Chapter 715 715. Hotspot
Nie Weiding's coffee shop, Li Binbin, is also familiar with it. It was founded by a shareholder of Huayi. It has two floors. The first floor is a normal coffee shop, while the second floor is dedicated to providing services to artists.
Moreover, the managers, service staff and even cleaners in the store have signed confidentiality contracts, and the privacy of celebrities is very well protected. Many celebrities like to make appointments here when they want to make friends.
When Li Binbin arrived on the second floor, he saw a celebrity couple who had just refuted rumors of a relationship getting together.
After taking a look at the two people, Li Binbin turned his head and found the box where Nie Wei was located. This box was not open to the public on weekdays and belonged to Nie Wei's exclusive box.
"I'm afraid you, Nie Wei, are the only one who orders Longjing in the coffee shop." As soon as he entered the room, Li Binbin saw Nie Wei making tea and said jokingly.
"Sister, do you want tea or coffee?" Nie Wei asked.
"I'd better drink coffee. I've been very busy lately, and coffee is more refreshing." After Li Binbin sat down, he rubbed his temples with a tired look on his face.
Nie Wei pressed the bell at the table, and within ten seconds, a pretty girl waiter came in.
"Have an Americano, with more ice, no milk, no sugar."
"OK."
"Sister, you really worked too hard." Nie Wei felt bitter in her mouth when she heard Li Binbin ordered coffee.
Hearing Nie Wei's words, Li Binbin just smiled and said: "I'm not like you. I'm so old. I'm almost thirty-five years old. If I don't fight hard, I won't have a chance to fight in the future. Take advantage of these few years I’m in good shape, so of course I have to work hard. Doing this job is like climbing a mountain. You can’t always think about taking a break. Only by rushing up with all your strength can you reach the top of the mountain.”
These words made Nie Wei a little silent. He could understand Li Binbin's thoughts, but he couldn't understand the meaning of Li Binbin's words.
Unlike Li Binbin, if Li Binbin's acting career is described as mountain climbing, then Nie Wei simply made a plane and flew directly to the top of the mountain. There may have been a few accidents in the process, but there was basically no risk. Without that kind of experience, Nie Wei Only naturally can’t understand it deeply.
However, this did not prevent Nie Wei from comforting Li Binbin.
"Thirty to fifty are the best ages for women, and sister Binbin, you take good care of yourself. You don't look like you are in your thirties at all. You look younger than girls in their twenties. ”
"It's just your sweet mouth." Li Binbin knew clearly that Nie Wei was flattering, but she was still happy inside. At her age, she is the most sensitive to age. She neither wants to admit that she has grown old, but also hints that she is no longer young. , at such a tangled age, she naturally likes to hear other people say that she looks "frozen". This not only acknowledges her age, but also praises her beauty, which is the most comfortable for Li Binbin.
"Tell me, do you want my help when you come to me? As you said just now, as long as my sister can do it, I will definitely help you." Li Binbin promised with a smile.
"There really is such a thing." Seeing Li Binbin take the initiative to mention it, Nie Wei didn't beat around the bush and said, while preparing to take out the script from the handbag on the side.
Seeing Nie Wei's answer, Li Binbin was stunned for a moment. Although what she just said was refreshing, she really didn't realize that Nie Wei would need her help if he had any difficulties. However, since Nie Wei really had a 'difficulty', she would do it. Be prepared to think about it seriously.
But when Li Binbin took what Nie Wei handed over, his eyes widened instantly.
"script?"
"That's right, Sister Binbin, you should know the new movie that I started preparing as early as the beginning of the year. Now that the special effects problems have been overcome, the new movie is officially ready to start shooting. I think the heroine of this movie It's perfect for you to act." Nie Weiwei extended the invitation to Li Binbin with a sincere face.
Li Binbin did not answer immediately, but excitedly held the script in his hand.
How could she not know about Nie Wei's new movie?
As early as the beginning of the year, everyone got the news that Nie Wei would shoot a new super-large-scale movie, and it was said that he would use this movie to compete in the Hollywood market.
Moreover, according to media reports, this work even broke the Chinese film investment record set by "The Promise" in terms of investment. And such a huge investment work is already eye-catching enough even if it has not started filming.
It can be said that when the news report came out, all the actors who knew the news wanted to participate in the movie, even if it was just a supporting role, they were willing to do so.
Because such a work is destined to be remembered by people, just like the original "Hero", it will definitely become a wonderful event in the history of Chinese films. As long as you participate in such a work, it is a very worthwhile experience for the actors themselves. Show off your achievements.
When Li Binbin heard the news, he was very moved. He even called Nie Wei and recommended himself.
However, because the movie was just an idea at that time, it was dropped in the end. Later, Lin Binbin continued to receive new news about how many powerful actresses wanted to play the heroine of this TV series, and there were even rumors that It was reported that Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi also actively wanted to join the film.
Li Binbin was not sure about Gong Li's news, but Zhang Ziyi wanted to star in this movie, which Li Binbin confirmed.
It must be said that these powerful competitors made Li Binbin feel a little disappointed. She felt that she seemed to be getting further and further away from the chance to be the heroine of this movie.
And as time went by, there was no news about the preparation of this movie. Li Binbin's thoughts on this movie became less and less. However, she never thought that just when she was about to forget about this movie, this great opportunity was actually placed in front of her.
"Nie Wei, you are not kidding me." Li Binbin held the script, still a little unbelievable.
Looking at Li Binbin's appearance, Nie Wei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister Binbin, you are too cute, how could I joke about such a thing."
Lin Binbin was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and quickly waved her hand to explain: "I'm not talking about you, hey, sister said it wrong, I will treat you to a big dinner tonight."
"You must treat the big dinner." Nie Wei's words were joking, and then he said seriously: "But before that, sister Binbin, you have to listen to me first."
"You say." Lin Binbin suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.
"Sister, you haven't read the script yet, so I'll tell you about the movie. It's a movie adapted from an American comic book. It's not about Superman or Batman, but about an assassin organization." Nie Wei began to narrate the outline of the movie. At this moment, Li Binbin, who was listening very carefully, suddenly called out, "Nie Wei, stop first, wait for me."
While talking, Li Binbin had already stood up and walked out of the box. About two or three minutes later, the sister came back with a pen and a notebook.
"I'm stupid, please speak slowly, I'll take notes." Li Binbin said self-deprecatingly.
"Okay, I'll slow down." Nie Wei didn't bother Li Binbin with this request, but admired Li Binbin's attitude. Her willingness to take notes represented her serious attitude towards the movie.
It's better than some actors who pretend to understand even though they don't understand. As a result, the director misunderstands and thinks he understands. But when the filming starts, the actor will reveal his true colors. Not only will he have to trouble the director, but he will also delay the progress of the crew.
Nie Wei slowed down his speech and told Li Binbin the outline of the story. Li Binbin also carefully wrote down some key points that Nie Wei said.
Considering Li Binbin's speed of remembering things, Nie Wei took about 20 minutes to finish the outline of the story.
"Nie Wei, do I need to buy comics and read them together with the script?" Li Binbin asked.
"No need. This script only borrows the background of the assassin organization in the comics. Most of the plot is original. You can just read the script carefully. The comics are not very helpful." Nie Wei replied.
"Okay." Li Binbin nodded. Nie Wei was the screenwriter and director of this movie. Li Binbin was very convinced by his words and decided to go back and study the script hard to understand it as soon as possible.
Looking at Li Binbin who was drinking coffee to refresh herself, Nie Wei made a request to this sister.
"Sister Binbin, the filming of this movie will start after the New Year, but during the period before the filming, I hope you can clear all your schedules."
"All?" Li Binbin looked at Nie Wei in surprise and asked.
"Yes, all." Nie Wei nodded seriously, and then explained: "First of all, your physical condition is not good, I need you to ensure that you have enough rest. In addition, this movie requires a lot of action scenes, and your role is a female killer. You also need to know a lot of guns. In short, I want you to ensure that you have enough energy to cope with the training that is about to start. You are like this now, I really don't dare to use it."
Nie Wei's last sentence made Lin Binbin's heart tighten, and he also understood that Nie Wei was not discussing with him, but asking him to do it. If he couldn't do it, he was afraid that this role would also fly.
"No problem, give me a week." Li Binbin gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
As a popular female star, her schedule has actually been scheduled until after the New Year. These jobs will obviously be cancelled or postponed. For this, Li Binbin will not only bear the bad reputation of breach of contract, but may also have to pay some liquidated damages.
However, in Li Binbin's view, these issues are not as important as the role in front of her. This opportunity is rare in her view. If she misses this role because of some negative issues and liquidated damages, it would really be a foolish thing to throw away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.
"Well, let the company help you negotiate some of the work you have taken in advance. You don't have to worry about the liquidated damages. The company will bear it all. After all, you caused the loss because of filming our company's drama, and the company should be responsible for it."
"Nie Wei, thank you." Li Binbin was so moved that she didn't know what to say. She was originally prepared to bear it herself, but she didn't expect Nie Wei to have already thought of a solution for her.
Looking at Li Binbin who looked extremely moved, Nie Wei couldn't help laughing in his heart. Comparing a little liquidated damages with the gratitude of a future top female star, Nie Wei had already weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Moreover, if it made sense, Huayi should bear the responsibility. It's just that artists have always been at a disadvantage when facing the company, and when faced with such a situation, they rarely defend their own interests in this regard.
Half a month has passed unknowingly, and the list of nominees for the new year's Golden Horse Awards has been announced again. However, the starlight of this year's Golden Horse Awards is slightly dim because Nie Wei is missing.
At this time, everyone discovered that Nie Wei had not produced a single film for a whole year, but only filmed an idol drama.
Immediately, the media stood up to denounce Nie Wei, saying that he was satisfied with the existing achievements and slacked off, and failed the expectations of his fans and the public. However, not long after this article was published, it was criticized by Nie Wei's fans. In the eyes of fans, Nie Wei did not slack off this year. Not only did the idol dramas he performed shine and achieved one record after another, but the songs and scripts he wrote also achieved very good results.
And soon the fans also had the best counterattack weapon, which was a notice from Huayi, an announcement about the preparation of Nie Wei's new movie.
As soon as this news came out, the entire Chinese entertainment industry was shaken.
At one time, Nie Wei's personal cell phone, Shu Chang's personal cell phone, and Wang Zhonglei's personal cell phone were all flooded with calls, all of which were from people who wanted to get into the crew by asking for connections and favors. In addition, those who had no connections directly called Huayi's public relations department, all asking for specific information about the TV series, or whether there would be public auditions for roles, etc.
Nie Wei's work email also received countless resume reports from celebrity artists every day, many of which came with some "benefits", some of which were either hinted or explicitly stated, but Nie Wei could not see these benefits, but they were a bargain for Luo Kai, who drank chrysanthemum tea to reduce his heat these days.
Even the news of Nie Wei's new movie spread abroad, but unlike in China, most of the foreign media reports were contemptuous, thinking that it was crazy for a Chinese to want to adapt American comics and conquer the American film market.
Some foreign media even gave Nie Wei a nickname, calling him China's Don Quixote, thinking that he was the silly dreamer who rushed towards the windmill with a lance.
Among all kinds of comments, Nie Wei was at the peak of public opinion for a while. He received countless interview requests every day, but he turned them down because he was busy preparing for the movie. In Nie Wei's opinion, the media was just enthusiastic for a while, and they would naturally chase other hot spots after a while.
What Nie Wei didn't expect was that the next hot news would appear soon, but the protagonist of the news was still him.
Thanks to the generous reward from the Immortal Bird and Fantasy Park.
