Chapter 1174 1274. Maybe I like it
Hearing Nina's admission, Joseph was instantly furious.
This hypocritical woman had just pretended to be pitiful in front of the boss, and said that she was as pure as a white lotus, but now, she finally admitted it.
He hated that he didn't use his mobile phone to record this scene, otherwise he would have shown it to the boss directly and he could have cleared himself of the "crime".
But before he could get angry, Nina, who had just admitted her guilt, got angry first.
"It's all because of you. If I hadn't said behind my back that I was hypocritical and not worthy of deep friendship, would I have said that to you!" Nina pointed at Joseph's nose and questioned: "Do you dare to say that you didn't say these words? I know who you said them to."
Joseph's expression was a little embarrassed, because he really said these words.
"But I'm telling the truth." Joseph, who was angry and embarrassed, argued loudly: "I saw with my own eyes that you smiled at a staff member, and turned around with a cold and disgusted expression. You usually live like wearing a fake mask. Aren't you tired?"
Nina was stunned, her face turned pale instantly, and she didn't answer for a long time.
"Why, I got it right, right? You have nothing to say, right, hypocritical woman." Joseph saw Nina didn't speak, and immediately showed a triumphant expression, thinking that he had hit Nina's vital point, uncovered her hypocritical mask, and made her feel ashamed.
But just as Joseph made a sarcastic remark, he saw Nina suddenly shed a line of tears silently, looking at him hatefully.
At first, Joseph was not convinced. Why did you cry when you couldn't argue? I'm not afraid. He glared at Nina, looking like you hated her for no reason.
But gradually, Joseph looked at Nina's eyes that were covered with tears but still clearly revealed hatred, and began to feel guilty.
His eyes began to drift, and finally turned to the side, but he was still unconvinced in his heart, thinking that he had only revealed the other party's true face.
"You are right, I am hypocritical." Just when Joseph turned his head, Nina suddenly spoke, and admitted that she was hypocritical as soon as she spoke.
Joseph should have been excited at this moment, after all, the woman he had always hated finally admitted that she was annoying, but for some reason, listening to Nina's cold tone, he felt scared instead.
"Joseph, you are lucky, but not everyone is as lucky as you." As she spoke, Nina stood up: "I have already apologized, and I will not give up this role."
After Nina finished speaking, she turned and left the box.
Joseph was confused by Nina's words. What lucky or unlucky, is he lucky?
Joseph walked out of the box with a confused look on his face. Before he even left the hotel, he received a call from Nie Wei, asking him to wait at the door, and Nie Wei was coming to pick him up in person.
Although Joseph didn't understand why Nie Wei went back, he still stood at the door of the hotel and waited obediently.
In less than five minutes, Cheng Zimo appeared in front of Joseph in a Presidential No. 1.
"Go to the Little Wildcat Bar." After seeing Joseph get in the car, Nie Wei told Cheng Zimo the location of the next stop.
Joseph knew about the Little Wildcat Bar, and he was also a frequent visitor there.
Although it was called a bar, the Little Wildcat was actually a high-end club with a membership system. Ordinary people could not enter it at all, and the membership cards were issued to those well-known Hollywood artists and elites.
Because it was backed by Max Films, and the environment was safe and comfortable, the Little Wildcat Bar's business was not bad, and many celebrities liked to come here to kill time every day.
The bright lights, dynamic music, and hot socialite actresses, but these things that usually attracted Joseph, did not arouse his interest at all now. He was called here by Nie Wei, and he knew very well that Nie Wei did not invite him to come here to play.
Nie Wei's appearance attracted the attention of many people in the bar, and many people came to say hello. Nie Wei waved casually. Even if he had said hello, he didn't want to chat with them in detail. He asked the bar staff to open a box and then took Joseph in.
"Bring two glasses of flaming red lips, and some fruit plates and snacks." After Nie Wei gave a few instructions, he sat on the sofa and motioned Joseph, who was sitting aside, to sit down as well.
After the cocktails and snacks were served, Nie Wei asked the staff to put up a do not disturb sign.
"You know, I was actually at the door of the hotel just now, and I saw Nina crying and walking out. Obviously, your conversation was not going well." Nie Wei turned the wine glass in his hand, looked at Joseph expressionlessly, and asked, "Tell me, what did you talk about after I left?"
Joseph looked embarrassed, but he didn't dare to hide it, and simply confessed the conversation between the two after Nie Wei left.
"She said you were lucky, right?" Nie Wei's face flashed with surprise, and he pondered for a moment, and then he was a little surprised.
"Well, it's inexplicable, I don't understand what she is talking about." Joseph still didn't understand the meaning of this, and just thought it was something Nina said out of anger.
Looking at Joseph who was confused, Nie Wei sighed: "You are indeed very lucky."
Joseph was even more confused. Why did Nie Wei suddenly say that?
Looking at Joseph who looked confused, Nie Wei didn't know what to say.
The misunderstanding between the two was actually caused by their different growth environments.
Although Joseph's family is not rich, it is also a solid middle-class family. They don't have to worry about food and clothing. His parents and grandfather are all in the entertainment industry. They can be called an entertainment family. In addition, he is Jewish, so his debut was very smooth. Even though he was not very popular before meeting Nie Wei, he could still be called smooth sailing.
But Nina is different. She was originally Bulgarian, and later immigrated to Canada with her family. Just from the nationality and ethnicity, her road to Hollywood is much more rugged than Joseph's.
Moreover, her family environment is average. Although she is not starving, she is just the most ordinary one. Moreover, she did not come into contact with the entertainment industry since she was a child. She only practiced gymnastics at first. Of course, her performance was not bad, and she even represented the national team in the competition.
But athletes are young. For athletes like basketball and football, it's okay. With today's sports science, as long as they are self-disciplined, they can play until they are 35 years old. But for unpopular sports like gymnastics, the replacement is very fast.
For example, in China, many gymnasts retire before the age of 20, and many of them have even won Olympic championships. Even though Bulgaria is a small country and the talent replacement is not that fast, Nina's ability to persist until the age of 25 is probably the limit as an athlete.
There is only one athlete in the world who is still active in the arena at the age of 43 like Chusovitina, and even has the ability to win medals.
It is not easy for gymnasts to change careers, and they may face unemployment after retirement.
This is different from popular sports such as football, basketball and even ping-pong. Gymnastics is an unpopular but highly professional sport. Many universities don't even have professional gymnastics teams, let alone gymnastics interest clubs. Many gymnasts simply go to the streets to perform after graduation.
Nina obviously didn't want to perform on the streets in the future. It happened that she was spotted by a Canadian director and had the honor of starring in an idol TV series. Since then, she has become interested in the entertainment industry.
But she doesn't have parents and relatives like Joseph to take care of her, and her family can't provide her with any help. She can only rely on herself to struggle in this circle.
If Joseph walked a smooth road to stardom, then Nina had fought hard to get to where she is today.
Joseph, who was smooth sailing, thought Nina was hypocritical, but in Nie Wei's view, this was just Nina's armor to protect herself. Her stumbling in the entertainment industry over the years made her know how to seek benefits and avoid harm.
The growth environment of the two people led to their completely different values, which made them dislike each other.
"This is the root of your conflict, Joseph, I have to say that you are wrong this time." Nie Wei told Joseph the reason he analyzed, and the latter's face turned pale after listening.
At this moment, he finally understood what Nina meant by "You are lucky, but not everyone is as lucky as you."
When he thought of Nina's sad eyes when she left at the end, and Nie Wei said that he saw Nina's pain, Joseph fell into deep self-blame.
"Joseph, I don't understand why you specifically target Nina. I believe you have seen people who know how to protect themselves better than Nina, but I have never seen you target anyone. Could it be..." Nie Wei looked at Joseph, as if he had suddenly realized something.
Joseph was confused and didn't understand what Nie Wei was thinking.
"You don't like Nina, do you?" Nie Wei said after taking a deep breath, and this question made Joseph blush immediately.
"How is it possible? I know I was wrong, but I really hate her. Yes, I just hate her way of doing things." Joseph seemed a little flustered and quickly denied it.
But looking at Joseph's appearance, Nie Wei's eyes were full of playfulness.
"No, no, no, Joseph, I think you haven't realized what you want in your heart."
"Do you know how children express their love for girls they like?"
"They are very ignorant about love, because they may not understand what love is, but this does not prevent them from falling in love. For the girls they like, they will use all kinds of pranks to attract the attention of girls, even if doing so will only push the girls further and further away. But every time the prank succeeds and the girl focuses on him, the boy will feel full of joy."
"Anyway, in my opinion, you deliberately targeted Nina, just like a child's love. You may not realize your feelings for a while, but your actions have exposed your feelings."
"Think about it carefully, do you have this feeling?"
Nie Wei patted Joseph's shoulder and left the box with a smile, while Joseph sat on the sofa with a blank face, falling into deep self-doubt. Do I really like Nina? So I deliberately picked on her to attract her attention?
Am I so childish?
Will my actions leave a very bad impression on Nina? What should I do?
Should I apologize? Ahhhhhh!
Joseph was so upset that he rubbed his head into a mess. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to ask Nie Wei, but Nie Wei had already left the bar.
Joseph could foresee that he was doomed to sleepless tonight.
On the other side, Nie Wei returned to the villa and told Shu Chang about this with a smile.
"Does Joseph really like Nina?"
"I don't know." Nie Wei shrugged and smiled.
"Didn't you just say...? Explain to me why?" Shu Chang asked.
"I didn't do anything. It was just a little hint. If Joseph really didn't have any feelings for Nina, my words probably wouldn't have any effect." Nie Wei said innocently.
He really didn't know what Joseph was thinking. It was just a sudden idea at that time.
Using this hint method, a seed was planted in Joseph's heart. Even if Joseph didn't like Nina in the end, as long as he had doubts in his heart, the tit-for-tat feeling would naturally disappear.
Of course, there is a chance that Joseph will like Nina. After all, they are the male and female protagonists. Although there is no clear emotional line like the male and female second in the movie, they fight side by side after all. The implicit ambiguity can sometimes touch people's hearts.
Joseph is also an experiential actor...
"Isn't it not good to do this?" Shu Chang asked with some concern. To put it bluntly, it feels like Nie Wei is playing with Joseph's feelings.
"I've said it before, it's just a little verbal hint, I didn't force him to like Nina."
"But if he likes her, I can't do anything about it."
The next morning, Nie Wei took Cheng Zimo to practice martial arts for two hours as usual, and then had breakfast with Shu Chang, and the two went to the set together.
When Nie Wei arrived at the set, Nina had already arrived early. Unlike the pale face and crying when Nie Wei saw her yesterday, the girl seemed to have forgotten the pain of yesterday overnight. She greeted Nie Wei with a bright smile and promised that she would get along well with Joseph.
But Nie Wei knew that the scar in her heart would definitely not heal so quickly.
As for Joseph, he came a little late today. He didn't come until Nie Wei had almost checked the entire crew.
And he looked different from before.
Before, Joseph came to the set, dressed neatly and combed his hair meticulously, but today, Joseph was dressed well, but his hair was obviously not taken care of seriously, and there were even some slight stubble on his face. What was even more surprising was that Joseph actually had two thick dark circles under his eyes.
Nie Wei's words really tortured him all night. When he thought that he might like Nina, he was at a loss.
And by chance, he ran into Nina as soon as he entered the set.
