Chapter 401 401. Bow your head
Nie Wei put down his coat and answered the phone.
"Nie Wei, are you free? Can we meet up? I want to talk to you about something." Zhang Jizhong spoke proactively.
"Of course, I just got off work here, please tell me your address." Nie Wei did not refuse and agreed readily.
"Then let's meet at a place called Xianlai Yaqu Cafe at the east entrance of Heguang Road. This shop will be open until midnight." Zhang Jizhong reported the address without thinking. It was obvious that he had already thought about meeting. Place.
"See you soon." After hanging up the phone, Nie Wei picked up his coat, put it on, walked out, and said to the waiting Luo Kai, "First, take me to a cafe called Xianlai Yaqu at the east entrance of Heguang Road."
"It's so late, do you have an appointment?" Luo Kai nodded and asked doubtfully.
"Zhang." Nie Wei said a last name, and Luo Kai immediately understood. Then he laughed and guessed: "Is he here to beg for mercy? It seems that the crew responded very quickly."
"I didn't say anything on the phone. I think it's part of the reason, but there may be other things." Nie Wei replied.
"Something else? What else can happen?"
"I don't know now. I only found out after we went there and talked about it. Okay, don't guess anymore. Send me there first." Nie Wei patted Luo Kai on the shoulder and told him not to think about it. With this brain, he might not be able to figure out the reason even if he is given a month.
Half an hour later, Luo Kai drove the car to the door of the coffee shop and stopped. Nie Wei got out of the car wearing a mask and walked into the coffee shop like a leisurely stroll.
It was already after nine o'clock in the evening, and there was no one in the coffee shop. Nie Wei glanced at a young couple sitting in the corner, seemingly making love to each other. He just raised his head and glanced at Nie Wei, the guest who had just entered the room. Didn't pay much attention.
Nie Wei did not directly find a seat to sit down, but went to the waiter and asked if Zhang Jizhong was here.
The waiter and store manager recognized Nie Wei at this moment. The eyes of several little girls were as bright as the headlights of a car. They stared at half of Nie Wei's face tightly, not even willing to blink.
The store manager was more calm, but he was obviously a little excited. He even came over to shake Nie Wei's hand. This was obviously not the way he would treat ordinary customers.
Fortunately, the excitement was only for a short time. The service in this store was quite good. Soon a waiter came forward and took Nie Wei to the second floor. Zhang Jizhong was already here and was waiting in the private room upstairs.
Just as Nie Wei was walking on the stairs, she vaguely heard excited chatter coming from the counter behind her.
"It's really Nie Wei, his eyes are so bright."
"Yeah, like black onyx, the eyes are so beautiful."
"The bridge of his nose is also very straight, and he has a good figure. He is so handsome."
"Oh, I wish I could get an autograph later."
Nie Wei smiled and followed the waiter's footsteps, quickly arriving at the door of a private room on the second floor. As the waiter knocked on the door, Zhang Jizhong's voice immediately came from inside.
"Thank you." After thanking the waiter, Nie Wei walked into the box, only to find that not only Zhang Jizhong was in the box, but there was also a woman who looked to be in her thirties.
Nie Wei imagined that Zhang Jizhong might bring someone with him, but Yu Min should be brought with him. Why would he bring a woman with him? Nie Wei didn't quite understand.
Perhaps noticing the doubts in Nie Wei's eyes, Zhang Jizhong took the initiative to introduce to Nie Wei: "This is my wife, Fan Xin, who is also a director of CCTV. You know "Eastern Time and Space", it was my wife who did it. "
Nie Wei could see that Zhang Jizhong's face was full of pride when he introduced his wife. It's no wonder that this Fan Xin has a pure appearance and works behind the scenes. She and Zhang Jizhong obviously have something in common, plus his wife's work performance Being able to conquer such an excellent and successful woman can satisfy a man's desire to conquer.
After Zhang Jizhong's introduction, Fan Xin also took the initiative to shake hands with Nie Wei and said, "Hello, Director Lang Kun praised you a lot at CCTV, saying that you are a genius in programming. If you hadn't been so successful as an actor, , I think CCTV will recruit you immediately."
While Nie Wei was being modest, he was also mentally commenting on this woman, who was good at talking and building relationships. She may not be very familiar with Lang Kun, but using Lang Kun's name to praise Nie Wei was undoubtedly a good way to bring the two parties closer. method.
"Uncle Zhang, I didn't expect you to be a hidden beauty in a golden house. My sister-in-law is so beautiful that she can become a big star." Nie Wei said jokingly, and praised Fan Xin by the way. After all, they have come and gone.
But looking at Fan Xin, who was smiling like a flower, Nie Wei suddenly felt that this person's name was very familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere, but couldn't remember it for a moment. After thinking for a moment, Nie Wei suddenly had a light.
He finally thought about where he had heard this name before.
A big forest, haha, Nie Wei almost didn't laugh out loud, but he had a strong psychological quality, and he suppressed the smile. The two people opposite him were not aware of Nie Wei's inner thoughts at this moment.
"Fan Xin and I actually got the certificate in 2002, but we were busy at that time and didn't have time to hold a wedding, so we kept delaying it. We had just finished filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and I was about to take a break. In this free time, I just want to arrange a wedding for Fan Xin." At this point, Zhang Jizhong took Fan Xin's hand and looked at her affectionately.
Fan Xin's expression was a bit shy and she said nothing.
Nie Wei could tell that the relationship between the two was indeed very good at this time, but I'm afraid Zhang Dabeard would never have imagined that the dispute between them would reach that level in the future.
"Congratulations." Nie Wei put away his thoughts and congratulated immediately.
"Nie Wei, are you free to attend our wedding? Half a month later." Zhang Jizhong was obviously well prepared. He took out the invitation and handed it to Nie Wei. Fan Xin also took out something that looked like a candy box from her bag. Nie Wei took it and saw that it was indeed wedding candy.
"Okay, such a big wedding, I have to make time to enjoy the joy even if I don't have time." Nie Wei readily agreed.
Hearing Nie Wei's words, Zhang Jizhong and Fan Xin couldn't help laughing. Zhang Jizhong even asked Nie Wei to sing a blessing song at the wedding, but Nie Wei refused. He could attend the wedding, but not sing.
"Sorry, I'm going to go out for a while." Fan Xin found an excuse to leave the box as soon as they finished talking about the wedding.
When the door closed again, Zhang Jizhong coughed, and then said to Nie Wei with a little apology: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience I caused you some time ago. I don't know about this kind of private matter, otherwise it would not have caused such a misunderstanding now."
When Nie Wei heard this, he knew that the main show was coming.
Zhang Jizhong's attitude was very low, which was due to the deterrence generated by Nie Wei's identity and background. Just like Nie Wei's counterattack this time, he directly ruined the rare opportunity of an actor he was very optimistic about under his company. Even if Zhang Jizhong didn't care about Nie Wei, as the person in charge of the company, he had to take responsibility and couldn't make things worse, but affected the company's business.
Nie Wei didn't answer, but took a sip of coffee. Seeing this, Zhang Jizhong sighed and complained about Yu Min's brainless work in his heart. Otherwise, would he need to treat a junior like this in a low-profile manner, although this junior was not simple.
"I have already punished Yu Min, and I have also informed Hong Lei. If possible, I will act as a matchmaker. Nie Wei, when do you want to meet him? Tell me."
"That's not necessary. We have another director." Nie Wei said. Hearing this, Zhang Jizhong not only frowned slightly, but also said that he had already lowered his posture so much. Would Nie Wei not give in and have to fight him head-on?
But he soon breathed a sigh of relief because Nie Wei had not finished speaking.
"Director Yu, I understand this matter. Uncle Zhang, since you have taken action, I will accept any result. This matter is over."
"Over, of course it's over." Zhang Jizhong laughed and poured a cup of coffee for Nie Wei himself. After pouring it, Zhang Jizhong glanced at Nie Wei, and then asked tentatively: "What about Xiaoguan's movie..."
"What Xiaoguan, what movie?" Nie Wei looked up and looked at Zhang Jizhong with a confused face.
Zhang Jizhong was also stunned when he saw this. Did Nie Wei really not know? It's impossible, but looking at Nie Wei's expression, there is no sense of falsehood. Did I wrong him?
Nie Wei's performance was too real, which made Zhang Jizhong feel a little nervous, but he had to talk about it, so Zhang Jizhong organized his words and told Nie Wei about the replacement of the movie.
"Xiao Guan is an actor in our company. He was recently filming a play invested by your company, but he was replaced in the middle of the film. Nie Wei, you are a major shareholder of Huayi, can you help me find out the reason?"
"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I will ask Brother Zhonglei later. He is in charge of the company's operations on weekdays, so he must know." Nie Wei promised solemnly, and naturally threw the blame to Wang Zhonglei.
Zhang Jizhong kept staring at Nie Wei's expression. The change from surprise to confusion to the final calmness was quite natural. Zhang Jizhong couldn't find any falsehood in Nie Wei, but there was always a voice in his heart telling himself that Nie Wei must know about this.
"The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead." He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't bother to guess whether this matter was true or not. It was enough for him to get Nie Wei's guarantee now.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll wait for your good news." Zhang Jizhong thanked.
They had almost finished chatting. Fan Xin also came back at an appropriate time. The three chatted for a while. Seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock, Nie Wei immediately said goodbye.
The matter was resolved satisfactorily. Zhang Jizhong seemed to have regained his closeness with Nie Wei. He put his arm around Nie Wei's shoulders and went downstairs to pay the bill. At the same time, the clerks seemed to have finally mustered up the courage and asked Nie Wei for an autograph. Nie Wei was satisfied.
"Nie Wei, your popularity is really this." Walking out of the store, Zhang Jizhong gave Nie Wei a thumbs up and said with a smile: "The Return of the Condor Heroes will definitely be successful. With your popularity, it is worth at least two ratings points."
Nie Wei could tell from these words that this person was in a good mood now.
After bidding farewell to the couple, Nie Wei returned to his nanny car. Luo Kai was playing a mobile game. When he saw Nie Wei coming back, he put away his phone and looked at Nie Wei curiously.
"Zhang Jizhong wants to make up for the wedding and invite me to go." Nie Wei took out the invitation and waved it at Luo Kai, satisfying his curiosity.
"Does Zhang Jizhong have a wife?"
"Yes, a director of CCTV." Nie Wei replied.
"Then did he give in?" This was something Luo Kai was more curious about.
Nie Wei did not answer, but just smiled and nodded. Luo Kai was also happy to see this, and obviously understood the answer.
As for the movie role, Nie Wei never mentioned it to Luo Kai. Nie Wei had already planned it in his mind. He wanted me to let him go after giving him a sweet date. Don't dream. This matter is over. Even if Zhang Jizhong calls to ask about it in the future, Nie Wei is ready to evade it. Nie Wei will not be happy if he doesn't let the other party really suffer.
As for whether it will affect future cooperation, Nie Wei doesn't care. In the circle, Huayi's power is much greater than Jizhong Culture Company. If the other party wants its artists to have the opportunity to get involved in the film circle, it is not easy to bypass Huayi, and it will be more and more difficult in the future. It's not that there are no movies to act, but Huayi is destined to produce high-quality products. Bypassing Huayi will obviously bypass many opportunities.
Soon Luo Kai sent Nie Wei back to the apartment. Knowing that it was too late, Nie Wei didn't keep Luo Kai in the apartment for a while, and asked him to go home and rest quickly. After sending Luo Kai away, Nie Wei did not go back to the bedroom to sleep immediately, but took out his mobile phone and called Ma Dong.
After two rings, the phone was connected. Nie Wei smiled and said, "I knew you must not be asleep at this moment."
"How could I not be asleep? I just woke up." Facing his boss, Ma Dong ruthlessly complained, "Boss, what instructions do you have?"
"Just asking about the company's situation." Facing Ma Dong's complaints, Nie Wei smiled and didn't care.
"All the machines were in place last week, and the employees have been recruited. The photographers have already started physical training. The only imperfection is when our program will start recording." Ma Dong was full of grievances when he mentioned this.
After preparing for half a year, Nie Wei kept suppressing the recording, which made Ma Dong very depressed.
"Happy, organize the host team first, and we will officially start recording in another month." Nie Wei said.
"Is this confirmed?" Ma Dong was excited when he heard that he could start recording in another month.
"It's accurate, definitely accurate." Nie Wei was keeping a tight schedule. The reason for the delay was the Super Girls. Nie Wei knew that this period was completely dominated by the Super Girls. Any variety show would be cannon fodder. If it was recorded early, it would not be released, which would put more pressure on the program team. It would be better to put pressure on them now and make them feel depressed.
"Okay, I have the energy to work overtime today after hearing your news." Ma Dong smiled happily. Nie Wei's promise gave him a guarantee in his heart.
Just when Ma Dong was about to hang up the phone, Nie Wei asked Ma Dong another question, which made the little fat man look surprised.
Thanks to the book friend Youdianwei for the reward and support.
