Chapter 850 950. The popular Nirvana in Fire
Just when Ma Lian's parents complained about why Wang Baoqiang didn't tell them about his relationship with Nie Wei earlier, Nie Wei had already brought Alan to the garage and prepared to go out to solve the lunch problem.
After all, Nie Wei had sent his and Alan's lunch to Wang Baoqiang's table.
Nie Wei recommended a private restaurant that he used to eat often. Alan was also tempted by the memory and agreed immediately.
Nie Wei first called the owner of the private restaurant and confirmed that there was a seat today. Then he drove Alan to the private restaurant.
On the way to the private restaurant, Alan thought about the change in attitude of Wang Baoqiang's father-in-law and mother-in-law just now, and couldn't help complaining.
"It was a waste for his father-in-law and mother-in-law not to apply for the Film and Television Academy. If I hadn't eavesdropped on their conversation before, I would have believed how much they liked Huayi Canteen based on what they said just now."
"Brother, how dare they say such things? Don't they feel guilty?" Alan asked.
"How could they not feel guilty? They dare not look me in the eye." Nie Wei replied with a smile.
"Brother, you are awesome. You silenced those two with just a few words and saved Brother Baoqiang. Otherwise, I really couldn't stand it. It was too bullying."
"Isn't it for my daughter? Maybe your parents are even more powerful than Ma Lian's parents when they see your boyfriend." As soon as Nie Wei finished speaking, Alan denied it angrily: "How is it possible? My parents wouldn't be like that."
"Then what are the standards for your partner, uncle and aunt?"
"My parents are very open-minded. They only have two requirements. One is physical and mental health, and the other is to treat me well. It's that simple. As for handsomeness or money, it doesn't matter.
Alan was obviously a little proud when she mentioned her parents' attitude towards her love. This was mainly because she really felt that her parents were too open-minded after listening to Ma Lian's parents' requirements for Wang Baoqiang.
"Then your parents are indeed quite open-minded. "Nie Wei also nodded in acknowledgment at this time, but it seems to be related to Alan's rapid career development in recent years. Now Alan has tens of millions of income every year, and his net worth has already exceeded 100 million.
Alan is a filial child, and her parents have also been enjoying a good life with Alan in recent years.
So except for super luxury goods such as airplanes and yachts, their family has nothing lacking in material enjoyment, and under the condition of material satisfaction, people will naturally need more spiritual satisfaction.
This is why there are very few people who advocate rescuing small animals and protecting nature who have poor living conditions. After all, if their basic lives are difficult to guarantee, how can they have the leisure to save this and that?
"Brother, do you think Ma Lian's parents will embarrass Brother Baoqiang again?" After a moment of silence, Alan suddenly asked again.
"Not today, but not necessarily in the future. "Nie Wei gave an ambiguous answer, but in fact the answer in his heart was affirmative. If Wang Baoqiang didn't change his attitude, he was destined to be bullied.
It's strange to say that when ordinary people fall in love with celebrities, it's often the ordinary people who accommodate the celebrities.
But Ma Lian and Wang Baoqiang are just the opposite. Wang Baoqiang always accommodates Ma Lian. I think Wang Baoqiang's inferiority complex has not been completely erased by his fame, so he is always in a weak position in this relationship.
But this matter can only be dealt with by Nie Wei if he encounters it. The most important thing is Wang Baoqiang Whether he can wake up, but at this stage, it seems that this is not an easy problem to achieve.
He took Alan to a private restaurant for a late lunch. When the two came out of the private restaurant, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Nie Wei first sent Alan home, and then drove back to his villa.
When Nie Wei entered the house, he happened to see Shu Chang making coffee. Seeing Nie Wei coming back, Shu Chang smiled and asked him if he wanted it. After getting a negative answer, Shu Chang walked to Nie Wei who had just sat down with coffee.
"Tell me, why did you betray me again?" Shu Chang just sat down next to Nie Wei and put on an interrogative attitude.
"What are you talking about? How did I betray you?"
"What's the matter with Ma Lian?" Shu Chang reminded.
After hearing this keyword, Nie Wei suddenly realized and said, "It turned out to be Ma Lian. By the way, how did you answer her?"
"What are you pretending for? Isn't it because of you that she called me? "Shu Chang rolled his eyes at Nie Wei. This guy was still acting for him at this time.
Nie Wei smiled and explained: "I just said it casually. I didn't expect her to call you."
"I was also shocked when I received her call." Shu Chang smiled and said: "I really didn't expect her to call me and ask me to go shopping."
"It seems that you didn't agree." Nie Wei calculated the time. If Shu Chang really agreed, the other party should still be shopping at this time, and it is impossible to drink coffee at home.
Sure enough, Shu Chang immediately explained and used the busy work to prevaricate Ma Lian on the phone, and Nie Wei also briefly talked about what happened in the cafeteria today at noon.
"Too bullying." Shu Chang's reaction was exactly the same as Alan's. She couldn't help but feel angry for Wang Baoqiang when Nie Wei was only halfway through.
"You really need to talk to Wang Baoqiang when you have time. "Shu Chang was angry for a while, and finally pulled Nie Wei to say that he couldn't bear to see an honest man like Wang Baoqiang being bullied.
"I can't say this directly." Nie Wei shook his head, but when he saw Shu Chang raised his eyebrows, he immediately changed his words and said, "Okay, I'll find a time to talk to him, but I don't think Baoqiang will listen to me."
"Who said that? Baoqiang listens to you the most except Sister Fan." Shu Chang said.
But when he heard this, Nie Wei's eyes lit up. Yes, there is also Xu Fan. If he talks to Xu Fan about this, he will definitely support Baoqiang with his sense of justice.
"Looking for Sister Fan? You can think of it." Shu Chang couldn't help laughing after hearing Nie Wei's thoughts. Nie Wei looked helpless and explained, "It's really hard for me to talk about this. I'm his boss, not his parents. Besides, in this era, even parents rarely interfere in their children's marriages. He is willing to fight and suffer, and what can I do as a friend?"
"That's right." Shu Chang put himself in Nie Wei's shoes and felt that Nie Wei was indeed in a difficult situation, so he didn't force him to take care of this matter.
Seeing that the topic was over, Shu Chang prepared to go to the study to read, while Nie Wei sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
Time passed unknowingly, and the annual Huayi Star Family Concert was once again held at the Workers' Stadium. 80,000 fans gathered together, and the still hot and shocking scene was on the headlines of most entertainment media the next day.
In the first week after New Year's Day, there was another good news for Nie Wei, that is, the complete completion of "The Martian".
"The Martian" was completed at two o'clock in the morning of the fifth day after New Year's Day. Nie Wei knew the news in advance and had been waiting in the special effects company with all the staff to work hard for this last bit. When the final result was completed, Nie Wei called Wang Zhonglei overnight regardless of how late it was, and informed him to go to the company to watch the film.
Originally, Wang Zhonglei was very angry when he was woken up by the phone in the middle of the night, but when he heard that "The Martian" was completed, he immediately didn't care about being angry, and hurriedly got dressed and went to the company. He was even anxious and didn't call the driver, but drove directly there.
Because his home was far away, it took Wang Zhonglei about 40 minutes to get to the company, and Nie Wei had been waiting for him in the projection room for more than ten minutes, accompanied by several executives who had come to the company. M
Seeing that everyone was there, Nie Wei took the initiative to act as a projectionist and put the prepared master tape into the projection equipment.
Three hours later, everyone walked out of the projection room with shocked and excited expressions, and there was no feeling of not waking up when they first came.
As for the evaluation of the movie, the five people present except Nie Wei gave it a 100-point evaluation.
In their opinion, such a good movie will definitely be a hit.
Now the only thing left is the issue of censorship and distribution. Nie Wei does not need to worry about the domestic market. Nie Wei mainly needs to consider the American market.
Now Nie Wei regards it as one of his most important vote banks, and naturally does not want any accidents to happen.
Moreover, Nie Wei was not going to give up the distribution share this time. With the cinema chain in hand, he was not worried. With the success of "Assassin's League" last time, Nie Wei did not worry about the distribution company at all. Nie Wei also believed in the quality of his film. After showing it to the managers of the distribution company, they would naturally understand what price to give him.
If Nie Wei calculated the time, he felt that if everything went well, "The Martian" would be released in the summer season.
The film matter finally came to an end. The remaining problems were handed over to the staff and the company's legal advisory team. Nie Wei also had a rare period of leisure.
In addition to morning exercises, Nie Wei spent the rest of his time accompanying Shu Chang to watch TV series.
For example, "Nirvana in Fire" has become a program that Shu Chang must watch every day. Since its broadcast, the online click rate of this fictional historical TV series has exceeded 3 billion, and the highest ratings have exceeded 8 points.
At the same time, because of the popularity of this TV series, it also set off an explosion of ancient costume power struggles.
I heard that there were twelve costume TV series that were noted last month, ten of which were about power struggles, and the remaining two were traditional martial arts.
It can be said that because of the popularity of "Nirvana in Fire", the entire market has directly led to TV series of this theme, but with such eagerness, the quality can be imagined.
Nie Wei hates these companies that only follow the trend. What this industry needs to develop is more creativity, not blind imitation, and even if it wants to imitate, at least it must take into account the quality issue.
For this reason, Nie Wei also specially published an article to satirize these companies that follow the trend.
Later, Huang Xiaoming, Liu Tao and other leading actors, as well as many Huayi stars and Nie Wei's friends in the circle also forwarded this article, which caused a great sensation for a while. The Weibo hot search index exceeded 100 million in just one day, becoming a "hot" news.
But it is obvious that Nie Wei's sarcasm is just a tickle for these shameless people. Some of them are really shameless and even went to Nie Wei's Weibo to get close to him and try to get attention. They also explained that they were not imitating but just paying tribute to the classics. However, your TV series, from the title to the character settings, is based on the settings of "Nirvana in Fire".
Moreover, these guys are very clever in their changes. They know how to play by the rules without being sued. How can they try to get the popularity of "Nirvana in Fire" within this scale?
This really makes Nie Wei feel like laughing and crying.
If these guys had the time to study these things, they would have made good TV series. But they spent their time on the wrong things.
The only thing that made Nie Wei happy was that at least most of the netizens supported him.
And because of Nie Wei's condemnation, it attracted many viewers who had not paid attention to "Nirvana in Fire". As a result, within a few days after the incident, the score of "Nirvana in Fire" rose sharply and broke through 10.
This is also the first TV series to break 10 after 2010.
Wang Zhonglei notified the media as soon as he got the results and announced that "Nirvana in Fire" would hold a second celebration banquet.
The media also reported on this, praising "Nirvana in Fire" for having locked the annual ratings champion in 2010 at the beginning of the year. And what they said is not without basis. Nowadays, there are really only a handful of TV series that can break 10.
And the most important thing is that "Nirvana in Fire" has not been finished, and the story is getting closer and closer to the climax. Everyone believes that the achievements of "Nirvana in Fire" will not stop at the current height.
The popularity of "Nirvana in Fire" has made Huang Xiaoming very proud recently. He himself did not expect that this TV series would be so popular. Even at this moment, he is somewhat fortunate that he lost to Cheng Kun in the casting of the movie, otherwise he might have missed this role.
Because of this role, his Weibo fans soared by 10 million in a month. In the past, Huang Xiaoming was always a little behind Cheng Kun, but after the popularity of "Nirvana in Fire", many media mentioned Huang Xiaoming, and they were already comparable to Cheng Kun.
Now Huang Xiaoming has already stepped half a foot into the ranks of top stars.
For this reason, Huang Xiaoming really wants to treat Nie Wei to a meal. After all, the original work of this TV series is Nie Wei, and it was also Nie Wei who chose him to play Mei Changsu. It is reasonable for him to treat this meal.
The most important thing is that he also hopes that this meal can make AB leave a good impression in front of Nie Wei and his wife. It would be even better if AB can get into Shu Chang's small circle.
After all, Shu Chang's small circle is full of first-line actors in the circle. If AB can integrate into it, he will really have someone to protect him wherever he goes when filming in China in the future.
Huang Xiaoming mentioned this idea to AB, and the latter naturally nodded and agreed without hesitation.
