Chapter 377 377. Filming of The Condor Heroes begins (Part 1)

It was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the weather was unusually sunny.

The filming of The Return of the Condor Heroes was scheduled to start today.

Early in the morning, I saw the actors entering and leaving Jizhong Culture Company. Many media reporters were ambushed at the company's door and had a great time taking photos.

"The one who just passed by was Kong Lin, right? I heard that her boyfriend is one of the investors of this TV series."

"I know, the one called Tiefu, when the relationship was exposed, it was our magazine that did the first-hand news."

"Hey, who was the man who just passed by?"

"Which newspaper are you from? You don't even know Liu Naiyi, and you're a reporter."

"Is he famous?"

"That's right... ahem."

"Oh my god, the one who just passed by was Meng Guangmei, did you take photos of her? Did you take photos of her?"

"Why are you so excited? Nie Wei, Lin Yifei and the others haven't come yet. The fun is yet to come."

The reporters took photos of the stars and gossiped, and inside the company, the staff who had been arranged long ago also invited the stars to the conference room specially prepared to entertain them.

"Brother Wang, hello, hello." When Liu Naiyi was brought into the conference room, the first person he saw was Wang Luoyong.

"Naiyi, come and sit down." Wang Luoyong greeted Luo Naiyi with a smile. The two had worked together before and were considered friends.

"This is Miss Meng Guangmei, right?" After Liu Naiyi sat down, he saw the beautiful woman next to him who looked very elegant. He immediately recognized her and took the initiative to greet her.

However, compared with Wang Luoyong's enthusiasm, Meng Guangmei seemed a lot colder in the face of Liu Naiyi's greeting. She nodded slightly and said "hmm", and then continued to lower her head to fiddle with her mobile phone.

Liu Naiyi was a little embarrassed, but Wang Luoyong next to him was very good at dealing with people. He pulled Liu Naiyi to chat and eased his embarrassing situation.

As more and more people came, the conference room was gradually half full. There were people like Liu Naiyi who liked to take the initiative to ask for favors, and there were also seniors like Wang Luoyong who sat there motionless. Of course, there were many people who seemed more restrained and hid in the corner silently without speaking.

It was not until Zhang Jizhong and director Yu Min came in that the lazy atmosphere in the conference room changed.

"Producer Zhang, Director Yu, I rushed here early in the morning because I am so looking forward to working with you." Meng Guangmei, who had been acting cool just now, was so enthusiastic that she could melt people.

And Meng Guangmei's compliments were like a signal. Soon, the actors in the conference room greeted the two big bosses enthusiastically. Even the most reserved artists came forward to get familiar with them, even though they might not like it in their hearts, but there was no way, this was the survival rule of the entertainment industry.

Yu Min greeted everyone with a smile, and seemed very approachable, but Zhang Jizhong on the side seemed a little distant. Although he also greeted everyone, he could talk more with those who had worked with him before or were more famous. For those who were unknown, he simply greeted them and stopped talking.

Nie Wei arrived at Zhang Jizhong's company half an hour before the scheduled time notified by Zhang Jizhong. He thought he was early, but when he was led to the meeting room by the staff, he found that many people came earlier than him.

"Nie Wei is here, come in." Zhang Jizhong looked at Nie Wei who walked into the room with a smile on his face, stood up and took the initiative to greet him, which was completely different from his previous arrogant attitude.

According to some actors sitting there, Zhang Jizhong was still a cold-faced judge before, but when Nie Wei came in, he instantly became a KFC grandfather.

However, they didn't have much time to complain about Zhang Jizhong's attitude before and after. As soon as Nie Wei appeared, he immediately became the focus of everyone.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm here on time." Under the gaze of everyone, Nie Wei looked very relaxed, and smiled and greeted Zhang Jizhong, then looked at the actors on the side. Without Nie Wei saying anything, Zhang Jizhong on the side understood Nie Wei's meaning and took the initiative to introduce him.

"This is your brother Wang. He plays Guo Jing in the TV series this time. You two have a lot of scenes together. You should get close to each other during the dinner."

"And this is your sister Kong Lin, who plays Huang Rong."

"This is Yang Rui..."

"No need to introduce. This is my senior sister. We worked together in Tian Long." Nie Wei interrupted Zhang Jizhong and smiled and hugged Yang Rui, who had already stood up.

"Junior brother, you are doing better than me now. Remember what you said to take care of me." Yang Rui said with a smile. Nie Wei was stunned. He didn't expect that this woman still remembered the joke in her heart. However, he reacted quickly and immediately replied: "No problem. I will do my best to leave half a box of lunch for you."

"Are you asking for a fight? Senior sister, do I look like a big eater?" Yang Rui was amused by Nie Wei's answer. With a burst of laughter in the conference room, Yang Rui hesitated for a moment and gently patted Nie Wei's shoulder.

After the shooting, she seemed to be still worried. She secretly observed Nie Wei's expression and found that he was smiling and didn't react. She was relieved and a little excited.

Her worries were not unnecessary. After being in the circle for a long time, she gradually understood what "fear" meant. Last year, when she was shooting an advertisement, she worked with an old classmate who was doing well. At that time, she just made a few jokes about the old classmate and exposed some of his embarrassing things in school. As a result, she was notified of the termination of the contract by the advertising company half an hour later.

This incident also deeply taught her that many people's feelings will change as their status changes. Yang Rui is not sure whether Nie Wei is still the junior brother who would chat and joke with him in Tianlong, so She was very cautious in both her words and movements, but as she got along with him, she gradually relaxed.

Nie Wei's kindness made her feel really warm in her heart, especially when she saw several female celebrities showing obvious envy of her on their faces. This made Yang Rui feel a little proud in her heart. After all, not everyone can do it. For those who make friends with Nie Wei, even if she feels that she can only be a casual acquaintance with Nie Wei, even a slight difference can give her an inexplicable sense of superiority.

"Haha, it's very touching that the senior sisters and brothers recognize each other. In the TV series, you can barely be regarded as senior sisters and brothers. She plays Lu Wushuang and you play Yang Guo. They are both from the Tomb Sect." Zhang Jizhong said with a smile on the side. He glanced at Yang Rui twice more.

Zhang Jizhong then introduced Meng Guangmei, who plays Li Mochou, and Fu Miao, who plays Gongsun Lu'e in the film.

Meng Guangmei did not put on a cold expression this time, but held Nie Wei's hand enthusiastically. If Zhang Jizhong had not introduced the next actor, she would have been able to chat with Nie Wei all day long.

When Nie Wei retracted her hand, she even saw the unfinished look in this woman's eyes, and she felt cold sweat in her heart. She really didn't know where she came from so many topics.

In addition, Nie Wei also met many actors whom Tianlong knew, such as Bayin who played Jinlun Dharma King, and Gao Hu who played Huo Du.

Just when Zhang Jizhong was about to introduce the last two people to Nie Wei, the door to the conference room was pushed open again, and this time it was Lin Shishi who walked in.

"Shishi, hello." Nie Wei greeted the somewhat reserved girl.

"Senior Brother Nie Wei, hello." Lin Shishi's eyes couldn't help but light up when she saw Nie Wei, and her voice was a little rushed when she said hello, mainly because she suddenly met an acquaintance in a strange environment. , I always feel extra close to you.

The brief interaction between the two attracted the attention of countless people. Obviously, everyone was curious about why such a strange face like Lin Shishi had such a good relationship with Nie Wei.

A pure relationship between schoolmates and seniors? Many people expressed disbelief.

Couple relationship? Judging from the polite greetings of these two people, they don't look alike.

Could it be that this girl's background is not simple, and she is a business partner with Nie Wei's family? But looking at the girl's clothes, which were not bad but not extravagant either, many people shook their heads.

There was no precise answer, but it made everyone more and more curious about this girl. After Lin Shishi took her seat, there were actors around her who took the initiative to greet her and chat with her. At the same time, they tried to trick her into trying to find out the true relationship between him and Nie Wei.

However, Lin Shishi's answers were all the same, it was just a simple classmate relationship, but this was the one that everyone disbelieved the least. Many actors even felt that this little girl Lin Shishi looked innocent, but had such deep thoughts, that they themselves After such a cliche, the other party didn't let go at all, which is amazing.

How did they know that Lin Shishi was telling the truth.

The reason why Nie Wei is passionate about Lin Shishi is because he knows the achievements of this girl in the future, so he has a natural affinity for her. In his eyes, Lin Shishi is just an outstanding actress who has not yet grown up, not An unknown little girl in the eyes of everyone here.

There were still five minutes left before the agreed time. Lin Yifei walked into the conference room. She was also the last actor to arrive. Of course, the crew couldn't possibly have just twenty actors working on it. There were still some, but some would appear later or not. It was such an important actor that Zhang Jizhong didn't deliberately invite him.

As Lin Yifei entered the room, Zhang Jizhong hurriedly introduced the girl to everyone. The treatment was basically the same as Nie Wei. Obviously Zhang Jizhong also had a special preference for Lin Yifei, otherwise he would not have found her as the protagonist in two TV series. .

Lin Yifei's seat was right next to Nie Wei. After the girl sat down, Nie Wei smiled and stretched out his hand to give the girl a high five. This scene was also seen by everyone, but no one showed surprise or gossip. , after all, Nie Wei, Lin Yifei and Shu Chang are simply representatives of good friends in the industry. Men envy Nie Wei for having two such beautiful confidantes, while women also envy Shu Chang and Lin Yifei for finding such an outstanding man as Nie Wei. Bestie'.

Because of this, even if they go out on the street with their arms around their waists, the media probably won't bother to take pictures of them. Now they just give them a high five, which is completely normal. If the two sit next to each other but don't say hello, it would be news.

Seeing that all the actors had arrived, Zhang Jizhong also stood on the stage and said some words of encouragement to everyone. Ten minutes later, Zhang Jizhong walked down the stage, and Yu Min went up and spoke for another ten minutes. He also specifically mentioned Nie Wei and Lin Yifei by name. Of course, the expectations of the partners were also taken care of by several well-known veteran actors. In short, all aspects were taken care of very carefully.

When Yu Min finished speaking, Zhang Jizhong immediately waved his hand and took all the actors to participate in the worship ceremony. Then he held a small press conference on the spot of the worship ceremony. Under Zhang Jizhong's deliberate guidance, Nie Wei and Lin Yifei obviously He was the focus of attention from the media, especially Nie Wei. The media went crazy with joy when they saw him.

You must know that the box office statistics of just one day show that the box office of "Speed ​​Scandal" has reached 110 million. Although this is probably the limit of this movie, Nie Wei has undoubtedly become the youngest box office of 100 million yuan in China. Movie director.

What’s more, this movie is not only a good box office, but also has a good reputation. On a certain movie rating website, nearly 200,000 people voted for it, and on the premise of a full score of 10, this movie received a high rating of 7.7 points.

This is already the highest-rated movie in this year’s Lunar New Year. Compared with "The Promise", it is very miserable, with only 4.3 points. The wisdom of the great director Chen Kaige also fell to the bottom because of this movie. He even had to come out to explain that the content of the movie is fine, but it is a bit ahead of its time. In five years, when everyone looks back, they will definitely think that this is a good movie.

But unfortunately, most of the audience did not buy into his words.

"Is he explaining this or mocking our audience's low IQ? Five years later, will you give me the movie for free if I hold my current ticket?"

"Don't be funny, I just didn't understand the film, and you're making so many excuses."

"The five-year agreement between me and Director Chen? I'll just forget it after thinking about it."

The audience didn't buy it, and Director Chen couldn't save it no matter how hard he tried. In the end, The Promise, which was released later than Speed ​​Scandal, was taken off the shelves earlier. Although this movie won the current box office champion during the Lunar New Year, compared with its expected box office of 300 million, it didn't even reach the goal of 200 million, which is already a failure.

Everything is afraid of comparison. Nie Wei, who directed for the first time, took advantage of The Promise and Chen Kaige's fierce criticism, and was praised by the media, which made his popularity and fame rise to a higher level.

Huayi and Nie Wei were very happy about this, and there was also someone who was very happy, that was Zhang Jizhong.

Who was the first TV series that the newly-minted youngest billionaire director took on after the New Year? Wasn't it Zhang Jizhong? That's why he hurriedly called everyone here on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. He also wanted to take advantage of Nie Wei's momentum to promote his TV series.

Now seeing the reporters' enthusiastic questions, Zhang Jizhong knew that he was right.

Because the reporters were too enthusiastic, the news interview, which was originally planned to be only half an hour, was eventually extended to one hour. The male actors didn't feel anything, but the actresses wearing high heels were exhausted. What's more, some actresses wore very little for beauty. When they returned to the car after the interview, the first thing some actresses did was to ask the driver to turn on the heater to the maximum, and then quickly find a down jacket to wrap themselves up.
