Chapter 240 239. Two Brothers at the Opera

Mingzhu City, China's international financial and trade center, has a higher level of economic development than Kyoto. It is also China's fashion capital. Many foreign brands enter China and choose this city as their first choice.

It is also an entertainment capital, and the most famous one is Mingzhu Film Academy. This school is a key film school after Kyoto Film Academy and Huaxia Drama Academy. At its peak, it was even called the three major film schools in China together with the other two schools.

Hu Ke and Yuan Hong are both students of the 2001 acting department of this school.

The two lived in the same dormitory, with bunk beds, and even their birthdays were only less than a month apart. Then the two Virgo boys became good friends who could talk about anything.

At the same time, because Hu Ke accidentally signed a contract with Tangren in the second semester of college, in line with the principle of good things come in pairs, Hu Ke also pulled Yuan Hong into the company. The two worked in the same company again, and the relationship became closer.

So for more than a year, the two were like twin brothers, always walking in and out of the campus in pairs, so many classmates teased whether there was any special relationship between them, but the two were not afraid of "rumors" and were still "in love".

But today, Yuan Hong found that his good friend Hu Ke was always distracted, as if he had something on his mind.

Especially after Yuan Hong bought chestnuts from the dried fruit store outside and brought them back to the dormitory, Hu Ke, who always fought for them on weekdays, did not move at all, and looked absent-minded, which made Yuan Hong even more worried.

"Hu Ke, do you have something on your mind? Tell me, I can also help you think of a solution." Sitting on Hu Ge's bed, Yuan Hong asked with concern.

"You don't know?" After hearing this, Hu Ke looked at Yuan Hong in surprise, which made Yuan Hong confused: "What should I know?"

"So you don't know yet." Looking at Yuan Hong's confused expression, Hu Ke nodded in understanding, and then told the reason under Yuan Hong's urging: "You know Nie Wei, he will come to our company today. I heard that it's for the new play."

As soon as this sentence came out, Yuan Hong's eyes widened immediately.

"Old Hu, are you saying that Nie Wei is coming to our company?" When saying this, Yuan Hong's expression was a little excited. There was no way. Nie Wei was already the best goal for their generation of actors. After all, everyone was about the same age, and they were even two years older than Nie Wei, but the other party's achievements were indeed beyond their reach.

In the entertainment industry, when a person's achievements are far ahead of his peers, he will unconsciously become the goal of this generation. Hu Ke and Yuan Hong are like this, and Nie Wei is their goal, and he is also considered a half idol.

"Don't be so excited. Do you know why Nie Wei is here?" Seeing Yuan Hong was so excited, Hu Ke couldn't help but pat him and reminded him.

"Why? Didn't you say it was about the new play?" Yuan Hong replied indifferently, but he came to his senses as soon as he finished speaking.

"You mean the new play? The fairy-tale drama adapted from the game?" Yuan Hong asked uncertainly.

"That's right." Hu Ke nodded: "From what Sister Cai said, it seems that his coming here has something to do with the actors selected for the TV series. Of course, I'm not sure."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier so that I could prepare." Yuan Hong wailed. It was almost afternoon, and he hadn't prepared anything yet.

"I just came to my senses." Hu Ke scratched his head embarrassedly and explained: "And I'm not sure whether it's true or not. Sister Cai didn't give me any clear instructions. She just told me that Nie Wei would come to our company."

"Don't say it. Ask for leave from the old class in the afternoon, and we'll go to the company to wait." Yuan Hong said directly.

Soon, the two young men got a note from their class teacher, saying that they were going to interview. The class teacher also knew that the two had signed with the company and had resources, so he didn't doubt it. He just asked what kind of TV series it was and how good it was, and then encouraged the two.

After leaving the school, Hu Ke was still thinking about the teacher's teachings just now, and said reluctantly: "Isn't it not good for us to cheat the class teacher like this?"

"Who said it was cheating? Didn't you say there might be an interview?" Yuan Hong rolled his eyes and forcedly explained: "You know how hard it is to get a good opportunity in this circle. Since there may be an interview, isn't it good to get familiar with the face in advance?"

"That's right." Hu Ke was very unpositioned, and was persuaded by Yuan Hong in a few words, and then the two hurried to the company.

Nie Wei actually got off the plane last night, but because he was a little tired from the long journey, the meeting originally scheduled for the morning was changed to the afternoon.

Nie Wei slept until noon before being woken up by Luo Kai. The two of them had a quick lunch, then called Cai Yinong to confirm that she was free, and then they got up and went to Tangren Company.

"You two should be smart later." Cai Yinong looked at the two treasures in front of her, which was also the hope for the future of her company.

Nie Wei must have come to discuss the new TV series this time. Cai Yinong also began to think about it. Although the male and female protagonists could not get involved, there were still many roles that could be operated. She was most optimistic about Hu Ke, and was going to introduce Hu Ke to Nie Wei. Who knew that Hu Ke actually brought Yuan Hong over as well.

There was no other way, Cai Yinong had to include Yuan Hong in the list. After all, if she drove one sheep, she would have to let both go. Otherwise, if she drove the kid back to school now, the hatred would be huge. Besides, it would not be conducive to internal unity. The most important thing was that she admired Yuan Hong and was willing to give him this opportunity.

So when she received Nie Wei's call just now, Cai Yinong also hinted that she wanted to bring two young actors to him for a look. Fortunately, Nie Wei was easy to talk to and agreed readily, which also made Cai Yinong feel relieved.

The agreed meeting place was directly placed at Tangren Company. At this time, drinks, fruits and dried fruits were already on sale in the conference room, waiting for the main person to arrive.

Hu Ke and Yuan Hong were also on the scene, like two small staff members, helping everyone to run around, which made Cai Yinong, who was watching from the side, nod with satisfaction. If you are in this industry, you can't be without a good eye. Obviously, these two kids are still good at it.

Half an hour later, the guard called to inform Cai Yinong that Nie Wei's car had arrived at the company.

After receiving this news, Cai Yinong immediately called Hu Ke and Yuan Hong, who had just taken a break and were drinking drinks, and asked them to follow her downstairs to greet each other.

When they heard that Nie Wei was coming, the two people who were originally tired suddenly became energetic, hurriedly put down their drinks, and followed Cai Yinong's footsteps.

After the three went downstairs, they saw Nie Wei and his companions who had already walked into the door at first sight.

Very young, but gave people unusual confidence, and the temperament was clean and steady. When he stood there, he seemed to be the focus of everyone, making Hu Ke and Yuan Hong, the handsome guys who were used to being noticed on weekdays, feel a little inferior for a while. This is a feeling of being compared with better people.

It's no wonder, after all, Nie Wei has been famous for a long time, and fame is the biggest pressure. It is normal for Hu Ke and Yuan Hong, two actors who have not yet officially debuted, to feel pressure.

And then Nie Wei and Cai Yinong talked freely, which made the two brothers envious.

After all, they are all still small soldiers under President Cai, and Nie Wei has even surpassed President Cai. I don't know how he did it. He has achieved such great results in just a few years in the industry.

"These are two newcomers in our company. This is Hu Ke and this is Yuan Hong." After saying hello, Cai Yinong did not forget to introduce the two newcomers in his company to Nie Wei.

"They have a good image." Nie Wei had long noticed this pair of good brothers who would become famous in the entertainment industry in the future. At this moment, when Cai Yinong mentioned it, he also gave a compliment at the right time. Of course, there was no need to be too much, after all, it was just the first time they met, so just a little.

The two brothers smiled shyly, expressing their willingness, but they had already smiled without restraint in their hearts. Cai Yinong, who was standing aside, was also very happy to see that Nie Wei had a good impression of his two young actors.

Bringing Nie Wei and Luo Kai to the conference room, everyone soon talked about the main topic of today.

"Brother Cheng Long's movie should start shooting in early January. I don't have many scenes, but it will take at least a month to finish shooting." Nie Wei said.

After hearing what Nie Wei said, Cai Yinong was relieved.

"If it's only one month, then there should be no problem with the time. After our crew is fully prepared, we can start filming in mid-January. Moreover, we can shoot more scenes of other people first, and then rush back after you finish filming the movie. At first, I thought you would spend two or three months in the film crew, and it would be bad if you missed the peach blossom season. After all, this scenery is very important for TV series."

"That's good, as long as the time problem can be solved. By the way, how are the actors?" Nie Wei asked, subconsciously glancing at Hu Ke and Yuan Hong beside him.

Cai Yinong also secretly glanced at the two actors of his own, and then asked Nie Wei with a smile: "What do you think of them? I think Hu Ke can play the role of the second male Tang Yu Xiaobao, and Yuan Hong's temperament is also good for the third male scholar."

Cai Yinong is just picking roles for his own artists.

In fact, Cai Yinong has already made a lot of concessions in casting. After all, Nie Wei holds the copyright and funds, and he has the face and money. He didn't leave the male lead, female lead and daughter to Cai Yinong, so the most valuable ones are the male and male third and female third.

As a production company and agency, the maximization of interests is that its own artists can perfectly digest its own resources, and then convert them into popularity to earn more profits, so it is necessary to promote newcomers. This is why Cai Yinong revealed the news about Nie Wei to Hu Ke in advance, hoping to give him a push.

What surprised Cai Yinong was that Hu Ke would bring Yuan Hong with him.

So when Cai Yinong recommended both children to Nie Wei, she was still a little nervous. After all, it should be no problem to get a male second with her face, after all, her company also invested money, but if she got the male second and male third together, whether Nie Wei would be easy to talk to, she was not sure in her heart.

Hu Ke and Yuan Hong were also very nervous. After all, the opportunity was right in front of them. Whether they could be more successful depended on Nie Wei's next statement.

"No problem." Nie Wei saw everyone's expressions and then replied with a smile. However, just when Cai Yinong and others unconsciously showed joy on their faces, Nie Wei suddenly suggested: "But Mr. Cai, how about swapping their roles?"

"Hmm?" Cai Yinong's smile froze, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He couldn't help but cast his eyes on the equally surprised Hu Ke and Yuan Hong.

"I think Yuan Hong has more three-dimensional facial features, so he is more suitable to play the role of Tang Yu Xiaobao, a young man from a minority ethnic group. On the contrary, Hu Ke has a calmer temperament, so he may be more suitable to play the role of a scholar." Nie Wei explained.

"Really?" Cai Yinong looked at Yuan Hong and Hu Ke carefully again, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

After all, she was more optimistic about Hu Ke, and she wanted to cultivate Hu Ke. It was just that Nie Wei suddenly said this, which undoubtedly made Yuan Hong more important in her heart.

"Don't rush to decide on the role. I'm just making a suggestion." Cai Yinong seemed to be in a dilemma, so Nie Wei gave her a way out.

"Well, let's put it aside for now. Anyway, there is still some time." Cai Yinong smiled and said.

"By the way, have you given them the script? If not, give it to them now, let them prepare for both roles, and let them both perform a part when they are interviewing for roles later. Whoever is suitable will be the one to play." Nie Wei suddenly suggested.

Cai Yinong was startled, then reacted and nodded in agreement.

"Let's do it."

Soon, two scripts were placed in front of Hu Ke and Yuan Hong. Hu Ke didn't say anything, but Yuan Hong's excitement was obvious, and his eyes looking at Nie Wei were full of gratitude.

He was not stupid, he knew very well that Nie Wei played a very important role in this opportunity. Now he not only had the opportunity to play the third male lead, but he could even compete for the second male lead. Regardless of whether he succeeded in the end, he had deeply remembered the favor given by Nie Wei.

"The roles of the second male lead and the third male lead are actually similar. It's mainly about which one you think is suitable for you. Think about it carefully when you go back." Cai Yinong watched the two people flipping through the scripts and said a few words on the side. She was mainly afraid that the two would have a conflict because of the roles. And she didn't lie. The roles of Liu Jinyuan and Tang Yu Xiaobao were indeed similar, and each had its own characteristics.

After talking about the roles, Nie Wei's trip to Mingzhu basically came to an end. The next time he comes, it will probably be when the new drama starts. As for the interview, Nie Wei will ask Luo Kai to come and listen, and Cai Yinong will give his opinions on the remaining actors. On the contrary, he has already got the roles he wants.

Nie Wei's concession also made Cai Yinong feel a lot more comfortable.

Back home, Nie Wei lived a life of going back and forth between school and home. If there was anything in the company, he would contact directly by phone. In this way, time passed unknowingly and it was almost New Year's Day. On the day before New Year's Day, Nie Wei was practicing calligraphy at home when he heard someone knocking on the door. He opened the door and saw that the person who came surprised Nie Wei a little.
