Chapter 1361 1463. Goddess

Zhang Ziyi asked about the contract very carefully, and discussed it with Nie Wei for nearly an hour.

Nie Wei raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and found that the time had unknowingly reached half past ten.

"It's so late, let's talk about this today." Seeing that it was a bit late, Nie Wei was ready to get up and send Zhang Ziyi downstairs, but Zhang Ziyi sat there motionless.

"Anything else?" Seeing Zhang Ziyi like this, Nie Wei had a vague guess and asked in surprise.

"What's that expression on your face? I do have something to ask you, but you look impatient." Zhang Ziyi rolled her eyes at Nie Wei and said jokingly.

Nie Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pointed at the watch on his wrist. But before he could say anything, Zhang Ziyi said, "It's a nice watch, and it matches your clothes today."

"Is that what I'm talking about? Look at what time it is. You're an actress. You're with me so late. If the paparazzi take a picture of you, don't you know what they will write?"

"Come on, I have a husband, and you have a wife." Zhang Ziyi said indifferently, "Just take a picture."

Nie Wei sighed speechlessly when he heard this, and then said very seriously, "It's just that you have a husband and I have a wife, and it's a big deal if you're photographed."

Zhang Ziyi was stunned when she heard this, and laughed out loud the next second.

Nie Wei just watched Zhang Ziyi laughing alone for more than a minute, laughing so hard that she got a stitch in the side, holding her stomach and shouting in pain while still laughing.

"Enough, is it that funny?" Nie Wei didn't understand the big star's sense of humor at all. He was clearly stating a fact, so why was it funny? Seeing Zhang Ziyi still laughing, Nie Wei couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't you have something else to do? Do you want to talk?"

"Oh, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Ziyi's cheeks were a little red, and she rolled her eyes at Nie Wei at this moment, with a different kind of charm.

Nie Wei was caught off guard and was electrified by Zhang Ziyi's unintentional charm, feeling a kind of numbness all over his body.

"Okay, let's talk about serious things." Zhang Ziyi's smile suddenly changed, and she said seriously.

"You have always been frivolous, okay, forget it, tell me what you have to say quickly." Nie Wei was afraid of bickering with her, so he simply asked directly.

"New movie, heroine?" Zhang Ziyi blinked at Nie Wei and asked.

Nie Weiyi frowned subconsciously after hearing these six words and said, "Ziyi, the new movie will start shooting in two months. At that time, you will still be filming a TV series, and this is a drama with a male lead."

"What are you thinking? I plan to take a good rest after filming the TV series. I'm asking you this on behalf of an old classmate of mine." Zhang Ziyi knew that Nie Wei was thinking wrong after hearing what he said, and hurriedly explained, "Does Yuan Quan know?"

"Uh, is that sister still filming?" Nie Wei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the name, and subconsciously asked back.

"Hey, hey, hey, how can you talk like that? She hasn't filmed for a while and focused on drama, but she has been back for several years. When I was filming "The Last Romance" a few years ago, she also starred with me. In recent years, she has also had many unpopular TV series. Don't you know this?" Zhang Ziyi spoke up for her old classmate.

You know, this kind of thing that has obviously filmed many works but is not remembered by people is obviously the most hurtful to the actors.

Nie Wei scratched his head. He really couldn't remember what works Yuan Quan had done. However, after hearing Zhang Ziyi's mention, he vaguely recalled that he seemed to have heard that she had played a TV series that was said to have a good reputation.

In Nie Wei's impression, Yuan Quan was the kind of actor with high talent and artistic pursuits.

She made her debut in a fine art film such as "Spring Rhapsody". At the age of 22, she was already the best supporting actress at the Golden Rooster Awards. Then "Blue Love" won her the title of Best Actress at the Kyoto University Student Film Festival, and she was only 23 years old that year.

This movie also made her nominated for the Golden Rooster Awards again, and she was nominated for the Best Actress. Although she missed it in the end, her strength has been recognized by the industry.

Sure enough, two years later, she played a volunteer in the movie "Beautiful Big Feet" and won the Golden Rooster Best Supporting Actress again.

And I don't know if it's a coincidence or the screenwriter did it on purpose. Her character in this movie is called "Xia Yu".

After that, Nie Wei's impression of this actress in the entertainment industry was not very deep. He only remembered that she later played a TV series in which all the characters except the title died. Then this sister disappeared from the film and television industry and started to act in dramas instead.

If Zhang Ziyi hadn't suddenly mentioned it today, Nie Wei's list of actresses would not have had this sister's name at all.

"Speaking of which, Yuan Quan is the best girl in our class. When we were in acting class, the teacher liked to call her name the most because she could do the best every time."

"Sister Ziyi, it's rare to be so convinced of an actress."

"What's the matter? She is indeed more talented than me and works harder than me." Zhang Ziyi smiled freely and recommended again: "Nie Wei, use Yuan Quan, I promise you won't regret it."

Nie Wei thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement.

If Zhang Ziyi admires her, then Yuan Quan's acting skills must be fine. Nie Wei can basically confirm it by looking at some information later.

"Okay, I'll ask the company to send her an invitation letter." Nie Wei agreed.

"Nie Wei, you're so nice. I'll treat you to dinner later." Zhang Ziyi laughed and said, "Let's stop here tonight. If I go back late, my husband will think too much."

"Your husband looks like a big man, but his heart is as sharp as a needle, and he plays rock music." Nie Wei couldn't help complaining when he heard Zhang Ziyi mention her husband.

He thought Wang Fuzi was the type who played very happily at first, but after actually getting to know him, he turned out to be a 'little man' hidden under the skin of a rock master. Sometimes when Nie Wei saw Zhang Ziyi and Wang Fuzi getting along, he just felt that it was a mother taking care of her disobedient son, and Wang Fuzi was particularly good at acting like a spoiled child, which was very eye-catching, but Zhang Ziyi just fell for Wang Fuzi's tricks.

"How did my husband offend you? By the way, my husband will have a concert at the Bird's Nest in a week. I'll give you some VIP tickets. Do you want them?"

"Why not? Give me a few more and I'll give them to others." Nie Wei answered bluntly.

Zhang Ziyi smiled and waved, and left Nie Wei's office in a chic manner. Nie Wei did not follow her, but stayed in the office for more than an hour before driving home.

Zhang Ziyi knew about Nie Wei's new movie, so this matter was basically no secret in the circle.

Sure enough, in the following period of time, Nie Wei received a lot of calls from people asking for help. Fortunately, everyone was very sensible. Whether they recommended themselves or recommended others, they were all actors with solid acting skills.

During this period, Nie Wei also met actors who were more suitable for the role in his mind, and basically determined the actors in the airport control center.

Among them, Huang Zhizhong played the head teacher, Jin Dong played the leader of the Sichuan Regulatory Bureau, and the controller who called 3U8633 that was circulated on the Internet was played by a young actor named Li Xian.

In addition, powerful actors such as Wu Yue, Han Qingzi, and Jiao Junyan have signed contracts with the crew.

With similar reports coming one after another, netizens are looking forward to the starring lineup of this TV series. After all, the supporting roles are so powerful, and if the leading actors are a little worse, they will feel that they can't control the scene.

A few days later, the crew officially announced the first female lead, and Yuan Quan played the flight attendant Bi Nan in the incident.

When this news came out, many people were surprised.

After all, even people in the circle like Nie Wei almost forgot about "Yuan Quan". Many ordinary young people have long lost their impression of this actor who was very famous at the beginning of the century. Only the generation born in the 70s and 80s can remember this goddess when they were young.

So everyone was quite surprised that Nie Wei chose Yuan Quan as the first female lead of his new movie, but the magical thing is that no one questioned Yuan Quan's ability. Even if there were discordant voices, most of them were questioning Yuan Quan's fame.

But director Nie Wei's works have never cared about these things, not to mention that Yuan Quan is actually quite famous in the circle, but in the drama circle. After checking the information these days, Nie Wei was also very surprised, because this is an actress who has won the Grand Slam of the Drama Gold Award.

And this kind of award is sometimes more valuable than those awards such as the Golden Eagle, Golden Rooster, and Golden Horse.

After all, film awards, even as strong as the Oscars, are sometimes affected by public opinion, but drama awards are different, because drama itself is a comparison of strength. Whether your acting is good or bad, you can show your skills on stage, and everyone will see it at a glance. If you don't have the ability and still want to win the award, you will most likely be ridiculed.

So Yuan Quan can win this Grand Slam, so her strength must be beyond doubt.

And Nie Wei has also taken the time to watch Yuan Quan's TV series and movies in recent years. Her performance is really great, especially for the control of the characters. Nie Wei can't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.

With such a good actor, Nie Wei naturally had nothing to hesitate about. He took some time to invite Yuan Quan to the company. The two talked about the script for more than half an hour and decided to work together.

After that, the signing of the contract was a matter of course. Yuan Quan's salary was not high, even lower than the salary of some popular female stars in the current market. It can really be described as "affordable".

After confirming the flight attendant, the captain Nie Wei also quickly confirmed it.

Nie Wei "ruthlessly" interrupted Mr. Cheng's vacation and invited him to the crew to play the role of Captain Liu.

In fact, Nie Wei really didn't want to find Cheng Kun at the beginning. Nie Wei was not worried about his acting skills, but was worried that Cheng Kun was too handsome and would make the audience lose interest.

However, things took a turn for the better two days ago. Nie Wei accidentally browsed Weibo and suddenly found that Cheng Kun had shaved his head in a fashion magazine. Nie Wei saw his look and was moved.

Cheng Kun is handsome, but when he showed his tough guy temperament, Nie Wei suddenly felt that Cheng Kun was actually quite suitable for this role.

So Nie Wei called Cheng Kun right away and asked him if he wanted to play the role of Captain Liu.

Cheng Kun received the call unexpectedly. He was on vacation at home and had no filming plans in the short term, so he did not immediately agree to Nie Wei. However, Nie Wei was not in a hurry. He took the script and talked with Cheng Kun for half an hour, and then Cheng Kun was also moved.

A day later, Cheng Kun signed his name on the performance contract.

After the role of Captain Liu was confirmed, Nie Wei even called the real Captain Liu to tell him the news. When he heard that Cheng Kun was playing him, Captain Liu didn't feel anything, but his wife was very happy.

After Nie Wei hung up, he had only one thought in his heart, the charm of the factory flower was really great.

Then the co-pilot and the second captain were also confirmed. The co-pilot was played by Ou Hao. This young actor debuted in a talent show and can sing and dance, but he obviously has a dream of being an actor. He has developed very well as an actor in recent years.

Although Ou Hao's acting skills are not from a professional background, he is full of emotions and has strong explosive power. Of course, in Nie Wei's opinion, there are still many shortcomings, such as the problem that he can't control his acting skills. However, the flaws do not cover the merits. This actor is already excellent among young male actors. After a brief chat, Nie Wei decided that he would play this role.

As for the second captain, Nie Wei finally chose the actor Du Jiang.

This actor has been rising rapidly recently, and his acting skills are also good. He is a new representative of the tough guy school.

The rest are the members of the cabin crew. For this, Nie Wei's selection criteria are much more relaxed. In addition to a certain acting foundation, there are only two requirements: tall figure and beautiful appearance.

After all, they are all flight attendants, and the three aspects of figure, appearance and temperament are definitely necessary. Temperament is needless to say, there are few stars with bad temperament, and the rest is to be as picky as possible in appearance and figure.

Because there are too many people who meet these conditions, Nie Wei simply sent invitations to every actress who meets the conditions and has some fame, preparing for an audition.

Nie Wei also specially invited Yuan Quan and Cheng Kun to be interviewers together.

The audition time was set on June 5, but as soon as the audition notice was sent out, Nie Wei received a call from Huang Xiaoming, asking Nie Wei to meet at a cafe near Fanxing.

Nie Wei looked at his schedule and confirmed that he had time before accepting the invitation.

However, plans did not change quickly. On that day, Nie Wei was late for half an hour because of a meeting delay. When he arrived at the coffee shop, Huang Xiaoming had been waiting for a long time. What surprised Nie Wei was that there was another person here.

"Let me introduce you to AB, my wife." Huang Xiaoming introduced the woman next to him with a smile.

The moment he saw AB, Nie Wei knew what Huang Xiaoming was going to do.
