Chapter 1173 1273. Like fire and water
Nie Wei felt that he had to talk to Joseph and Nina. If Shu Chang hadn't told him this today, he wouldn't have known that the relationship between the two had reached such an incompatible point.
If they just disliked each other, it would be fine, but if they had to find fault with their daily behavior and even affected the filming, then Nie Wei had to intervene and educate both parties to make them understand the seriousness of the matter.
A big production with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is not for them to get angry. The plot is not bad now. The relationship between the two characters in the story line has not yet established an intimate relationship, so it is not easy to see. But when there are intimate scenes, if they shoot in a state, they will definitely get into trouble.
After eating, Shu Chang personally notified Joseph and Nina and told them that Nie Wei wanted to talk to them.
In the process of passing the message, Shu Chang also seemed to accidentally reveal that Nie Wei was a little angry because he knew that they were spoofing and retaliating against each other.
When the two actors heard that the director was angry, they all panicked.
After Shu Chang left, Nina immediately asked the agent beside her in panic: "The director is angry, what should I do?"
"I think it's better to take the initiative to admit my mistakes." The agent sighed and said helplessly: "In fact, as long as you and Joseph stop making trouble, I don't think the boss will do anything to you?"
"But that bastard is so hateful. If he hadn't deliberately eaten that snail noodle food to smoke me, I wouldn't eat garlic to smoke him. He is not a man at all. I have never seen a man more petty than him." When mentioning Joseph, Nina was full of anger.
She didn't know how she offended the other party. Since she joined the crew, Joseph has been targeting her everywhere.
In the lounge on the other side of the wall, Joseph was also frowning at this moment, complaining about Nina to his agent.
"That woman is simply the embodiment of hypocrisy. If she hadn't spread rumors and slandered my reputation as soon as she joined the crew, how could I have paid attention to her?"
"She is artificial, hypocritical, and pretentious. I really don't see any good qualities in her."
"But as a man, why do you have to argue with a girl like her? Just give in a little." Some male chauvinistic agents smiled and advised.
"Why should men give in to women? Besides, I have said that she was the first to spread rumors and slander me, otherwise I would not want to pay attention to her. I feel uncomfortable breathing around her."
Looking at Joseph with a disgusted expression on his face, the agent didn't know what to say. He didn't understand why Joseph, who had a good temper, hated Nina, who seemed to have a good temper.
It seems that there is no way for the two people to solve the conflict by themselves. I just don't know if they dare to maintain a hostile attitude towards each other when the director talks to them in the evening.
Perhaps because of Nie Wei's warning, the two did not cause any trouble during the afternoon shooting, and they were more restrained.
But as soon as the play is over, the two of them must be at the two extremes of the crew. If you sit on the east side, he will definitely sit on the west side. The distance between them is very far. If you go to the director to watch the playback, the other will definitely not watch it. He will wait until the other has finished watching before going over.
If there is anything worth finding joy in the midst of suffering, it is that according to the plot, this scene happens to be when the male and female protagonists conflict at the beginning. The current state of the two is actually quite consistent with the psychological state of the characters in the play.
But this is not something worthy of praise. Now it is considered a lucky coincidence, but when the relationship between the characters changes later, it will be too late to adjust at that time.
When the work is over for the day, Nie Wei asked his secretary to inform the two actors that he would treat them to dinner in the evening.
It is called dinner, but in fact Nina and Joseph know that this is Nie Wei's excuse to lecture them. Dinner is just an excuse, and the lecture is the actual purpose.
Neither of them dared to neglect it. After removing their makeup and changing into casual clothes, they took a car to the hotel separately. What a coincidence, the two arrived at the hotel one after the other, less than a minute apart, and met in the elevator.
"Hans, let's not take this elevator. I can't stand the hypocrisy of some people." Joseph said sarcastically after seeing Nina appear.
"Luna, if someone doesn't want to take the elevator, we will do it. I won't be as intolerant as some people." Nina raised her head, looked at Joseph with disdain, and then walked into the elevator proudly like a winner. This look almost pissed Joseph off.
"Joseph, restrain yourself. She did it on purpose. Remember to control your temper in front of Nie Wei. The boss definitely doesn't want to see you continue to quarrel. If you are really angry, you will fall into this woman's trap." Hans hurriedly advised, fearing that Joseph would be irrational and chase after Nina to retaliate, which would definitely be a disaster.
After all, this dinner was held by Nie Wei to let the two of them turn hostility into friendship. If they quarreled again at such a dinner, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Nie Wei?
When an artist dares not to give face to the director, and the director is the boss of his company, then anything terrible can happen.
"I know, I won't fall into her trap so easily, she is such a villain." Joseph said gritting his teeth, but these words made Hans couldn't help but complain in his heart. He said he wouldn't fall into the trap easily, but when he saw Joseph's red eyes just now, he almost chased into the elevator and punched Nina in the eyes twice.
On the other side, Nina and her agent also got out of the elevator.
As Nina's manager, Luna also tried her best to persuade Nina.
"Nina, you can't be angry anymore. Your conflicts have already caused Nie Wei's dissatisfaction. Maybe Nie Wei can still tolerate it now and is willing to help you mediate. But if you continue to make trouble like this and exceed Nie Wei's bottom line, Things will really get into trouble then.”
"I know, but when I see Joseph's stinginess, I can't help but get angry. He is still not a man." Nina made no secret of her disdain for Joseph.
In her heart, Joseph was already equated with a man with a small belly, and she didn't even bother to pretend to smile in front of Joseph, because it was not necessary at all, and this kind of man should be severely despised.
"Even if you are unhappy with her, you can't show it, at least not in front of Nie Wei. I don't think you really think Nie Wei is a good old guy like John Cusack, right? You really pissed off Nie Wei. Do you think you can afford the consequences?" Luna saw Nina's unwillingness and immediately warned her sternly.
Nina kept her mouth shut. Although she was still unwilling, she did not dare to say anything more. Just like Luna said, the result of annoying Nie Wei was not something she could bear.
Nina arrived at the reserved box first and found that Nie Wei hadn't arrived yet. Thinking that that annoying guy would soon come in, she felt awkward.
In less than a minute, Joseph arrived. Seeing that there were only Nina and her manager in the box, Joseph also had an awkward expression on his face, which made Nina very angry when she saw it. I had no time to despise you, a bad guy, so why did you despise me first?
"Hmph." With a cold snort, Nina turned her head away, feeling that she should be out of sight and out of mind.
"Haha." Joseph didn't mean to say hello, he sneered and moved far away from Nina.
One of them was chatting with his manager, and the other was playing with his phone with his head down. It wasn't until Nie Wei came to the box with his bodyguard Cheng Zimo that they stood up together.
"The brokers go out first." Nie Weiwei entered the room and kicked the two brokers out.
Both Joseph and Nina were secretly observing Nie Wei's expression. At this moment, Nie Wei did not have the warm smile as usual in private. His face was a little serious, which made people feel a burst of pressure.
Nie Wei noticed the two men peeking at her, but ignored them and directly found a seat to sit down.
"I am undoubtedly involved in your relationship, whether you are a couple, friends, or even enemies, but I don't want you to bring your emotions into the filming, do you understand?"
Joseph and Nina nodded quickly to indicate that they understood.
"So now I need an explanation, why do you dislike each other so much?" Nie Wei asked directly. Bad relationships must find the source, otherwise this problem will never be solved.
"This is all because of him (her)." The two seemed to have a surprisingly tacit understanding at this moment, and they immediately said the same sentence.
After finishing speaking, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then immediately glared at each other after coming back to their senses.
"Joseph will speak first." Nie Wei couldn't help but have a headache when she saw the two men's fierce and fierce postures, so she took the initiative to name Joseph and let him speak first.
"This is the woman who started talking bad about me as soon as she entered the set. That day I saw her, Daddario and another actress, pointing at me and smiling evilly. She looked extremely Obscene," Joseph complained.
Nina immediately became angry when she heard this. Regardless of whether it was true or false, is there any use of the word 'obscene' to describe a beautiful woman?
"He put it!" Nina was so angry that she couldn't help but swore, but when she saw Nie Wei's sharp gaze, she came back to her senses and knew that she had lost her composure.
"Boss, he lied. I never said anything bad about him, nor did I point fingers at him behind his back. All of this was due to his own suspicion and pettiness," Nina retorted.
Both sides insisted on their own opinions, so Nie Wei continued to ask in depth.
"Joseph, did you hear Nina say bad things about you with your own ears?"
"Uh..." Joseph suddenly lost the aggressiveness of his previous accusation and seemed a little hesitant. Under Nie Wei's gaze, he answered after a while: "I didn't hear it with my own ears."
"Boss, I just said that he was just making random guesses. He was suspicious, but he blamed me." Nina said aggrievedly before Joseph could finish.
"Impossible, I saw it clearly. Although I didn't hear what you said clearly, I'm sure I saw you laughing at me. Just like yesterday after you ate garlic and made me vomit, I saw it again. The same smile appears on your face, you hypocritical woman." How could Joseph be so convinced? He immediately retorted loudly.
He trusted his intuition and judgment extremely. He did not hear clearly what Nina said, but he firmly believed that Nina was laughing at him.
Nina's expression was unnatural for a moment, but she quickly recovered. She ignored Joseph's yelling and just looked at Nie Wei innocently.
The acting was pretty good.
Nie Wei raised his eyebrows. The moment when Nina looked unnatural just now did not escape Nie Wei's eyes. This woman probably really said bad things about Joseph behind his back, but Joseph accidentally saw it.
However, Nie Wei invited the two of them to dinner today not to judge who was right.
"It doesn't matter to me who is right or wrong." Nie Wei stopped Joseph who wanted to continue explaining, and looked at Nina who was still pretending to be innocent, and said: "All I want is the result. I will give you one night. I don't care whether you fight or make up directly, but I just hope to see you come to the set to work in love tomorrow morning."
"If I hear any rumors in the crew about your discord in the future, I would rather replace you. I believe there will be countless actors willing to take your place, and I can afford the loss. It is better than the filming of the movie, but you can't find any feelings at all."
"That's all I have to say. You can talk about it yourself." After speaking, Nie Wei got up and left the room.
He didn't have time to judge the case for Joseph and Nina. As a director, Nie Wei also had his own work to do. As for whether the two can solve the problem of their relationship, it depends on them. After all, they are adults and they can make the choices they want.
As for what Nie Wei said just now, it was not false. If these two people continued to be so hostile, Nie Wei really wanted to change the role. While the filming had just started, Nie Wei could completely accept the loss of the crew. It was much better than letting these two people ruin the film.
Nie Wei would not joke with these two people with his money and reputation.
After Nie Wei left, the box fell into silence. Under Nie Wei's order, their agents had been driven away long ago. Now there were only the two of them and a table of untouched food in the whole room.
But when they thought of Nie Wei's last words and the cold eyes that looked back at them before leaving the box, the two of them had no appetite for food.
The two had tangled expressions and were struggling in their hearts.
They really hated each other. Joseph hated Nina's hypocrisy, and Nina hated Joseph's fussiness. In short, they just didn't like each other, but now with Nie Wei's strong pressure, they had to repair their relationship.
Finally, Nina gritted her teeth and admitted, "I'm sorry, I did say something bad about you that day."
When Joseph heard this, his eyes widened.
