Chapter 213 211. Understanding the situation
Su Qing was stunned when her name was called. She didn't expect to hear her son's name in the meeting room of the Palace Museum, so she didn't react for a while.
Seeing Su Qing, who was a little dazed, the director thought she was in trouble, so he didn't urge her, just waiting for the meeting to end and talk to her.
Half an hour later, the meeting was over, and Su Qing was indeed kept by the director.
"Expert Su, I know that my request is a bit sudden for you, but I have no choice. We really worked hard on this promotional video, and the result is also very good, but we are not satisfied with the music. Finally, someone recommended Mr. Nie to me, but there was a little obstacle in the communication process, so I troubled you to try to help." The director explained with a smile, but no one knew the depression in his heart.
The little obstacle he mentioned was completely beautified. You should know that Huayi directly declined the invitation sent to them. Although the reply was very nice, the meaning was also very clear. Our Nie Wei is very busy, don't come to make trouble.
Thinking of this, the director couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The Palace Museum sounds famous, after all, it was once the imperial city, but in fact it can only manage its own little piece of land, just like this time when Huayi invited it to compose music, the other party didn't give it any face.
Of course, Huayi also had another main reason for rejection, that is, the price offered by the Palace Museum was too low, and it didn't match Nie Wei's current worth at all.
But in terms of price, even if he gave in, the director knew that it was still far from the price of Nie Wei in the industry. Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly heard someone under his command say that Nie Wei's mother was a restoration expert in the Palace Museum, which immediately rekindled the fire of hope in the director's heart.
So there was a scene today where Su Qing was specifically named in the meeting.
The director said it sincerely, but Su Qing was still a little surprised in her heart. She really didn't expect that the Palace Museum would specifically find her own child to shoot a promotional video.
"Director, I'm not shirking responsibility, but can our Nie Wei really do this job?" Su Qing asked with a hint of doubt. After all, although she knew that Nie Wei had written several good songs, it had only been about two years since he became famous.
"Expert Su, this is just your modesty." The director knew there was a chance when he saw Su Qing's attitude, and he became more enthusiastic. He even enthusiastically helped to popularize Nie Wei's current status in the music circle. Of course, these were all what he heard from his subordinates.
"The song "Meeting" for the movie "Turn Left, Turn Right" that was just off the air was created by your son. I heard that the music circle has a very high evaluation. Many people even predict that the best soundtrack for several major awards in the future is this song. Do you think your son can succeed?"
"Besides, he is not a member of the system, and this invitation is not a task. It is just a matter of mutual consent. I just want to ask Mr. Nie for a favor. As long as the work can come out, it doesn't matter whether it succeeds in the end." The director said.
Su Qing listened and thought it was right.
Your son is not an employee of the Palace Museum. Even if you are not satisfied with the works he brings out, at most he will just refuse to cooperate. The less you lose, what if he really succeeds? Su Qing is also happy to see it happen. After all, she is half a member of the Palace Museum and has a lot of feelings for this place.
"Then don't worry, Director. I'll go home and ask my son first, and then I'll give you an answer. How about that?" Su Qing said this, undoubtedly tacitly agreeing to help. When the director heard it, he smiled.
"With your help, this will definitely be done. I'm waiting to hear your good news."
The director's words obviously made Su Qing very happy, but Su Qing did not pat her chest to guarantee anything on the spot. Everything had to be asked after she went home and asked her son.
When Su Qing got home, she saw her family of three cleaning the dining table.
"Qing'er, aren't you in a meeting today? Why are you back so early?" Zhou Aiguo greeted Su Qing warmly as soon as he saw her coming home. He helped her carry her bag and asked her concernedly, "Have you eaten? Today we cooked Northeastern dishes. If you don't like them, I'll go out and buy you something else."
"Old Zhou, don't bother me. I'll just clean up the leftovers." The Palace Museum provided dinner, but Su Qing obviously didn't want to eat a box lunch there, and now she was still hungry.
"Okay, I'll heat it up for you." Old Zhou ran to the kitchen, as if he was afraid that Su Qing would be hungry.
Nie Wei watched the old couple show their affection and was so excited that he wanted to call his own baby Shu Chang to tell her his feelings. Of course, Nie Wei also saw deeply how much Old Zhou loved his mother.
"Duoduo, go watch TV first. I'll talk to your brother about something." Zhou Aiguo went to heat up the food, and Zhou Duoduo came over to join in the fun. However, before she could act like a spoiled child with Su Qing, she was chased to the TV by Su Qing.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Nie Wei also heard Su Qing's words and immediately asked in confusion.
"Nie Wei, tell me, are you really good at music composition?" After the mother and daughter sat down on the sofa, Su Qing immediately took Nie Wei's hand to confirm.
Nie Wei was stunned, curious about why his mother suddenly asked about his music composition.
"It's hard to say. There is a mountain as high as a mountain. Mom, you should understand." Nie Wei gave an ambiguous answer, but actually she was quite confident inside. After all, even if she wasn't good enough, there are always so many excellent soundtracks in her head. A good one.
"But Mom, why are you asking me about the soundtrack?" Nie Wei asked curiously.
"This is not Director Liu of the Palace Museum coming to me and asking if I can let you provide the soundtrack for their new promotional documentary "The Forbidden City."" Su Qing explained.
"Forbidden City? They asked me to score music. Why don't you contact my company directly?" Nie Wei smiled, wondering what the leaders of the Palace Museum do, but they are so unfaithful when it comes to scoring music.
But Su Qing soon gave him an answer that was clear to him.
"Your company won't agree." After explaining, Su Qing was also happy. When she thought of saying this, Director Liu's depressed expression flashed across her face, and she said with a hint of pride: "My son is now a famous figure. , the director asked me for help.”
"I'm still far away." Nie Wei said modestly, and then took out her mobile phone: "Mom, please wait while I ask the company. I really don't know about this matter."
"Just ask, don't be embarrassed, forget it if it doesn't work." Su Qing obviously didn't want to cause trouble to Nie Wei, and there was always a sense of evasion in her words, but if her mother could help with the conversation, how could Nie Wei turn a blind eye.
A phone call was made to Luo Kai, and the other party answered the phone without ringing twice, as if he had been waiting for Nie Wei to call.
"Luo Kai, let me ask you something. The Palace Museum shot a promotional documentary and asked me to score it. Did you know?"
"Uh..." Luo Kai was stunned. Apparently he didn't know much about this matter. He quickly replied: "I don't know. Are you in a hurry? How about I ask the business department?"
"Well, you can go and ask, but if you get any results, you'll call me back later." After hanging up the phone, Nie Wei looked at her mother aside and said, "Luo Kai asked for help, and the answer will be available soon."
The couple just sat on the sofa waiting for the call. Taking this opportunity, Su Qing also learned more about Nie Wei's achievements in the entertainment industry.
"The box office is over 10 million. My son is really amazing."
"What!? Your blog has the most followers on the Internet? That's great. By the way, don't you also write a book? How are the results?"
"Top three in sales? That's great. Mom is proud of you."
Listening to her son's achievements in the entertainment industry, Su Qing's face was already full of smiles, and she said with emotion: "It was probably the best decision my mother made not to stop you from entering this industry."
"That's it. If you don't have an enlightened mother, how can I have the achievements I have now? Mom, give me a kiss." Nie Wei hugged Su Qing and kissed her hard on the cheek, which made Su Qing extremely happy.
It happened that Zhou Aiguo walked in with the dishes at this time, and when he saw Nie Wei's passionate kiss, he smiled and said, "You kid took advantage of my wife behind my back."
"Please, this is my mother, and from a blood perspective, we are definitely closer than you." In terms of competing for Su Qing's love, Nie Wei never showed any weakness when facing Zhou Aiguo.
"I can't help but stop pestering my wife. Let her come and have some food. She must be starving." Zhou Aiguo put the dishes on the table and urged Su Qing to eat with a smile.
Just when Amelia Su was about to put the meal on the table, Nie Wei's phone rang.
"Mom, you eat first, and I'll just check in on the situation." Looking at Su Qing looking over, Nie Wei said, and at the same time walked out with his cell phone, so as not to delay his mother's eating.
"What's going on?" Zhou Aiguo didn't know what happened because of the hot food.
"The Forbidden City has shot a promotional video, and we asked our Nie Wei to score it." Su Qing replied with a hint of pride, while not forgetting to comment on Lao Zhou's craftsmanship: "This harvest stew is good, it's the pot dumplings. The meat is a bit tough.”
"Maybe it's been a long time. When we ate it, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. How about I make you another portion?" Zhou Aiguo didn't listen to Su Qing's explanation at all. Su Qing's comments about the pot dumplings were echoing in his mind. I was not satisfied with the review, so I immediately wanted to make a new one, but luckily Su Qing stopped me.
"Stop it and have dinner with me."
"Okay, okay, I suddenly felt like I wasn't full just now. I'll fill up another half bowl of rice."
While Zhou Aiguo was busy showing off his affection with Su Qing, Nie Wei, who was answering the phone outside, finally had a general understanding of the situation.
"So the other party really invited me, but he just declined because of the price?"
"Not only that, didn't you ask for leave after filming "Kekexili" and say you wanted to rest for a while? Wang Zhonglei also ordered this, so the business department's judgment on this invitation is to refuse. After all, one is worthless, and the other is to let you Involved." Luo Kai added.
Hearing these reasons, Nie Wei also felt dumbfounded.
