Chapter 398 398. Soldiers Assault?
As soon as Nie Wei entered the company door, he was spotted by several sharp-eyed young girls from the day before yesterday. These girls immediately stood up and greeted Nie Wei with their brightest smiles.
"Welcome Mr. Nie."
Nie Wei nodded slightly and walked directly towards the elevator without saying anything. The girls behind him kept watching Nie Wei walk into the elevator without looking back. They sat down with a look of disappointment on their faces, but it didn't take long for them to sit down. They started arguing quickly and excitedly about who Nie Wei was nodding towards just now.
Nie Wei didn't know that he was already the object of fantasy of several girls at the front desk when they were bored. He had just walked into Wang Zhonglei's office at this moment.
"Knowing that you are coming back today, I specially prepared the Bamboo Leaf Green tea for you. How about trying this batch of tea? I specially sent someone to Emei to buy this year's first crop."
"Then I want to try it." As he spoke, Nie Wei opened the tea can first, smelled the aroma of the dry tea leaves, praised it, and then started to play with the gaps on the table. Wang Zhonglei on the side was not in a hurry and silently While admiring Nie Wei's tea making, every time he watched this boy's tea ceremony, he couldn't help but admire their art. Not only the aroma of the tea brewed, but also the process of making tea was enough to make people have endless aftertaste.
Soon a pot of tea was brewed, and after pouring it out, Nie Wei poured Wang Zhonglei a cup first, and then poured himself a cup.
Picking up the tea cup and gently sniffing the fragrance of the tea juice, Nie Wei nodded with satisfaction. Wang Zhonglei had indeed bought a good product this time.
"The tea is good. The master who fry the tea is even better. The heat is just right. The fishy smell of the tea leaves is gone. The fragrance is sweet but not spoiled at all. Brother Zhonglei, you really bought the best tea this time." Nie Wei He took a sip and thought about it for a long time before praising it with a satisfied look on his face.
Wang Zhonglei was extremely happy after hearing this. He secretly thought that he spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy such a small pot of tea. It was indeed worth the money. There are not many tea leaves that can make Nie Wei scream the best.
"As long as you like it, I'll bring it back to you for a rest, right? I bought this tea specially for you anyway." Wang Zhonglei also took a sip of tea. He didn't know whether it was because of Nie Wei's previous words or because he was tasting the tea. My skills are improving day by day, and I feel that the tea I just drank is very good.
Nie Wei accepted Wang Zhonglei's gift unceremoniously, and then asked Wang Zhonglei why he had rushed to bring him to the company.
"What else could it be about? It's just about your new movie. You didn't talk about it on the phone. I can only call you over to talk to you in person. You don't know. It doesn't matter if you hang up the phone. I'll answer it." I didn't sleep all night after I got your call. I was just thinking about the content of your movie. Come and have a chat with me." Wang Zhonglei said.
At this time, Nie Wei naturally refused to sell out, so he briefly told Wang Zhonglei the story he wanted to film.
"My story mainly tells the story of a seventy-year-old grandma who suddenly transformed into her twenty-year-old self due to an accident. Having regained her youth, she did many things that she did not dare to do when she was young, and made up for it. The regret in my heart, and finally the story of finding myself again because of my family.”
In addition to roughly telling the story to Wang Zhonglei, Nie Wei also told some of the settings. After all, this movie has been filmed in South Korea and China, and the results of the two movies are also very good. There are two Movies serve as a model. It can be said that the story that Nie Wei came up with was very mature from the beginning. Even after hearing it, Wang Zhonglei felt that it was ready to start filming.
Of course, this was just a momentary feeling in his heart. As the actual operator of the company, he knew that making movies should be rational rather than emotional, and he should not be too impulsive. At least he had to wait for Nie Wei to come up with the specific script and discuss it with everyone. .
But Wang Zhonglei soon turned his attention to other aspects, such as how much money the film would need.
"Fifteen million should be enough." Nie Wei replied.
"Where are the actors?" Wang Zhonglei continued to ask.
"I have chosen the heroine, Lin Yifei. She has done too many TV dramas and it's time for her to change. As for the two male leads, I haven't thought about it yet, but for the roles of the elderly, I have taken a fancy to a few old dramas. Gu, I just don’t know if he is willing to act." Nie Wei replied.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhonglei laughed loudly and said: "As long as we offer a good salary and your reputation, why are they unwilling to act? Don't worry, just give me a list. I will help you go to Qiao for this matter." I'll do it for you."
After finishing speaking, Wang Zhonglei suddenly looked hesitant. It wasn't until Nie Wei signaled him to speak directly that he expressed his concerns about Lin Yifei's acting skills.
"As you said, this is a character whose mental age reaches 70 years old. Lin Yifei is a good kid, but after all, she has never acted in a movie, and she has no experience in this aspect of the role. Can she take on this role?"
"Shu Chang had no experience at the time, but her photography was very good. Believe me, Lin Yifei will be fine, and this girl works hard enough. After I told her about this, she proposed to go to a nursing home to experience life. , By the way, remember to call the public relations department for this matter." Nie Wei replied with a smile, but in his mouth, he clearly arranged for Lin Yifei to go to the nursing home, but it turned out that Lin Yifei went to the nursing home voluntarily.
However, Wang Zhonglei sounded quite satisfied with this change. Regardless of whether the girl can do it now or not, it is quite reassuring to see her working hard, not to mention that there is Nie Wei. With him guaranteeing it, it seems that he is worried. It's a bit redundant. At least until now, everything Nie Wei promised has been fulfilled one by one.
Then the two talked about Yu Min and Lin Yifei. Wang Zhonglei also criticized Yu Min for this, thinking that this director was too serious and didn't know how to take care of the actors' emotions. Of course, he agreed with Nie Wei's idea that he didn't want to make a TV series for the time being, and even wanted to raise his hands and feet to agree.
In Wang Zhonglei's view, Nie Wei should make movies with such high value. Making TV series is simply a waste of life.
The two chatted for an hour and a half before Nie Wei left Wang Zhonglei's office. On the way back to the lounge, he met Wang Baoqiang and said hello.
"Brother Nie Wei, when did you come back?" Wang Baoqiang said with a big white tooth, smiling.
"Just this morning, I came to the company as soon as I got off the plane. Where are you going?" Nie Wei patted Wang Baoqiang on the shoulder and invited him to sit on the bench in the corridor. The main reason was that the height difference between the two was more than 20 centimeters. Nie Wei lowered his head and didn't feel anything, but he knew that Wang Baoqiang must be very tired to look up and talk to him like this.
Wang Baoqiang sat down and rubbed his neck subconsciously, which made Nie Wei laugh. Then the two talked about their recent work.
When it comes to work, Wang Baoqiang's expression is obviously a little disappointed. Nie Wei asked carefully and found out that this young man is "unemployed" again.
"Sister Fan actually found two dramas for me, but I don't like them. I want to make martial arts movies, like Li Lianjie's." Wang Baoqiang spoke his heart out to Nie Wei, who has always taken good care of him.
Hearing Wang Baoqiang's words, Nie Wei couldn't help laughing and asked with a smile: "Are there any martial arts movies looking for you?"
"No." Wang Baoqiang looked very embarrassed. Nie Wei asked the point at once. There was no martial arts movie looking for him at all.
It's no wonder. Bao Bao is not a future super comedy star. He is just a newcomer who became famous overnight because of a supporting role. Although he is popular, he is also very "floating". No director dares to use him as a box office guarantee. What's more, this guy's appearance is indeed a bit bad. The popular martial arts dramas now require either masculinity or coolness, and he is not related to either.
"So, if there is a play, just shoot it. It's better than being idle." Nie Wei concluded very concisely. To put it bluntly, you, Wang Baoqiang, are not at the stage where you can choose a play.
Wang Baoqiang was very depressed about this, but he still didn't give up. He asked Nie Wei if he could take him with him when shooting a martial arts film next time.
Nie Wei was helpless and said that he had no plans to shoot a TV series next time. If he had to shoot, it would be a movie. He could arrange a role for him at that time.
Wang Baoqiang asked if it was a martial arts film. Nie Wei shook his head and said it was still a comedy. As a result, the child left with his head down. His lost look was so pitiful.
Wang Baoqiang left, but he reminded Nie Wei that the work that really made Wang Baoqiang famous, "Soldier Assault", had not been filmed yet. Remembering that this was a TV series adapted from a novel, Nie Wei hurried back to his lounge and checked the Internet. Unexpectedly, there was really news about this.
It turned out that the original name of this novel was not "Soldier Assault", but "Elna Assault", which means an international special forces organization confrontation competition, which is in line with the content of this TV series. After all, Xu Sanduo will become a special forces soldier in the future, and in the confrontation, the whole person has been sublimated and his own value has blossomed.
Moreover, this novel is not unknown. It was published in 2002. Combined with his later novel called "Soldier", the later Soldier Assault came into being.
If Nie Wei wants to buy it, the copyright of these two novels must be bought.
Moreover, the director of this TV series, Nie Wei, had also made up his mind that he had to find Kang Honglei, who was the original director of "Soldier Assault". His interpretation of military themes was very accurate, especially the TV series with heroic themes, such as "Passionate Years" that he had filmed, which is still talked about after more than ten years.
With this idea, Nie Wei naturally found someone to complete it as soon as possible. He immediately instructed Luo Kai to do this, and Luo Kai handed it over to the business department, and the business department quickly began to contact Lan Xiaolong, the author of the two novels.
What surprised Nie Wei was that he got a reply in the afternoon for what he had ordered in the morning.
Lan Xiaolong was very happy to talk to Nie Wei about the script, and said that he had time to talk at any time. On the contrary, Kang Honglei's response was a bit vague. He didn't say yes or no, but just said that he was very busy recently and couldn't spare the time.
Nie Wei thought it was normal. After all, he was a very famous director, and it was normal to be busy.
Nie Wei, who didn't take this matter seriously, asked the business department to continue to negotiate the director's time, while he arranged the time and place to meet with Lan Xiaolong.
Perhaps because he was a soldier, Lan Xiaolong's style was really swift and decisive, and he arranged for the two to meet directly the next day.
The meeting place was in a coffee shop.
Before the meeting, in Nie Wei's impression, although Lan Xiaolong was a novelist, from his profession and style, he was a masculine soldier. Unexpectedly, after meeting him in person, he found that he was a man with glasses and full of bookishness.
The communication between the two was very short. It was not that the talks broke down, but that it was too smooth. Everything was finalized in less than an hour. From the communication process, Nie Wei found that this writer couldn't wait to put his work on the screen.
Of course, Nie Wei did not treat Lan Xiaolong unfairly in terms of treatment. He gave Lan Xiaolong the remuneration of a first-line screenwriter and agreed to let him become the chief screenwriter of this TV series. This was also a point that touched Lan Xiaolong. After all, writers love fame, and this is his own work. He doesn't want to give it to others to adapt. It's great that Nie Wei agreed to let him be the chief screenwriter.
There are many details left, but the discussion was very smooth. In the end, both parties left with smiles.
Three days later, the two parties officially signed the contract. The process was very simple. It was completed in a conference room of Huayi Company. There was no reporter. After signing, Nie Wei invited Lan Xiaolong to the cafeteria for a meal, and then the writer took the contract home to start adapting the script.
Wang Zhonglei was very puzzled why Nie Wei suddenly signed two military novels?
"Of course it's for the TV series. Don't you think this story is very good? The feelings of soldiers, women admire, and men yearn for it." Nie Wei replied with a smile.
"Can this thing work?" Wang Zhonglei was still a little unconfident. After all, there are only a few military films that can survive in the past two years. If they don't fight the Japanese devils, can anyone really watch it?
Nie Wei had no doubts about this. This kind of good story would be a good story no matter which year it was put in, and it would definitely be successful, so he patted his chest and promised.
Seeing this, Wang Zhonglei said nothing more, and everything would be decided after the script came out.
In the following days, in addition to writing the script for the movie "Back to 20", Nie Wei also had to spare some time every day to talk to Lan Xiaolong to understand the situation on his side.
Lan Xiaolong's adaptation was also very smooth. It can be said that this story has existed in his mind for a long time. He has even repeatedly thought about some plots dozens or hundreds of times. Now that it is finally going to be realized, he will naturally write it as soon as he says.
In addition, Nie Wei would occasionally watch Super Girl. Zhang Liangying performed very well and had already entered the top eight in the country.
In this way, two weeks passed, Zhang Liangying had already entered the top six, Lan Xiaolong's script had been adapted into five episodes, and even Nie Wei's movie script was completed, and even the storyboards were drawn, but there was still one thing that had not made any progress.
