Chapter 1063 1163. Flattery

Some journalists paid a huge price, even their own lives, to expose the darkness of society and the cruelty of the battlefield. These journalists deserve respect from everyone.

But some people carry the name of journalists, but have no moral bottom line at all. Sometimes, for a piece of news, they use various means to track, chase cars and take secret photos. Even when the parties clearly refuse to be interviewed, they collectively raise their middle fingers near the other party's wedding to express their dissatisfaction.

Such people have a specific name for them in the circle, called entertainment reporters, and of course the public calls them paparazzi.

Nie Wei does not deny that there are positive characters in this circle, but for a long time, paparazzi basically bring negative news to the public, and they do not play too glorious roles in it.

For example, now, the first reporter who was called up did not ask questions to Nie Wei, the protagonist of the press conference, and even skipped Zhang Ziyi and Keanu Reeves directly, but threw the first question to Foy who was sitting in the corner.

This is obviously bullying Foy because she is young and cannot speak as carefully as Nie Wei and several other leading actors. Moreover, under such a sudden attack, Foy might be caught off guard and she might really dig out some explosive information.

The reporter asked her first, but Foy was not in the mood yet and did not hear clearly at all. She subconsciously said: "What did you say?"

"Ms. Foy, I heard that you got this role because you beat Chloë Grace Moretz in the audition. May I ask how you think you are better than Miss Chloë?"

This time Foy heard the reporter's question clearly and replied with a smile: "I still have a lot of shortcomings, and Sister Chloë has always been a role model for me to learn from."

"So you mean you are not as good as Chloë Grace Moretz, so why did Director Nie Wei choose you? Do you think Director Nie Wei has a problem with his vision of selecting people?" The reporter suddenly challenged.

Some normal questions are naturally not difficult for Foy. Although she is not very old, she has been in the circle for a while and has been interviewed by many media and has some experience.

However, due to her age and experience, she was obviously inexperienced. In addition, the reporter misinterpreted Foy's words, and Foy was confused on the spot and didn't know how to answer.

"Since you are questioning my judgment in choosing people, then this question should be answered by me." Nie Wei suddenly took over the question.

"I only have one condition for choosing people, that is, to fit the role itself. Miss Chloe is indeed very good, but I'm sorry, her age is not suitable for the role in my script, and in terms of appearance, Foy looks similar to Jessica Chastain, another adult version of our crew."

"So what you mean is that except for age and appearance, Foy is not as good as Miss Chloe in other aspects?" The reporter continued to ask.

Nie Wei's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. This reporter was obviously not in a normal interview posture, and he came here to create conflicts and disputes.

"This is just your conjecture, so you can't be a director, because in the eyes of directors, there is never a distinction between good and bad actors, there are only suitable and unsuitable. I think Foy is suitable, so I will use her, it's that simple."

"Director Nie Wei, please don't avoid my questions, Director Nie Wei?"

"Mr. Reporter, today is the press conference for my movie, not a Q\u0026A session for you alone. You have taken up a lot of other people's time. If you continue to disrupt the order of the scene, I will ask the security to let you go."

As Nie Wei's harsh words, there was a lot of discussion at the scene. Some reporters were in a good mood, hoping to prove that if the reporter continued to make trouble, they would have news to write.

Of course, some reporters felt that their rights were violated by this nonsense reporter. They were all a group of reporters who wanted to interview the content of Nie Wei's new movie.

"Director Nie Wei, I'm not making trouble. I just want an answer from you." The reporter who asked the question didn't take Nie Wei's warning seriously, or he didn't care about Nie Wei's warning at all.

The reporter made it clear that he was here to cause trouble, which made Nie Wei's eyes gradually cold.

Nie Wei did not answer, but directly signaled to Cheng Zimo who was standing beside him. The latter immediately understood Nie Wei's intention and came forward with two bodyguards wearing black suits and sunglasses. One of them grabbed the reporter's arm and dragged him out.

"Mr. Nie Wei, what do you want your bodyguard to do?"

"Mr. Nie Wei, is this your attitude towards reporters?"

"What are you going to do? Let me go, you bastards, let me go!!!"

"Nie Wei, you can't deprive me of the right to interview. I want to write an article to criticize what you did today. You wait..."

Watching the 200-pound woman being dragged out of the venue by two tall and strong bodyguards like a pig, and listening to the reporter's howling, it felt like this "pig" knew that it was going to be dragged to the slaughterhouse, full of despair and madness, which made the reporters present feel terrified.

They couldn't make a right or wrong evaluation of this matter.

As reporters, they felt a sense of grief over the loss of a rabbit, but everyone also understood that this reporter was asking for trouble entirely, and was simply trying to cause trouble. Many reporters thought that Nie Wei had a good temper as he patiently answered her several times, but they didn't expect that Nie Wei would be so scary when he was angry.

"I think we will never be able to wake up a person who is pretending to sleep. I also hope that the reporter asking questions below can abide by the rules of the film conference." Watching the reporter being pulled away, Nie Weicai made another summary, and then put his hand in his hand. handed the microphone to Zhang Ziyi who was standing aside.

Sure enough, the following question-and-answer session seemed much more normal.

For example, Joseph was asked by a reporter what they had learned during the secret training these days. For this reason, Joseph poured out his bitterness to the reporter.

"It was fine at first. It was just some dialogue and physical training, and there were dinner parties every night. I even gained a full three pounds in the first week. But in the second week, my nightmare came. The director He actually sent me to his farm and asked me to farm with the farmers there. "

Speaking of this, Joseph seemed to want to express how much he had suffered, and even started to wave his arms.

"You don't know, it's not the kind of planting with machines, but actually walking into the farmland, using your own legs, walking back and forth, and you have to learn how to look at the condition of the soil, and how to identify the growth of corn at the end of the day. , I feel like my legs are no longer my own.”

"But you also lost five pounds, didn't you? It just so happens that I don't have to find someone to supervise your weight loss." Nie Wei suddenly interjected from the side, leaving Joseph speechless.

There was a chuckle at the scene. Obviously, everyone could see that the two had a good relationship.

"Keanu, I heard that you also went farming with Joseph?" Another reporter asked Keanu Reeves.

"Of course." Keanu replied with a smile: "This is a process that the character must experience. I want to try to be more professional in the movie."

Keanu Reeves' answer won not laughter, but applause. After all, dedicated people are respected wherever they go.

On the side, Joseph had a dark look. He felt that the complaint he just made seemed too immature under Keanu's answer, so he secretly made up his mind that the next time he answers a reporter's question, he must be as mature and steady as Keanu Reeves.

"Don't you all realize that Keanu is much darker than before? He had to stay in the fields for at least six hours a day for this movie. I actually didn't strictly require him to do anything, and all of this was He did it on his own. In fact, the farm scene does not play a large role in the movie, but like me, he is a person who likes to pursue perfection." Nie Wei said another good word about Keanu.

Give praise to the male protagonist when he deserves it, which is also a psychological hint to the audience.

In fact, many times, two actors are about the same strength, but some actors with stories are stronger in the eyes of the public.

This is also a common routine for actors. They get injured during filming, insist on appearing, stay in the pool at sub-zero degrees for a long time, and end up with colds and fevers because of the scene...

Of course, the above are truly dedicated, but there are also some that are unreliable. For example, a member of a Korean group even scratched some skin on his finger and asked for fans’ comfort by posting on Instagram. This incident spread to China and was used by many Chinese netizens. Make fun of actors who are not dedicated to filming.

Sure enough, after hearing Nie Wei's addition, all the reporters immediately took note of it. Nie Wei's words were completely to provide them with news content.

Nie Wei looked at the reporters who were busy with their heads down, and knew that tomorrow's major media reports would contain stories focusing on keywords such as Keanu's dedication and dedication. Of course, how to fill in this story also depends on the reporter's writing style.

Nie Wei did not forget to praise Zhang Ziyi, saying that she wears a 20-kilogram spacesuit to practice every day. Every time she takes off her spacesuit, it feels like taking a hot bath, and she is sweating profusely and steaming.

Nie Wei's words were a bit exaggerated, and Zhang Ziyi blushed a little. However, seeing the reporters in the audience applauding and praising her, she decided not to be modest and acquiesced to the praise from Nie Wei.

Except for the farce at the beginning, this launch conference has been very successful so far.

Although the reporter still didn't ask Nie Wei much about the specific content of the movie, he did learn a lot about the daily training of the cast and crew and even little gossip that is unknown to outsiders. These first-hand information will undoubtedly be of great help to movie fans. It's very attractive to them.

After the press conference ended, all reporters did not leave, but were invited to the shooting site to witness the first shot.

For this first scene, Nie Wei chose a conversation in the script between the hero and his daughter in the research institute below. It was only a short paragraph. There were only two lines of dialogue between Zhang Ziyi and Keanu, and none of them exceeded ten. word.

This was originally specially arranged for reporters to collect materials. The scenes of the male and female protagonists filming were captured, and the reporters were completely satisfied. Especially in the end, the staff of Max Films sent each reporter who came to the press conference A small gift.

The female reporter received a Chanel scarf, while the male reporter received an Armani tie.

The gifts were not expensive, only about two hundred dollars, but the recipients were all very happy. The gifts given by Nie Wei were all very practical.

For example, silk scarves are a popular style this summer, and ties are a must-have for men attending formal occasions, so gifts are available.

There was one gift left in the end, which was the female reporter who was ‘invited’ out by the bodyguard before.

Nie Wei handed over the gift to his new assistant Vera, and at the same time told Vera to go to the videographer at the press conference to get a copy of today's video data, and then send it to the Los Angeles Times.

Nie Wei always likes to keep a hand in everything he does. Unexpectedly, he would really use it today. As long as the video materials are sent to the Los Angeles Times, the whole United States will soon be able to see the ugly appearance of the female reporter at the launch conference of her new film.

The female reporter may never have dreamed that before she finished writing the article to discredit Nie Wei, Nie Wei had already prepared a feast for her.

After two hours of writing and revising, she finally completed an article targeting Nie Wei. She felt that she was full of fighting spirit. After waiting for another three hours, she was finally approved by the editor-in-chief to be published on the Internet platform after two meetings.

"The Internet platform is the Internet platform. It happens that the Internet spreads faster." The female reporter comforted herself, and at the same time, she looked down on her editor-in-chief. Is there any need to be so afraid of Nie Wei? Such a big celebrity deserves to be hyped by them.

However, before she took the report to the Internet department of the newspaper, the editor-in-chief sent someone to call her back.

"Editor-in-chief, what do you want to talk to me about? I still remember to send the report article." The female reporter asked puzzledly.

"You can see it yourself." The editor-in-chief of the newspaper turned his laptop and pointed the screen at the female reporter.

The female reporter was a little short-sighted, and the editor-in-chief's office didn't have curtains, so the sunlight came in and made her unable to see clearly at first, so she couldn't help but move closer to the screen.

The anchor had been observing her subordinate coldly, and when she saw her face approaching her, she suddenly looked disgusted, not because of her appearance, but because this woman's eyes were too utilitarian, annoying.

"Video?" The female reporter didn't notice her boss's expression. At this moment, she finally saw the content on the screen clearly when she moved closer to the screen.

"Click it and see it yourself." The editor-in-chief ordered coldly.

Ten seconds later, a shrill scream came from the office, attracting the attention of the newspaper staff, and then the editor-in-chief's loud scolding sounded, and the angry rebuttal of the female reporter was also mixed in.

A few minutes later, the female reporter rushed out of the editor-in-chief's room with an angry face. As she went out, the familiar voice of the editor-in-chief came from behind her, shouting "Get out! ’
