Chapter 883 983. Two resources
"Never filmed it." Zheng Shuang and Li Yifeng shook their heads at the same time, especially Zheng Shuang, who looked obviously frustrated and secretly glanced at Nie Wei.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious, she was just 'blaming' Nie Wei for not giving her a chance.
"It doesn't matter, there's no need to rush to film a movie, at your age, you should focus on studying." Huang Lei's occupational disease obviously broke out when facing the two juniors, and he couldn't help but teach them every three sentences.
"Well, teacher, I know." Zheng Shuang replied obediently, and Li Yifeng also nodded quickly.
The topic of the movie was quickly skipped. Although chatting is indispensable in variety shows, it can't be done all the time, especially this kind of pure chatting should be stopped at the right time.
Then the program group announced the process, asking the five people in Taoyuan House to grow vegetables in the fields in exchange for the ingredients needed in the evening.
"We still need two pounds of tenderloin. Please name a price." Huang Lei said to the program team. The tenderloin was naturally for the promised sweet and sour pork. As for the ingredients for other dishes, they had already bought them in the morning, so there was no need to argue with the program team.
When the directors of the program team heard this, they immediately began to whisper to each other, obviously discussing how to order the five people from Taoyuan House.
"Look at their sneaky eyes, they are always planning to do bad things." Huang Lei looked at the directors with disdain, and didn't forget to say a few words to them.
When the directors who were discussing heard this, they couldn't help but blush, but no one refuted, but continued to communicate, pretending that they didn't hear what Huang Lei said.
"Nie Wei, don't you say to deal with such employees? If I were you, I would deduct their bonuses this month. They dare to order the boss around. They are going to go to heaven." Huang Lei didn't stop talking because of the directors' neglect. Instead, he turned around and asked Nie Wei, the boss, to help.
Nie Weiyi immediately understood how to cooperate after hearing this.
"What's a one-month bonus? It's almost time to give out half-year bonuses. If they don't perform well, I think we can just give up the half-year bonuses."
The directors who were discussing over there shuddered when they heard what Nie Wei said.
Although they all knew that Nie Wei was joking, it was too scary. That was a half-year bonus. According to their benefits, the half-year bonus every year was at least six figures. If it was really deducted, the loss would be too great.
They could ignore Huang Lei's words, but even if they knew Nie Wei's words were a joke, they had to weigh them.
The directors made a quick decision and pushed out the youngest director, Li Cai.
"Ahem, we've discussed it." Li Cai looked back at his team with resentment while speaking, but the result was that a group of people turned their eyes away, and no one wanted to look at him.
What kind of partners are these? You can't bully me just because I'm young and inexperienced, Li Cai thought with a sad face, but there was nothing he could do, because he was the youngest in the director group.
Seeing Nie Wei's threatening eyes, Li Cai swallowed nervously and continued: "If you want two pounds of tenderloin, you must plant the chive field this afternoon."
After saying that, Li Cai did not forget to find the simple map of Taoyuan House, and then told the five people in Taoyuan House which chive field was.
After looking at the map, Nie Wei was sure that the director group really took care of everyone. At least looking at the map, this chive field was definitely the smallest one among the several vegetable fields.
But when everyone came to the vegetable field, they found that they thought too simply.
The chive field was indeed the smallest of the several vegetable fields near Taoyuan House, but that was relative. Nie Wei looked at it and found that the chive field was at least half an acre, which was far from the area of a small vegetable garden that he had initially thought.
"It's too much, such a large field, and only five of us?" Huang Lei complained loudly.
"That's right, and do you know how high the temperature is today? It's 36 degrees!!! We are already sweating just walking here, and you want us to plant all the fields. Do you want this program to be recorded only for this episode?" Seeing such a large field, even the usually calm and indifferent teacher He was not calm.
Li Yifeng looked at the large field in front of him with a sad face, and Zheng Shuang was so angry that she pouted her mouth and stared at the directors of the program team with dissatisfaction.
"It seems that it's not just the half-year bonus, but even the year-end bonus is not wanted." Nie Wei was more direct. It was clearly the dog days of summer, but what he said made the director team feel as if they were naked in the coldest days of winter.
"That... you don't need to plant all of them, just plant these ten boxes of leek roots." Li Cai, who came to shoot, pointed to the leek roots that had just been unloaded from the truck and said.
"This is more or less." Looking at the ten boxes of leek roots, Huang Lei's mood finally improved a little.
Although the leek roots seem to be quite a lot, it is at least much better than planting the entire field. These can only plant about one-third of the field. If you really want to plant the whole field, I am afraid that thirty boxes of leek roots will not be enough.
With Huang Lei's words, the deal between the two parties was concluded.
Next is the time to plant vegetables, but before planting vegetables, there must be a teaching mode. After all, no one except Huang Lei knows how to plant.
"It is very simple to plant leeks. Do you see the small hoe in my hand? You just need to dig a small hole and put the leek roots in it. You only need to leave a small section on top. It's that simple. When everything is planted, we will water it once, and then we can probably eat the leeks we planted in more than a month."
"Have you learned it all?" After planting a leek root himself, Huang Lei looked up and asked the other four people.
"I understand, it's so simple, I'll try it too." He Jiong took the lead and took up a basket of leek roots with great effort to plant them next to Huang Lei.
Seeing this, Nie Wei and others naturally couldn't just stand by and watch, so they all took action.
The program team had already found someone to plow the land for planting leeks. The ridges were clearly defined, and everyone didn't need to discuss how to plant. They tacitly occupied one ridge and planted it.
Zheng Shuang naturally chose the ridge next to Nie Wei.
"Brother, I want to make a movie." Just when Nie Wei had just planted five leek roots, he heard a faint voice next to his ear.
The person who spoke was naturally Zheng Shuang. As the saying goes, the crying child gets the milk. Zheng Shuang felt that this was very true. Everything should be actively sought, including the opportunity to act in a movie. Otherwise, it would take a long time for Nie Wei to remember her.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to help you choose a movie script when we get back to the company." Nie Wei agreed readily.
After all, Zheng Shuang is not that kind of little star. Among the young actresses born in the 1990s in the entertainment industry, Zheng Shuang's popularity is absolutely the first. If such an actress wants to act in a movie, there are countless directors who are willing to hand the script to Zheng Shuang. At that time, Zheng Shuang may not be able to choose.
But who would have thought that Nie Wei agreed readily, but Zheng Shuang was still not satisfied.
"Brother, what I said is that I want to make a movie directed by you." Zheng Shuang emphasized.
"You are ambitious, girl." Nie Wei was a little surprised, and then smiled: "If you really want to make a movie directed by me, then you have to work hard, at least your strength is not enough now." Nie Wei said very directly.
After all, the movies he is making now are all worth hundreds of millions of dollars, requiring actors to be not only popular but also strong. Of course, if Zheng Shuang just wants to play a cameo role, of course it is okay, but Nie Wei also knows that Zheng Shuang definitely doesn't want a cameo role with only one or two lines, but an important role.
Zheng Shuang's current acting skills are indeed not competitive. For example, let's take the upcoming film "Inception" as an example. Any actress who plays an important role in the film is more than one step ahead of Zheng Shuang's current acting skills.
Zheng Shuang pouted unhappily, looking unwilling.
Artists in Huayi know that the company's resources are divided into two types. One is the resources from Nie Wei, and the rest are the other.
It's not that the rest of the resources are not good. Huayi is the top company in the Chinese entertainment industry. It can be said that it has the most high-quality resources in the entire Chinese agency. Take movies for example. In addition to Nie Wei, the company also has a number of first-line directors such as Feng Xiaogang, Chen Jiashang, and Lu Chuan.
Their movies are also well-known and box office in the circle, which is what many stars dream of.
But everything is afraid of comparison.
Although the company has many other resources, and there are many good ones, they are somewhat inferior to those provided by Nie Wei.
For example, Alan, the most popular singer of Huayi Records, and Zhang Liangying, their hit songs were all written by Nie Wei, so they are undoubtedly popular. The rest of the singers are still in a state of being neither popular nor unpopular.
If records are not Huayi's strong point, then the same is true for film and television.
All the artists that Nie Wei wants to promote have not failed so far, and all the artists who have been promoted by Nie Wei have a very good reputation. Whether it is TV drama production or film production, almost 99% of the artists in the company think that they most hope to star in Nie Wei's works.
Zheng Shuang naturally wanted to star in the works directed by Nie Wei, but she didn't expect that Nie Wei would directly refuse her as soon as she proposed it.
Zheng Shuang felt so ashamed, embarrassed, and sad.
"Why don't you talk?" Nie Wei looked at Zheng Shuang pouting her little mouth and working hard with an unhappy face, so he smiled and teased her to talk.
"You have rejected me, what else can I say." Zheng Shuang replied with an unhappy tone.
"I rejected you, but won't you try again?" Nie Wei didn't care about Zheng Shuang's temper and continued to tease her.
Hearing this, Zheng Shuang's eyes lit up. She really thought Nie Wei would give her a chance, and hurriedly asked happily: "Brother, are you serious?"
"Not true, even if you try again now, I won't give you a chance." Nie Wei rejected Zheng Shuang again.
Zheng Shuang was so angry that she almost cried.
Seeing that Zheng Shuang was about to cry, Nie Wei also quickly put away his smile, and said to Zheng Shuang seriously while working: "Xiao Shuang, you haven't acted in a movie yet, and you have no experience in filming movies. Of course, I dare not give you an important role. I believe that with your self-esteem, you don't want to play a role that is just a cameo, right?"
"Yeah." Zheng Shuang lowered her head to work and responded softly. The voice was very small. If Nie Wei hadn't had good ears, he would have ignored it directly.
But knowing the response, Nie Wei knew that this girl could take his words to heart, so it was easy to say.
"You've been acting in idol dramas before, and your acting skills are actually limited to the idol drama model. Today, Teacher Huang mentioned movies and asked you about it, so I felt that I should let you develop in the film industry. So even if you don't mention it, I will select some movie scripts and good roles for you to hone your skills."
"Don't you love playing Dragon Quest? Then you should know that a hero can't defeat a dragon right from the start. A hero also needs to practice and gain experience before he can face challenges. Isn't that right?"
Zheng Shuang nodded, but this time she didn't lower her head. Instead, she looked at Nie Wei with high morale.
"Brother, let's make a deal. If I have enough training, you must give me a role, not a guest role." Zheng Shuang said.
"Of course, we can make a pinky promise." Nie Wei stretched out his little finger, and Zheng Shuang also smiled and raised his little finger. After hooking together, Zheng Shuang didn't forget to recite the oath: "Pinky promise, never change for a hundred years, whoever cheats is a puppy."
After making the pinky promise, Nie Wei rubbed Zheng Shuang's long hair lovingly. Zheng Shuang shrank her neck, a little shy.
With Nie Wei's promise, Zheng Shuang was really motivated in the following farm work. The fighting spirit made Huang Lei and others look at her sideways, not to mention the program team. After completing the planting task, it was Zheng Shuang who did the most.
"Xiao Shuang, it's OK. I will definitely make you this pot-wrapped pork tonight. What else do you want to eat? I'm going all out today and will give you another dish." Zheng Shuang performed so well that Huang Lei felt that it would be unreasonable not to reward her.
"Teacher Huang, no need. So many dishes are enough." Zheng Shuang kept shaking her hands and refused. She had just done farm work and she had infinite sympathy for the three hosts of Taoyuan House.
She also understood the rules. Farm work in exchange for ingredients, she was fine, she only needed to participate in one episode, but these three had to do it for many episodes, and she had also seen the map. There were so many fields to plant. Anyway, Zheng Shuang felt that if she asked for one more dish, she would feel guilty.
"Teacher Huang, don't be impulsive." He Jiong on the side also hurriedly advised.
"Is that so? Forget it then." Huang Lei immediately said, he actually felt a little uneasy after saying that. Reality shows are not like the old variety shows. The production team really let everyone work in the fields.
"Don't talk about that, director. Here are the watermelons I got for cutting wood. Hurry up and prepare them for us!" With Nie Wei's words, everyone's eyes lit up. After all, they have been busy for more than an hour. If they can have a bite of watermelon at this time, it will definitely be a pleasure.
Thanks to Eris, War Falcon, Fantasy Paradise, and 0773 for their generous rewards.
