Chapter 217 215. Forbidden City Tour
Looking at Wang Jinghua, who was sitting opposite him with a fierce look on her face and was clearly ready to call for an accusation, Wang Zhonglei felt a severe headache.
At first, he only thought of that move that could promote the conflict between Nie Wei and the person opposite him, but he forgot that the "Sister Hua" sitting opposite him had another well-known attribute in the circle, that is, she was super protective of her children.
In this film, seeing that the role of her own artist was taken away, Sister Hua immediately went crazy, and this scene happened today.
"Boss Wang, you are so unkind. You can change the role at will. Is there any rule in this company?" Wang Jinghua sat on the sofa, staring at Wang Zhonglei with a bad face, and said in a dissatisfied tone.
"It's about spending money. The crew naturally has their own considerations about the role. The key to choosing an actor is to look at the director. Whoever the director thinks is good, let him play. Nie Wei's popularity has been rising recently, so there is nothing wrong with choosing him." Wang Zhonglei answered Wang Jinghua's question in a roundabout way, and pushed most of the questions to the crew. He didn't believe that Wang Jinghua really dared to take Zhang Hanyu to fight against Feng Xiaogang. You know, Director Feng is also known as Feng Cannon in the circle.
After listening to Wang Zhonglei's unreliable explanation, Wang Jinghua wanted to pick up the teacup in front of her and throw it directly on his face, smashing it hard, smashing it hard, and not seeing blood would not make her feel relieved.
The crew's decision? Wang Jinghua's face showed a trace of disdain. If you, Wang Zhonglei, hadn't intervened in this matter, how could their own artists suddenly have their roles changed?
You know, Feng Xiaogang exaggerated Hanyu's unique temperament and good acting skills a while ago. Something that was already nine out of ten confirmed suddenly fell through. It's not justifiable to say that it was just a sudden decision to change within the crew.
"So what you mean is that this matter was decided by the crew, and the company didn't know anything about it?" Wang Jinghua held back her temper and asked directly, the question went straight to the core.
Wang Zhonglei was obviously defeated.
This matter was done by him, how could he not know about it! ?
"I really don't know, how about I call Director Xiaogang and we can talk about it?" Wang Zhonglei replied calmly, and it was completely impossible to tell that he was talking nonsense.
But Wang Jinghua knew very well that the guy on the other side was just talking nonsense.
However, if Feng Xiaogang really came, no matter what the final result would be, she would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage. Besides, everyone in the company knew that the Wang brothers and Feng Xiaogang were in the same boat, so Wang Jinghua knew very well that even if Feng Xiaogang was found here, if he was matched, it would be exactly the same as what Wang Zhonglei described.
This resource is definitely not available for recapture. In fact, Wang Jinghua knew it before she came to this office.
But things can't just end like this.
"Boss Wang, even if the crew decided to replace him, we can't let our company's artists feel disappointed, right? Hanyu has put so much thought into this movie, and now he is replaced, so you have to give an explanation, right? Even if he can't act in this movie, he can be assigned a different role, right?" Wang Jinghua suddenly showed a weak attitude, which was to retreat in order to advance, forcing Wang Zhonglei to make up for this resource.
And the word "disappointed" in her words was really heartbreaking. Wang Zhonglei believed that if he didn't agree to this today, the whole company would say that his boss was unkind tomorrow.
But Wang Zhonglei felt a little unwilling to give Wang Jinghua's resources for nothing.
"Sister Hua, Zhang Hanyu should be compensated. I also know that he is a very hardworking actor. Let's do this. We will seize the time to help collect scripts and see if there are any good roles. As long as there is news, I will notify you immediately." Wang Zhonglei replied with a smile.
Old fox! After hearing what Wang Zhonglei said, Wang Jinghua complained in her heart.
This guy's words sounded nice, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the other party did not promise anything at all. He used the word "delay" to perfection. What does it mean to notify me as soon as there is news? Wang Jinghua felt that she might not be able to wait for this news even during the Chinese New Year.
At this moment, Wang Jinghua's weakness was undoubtedly revealed. Although there were more artists gathered around her, in fact, most of the company's resources were still in the hands of Wang Zhonglei. The other party did not dare to make any moves on big-name artists, but for artists like Zhang Hanyu who were neither good nor bad, the other party still had ideas.
Wang Jinghua wanted to protect, but what she could protect was also very limited. Maybe she could use the big names under her to put pressure, but this kind of thing could be done once or twice, but if it was used all the time, it would undoubtedly lose its deterrent effect.
And this time, it was obviously not worth it.
After walking out of Wang Zhonglei's office, Wang Jinghua had a gloomy face and her palms were sweating. Huayi had made her feel increasingly unhappy. After a period of "sweetness" with the Wang brothers, instead of making this strong woman feel more cooperative, her desire for power grew stronger and stronger.
After all, for the ambitious Wang Jinghua, Wang Zhonglei's desire to control her and her artists was something she hated from the bottom of her heart.
Thinking about the contact from a mysterious investor a while ago, Wang Jinghua suddenly felt a little moved.
Director Liu was efficient and quickly contacted the production team of the promotional video, but the other party was in the United States at the time and it would take two days to get to China. Knowing that they had to wait for two days, Nie Wei took the lead in asking if they could go to the Forbidden City to take a look first.
Director Liu naturally agreed to this.
In fact, if it was just normal time, Nie Wei would not need to bother Director Liu, but the time period that Nie Wei wanted to visit most was during non-business hours, which required the nod of Director Liu, one of the persons in charge of the Palace Museum.
Soon, Director Liu handed Nie Wei this ID card, which is only available to employees within the Palace Museum. With this ID, Nie Wei can enter and leave the Forbidden City at will at any time. Of course, some venues with cultural relics still need to be accompanied by someone. Only then can it be done.
Before dawn the next day, Nie Wei came to the entrance of the Forbidden City fully armed with a high-definition video recorder borrowed from the company and his own precious camera.
"Brother, help open the door." Nie Wei handed the ID to the guard and said.
"It's so early." The yawning guard looked at his ID, and there was no surprise on his face. It was obvious that he had already greeted him.
But it might be the first time he met a big star. He looked at Nie Wei furtively for a while before returning the ID to Nie Wei.
"I'm sorry for disturbing your rest." After getting the pass back, Nie Weiwei apologized and waited for the guard to open the door for him.
"It's nothing. How can a doorman sleep until dawn? This happens all the time." The doorman said habitually, and then looked at Nie Wei with some excitement: "Brother, I am your fan, what do you do? I have all those songs in my MP3, and I often listen to them when I’m free at night. By the way, I heard that you’re here to provide the soundtrack for our Palace Museum promotional video this time. I’m sure it’ll be good.”
"Well, I came to visit the Forbidden City to see if I can find some inspiration." Nie Wei replied with a smile.
"Except for a few cultural relics exhibition halls, feel free to look around in other places. Just don't throw rubbish everywhere or destroy cultural relics. But you are a big star. I can trust you. By the way, if you feel afraid to say so, I will accompany you for a walk. , My brother can just watch it. Speaking of such a big palace, it is really dark and scary. We usually have to have two doormen watching the door together to sleep peacefully. "
"Haha, no need to bother." Nie Weiwan rejected the doorman's kindness.
In fact, it's not dark outside anymore. At three o'clock, the sky is getting gray. It looks like the sun will rise in a quarter of an hour. Nie Wei came to the Forbidden City to watch the sunrise.
Picking up his backpack, Nie Wei went directly to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. As the most majestic building in the Forbidden City, it is undoubtedly the core of the entire Forbidden City.
In the square outside the palace, Nie Wei sat on the ground, leaning his head on the white jade railing, silently waiting for the arrival of the morning sun. Not far away, a figure followed Nie Wei, it was the guard just now.
It’s not that he is worried about Nie Wei, he is afraid that Nie Wei will damage the property of the Forbidden City. Regarding this point, he feels that Nie Wei, the only big star, will definitely not be like this. What’s more, in the Nie Wei fan movie incident earlier, the good qualities shown by his fans have been criticized. It was widely reported by the media that with such good quality fans, the guard felt that Nie Wei's own quality could not be bad.
The reason why he followed Nie Wei was purely out of curiosity.
However, he was obviously a little disappointed because of his curiosity. Before dawn, apart from installing the equipment at the beginning, Nie Wei just sat on the ground in a daze, and waited for the day to gradually dawn, and when the morning sun rose, Nie Wei I also played with the material for a while, then took two photos, and then continued to be dazed.
Moreover, the time spent in a daze far exceeded the time spent taking pictures, which made the guard who was watching on the side feel bored and secretly guessed, is this how musicians look for inspiration?
Nie Wei didn't know how the other musicians found inspiration, but Nie Wei himself really felt an unprecedented spiritual shock while admiring the sunrise at the Forbidden City.
Behind the quiet square is the majestic main hall. As the sun rises, this ancient city gradually blooms with its own brilliance. It is not dazzling, but it gives people a heavy sense of history, especially when the light illuminates the mottled city walls and When looking at the majestic palace, the splendid atmosphere is simply overwhelming.
Sure enough, enjoying the sunrise alone in the Forbidden City feels completely different from walking around with a large group of tourists. This kind of place requires seriousness and silence to feel the insignificance of people in front of such a building. But in the hustle and bustle of daily life, one simply cannot appreciate the connotation of the two generations of imperial cities.
Nie Wei just took a picture and recorded it. Thinking about it again, the time soon reached seven o'clock.
After looking at the time, Nie Wei returned to the country, packed up his equipment, and prepared to go home.
If the guy who opened the door for him was watching TV with a bun in his mouth when the doorman arrived, he excitedly patted his friend when he saw Nie Wei coming over, while not forgetting to wave enthusiastically to Nie Wei.
"Brother, have you gained anything this morning?" the guard asked curiously.
"It's okay." Nie Wei replied with a smile. He didn't hesitate. He wanted to convert the inspiration in his mind into a melody as soon as possible.
Looking at Nie Wei's back, the guard shook his head, still confused.
