Chapter 1204 1304. Nuan Nuan
Although the ingredients have been prepared, it still takes a while for the meal to be ready, especially the sauerkraut and pork ribs stewed in an iron pot. The ribs will not be simmered for a long time, not to mention that they need to be stewed until they are soft and fragrant. So I still have to wait about an hour for the meal to start.
Fortunately, sisters Li Binbin and Li Xuexue are not hungry, and their thoughts are on Nie Wei at the moment.
When we met just now, we just said hello briefly. It was Teacher He who should have taken the two sisters to introduce them in detail, but Li Binbin took the initiative to find Nie Wei, and the latter took on the tasks that Teacher He should bear.
Nie Wei first took the two sisters to introduce Han Dongjun who was chopping firewood.
"This is Han Dongjun, a new actor with great potential. Maybe you will have a chance to work together in the future. By the way, today's red sausage and sauerkraut are all brought by Dongjun from his hometown in Northeast China." Nie Wei He smiled and praised Han Dongjun.
"I know, we are netizens, Dongjun, are we showing off now?" Li Binbin smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Han Dongjun's hand, and said jokingly.
Looking at Nie Wei's puzzled expression, Han Dongjun explained with some restraint: "We artists from the Northeast have a special artist group. I, Sister Binbin, Brother Liang, Baobier, and many artists from the Northeast are in the group."
"I am the leader of the group." Li Binbin looked proud. Seeing Nie Wei giving her a thumbs up, she laughed happily, and her laughter was particularly bold and hearty.
Then Nie Wei brought the two sisters to the kitchen, but not to introduce Teacher Huang. Although the two had never worked together before, they were no strangers. Nie Wei was here to introduce Yang Xiaoli, who had been guarding the iron pot.
This girl has been uncharacteristic of herself since Li Binbin arrived, pretending to be a lady, and is now working for Teacher Huang honestly.
Nie Weiwei knew from the look on Yang Xiaoli's face that this girl had given birth. Of course, it had something to do with Li Binbin's aura, which made Yang Xiaoli transform from a little tiger into a kitten.
"Yang Xiaoli, it's not normal for you to look like this." Nie Weiwei couldn't help but joked when he saw Yang Xiaoli's appearance.
"No way." Yang Xiaoli retorted in a low voice, then secretly glanced at Li Binbin and found that Li Binbin was also sizing her up, so he responded with a silly smile.
"The new girl signed by Fanxing is a popular idol in addition to singing and dancing. She is very likely to develop into an actress in the future." Nie Wei introduced Yang Xiaoli humorously, and finally said to Yang Xiaoli: "This is you Sister Binbin, please change your contact information later. She is the eldest sister in the actor circle. With her protecting you, I guarantee that no one will dare to bully you. "
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoli laughed happily. She was absolutely willing to exchange contact information with a big star like Li Binbin.
Li Binbin patted Nie Wei angrily. How could she describe a person like this? It was like she was the eldest sister of the underworld, and she collected protection fees in the industry.
However, she could tell how much Nie Wei valued this little girl, and she naturally had thoughts of making friends with her.
Furthermore, she has reached the last golden age of actresses, and what she will take in the future is the route to fame. It will be very good for her to make more popular newcomers in the industry. For example, after those newcomers become famous, they participate in a certain talk show , mentioned something like thank you to Li Binbin for taking care of me.
Nie Wei introduced Li Xuexue to Yang Xiaoli and told her that she was a well-known gold medal agent in the industry.
Of course, Nie Wei's words are a bit boastful. The reason why Li Xuexue is famous is because Li Binbin is famous enough. The only artist signed by Li Xuexue is Li Binbin. Unlike a real gold medal manager, he must have a lot of artists under him.
When Nie Wei took sisters Li Binbin and Li Xuexue to visit the house, Huang Lei, who had been cooking nearby, looked at Yang Xiaoli with a smile and said, "Xiao Li, be more generous and take the initiative to ask for Li Binbin's contact information, you know?" ?A rare opportunity."
Yang Xiaoli nodded in understanding. She felt that Teacher Huang's words were for her own good.
There is a reason why Huang Lei said this. Although Li Binbin has seen a serious decline in popularity in China over the years, she is still one of the top actresses. In normal times, newcomers like Yang Xiaoli would never have the opportunity to come into contact with such a top star, let alone How about making friends.
But today, with Nie Wei pulling the strings, the opportunity came. Looking at the Buddha without looking at the monk's face, and with Nie Wei endorsing Yang Xiaoli, Li Binbin would naturally look at this girl differently.
As long as Yang Xiaoli is sensible and takes this opportunity to have a good relationship with Li Binbin, this will become a very important connection for her in the industry in the future.
Nie Wei took the sisters to visit the living room, then the bathroom, and the temporarily useless modern kitchen. When they finally wanted to visit the bedroom, Li Xuexue found an excuse to get out of the way. She was staying here specifically for Nie Wei and Li Binbin. A chance to talk alone.
When Nie Weiwei saw Li Xuexue leaving with an excuse, he knew that Li Binbin had something to ask of him. As for what it was, it was not difficult to guess based on Li Binbin's recent return to China.
But when he really got the chance to be alone with Nie Wei, Li Binbin didn't know how to speak.
She has been somewhat alienated from Nie Wei in the past two years, just because she was embarrassed. At first, she wanted to find a successful career in Hollywood, but in the end, she failed.
Li Binbin suffered a bruise and a swollen face, and also lost the promising development situation in China, because she has not taken any roles in China in recent years, and naturally has no works.
If she were not the only actress in the country whose works sold well in Hollywood, she would have lost her title of top actress long ago. However, this old reputation cannot last a lifetime. In addition, as she is getting older, her downward trend has become unstoppable.
So when she saw Nie Wei, who made her famous, Li Binbin felt ashamed that she had not lived up to her original bold words.
Nie Wei did not think too much. He looked at Li Binbin without saying anything and took the initiative to ask: "How have you been since you returned to China recently?"
Li Binbin has been back to China for three months. She has not accepted any commercial performances, endorsements, or dramas. This time, "Longing for Life" is the first notice she has accepted in three months since she returned to China.
"After a break, I feel that things have changed." Li Binbin smiled bitterly and used a very appropriate adjective.
This time when she returned to China, she really felt that the changes were too great. In just two or three years, everything seemed to have become very unfamiliar. The former competitor left the company, but the company has a new sister, and even the company's colleagues have changed more than once.
There are also many newcomers in the entertainment industry. There are more than ten popular new actresses in the company alone, which makes Li Binbin feel that she is already in the twilight of her life.
Li Binbin knows that this is not an illusion. She is already 45 years old this year.
In the circle, she is already a veritable "old" actress. This is why she urgently wants Nie Wei to give her a chance this time. She can't wait any longer. Even if Nie Wei is willing to help her, she has no ability to bear it.
Looking at Li Binbin with a face full of emotion, Nie Wei nodded and agreed: "There are indeed many newcomers recently. I feel old."
This made Li Binbin laugh. Looking at Nie Wei, who has shiny skin and no wrinkles or white hair, she smiled and said: "You are eleven years younger than me. If you feel that you are old, then how old I will be."
"It's okay for you to be older. Anyway, you don't follow the appearance route. I can't do it. I debuted as an idol." Nie Wei smiled.
This made Li Binbin feel embarrassed and angry, and she slapped Nie Wei twice. The alienation between the two of them also dissipated a lot with the fight.
"I'm pretty, okay." After hitting Nie Wei, Li Binbin did not forget to defend herself, but she was happy after saying it.
Li Binbin's appearance has always been controversial. She is actually not very pretty. When casting for "No Thief in the World", Feng Xiaogang almost eliminated Li Binbin because he disliked her appearance.
In comparison, Yang Xiaoli outside is the kind of person who really likes her. In the words of many people, Yang Xiaoli has a first love face. The female stars who have received this praise before are Zhang Baizhi and Lin Yifei, but Yang Xiaoli is different from the first two. She doesn't look like a goddess, but gives people the feeling of a girl next door, the kind that you can like at first sight.
"Then beautiful sister Binbin, are you interested in playing a beautiful role in "Magic 2"? "Nie Wei took the initiative to ask.
Surprised, surprised, and touched, at this moment, Li Binbin's heart surged with many complex emotions, and she was stunned.
She didn't expect Nie Wei to invite her.
All the uneasiness in Li Binbin's heart before coming, at this moment, all dissipated with Nie Wei's words, and in return, she was full of touching.
She was very strong and even wanted to cry at this moment.
After all, Nie Wei's hand in helping her was so heartwarming, just like a pedestrian in the desert encountering an oasis, a traveler in the cold winter getting a bonfire, and grabbing a piece of driftwood while drifting in the sea. This was really a hand that could save her life as an actor.
For a moment, she couldn't even say thank you more. Nie Wei's help and Nie Wei's understanding, how could it be perfunctory with a thank you?
A gentleman dies for his confidant. Li Binbin only had this sentence in her heart at this moment. Although it was a bit exaggerated, her gratitude was so deep.
Li Binbin's eyes were red, and after a long silence, he suddenly smiled and said, "Nie Wei, I finally understand why so many actors are willing to work with you."
"Really?" Nie Wei's face flashed with surprise, but he didn't continue to ask.
Li Binbin was busy being moved, and Nie Wei was also busy introducing the role to Li Binbin. This was actually the role he had thought of for Li Binbin when he was filming "Fantastic Beasts 1".
Nagini is the giant snake under Voldemort, who was killed by Neville with Gryffindor's big sword in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".
However, in "Fantastic Beasts 2", Nie Wei gave this snake more identity and background.
This snake itself is not a snake, but a magician who was cursed by the blood curse. After being cursed, she can switch freely between the two forms of snake and human, but the price is that the blood of the beast in her body will deepen, and she will eventually become a beast. This setting can be regarded as catering to the setting of "Harry Potter".
In the movie, Nagini is a super beauty before she completely turns into a snake, and she is also very sexy, which is in line with Li Binbin's temperament.
In China, Li Binbin is not a traditional beauty, but in foreign countries, Li Binbin's appearance is more pleasing than Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun, and she has a good figure. The key is that she has a strong aura, which is more than enough for this role.
Nie Wei talked to Li Binbin about the role, and of course did not forget to mention the role's weight in the movie: "Nagini can't be considered the heroine, but can only be said to be a relatively important female supporting role, but I think this role has potential to be tapped. If she performs well, her charm is no less than that of the protagonist."
"Sister, I'll show you the script later, and you should think about it carefully."
Nie Wei was giving Li Binbin a shot in advance. This role didn't have many opportunities to perform in the movie, and it could barely be considered the fourth female role. Even though Li Binbin's popularity has declined now, this role is a bit disrespectful to her given her status in China.
However, Nie Wei's words were in vain. Li Binbin didn't care about these. She knew that since Nie Wei took the initiative to invite her and deliberately mentioned that he was optimistic about this role, she didn't care how many opportunities she had to perform. She just needed to adjust her state and do her best.
Even if she didn't have many lines and didn't have many opportunities to show her face, she believed that Nie Wei could make her shine in the movie.
"Nie Wei, needless to say, I'll take this role." Li Binbin agreed without hesitation.
Nie Wei was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Li Binbin to accept the role without even reading the script, although Nie Wei thought that Li Binbin would accept it even if she had read the script.
However, since the other party had already agreed, Nie Wei would not waste any more words. The two of them had made a verbal agreement. As for the contract issue, they would go back to the company to discuss it. They were all family, so there would be no problem with this kind of thing.
Li Binbin got the role, and the dark clouds in her heart were all gone. Today was the brightest day of her mood in the three months since she returned to China.
Just as the two of them were about to go out of the house to help, Nie Wei suddenly called Li Binbin.
"Sister, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." Nie Wei suddenly asked.
Looking at Nie Wei's hesitant expression, Li Binbin smiled and said, "What can't be said?"
Nie Wei heard this and no longer hesitated. He directly persuaded: "Sister, after filming "Fantastic Beasts", how about letting the company create a TV series for you?"
Hearing this, Li Binbin was confused for a while, and then the whole person was stunned.
After she understood the underlying meaning of Nie Wei's words, she felt bitter. Nie Wei was advising her to quit while she was ahead, shift the focus of her career back to China, and stop thinking about going to Hollywood.
Thanks to Fantasy Paradise for the generous reward.
