Chapter 827 827. Honest Baozi
Seeing Nie Wei appear, Zhao Liying was obviously a little flustered.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand, as if to say hello to Nie Wei, but she seemed to feel that it was a bit abrupt to do so, so she quickly retracted her half-raised hand and bowed respectfully to Nie Wei.
"Nie... Teacher Nie, hello."
The girl's voice was trembling, and she was obviously too nervous. Nie Wei smiled and replied: "Hello, are you going back to the company to do business?"
"Yes, my agent notified me to come to the company to sign an endorsement contract." Zhao Liying answered honestly.
"Yes." Nie Wei responded casually, and did not talk to Zhao Liying again, but stood aside silently waiting for the elevator to come down. Soon an elevator arrived at the first floor. Nie Wei and Luo Kai walked into the elevator one after another, but found that Zhao Liying was still standing stupidly at the door.
"Aren't you taking the elevator?" Nie Wei asked with some surprise.
"Ah, I'll just wait for the next elevator." Zhao Liying replied hurriedly.
"I think it should be OK for three people to sit in this elevator." Luo Kai looked at the empty interior of the elevator and couldn't help complaining.
At the same time, he looked at Zhao Liying strangely, thinking that this girl was too shy and timid. I really don't know why she chose the path of an actor.
Zhao Liying certainly knew that the elevator could accommodate three people, or even ten people. She just didn't want to take the same elevator with Nie Wei, because she always felt nervous next to Nie Wei.
Of course, Zhao Liying couldn't find any excuses at this time, so she could only get on the elevator honestly.
"Where is your agent?" As the elevator slowly rose, Nie Wei casually found a topic to ask Zhao Liying to avoid the atmosphere being too awkward.
"She left the contract documents at home and went back to get them." Zhao Liying still answered honestly.
If Zhao Liying's agent was on the scene, he would definitely knock the girl on the head. Is this something he should say to a company boss like Nie Wei?
As expected, Nie Wei frowned slightly after hearing Zhao Liying's answer. The contract documents were left at home. For an agent, this was obviously a major dereliction of duty.
If the agent was present, Nie Wei might have scolded her. Now that the agent was not present, Nie Wei naturally would not say anything more to Zhao Liying. After all, Zhao Liying was innocent and she did not make any mistakes.
"How long will it take for your agent to come back?" Nie Wei asked.
"She said it would take forty minutes."
"Will it affect the signing?"
"No, it won't." Zhao Liying also realized that her slip of the tongue had caused trouble for the agent, and hurriedly explained to Nie Wei: "The signing is at 10:30 in the morning, and it will definitely be in time."
"Yeah." Nie Wei nodded and said nothing more.
Zhao Liying secretly glanced at Nie Wei's face with her big eyes, but she couldn't see his inner emotions at all. However, Nie Wei didn't scold her, which made her feel relieved. She felt that her explanation might have worked. Nie Wei's expression was calm, and he didn't seem angry.
"Are you free to have a cup of tea with me?" The moment he walked out of the elevator, Nie Wei suddenly invited Zhao Liying.
Zhao Liying was shocked, but after she came to her senses, she felt flattered. After all, it was Nie Wei who invited her. This was the first time Zhao Liying received an invitation from Nie Wei after joining Huayi.
But why did Nie Wei suddenly ask her to have tea? This made Zhao Liying's little head start to have some wild thoughts, but she had already nodded in action, and followed Nie Wei step by step towards the company's tea room.
After all, Nie Wei's invitation made her dare not refuse, let alone refuse.
On the way to the teahouse, many employees passing by cast their eyes on Zhao Liying. Those inquiring eyes were obviously curious about why Zhao Liying and Nie Wei got together.
When they arrived at the teahouse, Nie Wei asked the staff here to take out his Zhuyeqing, and then he did not go to the compartment, but directly found a seat by the window to sit down.
"How do you feel about the past two years in Huayi?" Nie Wei chatted with Zhao Liying while waiting for the waiter to make tea.
"It's good. There are always movies to shoot. I have learned a lot." Zhao Liying replied. After saying that, she thought of something and hurriedly thanked Nie Wei: "Teacher Nie, thank you for giving me the role of Bi Yao."
"You're welcome. This is what you fought for with your own strength." Nie Wei said with a smile.
Nie Wei saw Zhao Liying's progress in the past two years. Let alone other things, just her hometown dialect has become authentic Mandarin now, which is a very rare thing.
You have to know that to suddenly adapt the accent that you have been used to for more than ten years, you must have great perseverance to do it in just one or two years.
"No, no, I still have a lot to learn." Zhao Liying blushed a little after being said by Nie Wei. She didn't think she had much ability. In the field of acting, she still regarded herself as a primary school student.
Listening to Zhao Liying's humble words and looking at Zhao Liying's evasive eyes, Nie Wei almost saw through Zhao Liying's mental state at a glance. To put it nicely, it is called humility, to put it bluntly, it is lack of confidence.
Of course, Nie Wei didn't have the patience to be a caring elder brother, and taught Zhao Liying by example. Confidence is not something that can be built with just a few words of inspirational words. Moreover, Zhao Liying doesn't need his help now. Look at the fans waiting for her outside. In less than a month, with these fans following and supporting her, it's hard for Zhao Liying to be without confidence.
It took twenty minutes to drink a pot of tea. During the whole process, Nie Wei asked Zhao Liying about some trivial things. Zhao Liying was nervous at the beginning, but gradually relaxed a little. Until Nie Wei said goodbye after the tea was finished, Zhao Liying still felt that this morning was a little unrealistic.
After all, she never thought that one day she would be able to sit with Nie Wei to drink tea and chat about family matters, but all this happened just now.
Zhao Liying didn't leave the tea room immediately. She sat there for more than ten minutes, and saw her agent running to the tea room to find her out of breath.
After the two met, the agent's first question was to ask Zhao Liying what she had just talked about with Nie Wei.
"Nothing, Nie Wei just asked me if I had any problems with the recent filming, and also asked about the situation in my hometown. By the way, Nie Wei also said that when I am done with this period, the company will bring my parents to Kyoto, and then give me a few days off, so that I can take them out to have a good time." Zhao Liying said at the end, a little excited.
This was the benefit that Nie Wei promised to her in person before he ended the conversation with Nie Wei.
You know, since joining Huayi, Zhao Liying has only been home a few times, and recently because she has become popular, she has been so busy that she doesn't even have the energy to call her family. After all, she is now sleeping in the nanny car.
So having a vacation and reuniting with her parents makes Zhao Liying happier than any reward, not to mention that she has finally achieved a good result now, and she also wants to show off to her parents in person to let them see how proud they are of her.
"Oh, that's all? Didn't I talk to you about your work arrangements?" The agent asked with some reluctance.
She felt that Nie Wei would not invite Zhao Liying to tea for no reason, and there must be something important to say, but to his disappointment, Zhao Liying shook her head and said that there really was nothing.
"Oh, right!" Zhao Liying suddenly called out, which made the originally disappointed agent suddenly happy, thinking that Zhao Liying remembered something important from Nie Wei.
As a result, she saw Zhao Liying looking at her with a pitiful expression and said, "Sister, I said the wrong thing just now."
"Ah?" The agent was startled and asked quickly, "What did you say wrong, tell me quickly? Is Nie Wei angry?"
"Nie Wei should not be angry." Zhao Liying's answer made the agent feel relieved, but soon, she was almost suffocated by Zhao Liying's next words.
"I just told Nie Wei that you left the contract documents at home. This should not be a big problem, right?"
After hearing this, the agent felt hopeless. For a while, the scene was silent and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
At this time, Luo Kai, who followed Nie Wei into the office, finally couldn't help but ask Nie Wei out of curiosity after closing the door: "Do you think highly of Zhao Liying?"
"Yes." Nie Wei admitted frankly: "Not only her, but also Lin Shishi, Yang Mi and Jing Tian. The four young actresses that Huayi will promote next are these four."
"Huayi's four young actresses?" Luo Kai said with a smile, but he did not question whether Nie Wei could promote the four girls.
Anyway, in Luo Kai's opinion, as long as Nie Wei wants to make someone famous, no one has failed so far.
But he still has a question, that is, Zheng Shuang, another new generation actress under Huayi who has a good upward momentum.
"Little girl? She has a higher goal." Nie Wei replied with a smile, but did not elaborate on his arrangements.
In Nie Wei's opinion, each of these girls in the company has her own advantages and disadvantages. For example, Lin Shishi has a temperament that doesn't know how to write the word "competition". She will do whatever the company arranges. She is honest and obedient without much ambition. She has a sense of going with the flow.
Yang Mi is just the opposite. She is surprisingly ambitious and is not a quiet person. Her determination to climb up can be seen from her job change from RXD to Huayi. She is always the most active in the competition for internal resources in the company. In addition, this little girl will judge people by their status and is a little snobbish.
Jing Tian is a girl who works hard and is diligent, but she always lacks a little star luck. In terms of acting, she is not as spiritual as other girls. Fortunately, she is willing to study hard, and with a good figure and a good face, she can't be a powerful actress, but she is more than enough to be a qualified idol.
As for Zhao Liying, it is not an exaggeration to describe her as blessed by nature. She has a strong character, talent, and a very pleasing appearance. Her shortcoming is that she lacks confidence. In addition, she lacks initiative in communication. She has been in the company for more than two years, and I have never heard that she has any good friends in the company.
Compared with the above four, Nie Wei has the highest expectations for Zheng Shuang.
This girl is spiritual in acting and looks very pleasing. She is 1.68 meters tall and has a pair of long legs that everyone envies. She also has a good personality. Since joining Huayi and becoming famous, Zheng Shuang's sunny side has been infinitely magnified. She is cheerful and generous to people and things.
And this girl has a rare leadership charm. She has the most friends in the company, and Zheng Shuang has the best reputation. Many young men and women have established small groups around Zheng Shuang.
In Nie Wei's eyes, Zheng Shuang is an ambitious but sensible girl.
For an actor of the girl's age, Nie Wei's evaluation is already very high. You know, many famous young artists can't keep their mentality stable at all, and they are easily floating, but Zheng Shuang is obviously very calm.
This is obviously different from the little girl who had plastic surgery and let herself go in the original time and space. This may be related to the different growth experiences between the two. In addition to suffering some grievances in the training school at the beginning, Zheng Shuang in this time and space has been well taken care of after joining Huayi.
In addition, her peers around her are also very excellent, growing together, making Zheng Shuang's heart stronger.
Thinking of this, Nie Wei really thinks that he should prepare a script tailored for Zheng Shuang, and this script should at least allow Zheng Shuang's career to reach a higher level.
Nie Wei read the news online in the office, and then played Go with Luo Kai. However, before the game was over, a staff member came to inform Nie Wei to go to the conference room for a meeting.
This meeting was mainly about "Nirvana in Fire", which was to be the successor to "Zhu Xian". Both TV series would be broadcast by Mingzhu TV, which is also the best TV station in China to cooperate with Huayi. Even though this TV station has changed two directors, each new director has a very positive attitude towards cooperation with Huayi.
After all, their predecessors got the opportunity to be promoted quickly because of their cooperation with Huayi.
After the meeting, Nie returned to his office. Just as he was about to pack up and go to the special effects company to see the progress of the film production, someone knocked on the door of Nie Wei's office.
Luo Kai opened the door and welcomed the person outside into the room. Nie Wei looked and saw that it was Wang Baoqiang.
The young man bared his big white teeth and looked at Nie Wei with a silly smile after entering the room, obviously very excited.
"What's wrong? Is there anything happy you want to tell me?" Nie Wei put down the documents he was sorting and asked Wang Baoqiang with a smile.
"Well, Brother Nie, I do have a happy event. I got a girlfriend last year. We've been together for more than a year. I feel pretty good. I want to get married recently, so I want to report to you." Wang Baoqiang said with a smile.
He has no psychological burden about getting married. He is not one of those idols. He is an actor. He is old enough to get married and have children. It's that simple.
When Nie Wei heard that Wang Baoqiang was in love, he did not show joy at the first time. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked a little strange.
