Chapter 669 669. Tooth for Tooth
Nie Wei was chatting with Cheng Kun when he felt someone poking his arm with a finger. At first, Nie Wei thought it was Chen Qiaoen who touched him by mistake, but as the other party kept poking his arm, Nie Wei finally reacted.
"What's the matter?" Nie Wei turned around and slapped Chen Qiaoen's hand away, asking.
Chen Qiaoen did not ask immediately, but rubbed his slapped hand, with a painful expression and aggrieved pout. Nie Wei did not feel guilty at all, and looked at Chen Qiaoen with a smile, saying: "The show is over."
"Hehe." Chen Qiaoen smiled foolishly when he heard this, and said: "I was just scared by the scene just now. Do you think I will have so many fans to pick me up at the airport in the future?"
"You?" Hearing this, Nie Wei showed a vivid expression of disdain on his face.
"What? Can't I think about it? I, I, I... I don't want a thousand people, I just want a hundred." Chen Qiaoen, who was angry at Nie Wei's expression, immediately retorted, but the more she spoke, the less confident she became. After hearing what happened, not only Nie Wei, but also Cheng Kun and the two actors who were eavesdropping in the front row couldn't help laughing.
Although everyone was laughing, Chen Qiaoen was not blind and saw everything, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
After this, Nie Wei stopped laughing, patted Chen Qiaoen's shoulder, and said, "What? Who said you can't be famous? I think you will be famous after filming this movie."
"Really? And don't learn my accent." Chen Qiaoen patted Nie Wei's arm hard. This person is so annoying. He always likes to imitate her speech to tease her. She always thought that her Taiwan accent was nothing, but now she always feels a little weird. So angry.
Although she was teased by Nie Wei again, Chen Qiaoen was still very happy, because Nie Wei said that she would definitely become famous. The girl just smiled foolishly all the way until she arrived at the hotel, and Nie Wei reminded her to get off the car.
The hotel arranged by the crew for the actors was naturally of the highest standard. This was not because Nie Wei was in the crew that he treated him specially. In fact, Huayi has always been the best in the circle in treating its employees.
On the one hand, this is to win the hearts of employees. A company cannot just shout slogans, but also know how to pay for employees in order to get rewards. On the other hand, it is due to Huayi's status in the circle. As the first domestic agency, if it arranges small hotels for employees when going out, it is really too petty.
To use the old Chinese saying, the emphasis is on a show.
Nie Wei and his group of actors stayed in a five-star hotel, and the employees were not bad either. They booked several homestays near the filming location to arrange them.
These homestays are not rented casually. Not only must they be close to the filming location, but they must also have good hygiene and complete equipment, such as air conditioning, hot water, and network.
Most of the staff had already turned around and headed for the B\u0026B halfway through the trip, but some staff followed Nie Wei to the hotel, mainly to help the old artists, help them carry their luggage, or if someone wanted to buy some daily necessities, they could help carry things.
Of course, Nie Wei would not treat these people unfairly. In the evening, he kept them in the hotel for a big meal. After they had enough food and drink, he arranged for the driver to take them back to the B\u0026B.
"Everyone should rest early. We have to get up early tomorrow morning to start the filming and worship the gods. The formal filming will start in the afternoon. Everyone should conserve their energy and look forward to your good performance tomorrow." After everyone finished their meal, Nie Wei directly advised everyone to rest.
Chen Qiaoen, who was originally planning to take everyone to the Baodao Night Market, did not make any more suggestions after hearing this. Anyway, the filming would take three months, and some people would have free time to go to the night market. What Nie Wei said made more sense. Everyone really needed to rest early, and they must not be tired when performing the first scene tomorrow.
With Nie Wei's words, those who wanted to go out for a stroll also gave up their thoughts and returned to their own rooms. Some reported safety to their families, some chatted with their girlfriends on the phone, and some went to sleep directly, or turned on the TV to watch the news from Taiwan.
While the actors of the crew of "Fated to Love You" were recuperating, some people were very uncomfortable in their hearts. For example, Boss Qian, watching the entertainment news on TV reporting the sensational airport reception scene when Nie Wei and his group came to Taiwan, the dark atmosphere in his heart quickly grew.
All this was because of the woman next to Nie Wei, the woman he had once strongly supported and banned.
Chen Qiaoen came back so quickly, which was what Boss Qian didn't want to see, and what he didn't want to see even more was that Chen Qiaoen was still so glorious when he came back. Although most of the fans who came to the airport to pick her up were Nie Wei and Cheng Kun's people, Chen Qiaoen always gave people a sense of glory when she walked beside the two stars.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she returned to Taiwan in glory. Even the few poor fans of Chen Qiaoen in Taiwan were particularly excited today, forwarding news about Chen Qiaoen everywhere on the Internet, and they almost praised Chen Qiaoen as the little queen of Taiwan.
Boss Qian sneered at these flattery, but what surprised him was that there were actually some netizens who agreed, and there were quite a few of them, and it was listed on the hot search list of blogs in Taiwan that day.
Boss Qian's disdainful eyes gradually became gloomy as the discussion about Chen Qiaoen's glory, because he was frequently mentioned in these discussions, and these netizens mocked him a lot in their words, and some good people even ran directly to his blog to leave mocking comments.
As a well-known boss in the circle, Boss Qian has never been treated like this, so you can imagine how he feels.
However, the reality made him not act rashly. Chen Qiaoen did not come back alone this time. He said he could ban her. This time Chen Qiaoen returned to Taiwan with a big backer. The young man next to her was the one who made Boss Qian timid.
But how to show off his power? Boss Qian thought about it and called Chen Qiaoen's former agent to the office.
"Xiao Li, sit down." Seeing Chen Qiaoen's agent enter the room, Boss Qian rarely smiled.
Although Boss Qian's attitude seemed friendly, Agent Li did not dare to be presumptuous. He carefully sat on the chair with half of his buttocks, and did not dare to sit firmly, because in this way, he could stand up immediately after the boss gave an order.
"Boss, is there anything you want to tell me?" Agent Li asked nervously.
He was also wondering why Boss Qian called him alone. Was it because the artist he was managing recently had fewer shows this month, or was it because one of his artists offended the director while filming without his knowledge and was sued?
"I do have something to ask you to do. Do you still remember Chen Qiaoen? Are you still in touch?" Boss Qian asked tentatively.
Manager Li was startled, then shook his head and replied: "Boss, Chen Qiaoen has not contacted us since she left the company. Although I have the original number, I can't get through."
Boss Qian's face suddenly sank when he heard this answer. Of course, he knew that Chen Qiaoen's original number was unreachable, otherwise he would not have called this agent to ask questions. Now it seems that this agent is useless.
"What about your artists? Isn't that Xiao Qiao on good terms with Chen Qiaoen? Are they not in touch?" Boss Qian continued to ask without giving up.
Manager Li hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
"I don't know, I can ask later."
"Well, remember to ask quickly, find out Chen Qiaoen's contact information, and call me immediately." Boss Qian didn't get the affirmative answer he wanted, and he was a little annoyed. After telling Agent Li a few words, he immediately waved him away.
When Agent Li left the office door, he immediately ran to the safe passage, and after making sure that there was no one, he quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
The call was quickly connected.
"Xiao Qiao, did someone call you to ask for Qiaoen's contact information just now?" Agent Li asked anxiously as soon as the call was connected.
Xiao Qiao on the other side was a little confused, and didn't understand why Agent Li asked this, but still replied: "No, I was recording a program just now, and I received your call just after the program."
"Huh, that's good." Agent Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately reminded Xiao Qiao, saying: "Remember, whoever asks you for Qiaoen's contact information, you must say that you don't know and have no contact. I suspect that the boss wants to retaliate against Qiaoen, do you understand?"
This time Xiao Qiao really understood and promised quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Li was relieved. After thinking about it, he decided to send a text message to Chen Qiaoen to remind her, which was also a compensation for Chen Qiaoen.
After all, when Chen Qiaoen was frozen or even banned, he couldn't come out to help. Even Xiao Qiao's current position as a variety show host was originally Chen Qiaoen. In this regard, Li felt that he owed this girl a little, so he was willing to take this risk to remind her.
Chen Qiaoen woke up the next morning and opened her phone to find this text message from Li.
When Chen Qiaoen saw this person's number, he was surprised. Although he sent a group message to this agent when he changed his number, he never thought that there would be contact between the two.
With curiosity, he clicked on the text message. After a few seconds, Chen Qiaoen's face turned pale from laziness at the beginning.
When eating in the morning, Nie Wei found that Chen Qiaoen was not in good condition. She spilled a bowl of porridge after only two sips. However, Nie Wei thought that Chen Qiaoen was distracted because she was excited about the upcoming performance, so he just reminded her. Seeing that she came back to her senses, he didn't care anymore.
However, when the press conference was held in the morning, Chen Qiaoen fell into that distracted state again, and Nie Wei felt something was wrong.
After a press conference, Chen Qiaoen, a local star, was supposed to be one of the protagonists, but because of frequent mistakes in her answers, she was deprived of her "right to speak" early. When the press conference ended, Nie Wei immediately pulled Chen Qiaoen to a corner.
"What is your state today? What is on your mind that is more important than the TV series that is about to be filmed?" Nie Wei asked Chen Qiaoen sternly.
Chen Qiaoen looked at Nie Wei with an aggrieved expression and pouted. Thinking about the text message that made her fall into fear since the morning, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. Under Nie Wei's surprised eyes, a string of tears fell.
Chen Qiaoen's crying scared Nie Wei. He thought, could it be that his tone was too harsh and scared the girl in front of him?
But Nie Wei thought again, is this girl too fragile? Can't I even scold her for making a mistake? This is not like Chen Qiaoen's style. You know, in Nie Wei's impression, Chen Qiaoen is very stubborn. The more you scold her, the more she will grit her teeth and try to correct it. It's impossible for her to start crying before he really scolds her.
"What's wrong? Tell me, I'm responsible for everything." Nie Wei asked in a slow tone.
Chen Qiaoen did not hide anything and told Nie Wei all the news she received in the morning.
"That's it. Manager Li told me that Boss Qian wanted to retaliate against me. I... I'm scared." Chen Qiaoen replied with sobs. Although Chen Qiaoen was usually very strong, she was still a girl after all. In fact, even if a man encountered such a thing, he would definitely feel uneasy.
Nie Wei listened with a frown. Although he didn't know what the boss surnamed Qian wanted Chen Qiaoen's contact information for, he also agreed with the guess of Manager Li that he must have made some threatening moves against Chen Qiaoen. After all, there was a precedent. Nie Wei clearly remembered that he was the man behind the news that discredited Chen Qiaoen.
Obviously, this local snake couldn't stand Chen Qiaoen's glorious return to Taiwan, and he had bad intentions again, but was Nie Wei really that easy to mess with?
"Qiong En, you don't have to think too much about this. With me here, no one can threaten you. Just focus on filming and let me handle the rest." Nie Wei took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into Chen Qiaoen's hand, while assuring him. Every word was so powerful that Chen Qiaoen felt a sense of security after hearing it.
"Well, thank you." Chen Qiaoen wiped her tears and smiled embarrassedly. She felt that she shouldn't cry. She looked so cowardly and embarrassed herself in front of Nie Wei.
Nie Wei also smiled and patted Chen Qiaoen's head. In the girl's resistance, he smiled and said, "You are crying like a little cat. You still have to start the filming and worship the gods later. Go and touch up your makeup quickly. Don't let the media find out, otherwise they will spread that our crew bullied the actresses."
"Ah." Chen Qiaoen ran away with a scream.
When Chen Qiaoen ran away, the smile on Nie Wei's face disappeared instantly, and then he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
The call was quickly connected. Nie Wei didn't even say hello, but directly ordered: "Check for me which artists are under Gaosheng, the agency, including their development, personal image and potential, and make a report. I'll give you two days."
"Understood."
After hearing the affirmative reply from the other side, Nie Wei hung up the phone, the coldness on his face turned into a smile, and walked towards the temporary lounge.
