Chapter 831 931. Warning
Not only Wang Zhonglei, but everyone present was looking at Nie Wei with surprise.
You should know that this kind of meeting is not the first time, and Nie Wei is not the first time to participate, but Nie Wei has basically never raised any opinions in such meetings.
What's more, this time Nie Wei spoke up just for a supporting actress. More importantly, who is that Li Feifei? She actually asked Nie Wei to help her fight for a role.
Director Chen Yongkang subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head. Just when he was about to speak, he saw Nie Wei looking directly at him. The pressure made him swallow his words back.
Just look at the embarrassed look on his face, don't mention how obvious it is.
Because he was asked by a friend to arrange this role. He originally thought that he was just here to make a report today. After all, for a role that is not the first female lead or even the second female lead, no one would object.
But the thing he thought was the most unlikely to happen happened, and the key point was that the person who opposed it was actually the company's big boss Nie Wei. Chen Yongkang felt even worse than being fucked by a dog at this time. On the one hand, it was the recommendation of a friend, and on the other hand, it was the pressure from the boss.
He thought for a full three seconds, and finally spoke again: "The candidate recommended by Mr. Nie must be more suitable."
This made the screenwriter Xia Guohui on the side roll his eyes directly. What about the friendship that was promised? Did you give up so easily? However, as someone who was also asked, Xia Guohui could only silently complain in his heart at this moment, but he did not dare to express even a little opposition.
After all, it was Nie Wei who asked, who would confront the big boss on such a small role?
As for the request of that person, the two could only tacitly say sorry in their hearts at the same time, after all, their relationship was not yet to the extent that they could stand up to Nie Wei for him.
What's more, both of them felt that their small bodies could not withstand the pressure from Nie Wei. If one of them was not good, they might have to pay the price.
This was originally just a routine meeting, but the atmosphere became weird after Nie Wei suddenly spoke up to oppose a minor role.
For a period of time afterwards, director Chen Yongkang was cautious in his tone when making reports, and every time he read out a role candidate, he would pause and secretly look at Nie Wei. Seeing that Nie Wei did not react, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to speak.
After a meeting, director Chen Yongkang and screenwriter Xia Guohui both fled the meeting room in a hurry.
Nie Wei did not leave, because he knew that Wang Zhonglei would definitely ask him why he did this.
Sure enough, after everyone left the meeting room, Wang Zhonglei immediately asked his secretary to close the door of the meeting room. The second the door closed, Wang Zhonglei could not help asking Nie Wei.
"Why Li Feifei?"
"I just think she is more suitable." Nie Wei responded, but this answer obviously did not make Wang Zhonglei feel reasonable.
After all, Nie Wei had not even seen the actress who was recommended at the beginning, how could he know that she was not suitable, and that Li Feifei was more suitable?
In Wang Zhonglei's opinion, Nie Wei must have other reasons for doing this.
"I just don't want to see some people borrowing the company's resources to pick up girls. This time I just want to give him a warning." Nie Wei didn't want to hide it and told Wang Zhonglei the reason directly.
"What does this have to do with picking up girls? Are you talking about the two people who just went out...?" Wang Zhonglei couldn't help frowning when he said this.
Seeing that Wang Zhonglei was wrong, Nie Wei waved his hand and said, "It's not them. They were both asked by others. At most, they are accomplices. The mastermind is someone else, that is, Huang Xiaoming who just got into trouble!"
"It's him!?" Wang Zhonglei widened his eyes in surprise. He couldn't imagine how this was related to Huang Xiaoming again.
"No wonder, no wonder, no wonder you want to use Li Feifei as a replacement... No, you mean Huang Xiaoming is trying to pick up girls? He found a girlfriend so quickly?"
"How is that possible? They have known each other for a long time. I guess Huang Xiaoming and Li Feifei broke up probably because of this Hong Kong actress." Nie Wei leaned back in his chair, looked at Wang Zhonglei, and said, "I think it's a good idea to use this incident to calm him down."
"It's time to calm him down." Wang Zhonglei said almost gritting his teeth.
As the boss of an entertainment company, what he hates most is the kind of artist who always causes trouble for him, even if he is a first-line star. You have to know that this is Huayi, not a second- or third-rate agency that insists on holding a big star in the palm of its hand as a treasure.
In Huayi, the last thing they lack is big stars.
Just when Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei had finished discussing, Chen Yongkang also called Huang Xiaoming to inform him of the "mission failure".
"Mr. Nie personally rejected it and recommended an actress named Li Feifei." Chen Yongkang expressed his helplessness on the phone.
However, Huang Xiaoming on the other side felt his heart pounding when he heard Nie Wei reject it and recommend Li Feifei. He felt panicked.
For no reason, he felt that Nie Wei already knew his purpose, which made him suddenly feel a little scared. He even couldn't care about Chen Yongkang's embarrassment. He agreed to it in a muddle and hung up the phone.
Chen Yongkang on the other side held the phone with a bad face. It was really Huang Xiaoming's attitude that was too perfunctory. Was he dissatisfied with his failure to accomplish this?
Chen Yongkang felt uncomfortable. It was just a dinner for him. It was not his fault that it didn't work out. It was Nie who cut him off. As a director, could he withstand the pressure from the big boss of the company?
The more Chen Yongkang thought about it, the angrier he got. He was thinking about whether to find another role to compensate Huang Xiaoming, but now he didn't want to.
At this time, Huang Xiaoming was worried.
He was scared and embarrassed. After all, he had already told the big talk to the one from Gangdu, but the result was that it was a failure!
He was now entangled in whether Nie Wei had discovered his little secret, and he didn't know how to reply to the actress from Gangdu. He was so worried that he wanted to pull out all the hair on his head. For the first time, he began to reflect on whether he was really a failure in love.
Just when Huang Xiaoming was worried to the point of being exhausted, Li Feifei was not doing well either.
When her agent knew that she had approached Huayi for love, she almost fainted. After all, that was Huayi, the top entertainment company in China, with a huge influence.
As for their company, it was barely second-rate in the industry at best, because the boss was relatively rich and willing to invest. However, no matter how rich they were, they could not compare with the rich people in Huayi, not to mention the connections in the circle.
After she knew about Li Feifei's situation, she was most afraid that this girl would make trouble in Huayi for love. If Huayi held a grudge against her, Li Feifei's acting career, which had just started, could be directly declared over.
However, when the agent who was waiting at the door of Li Feifei's house looked at Li Feifei who came back with red eyes, most of the anger in his heart turned into sympathy.
Because Li Feifei's expression, she knew without asking that her relationship must be not going well, and it might have ended.
Sure enough, as soon as the two entered the house, before the agent closed the door, Li Feifei had already squatted on the ground with her mouth wide open and burst into tears.
"Girl, why do you want to find a boyfriend like that? I tell you, Huang Xiaoming is not suitable for you at all. Look at his peach blossom eyes, he looks like he is flirting with everyone. Even if he doesn't want to change his heart, those girls who are seduced by him keep teasing him. A normal man can't stand it."
"And to be honest, he is a big star who is high above, and you are just a newcomer. Even if you two can continue, I'm afraid it won't last long. You see that he has been playing an underground relationship with you and you should know the reason. If you were a queen now, I'm afraid he would have been eager to announce your relationship."
"Girl, be realistic. Let's play the role well and climb up little by little. Besides, with your conditions, are you afraid that you can't find a good man?"
The agent pulled Li Feifei to persuade her for a long time. Li Feifei didn't answer a word, just cried there. When she was tired of crying, she stopped for a while, and then continued to cry until she fell asleep leaning on her own sofa. The agent stopped talking and sighed tiredly.
However, when the agent finally helped Li Feifei to the sofa after being exhausted and sweating, she remembered that she had not asked the girl what happened today.
"Forget it, I'll ask tomorrow. I just hope I didn't cause any trouble." Li Feifei's agent couldn't help but sigh again. Looking at Li Feifei curled up on the sofa, she really couldn't bear to torment this girl anymore. Those bad things would be mentioned after she woke up.
As for what actions Huayi would take during this period, it could only be left to fate.
The next day, Li Feifei's agent received a call from Li Feifei. Li Feifei's voice was a little hoarse on the phone. It was not known whether it was due to excessive sadness or she caught a cold from sleeping on the sofa last night. Anyway, Li Feifei was sick.
When the agent heard it, he quickly asked Li Feifei to take medicine, and then told her that she would go to take care of Li Feifei in the afternoon.
"Alas, none of them are worry-free." After hanging up the phone, Li Feifei's agent muttered, and then saw two young girls in their twenties in front of him looking at him curiously, and immediately scolded: "What are you looking at? I'm talking about you. You have interviewed so many crews, but none of them responded. You still have the leisure to gossip, and you don't read books properly. Don't you work hard to improve your acting skills!?"
The two girls suffered an unexpected disaster, and they lowered their heads to read books like frightened quails.
Li Feifei's agent snorted, and was about to finish the work at hand as soon as possible to take care of Li Feifei. At this time, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
"Hello, hello." The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number, but the agent still picked up the phone immediately. Who knows if it will be a call from a crew.
"Crew, which crew?" Ten seconds later, Li Feifei's agent's surprised voice sounded.
Hearing the keyword "crew", the two little girls who were not paying attention to the book pricked up their ears at the same time. Each of them was obviously a little excited, thinking that it was a call from the crew they had auditioned for.
However, when they saw that the other party had the same expression, they snorted at the same time and turned their heads away, looking like they looked down on each other.
Li Feifei's agent didn't notice the little movements of these two people at all, because at this time her attention was attracted by the content of the phone call, and she was even shocked.
"Are you serious?"
"It's true. I just had a meeting this morning. I informed you as soon as I got your contact information. The general content of the movie is what I just said. I wonder if Miss Li Feifei is interested in this role?"
"I... Li Feifei is sick and didn't come to the company today. So, I will go to her house to find her immediately. I will inform you as soon as I get a reply, okay?" Li Feifei's agent almost agreed immediately.
Fortunately, her reason prevailed at the last moment. After all, this was an invitation from Huayi's movie. What if Li Feifei, who was heartbroken by the big star of Huayi, didn't want to do it?
After hanging up the phone, the agent didn't care about others. He picked up his coat, took the car keys and ran towards the elevator. The two girls who stayed in the office looked disappointed. It was obvious that they also knew that the opportunity just now was not theirs.
Li Feifei's agent went downstairs while calling Li Feifei. As soon as the call was connected, the agent said immediately without even saying hello: "Fei Fei, there is good news!"
"Sister, what good news can there be?" Li Feifei smiled bitterly on the other end of the phone and said.
"It's really good news. A movie invites you to play one of the heroines. The call just came to my mobile phone. As long as you nod, this role is yours." The agent said excitedly.
You should know that in this circle, movies are always the highest pursuit of an actor. For Li Feifei, who has been in the industry for three years and is in a second-rate agency, this opportunity is obviously too difficult.
However, Li Feifei was not excited at all after hearing what the agent said. Instead, she was full of doubts about this pie in the sky.
"Movies, what movies will find me?"
"Uh... I'll tell you in person after I get to your house."
"Okay then." Li Feifei didn't insist. He was heartbroken and physically uncomfortable. At this time, he was exhausted physically and mentally, and he had no energy to dig into the details.
The agent who hung up the phone was thinking about how to persuade Li Feifei to take the movie. After all, in her opinion, this is definitely the best role that Li Feifei can get since her debut. Not only is the role shining, but the actors acting with her are also big names. Such an opportunity is something he dared not dream of before receiving the call today.
