Chapter 241 240. TWINS' new song
The days before and after New Year's Day are undoubtedly the busiest time for artists. This is the way it is in this profession. The more holidays there are, the busier they are. However, Nie Wei is an exception. He has no commercial performances and can spend a warm New Year's Day comfortably.
However, the visitor in the morning surprised Nie Wei.
"Baoqiang?" After opening the door and seeing the short man standing outside, Nie Wei couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
"Isn't it New Year's Day? I brought some gifts for my brother from my hometown." Wang Baoqiang smiled honestly, showing a mouthful of big eyes, and explained.
With this sentence, Nie Wei also noticed that he was carrying some things on his shoulders, and it seemed that these were all gifts for himself.
"Brother, how were the eggs last time?" Wang Baoqiang asked while handing a basket of eggs in his hand to Nie Wei.
"It's delicious. My mother likes it very much." Nie Wei replied. In fact, he didn't eat the egg at all. Because of work, it actually went into the stomachs of his mother, Uncle Zhou and Duoduo. However, the evaluation was good. Mom said it was very fresh.
Wang Baoqiang was very happy after hearing Nie Wei's evaluation.
"Brother, tell me when you finish eating this basket, and I will ask someone to bring more from my hometown." Wang Baoqiang seemed to be in charge of the eggs for Nie Wei's family.
"No need to bother." Nie Wei waved his hand and said politely.
"No trouble, no trouble." Wang Baoqiang didn't hear the politeness in Nie Wei's words at all, and answered quite honestly.
In response, Nie Wei could only nod with a smile.
However, this time, Wang Baoqiang brought not only eggs, but also many local specialties.
"Brother, you can see that this is the millet grown by my family. I packed the best. This rice is very fragrant when it is cooked into porridge in the morning. And these peanuts are all seeds of Shandong peanuts. The red skin is large and the most nutritious. It is very fragrant when fried. And these sweet potatoes, these are all grown by me. They are all good things." Wang Baoqiang, who spoke with a Ji Pu accent, introduced the gifts he brought to Nie Wei one by one as soon as he entered the house.
"You brought so many things." Nie Wei couldn't help but laugh when he saw Wang Baoqiang taking out a variety of agricultural products from the big sack. This brother is really down-to-earth. He brought all the food he grew at home.
However, Nie Wei liked this kind of gift very much. From the smile on his face, we can tell how satisfied he was.
"Yes, I like them all very much, brother Baoqiang, thank you for your gift." Nie Wei gladly accepted the gift, but Wang Baoqiang came too suddenly. He didn't have anything on hand at the moment, so he couldn't give Wang Baoqiang a gift in return. He could only keep the other party's kindness in mind for the time being and wait for a chance to make up for it in the future.
"Brother, I'm going back. I have to send one to Director Xiaogang later." Wang Baoqiang put down the gift and was about to leave. He didn't even respond to Nie Wei's invitation to eat some fruit and drink some water.
"Well, take these with you on the way." Nie Wei packed fruits and drinks in a plastic bag and stuffed them into Wang Baoqiang's pocket, then sent him to the door and watched him get on a bright van. There was also a driver in it, dressed as a farmer. Nie Wei guessed that he should be a relative of Wang Baoqiang's family. When he found Nie Wei looking at him, he also looked at Nie Wei curiously.
The van quickly disappeared in the alley, and Nie Wei went back to the house to sort out Wang Baoqiang's gifts.
At this moment in the van, the driver was chatting with Wang Baoqiang excitedly.
"Qiangzi, I really got to see Nie Wei. You are really amazing. You are dating these big stars now." The driver said enviously, spitting everywhere, obviously very excited.
After all, this was the first time he saw a big star so close. The characters that he could only see on TV in the past suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was natural to be excited.
"No, Brother Nie Wei took good care of me in the theater." Wang Baoqiang said embarrassedly, but he was also a little proud in his heart, especially when he saw the envious eyes of his fellow villagers looking at him, which made Wang Baoqiang feel quite happy.
"That's fate, Qiangzi, tell me which big stars you met on the set?" The driver asked curiously.
"No one else, it's Brother Liu Dehua, Sister Liu Ruoying, and Director Xiaogang who will go there soon."
"Is Director Xiaogang the Feng Xiaogang?" The driver exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, it's Feng Xiaogang. Your favorite "Party A and Party B" was shot by him." Wang Baoqiang replied with a smile.
"Oh!" After getting confirmation, the driver slapped his thigh excitedly, and the car also swayed a little, which scared the two people in the car. Fortunately, he was an old driver, and quickly restrained his emotions and held the steering wheel, and the car returned to normal.
However, the driver's excitement from the heart did not disappear, but gradually turned into a kind of emotion.
"Qiangzi, you are successful now. You are the first one in our village to make a name for yourself. When you said you wanted to practice martial arts and become a migrant worker in Beijing, the villagers laughed at your family. I didn't expect that your choice was right. Without your persistence, you wouldn't be able to achieve what you have now."
These words made Wang Baoqiang silent for a while, because he knew that he had not achieved what his fellow villagers said.
But this is also a motivation to move forward, isn't it?
Wang Baoqiang has his own pursuits, and so does Nie Wei, but they all start from different points. After moving the food to the kitchen, Nie Wei returned to the house and began to think about TWINS' new song.
Speaking of which, Emperor Entertainment Group was really nice. Before he even finished writing the song, the other party had already transferred the full amount to his account, a full 300,000 yuan, showing great sincerity. This price is definitely the best among the best in the mainland.
The other party was so sincere, so Nie Wei naturally couldn't fall behind, so which song to give to TWINS became a question that Nie Wei considered from time to time recently.
In the end, Nie Wei decided on a fast song and a slow song, and then let the other party choose.
Nie Wei quickly thought of the slow song, and "He Wants to Love Her Very Much", which was originally a song of TWINS in the future, was very suitable. This is also one of TWINS's signature songs in the future, and it is a must-have song in almost every concert after the release.
The key is that this song is catchy and not difficult at the same time, which is the most suitable for TWINS, whose singing skills are a bit low.
As for the choice of fast songs, Nie Wei was embarrassed for a while, not because of the difficulty, but because there were too many options. There were at least dozens of suitable songs in his mind, but it was even more difficult to decide which one to write.
Finally, Nie Wei chose Bar-Bar-Bar from the Korean Crayon-Pop.
This song has an extremely funny style and the melody is very addictive, and the "inline five-cylinder dance" has caused a wave of craze. Thinking of TWINS dancing this dance with three dancers, Nie Wei couldn't help but want to be happy, so Nie Wei even thoughtfully danced with five dancers from the company and specially recorded this dance into a video, and then sent it to Emperor Entertainment along with the song.
Nie Wei was both looking forward to and curious about the reaction from the other side, and didn't know which song the other party would choose in the end.
During the period when Nie Wei was thinking about the song, Cai Zhuoyan and Gillian Chung almost called the company every day to ask if the song had been received. Even though the company had explained over and over again that creation takes time, they still couldn't help asking every day, and it almost became a habit during this period.
And Huo Wenxi, their agent, also attached great importance to this cooperation.
Although Xie Tingfeng and Nie Wei under her company have almost irreconcilable conflicts, this does not prevent her from appreciating Nie Wei. In her eyes, Nie Wei is the kind of entertainment genius that appears once every few decades or even a hundred years. He is proficient in music, film and television, so she sincerely hopes to maintain a good relationship with Nie Wei.
Previously, because of Xie Tingfeng, the relationship between the two sides once dropped to a freezing point, but unexpectedly, a movie fan meeting gave her a pair of new girl groups to seize the opportunity and let her understand Nie Wei's attitude.
At least the other party seems to have no prejudice against her company. With this attitude, there is undoubtedly a basis for cooperation, so when Cai Zhuoyan told Huo Wenxi about the song invitation request, she almost immediately agreed.
At the same time, she used her energy to show full sincerity to Nie Wei. Otherwise, with the usual style of the agency, even Nie Wei would not be so generous to pay directly. Huo Wenxi has made an indispensable contribution to this sincerity.
The next step is a long wait.
Huo Wenxi was looking forward to what kind of song Nie Wei would write for Twins. At the same time, he would also consider that if Nie Wei really did not contact the company because of his prejudice against Xie Tingfeng, then based on his usual reputation, the song he made would definitely not be bad, but if the other party still had a grudge in his heart, then the quality of the song would probably be perfunctory.
The day before New Year's Day, just when Huo Wenxi was considering which restaurant to celebrate on New Year's Eve, the business department finally received news that Nie Wei's song had arrived.
When Huo Wenxi got the news, he put the restaurant behind his mind, picked up the phone and contacted the company's music producer, and finally called TWINS. An hour later, a meeting was held in the company's conference room.
Although it was an impromptu meeting, almost all the senior officials of the company's music department were called in.
An hour later, except for those whose homes were too far from the company, almost everyone who could come came. The two girls from TWINS were the most excited. Who could have gotten their songs? It was like the feeling of receiving a delivery notification after online shopping in the future. It was full of expectations and a little bit of worry. It was what they wanted, but they were afraid that they would not be satisfied with what they received.
The business department thoughtfully put all the songs and video files sent by Nie Wei into the USB flash drive. At this moment, Huo Wenxi took the USB flash drive and directly inserted it into the computer in the conference room and found the folder containing the songs.
"Listen to it here for now. If everyone is satisfied, go to the recording studio." Huo Wenxi said, and then clicked on the audio file of "I Want to Love Him"
