Chapter 332 332. Alan's Variety Show (Part 1)
When Nie Wei came to Wang Zhonglei's office, Wang Zhonglei was sitting on the sofa next to him making tea. Seeing Nie Wei coming, he looked up and smiled, and greeted: "You came at the right time. Zhuyeqing, do you smell the tea?"
"Very good, Brother Zhonglei has good stuff here." Nie Wei smiled and praised, walked to the sofa, and sat together like a friend.
"How is the negotiation with TWINS?" After pouring a cup of tea for Nie Wei, Wang Zhonglei asked.
"Is it about the album or the contract?" Nie Wei did not answer directly.
"Tell me about both." Wang Zhonglei said expectantly.
After organizing his words, Nie Wei said: "The album is going well. Emperor Entertainment Group is very cooperative. There are basically no problems. The mainland sales of the new album will also be handed over to us. As for the mainland contract of the TWINS group, Emperor Entertainment Group is still hesitating and has not given an accurate answer when I left."
After listening to this, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but look a little disappointed. Now the most difficult thing for a newly established record company is that there is no artist who can dominate the scene, of course, this does not include Nie Wei.
So Wang Zhonglei really hopes to sign TWINS' mainland record contract to his own company.
"What does Yang Shou mean? They don't have the power to expand the mainland market now, so why are they holding on to it?" Wang Zhonglei said with a hint of sarcasm.
"In the face of interests, even the smartest people will lose their minds." Nie Wei commented.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him. How about the new movie? Can it be finished before the New Year?" Wang Zhonglei changed the subject and asked Nie Wei about his new movie.
"Speeding Scandal" has been filmed for less than a month, but the progress is approaching the end. Nie Wei expects that it will be successful in another two weeks.
"Do you want me to find an experienced editor to help you?" Hearing that the movie will be finished in two weeks, Wang Zhonglei was surprised and asked Nie Wei if he needed any help, especially post-editing. In his opinion, this is the most difficult part for many new directors.
But Nie Wei rejected his kindness.
"No need. For the first movie, I want to try editing it myself. Lu Chuan will come to help. There is no need to send someone else." Nie Wei replied.
"Okay, just tell me if you need anything." Wang Zhonglei did not persuade him any more. He knew that Nie Wei was not a stubborn person. If he really had any difficulties, he would definitely tell him.
After chatting for a while, Nie Wei said goodbye. Wang Zhonglei got up and sent Nie Wei to the door. Before saying goodbye, he suddenly said, "I forgot to mention that your little apprentice Alan was very satisfied with your gift."
"Really? That's good." Nie Wei smiled and nodded, and did not forget to smile and gesture to the secretary beside him.
Wang Zhonglei closed the door of the office over there, but the secretary's eyes followed Nie Wei's back. Although she knew that she could not afford such a man, she felt that just a glance would make people satisfied. Until Nie Wei's back disappeared, she reluctantly withdrew her eyes.
Not only the secretary, but also most of the unmarried women in the company think Nie Wei is the best partner. However, the halo around him also puts a huge pressure on most women. So since he joined the company, Nie Wei has never received a confession from a woman. In fact, many women are also curious about which lucky man will be Nie Wei's final partner.
At this moment, Nie Wei returned to his lounge and his mind was full of thoughts about Alan's gift.
It was said that he was giving Alan a gift, but in fact, Nie Wei was preparing a variety show specifically for Alan, just like the debut records of those Korean celebrities when they debuted. Nie Wei felt that this model could also be applied to Alan.
The most important thing is that this show does not cost much. It only requires the cooperation of the photographer and the artist throughout the process. The publicity platform is placed on Nie Wei's Fanxing blog. The shooting fee, miscellaneous expenses and promotion fees added up to less than one million yuan, but Nie Wei felt that the final effect would definitely exceed the publicity of tens of millions.
After all, he knew too well how much fans and moviegoers cared about the privacy of their favorite celebrities and artists, otherwise there would be no group of "private fans", and Nie Wei wanted to show this "reality" to fans, satisfying their curiosity while further promoting his own artists.
Moreover, although it is called "reality", there are too many places that can be processed. Celebrities can create a very attractive image for themselves through the program itself, and because the audience believes that this is real, its persuasiveness is definitely much higher than that of ordinary TV programs.
And such a separately created program is more worthwhile for Alan than giving her any precious gifts, because this is an opportunity to take her fame to a higher level.
And if Alan can succeed, this model can be promoted throughout the company, and it will undoubtedly be much more convenient for the company to introduce new people in the future.
"By the way, you can also invite more celebrities to guest star in the program. Anyway, there are many artists coming and going in the company every day. This is a free resource, and it can be fully utilized." Thinking of this, Nie Wei immediately called the director in charge of filming this program and asked him to pay attention to this.
After notifying everyone of this matter, Nie Wei returned to his own pace of life, busying himself between the crew, home, and the company every day.
However, what Nie Wei did not expect was that on the third day after he returned to the mainland from Hong Kong, the director who had originally found a variety show for Alan came to his door. He wanted Nie Wei to participate in the recording of this variety show.
In fact, the director did not think of Nie Wei immediately after hearing Nie Wei's reminder. Instead, after discussing with Alan's agent Wu Ya, Wu Ya proposed to invite Nie Wei.
When the director heard that Nie Wei was going to be invited, he was stunned at first, but then he was excited.
You should know that the most popular artist under Huayi is Nie Wei. In terms of popularity, even Zhou Xun can't compare. Moreover, Nie Wei has participated in very few variety shows since his debut. It is conceivable that people who like him are hungry for Nie Wei's exposure. If he can appear on the screen, this show will definitely not lack attention.
So the two hit it off and immediately invited Nie Wei.
Nie Wei did not refuse this. He originally wanted to appear on camera at the end of the show to help Alan. Now that the other party has taken the initiative to propose it, it is only right for him to cooperate once.
In order to introduce Nie Wei, the program team also specially made a plot, arranging staff to ask Alan questions, asking her to choose a person she respects the most, and then cook a meal to express her gratitude.
When deciding the shooting process, there was a small episode in the middle. The program team wanted to inform Alan about the shooting process, but was stopped by Wu Ya.
"Nie Wei said that this program should try to pursue authenticity. I don't think it is necessary to notify Alan in advance. Just go ahead and shoot." Wu Ya said directly in front of the program director.
"What if Alan says that the person he wants to thank the most is not Nie Wei?" The program director was puzzled.
"Then just shoot it again. It's just a waste of time. You are busy?" Wu Ya rolled her eyes and replied. The program director blushed a little when he heard it. He was indeed a little misunderstanding.
However, during the subsequent filming, the program director, who had been a little nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief. When asked who Alan wanted to thank the most, the girl chose Nie Wei without hesitation.
"Brother Nie Wei is my mentor. Since I entered this industry, I have kept in mind his support and help. Without him, there would be no Alan today." Alan said this with sincerity.
Looking at Alan's performance in the camera, the program director knew that Wu Ya was right. Anyone could see Alan's dependence and admiration for Nie Wei. This girl who usually doesn't talk much almost became a chatterbox when talking about Nie Wei.
Then the staff arranged by the program team proposed the task.
"Let me cook, this is embarrassing, my cooking skills are very poor." After hearing the task, Alan's first reaction was that it was over. She really didn't know how to cook.
"The thought is the most important. Even if it's just cutting a fruit plate, it's okay. The main thing is to express gratitude." The staff said.
"Cut the fruit plate? I'm pretty good at peeling fruit, but I can't be so perfunctory. Okay, I'll try my best. I hope Nie Wei won't ignore me after eating the food I made." As she said this, Alan also made an innocent expression to the camera, and the men on the scene smiled unconsciously.
Soon it was the day for Alan to visit the set.
Sitting in the nanny car on the way to the set of "Speeding Scandal", Alan looked nervous under the camera.
The staff of the program asked Alan why she was so nervous, and the girl replied: "Will we make Nie Wei angry if we visit the set rashly like this, and I don't know if Nie Wei will like the food I cook."
The first sentence was obviously false. Alan knew that Nie Wei had agreed to let her visit the set, but the second sentence was completely sincere. Alan was really not confident in her cooking skills. Even though she tasted the food and felt that it was pretty good, she still couldn't erase her worries.
"Don't worry, it's okay." The staff comforted.
"I hope so." Alan's tone was still filled with worry, but for some reason, he was also looking forward to it.
Soon, the nanny car arrived at the set. Wu Ya got off the car and took out her mobile phone to call a staff member on the set, asking him to lead the way and bring everyone in the program group to the filming site of "Speeding Scandal".
"Hello everyone, this is the filming site of Nie Wei's new movie "Speeding Scandal". You see, there are busy staff all around. I heard that this is a super interesting comedy, and I hope my fans can support this movie. Okay, no more nonsense, Nie Wei is over there, and I heard that he is filming. Let's go over there later." Alan unconsciously lowered his voice after entering the set, and whispered in front of the camera.
"By the way, I also brought gifts for my colleagues on the set, dangdangdang, hamburgers, fried chicken and cola, I hope they like them." Of course, we couldn't just sit there and wait. The program crew was also prepared. There were a hundred servings of fast food so that everyone on the set could get some. While Nie Wei was filming, Alan led the program crew members to distribute food and cola to the idle people.
In the middle, they met two actors. Alan turned into a little host and interviewed them for a while, mainly talking about what Nie Wei was like in the crew. The other party didn't refuse, and smiled and said some good things about Nie Wei to the camera.
Soon, a familiar voice was heard on the set shouting for a break.
"Brother Nie Wei has finished shooting, let's go over there." After hearing this, Alan immediately urged the photographer to follow, and then trotted towards Nie Wei.
Soon Alan arrived at the shooting site, and then found that there were two people beside Nie Wei, Shu Chang and Xu Zheng, who had just finished shooting a set of shots. The two were watching the effects of the shooting at Nie Wei's place. The three of them saw Alan with a cameraman on his shoulders, and all of them showed puzzled expressions.
Of course, Nie Wei was acting, and Shu Chang and Xu Zheng were really a little surprised.
"Teacher Xu Zheng, Brother Nie Wei, Sister Shu Chang, hello." Under the gaze of these three people, Alan was under a lot of pressure. He took a deep breath and greeted the three people politely this time.
"Hello, Alan." "Hello, little girl." Shu Chang and Xu Zheng didn't know what Alan was doing, but they responded politely. On the contrary, Nie Wei pointed at the camera behind Alan and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What is this?"
The big brother carrying the camera was about to pop his eyes out. If he didn't know that Nie Wei already knew that Alan would come to visit the set and that this program was planned by Nie Wei, he would really believe that Nie Wei was completely unaware. This puzzled little expression made it impossible to see any flaws. No wonder Nie Wei was called an "acting monster" by many people in the circle. It's not without reason.
"I'm filming a variety show. The program team proposed a task to let me cook a meal for the person I am most grateful to. I chose you, Nie Wei." Alan explained with a hint of shyness on his face.
Nie Wei hadn't responded yet, but Shu Chang's eyes had already turned into a kind of inquiry, looking back and forth between Alan and Nie Wei, as if he wanted to see if there was any affair between the two. Fortunately, the camera was all focused on shooting Nie Wei at the moment, and Shu Chang's expression was not captured, otherwise anyone with a discerning eye would have noticed that Shu Chang was definitely jealous at a certain moment.
On the other hand, Xu Zheng on the side didn't think so much, and smiled and patted Nie Wei's shoulder and teased him.
"Are you sure you made the food yourself?" Nie Wei pointed to the lunch box in Alan's hand and confirmed.
"It was indeed made by Alan herself. From choosing the recipe to buying vegetables to making it, we filmed it all." The photographer on the side heard Nie Wei's doubts and immediately assured.
"What is this?" Nie Wei pointed to another packaging bag in Alan's hand.
In fact, Nie Wei didn't need to be asked, the obvious fast food logo on the packaging bag explained everything, but since Nie Wei asked, Alan naturally answered honestly that this was the food she bought for everyone.
"So that's how it is. Can I choose fast food?" Nie Wei suddenly laughed. This time it was Alan and the program team's turn to be dumbfounded.
