famous attractions in Kyoto and told them to Liang Yongqi. Liang Yongqi also shared some interesting stories about the Hong Kong city. The two chatted for a full hour before they ended because of exhaustion. When Nie Wei woke up again, he was already in Taiwan.
After getting off the plane, Nie Wei suddenly found that Liang Yongqi was gone, and immediately asked Du Qifeng in confusion.
"She was picked up by a special car arranged by the airport." Du Qifeng explained simply, but Nie Wei heard the deep meaning.
So it was the special treatment of big-name artists.
"Young man, you work hard, too. I am very optimistic about you. Maybe you will become famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan after filming my movie." Du Qifeng looked at the smile on Nie Wei's lips and instantly knew that the child knew the inside story. Fearing that he would be disappointed, he encouraged him again.
"Then I will borrow the director's good words." Nie Wei did not explain and directly accepted Du Qifeng's praise.
Then Nie Wei really saw what the pomp of a big star was.
The hotel that Liang Yongqi stayed in must be a designated five-star hotel, and non-designated five-star hotels would not work. The room must also be the best room, and even the food and water must be specified. The dishes and brands, in addition to this, the shooting schedule must be more coordinated with Liang Yongqi's side. On the set, the crew also has many special treatments, and Nie Wei is too lazy to count them.
To be honest, Nie Wei, who has filmed two dramas, has never seen such a grand ceremony, but Luo Kai is not surprised.
"Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are like this, especially Hong Kong stars. Any second-tier or above stars who come to the mainland pay attention to this kind of grand ceremony. Liang Yongqi is still good. At least she is famous enough. This movie is also relying on her fame to attract box office. As a pillar of the station, she should enjoy special treatment."
"I understand." Nie Wei nodded, looking like he was being taught.
Seeing Nie Wei's rare "modest" attitude, Luo Kai couldn't help but become interested and continued: "Nie Wei, you don't have to envy. After you finish filming this movie, "Dragon Babu" will be released. At that time, you can also enjoy these treatments. If this movie sells well at the box office, it will be even better. Maybe we can cross that line in one step." At this point, Luo Kai's eyes lit up, as if he saw Nie Wei's glory when he became a first-tier star, because Nie Wei's style also represents his own glory.
Nie Wei did not comment on Luo Kai's expectations.
In this industry, people are divided into different levels by popularity, and Nie Wei has long been accustomed to it. Just like Luo Kai said, when you are popular, you will get paid.
Because Du Qifeng required that the outdoor scenes be shot in Taiwan as much as possible, Nie Wei and Liang Yongqi were actually busy with the outdoor scenes during this period.
Next to a pond, Nie Wei held a piece of bread in his hand, but he did not eat it. This was a prop he would use later. Liang Yongqi stood beside him, and the two of them accepted the assistant director's instructions together.
"That's it, try to be more serious when the shooting starts. Nie Wei needs to go into the water. The water is very cold, so try to do it once." The assistant director gave the last instruction, showing his caring attitude towards Nie Wei.
In fact, during the past ten days of filming, many people on the crew fell in love with this big boy.
Serious, responsible, talented, and very caring about people. For example, Nie Wei would buy a lot of late-night snacks for everyone to eat when the crew was rushing to watch the night show every night. The food was not expensive, but it was the thoughtfulness that mattered. The cold wind could Eating a bowl of hot oden is also a pleasure.
If you put in the effort, you will be rewarded. Just like the assistant director's blessing now, isn't it the result of Nie Wei's performance in the past ten days?
Shooting started soon.
The main plot of this scene is that Cai Jiayi, played by Liang Yongqi, was so careless that the manuscript he translated was blown into the pool. As a result, he was discovered by Liu Zhikang, played by Nie Wei. The kind-hearted Liu Zhikang saw the manuscript in the pool with a look on his face. Anxious, Cai Jiayi kindly walked into the water to help Cai Jiayi fish out the manuscript.
Although the winter in Taipei is not too cold, the weather is more than ten degrees and the water temperature is not much higher. Nie Wei was doing warm-up exercises on the side, and Luo Yuan and Luo Kai were also holding blankets and heat bottles, ready to go at any time. Life.
"Three, two, one, start shooting!" Following Du Qifeng's order, the movie started shooting.
Under the camera, Liang Yongqi looked panicked, while Nie Wei on the side first showed an unbearable expression, then rolled up his trouser legs and stepped into the pool.
The moment Nie Wei's feet touched the water, Nie Wei felt that the pores all over his body were dilated because the water was really cold. Although his body responded, Nie Wei's expression did not change much. She stepped into the water very naturally, then bent down and helped Liang Yongqi pick up the pages of paper.
"CUT!" Du Qifeng shouted to stop within a few seconds of filming this scene.
"Liang Yongqi, your performance is too exaggerated. Do you have to dance around even if you are in a panic? Remember, it is panic. Imagine how you feel when you are rushing to the set and have to settle accounts, all over again."
When Du Qifeng was talking, Nie Wei had already come out of the pool. Luo Kai on the side quickly handed over the blanket, and Luo Yuan also offered warm babies. However, when Du Qifeng said to take pictures again, Nie Wei threw them away without hesitation. Went into the cold pool again.
Perhaps because God wanted Nie Wei to have his way too well, this scene took more than ten takes to complete, and Nie Wei also soaked in the pool for half an hour.
As a result, Nie Wei discovered that she had a fever early the next morning...
