Chapter 1064 1164. Heavy Rain

All the reporters who attended the press conference that day were waiting to see how the female reporter would make up Nie Wei, but instead of waiting for the female reporter's report, they quickly waited for the report from the Los Angeles Times.

The owner of the Los Angeles Times is Nie Wei, which is something all reporters know. It is not surprising that they can get first-hand information from the press conference that day. What is surprising is that Nie Wei actually took the initiative to launch an "attack", which really surprised many people.

But it must be said that Nie Wei's means of manipulating public opinion were too beautiful. It was the female reporter who made trouble first, and now she has lost the initiative. You know, now all the netizens on the Internet are scolding the female reporter for making trouble for no reason, and she was even targeted by the Children's Protection Association because of the problem of making things difficult for Foy.

In this way, even if the female reporter quibbles again, everyone has already formed a preconceived opinion, and no one will believe her words.

Of course, what all the reporters didn't know was that the female reporter had been suspended by their newspaper. Even if she wanted to do something, she couldn't use the power of the media. She could only complain on her personal Facebook and defend herself. However, it was obviously unwise to do so. After all, netizens couldn't find a place to comment. If she stood up to explain, she would be "attacked" by angry netizens immediately.

And through this incident, the media reporters once again recalled Nie Wei's cruelty. After all, it wasn't long before the incident with Disney executive Jess. How miserable he was, many people thought it was terrible, really worse than death, and the newspaper and reporter from Maple Leaf Country at the time, now disappeared from the media circle.

For a time, many reporters privately called Nie Wei a "venomous snake", because Nie Wei usually looked harmless and quiet, but if you really pissed him off, you don't know when he would bite you, and one bite could take your life.

Nie Wei didn't know that these reporters would be so bored that they would give him a nickname that was so ugly. After making sure that things were going as he wanted, Nie Wei ignored it and devoted himself to the filming.

This time he did not play any role in the movie, but was completely devoted to the profession of director.

When this news was announced, many of Nie Wei's fans were very sorry, and even many people left messages under Nie Wei's Weibo hoping that Nie Wei could change his mind, even if he didn't play the leading role, at least he would play a cameo role.

Unfortunately, no matter how many people begged, Nie Wei did not change his mind.

It is very laborious to take care of acting and directing at the same time, and sometimes they even affect each other. When filming "Inception" before, there was a period of time when Nie Wei really felt that he was overwhelmed and tired every day, not physically, but mentally.

From then on, Nie Wei has made up his mind to try not to direct and act by himself anymore, separate the work of actors and directors, and concentrate on one thing at a time.

Now it seems that Nie Wei feels that his choice is right.

Before we knew it, the film had been filming for a week. The crew had returned to the United States from Maple Leaf Country a day ago and was currently filming on Nie Wei's farm.

Because there was no performance task, Nie Wei could devote himself to the role of director. Not only did he feel more focused during the on-site filming, but he also had more time to guide the actors' performances.

Denver is located in the temperate zone with four distinct seasons. The weather in May is the best time of the year.

The temperature hovered around 23 or 24 degrees, which was neither hot nor cold. In addition, there were farms all around, without any heavy industrial pollution, and there were plants all around, so the air was particularly fresh, especially after a spring rain, the air was filled with the fragrance of crops and soil, and breathing in such an environment would make people feel happy.

However, Nie Wei and the crew were not happy.

This rain not only made the air fresh, but also made the farmland muddy. There was a scene where the male protagonist drove a car in the farmland to chase a drone. Several times the car almost lost control, all because the mud was too slippery.

"Install anti-skid chains." After almost having an accident twice in a row, Nie Wei hurriedly stopped the filming and asked the crew to find anti-skid chains to install on the car.

But unfortunately, the crew did not have this kind of equipment.

"I'll take the staff to the town to see if there is any." Shu Chang, as the producer, stood up. She was the chief housekeeper of the crew and did not need to do such work.

However, Shu Chang felt that it was her own fault that she did not have anti-skid belts, so she took the initiative to ask for compensation.

Soon Shu Chang drove to a nearby town with two staff members.

"Today, we will temporarily change the shooting to indoors." Nie Wei changed the shooting schedule on the spot. He would not take the risk of forcing the drivers to fight against nature, and he did not want to waste too much corn in the farmland. Although he did not rely on the income from this crop to make a living, he could not bear to see the good land being wasted like this as a Chinese person who had been educated since childhood.

He could accept the waste of normal shooting, but Nie Wei felt that the waste caused by repeated shooting due to weather reasons was unnecessary.

Besides, it was the right choice to wait until Shu Chang bought the anti-skid chains before filming, and since it was not good to delay this period of time, Nie Wei simply chose to film other scenes.

After hearing Nie Wei's announcement to change to filming indoor scenes, everyone started walking towards an old villa not far away.

This is not the villa that the farm has built, but a temporary one built by the crew later. It is in line with the western style of the nearby town. It is a brick and wood structure with a rough style. After all, it was not easy for people to survive in that era, so how could they think of dressing up the cottage beautifully and exquisitely?

But for some reason, Keanu liked this "broken" villa very much when he saw it, and he wanted to sleep here at night.

Nie Wei asked him the reason, and Keanu's answer made him laugh and cry. In Keanu's view, this villa carries the romance of western men, making him seem to have returned to the era of cowboys, horses and revolvers.

Keanu even suggested hanging a few bounty tickets in the villa and turning the kitchen into a small bar. Of course, these suggestions were all ignored by Nie Wei.

As they got along during this period of time, Nie Wei was more and more able to confirm that Keanu Reeves was actually an over-age middle school student with a second-year syndrome.

As the crew arranged the shooting scene, the entire crew quickly continued to work.

Foy, wearing a denim suit, is the "protagonist" today. Most of the scenes in the room are centered around her. The little girl has a lot of scenes and is obviously under a lot of pressure. Even in her free time, she just holds the script and reviews the lines, instead of running to Nie Wei as usual and asking a hundred thousand questions.

Of course, Nie Wei is not annoyed by Foy's childish questions. Instead, he asks and answers her with interest. When the two of them are communicating, many actresses in the crew are almost melting when they look at Nie Wei, because that picture is so warm.

Although Eastern women and Western women grow up in different environments, their standards for choosing husbands are undoubtedly similar.

Nie Wei's patience and tenderness towards children are simply deadly poison to these actresses, making them intoxicated. Unfortunately, there is Shu Chang, an antidote, next to them. They can only enjoy their eyes at most, and they don't even dare to tease Nie Wei. After all, no one wants to joke about their future.

Another shot is finished. This is Foy's last scene today. After shooting this scene, the little girl is obviously relieved. Her cute appearance makes everyone who sees it on the scene can't help but smile.

Looking at this little girl, Nie Wei felt that he wanted a daughter even more in the future, and believed that the baby of himself and Shu Chang would be even cuter.

"Let's have dinner." Nie Wei looked at the time and it was time for dinner, so he asked the field staff to call the dining car over. However, Nie Wei did not go to eat dinner immediately, but walked aside and took out his mobile phone while looking at the sky covered with dark clouds outside.

Because Shu Chang has not come back yet.

You know, the distance from the farm to the pioneer town is about 40 minutes by car. Even if you drive slower, you will definitely arrive within an hour. Counting the time to buy anti-skid chains and the time to return to the city, three hours is enough.

But it has been almost five hours since Shu Chang went out.

Especially the weather outside seemed to be going to rain heavily, Nie Wei was a little worried, and called Shu Chang as soon as he finished work.

Fortunately, the call was connected quickly, and Shu Chang's voice came from the other side, which made Nie Wei's hanging heart calm down.

"I couldn't find a store selling snow chains in the town, and the only car repair shop that sold them was closed. I called the boss, and he told me that he went to visit his son in nearby Denver and would not be back for two days. But he told me that there was also a car repair shop in another town 50 kilometers away from the town, so I ran another 50 kilometers as he said."

"Don't worry, I have bought the snow chains and am on my way back now. It will take about an hour to reach the farm."

"Don't worry, I think it will rain soon, so drive slowly on the road."

"I understand, don't worry." Shu Chang replied with a smile, and then hung up the phone.

During work, Shu Chang was very strong woman. At least in front of colleagues, she rarely showed affection with Nie Wei, because in Shu Chang's opinion, she must distinguish between public and private affairs, which is professional. If she always sticks with Nie Wei on the crew, it will not only affect her work, but also Nie Wei's reputation.

Nie Wei had just put away his mobile phone when Keanu waved at him and motioned him to come over for dinner.

Before dinner was finished, thunders sounded outside. In less than ten minutes, heavy rain poured down. The raindrops hit the windows and made a dull "bang bang" sound, which made many people feel scared, as if the window glass would be broken by the heavy raindrops in the next second.

Nie Wei stood outside the window with a frown on his face, but in fact he could not see outside at all, because a layer of water curtain had covered the window, but the sky gradually darkened through the water curtain still made Nie Wei a little uneasy.

Unknowingly, an hour passed, and the rain outside did not get smaller at all. On the contrary, there was a trend of getting heavier. Nie Wei's mobile phone received a heavy rain warning from the local meteorological station. This heavy rain that exceeded the meteorological station's expectations might last all night.

At this moment, Shu Chang had not returned yet.

Nie Wei could not sit still, and walked aside to call Shu Chang again.

The first call was not connected. Nie Wei immediately pressed the redial button without hesitation, and at the same time made up his mind that if Shu Chang did not answer the phone again, he would go out to find someone.

Fortunately, Shu Chang answered the phone this time. After explanation, it turned out that due to heavy rain, the road became muddy and the car they were riding in was stuck in a mud pit and couldn't get out.

"The driver is already handling it. Don't worry. We are fine here." Shu Chang comforted Nie Wei. Listening to Nie Wei's concerned inquiries, she felt warm in her heart even though it was freezing cold outside.

"Well, call me if you need help." Nie Wei wanted to help, but Shu Chang didn't allow it. She felt sorry for Nie Wei. Even if Nie Wei drove out in such heavy rain, he would get wet.

The girl's refusal made Nie Wei very upset. Although he promised Shu Chang not to help, he hung up the phone and immediately ordered his secretary Vera to prepare the car.

"Boss, are you sure?" Vera looked at the heavy rain outside and thought she had heard it wrong.

"Please go and prepare the car." Nie Wei repeated it again, and then turned around to find Cheng Zimo without paying attention to Vera's surprised eyes.

In terms of strength alone, Cheng Zimo was the strongest among all the people on the scene. He was born with supernatural power, which Nie Wei could not compare with. So when Nie Wei thought of doing hard work, the first person he thought of was his cheap apprentice.

Nie Wei went to Cheng Zimo and put on a raincoat, which also attracted the attention of others.

"Nie, what are you doing?" Keanu asked.

"I'm going to pick up my wife. Her car is stuck on the road. You can take the bus back to the hotel after dinner. The staff should remember to protect the equipment and waterproof it. We'll see you tomorrow morning."

"Don't you need us to help?" Keanu said quickly, and several male actors and staff members beside him were also interested.

Although everyone was reluctant to go out in such weather, and they might even have to push the car in the rain, they also had different objects for help. At least if the object was Nie Wei, they were still very happy to contribute.

However, Nie Wei shook his head and rejected everyone's kindness.

"Don't bother. I'll let Zimo follow me. Don't stay here for too long after dinner. I'm afraid the house will leak if it rains too hard. Let's go back to the hotel and rest as soon as possible. We have to get up early tomorrow to continue filming."

"Okay, I wish you all the best." Keanu didn't insist, but followed Nie Wei's suggestion and prepared to take the crew's bus back to the hotel.

Cheng Zimo and Nie Wei changed into raincoats and drove the F150 slowly out of the farm, while Shu Chang and the others encountered a big trouble.

Looking at the green eyes outside the car window, Shu Chang pursed his lips nervously and kept dialing Nie Wei's number with trembling hands, but the only response to her was a burst of busy tones.

Next to Shu Chang, a girl covered in blood leaned against the car window.

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise for the generous reward.
