Chapter 1057 1157. Ms. Rowling’s invitation

This Saturn Awards was a success for Nie Wei, but it was not perfect in the end. But it didn't matter. The harvest tonight was satisfactory to the average person.

So when the crew of "Inception" went to the dinner, they were in a good mood.

The celebration dinner of the Saturn Awards was held at the nearby Crowne Plaza Resort. In addition to the normal meals, there would be a beach fireworks show and a bonfire party in the evening. The dinner was not mandatory, but it was a good place for socializing. Unless there was a special reason, most people would not choose to refuse.

Shu Chang followed the non-awarded team to the dinner venue first, while Nie Wei, Zhang Ziyi and Dias, the winners, had to accept media interviews after the awards ceremony.

Especially Nie Wei, who won the three heavyweight trophies of Best Screenwriter, Best Actor and Best Director tonight. He was definitely the biggest individual winner tonight and naturally the focus of media pursuit.

"Mr. Nie Wei, congratulations on winning three trophies tonight. You have also become the first artist to win the Best Screenwriter, Best Director and Best Actor at the Saturn Awards. What do you think about this?"

"Feelings?" Nie Wei thought about it and couldn't help but smiled and replied: "Happy, excited, honored, in short, a lot of things. I think anyone who can win these honors on such a big stage will remember it as one of the glorious moments in his life."

"When you gave your acceptance speech just now, you mentioned Joseph several times. Are you dissatisfied with the fact that Joseph did not win the award?"

"Of course not. Compared with the award-winning predecessor Greg, Joseph does have some shortcomings. I mentioned him several times in the hope of inspiring him. After all, honor is one of the important driving forces for the improvement of actors. I believe that through the stimulation of these trophies in my hands tonight, Joseph should be more fully committed to his acting career, As a boss, I am very happy to see that my employees are active and hardworking. "

Nie Wei said the last sentence in a joking tone, and after saying it, he winked at the female reporter who was looking for trouble. The latter blushed slightly, thinking that no matter whether Nie Wei's answer satisfied her or not, she couldn't ask those sharp questions because of his appearance.

When Nie Wei answered, there was a chuckle at the scene. Everyone knew that Joseph was the only male actor under Max Films. Nie Wei's words seemed like a cunning boss painting a pie for his employees and stimulating them to work hard.

Of course, as long as you don't have a problem with your brain, you will know that when Nie Wei mentioned Joseph in his acceptance speech, he was not so capital, but simply out of encouragement from the director to the actor, or there was really a little bit of injustice in it.

However, after being passed by Nie Wei's joke, it was really difficult for everyone to ask questions in this regard, and turned to ask about the final grand prize.

"Mr. Nie Wei, regarding the final Best Film Award, many netizens now comment online that your Inception should be the winner, not Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. Some netizens even made a table showing that your Inception is ahead of The Dark Knight Rises in terms of both box office and word of mouth. What do you think about this?"

"It's been less than 20 minutes, right? Someone has made a table? Please tell me this person's ID. I really want to hire him to work in our company. He is so efficient." Nie Wei said exaggeratedly, causing another round of laughter at the scene.

After joking, Nie Wei's expression became serious.

"The winner of the grand prize is decided by the judges, and data is not the only criterion. Although I don't think Inception is worse than any other movie, I think Director Nolan deserves the award. He is my respected predecessor, and there should be no controversy about this trophy."

The reporters were very disappointed. They all hoped that Nie Wei would directly criticize the Saturn Award so that they would have news to write, but this young man who was less than 30 years old did not have the temper of a young man at all. Instead, he was like all the Chinese rich people over 40 or 50 years old that they had interviewed. They were all so smooth that people could not find any points worth digging into.

Maybe they also felt that they could not ask anything from Nie Wei. After asking a few more questions perfunctorily, the reporters asked Nie Wei to hold the trophy so that they could take a lot of photos as illustrations for tomorrow's newspapers and magazines, and then let Nie Wei leave.

Many of Nie Wei's fans stayed outside the venue. When they saw Nie Wei come out, they cheered at the same time, and there were also many congratulations.

In the eyes of these North American and Chinese fans, Nie Wei is not only their idol, but also their goal. After all, Nie Wei's age, experience, wealth and status are too legendary, which is what these young people in their twenties want.

There are many fans who stayed, about two or three hundred people. When they saw Nie Wei coming out, they all wanted to squeeze forward to get closer to Nie Wei. Because there was no organization, the scene was a bit chaotic for a while. Fortunately, the staff organized in time, and with the protection of Cheng Zimo, Nie Wei successfully found his nanny car.

However, during this process, Nie Wei lost one of his cuffs, and there were traces of fans' handprints on the sleeves and back of his suit, and the originally straight suit became a little wrinkled.

Diaz had been waiting in the nanny car for quite a long time. The reporters were all snobs. Although he won the award, he was just a behind-the-scenes staff after all, and there was no topic. The reporters asked Diaz three questions, two of which were related to Nie Wei, and then they impatiently drove him away.

Diaz was not annoyed by the reporters' snobbishness. He was not used to interviews. The sooner it ended, the sooner it would be relaxed. Moreover, because he won the award, he was happy and had no time to argue with those people.

After a while, Zhang Ziyi also came back. Her situation was much better than Nie Wei.

As Zhang Ziyi got in the car, the group did not go to the dinner party immediately, but went to the hotel first. There, everyone changed into a new set of clothes, especially Nie Wei. After all, his cufflinks were lost, and it would be too embarrassing to wear such clothes to attend the dinner party.

When Nie Wei and others arrived at the scene, the dinner had already been held for a while, but after Nie Wei appeared, he immediately became the focus of the entire dinner. Many people came up to greet Nie Wei and try to get close to him.

Nie Wei exchanged pleasantries and was delayed for more than ten minutes before he found Shu Chang and the others.

"Welcome our hero!!!" Seeing Nie Wei coming, Joseph took the lead in standing up and applauding.

Joseph's compliments were also justified by others. Look at the awards Nie Wei won, Best Screenwriter, Best Actor, Best Director. It is modest to say that he alone supported half of the film. Nie Wei is indeed the first-class contributor to the current achievements of "Inception". It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the hero of the entire crew.

Working with Nie Wei, including Joseph and Zhang Ziyi, all became famous, so even if the staff who did not win the award or even the nomination were disappointed, they were not discouraged. They all felt that following Nie Wei, they would eventually hold a decent trophy one day.

After everyone sat together and chatted for a while, Nie Wei was approached again.

The first person to come to Nie Wei was Scarlett Johansson from the Avengers crew. This mature, charming, and plump beauty greeted Nie Wei enthusiastically with a smile on her face. They had never met in private, but her enthusiasm was as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.

Shu Chang's face darkened immediately.

But it was not too late. Scarlett Johansson chatted with Nie Wei for a while and exchanged contact information. Anne Hathaway from the Batman crew also came over. This pure and lovely woman had a very boyish personality. After seeing Nie Wei, she had already drunk two glasses of red wine after a few words.

After a while, Jennifer Lawrence from "The Hunger Games" also came over and chatted with Nie Wei elegantly. In short, she expressed her respect and admiration for Nie Wei and hoped to cooperate with Nie Wei more...

In less than half an hour, the most dazzling beautiful female stars on the scene seemed to run to Nie Wei and chat for a while. It seemed unintentional, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Nie Wei was obviously a favorite in the eyes of these women.

However, Shu Chang on the side was not as angry as she was at the beginning, but was still laughing secretly, because after each female star left her phone number, Nie Wei pretended to enter it into his mobile phone, and then turned around and directly deleted the other party's backup in front of Shu Chang.

Shu Chang laughed secretly at Nie Wei's attitude.

Of course, after so many years, she also knew that Nie Wei's memory was far beyond that of ordinary people. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as photographic memory. Most people couldn't remember a string of numbers after just a glance, but it was not a problem for Nie Wei at all.

But Shu Chang didn't care. She just wanted Nie Wei's attitude, and Nie Wei's behavior undoubtedly made her very satisfied.

Soon the fourth woman appeared, but this time Shu Chang was really not jealous at all, because the one who came to see Nie Wei was JK Rowling, a great writer.

Born in 1965, JK Rowling is only four years younger than Nie Wei's mother Su Qing, and is completely an elder. No one would link her with Nie Wei to stir up a scandal.

If Shu Chang is jealous of JK Rowling, who is so old, then she is probably a reincarnation of a jealous person.

JK Rowling came to see Nie Wei for a different purpose from those actresses. She really had something to discuss with Nie Wei, but the two did not talk much at the dinner, but agreed to talk again at Max Films tomorrow.

Although Nie Wei was very curious about what this world-class writer wanted to do with him, it was not that he wanted to "re-cook" "Harry Potter" again.

Nie Wei felt that this was really unlikely. You know, the last work of the Harry Potter series was released at the end of 2011, less than two years ago. It is obviously unlikely to be remade again in such a short time.

Moreover, the copyright of the movie "Harry Potter" is in the hands of Warner Pictures. How could they give the company's pillar-level resources to other directors to shoot, even if this person is the latest Saturn Award for Best Director.

The most important thing is that the whole world knows that Nie Wei's new movie is about to start shooting. If he is asked to be the director, there will be no spare time. You can't let Nie Wei give up the new movie that has invested hundreds of millions of yuan and help others make movies.

After the dinner, Nie Wei asked Cheng Zimo to send Shu Chang back to the villa, and he made an appointment with Thomas to the company.

"I guess she asked you to come here for her new movie." After hearing Nie Wei's question, Thomas thought about it and replied.

"Ask me to be the director, Harry Potter?"

"It is very likely that you will be the director, but not Harry Potter, which is Warner's treasure. No one can touch it except their own people. I guess Ms. Rowling may want to adapt another book of hers into a movie."

"Which one?" Nie Wei asked subconsciously, but as soon as he finished speaking, a picture flashed through his mind: "You are not talking about the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"?"

"Bingo!" Thomas snapped his fingers and explained to Nie Wei with a smile: "In fact, about three or four months ago, similar news circulated in Hollywood privately. It is probably Ms. Rowling who spread the news. Now it seems that she seems to have made a choice. Boss, I suggest you take this task. It will be of great benefit to your personal development and the development of the company."

Thomas encouraged Nie Wei that if JK Rowling really asked Nie Wei to shoot "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", he could just use this opportunity to almost get the film copyright of this novel, and then Nie Wei would take charge of it and make it a golden signboard of Max Films.

You should know that what Max Films lacks the most so far is a series of works, which can be said to be the key to whether a film company can be promoted to the top.

Without a series of works as support, it is like a house without a load-bearing wall, which always gives people a very unstable feeling.

"Let's talk to Ms. Rowling tomorrow about the specific situation." Nie Wei did not agree on the spot, but did not completely refuse.

As the actual owner of the company, he also understands the importance of a series of works to the company. The key is Ms. Rowling's attitude. Does she want this novel describing the prequel of "Harry Potter" to be made into a series, or just one film.

There is also whether the start time will conflict with his new movie, or whether JK Rowling has already found a next home and just wants Nie Wei to make a movie, but is not prepared to leave the copyright to Max Films. These are all problems that can only be solved by face-to-face conversations.

"Don't worry, I will prepare everything." Thomas said.

He felt that he was busy tonight, but when faced with opportunities, he liked this kind of "overtime" very much.

Thanks to Qiangloverong for the generous reward of 500, and thanks to Fantasy Paradise for the generous reward.
