Chapter 722 722. Deja Vu

In the entertainment industry, whether Chinese or foreign, you can never escape the word 'humanity'.

Tian Jinghua's request really surprised Nie Wei, but he could understand it. Just as Tian Jinghua said, he owed the other person's father a favor, and now it is completely normal for him to repay it to his son. In the entertainment industry, this is This kind of thing happens everywhere. Many second-generation celebrities are able to debut at a high starting point through the favors accumulated by their parents.

And when Nie Wei didn't find it annoying, Tian Jinghua's request was actually very measured.

Nowadays, except for those singer-songwriters, the audience basically doesn't even pay much attention to lyrics and composition, let alone arrangers. This thing really adds a little more and takes away a lot.

But don’t underestimate this matter. If it is arranged for ordinary singers, then this is nothing. But if this arrangement is for a song by a top star like Nie Wei, it will not be simple, not to mention It is also the song that Nie Wei is about to take to the Spring Festival Gala stage.

There will definitely be no repercussions from the public, but within the circle, it is equivalent to plating the person himself with a layer of gold.

It's no wonder that a great director like Tian Jinghua was used to ask for help from Nie Wei, probably just to show sincerity. After all, it was only reasonable and reasonable to exchange the favor of a Spring Festival Gala director for such a gold-plated opportunity.

After Nie Wei listened silently to Tian Jinghua's words, he was silent for a moment and then gave a reply: "Director Tian, ​​if you can, take him to Huayi Company this afternoon and I will see for myself."

Tian Jinghua, who was waiting for a reply over there, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Nie Wei's words, and agreed with a smile: "Okay, how about we make an appointment at two in the afternoon?"

"Can."

After hanging up the phone, Tian Jinghua smiled and said to a man next to him who looked to be in his thirties or forties with long yellow hair: "Xiaobo, Nie Wei has agreed. Come with me to Huayi Company this afternoon. ”

"Thank you so much, Director Tian." The middle-aged man named Xiaobo bowed and thanked him. He said that this was Tian Jinghua repaying a favor to his father, but the fact that the other party was willing to remember the favor was worthy of his solemn thanks. What's more, he saw Tian Jinghua's sincere request just now and guided this uncle to treat him sincerely.

Nie Wei spent more than two hours in the morning holding a meeting with several musicians from Huayi and made three plans, but they still needed to be discussed before deciding.

At noon, Nie Wei had a meal directly in the company, and then returned to his office to rest.

It wasn't until two o'clock that Luo Kai came to wake up Nie Wei and told her that Tian Jinghua had brought people to the company and was waiting in the conference room.

After spending ten minutes washing up, Nie Wei changed into a more formal plaid casual suit, and then took Luo Kai to the lounge.

When Nie Wei arrived in the lounge, Tian Jinghua was chatting with Xiaobo. It seemed that he had not just arrived. Nie Wei also inquired with Luo Kai on the way, and he had already arrived before half past one. company, but because it was not the agreed time, Luo Kai did not wake up Nie Wei.

Seeing Nie Wei enter the room, Xiaobo, who was drinking coffee, quickly put down his coffee cup and jumped up from his seat, while Tian Jinghua on the side looked much more calm.

"Teacher Tian, ​​I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Nie Wei took the initiative to reach out and shake Tian Jinghua's hand, then explained.

"No way, we just arrived." Tian Jinghua said with a smile. Nie Wei's polite apology made him lose the anger he had accumulated during the waiting period. At the same time, he did not forget to introduce Xiaobo, who was a little nervous at the side, to Nie Wei. Wei: "This is the child I brought. His name is Wu Xiubo."

"Hello, Mr. Nie, my name is Wu Xiubo, you can just call me Xiaobo." Although Wu Xiubo is almost forty years old and much older than Nie Wei, he is not stupid enough to let Nie Wei call him Brother Bo. Yes, in this circle, popularity is much more important than seniority, not to mention that Nie Wei's identity is not just an artist.

However, Nie Wei couldn't help being startled when she heard the name. Then she looked at Wu Xiubo seriously, making Wu Xiubo feel a little scared. Then she asked, "Have we met before?"

Hearing this, Wu Xiubo was startled for a moment, then smiled sheepishly and replied: "I've met before. Last time at the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, I was in front of you and Zhang Liangying."

This sentence made Nie Wei's somewhat chaotic thoughts straighten out. No wonder he felt familiar the last time he saw him. Isn't this the actor who will be famous for playing the uncle in the future?

It's just that I can't compliment his current appearance, not to mention the uncle charm when he becomes famous in the future. Wu Xiubo is now wearing a leather jacket and dyed his hair yellow. When Nie Wei couldn't accept it the most, he even had his hair permed. When Nie Wei saw him for the first time, she thought she was seeing a big chow walking upright.

No wonder she couldn't recognize him at the Spring Festival Gala last time. This look really made Nie Wei want to sing a song: "Kill a horse, kill a horse, wash, cut, blow, wash, cut, blow, blow..."

What's more, what Nie Wei didn't expect was that this future top actor in China would also have such a dark history of rock and roll.

Nie Wei retracted her gaze, smiled, and said to Tian Jinghua on the side: "Teacher, how about we chat in this conference room, and there is no need for any tests. I will just ask Mr. Wu Xiubo a few questions. "

“Of course, of course.” Tian Jinghua was really afraid that Nie Wei would take the test seriously. After all, he knew Wu Xiubo’s musical level best. Compared with ordinary people, Wu Xiubo’s musical literacy was naturally very good, and he could even be called a professional. However, if a great musical talent like Nie Wei were to take the test seriously, Tian Jinghua was really worried that Wu Xiubo would not be able to cope with it.

After all, this kid has talent, but he just didn’t study hard when he was young. Originally, among the singers who debuted at the same generation as him, Wu Xiubo’s musical literacy and image were very outstanding at the beginning, but in the end, those singers of the same generation as him became famous all over the country, and he was still singing in bars.

Although Wu Xiubo earned a lot from singing, it was not much compared with the achievements of those singers.

Fortunately, Wu Xiubo is now middle-aged and knows how to repent and improve for the sake of his family, but after all, he missed the most golden decade, which is also what Tian Jinghua regrets the most.

Then Nie Wei asked Wu Xiubo several questions in front of Tian Jinghua, covering a lot of music knowledge, but they were basic questions. Tian Jinghua was grateful and understood that Nie Wei deliberately asked such "broad but shallow" questions, in fact, he was selling himself a face. Otherwise, if Nie Wei wanted to refuse, he would just ask a few difficult questions and he would be able to return the goods directly. He would not be able to say anything to beg for mercy at that time.

Nie Wei asked questions for only ten minutes from beginning to end. Wu Xiubo answered very fluently. After all, he had a certain level of musical literacy, and the questions raised by Nie Wei would not stump him.

"Teacher Tian, ​​I think he can do it. Why don't he stay in my company today? It happens that I have to practice with Jingying, so let him watch from the side." After Nie Wei asked the questions, he said directly to Tian Jinghua on the side.

"Of course it's good." Hearing this, Tian Jinghua agreed immediately, and at the same time, he did not forget to remind Wu Xiubo: "Xiaobo, remember to study hard with Nie Wei. Although Nie Wei is younger than you, he is more than qualified to be your teacher in the field of music. You must seize the opportunity to study with Nie Wei."

Nie Wei listened to Tian Jinghua's straightforward flattery and laughed in his heart. It seems that Wu Xiubo's parents really took good care of Tian Jinghua at the beginning, allowing Tian Jinghua to sell him so well, and even willing to flatter Nie Wei for Wu Xiubo.

However, this incident also shows that Tian Jinghua is indeed a good friend who can remember kindness. It is undoubtedly correct to be friends with such a person.

Nie Wei asked Luo Kai to greet Wu Xiubo, and he got up and personally sent Tian Jinghua downstairs.

When Nie Wei came back, Wu Xiubo was sitting upright and accepting Luo Kai's questions.

"Xiaobo, how old are you this year?"

"I'm 39, how about you, Brother Kai?"

"Uh... I'm only 38, don't call me Brother Kai, you're one year older than me."

"No, I'm one year older, but my achievements are more than one level lower than yours. Brother Kai, you're a famous gold medal agent in the circle, the No. 1 agent in our Chinese film and television circle."

"Hahahaha, no way."

"Ahem." Nie Wei couldn't stand it anymore at the door, pushed the door open and interrupted the conversation between the two.

When the two saw Nie Wei enter the room, they hurriedly stood up, but Luo Kai wanted to ask Nie Wei if he needed anything, and Wu Xiubo on the side was just a subconscious reaction. In his eyes, Nie Wei is now half his boss.

"Brother Luo Kai, go and rest, I'll talk to Mr. Wu Xiubo for a few more words." Nie Wei winked at Luo Kai, and the other party immediately understood and left the meeting room.

Wu Xiubo on the side was a little nervous, not understanding what Nie Wei wanted to talk to him about.

"Don't be nervous, sit down first." Nie Wei motioned Wu Xiubo to sit down, and then asked: "From your appearance, you should be a rock singer?"

"Yes, I like rock, but I also sing some folk songs. You know, customers can't stand it if the karaoke bar always sings rock." Wu Xiubo replied with a wry smile.

"Actually, when I met you at Huaxia TV before, I felt that you looked familiar. Have you acted in any drama?" Nie Wei continued to ask.

Hearing this, Wu Xiubo was even more embarrassed. After a long time of hesitation, he replied: "I have acted in some dramas, but the results were not very ideal. I guess you haven't heard of the name."

"You are too modest. I remember that you starred in a TV series called "Very Way". You were the star, screenwriter and even the music, and the performance of this TV series was also good." Nie Wei casually mentioned Wu Xiubo's most proud masterpiece so far, which also made the man open his mouth in surprise.

He really couldn't think that Nie Wei would know his TV series. Although Nie Wei said that the performance of the TV series was good, Wu Xiubo knew his own business. The performance of the TV series could only be considered ordinary, but it was indeed the most impressive performance since he entered the entertainment industry.

Anyway, at this moment, Wu Xiubo couldn't help but feel a little happy, and at the same time, his favorability towards Nie Wei doubled. In his eyes, Nie Wei didn't seem so high and mighty, and seemed to be able to communicate.

"I can see that you have good qualities between singers and actors, but in my opinion, you are actually more suitable to be an actor." Nie Wei didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly to Wu Xiubo.

After confirming Wu Xiubo's identity, Nie Wei was already thinking about how to receive this "uncle" into his own company.

You should know that among Huayi's male actors, there are Huang Xiaoming and Cheng Kun in their prime, and Jing Boran, Ma Tianyu and other new generation actors. It can be said that there are many talents, but Huayi still lacks a type, that is, the uncle type like Wu Xiubo, who should be an old man in Peking Opera.

Just like the big Qingyi, the old man is often indispensable for a TV series, especially the serious drama. Huayi had Chen Daoming before, who is the top old man actor in China. Unfortunately, he was poached.

Since then, Huayi has been lacking in this aspect.

But unexpectedly, today there is a future first-line old man actor who came to Nie Wei himself. Nie Wei must seize this opportunity and sign Wu Xiubo, who has gone astray, to let him return to his correct path.

"Mr. Nie, I don't understand what you said." Wu Xiubo didn't expect Nie Wei to suddenly say this to him. At this moment, he was completely confused. How did he suddenly jump from music to actors?

"Of course there is a reason for this." Nie Wei smiled, organized his words in his mind, and in just a few seconds, he came up with a set of tenable words.

"It's very simple. If you continue on the road of music, the greatest achievement in the future will be to have another singer who is not too famous in our Chinese music circle. I believe you also understand that the singer industry is actually very dependent on youth, because a person's voice condition is always the best before the age of 35. As people age, their voice conditions will deteriorate little by little. Even if a person is very talented, his breath and his voice will deteriorate when he gets old."

"Perhaps you will say that I can switch to behind-the-scenes creation, but have you ever thought that a singer's high productivity period is basically between the ages of 20 and 30, Because this is the most youthful age, the age when emotions fluctuate most dramatically, and the age that can stimulate the most creative passion. "

"Once you pass this age, your heart will gradually become stable unconsciously, and the surprise of the songs you write will become weaker. At this time, what is considered is the accumulation of a musician's professional qualities. Of course, your professional knowledge is not bad, but when it comes to what is amazing and outstanding, I think you are also very clear, so I think your chance of becoming a good actor is much greater than your chance of becoming a great composer.
