Chapter 1228 1328. Guest appearance

Nie Wei approached and saw Shu Chang playing with a ball of wool, with a long and short pile of knitting needles placed next to it.

"Why are you suddenly interested in this?" Nie Wei asked curiously.

"I recently signed up for a knitting class with Ziyi." Shu Chang explained, then looked at Nie Wei with a smile and asked, "How about I knit a sweater for you? Knit it now, and you can knit it in autumn. OK, you can wear it then."

"What color do you like? How about goose yellow? You have fair skin and this color looks great on you. But I can't. This color is very picky on your skin tone."

"Why go to all this trouble? Just buy whatever sweater you want to wear. If you want to wear a handmade sweater, just order it. Knitting this is too labor-intensive." Nie Wei shook her head and replied.

He didn't agree with Shu Chang's similar hobbies. For example, there was a time when Shu Chang was obsessed with cross stitch. There was a time when he didn't sleep all night and just embroidered non-stop. As a result, after a period of time, his eyesight couldn't see anything. They were all a little blurry, so they quickly asked Nie Wei to stop.

There was a period of time when I was very comfortable and particularly addicted to Lego toys. It was okay at first, just assembling some small cars, small houses, etc., but then the more I played, the more I started to play. Later, in order to build a super large future city, I started to stay up late again, not to mention There are dark circles under the eyes, and the whites of the eyes are red and bloodshot.

After finishing building that toy, Shu Chang fell ill for a while. The doctor came to check and the result was that he was tired.

Nie Wei even set aside a bedroom to put these Lego toys that Shu Chang had put together, but Shu Chang was not allowed to touch them again.

In Nie Wei's opinion, this woman is very easy to be serious once she starts playing, and she has a feeling that she will not give up until she achieves her goal. If she were really interested in knitting, she would probably have to stay up late again.

"I'm bored." Shu Chang coquettishly said, not caring about Nie Wei's persuasion, and continued to read the knitting encyclopedia in his hand, obviously looking like a good student who was serious about studying.

Nie Weiwei saw that this was not possible, so he tried to find a way to find something to do for Shu Chang so that she could divert her attention from knitting to something else.

So what exactly do you do? What can my wife do? Nie Wei thought for a while and suddenly had an idea.

"Shu Chang, since you are bored, do you want to come back to acting?" Nie Wei asked.

When Shu Chang heard this, surprise was written all over his face. He never expected that Nie Wei would suddenly suggest that she come back. After coming back to his senses, Shu Chang waved his hands in a panic: "No, no, I haven't acted for a long time. I can't act now."

"No, you are so unsure? Wife, you are the Golden Horse Best Actress."

"But I haven't acted in years. I really can't do it." Shu Chang's scared look didn't look like he was being modest at all. It was very real. This made Nie Yiyi stunned for a while.

Because in his impression, Shu Chang was still the actress who was full of enthusiasm for acting and full of confidence, but he didn't expect that she was so unconfident now.

For a moment, Nie Wei felt a little guilty, because he knew very well that the main reason why Shu Chang became like this was because of himself.

After getting married, Shu Chang began to cut back on filming, and soon she stopped taking any movies and quit the entertainment industry completely. Although Nie Wei never asked her to do this, she still chose to retire for Nie Wei's sake, and she was willing to do so. Be the woman behind him.

Thinking about it now, Nie Wei must have been under a lot of pressure during the process from a top actress who was originally brilliant to a reclusive housewife.

You can see this just by looking at the female celebrities in the industry. Many actresses who are nearly forty years old still want to continue to climb up. Some of them have to act in idol dramas despite the pressure to maintain their popularity, just to enjoy being a star. She has the glory of glory, but Shu Chang is a two-time Golden Horse Best Actress, but she left the entertainment industry at the peak of her career and the best time of her life.

Seeing Nie Wei standing there blankly, Shu Chang patted his arm in confusion and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Nie Wei came to her senses, and instead of answering Shu Chang, she suddenly hugged the little woman in front of her and said guiltily: "I'm sorry."

"Why are you crazy?" Faced with Nie Wei's affectionate apology, Shu Chang was not moved at all. He pushed Nie Wei away without saying anything. He also looked at Nie Wei suspiciously, wondering if her husband was holding back bad intentions again. Playing tricks on yourself?

Nie Wei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She was in such good mood, but she didn't expect that her wife wouldn't accept the offer at all.

"Why don't you play a guest role to enjoy the show?" Nie Wei suddenly suggested in a low voice.

"Guest appearance?" Shu Chang put down the wool in his hand and looked like he was seriously thinking about this topic for the first time.

Unlike the lead actor, the lead actor has to bear the heavy responsibility of ratings or box office, and also has to support the acting skills of a drama, otherwise he will be scolded by the audience.

Especially for someone like Shu Chang who has retired with all his glory, he needs to be even more cautious when choosing to come back. Just being qualified is not enough. He must be even better to meet the public's expectations. This is why Shu Chang is unwilling to come back.

Meeting each other is not as good as missing you.

When the God of Basketball Jordan came back for the second time, the audience had great expectations for him. They hoped that the 38-year-old uncle could still dominate the court as before. But as it turns out, the God of Basketball will also grow old, and Jordan's The second comeback turned out to be a joke. The only impression left to the public was the scene where the All-Star stuck out his tongue and laughed at himself after dunking a basketball. This made the audience clearly realize that he was old and no longer the omnipotent person. The flying man.

Shu Chang is the same. She doesn't think that she can improve her acting skills after not acting for so many years. That kind of camera sense needs to be maintained by continuous filming, just like e-sports players also need training. If they don't train, they will still be rusty. Even the most talented players will be doomed if they choose to let go.

But guest appearances are different. There is no need to bear so many responsibilities. There are not many shots. You can always get satisfactory results by filming a few more times, and naturally the pressure is not so great.

Of course, Shu Chang's attitude towards guest appearances is also very cautious. She didn't say she agreed, but just said she would think about it first.

Nie Wei knew that Shu Chang's attitude was loose, but he didn't persuade her anymore. He turned around and began to instruct the company staff to find out if there are any decent movie or TV roles.

He didn't force Shu Chang to act, but he always tried to give her some opportunities to choose. When the time comes, Shu Chang might be moved by the role.

The next morning, Nie Wei came to Beijing Electric and watched the graduation drama of the new graduates.

There were no outstanding students in this class. The only one who impressed Nie Wei was Wang Jinghua's son Dong Zijian.

Originally, in Nie Wei's memory, this child should have graduated from Huayi, but he didn't expect that he would choose Beijing Film Academy in this time and space.

After watching the play, Nie Wei also encouraged Dong Zijian a few words.

As for recruiting, Nie Wei didn't need to say anything. This kid had been destined to be a lifelong artist by his mother since he was born. After all, his family runs an agency, so why would he join another company?

Moreover, although Wang Zhonglei and Wang Jinghua reconciled on the surface, the two still didn't see each other and hated each other. Even if Dong Zijian wanted to join Huayi, Wang Jinghua would definitely not be at ease, fearing that Wang Zhonglei would trip up his son behind his back.

As for the remaining students, Nie Wei smiled and greeted them. He didn't even remember a few of their names. He really couldn't pick out a single outstanding one.

The next day, Nie Wei went to Huaxi Theater to watch the graduation drama of the same class. The professional quality of the students was not much different from that of the students of Beijing Film Academy, and Nie Wei did not find any person who could impress him.

The two trips to the drama academy disappointed Nie Wei a little. This class was obviously short of talents.

In fact, there was no talent burst in the previous two classes. Not to mention that there were several first-line big stars in one class like the golden class of 1996, even Nie Wei's class of 2002, which was known as the silver class, could not compare.

This is also the reason why both schools have been expanding their enrollment recently. If the quality is not enough, the quantity can make up for it. With more people, there will always be students who can make a name for themselves.

Three days after Huge signed the contract, Cai Yinong did not come to the scene.

After all, for Cai Yinong, what is there to see in a scene that makes him depressed?

Previously, Huayi would definitely not agree to Hu Ge's proposal not to hold a signing ceremony. You know, signing such a well-reputed and popular artist will definitely stimulate Huayi's market value to rise. No shareholder is willing to give up this opportunity just because of the artist's temper.

After all, it represents hundreds of millions or even billions of interests.

Hu Ge did not insist too much. After so many years in the circle, he also learned to try to compromise on certain things. It is impossible to do everything according to his temper. After all, this is a company, not a home.

As everyone expected, as soon as the news of Hu Ge joining Huayi was announced, Huayi's market value immediately rose by 1 billion.

More than 90% of fans support Hu Ge's joining Huayi.

In their words, Hu Ge should have changed his career long ago. Tang Dynasty Film and Television restricted Hu Ge's development. This kind of thing is almost obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. Now that he has come to Huayi, Hu Ge has a bigger platform, and the previous restrictions have been broken. Fans are looking forward to the appearance of their brother's first movie with a box office of over 100 million.

Seeing the fans' reactions, Cai Yinong completely let go of his worries. After a while, he stayed in Huayi Company, studying and waiting for news from Nie Wei.

Hu Ge was also looking forward to it. After the press conference on the day of signing, Hu Ge asked Nie Wei in person to arrange for him to act in a movie immediately.

But Nie Wei did not agree immediately.

The reason given made Hu Ge laugh and cry.

In the past, Hu Ge had no resources and no acting, but when he came to Huayi, he found that there were too many resources and he didn't know which one to choose for a while.

Nie Wei did not agree to Hu Ge immediately for this reason. After signing this actor, he naturally had to support him well. After all, Nie Wei promised Hu Ge a bright future, so he had to choose this first movie carefully.

However, Hu Ge's role has not been picked yet, but there is news about Shu Chang's role.

When Nie Wei released the news that he would find a good guest role for Shu Chang, it soon caused a sensation in Huayi. Shu Chang's comeback was one way, and even if he didn't come back, it was just to satisfy his acting addiction, which was a big deal.

Many directors who have plays on hand have started to use their connections to hope that a role in their play can be given to Shu Chang. Some directors even began to temporarily modify a role in the script just to meet the requirements put forward by Nie Wei.

Because everyone knows that whichever play Shu Chang chooses to guest star in, that play will have a guarantee of box office or ratings.

These directors even compete openly and secretly, and ridicule each other.

"Hey, Director Liu, your role is not so good, right? Can Shu Chang be interested in it?"

"Haha, that's because you have no vision. How can you join in the fun of making a TV series? Shu Chang is a two-time Golden Horse Best Actress. Wouldn't the price of your crappy TV series be reduced?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? Movie makers are so arrogant?"

"I'm just better than you..."

Nie Wei watched a video with a headache. This was the conflict between two directors in the company yesterday, and all this was to win Shu Chang into the group.

Nie Wei also didn't expect that what seemed to him to be a small matter would cause such a big reaction within the company. In addition to the two in front of him, there were six or seven directors who had works to shoot. They were fighting overtly and covertly, but it wasn't as obvious as these two.

Nie Wei also watched all those characters, and there were indeed two of them that he was satisfied with.

Just when Nie Wei was about to pick out these two characters and take them back to Shu Chang for a look, another director came to the door.

This director Nie Wei is no stranger. He is from Hong Kong and his name is Jiang Jiajun.

The reason why Nie Wei knows him is that in recent years, he is the only director who has remade Mr. Jin's works and gained a good reputation. The 2017 film "The Condor" received a high score of 7.7 on the Stars Film Review website, which is considered to be the highest score in recent years. The highest martial arts remake.

And the director seems to have tasted the benefits of the remake of The Condor, so he is ready to be the second bearded man and prepare to continue filming Yi Tian in the trilogy of The Condor.

Huayi owns the copyright and will let it go, so after he proposed the idea of ​​filming it, the company also supported it.

Anyway, as long as Mr. Jin’s works are not adapted too much, there will be no shortage of audiences no matter how you film them, and you will definitely not lose money.

"Are you here also to let Shu Chang make a guest appearance? But I remember that your crew has already started working?" Nie Wei asked with a smile.

"It has indeed started. I have been filming for a month, but I suddenly wanted to add a scene and there are two actors missing. I happened to hear that your wife wanted to have a guest role, so I was wondering if I could invite her." Jiang Jiajun explained quickly road.

"What role?" Nie Wei asked curiously.

"It's Guo Xiang. The plot I want to add is the scene at the beginning of Yi Tian where Guo Xiang goes up the mountain and encounters He Zudao, Jue Yuan and Zhang Junbao."
