Chapter 1067 1167. Kung Fu Director
Looking at the huge red envelope in front of him, Lao Hu's first thought was how much money was in it?
Fifty thousand, more than that, at least a hundred thousand, maybe more.
For a moment, Lao Hu wanted to reach out and take the red envelope, but in the end Lao Hu did not turn this idea into actual action.
At first, he didn't feel that he really helped Shu Chang. At most, he only took care of Shu Chang. How could it be that in Lao Hu's heart, Shu Chang saved his life.
If it hadn't been for the bottle of mineral water that Shu Chang had thrown away, he might have been lying in another area of the hospital where no strangers were allowed to enter, enjoying the treatment of a constant-temperature refrigerator.
So even though he was tempted, he felt that he couldn't take the money because his conscience couldn't accept it.
When Nie Wei handed the red envelope to Lao Hu, she was also observing his expression. It was obvious that his eyes flashed with excitement when he saw the red envelope in his hand. But for some reason, in just one or two seconds, this The excitement in Lao Hu's eyes disappeared, and instead turned into a firm rejection.
Sure enough, just as Nie Wei observed, Lao Hu said directly in the next second: "Director Nie, I can't take this money."
Shu Chang on the side saw Master Hu not accepting money and thought he was embarrassed in front of so many people, so he quickly advised: "You saved Xiao Liu and you also saved me. Without you at that time, both Xiao Liu and I would have lost money." I don’t know what to do. I keep your kindness in my heart, but I don’t know how to repay you. Money is a bit vulgar, but it’s also my heart, so just accept it.”
"Take it." Nie Wei smiled and put the red envelope into Lao Hu's hand, and also advised.
"I really can't accept this." Lao Hu did not take the red envelope he had received, but gave it back to Nie Wei, and then explained: "Director Nie, if I really saved Miss Shu Chang, I will definitely take the money. But I really didn’t help. Instead, Miss Shu Chang saved my life. I really can’t take the money.”
"Lao Hu, at least it's true that you saved Xiao Liu, and you can still think of others in times of crisis. You are such a good employee, so the company will naturally reward you. Not only the two hundred thousand, but also when we return to Kyoto, we will also I will help you apply for the honor of bravery, you are good." As he spoke, Nie Wei did not allow Lao Hu to refuse anymore and directly stuffed the red envelope into his hand.
The people next to him were really envious of Lao Hu at this moment. Although they knew that Nie Wei's move must not be a small amount, they did not expect that it was as much as 200,000.
Of course, envy is envy, but no one would be jealous of Lao Hu. Even the most petty person would understand that Lao Hu had to fight for these 200,000 yuan with his life.
At that critical moment, Lao Hu did indeed act responsibly, which convinced everyone present.
"Master Hu, there is something else I want to discuss with you." Nie Wei, who had just given away 200,000 yuan, said again.
Master Hu, who was immersed in the 200,000 bonus and was a little dizzy when he heard this, quickly gathered his mind and replied seriously: "Director Nie, please tell me."
"It's not that my wife just returned to work recently. Her previous team has been disbanded long ago, and now she doesn't have enough helpers around her. It just so happens that the team is still short of a driver. If you think you can, you can be Shu Chang's exclusive driver after you recover from your injury. , the treatment should be similar to that of Zi Yi’s driver,” Nie Wei said.
Hearing Nie Wei's words, Lao Hu was stunned.
Everyone at the scene looked at Lao Hu who was too excited to speak with envy at this moment.
Although they are both drivers and have the same occupation, their treatment is different.
Working as a driver for a third-tier star and working as a driver for a top star are not only several times different in salary, but the hidden benefits of being with a top star are beyond the imagination of ordinary drivers.
What's more, although Shu Chang is no longer filming, she is Nie Wei's wife and the chief producer of the crew. In the future, she will partner with Nie Wei out of necessity. Her status is simply more noble than that of a top star, and she can be Shu Chang's exclusive partner. Driver, that is what many people dream of.
Lao Hu was stunned for several seconds before he recovered from his excitement and quickly looked at Shu Chang.
"Master Hu, aren't you willing?" Shu Chang was worthy of being a two-time Golden Horse Best Actress. His pitiful expression immediately made Lao Hu blush.
Why is he unwilling? He is afraid that Shu Chang will not want to.
He is willing to be a driver for Shu Chang. You must know that before this, he was just a driver who pulled props in the crew. Being a driver for Shu Chang is almost like an amateur player suddenly being selected into the top league. The top team is soaring into the sky.
"Yes, of course I am willing. Director Nie, since you trust me so much, I will definitely serve as Miss Shu Chang's driver." Lao Hu agreed loudly.
"Then it's settled. I still have filming duties, so I won't stay here any longer. You should recover well. I have handed it over to the hospital to give you the best medicine. After you recover, you will come back to the crew to report." Nie Wei did not stay any longer. , he knew that being here with Shu Chang would make other people feel uncomfortable.
It's not that the two of them are annoying. In fact, both Nie Wei and Shu Chang are very popular, but the gap in status will make other people feel unconsciously depressed when they stand with their husband and wife.
After Shu Chang and Nie Wei left the ward, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot. Everyone congratulated Lao Hu, and Lao Hu gradually couldn't restrain his inner happiness and couldn't help grinning.
"Driving for the boss lady, Lao Hu, you are so prosperous."
"Remember to take care of your brothers more when the time comes."
"Old Hu, you must treat us to a meal when you are discharged from the hospital."
"Okay, okay." Holding the red envelope of 200,000 yuan in bonus, Old Hu smiled like a child.
The crew did not stop working because of the two injuries. In fact, in addition to giving everyone half a day to visit, the crew continued to work in the afternoon.
The experience of Shu Chang and others and Nie Wei's god-like performance only became the topic of conversation after dinner in the crew.
It was not until the reporter who came to interview learned about this incident from an actor that it was exposed, but it was more than half a month away from the incident.
Because there were no photos of the scene, Nie Wei and Shu Chang and others also refused the interview. The reporter only knew the general story from the oral narration of the actors in the crew, and the rest was entirely up to his imagination. The final report became a story of American personal heroism, and Nie Wei was naturally the protagonist, and Shu Chang became the heroine who was saved by the hero.
On the contrary, the brave Lao Hu became a passerby with only two sentences in the process of the reporter's description. In fact, in the eyes of the reporter, he was indeed a passerby. What else can a person who no one knows be a passerby? How can there be sales if he is written about?
Once the report came out, it caused a small sensation. Many girls in the United States expressed their admiration for Nie Wei's bravery. Many girls even left bold messages under Nie Wei's Facebook, and asked Nie Wei to experience the feeling of being hugged by Nie Wei's strong arms together.
Some people also questioned how a person could kill a wolf with one hand, thinking that this was Nie Wei's hype for his new movie, or that the reporter wrote it for sales.
Nie Wei didn't care about these doubts, but Keanu Reeves, who believed that Nie Wei was his master, couldn't stand it.
In his eyes, Nie Wei was like a god of war, invincible. Let alone killing a wolf, he would believe it even if he killed a bear.
After all, he saw Nie Wei breaking the sandbag with his own eyes, and it was with such a magical attack method. In his eyes, Nie Wei was at least omnipotent in fighting.
"Arrogance comes from ignorance. What I saw was a group of arrogant ants pointing fingers at the gods. You are just frogs at the bottom of the well. You only see the world as big as the wellhead. Maybe one day when you jump out of the deep well, you will find that the world is so big, but you are so small. There are many things that will exceed your cognition."
Keanu's Facebook post caused a lot of discussion. Although the whole article did not mention what the incident was, and did not add Nie Wei's self-explanation, most netizens believed that this was to condemn those who recently questioned Nie Wei's single-handed killing of the wolf.
Keanu's remarks immediately stirred up a hornet's nest. The keyboard warriors hated it most when someone refuted their views. In their world, they are the moral benchmark, and anyone who questions him is a person with corrupt thoughts.
For a while, Keanu's Facebook page became a battlefield for these keyboard warriors and his fans, while Nie Wei's Facebook page, which was previously the "main battlefield", was much quieter.
Keanu did not feel any trouble at all despite the transfer of trouble, but was full of fighting spirit.
He kept posting to prove Nie Wei's strength, until he found Nie Wei and wanted Nie Wei to demonstrate the technique of breaking the sandbag at that time, so that he could make a video and put it online to prove that what he said was true.
Normally, Nie Wei would not agree to such a request, but this time Keanu was indeed in trouble because of him and was harassed by those North American keyboard warriors. It was reasonable for Nie Wei to help him.
But what Nie Wei did not expect was that after he agreed to Keanu, Keanu accidentally let the cat out of the bag again. As a result, after the staff bought the sandbags at night, they finished filming and went home. After the hundreds of people in the crew returned to the hotel, most of them followed Nie Wei and Keanu to the hotel's gym, wanting to see with their own eyes the magical skill "shooting the bull across the mountain" that Keanu had taught them.
"It's not as mysterious as Keanu said. In fact, the so-called hitting the bull from behind the mountain is just a skill of using strength." Nie Wei didn't want to deify Chinese martial arts, so he gave everyone a shot of vaccination in advance.
But when Nie Wei broke the sandbag barrier again in front of everyone, it still caused a scream.
"Incredible, too incredible, is this really something that humans can do!?"
"I suddenly feel that those superheroes in Marvel may not be fantasy, because there is a living superhuman standing in front of me."
"Oh my God, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't dare to believe it, but the scene in front of me told me that this is all true, it's simply a miracle."
The Chinese people who came with Nie Wei were fine. Although they were also amazed, they were still understanding. After all, everyone had been influenced by Chinese Kung Fu culture. Although they were surprised at Nie Wei's strength, they could accept it normally in cognition.
But the foreigners in the crew seemed to be crazy, studying the sandbag that Nie Wei had broken. Some even dared to ask Nie Wei how he did it. However, the "power" is something that can only be understood but not expressed in words. It is not easy for Nie Wei to explain it clearly in words. He can only answer in general that it is a high-level martial art.
"Even if I watch it again, I can't stop being amazed. Nie Wei, I have already taken the video and will upload it immediately. Those keyboard warriors can wait to be slapped in the face."
"Keanu, you should focus on filming. Arguing with keyboard warriors will only waste your precious time. I hope this matter ends here." Nie Wei reminded Keanu. He didn't want his leading actor to indulge in arguments with keyboard warriors every day. Even if he was venting his anger for himself, in Nie Wei's opinion, Keanu's full commitment to filming was the most important thing for him.
"Okay, this is the last one." Although Keanu is almost 20 years older than Nie Wei, he listens to Nie Wei's words very much.
After Keanu agreed to Nie Wei, he couldn't wait to upload the video to his Facebook with his mobile phone.
In just half an hour, this video attracted 100,000 people to watch. The video without any editing from beginning to end clearly recorded the whole process of Nie Wei breaking the sandbag, and the technique of "shooting the bull across the mountain" made countless foreigners exclaim incredible.
Half an hour and 100,000 was just the beginning. An hour later, Keanu's video hit more than 500,000 hits and successfully made the headlines on Facebook.
Then it spread more quickly across the entire network.
At night, after Nie Wei finished a day of filming, he was about to return to the hotel when his secretary Vera came to report to him that she had received interview invitations from more than fifty media outlets in just a few hours.
Nie Wei was very surprised to hear this number.
You should know that there were only 67 journalists and media outlets that had made appointments for his new film press conference that day, but today, just because of a video, nearly 50 media outlets wanted to interview him, causing such a sensation. Nie Wei really didn't expect it.
Nie Wei still underestimated the impression of Kung Fu in the minds of Americans.
In the eyes of foreigners, the distant Eastern Empire is full of mystery, and the most familiar thing to them is Kung Fu. In their view, Kung Fu is a mysterious ability, just like the magic that is popular in the West, which can do many things that ordinary people can't do.
Flying over eaves and walls, breaking mountains and rocks, all kinds of magic even make Hollywood attribute Kung Fu to science fiction films, but there are still countless foreigners who think that those are truly achievable and can be done by humans.
This kind of "science fiction" that may happen in reality has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of many foreigners for Kung Fu. This is why countless foreign young people go to Shaolin and Wudang every year to learn Kung Fu, just to explore the mystery of Kung Fu, so that they can also reach the superhuman strength in the movie.
But the more people go there in recent years, the more people return disappointed.
So when Nie Wei performed a magical skill similar to "shooting the bull across the mountain", it immediately activated the enthusiasm of Americans for Kung Fu. For many people, this video of Nie Wei completely opened the door to a new world.
