Chapter 228 227. Interview (Part 1)
After returning to the hotel, Nie Wei took a short rest, changed his clothes, and went to the restaurant agreed with Yuan Bin with Luo Kai.
Yuan Bin booked a hot pot restaurant. When Nie Wei and Luo Kai arrived, Yuan Bin had been waiting in the box for a long time.
"Nie Wei."
"Brother Yuan Bin." The two hugged each other warmly as soon as they met, and then Nie Wei did not forget Luo Kai beside him and introduced: "Brother Yuan Bin, this is my agent Luo Kai, you still remember it."
"Of course, Brother Luo Kai gave us a lot of benefits at the beginning, haha." Yuan Bin laughed. Nie Wei was generous and often bought water and popsicles for the crew, and most of the distribution of these things was done by Luo Kai.
In private occasions, the three of them exchanged a few words without so much courtesy, and then sat down without hesitation.
"Nie Wei, you treated our martial arts brothers to hot pot when you were in the mainland. This time when you come to Hong Kong, you should also try our seafood hot pot. This Daoxiang restaurant is one of the signature hot pot restaurants in Hong Kong. You will definitely not be disappointed." Yuan Bin patted his chest and said with a proud expression, obviously confident in the food of this hot pot restaurant.
"I am looking forward to it." Nie Wei replied with a smile.
Yuan Bin did not brag. Soon the hot pot and ingredients were served on the table. The base of the pot was the Eight Treasures Mushroom Pot, including eight kinds of mushrooms such as Hericium erinaceus, Oyster mushroom, Shiitake mushroom, and Enoki mushroom as the main ingredients, supplemented with the store's secret ingredients, and then boiled with the long-simmered bone soup. The final base of the pot looks nutritious and full of vitality.
The hot pot dishes served afterwards were also very good, including Australian marbled fat beef, premium eye ribs, fresh beef ribs, and chilled fresh shrimps, black roe and other seafood. In addition to these main hot pot items, the rest, such as fresh beef liver, beef bone marrow, and tender beef tongue, were also very fresh. In addition, a large basket of fresh seasonal vegetables gave people a very appetizing feeling before these ingredients were put into the pot.
"The taste is very good, and the ingredients are very fresh." After tasting the newly cooked beef, it was so tender and fragrant that Nie Wei couldn't help but nod and praise.
"Haha, I said it was good, didn't disappoint you, did I?" Hearing Nie Wei's praise, Yuan Bin seemed very happy. After all, as a landlord, being able to entertain guests well is the greatest satisfaction, not to mention that Nie Wei is his benefactor.
"I am indeed not disappointed, and I am very surprised." Nie Wei praised himself without hesitation. Hearing such words, Yuan Bin also felt more and more proud.
After eating for a while, everyone finally got to the point from chatting.
"If it's the male second, I can't guarantee it, but I think you're a sure bet for the villain. Not many people interviewed for this role, after all, it's a villain. The most famous one is this actor named Wu Yanzu, who played in "Beautiful Boy's Love", but in recent years he has played some supporting roles in movies, and he has no advantage over you." Yuan Bin shared the news he got with Nie Wei.
Hearing the name Wu Yanzu, Nie Wei's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding. If he didn't appear, this role would belong to this person, and he would become a hit with this role and become the representative of the new generation of male gods.
However, Nie Wei has already set his sights on this role, so naturally he will not give the opportunity to others easily.
"Thank you, brother Yuan Bin, this news is very important to me." After listening, Nie Wei filled a glass of wine for Yuan Bin, filled a glass for himself, and then toasted.
"You're welcome, I should do this." Yuan Bin smiled and raised his glass, clinked it with Nie Wei, and then drank it all.
After a while, Nie Wei and Yuan Bin chatted while eating, and Luo Kai also told a few jokes and poured two glasses of wine. Everyone enjoyed the whole dinner.
"Nie Wei, you don't have to send me off. I'll take a taxi back." At the entrance of the hotel, Yuan Bin, who had finished his meal, refused Nie Wei's farewell and said, "Remember to call me tomorrow morning. I know the way and can take you there."
"Okay, let's have breakfast together tomorrow morning. The breakfast in Hong Kong is world-famous. I have wanted to try it for a long time."
"Then it's settled."
After sending Yuan Bin to the taxi, Nie Wei and Luo Kai returned to the car.
Because of the hotel driver, Nie Wei and Luo Kai didn't talk much in the car until they returned to the hotel room, and then they talked about the topic just now.
"This brother Yuan Bin is very enthusiastic. He will take you there in person tomorrow. It is obvious that he is escorting you." Luo Kai's words were full of satisfaction with Yuan Bin. After all, as a manager, he should be grateful for his own artists being taken care of so attentively.
"Well, Brother Luo Kai, please check what famous breakfast restaurants there are in Hong Kong. We will arrange the morning tea tomorrow. We can't always trouble Brother Yuan Bin."
"Of course, I'll check it when I return to the room." Luo Kai nodded, took out a small notebook, and wrote this down.
"By the way, please help me find the white shirt and the black windbreaker from Burberry, and ask the hotel to iron them for me. I need to wear them for the interview tomorrow."
"No problem." Luo Kai agreed, and wrote it down in his own small notebook at the same time, so that he could remind himself at any time and not forget it. After all, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen.
Then the two chatted for a while until Nie Wei's phone suddenly rang, and then they stopped talking.
"Shu Chang." Nie Wei looked at the caller ID and said.
"Then you answer the phone, I'll go back to the room first, and call me directly if I remember anything later." When he heard that it was Shu Chang, Luo Kai didn't act like a light bulb anymore, and left the room very tactfully.
Nie Wei also pressed the call button.
"Have you arrived in Hong Kong safely? You didn't even say to give me a call. I'm very worried." As soon as the call was connected, Shu Chang's caring voice reached Nie Wei's ears.
"What do I have to worry about as a grown man? Besides, Luo Kai is with me." Nie Wei replied.
"What if the plane falls down? It's useless to have ten Luo Kai accompanying you, huh."
"You're being serious, don't worry. I just had a good time talking to you on the phone. I forgot to tell you that I was dreaming about you when I was sleeping on the plane." Nie Wei smiled, knowing the girl's complaints. Purely out of concern, and of course wanting to be coquettish with him, Nie Wei also said a few nice words. Sure enough, Shu Chang no longer cared about this trivial matter, and shifted his attention to Nie Wei's dream.
"It's a pretty ordinary dream." Nie Wei replied with a satisfied appetite.
"Ah." The girl yelled unwillingly and said, "Dreaming about me shouldn't be very sweet. How could it be dull? You don't love me anymore."
"You have wronged me. That dream was plain, but it was also very warm. I dreamed that I was suddenly eighty years old, and you were also an old woman in her seventies. Both of us had wrinkles on our faces and hair. They are all gray, but my bones are very strong, but your legs are wrong. Then you sit in this wheelchair and I push you from behind. Just the two of us keep walking on an avenue full of cherry blossoms. As we walked, it seemed that we could never reach the end, and you always complained that I was pushing too slowly, making me upset..."
Listening to Nie Wei's description, Shu Chang, who was holding the phone, felt a sweet and warm feeling in his heart. He couldn't help but smile knowingly, but he said: "Bad guy, you don't even let me be nice in your dreams, huh, I'm better than you." When you are young, you will be in a wheelchair and I will push you when you are old, but you will still nag you. Who wants you, an old guy, to boss me around when you are old? "
"Because I like you."
"Hmm."
The two of them chatted until about ten o'clock in the evening before hanging up the phone. The phone Nie Wei was holding was a little hot and the battery was running low. Thinking that he would have something to do tomorrow, Nie Wei quickly charged the phone and went back to the house. Go to sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
Looking at the energetic Nie Wei, Luo Kai, who had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, felt indescribable envy.
"You're so good at not recognizing the bed. I'm not good at it. I tossed and turned yesterday and didn't fall asleep until about two o'clock in the middle of the night." Luo Kai said listlessly.
"Brother Kai, you have to exercise more. The problem between you and Jue Qian has a lot to do with your body." Nie Wei raised her hand and patted Luo Kai's slightly bulging belly and joked.
"Don't ask me to exercise. I'm too busy with your things. I don't have time." When Luo Kai heard about exercise, he immediately looked unwilling. In fact, fat people are like this. The fatter they are, the less they like to exercise. After all, with so much flesh on his body, it takes twice as much effort to move as a normal person.
"You don't have to say anything about this matter. I will let Luo Yuan supervise you when the time comes. Besides, don't say that I am not free. The company has a gym. In addition, I will give you a set of high-end fitness equipment. You can do it at home. Don't tell me. As a boss, I don't care about you." Nie Weike said directly regardless of Luo Kai's attitude.
Hearing these words, Luo Kai suddenly frowned. Nie Wei always did what he said, and his daughter was an even more difficult character. As a father, he had no good way to hide in front of his daughter. It seemed that he The good days of 'eating delicious food and being lazy to cook' have come to an end.
Yesterday, the clothes ordered by Nie Wei were delivered to Luo Kai's room early in the hotel, and Luo Kai handed them over to Nie Wei. After Nie Wei put on the clothes, she was taken directly to the beauty salon, where one of the teachers specially treated Nie Wei. After Luo Kai asked about the time, he also called Yuan Bin and agreed on the location and time for breakfast.
Luo Kai booked a breakfast at a well-known morning tea hotel in Hong Kong. When the meal was served, Nie Wei was deeply impressed by the exquisiteness of the Cantonese breakfast, regardless of the taste.
However, Nie Wei didn't eat more. He only ate two shrimp dumplings and took a few mouthfuls of millet porridge before putting down his chopsticks.
"Aren't you used to Hong Kong-style morning tea?" When Yuan Bin saw this, he thought it was because Nie Wei was not used to it. While asking with concern, he also suggested: "Why don't we find a breakfast shop? Hong Kong also sells sesame cakes, fried dough sticks and soy milk."
"It's quite delicious." Seeing Yuan Bin's misunderstanding, Nie Wei explained, "I just have an interview right away. It's not good to be too full."
"That's right. If you are acting during the interview and suddenly burp, it will be ruined. But you can pack some and eat after the interview. After all, being hungry is uncomfortable, right?" Yuan Bin listened. After hearing Nie Wei's explanation, he smiled and nodded in approval.
"Well, I'll ask Luo Kai to pack some breakfast soon." Nie Wei replied in a good-natured manner.
After eating breakfast, Yuan Bin drove towards Cheng Long's company with Nie Wei and Luo Kai. I have to say that it was very convenient to have Yuan Bin here. Although the interview had not started yet, with his presence, The front desk let the three people in directly. During the process, they met many acquaintances of Yuan Bin, and he also took Nie Wei to introduce them to everyone enthusiastically.
This made Nie Wei become familiar with many company staff before even waiting for the interview.
Of course, Nie Wei's popularity also plays a big role in this. Due to Nie Wei's high popularity in Hong Kong, these company employees will not show their faces to Nie Wei. Coupled with Yuan Bin's introduction, every one of them has an expression on their face. He was smiling, not to mention very friendly.
With Yuan Bin's face, he took Nie Wei and Luo Kai directly to Cheng Long's office.
"Wait a moment, Cheng Long will be here soon. You don't have to feel restrained when we meet. I have already told him your conditions. Cheng Long is also very satisfied with you. Today's interview is just a formality. As long as you perform at half of your usual level, it will be enough." In Cheng Long's office, Yuan Bin did not forget to comfort Nie Wei, fearing that he would be nervous.
However, Yuan Bin's worry was in vain. Nie Wei was not nervous at all. Instead, he looked around the office curiously.
Cheng Long is a big star in Hong Kong and one of the Chinese superstars. The decoration of his office is very simple. The tables and chairs are all common styles. Except that the room is a little bigger, it is basically the same as that of an ordinary boss' office. If there is any difference, it is that the honor cabinet in the corner is filled with various trophies.
Seeing Nie Wei standing in front of the honor cabinet and looking non-stop, Luo Kai said from the side: "Nie Wei, you will definitely get more than these in the future."
"Are you so confident in me?" Nie Wei turned his head and looked at Luo Kai with a smile and asked.
"Of course." Luo Kai answered without hesitation. In his eyes, Nie Wei is the most talented actor of this era, and he will definitely become a Chinese superstar in the future.
"I am also very confident." Listening to Luo Kai's answer, Nie Wei also said with a hint of pride.
These trophies are indeed worthy of an actor's envy, but in Nie Wei's eyes, it is also a goal to strive for. He will have the opportunity to win these trophies in the future, and he will also win those world-class awards that are not available here.
This is an expectation, and Nie Wei is confident to go step by step and complete it.
Ten minutes passed, and suddenly, Nie Wei's ears moved, and the footsteps coming from outside the door caught his attention. As the footsteps got closer and closer, Nie Wei became more and more certain in his heart that the key person had finally arrived.
Sure enough, the door of the office was soon pushed open, and then a middle-aged man about 1.7 meters tall came into Nie Wei's eyes. Looking at his iconic big nose, Nie Wei almost instantly recognized what he thought in his heart. This person was the owner of this office, Cheng Long.
