Chapter 454 454. Ice and Fire

It was not easy to invite Nie Wei for the first time, so Cai Yinong would not just find a random restaurant. After Nie Wei accepted the invitation, she immediately mobilized her connections and booked a table at a famous private restaurant in Mingzhu.

In addition to her own attendance, Brother Hu and Yuan Hong were also brought along, one because the two guys were more or less familiar with Nie Wei, and the other was to bring them closer to Nie Wei. Not to mention what benefits they could get, at least maintaining this network would be good for their future development in the entertainment industry.

The time agreed by both parties was six o'clock the next evening.

Nie Wei did not have the airs of some big bosses who had to play for more than ten minutes even though they agreed to meet at six o'clock. He arrived at the restaurant early at five fifty, but when he arrived, Cai Yinong and others had been waiting for a long time.

After a round of greetings, both parties took their seats.

"Boss Nie, I haven't congratulated you on your achievements this year. Speeding Scandal won three Golden Horse Awards, and The Return of the Condor Heroes will definitely be the runner-up in ratings this year." Cai Yinong smiled and complimented Nie Wei.

"It's a pity that it still didn't surpass The Sword." Nie Wei replied. When he mentioned the final ratings of The Return of the Condor Heroes, his tone was helpless.

There is not much time left before the end of the year, and there are no new TV series that will be broadcast on satellite TV stations across the country. So unless there is a miracle, the result is basically determined, and this year's ratings champion still fell on the anti-Japanese drama The Sword at the beginning of the year.

When this TV series ended, the average ratings were 10.7, while the average ratings of The Return of the Condor Heroes were 10.2, losing by 0.5.

It's absolutely a lie to say it's not a pity. I heard that Zhang Da Huzi was depressed for several days because of this.

"It's just a little bit off. It's all luck. If The Return of the Condor Heroes was broadcast at the beginning of the year, it might have surpassed The Sword." Cai Yinong didn't expect Nie Wei to be so competitive. She felt sorry for the runner-up in the annual ratings, but she reacted quickly and made amends immediately.

Nie Wei smiled after hearing this. This kind of Ah Q spiritual victory method is meaningless. If you lose, you lose. There are not so many ifs. However, Nie Wei also felt a little pity in his heart, but he didn't care too much. He simply took the opportunity to change the subject.

"Haha, don't just talk about me. Didn't the Chinese Paladin that we cooperated at the beginning of the year also enter the top five of this year's ratings list? I am looking forward to working with you, Mr. Cai, next time."

"Haha, that's also because of you and Xixi. Otherwise, how could we get such a good result with these two guys? But thanks to you two, that TV series has made these two people a little famous." Cai Yinong laughed happily, and pointed out Brother Hu and Yuan Hong intentionally or unintentionally.

"Mr. Nie, I'll toast you a glass. Thank you for your care." Brother Hu raised his glass and toasted Nie Wei. He was so popular this year, thanks to Nie Wei. The Legend of Sword and Fairy at the beginning of the year was not to be mentioned. Later, he participated in "Back to 20" and played one of the leading actors. He attracted a lot of attention from the media and the public, which made him more popular.

In addition, it is only a month away from the release of "Back to 20", and Huayi's publicity has also begun to work hard. The Internet is full of promotional videos of this movie. As one of the leading actors, Brother Hu naturally has a lot of scenes. The wonderful editing has made this young man's popularity rise to a higher level recently.

After the movie is released, I believe his popularity will get a qualitative leap, and all this is because of the cooperation with Nie Wei. Brother Hu is of course very grateful.

This is also the main reason why Cai Yinong invited Nie Wei so enthusiastically after getting the news about Nie Wei, because she is also the actual beneficiary of the success of cooperating with Nie Wei.

Hu's action made Yuan Hong on the side react, and he quickly said thank you to Nie Wei.

Yuan Hong's gratitude was even simpler. Nie Wei's words made him the third male lead. It was also because of this that the company later launched another TV series, and he successfully got another good opportunity.

At first, Yuan Hong didn't think much of it, thinking that it was natural to get this role, until one day he suddenly heard a piece of news. It turned out that the TV series had been prepared before "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but at that time the company discussed giving Yuan Hong a villain role.

It was because Yuan Hong filmed "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and performed very well that the company temporarily changed its decision and changed Yuan Hong to a positive role, and it was a very exciting and interesting role in this TV series.

At this time, Yuan Hong realized how fortunate he was, and he was also grateful to Nie Wei who gave him the opportunity.

As the noble man of these two people, Nie Wei naturally would not put on airs. He raised the wine glass in his hand, clinked it with both of them, and then drank it all.

Putting down the wine glass, Cai Yinong next to him immediately wanted to refill Nie Wei's glass, but Nie Wei stopped him with his hand.

"Today we are having a private gathering. I just drank a glass because I admire them. I think Hu Ge and Yuan Hong are both very good and promising actors. They will definitely go higher and further in the future. As for the wine, one glass is enough. Please change the rest to juice for me." Nie Wei said with a smile.

Hu Ge and Yuan Hong, who were listening to Nie Wei's words, were very moved. They really didn't expect that Nie Wei, who didn't like drinking, would drink a glass with them.

And those encouraging words. Although Nie Wei was younger than them, he had achieved a lot. These words didn't make the two feel abrupt at all. On the contrary, they accepted them very naturally and were very excited.

Cai Yinong laughed even more happily. Nie Wei didn't drink, which was a kind of closeness in her eyes. Just like Nie Wei said, this was a private party, and the participants of a private party should be friends anyway.

Nie Wei's friendly attitude made the atmosphere of the party more enthusiastic. After the meal, both the host and the guests were happy.

"By the way, Yao Xian is also in Mingzhu recently. If you have time, we can get together tomorrow." Cai Yinong suddenly asked when the group came out of the hotel to wait for the car.

"Yao Xian came to Mingzhu to supervise the production of "Chinese Paladin 4"?" When Nie Wei heard Cai Yinong mention Yao Xian, he immediately thought of Chinese Paladin 4. According to the time, this game should have started production.

Cai Yinong was obviously stunned for a moment. Obviously, she didn't expect that Nie Wei would guess the result after she only provided such a little information. She was also very surprised that Nie Wei was so concerned about the single-player game industry that he even knew the news that Chinese Paladin 4 had started production. She originally thought that Nie Wei was so good at online games that he would only pay attention to online games.

"He is indeed here to supervise the production of Chinese Paladin 4, but he is just a figurehead. I heard that this game is still handed over to the company in Mingzhu. However, he is the father of Chinese Paladin after all. If he comes to take over for a few days, the game can be printed with his name in the post-production, which can also be regarded as a kind of publicity. Lao Yao is still very popular in the game circle." Cai Yinong explained.

"Okay, let's make an appointment tomorrow morning. I'll take the afternoon flight to Kyoto." Nie Wei was very interested in the production of stand-alone games, so he agreed after thinking about it.

Cai Yinong didn't comment on this. It was enough for Nie Wei to agree. It didn't matter whether it was in the morning or in the afternoon. Yao Xian had plenty of time anyway.

"I'll call Yao Xian now. They are IT guys, and they must be the most energetic now." Cai Yinong took out his mobile phone. Although it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, Cai Yinong had been in frequent contact with Yao Xian because of the Fairy Sword, so he was also very clear about Yao Xian's life pattern.

Nie Wei smiled and thought of his game producers at iFlytek.

This group of people also likes to stay up late to write code, and then make up for sleep in the daytime. Nie Wei is in such good health that he feels unbearable after working with them for a week.

Soon, Cai Yinong's phone was connected. He said that there was still time for the party, and Yao Xian agreed very happily.

"Teacher Yao, I wonder if I can go to Shangruan for a visit tomorrow." Nie Wei suddenly asked after he took the phone and exchanged a few words with Yao Xian.

Although Yao Xian was a little surprised, she agreed readily.

After hanging up the phone, Nie Wei returned the phone to Cai Yinong and explained: "I want to see the progress of the Chinese Paladin IV. After all, it is a stand-alone game that I like very much."

"Haha, I understand. Brother Hu and Yuan Hong also sat in front of the computer and played a little bit, but they played an online game, the "League of Legends" you made. Not only did they play it themselves, but they also organized many employees of the company to participate. I heard that they organized a team." Cai Yinong looked like "I understand", and did not forget to bring up the story of Brother Hu and Yuan Hong.

"Mr. Nie, it's because the game you made is fun." Brother Hu said with a smile.

"It's good that you like it. If there is a chance, we can have a friendly match or something. Tangren Team VS Huayi Team, it sounds good." Nie Wei replied with a smile, which also aroused the interest of Yuan Hong, who was standing beside him. He immediately asked: "Boss Nie, can we really play a friendly match together?"

"No problem, there are many people who like "League of Legends" here."

"That's good for the relationship. Let's communicate more at that time."

Cai Yinong was very surprised. She didn't expect that she would be separated in the end, and there was such a good progress. She was originally a person who opposed employees playing games at work, even in her free time. She was a little uncomfortable, but this time she would go back to encourage employees and practice more skills.

I thought that my company and Huayi would often play friendly matches. Isn't this also a good activity to promote feelings? The key is that it doesn't cost much phone bills. It's just that this degree must be mastered, just like the leader playing chess. You can't be too bad to let the leader feel competitive, otherwise it will be boring. Of course, you can't be too good. If you always beat the leader, will the leader be happy?

With this tangled thought in mind, Cai Yinong got on the car and left the hotel, while Nie Wei also returned to the hotel.

There was no conversation overnight. The next morning, Nie Wei got up early, first doing routine exercises for an hour in the hotel room, then washing up and having breakfast. It was already 7:30. After changing clothes, Nie Wei took Luo Kai to the agreed coffee shop. When they arrived at the scene, Cai Yinong and Yao Xian were already there.

"I've been waiting for you, come on." After seeing Nie Wei, Yao Xian smiled and waved at him.

Nie Wei and the producer haven't seen each other for half a year, but the other person's appearance has not changed much. Except for the change from spring clothes to winter clothes, he is still so thin, but his eyes are still so bright, and he looks very energetic. .

The three of them got together, and the main topic revolved around the fairy sword. They kept chatting for two hours. Seeing that the time was almost ten o'clock, Nie Wei once again made a request to go to Shangsoft to take a look.

"Of course I welcome Mr. Nie's interest. It just so happens that the soft food we serve is not bad. How about we get together in the cafeteria at noon. Mr. Cai will come too?" Yao Xian replied hospitably.

"Okay, it just so happens that I want to see what kind of story Xian Si is." Cai Yinong replied with a smile.

Shangruan is part of the Daewoo Group. It is a relatively outstanding stand-alone game production company in China in recent years. "Legend of Sword and Fairy III", which made great changes in the Sword and Fairy series, was produced by this company. The response was very good, and then they They also made the side story of Xian San and are now working on "Legend of Sword and Fairy IV". It can be said that this is already a production team with rich experience in stand-alone games.

Nie Wei's appearance at Shangsoft really surprised the Shangsoft employees, especially some young female staff. Their faces turned red with excitement after seeing Nie Wei, and they kept whispering there. So handsome, so handsome, so handsome.

Although these words were spoken in a low voice, Cai Yinong, Nie Wei and others were too close, so they all reached their ears.

Cai Yinong also winked at Nie Wei, with a strong sense of ridicule. Nie Wei's eyes were calm and his heart was magnanimous, because he was indeed handsome. This compliment was correct and proved that the girl has great discernment.

Yao Xian was a little embarrassed, while glaring at the girls who had been whispering and their faces flushed with excitement, he then said apologetically to Nie Wei: "I'm sorry, the employees are a little rude, mainly on weekdays. I’ve never seen anything like a celebrity.”

"Teacher Yao, when you put it like that, I feel like I suddenly became a giant panda in the zoo." Nie Wei smiled and replied. When the words fell, there was laughter around him, which made Nie Wei feel baffled. After all, this Nothing really funny.

Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last long. Nie Wei soon followed Yao Xian to the work area of ​​the Xiansi production team. This group of IT men seemed much calmer when facing Nie Wei, and even made Nie Wei feel a big feeling. There is a gap, it seems warm outside, but it is as cold as ice here.
