Chapter 273 273. Gift
Just pretending to think for a moment, Nie Wei agreed to Wang Zhonglei's proposal to subscribe for shares. In the final analysis, he must take advantage. Not to mention that these stocks will be more in the future, just now, the value of these stocks that Nie Wei can subscribe is far higher than the money he paid.
Seeing Nie Wei agreed, Wang Zhonglei also smiled. The two agreed to sign the contract tomorrow. After chatting for a few more words, Nie Wei was ready to leave.
"Remember, don't forget to come to the company to sign the contract tomorrow." Wang Zhonglei reminded Nie Wei before leaving.
Nie Wei nodded, thinking that it would be great if Wang Zhonglei could be so enthusiastic when he really started to use a large amount of funds to acquire Huayi's equity in the future.
But thinking of this, Nie Wei smiled and shook his head. At that time, Wang Zhonglei probably wanted to chop him with a knife. Now this idea is just a thought.
After leaving the door, Nie Wei also said goodbye to the female secretary beside him, and then walked towards his lounge downstairs.
However, as soon as he reached the stairs, Nie Wei met an acquaintance.
"Brother Nie Wei, you are back to the company!" Wang Baoqiang exclaimed in surprise when he saw Nie Wei.
"Baoqiang?" Nie Wei was surprised. Looking at Wang Baoqiang dressed in a suit, he really didn't recognize him at first glance. Moreover, Wang Baoqiang at this time was full of confidence and the whole person was much more energetic, just like a different person.
"I haven't congratulated you yet, Baoqiang, you became famous overnight." Retracting his gaze, Nie Wei smiled and congratulated. After watching A World Without Thieves, no one could have guessed that this silly boy would become famous in the end. Looking at his big white teeth and grinning, Nie Wei couldn't help laughing.
"Brother, don't praise me, I'm embarrassed." Wang Baoqiang scratched the back of his head and smiled shyly. He was still a little uncomfortable with the sudden fame.
Of course, he must be very happy in his heart. The past two months are the happiest two months for him. Wherever he goes, people recognize him and ask for his autograph enthusiastically. This is a treatment he has never enjoyed before.
Even the crooked tree where he slept at the gate of Beijing Film Studio has become a spiritual symbol for Beijingers. Many Beijingers go to the gate of Beijing Film Studio to sit on the thick tree branch. When the assistant told him about this, he was dumbfounded for a while.
And all these show that he is really famous.
"Haha, keep going. I said you can do it at the beginning. Now I still say that I believe in you." Nie Wei patted Wang Baoqiang on the shoulder and smiled. Although he is only one month older than Wang Baoqiang and debuted even later than Wang Baoqiang, Wang Baoqiang did not feel awkward after hearing this. Instead, he felt it was natural. This sentence also aroused Wang Baoqiang's thoughts. Nie Wei had encouraged him more than once on the set. Now that his words had come true, Wang Baoqiang really felt that Nie Wei was his lucky star.
After chatting with Wang Baoqiang for a few more words, Nie Wei said goodbye. Coincidentally, he met another acquaintance just after he went down one floor.
"Director Lu Chuan, long time no see." Nie Wei found that the other party looked a little dazed. The two were about to face each other, but he still didn't notice him. Nie Wei had to remind him by greeting him.
"Ah?" Hearing someone suddenly call his name, Lu Chuan came back to his senses, and then saw Nie Wei on the opposite side waving at him with a faint smile.
"Nie Wei, it's you." Lu Chuan smiled and responded enthusiastically, but then he thought of something, his face was a little unnatural, and his eyes were a little evasive when facing Nie Wei.
While Nie Wei was greeting him, he was secretly looking at Lu Chuan. Unlike Wang Baoqiang, whom he had just met, Lu Chuan at this moment had only two words written on his face: down and out.
He looked distressed and embarrassed. His cuffs and collar were greasy and black, and it was obvious that he hadn't changed them for a long time. His hair was messy and there were some frizzy spots. Even his glasses were dirty. I don't know how he could see the road clearly through these dirty lenses. What made Nie Wei feel uncomfortable was that when Lu Chuan spoke, he even smelled a faint bad breath. It was obvious that the other party hadn't brushed his teeth for several days.
Is this still the high-spirited director Lu Chuan that he knew? What happened during this period of time?
"Director, what's wrong with you?" Given the relationship between the two, Nie Wei didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"I, I... Alas, it's hard to explain." Looking at Nie Wei's concerned eyes, Lu Chuan, who had intended to hide it, finally sighed and prepared to tell the truth. In fact, he had long wanted to find someone to talk about this depressing thing, and Nie Wei was undoubtedly a good candidate.
Half an hour later, in Nie Wei's lounge, he finally knew the reason why Lu Chuan became like this, and it was all because of the movie.
It was the filming of Kekexili, which Nie Wei participated in. At first, it was thought that it would be released within three months after the filming, but it failed the first trial and could only be delayed. Later, after Lu Chuan revised it, he thought it would be released at the end of last year, but it still failed the second trial, and continued to revise it. Just a few days ago, the film was rejected again in the third trial.
After getting the news, Lu Chuan almost pointed his nose and asked the people in the censorship bureau what went wrong. As a result, he was told that it was only because a shot alluded to real politics and smeared the local government that it was rejected.
Hearing this answer, Lu Chuan wanted to throw the videotape in their faces. This movie was a true reflection of the situation, and the inaction of the local government was also clearly exposed. This was even a mistake that the government later admitted. How could it be smeared in the mouths of these people?
No matter how much Lu Chuan said, these people were determined not to let it pass. Lu Chuan had no choice but to take the movie back and revise it again.
However, after sitting in the editing room for three or four days, he couldn't make any deletions or revisions, because he was confused and didn't know how to revise it. Of course, he could mechanically revise it according to the instructions of the people in the censorship bureau, but he didn't, because if he did that, would this movie still be the movie he wanted?
After listening to Lu Chuan's resentful complaints, Nie Wei was silent for a while.
To be honest, there are not a few cases of such films being stuck. For example, the popular film "A World Without Thieves" in the Lunar New Year this year was also stuck for more than a year before it was approved. Sometimes the standards of the censorship bureau will also change with the policy, almost every year. In Nie Wei's opinion, Lu Chuan is obviously unlucky and encountered a sensitive period of the censorship bureau.
"Have you discussed it with Mr. Wang?" Nie Wei asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes, but Mr. Wang means to put it aside first, and help smooth the relationship when the company is fooled by the Lunar New Year film next year." At this point, Lu Chuan showed a bitter smile on his face.
After all, this is another year. Watching the work he shot with great effort being pushed forward step by step, and there is no guarantee, he is really afraid that this work will be gradually forgotten. After all, there are not a few films that the company collects every year, and the film with thick dust in the corner of the warehouse is their grave.
Lu Chuan doesn't want his work to be piled up in that forgotten corner, that would be too sad.
"Don't worry, after all, it's an investment of nearly 10 million. Even if Mr. Lu wants to let it go, other investors won't agree. Think about it." Nie Wei persuaded Lu Chuan, which made Lu Chuan feel a little embarrassed. After all, the movie couldn't be released, and he, as the director, had to bear the main responsibility. After all, the content was all conceived and filmed by himself. Now Nie Wei's original efforts have been stranded, and he has to persuade himself, the main person responsible, and he feels a little embarrassed no matter how he thinks about it.
"Nie Wei, I'm sorry about this. Wait a little longer. As you said, the investment in this movie is there, and it will definitely not be lost." Lu Chuan forced himself to cheer up and said with a smile.
"It's best if you can figure it out. Come, have a cup of tea. The best bamboo leaf green is rare." Nie Wei refilled a cup of tea for Lu Chuan and said with a smile.
While sipping the sweet and fragrant tea, Nie Wei was actually thinking about everything about this movie in his mind.
In memory, this movie should be released this year, which also proves that this movie must have passed the review in the end. This is also the key to Nie Wei's leisurely tea drinking now. He has a bottom line in his heart. This movie will not be stuck for too long, but it is not easy to say these words to Lu Chuan.
Nie Wei sent Lu Chuan away, and soon Luo Kai came in. When Lu Chuan came just now, he temporarily left to avoid suspicion. Seeing Lu Chuan leave, he returned to rest.
"Go home." Seeing Luo Kai, Nie Weizhi ordered a sentence.
The company is a place with ups and downs, just like a small entertainment circle. No one dares to predict what will happen to him tomorrow. There are too many thoughts and too many thoughts. Even if there is no sound in this place, Nie Wei's heart feels disturbed. It is better to go home. Even if his mother nags there, it is much more comfortable than here.
Nie Wei enjoyed going home. The food cooked by his mother still had the familiar fragrance, which immediately made him forget his troubles. There were also smiles like silver bells, chirping around Nie Wei like a little magpie. Although it was noisy, Nie Wei was not annoyed at all, but listened happily.
As for Uncle Zhou, the chessboard and good tea had been set up long ago. Nie Wei gave him guidance on chess, but he was not happy. But when Nie Wei really killed all four sides, he couldn't help wanting to regret it. Looking at his tangled face and his mother's jokes, Nie Wei really couldn't help the urge to laugh.
Enjoying the warmth of the family, Nie Wei slept particularly sweetly that night, without dreams all night. The next day, Nie Wei slept in a rare sleep, but was finally woken up by a phone call.
The caller was Shu Chang, who agreed to visit Nie Wei's home in the morning.
Rubbing his eyes, Nie Wei looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost eight o'clock. Thinking that Shu Chang would come in more than an hour, Nie Wei no longer wanted to continue sleeping, so he got up and started to wash up.
My mother had already gone to school, and Zhou Aiguo also went to work early. As for Duoduo, let alone, as a student, it was not the weekend to rest, and it was necessary to go to school on time on weekdays. Therefore, in such a big family, Nie Wei was the only one left. However, the happy and harmonious family atmosphere yesterday made Nie Wei not feel lonely at all. After all, this family he recognized had long become a harbor for his soul.
Nie Wei, who had quickly washed up, thought that Shu Chang would come in a while, and hurriedly opened the suitcase and took out the gifts he had prepared long ago. In addition to the famous watch, Nie Wei did not pull down the scarf he knitted by himself.
This scarf was made by Nie Wei when he was in the Hong Kong Metropolis crew.
At the beginning, Nie Wei knitted and unwoven, unwoven and knitted, and repeated it many times, and finally mastered this skill proficiently.
The simple patterned scarf in front of him is the result of Nie Wei's hard work for half a month.
This is a blue and white scarf, mainly white, supplemented by blue. Because white wool is easy to get dirty, Nie Wei is careful every time when weaving it. The pattern is a simple diamond pattern. The thick lines used, the style is somewhat biased towards later Korean fashion.
This is a scarf that suits Nie Wei's taste very well. It is simple and elegant yet fashionable. After Nie Wei knitted it, he showed it to friends such as Charlene Choi and Luo Yuan. These girls all said that the scarf was very beautiful, and they were even so impressed by Nie Wei. It's amazing that such craftsmanship can be achieved in such a short time.
In this regard, Nie Wei said that as long as he puts his mind to it, there is nothing he can't do. This is true for acting and knitting scarves. However, what he said was just a big laugh from the girls, who were all laughing at Nie Wei for his serious bragging. So cute.
At this moment, Nie Wei still remembered how helpless she felt at that time, and she somewhat felt how Sakuragi Hanamichi felt when he said that he was a genius.
The gifts were ready, and there was no shortage of fruit drinks. Nie Wei went out to buy whatever was lacking at home, and worked until nine o'clock. Then Nie Wei sat back on the sofa to rest, waiting for comfort to arrive.
At this time, Nie Wei felt tremendous anticipation. This feeling was very strange.
At 9:15, Shu Chang rang the doorbell of Nie Wei's house on time. When Nie Wei opened the door and saw Shu Chang, he was not as excited as he expected, but it made people's hearts beat faster and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously. Give me a smile.
Nie Wei didn't say hello, but walked forward and hugged Shu Chang tightly. This move scared Shu Chang.
"Miss me so much?" The next second, Shu Chang showed a bright smile and asked coquettishly, leaning into Nie Wei's arms, enjoying the familiar warmth.
"Of course." Nie Wei replied without hesitation.
After hugging for a while, Nie Wei welcomed Shu Chang into the house, and then gave Shu Chang the prepared gift like a treasure.
The first thing Nie Wei took out was the watch. After Shu Chang looked at it, he liked it and accepted it happily. However, the moment Shu Chang put on the watch, Nie Wei smiled and said, "I have another gift. But you are not allowed to laugh when I take it out.”
Nie Wei's words immediately aroused Shu Chang's curiosity.
