Chapter 553 553. Infinite Challenge Summer Celebration
When it comes to "Boys Over Flowers", Wang Zhonglei grinned subconsciously, and his smile was quite sincere.
"Nie Wei, your vision is really right. From the announcement of the filming to now, this comic has been the focus of media attention without the company's promotion."
"I think in addition to continuing the popularity of "My Love from the Star", this work itself has attracted a lot of attention. After all, its previous adaptations were very successful, especially the Taiwan version of "Meteor Garden", which can be said to be popular in Asia. So after we announced the adaptation of "Boys Over Flowers", the outside world was very optimistic about the cast except for some doubts about the cast."
Speaking of this, Wang Zhonglei glanced at Nie Wei who was drinking tea opposite him, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.
As for Nie Wei's talent, Wang Zhonglei naturally felt that it was extremely talented, but what made Wang Zhonglei admire Nie Wei even more was actually Nie Wei's vision.
In Wang Zhonglei's opinion, no matter how talented one is, there will be a limit. This idea does not mean that Nie Wei will have a time when he is "out of talent", but that a person will eventually slack off, just like Edison, who also slacked off in old age and the number of inventions gradually decreased.
But the vision is different, which will not change with age.
Just like Buffett, he is now over 70 years old and can still call the shots in the stock market. Isn't it based on experience and accurate vision?
And among these two, vision is the most important.
Now, in addition to showing his talent in various industries, Nie Wei is also gradually showing his accurate vision.
Including the previous "Kekexili", "Soldier Assault", and Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone", these are all Nie Wei's favorites, and now "Boys Over Flowers" is the same. Even before filming, it has already shown a trend of being a big hit.
Although it was just the first time he met Zheng Rong, Nie Wei's vision was so accurate, just like his vision in business investment. Sometimes Wang Zhonglei felt that Nie Wei was really a talent chosen by heaven, and he was good at everything.
"How did those young actors perform?" Nie Wei asked curiously. After all, he was the one who decided on these actors when he returned to Kyoto, so of course he had to pay attention to them.
After coming back to his senses, Wang Zhonglei smiled with satisfaction and replied, "They all worked hard and their acting skills have indeed improved. Although they are not very good, according to Li Dawei, they are good enough to act in this idol drama."
"That's good." Nie Wei also smiled with satisfaction.
Just when Nie Wei was about to change the topic, Wang Zhonglei seemed to be interested in the topic and was not ready to end it.
"Nie Wei, do you still remember those guys who were not selected at the beginning?" Wang Zhonglei asked.
"What's wrong?" Nie Wei looked at Wang Zhonglei in confusion.
Seeing Nie Wei's gaze, Wang Zhonglei knew that Nie Wei had remembered these people too much. He sighed secretly and said, "Didn't I organize them to form an idol group? You said it was a good idea at the beginning."
"Ah, I remember." Nie Wei's eyes widened slightly, revealing a look of realization.
"Do you want to go and see their training later? These kids are very hardworking. They may feel that opportunities are not easy to come by." Wang Zhonglei invited Nie Wei.
In fact, Wang Zhonglei saw very clearly that these kids worked so hard. On the one hand, as he said, they felt that opportunities were not easy to come by, but there was another very important point, that is, they were unwilling to give up.
After all, everyone was a teenager who entered the national finals. It can be said that they were one in a million. They would definitely not accept each other, so after being eliminated, they would work harder to prove that they were not worse than those four people.
"Okay." Nie Wei could probably guess what Wang Zhonglei was thinking, but he still agreed to it.
It was nine o'clock in the morning when Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei came to the practice room. Through the glass window, Nie Wei could see several big boys inside practicing dance steps hard, and the music was "Love Master" by Taiwan's little king Luo Zhixiang.
"How is it?" Wang Zhonglei stood aside, also watching several children inside practicing dance hard, and asked Nie Wei tentatively.
"Very hard." Nie Wei commented.
He carefully found that the foreheads of these big boys dancing in the dance studio were already full of sweat, and there were also sweat stains on their clothes. It was obvious that they had practiced for a long time to sweat so much. Combined with the current time, it can be seen that these boys are really working hard.
But at the same time, in Nie Wei's opinion, these big boys also have many shortcomings.
For example, the degree of tacit understanding is still not good enough, and the foundation of dance is still slightly weak, etc., but as long as these people maintain this attitude, I believe these problems will be solved soon.
"Brother Zhonglei, do you have any plans for them?" After watching for a while, Nie Wei did not push the door to enter the practice room, but turned his head to ask Wang Zhonglei who was still watching inside. Nie Wei could of course see that Wang Zhonglei seemed to like this group very much.
"I have some ideas, but I want to hear yours first." Wang Zhonglei smiled and asked back.
After hearing this, Nie Wei did not hesitate to say directly: "There are problems with the tacit understanding of several people, especially Fu Xinbo and Zhang Xiaochen. I saw that in these five minutes, they made no less than five coordination errors. It can be said that the two are not on the same channel at all. And Pubajia, Brother Zhonglei, you chose him to be the captain, right?"
"That's right." Wang Zhonglei nodded.
"It's a pity that he has no leadership ability. He only knows how to practice hard. Compared with Zhang Dianfei, he is more suitable to be the captain. When they rested just now, it was Zhang Dianfei who pulled everyone to encourage each other and took the initiative to pass water and towels to them. He has both unity and care for people."
"Really?" Although Wang Zhonglei used a puzzled tone, he recalled the scene he saw just now in his mind. He didn't think much of it, but was reminded by Nie Wei that Zhang Dianfei was really as Nie Wei said.
Of course, the final decision on the captain has not been made yet. After all, the team has not debuted yet, and Pubajia is only temporarily serving as the temporary captain. However, after listening to Nie Wei, Wang Zhonglei felt it necessary to tell their agent, Duoduo, to pay attention to Zhang Dianfei's performance. If it is really good enough, it is okay to let Zhang Dianfei be the captain.
"Go on, you must have other ideas." After listening to Nie Wei's words, Wang Zhonglei felt that he had made a lot of new discoveries, so he continued to urge Nie Wei.
"Dancing problem, several people still don't dance naturally enough, and lack strength."
"And the question of whether they can persist in their efforts."
Nie Wei's words made Wang Zhonglei stunned. Aren't these children persisting well?
Nie Wei explained: "You see they are working hard enough now, that's because they have a clear opponent, but Jing Bairan and others are not on the same route as this group of people after all. They will only develop further and further in the future. When they lose their goals, can this group of people still maintain their current momentum?"
"And don't you think their current efforts are empty? In fact, I think they are working so hard now, mostly because of their companions. If one day someone suddenly quits, it is estimated that the momentum that this group of people has just accumulated will fall apart immediately."
Nie Wei's words are not alarmist. Although these big boys in front of him are indeed working hard, they are also easy to slack off. After all, the goal that supports their efforts is too empty and can be easily lost.
"What do you mean?" Wang Zhonglei asked tentatively.
"Isn't there a five-member idol group now?" Nie Wei said.
"That's right."
"Then tell them that only four people can debut in the end." Nie Wei said directly.
Wang Zhonglei's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Nie Wei in surprise. It must be said that Nie Wei's method is really 'cruel', but it will also be very effective.
Wang Zhonglei already knows these big boys very well. They are all children with great self-esteem. I think Nie Wei's method is like a real announcement. It is estimated that the five people will fight harder. After all, no one wants to be the one who is eliminated in the end.
But whether to implement Nie Wei's plan in this way, Wang Zhonglei is still a little hesitant.
"Oh, there is another question." Nie Wei suddenly said.
"What's the problem?" Wang Zhonglei looked serious.
"They are a little too harmonious internally, which is not good." Nie Wei replied. This made Wang Zhonglei's eyes widen slightly, and his face was both surprised and confused. After all, when did internal unity become a bad thing?
"This is very interesting. Tell me in detail." After being surprised, Wang Zhonglei asked curiously.
"It's better for a group to have some internal disputes, as long as the surface is harmonious. After all, a group that advances and retreats together is not good for the company, and it will make the group easily out of control." Nie Wei said with a smile, but the meaning of his words made people feel no warmth.
Wang Zhonglei was stunned for a moment, then he also smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Help me make a detailed plan for the five-choice-four plan, I think it should be very useful." Wang Zhonglei said, obviously he had made up his mind.
In the end, Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei did not enter the practice room. The five big boys rested for a while and then continued to practice. I don't know that the two big bosses of the company stood at the door and watched them for a long time.
Nie Wei had another interview in the morning. Wang Zhonglei looked at the time and said goodbye directly.
Less than ten minutes after Wang Zhonglei left, Luo Kai came to inform Nie Wei that the reporter for the interview had arrived.
The reporter was a woman about thirty years old, with a beautiful face and capable temperament. As soon as she entered the room, she took the initiative to greet Nie Wei enthusiastically.
"Hello, Nie Wei. I am Wang Wei, a reporter from The Voice of Music. I am very happy to do this interview with you."
"I am honored too." Nie Wei shook hands with Wang Wei and then sat down face to face.
"First of all, congratulations to Nie Wei for his good performance in Japan. Nine songs in a row were listed on the Oricon chart in Japan. Only relying on online data, he rushed into the top ten of the Oricon chart. These are all good results that Chinese singers have never achieved. May I ask how did you come up with that seemingly crazy plan?" The interview lasted only fifteen minutes. Wang Wei didn't want to waste any time, so he immediately asked Nie Wei after sitting down.
"In fact, the crazy plans that everyone thinks are the result of many discussions in our board of directors. We will not joke about the singer's career, so it seems crazy, but in fact we are fully confident."
"Your answer makes me feel full of confidence." Wang smiled and complimented Nie Wei, and continued to ask: "The ten songs in the album were also created by you, and the styles are different. Did you really make this in just one week? I think many fans want to know the answer."
"Of course, because we don't know what style the fans will choose, so we can only create after the fans have determined the style. To be honest, during that period of time, my head almost exploded because of creating these songs. Fortunately, the fans are quite satisfied with the final works, which makes me very happy."
………
The 15-minute interview ended quickly. The process was very pleasant. Nie Wei rarely avoided the questions asked by Wang Wei and basically answered them directly, so she also got a lot of topics.
However, the interview went so smoothly that when the time came, Wang Wei still felt unsatisfied and wanted to continue asking questions, but her move failed. It was not that Nie Wei refused to cooperate, but Nie Wei's hateful agent Luo Kai directly stopped Wang Wei from asking.
This made Wang Wei's favorability towards Luo Kai plummet. If it was put in the GAL game, Luo Kai would basically have no possibility of continuing to interact with Wang Wei, and the mutual favorability must be negative.
Five minutes later, Luo Kai, who saw Wang Wei off, returned to Nie Wei's office.
"What's the next schedule?" Nie Wei asked.
"No today, but there is a schedule tomorrow that you must attend." Luo Kai reported.
Nie Wei was very curious, what schedule did he have to attend? So he asked Luo Kai.
"Infinite Challenge." Luo Kai only answered four words, and Nie Wei immediately understood.
At the beginning, he was selected by Xie Na as a partner of "Infinite Challenge Summer Festival". At that time, he specially created a song "Pineapple and Jackfruit" for Xie Na. After it was broadcast, it caused quite a sensation and even caused the "exposure" of his other identity as an author.
However, later he was busy filming and busy going to Japan to help Alan become famous. A long time has passed in a flash. Nie Wei almost forgot about it. I didn't expect that Ma Dong was so persistent and really waited until he returned to Kyoto to continue filming.
This made Nie Wei really unable to refuse. It was indeed necessary to participate, but according to this progress, would the summer festival be changed to the autumn festival?
Ma Dong didn't care whether it was the summer festival or the autumn festival. Anyway, he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news that Nie Wei agreed to film.
In fact, he did think about finding another partner for Xie Na, but after the first episode was broadcast, Nie Wei had such a profound impact, and Xie Na herself didn't want to change her partner, so the matter was delayed.
Now that Nie Wei is finally back, Ma Dong feels that he must squeeze him well, otherwise how can he justify so many people's long wait?
Thanks to 0773 and Qiu Ye Liang Yue for their generous rewards.
