Chapter 536 536. Acknowledgement

The staff on duty at Huayi was playing games when the phone on the table suddenly rang.

He looked up and saw that it was already past midnight. After complaining, the staff on duty still answered the phone.

"Hello, this is Huayi Company. If you have something to say, please tell me and I will pass it on tomorrow."

"Hello, we are from Nanhua Entertainment News. My name is Li Wen, and I am the editor-in-chief of Nanhua Entertainment News. I want to confirm a message with your company."

"Sorry, our staff have all gone off work and rested. If you have any news to confirm, please call us after 8:30 tomorrow morning." The staff answered in a businesslike manner, thinking that he didn't even check the time to confirm the news. Where can he ask you in the middle of the night?

Who has ever answered him like this before? Editor-in-chief Li Wen on the other end of the phone was anxious.

"I definitely can't wait until tomorrow. The news will be out tonight. Please help me. I just want to know if Nie Wei, the general manager of your company, is the only teacher who once wrote the book? This matter has spread on the Internet. We hope to get confirmation from your company or Nie Wei himself. If you can't confirm, please give me a way to contact Nie Wei, okay?" Li Wen asked earnestly.

"Mr. Nie? Mr. Nie's appointment has been scheduled for a week later. If you want to make an appointment, you can leave your company and contact number, and our staff will arrange it for you."

"Hey, don't you believe what I said!"

"How can you ask me to believe it?" The staff member took the phone with one hand and picked his ear with his little finger raised with the other hand, thinking that this kind of person is crazy to chase stars. He can come up with any excuse. What is the only teacher? Who is that?

Li Wen obviously didn't expect that he would be regarded as a liar. Under normal circumstances, he would have hung up the phone in anger, but today, facing the big news, he knew that he couldn't be impatient.

"I'm telling you seriously, I'm really Li Wen, the editor-in-chief of Nanhua Entertainment News. We're following a piece of news about Mr. Nie Wei from your company. If you don't believe it, please log in to the blog now and enter the keywords Nie Wei and Weiyi, and you'll know that I'm not lying to you."

This time, Li Wen's tone deliberately slowed down, and he was particularly serious. The staff listened to him half-believingly and cut out of the game, opened the browser, logged into the blog, and searched according to Li Wen's statement.

After a few dozen seconds, he was stunned!

The guy who claimed to be the editor-in-chief on the phone really didn't lie to him. Mr. Nie really made the news, and it was quite a big deal, and it was really related to that 'Weiyi teacher'.

Although he didn't read novels and didn't know what 'Weiyi teacher' meant, judging from the discussion of this topic, he knew that this matter was indeed not small.

"Sorry, I can't contact Mr. Nie for the time being. We will confirm it for you as soon as possible and reply to you after we get the news." The staff member knew that the matter was not small, of course, he did not dare to promise the other party anything. He quickly replied and hung up the phone immediately, and then called his supervisor's mobile phone.

People in this industry basically keep their mobile phones turned on 24 hours a day, and so does his supervisor.

When he told his supervisor about the matter, the supervisor knew how explosive the news was, because he knew the weight of the "only teacher" very well, because the other party's novels had been favored by many film and television companies, and even Huayi had their ideas. Unfortunately, the only teacher never sold the adaptation rights of the novels, and later disappeared, so everyone just let it go with regret.

But now his staff actually told him that Mr. Nie of his company was the only one, and this news really made him feel like pie in the sky.

"Husband, go to bed quickly after answering the phone, you have to go to work tomorrow morning." The sleeping next to him saw that the husband was still sitting blankly after answering the phone, so he advised.

"Wife, go to sleep first. I may have to attend a meeting tonight." The supervisor was awakened by his wife's words. He knew that he would not sleep well tonight. He looked for Wang Zhonglei's mobile phone and said to his wife beside him.

As soon as the voice fell, the supervisor's wife sat up from the bed with a look of suspicion.

"What's the matter? The company is still having a meeting so late?"

"A temporary emergency. It seems that someone on the Internet has rumored that our President Nie is Nie Wei. He has another identity. He used to be a writer and wrote several novels. Now it has been dug up by netizens. The media is looking for us to confirm."

"Is it true? Nie Wei has also written novels?"

"I don't know if it has not been confirmed yet, but if it is true, he is quite famous. By the way, the "Nirvana in Fire" that you like very much is said to be written by him."

"Oh my God, are you saying that Nie Wei is the only teacher?"

"It is very likely."

With his wife's eagerness to confirm, the supervisor called Wang Zhonglei and explained the situation.

Wang Zhonglei was half asleep, and was very angry when he was woken up by the phone call. He was waiting for the supervisor to scold him if it was nothing important.

However, after the supervisor briefly explained the matter, Wang Zhonglei's irritability was immediately forgotten.

"Contact all the senior executives in the company who can be contacted, and gather in the main conference room on the second floor of the company in an hour. Let me contact Nie Wei." Wang Zhonglei ordered, then got up and dressed.

"Is there an emergency in the company?"

"Yes, there are some things that I need to deal with." Looking at his wife Xiaorou who was woken up by him, Wang Zhonglei explained with apology.

"Oh, don't be too busy." Although she was used to her husband's busyness, Wang Xiaorou still remembered to give him a concerned advice.

Wang Zhonglei nodded, bent down and gently held his wife's cheek, kissed her forehead, and said, "The task of sending the children to school tomorrow will be handed over to you."

"Don't worry."

Wang Zhonglei took the car keys, put on his clothes, and went downstairs to call Nie Wei's temporary private mobile phone number in Baodao. The call was soon connected, and Nie Wei's somewhat vague voice came from the other end, obviously also woken up.

"Nie Wei, tell me, are you the only one?" When Wang Zhonglei said this, his voice had a suppressed excitement.

"Ah?" Nie Wei asked in confusion: "What is the only one?"

"Isn't the only one you? It's the teacher who wrote the book." Wang Zhonglei felt a little disappointed. Could it be that Nie Wei is really not the only one, and are the speculations on the Internet really just a special coincidence?

When he got the news, he was really surprised, because if Nie Wei was the only one, it meant that the three novels he created at the time were very likely to become Huayi's resources, and these three novels were recognized as high-quality IPs in the industry, which had attracted countless entertainment companies to compete for them.

At this moment, hearing Wang Zhonglei's confirmation again, Nie Wei, who was gradually sobering up, also remembered.

Isn't this talking about his former pen name?

"Ah, yes, that was a pen name I used before. If you didn't mention it, I would have almost forgotten it. By the way, how did you know it?" Nie Wei said later, and his mind was finally completely clear, and he immediately asked the key point.

Wang Zhonglei did not answer immediately. He was still sorting out his roller coaster mood, from the initial great joy, to the loss, and now suddenly got the final confirmation straight to the sky, up and down, making him almost have a heart attack.

"It was on the Internet. Someone guessed it on the Internet. Now a bunch of media are waiting to find you to confirm." After sorting out his mood, Wang Zhonglei explained and immediately asked: "Are the adaptation rights of the three novels still in your hands?"

"That's for sure." Nie Wei answered as a matter of course.

When I wrote those three novels, I wanted to occupy some IPs with high future value in advance. I did it purely with the idea of ​​seizing the opportunity. However, long novels are indeed too time-consuming. At the beginning, it was okay when Nie Wei was not busy, but as his popularity increased, it became difficult to find time to write novels again.

Especially when writing the novel "Nirvana in Fire", Nie Wei also felt that he was powerless, so after completing this work, he simply gave up the idea of ​​continuing to write novels to occupy IPs.

As he became busier and busier, he gradually forgot about this matter. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhonglei reminded him today and he remembered it.

"It's good that it's here, it's good that it's here." Wang Zhonglei finally put his pounding heart back to his heart, and said with a smile: "You guys caused the trouble, and now we are the ones who have to clean up the mess. The media is so anxious that they want to find you to confirm this news. Do you think it needs to be announced?"

Nie Wei had already gotten up at this time, opened the laptop on the table, and looked at the speculations on the Internet.

"There is no need to hide it. If you find it, just admit it directly. You can do public relations according to this statement, and I will make a statement on the blog to clarify this matter." Nie Wei said, after all, this is not something shameful, and there is nothing to deny.

"Well, let's do it this way first, and you should also be prepared. The Taiwan side will definitely get the news soon, and you will also be annoyed." Wang Zhonglei reminded him, and then hung up the phone.

Nie Wei looked at the speculations of many netizens online, and felt that these friends were sometimes quite scary when they were serious. They could actually guess his identity from these clues, and he also felt very funny. The "small account" that he had hidden for so long was actually exposed because of an accidental shot in the program.

Now the news about the connection between him and Weiyi on the Internet has even surpassed his wonderful performance in the program tonight. Is this considered stealing his own limelight?

Thinking of this, Nie Wei logged into his blog and posted a brief statement.

"After many years, I didn't expect that this secret was still discovered by netizens with sharp eyes. Weiyi is indeed a pen name I used before. I was young and wild, and I had many fantasies. I wanted to record them in words. Fortunately, many book friends shared them with me at the time. This is my honor."

A simple statement immediately caused a wave on the blog.

Nie Wei admitted that Weiyi was really him, and the netizens' speculation was actually correct.

"Nie Wei is really the only one. I knew that he must be so talented."

"I was surprised and a little disappointed. The surprise was that my only two idols turned out to be the same person. Unfortunately, Nie Wei is really the only one. He is so busy that I am afraid he will have fewer opportunities to write books in the future."

"Don't feel sorry. Brother Nie Wei used to describe stories for us with a pen, and now he uses a camera to describe stories for us. Whether it is an author or a director, brother is the best!"

"You are so right!!!"

"I agree."

Some netizens began to fantasize and felt that if Nie Wei played the characters in his novels, it would be super exciting.

"I want to see Nie Wei play Mei Changsu. He will definitely interpret the most perfect Mei Changsu in my heart."

"That's right. Nie Wei should invest in "Zhu Xian" soon. The TV series must bring Bi Yao back to life."

"Ghost Blows Out the Light can also be filmed. I want to watch Nine-story Demon Tower and Jingjue Ancient City!!! You wrote the book, and you will definitely be able to film the scenes that best fit our fantasies."

There are also some pure book fans who left messages under Nie Wei's blog, either to revive Bi Yao, or not to let Mei Changsu die, or to hope that the story of Ghost Blows Out the Light can continue, and not let Hu Bayi, Fatty and others retire so early.

The pen name Weiyi, which had been gradually forgotten, glowed even more brightly because of Nie Wei's star halo at this time. Countless book fans who had followed the three novels at the beginning finally found an outlet for venting. It took only an hour for Nie Wei's blog to post this statement, and the number of comments below exceeded tens of thousands, and the number of likes was even more, close to 100,000.

On the hot search list, following Nie Wei and Weiyi, related hot search terms such as Nie Wei admits, Nie Wei is Weiyi and so on also quickly followed the list, occupying half of the hot search list in just a few hours. After all, Nie Wei's aura at this time added too much to this pen name. From the moment Nie Wei admitted it, Weiyi's pen name was no longer a simple pen name.

This is also the main reason why the media is so enthusiastic.

If it was just Weiyi's identity that was exposed, the media would not be so enthusiastic, but Weiyi was linked to Nie Wei, a super popular star, so this matter is very unusual.

Even many media even temporarily changed the headlines prepared for Nie Wei and "Infinite Challenge" to the matter of Nie Wei being Weiyi. Naturally, the headlines prepared before could not be abandoned, but were only placed on the second page, so when people got up early the next day to buy newspapers, they found that today's entertainment section Nie Wei's news occupied half of the country again.

The media's enthusiasm is because of the public's pursuit, and the public's enthusiasm comes entirely from spontaneity.

Lao Mao is the manager of a bookstore. This morning, when he came to the bookstore, he found something unexpected: there was a queue in front of his small bookstore.

This might be possible if a famous writer released a book, but today he didn't hear that any writer released a work, and he didn't get any news at all.

He asked curiously, well, these people actually wanted to buy some old books from a few years ago.

Thanks to Qiu Ye Liang Yue, 0773 for the generous reward!
