Chapter 1177 1277. Strategy
Looking at Joseph standing in front of him with a sad face, Nie Wei felt a headache.
I didn't realize that this guy had such a low EQ when we met normally. Why did he become a wooden man when facing a girl?
"Nina rejected me." As soon as he opened his mouth, Joseph had an urge to cry.
Nie Wei didn't want to see Joseph, who was in his thirties, crying in front of him, so he immediately asked him what happened with Nina.
"I just went to apologize, and my attitude was very sincere. Nina seemed to have forgiven me, but she also rejected me. I didn't even open my mouth, and she rejected it. It can be seen that even if she forgave me, she still hated me in her heart because of my fault." Joseph said self-pityingly.
"Can you stop looking so depressed?" Nie Wei patted Joseph's shoulder and advised: "As a man, how can you be hit by a rejection? Besides, if I were Nina, I would never agree to you now."
"Why?" Joseph was even more shocked when he heard this. Did even Nie Wei think that Nina should reject him? Am I really that bad? Joseph fell into deep self-doubt.
Nie Wei sighed and felt that it was tiring to communicate with an emotional idiot.
But who let Joseph be the male lead of his new movie, so Nie Wei still patiently became Joseph's emotional mentor.
"Let me ask you, were you good to Nina before?"
"No, very bad." Joseph replied with a dim look in his eyes.
"If you were Nina, do you think she would have a good impression of you? Even if she knows that you do this because you like her, I think as long as you are a normal girl, most of them will think that such a man is a psychopath, right?"
"Don't say it, don't say it." Joseph held his head and responded painfully.
He felt that Nie Wei's words made sense. The more so, the sadder he was. After all, the psychopath Nie Wei was talking about was him, and he also made him understand that Nina's rejection was justified, which shattered the last glimmer of hope in Joseph's heart.
Looking at Joseph, who was as innocent as Xiaobai, Nie Wei ignored his evasion, but changed the subject.
"So you will definitely fail if you confess now."
"I have already failed."
"Yes, you have already failed, but what does your dejected look look like? How many men in the world succeeded in their first confession?" Nie Wei suddenly said.
Joseph looked up at Nie Wei in surprise.
"Why don't you take actual actions to pursue the girl? If you fail once, try twice. If you fail twice, try three times. You don't have the process of struggle, but you just want to gain. Do you think it's possible?"
"Of course the result may not be perfect. After all, who can predict the matter of love? But if you don't even try, and you just feel that you have failed here, I think it's ridiculous. What do you think?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you are so right." The dark clouds on Joseph's face dissipated, and he suddenly felt that he had hope again.
"Now that you understand, go after her. Nina is so beautiful, there must be many people who like her. You have to work hard. However, there is an old saying in China called 'the one who is close to the water gets the moon first', which means that people who are close to her will always have more opportunities. You and Nina will be filming a movie together for several months, and you are also artists of the same company. I am optimistic about you." Nie Wei smiled and patted Joseph's shoulder, encouraging him.
"Yes, I will definitely live up to your expectations, boss." Joseph grinned with a happy expression, as if he had already caught up with the girl.
But as he laughed, Joseph became distressed again.
Nie Wei turned around to check the schedule. He thought Joseph had left, but he suddenly heard Joseph's voice in his ear: "Boss, how should I chase Nina?"
Hearing this, Nie Wei almost spit out the purified water he had just drunk.
"Have you never been in love?" Nie Wei turned around and asked loudly. He didn't believe that this guy had never been in love. This was impossible.
Joseph replied shyly, "I've dated three times."
"Then why are you asking me how to chase a girl? Just do the same thing you did to the girl you chased before." Nie Wei replied with a tired feeling.
This is just like a master teaching kung fu. A smart apprentice is easy for the master to teach, but a stupid apprentice is a lot of work to teach. Joseph is the dumbest one in Nie Wei's eyes, so he is tired.
"But those girls chased me. I have never chased a girl before." Joseph explained quickly, but this answer almost made Nie Wei laugh.
"You can check it online yourself." Nie Wei left a sentence and coaxed Joseph away. Did this guy really treat him as a relationship consultant?
Joseph could see Nie Wei's impatience and left tactfully.
But after returning to his nanny car, Joseph was still in distress. How should he chase a girl? He remembered Nie Wei's last sentence and really opened his laptop to check it online.
This check opened up a new world for Joseph.
He really didn't expect that there would be so many people online who would come up with so many ways to chase girls, from the most basic shopping, watching movies, and watching fireworks to all kinds of weird methods, Joseph was dazzled.
"Joseph, what are you looking at?" When John returned to the nanny car, he saw Joseph staring at the laptop, concentrating on something, so he asked curiously.
Joseph didn't notice anyone getting into the car and was startled, but when he saw it was John, he finally found someone to talk to and ask for advice.
So Joseph told John about his idea of pursuing Nina.
John was very surprised: "You mean Nie Wei allows you to pursue Nina?"
"Why not?" Joseph was very surprised why his agent asked this question.
"Because generally, agencies don't like their artists to fall in love, especially you and Nina are still idols. Falling in love may cause you to lose some fans. Think about Bieber and Selena, you should understand." John explained.
He felt that the example was vivid and specific enough. When Bieber and Selena made their relationship public, many fans threatened to commit suicide. For this matter, Selena was blackened by Bieber's fans for many years, and they didn't even let go of the breakup. Even when Selena was sick, those fans still cursed Selena online, which was extremely vicious.
However, Joseph did not appreciate this. John was too flattering when he said he was an idol. Although he had played some roles in popular movies with Nie Wei in the past two years and had accumulated some popularity, he was still far from being comparable to the popular little king Bieber. He knew that he did not have those die-hard fans. Nina did have some, but Joseph was not afraid of being scolded.
As for the problem of losing fans, Nie Wei was not afraid, so he was even less afraid. Joseph wanted to become a powerful actor. He liked to speak with his works, not with his fans.
"Our boss has always been very tolerant of artists." Joseph patted Nie Wei's flattery, and then urged John: "Don't think about things that haven't happened yet, help me solve the problems in front of me first."
How to chase girls is Joseph's current major issue. As for what John said, he would consider it after this matter succeeded.
"Chasing girls? That's not easy. Give her famous bags, famous watches, and gems. Women are like those evil dragons in novels. They like sparkling things the most." John answered with his own experience.
"Really?" Joseph was a little skeptical.
"What's false about this? Just listen to me. When a woman is angry, no matter how many sweet words you say to her, it's useless. A brand-name bag can solve the problem. This is my experience accumulated in the past 20 years of marriage life. It's very accurate."
"What if it doesn't work?" Joseph thought that Nina might be more angry with him, and asked worriedly.
"Then buy two. Two bags won't work, but three will definitely be fine. No woman can withstand the bombardment of three brand-name bags, at least I haven't seen any." John promised solemnly.
"Okay, please help me find out what brand-name bags Nina likes." Joseph ordered.
Giving gifts should be thoughtful. The most taboo is to follow your own ideas and only care about moving yourself but ignore the ideas of the recipient. Joseph still understands this.
John took the order and immediately went to find Nina's assistant. Only by asking such people around can you get the answer you want.
But after John left, the more Joseph thought about it, the more he felt that John's words were not reliable, at least part of it was not reliable. Does chasing girls rely entirely on brand-name bags? Why does it feel like throwing money at Nina?
So Joseph took a notebook and ran to Cusack.
He decided to confide his troubles to this big brother, and by the way, he also asked Cusack about this issue.
After listening to Joseph's words, Cusack also widened his eyes in surprise.
"Joseph, do you have a fever? Didn't you say that to Nina before..." Cusack behind him was embarrassed to say it. As a gentleman, he felt that Joseph's previous behavior was very ungentlemanly.
"Sorry, I have realized my mistake, and I really don't have a fever." Joseph laughed and pushed Cusack's hand away.
The handsome old man looked at Joseph's confident look and felt that this should not be a prank on him. The gossipy hall suddenly changed the reason for Joseph's sudden change.
"It turned out to be the director, which is really interesting." Knowing that Nie Wei had awakened Joseph, Cusack couldn't help laughing. It was the first time he saw the boss of an agency encouraging artists to fall in love.
As for Joseph's question, Cusack also gave his own answer.
"I think the value of gifts is not important, but the intention is important. When I was pursuing my wife, I also gave her branded bags and watches, but my wife either lost them or left them unused. However, because we were filming together, we were far apart. I wrote her hundreds of love letters, and she kept them all the time."
When Cusack spoke, his face was filled with a happy smile, which made Joseph jealous. He found that he also wanted a love like Cusack's, which sounded wonderful.
"But no one writes letters now, even emails are outdated, just text messages, and Nina and I are in the same crew."
"It's not a matter of distance, but your intentions, understand?" Cusack taught Joseph: "Can emails be compared with letters you write by hand? One is cold characters in a computer, but the other has your temperature and your intentions."
"And the process of writing letters is also a process of communication between you. Put what you want to say but dare not say in person in the letter. After reading it, the girl will understand what you think. This is a process of communication and an opportunity for you to get closer to each other."
"You are right. I will go buy letter paper and envelopes in a while." Joseph nodded repeatedly. He felt that Cusack was right. Writing letters can bring people closer together. He felt that this was much better than simply expensive goods.
Of course, brand-name bags are also indispensable. It is safest to take a two-pronged approach.
Just when Joseph was about to launch a love offensive against Nina, HELLO GIRLS also launched a new activity far away on the other side of the ocean.
The first is the girls' first album. This time, Nie Wei learned from the lesson of Zhou Duoduo's group before, and knew that a purely Chinese-style album was not suitable for a girl idol group, so the content of this album is a mix of dance and lyrical songs. The Chinese-style songs will be kept until the members release singles.
There is only one dance song, which is also the title song of the album, "CHEER-UP".
This song was prepared by Nie Wei during the preparation of the program. It was originally supposed to be a song by a Korean group called TWICE, but Nie Wei registered it early. As for what song the group will rely on to become popular, or whether it can become popular, Nie Wei doesn't know.
The melody of this song is light and cheerful, and the lyrics are also about the little girl's yearning for love, which is very suitable for the bright and refreshing image of the eleven girls of HELLOGIRLS.
As for the lyrical songs, Nie Wei prepared "Give You the Universe" and "Dong Dong Dong", which are basically songs for little girls and are also songs that should be sung by the girls of the group at their age.
All three songs were carefully selected by Nie Wei. Not only are the melodies beautiful, but they are also very memorable, which is the so-called addiction.
An EP should have at least five or more tracks. This time, Nie Wei is responsible for more than half of the songs in HELLOGIRLS's first mini album, which has really attracted a lot of attention.
You should know that Nie Wei rarely writes songs anymore. In addition to the soundtrack of the movie, the last time he wrote a song was to help Zhou Duoduo's group write a Chinese style song. The quality is still very good.
Therefore, everyone is looking forward to the songs written and composed by Nie Wei in the new album of HELLOGIRLS. Because of Nie Wei, the girls' album has not been recorded yet, but it has already set off a wave of discussion on the Internet.
