Chapter 221 219. First meeting with Baoqiang
"A World Without Thieves" is a film about human nature. A pair of thieves who were originally evil eventually found their goodness during the journey due to various reasons.
Nie Wei plays a policeman in the play. He is very young but very smart. He hides his identity and performs plainclothes tasks along the way. In the end, he completes it brilliantly and catches Uncle Li's gang in one fell swoop.
On the way to the crew, a black imported high-end nanny car was running, approaching the filming location of A World Without Thieves at a rapid speed.
"Nie Wei, this time Director Xiaogang specially revised the script for you. This role has been added for you. You must play it seriously. If you are outstanding in this movie, your popularity will definitely rise again!" Luo Kai kept nagging in Nie Wei's ear. After all, Feng Xiaogang's New Year's film is the best resource of Huayi. Although he is not the protagonist, the role arranged for Nie Wei is also very important, and he cannot help but pay attention to it.
"Brother Luo, don't worry. I have never been lazy at work. You have said this many times. I want to rest now. Let me be quiet for a while." Nie Wei replied helplessly.
"Okay, take a rest. I'll put the script next to you. Take a look when you wake up."
Nie Wei, who closed his eyes, did not fall asleep quickly. Nie Wei valued this role in this movie, but not as much as Luo Kai. Although the words are convoluted, it is true.
Because I know the future self very well which role will really be popular in this movie.
So although Nie Wei will still complete this job with 100% attitude, he is indeed in a normal state of mind. It is just a job. He will not be as anxious as Luo Kai.
However, Nie Wei also understands Luo Kai's anxiety.
Any artist brought by an agent will feel anxious if he is half a step away from the first-line status. Although there is only a line between the quasi-first-line and the first-line, the difference between this line is indeed huge.
Take Nie Wei for example. With his high popularity, he is almost unrivaled in the company. At the age of 20, he has become a "brother". In particular, he is "favored" by the company's senior management. However, there has never been a rumor that Nie Wei is the "number one brother" in the company, and there has never been a rumor that he is competing for the number one brother.
Why is it that the status is not high enough.
What does the first-line represent? It is the pillar that can drive the valuation of any domestic brokerage company and shock the scene. It is the most dazzling advertisement for an entertainment company and the life-saving talisman of an entertainment company. It can be said that as long as the first-line actors are there, the company will not fall.
And being able to lead a first-line artist is also the most desirable thing for many agents. After all, it will symbolize fame and fortune, and it is also an honor. After all, agents don’t have many awards to win, and the most important point of competition is the status of their artists.
This is also the reason why Wang Jinghua can bully the store with big customers. He is a first-line agent, and not just an agent of first-line artists. These stars are her biggest confidence, and she is very confident. Wang Zhonglei must give in within certain principles. Even if he is unhappy, he can only secretly make a little trouble.
Thinking about it, Nie Wei, who was originally just going to take a nap, actually fell asleep. Luo Kai heard it and couldn't help sighing. He knew that Nie Wei was really tired.
Although he had turned down many commercial performances, Nie Wei's popularity was there. There were so many advertising endorsements that made the stars in the company jealous, but it also exhausted Nie Wei, not to mention that he had to take care of his studies. No wonder Nie Wei sometimes felt that he was on vacation when he went to school.
Moreover, he spent a lot of effort on creating the soundtrack a while ago. He lost a lot of weight in half a month. Why Luo Kai knew so clearly? Of course, it was from the waist circumference of Nie Wei's pants. Luo Yuan, who was also Nie Wei's costume designer, learned that his waist circumference was indeed one inch less.
But this is the price of fame. Nie Wei and Luo Kai knew each other, so no one advised the other to stop and take a break, because they both knew that if they stopped and took a break, they would probably be caught up or even surpassed by the latecomers, and some opportunities would slip away from their eyes, which might be the key to let Nie Wei go further.
When Nie Wei woke up again, he was called by Luo Kai.
"Are we at the set?" Nie Wei rubbed his hair, then took the baseball cap handed over by Luo Kai and asked.
"We just arrived at the door, you tidy up and we will go in." Luo Kai said, while opening a small mirror and handing it to Nie Wei.
After listening to Luo Kai's words, Nie Wei nodded, looked at himself in the mirror, and then suddenly thought of something, and slapped his forehead in annoyance.
"By the way, I forgot to buy some coffee or something. It's not good to go to the crew empty-handed for the first time."
"Haha, I've already bought it and put it in the trunk of the car." Luo Kai laughed when he heard this. This matter no longer needed Nie Wei to remind him to do it. Two years of training made him familiar with Nie Wei's style of doing things, so he didn't need Nie Wei to say it, he was ready.
"That's good." Nie Wei breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his waist, and prepared to get off the car.
The filming location of "No Thief in the World" was an open space in the suburbs of Beijing, but it had been cleaned up by the crew at this time, and the rails were laid. Four green carriages were also pulled in, which were arranged into soft and hard sleepers and soft and hard seats.
Ninety percent of Nie Wei's scenes had to be completed in these carriages.
In fact, Nie Wei has another regret, that is, he didn't go to Labrang Temple with the crew, which would obviously be an interesting journey no less than that of Hoh Xil.
When they arrived at the set, the scene was busy. When Nie Wei's nanny car drove in, a staff member soon discovered it. When he saw that it was Nie Wei who came down, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
"Brother Nie Wei, Director Feng is filming over there. How about you wait a while and I'll help you keep an eye on it."
"No need to be so troublesome." Nie Wei waved his hand, then smiled and said to the staff member: "Do me a favor. I brought some energy drinks and coffee for everyone. Please help me distribute them."
"Of course no problem." The staff member who was troubled looked flattered and immediately agreed.
Looking at the staff member busying around Luo Kai and Luo Yuan, Nie Wei smiled and shook his head. Popularity is really interesting. Thinking about his initial treatment in the Jinfenshijia crew, combined with the current treatment, it is simply a world of difference.
There was no problem with Luo Yuan watching over here. Soon Nie Wei took Luo Kai and a bag of drinks to the shooting site.
The shooting site was in the carriage. The first feeling Nie Wei had when he walked in was that it was a bit crowded. Fortunately, the staff took the initiative to make way after seeing Nie Wei, so Nie Wei was not hindered.
"CUT! Wang Baoqiang, have you done your homework seriously? You can't even remember the lines. You act like a P. I'll give you ten minutes. If you can't shoot well later, you'll get out of here!"
Just as Nie Wei walked to the carriage where Feng Xiaogang was, a roar came out. Nie Wei didn't need to listen carefully to know that Feng Dapao had fired again. He and Luo Kai looked at each other. Both of them saw helplessness in each other's eyes. After all, no one wanted to show up when a director was angry.
But since they had come this far, it was obviously unrealistic for Nie Wei to run away temporarily. He had to bite the bullet.
With drinks, hoping that Feng Dapao would be "short-mouthed", Nie Wei and Luo Kai finally got behind Feng Xiaogang.
"Director Feng, I'm here to report."
"Hmm?" Hearing someone suddenly call him from behind, Feng Xiaogang turned around and saw Nie Wei's bright smile, and then his face turned black.
"You kid still remember to come, do you know how many actors' daily schedules I have changed because of you?" As expected, Feng Xiaogang, who was angry, was very difficult to talk to, and he had the urge to vent his resentment for the unsuccessful filming on Nie Wei.
However, facing the angry director, Nie Wei still had a smile on his face and said calmly: "Director, it's unreasonable for you to blame me for this. You have given me the leave note, and you have signed it yourself. The ancient emperors emphasized that 'the king does not joke'. Is there any difference between your status in the crew and the emperor? Isn't it too much to say this to you?"
"You kid!" Listening to Nie Wei's set of rhetoric, Feng Xiaogang really laughed. He helplessly pointed at Nie Wei and Feng Xiaogang laughed and scolded: "You are just a nice mouth. , then my brother has said that after lunch, you will have a film in the afternoon. You have got the schedule a long time ago, right? If the filming is good, we will move on. If it is not good, don't blame me for being ruthless. "
"You should leave some. Didn't you see that I brought you a drink? Red Bull, I guarantee that your movie will be popular and awesome."
"Oh, OK, I will be more polite when the time comes."
Wang Baoqiang, who had just been scolded, was dumbfounded at this time. Who is this person who is so awesome that he can chat with Feng Dapao like this? Soon, as he saw Nie Wei's face, Wang Baoqiang recognized this popular young actor at once.
At this moment, Feng Xiaogang suddenly stood up and led Nie Wei towards Wang Baoqiang.
In Nie Wei's eyes, he found that this young man who had not yet become famous must be extremely nervous at this time. When he saw himself and Feng Xiaogang walking over, he was so overwhelmed that he didn't know where to put his hands. This was completely different from the future comedy star who was chatting and laughing in front of and behind the scenes.
As expected, popularity is confidence, and confidence can bring confidence. Obviously, "Shagen" does not have such confidence at present, but it will be soon. When this movie is released, this guy will experience what it means to be "famous overnight", just like Nie Wei after "The Golden Age" was released.
"Hello, my name is Nie Wei."
"I... my name is Wang Baoqiang, hello." Seeing Nie Wei take the initiative to extend his hand to greet him, Wang Baoqiang was surprised and a little overwhelmed. He subconsciously touched his hand on his clothes, and then shook hands with Nie Wei shyly.
"You are of similar age, so you should communicate more when you have time." Feng Xiaogang also said at the side. He was naturally clear about Nie Wei's acting skills. Although he scolded Wang Baoqiang a lot, he actually liked this simple child from the bottom of his heart. That's why he brought Nie Wei here specially, hoping that Nie Wei could give him some acting guidance.
Nie Wei could guess some of Feng Xiaogang's thoughts, and did not refuse. Instead, he smiled and said to Wang Baoqiang: "Baoqiang is the best newcomer of the new Golden Horse Awards. I also want to learn from him."
"No...no, I don't even know where I got that award." Hearing Nie Wei praising himself, Wang Baoqiang was not as happy as ordinary stars, but a look of panic.
At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps behind Nie Wei, and then a voice sounded in his ears.
"Nie Wei? Are you here to report?"
"Brother Hua, long time no see." Nie Wei turned around and saw Andy Lau with milk tea Liu Rene beside him. Nie Wei also said hello quickly.
Rene Liu nodded friendly towards Nie Wei, and then walked to the hard seat to rest. At that time, Liu Dehua took Nie Wei to the side and started chatting.
Wang Baoqiang watched from the sidelines the exchanges between Nie Wei and Liu Dehua like friends. Not to mention he was envious. At the same time, he also felt a little inferior. He fantasized about when he could have such a good relationship with Liu Dehua. He was so simple-minded that he really wanted to do whatever he wanted. Thinking about it, and thinking about it, I am happy and happy. ,
Seeing that Wang Baoqiang was dumbfounded, a nearby staff member immediately showed a mocking smile and pointed at Wang Baoqiang with his partner. At the same time, the stupid voice was also heard by Liu Dehua and Nie Wei.
"Silly brother, what are you enjoying?" Liu Dehua asked Wang Baoqiang. "Silly brother" was one of the names he called Wang Baoqiang in the movie.
"No...it's nothing." Wang Baoqiang was brought back to his senses by Liu Dehua's question. He looked at the mocking eyes of everyone around him and faced the king's question. Of course, he was embarrassed to tell the things he fantasized about, so he could only avoid it.
"Baoqiang, come and have a chat. We were talking about you just now." Just when Wang Baoqiang was about to hide towards a less crowded place with a shrinking look in his eyes, Nie Wei spoke again.
Wang Baoqiang also paused in his steps. He looked at Nie Wei in surprise and found that the other person's eyes were full of encouragement. Wang Baoqiang's shrinking body subconsciously turned around and actually walked towards Nie Wei.
Until he sat down next to Nie Wei and faced the King of Heaven, Wang Baoqiang still felt a little unrealistic in his mind.
Opposite him is the king Liu Dehua. Although the two have had many scenes with each other this week, this is the first time they sit together in such a normal way. Thinking of this, Wang Baoqiang feels a little excited in his heart, and there is also a little excitement in his heart. Be a little proud, after all, being able to sit and chat with the King face to face is something worthy of bragging for a young actor like him.
Of course, Wang Baoqiang also felt a sense of gratitude for the boredom next to him. It was not just the opportunity he gave him, but the other person's attitude that always made him feel warm in his heart.
