Chapter 799 799. Returning Home and Three Books
Selena's broken nose did leave a deep impression on Nie Wei, but that was all. Apart from giving her a handkerchief, Nie Wei turned around and left without even asking her name.
On the way to find Li Binbin, Nie Wei also saw Thomas, and took him along.
"What happened over there just now? It seemed very lively." Thomas had actually been paying attention to Nie Wei's movements, and naturally saw Selena fall, so he couldn't help but curiously want to ask about the details.
"A little girl broke her nose, there shouldn't be any problem." Nie Wei answered casually.
"Uh, aren't you curious about who that girl is?" This is what Thomas wanted to ask, because from beginning to end, Nie Wei's attitude was simply too indifferent.
"Does she have any special identity?" Nie Wei raised his eyebrows and guessed subconsciously. However, before Thomas could answer, he smiled and said to Thomas on the side: "Thomas, but what does this have to do with me?"
Thomas was stunned by Nie Wei's words, and then he shrugged his shoulders and replied helplessly: "That's true, but I still want to introduce her. She is one of the new generation of Disney girls we are promoting, named Selena."
Hearing Thomas' words, Nie Wei stopped and looked at him meaningfully.
"Thomas, what is your relationship with this girl named Selena?"
"Haha, you really can't hide anything from your eyes." Thomas looked embarrassed and replied: "I am a good friend of Selena's agent. She asked me to help this girl leave a good impression on you. It's just that now it seems that the impression has been left, but it's hard for me to determine whether it is good or not."
Thomas was really helpless. He didn't have time to introduce Selena to Nie Wei, but Selena made such a big fool in front of Nie Wei, which made Thomas not know how to praise this girl when introducing Selena.
Nie Wei smiled and didn't answer anything. He just continued to walk with Thomas to where Li Binbin was.
As for Selena, after Thomas mentioned it repeatedly, Nie Wei finally remembered who this girl was. Wasn't she the girlfriend who had been on and off with Bieber?
As for what works the other party had, Nie Wei really didn't remember clearly. He only remembered the various love-hate gossips between her and Bieber.
Soon, Nie Wei found where Li Binbin was. At this moment, the girl was being led by Wang Weiwei to chat with a designer in the American fashion industry.
But most of the time, Wang Weiwei was chatting with the designer. Occasionally, when asked about Li Binbin, she would reply a sentence or two.
After all, different trades are like different mountains. Although Li Binbin usually pays attention to those fashion products, it is difficult for her to get involved in the content of Wang Weiwei's chat with the designer, because it involves a lot of professional knowledge that can only be communicated at a certain level.
The arrival of Nie Wei and Thomas just relieved Li Binbin's somewhat embarrassing situation.
"Let me introduce you, this is Thomas, the first-level supervisor of Disney's overseas operations department." Nie Wei first introduced Thomas to Li Binbin, and then took Li Binbin to introduce: "This is Li Binbin, the heroine of "Assassin's League", and she is also a very famous actress in Asia."
"Hello, Oriental Goddess." Thomas greeted Li Binbin very enthusiastically, and even called her the Oriental Goddess like Li Binbin's little fans.
This made Li Binbin a little shy, mainly because this title really made her feel embarrassed. After all, this is not an era where goddesses are everywhere. At least in China, she has never been called a goddess since her debut.
In the past, this title was given to super stars such as Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li.
Thomas was very tactful. After leaving his contact information with Li Binbin, he said goodbye directly. Watching Thomas leave, Nie Wei and Li Binbin said, "When you develop in the United States alone in the future, if you have any difficulties, you can contact Thomas first. He will help you solve them as much as possible. If he can't solve them, you can call me again."
"Nie Wei, thank you." Li Binbin raised her glass and clinked it with Nie Wei, thanking him sincerely.
Because she knew very well that compared with the connections Wang Weiwei introduced to her just now, Thomas, whom Nie Wei introduced to her at this moment, was the person she could rely on in times of crisis. With this Disney executive as a guarantee, Li Binbin could also feel relieved to film in the United States.
Because just two days ago, Nie Wei helped her get one of the heroines of a new movie in Disney, which was considered the third female position. Nie Wei had read the script of this movie and also showed it to Li Binbin. Both the script itself and the role were worth playing.
Although this role is not as eye-catching as the other two heroines, her role itself does not make the audience hate her, and her personality is also very likable. Li Binbin took on such a role just to consolidate her popularity in North America.
"I will sign a contract with AMC in three days, and then I will return to China. There are some things in China that I need to deal with. In addition, how do you think about your accommodation in the United States? You can continue to live in a hotel. In addition, Wang Weiwei will return to New York tomorrow, and you can move into the villa where she lives."
"I'll live in the villa. I'm not used to staying in a hotel. I still like the feeling of home." Li Binbin chose without hesitation.
Nie Wei nodded and said: "Then after sending Wang Weiwei away tomorrow, you can follow Luo Kai to see the house. If you need to prepare any other daily necessities or want to make any modifications to the house, you can tell Luo Kai directly. , open an order for him, and he will naturally find someone to buy it for you, so you don’t have to worry.”
"By the way, I also found a local English teacher for you. Although you have already practiced speaking well, you can't leave your studies behind. You also need to know more English. You can't just speak, but also write. Can."
"Don't worry, boss. I will study hard. No wonder the little girls in the company always call you Mom Wei behind the scenes." Li Binbin smiled and said, "I heard you nagging me like this today. I have a deep understanding of this nickname."
After teasing Nie Wei with a smile, Li Binbin put away his joking expression and assured Nie Wei seriously: "You don't have to worry about studying. Although I am a bit stupid, I understand that stupid birds fly first."
After hearing Li Binbin's self-deprecating words, Nie Wei smiled, knowing that what this girl said was really true. Although many people think that Li Binbin is very talented, in Nie Wei's view, she is more of a hard-working person. genius.
Because they have worked together before, Nie Wei knows very well that this girl is really stupid. She just memorizes the script, let alone someone like Nie Wei who has a photographic memory. Even compared with ordinary actors, other actors It would be enough to read it four or five times. She might not be able to remember it if she read it seven or eight times.
But one thing about Li Binbin that Nie Wei admires is that this woman can really persevere, just like an old scalper, working hard, reciting it seven or eight times if she is not familiar with it, then reciting it seven or eight times again, until she gnaws at herself Until it's cooked.
Therefore, despite her poor memory, she is the actor on the set who makes the fewest mistakes in lines except Nie Wei. In terms of learning foreign languages, Li Binbin's progress has always been among the best among the cast, and she can achieve such results. , she got it by studying hard while others were playing.
"Okay, that's all. Do you have any gifts for your family? I can help you take them back to China." Nie Wei asked.
"I really want to trouble you. I bought gifts for my parents..."
Li Binbin's trouble was not just a polite word. After the celebration party in the evening, when he returned to the hotel, Nie Wei was about to take a shower when she heard someone knocking on the door.
When Nie Wei opened the door, she saw Li Binbin walking in dragging a large box. This large box was the gift she wanted Nie Wei to bring back home.
"It's filled with clothes, health care products and the like that I bought for my parents, and, by the way, this." As he spoke, Li Binbin handed a small gift bag in his hand to Nie Wei.
"Here are the gifts I bought for you and Shu Chang. There is also a bag for my uncle and aunt. I will bring it to you later. I don't know what they like, so I picked some and gave them to my dad. The same health products as mom.”
Looking at the gift bag in his hand, Nie Wei didn't show any politeness, took it and opened it and looked at it.
There were two gift boxes inside, one of which contained a pair of sapphire earrings, which were obviously given to Shu Chang, while the one given to him was a Montblanc pen.
"The great writer series, Jules Verne." Nie Wei opened the pen box and saw the pen inside. He looked at Li Binbin in surprise and asked: "How did you buy it? It's still brand new. This is 03 The limited edition of this year has long been out of print.”
"I was quite lucky. I saw this pen in a jewelry store. I heard the owner said it was a literary series. I thought it was very suitable for you, so I bought it." After saying this, Li Binbin couldn't help but asked curiously. Nie Wei: "Is Verne the name of this pen?"
"That's true, but Montblanc's literary series are all named after great writers. Verne is the novelist who wrote "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea."" Nie Wei patiently explained to Li Binbin After a while, he took the pen in his hand, wrote twice in the air, and said with a smile: "I like it very much."
"As long as you like it." Seeing Nie Wei satisfied with the gift, Li Binbin smiled very happily.
After chatting for a while, Li Binbin saw that Nie Wei was a little tired, so he said goodbye.
There were not many opportunities for the two of them to meet in the next three days, mainly because Nie Wei was too busy. The final stage of the negotiation was also the most testing time. At this time, any small mistake might affect the entire situation. Nie Wei didn't want to To be that person who can walk a hundred miles only half the time, he must do this last step personally to feel at ease.
And Li Binbin is not idle either. Wang Weiwei's villa was originally rented by Nie Wei in Los Angeles through Huayi Company for this fashion queen to stay. However, it was only a short-term rental before. Now that Li Binbin wants to live in it, he has to change it. Growth rent.
In addition, Li Binbin also needed to buy some necessary daily necessities, as well as some furniture that he wanted. Fortunately, with the help of Luo Kai and two local assistants, Li Binbin only needed to move his mouth.
In addition, the English teacher assigned to Li Binbin also started his work the next day. Li Binbin must spare one hour every day to receive tutoring on English vocabulary and correction of some pronunciation of spoken English.
Three days later, Nie Wei officially signed a contract with AMC, and this theater chain, which ranks second in the number of screens in the United States, belongs to Nie Wei's Fanxing Group.
This incident attracted the attention of many media in both countries. At the same time, the media in both countries felt that Nie Wei's acquisition this time was a bit risky, saying that it was a dangerous game of swallowing an elephant.
However, although the media in both countries were not optimistic about Nie Wei's acquisition this time, their views were different.
The American media believed that Nie Wei rashly acquired such a large cinema chain, but was not familiar with the business philosophy of American cinema chains, and it was very likely to further bring this super cinema chain into a deeper abyss.
In China, the media generally believed that the Hollywood market was too mature, and it was better to invest in China than to acquire such a declining cinema chain. After all, the development momentum of the domestic film market was obviously much stronger than that of the United States, and the potential was also greater.
No matter what they said, this acquisition case had become a foregone conclusion, and Nie Wei also became the man with the largest number of cinemas and screens in the world after mastering the Star Cinema and AMC Cinema.
Controlling the cinemas is equivalent to controlling the lifeline of countless production companies in the film industry. Let's not consider it from the perspective of interests. At least after acquiring AMC Cinemas, Nie Wei's influence in the Chinese and American film circles has greatly increased.
And this incident seems to have stimulated many small cinema chains in the United States. In recent years, the American film industry has been in a downturn. It is difficult for super cinema chains like AMC to do business, let alone small cinema chains like them. So after seeing Nie Wei acquire AMC, they also want to be acquired. Recently, they are constantly looking for opportunities to contact Nie Wei.
However, to their disappointment, the day after AMC was acquired, there was a news report that Nie Wei had already taken a plane back to China.
At this time in China, Wang Zhonglei was holding three books and holding a meeting with all the executives of the company's film and television department.
"The company's film and television plan for the new year will first start with the adaptation of these three novels. I believe that everyone is familiar with these three novels, namely "Ghost Blowing Lights", "Nirvana in Fire" and "Zhu Xian" written by Nie Wei."
When Wang Zhonglei said this, everyone at the scene showed a surprised expression, mainly because they did not expect Wang Zhonglei to come out with three books at this time.
Of course, they are not unfamiliar with these three books. Some people even mentioned the adaptation of these three books in the company, but Nie Wei did not give in at that time, so the matter was eventually left unresolved.
I just didn't expect that happiness would come so suddenly, and three books were discussed at once, which made the executives of the film and television departments present all eager to do a big job.
