Chapter 1161 1261. Effort
Nie Wei called Zhou Duoduo in, of course not to ask her to help, but mainly to ask about the status of other girls.
He called everyone to have dinner together, not to vent his anger on them like those girls thought, Nie Wei is not so far from being able to distinguish right from wrong.
He fired more than 50 staff members of the Supervision Department because they neglected their duties.
They were clearly eyeing the title of Internet monitoring, but they were eating dry rice at their jobs, allowing Internet rumors to spread without stopping them in time. Nie Wei even heard reports that this group of monitoring personnel were even complacent in private, thinking that their indulgence caused the current popularity of Weibo.
But in Nie Wei's view, this seemingly raging heat, but behind it also represents the loss of brand credibility.
Although Weibo is a third-party social networking platform, it should not become a gathering place for rumors. When it comes to management, it must not be soft for a little bit of heat.
As for the replacement of HELLOGIRLS's former agent, there is a reason.
She was in charge of the team, but she failed to come up with an effective strategy to restore the image of the team members in time. She just buried her head in the sand like an ostrich, relying on silence and confiscating mobile phones, which was a "stupid" way to let the girls avoid the news. In fact, she did not restore the image of the girls at all.
In Nie Wei's opinion, this kind of idiot could become the company's gold medal agent, there must be something wrong with the company, so that agent was just the beginning. Nie Wei had been filming the movie for half a year, and he had made up his mind to let his confidants collect materials, and he was ready to start to rectify the company's agent department after the movie was finished.
"It seems that they are all afraid of you." Zhou Duoduo whispered while peeling garlic.
After that, Zhou Duoduo seemed a little worried again, and asked tentatively: "Brother, you are not really going to stand up for me, right? There is no need. My teammates don't want fans to make so much noise, but they can't control it. Besides, my fans are actually making trouble."
"What do you think, your brother has no tolerance at all?" Nie Wei knocked on Zhou Duoduo's forehead and laughed.
Zhou Duoduo also smiled embarrassedly: "Haven't I heard too many rumors recently?"
"How is the new agent?" Nie Wei didn't talk much about this topic and quickly changed the subject.
"Very good." Zhou Duoduo replied, hesitated for a moment, and added: "Just too caring for me."
Nie Wei said: "Isn't it good to take better care of you?"
"It's good, it's just that my teammates joke with me." Zhou Duoduo didn't say it too directly, but the meaning was already on point. The inner guard understood it as soon as he heard it. It was obvious that this new agent was a bit "snobbish".
"What about professionalism?" Nie Wei asked again.
"Very professional, doing a good job in all aspects, whether it's our food, clothing, housing, transportation, or external communication, it's great." Zhou Duoduo commented.
Sweet and sour pork is a dish that pays great attention to timeliness. It is most delicious when eaten within half an hour after it is served. If it is served later, the taste will change. In addition, this dish is not suitable for takeout, because takeout must be sealed to maintain temperature. Once the dish is covered, the crispy outside will become soft, but if it is not kept warm, the crispy outside will become hard and you can't bite it.
When all the dishes were almost served, Nie Wei brought a large plate of ready-made sweet and sour pork to the table.
Looking at the golden sweet and sour pork exuding hot aroma, the golden and crispy surface was shining, and many girls swallowed their saliva subconsciously.
However, everyone was very polite, and no one picked up their chopsticks first. They waited until Nie Wei sat down and called for the start before everyone started to pick up their chopsticks to eat.
Nie Wei did not prepare wine for the girls, but only some Coke.
"Wow, your brother's pot-wrapped pork is so delicious." The first thing Yang Xiaoli picked up with chopsticks was the pot-wrapped pork made by Nie Wei. After putting it in her mouth, she, a girl who loves spicy food, was instantly conquered by this sweet dish.
The second chopsticks were still for the pot-wrapped pork, not the spicy pig's trotters that were close at hand.
You should know that before Nie Wei's pot-wrapped pork was served, Yang Xiaoli told Zhou Duoduo beside her more than once that she must keep an eye on the spicy pig's trotters when the meal started. As a result, after the meal started, she temporarily ignored the existence of the spicy pig's trotters because of Nie Wei's pot-wrapped pork.
The other girls, like Yang Xiaoli, ate Nie Wei's pot-wrapped pork at first.
First, it looked really delicious, and second, it was also spread online as a miracle. Everyone was curious and the opportunity was rare, so they naturally had to try it first. Finally, Nie Wei was the boss, so of course they had to give Nie Wei the biggest face.
Only after they had eaten it did they really understand that the praises from those celebrities who had eaten it online were not just flattering Nie Wei, his sweet and sour pork was really delicious.
"It's so delicious!" Yang Xiaoli had already eaten the third piece in a row, and after finishing it, she couldn't help but smile happily and gave Nie Wei a thumbs up.
"Thank you, if you like it, eat more." Nie Wei said in a casual manner.
Yang Xiaoli nodded wildly, then stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the fourth piece. Seeing this, others also hurried to take action. As a result, more than ten dishes on the table had not been touched, but Nie Wei's large plate of sweet and sour pork had been almost finished.
"You all should also try other dishes. Auntie makes delicious ones. For example, the sweet and sour pork ribs are salty and sweet, and the sugar-coated peanuts are delicious. If you like spicy food, you can also try it. For this spicy pig's trotters, my aunt's pig's trotters are braised in a pressure cooker for a long time. They are absolutely crispy and full of collagen, which is very good for your girls' skin."
Nie Weiyidian did not put on a condescending attitude. Instead, he enthusiastically took care of the girls and even personally recommended dishes to them.
According to Nie Wei's introduction, several girls tasted several dishes at once, and it was similar to what Nie Wei said. The taste was indeed very good, at least much better than the small restaurants they usually go to.
Nie Wei also asked who wanted rice, and Yang Xiaoli was the first to raise her hand. Several girls saw Yang Xiaoli raising her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then raised their hand.
"Auntie's rice is grown by my agricultural trading company in the Northeast. It's the most authentic Wuchang rice. You can try it." The agricultural trading company Nie Wei mentioned was the small company he invested in casually.
In just a few years, with the promotion of Nie Wei's capital and the excellent quality of its ingredients, it has become a high-end brand of rice flour and oil in the country. The company's value has exceeded one billion, and Nie Wei has also made a small profit. money.
However, what makes Nie Wei most satisfied with opening this company is the assurance of food supply. Now both the company and Nie Wei’s own family use this company’s rice flour and oil, especially those dozens of acres of virgin land. The wheat flour produced is basically delivered to Nie Wei every year.
Nie Wei eats part of it himself and gives the rest to his close friends in the circle.
Thanks to the blessing of these friends, Nie Wei's rice flour oil has been promoted a lot. For example, Teacher He likes Nie Wei's noodles very much. Now in "Longing for Life", the flour used in every noodles made is Nie Wei's. Family property.
This kind of invisible publicity also plays a very good role in promoting the company's brand.
"It tastes better than ordinary rice." After hearing Nie Wei's words, several girls who asked for rice immediately took a bite, but Yang Xiaoli was the first to express his appreciation.
"Well, it's really delicious."
"It feels more like rice than ordinary rice, a bit like the kind I ate when I was a kid."
The other girls also spoke one after another. Nie Wei smiled and asked them to eat more, and also helped Xiao Qi, who had short hands, take a bite of vegetables. The girl's face was as if fumigated, and a blush appeared on her face.
Nie Wei put down her chopsticks, looked at the girls who were eating, and suddenly spoke.
"I would like to praise Yang Xiaoli here."
"Eh?" Yang Xiaoli, who was chewing pig's trotters, raised his head in surprise when he heard Nie Wei wanted to praise him. Nie Wei looked at the gloss around his mouth and was almost startled. The compliment he was about to blurt out also changed. became laughter.
"Great, I said you are really great." Nie Wei quickly suppressed her smile, gave Yang Xiaoli a thumbs up, and then explained to the girls who were still confused.
"As for the interaction at the dinner table just now, Yang Xiaoli did a very good job. She doesn't recognize strangers, is very enthusiastic towards everyone, and is not shy when faced with some basic needs. With these qualities, I think she can at least Show off your talents in variety shows.”
"Just think about it, would the audience want to see an artist who is coy and unable to let go in front of his seniors to participate in the show, or an artist who is generous and can have fun and make trouble?"
"Of course, Yang Xiaoli still has to pay attention to her personal image. For example, remember to wipe your mouth after eating the pig's trotters." As Nie Wei spoke, she took out a tissue and handed it to Yang Xiaoli. The latter smiled silly and blushed a little. She herself felt What I ate just now was a little unsightly, but the pig's trotters were really delicious.
Unlike Yang Xiaoli who just thought about eating, the other girls thought about Nie Wei's words seriously after hearing what he said.
Although Nie Wei was praising Yang Xiaoli on the surface, he was actually telling them what they need to pay attention to when doing variety shows. It can be said that he summarized what most viewers like and dislike in a few sentences.
In fact, they had heard these truths before, but when Nie Wei said it, they suddenly heard it in their hearts.
Just when the ten girl idols were thinking, Nie Wei spoke again: "I think you all must be curious about why I suddenly praised Yang Xiaoli, right?"
"Didn't you see how good I am?" Yang Xiaoli immediately answered before the ten girls could answer.
"This is indeed one aspect." Nie Wei was very satisfied with Yang Xiaoli's reaction and gave her an appreciative look before continuing: "I just want to tell everyone that everyone has their own shining points."
"I believe that after you enter this circle, many people must have told you that you have to work hard and work hard. Only hard work can lead to success. As long as you persist, you can succeed. But in fact, although these words have some truth, they are That’s not necessarily true. To be an artist, it’s not enough to just work hard, but you need to be able to understand where your strengths are.”
"I'll take Yang Xiaoli as an example." Nie Wei pointed at Yang Xiaoli. The latter immediately raised his chest and raised his head, looking proud of me. His cute and funny look made everyone laugh.
Nie Wei couldn't help but feel happy. This girl's talent in variety shows is indeed the best among the team. This is probably not even compared to people like Zhou Duoduo who are already regular guests on reality shows.
After laughing, Nie Wei explained to the girls seriously: "In terms of singing and dancing, Yang Xiaoli is definitely the worst among the eleven of you. Many people on the Internet say that Yang Xiaoli loves to cry and doesn't work hard, but I believe you." Those who get along with her know best that Yang Xiaoli may cry a lot, but she definitely doesn’t work hard.”
"I specifically asked the program team to get the training time for the first dance of the 101 girls."
"You may not have imagined that the ten girls who had trained the longest were announced, and they were lucky enough to become the captains of the hard work team. However, the eleventh person who was not announced was Yang Xiaoli."
"It just so happened that at that time, in a clip on the Internet, Yang Xiaoli could not sleep in bed. This was also one of the evidences of those online fans who criticized her for not working hard. But in fact, she trained until five o'clock in the morning and did not rest until five o'clock in the morning. She was lying on the bed. It’s only been less than three hours.”
"But her efforts have not been very effective. Due to her talent, Yang Xiaoli will not have much success in singing and dancing in her life. If she really puts her efforts in singing and dancing, then she may not be able to achieve much in her life. They don’t get any positive recognition.”
"This truth tells us that to be a star, you must find the right direction."
"So the company's next arrangements for you will also be planned based on your own strengths."
"For example, Meiqi, you are good at singing and dancing. The company will create a personal album for you, and will also find opportunities for you to get OST opportunities in film and television dramas."
"For example, Yang Xiaoli is more suitable for variety shows. She will be arranged to be a regular guest in the company's new variety show."
"There are also people like Xiao Y. I heard that they are also very particular about how they dress. The company will help you get invitations to major shows. Then you can get in touch with more fashion brands and go to more brand shows."
Nie Wei's words made all the girls extremely excited. The company's thoughtful planning made them all feel at ease and full of expectations for the future. What moved them even more was that Nie Wei could accurately tell each of their questions. The advantage of people is that they obviously really understand them seriously.
"But your personal plans will have to wait a little longer. The most important thing at the moment is your big group concert and your first group album."
"Originally, I wanted you to prepare for a while before starting formal group work, but what I didn't expect was that rumors would spread on the Internet, which would affect your internal unity. In fact, in our opinion, the differences between you The embarrassment is really unnecessary, and it’s really stupid if your relationship is affected by strangers’ comments.”
Nie Wei finally told the reason for the dinner today. He did not treat these girls to vent their anger on Zhou Duoduo, but to maintain the relationship between Zhou Duoduo and these companions.
Moreover, maintaining the harmony of girls' groups is also safeguarding the interests of the company itself.
The image of a united and friendly group is naturally positive and positive, and it also greatly improves the value of the group itself. On the contrary, a group that is always in internal strife is bound to be riddled with negative energy and can easily lose the favor of passers-by.
It's a pity that a group of fans just don't understand such a simple truth.
It seems that they are risking their lives for their idols, but in fact they push them into a dead end. People who could have been friends have become strangers because of their fans. Even enemies.
Nie Wei really wants to ask this group of fans, are they satisfied with seeing their idol's interpersonal relationship and image in a bad state because of them?
