Chapter 1366 1468. Old acquaintance
"Director Nie, what's that expression on your face? Are you disgusted that I haven't acted for many years and my acting skills have become rusty? Or are you disgusted that I'm not famous now? If you really think so, I'm angry." Lin Yifei said she was angry, but she was smiling, obviously joking.
Before Nie Wei could explain anything, Lin Yifei took out her phone and continued, "Forget it, let me show you, do you really think I've been staying at home all these years, but I haven't."
Nie Wei's attention was diverted to Lin Yifei's phone, and she opened the album on her phone.
"See, the master's graduation photo of the directing department of the University of Southern California, the second one on the left is me."
"And this one, a photo of the Juilliard School advanced class, where I studied for two years."
"And this one, this is a photo of me playing the piano in the minor music class at the Juilliard School..."
Lin Yifei's slender fingers swiped across the screen, and photos appeared in front of Nie Wei's eyes, all of which were photos of Lin Yifei's life studying in various famous universities in various places over the years.
After flipping through dozens of photos, Lin Yifei put away her phone and said with a smile: "So although I haven't acted in the past few years, I have been recharging myself. How about we try out a scene now? I promise you will applaud me."
"What applaud? It's not like listening to a crosstalk." Nie Wei couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"I didn't expect you to have such a wonderful life these years, but do you know what kind of movie I'm shooting? You just said you want to audition, and I tell you, the sister Yuanquan just now has been confirmed as the heroine of the new movie, and the contract has been signed. The ones auditioning today are all supporting actresses."
"Captain Huaxia, the whole world knows about this. Do you think there is no internet where I live? As for the role, it doesn't matter. The supporting actress is the same. The role is not important, just for warming up." Lin Yifei replied, as if she didn't care about the ranking at all.
Having said that, Nie Wei really couldn't find a reason to refuse.
"Okay, there's just one role left. If you want to act, this role is for you." Nie Wei decided.
But Nie Wei agreed, but Lin Yifei didn't accept it immediately.
"What about the remaining actresses? You won't audition?"
"Of course I have to audition, what if there are better ones?" Nie Wei replied. He was not joking. Although the audition in the morning had allowed him to select the actress he liked, it did not mean that the audition would end here. If there were better actresses among the remaining actresses, he would change the list without hesitation.
After all, everything is possible before signing the contract.
Moreover, it is not reasonable to not give those girls hope and let them down directly.
"Okay, why do you ask so many questions? Auditioning is my job. If you want to act again when you return to China this time, then think more about the script. I will send the script to you later. By the way, where do you live now? Is it still the original villa?"
Nie Wei remembered that Lin Yifei also had a manor villa covering more than 15 acres in the suburbs of Beijing, but it was far away from Nie Wei's home, one in the south and one in the north.
Nie Wei had been to that house before, but since Lin Yifei went to the United States, the manor has been closed, and only cleaning and gardening companies regularly go in to tidy up and clean. After another two years, Nie Wei gradually stopped paying attention to it, so he doesn't know what the manor is like now.
Lin Yifei shook her head and smiled, "My mother sold that place five years ago, and now I live in a hotel."
Nie Wei was about to invite her to live in his manor when he heard this, but he thought it was not appropriate, especially when Shu Chang was not there, so he didn't say it when the words came to his lips.
"Let's go, what do you want to eat? How about roast duck?"
"I want to try the food in your company cafeteria." Lin Yifei said with a smile: "I remember that the food in Huayi Cafeteria used to be very delicious, better than all the food in the surrounding shops."
Nie Wei smiled and said: "You are right. Two of the chefs in Fanxing Cafeteria are the chefs of Huayi Cafeteria, and your favorite Sichuan chef is cooking in our cafeteria now."
"Really?!" Lin Yifei looked surprised, which made Nie Wei laugh.
"You will know if you try it."
When the two appeared in the cafeteria together, it was when there were many people in the cafeteria. The employees were not surprised to see Nie Wei. This boss often came to the cafeteria to eat, but when they saw Lin Yifei next to Nie Wei, many people almost popped their eyes out of their sockets.
"That woman looks so familiar, but why can't I remember who she is."
"Isn't it that Little Dragon Girl? What's her name?"
"Oh, I'm not seeing things. It's Lin Yifei, it's Lin Yifei!"
"Lin Yifei is back?"
Everyone who saw Lin Yifei's appearance had a lot of questions in their heads. It's because Lin Yifei has been away from the Chinese entertainment industry for too long. There has been no news about her in this industry for too long. And her achievements were so high at the time. She suddenly retired and suddenly appeared again after a few years. Naturally, everyone is very curious.
But because Nie Wei was right next to him, no one dared to run over and ask anything.
"Kung Pao Chicken, Chicken with Saliva, and a portion of boiled cabbage. Master Yang, Mr. Nie specially asked you to cook in person."
"Little Yifei is here, I must cook in person." Master Yang said with a smile: "I almost forgot when I cooked for this girl last time, but even though so many years have passed, this girl's taste has not changed."
On the other side, Lin Yifei looked at Nie Wei in surprise: "Brother, you actually remember this old thing I like to eat?"
"Why can't I remember the three dishes?" Nie Wei replied with a smile.
He was born with a good memory, and since he and Lin Yifei got along so well, he would not forget what the girl likes to eat. In fact, in addition to Sichuan cuisine, he would not say what Lin Yifei likes from the eight major cuisines of Shandong, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, etc. If you remember everything, you can remember at least 80% of it.
"Wow, Lao Yang's cooking is still so good. The saliva chicken is so tender, and the spicy level is just right."
"This Kung Pao Chicken is so good, it still tastes like the original one I had."
"This soup is great, and Lao Yang's boiled cabbage dish is absolutely unparalleled."
Lin Yifei took a bite and praised her. She was very lively. Nie Wei was infected by her lively atmosphere and ate half a bowl of rice.
"You have changed so much." Nie Wei couldn't help but sigh after the meal was almost finished.
In his impression, Lin Yifei had never been so active in such a public place. The name Ice Beauty was not false. At that time, she was always cold to the outside world. She would only show her enthusiasm to the people she cared about. one side.
But now Lin Yifei doesn't have a hint of ice beauty in her appearance. She is completely an outgoing and enthusiastic girl.
"People change. It's been so many years. It would be strange if I still want to be the same as before." Lin Yifei replied with a smile.
Nie Wei smiled noncommittally.
"Do you want me to take you back to the hotel?" Nie Wei asked Lin Yifei who was standing aside after putting the plates in the cleaning area.
"No need, I drove here myself." Lin Yifei said with a smile: "Remember to send me the script later."
After Lin Yifei finished speaking, she left gracefully without any sign of reluctance. Nie Wei looked at her back and smiled, and in her mind she began to calmly analyze the purpose of Lin Yifei's sudden return to China.
Maybe you really just want to make a comeback?
At least for now, Lin Yifei has indeed been focusing on the role, and her speech and behavior are very normal. However, this normal Lin Yifei always makes Nie Wei feel that there is something abnormal.
Nie Wei's head ached a little when he thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reason. He simply didn't think about it. After all, there was still an audition in the afternoon, so he planned to take a look at the information in advance.
Just when Nie Wei was looking at the actors' information, a taxi stopped at the entrance of Fanxing Group. The door opened and Shu Chang walked out, sweating profusely.
"I'm sorry, the air conditioner is broken. I'll give you a ten-dollar discount."
"No, no, no." Shu Chang didn't want to take advantage of this little advantage, and she didn't want to get into trouble with the driver. She was about to suffer from heat stroke, and she just wanted to get into the building quickly and let the air conditioner save her life.
The crew had a two-day break, so Shu Chang came back in a hurry, so he brought a small box with local specialty snacks and small items that Nie Wei could give as gifts to his colleagues in the new crew.
Thinking that she would see her husband soon, Shu Chang felt a little headache and nauseated due to motion sickness, but the smile on her face became brighter.
After entering the company gate, the refreshing cool air made Shu Chang feel really alive. The physical discomfort seemed to be much better, but the physical and mental exhaustion made Shu Chang still feel a little weak. He always wanted to find a place to take a good rest. Lie down.
Shu Changqiang braced himself and walked towards the front desk. These young girls had a good relationship with her and were her "eyes" in the company. After all, the position of the front desk really had a very high quality of "the right place and the right people". elements.
So Shu Chang often brings some small gifts to these girls, and this time they also have a share.
"Big news, have you heard? An incredible person came to our company today."
"Who is it?"
"You won't guess it."
"You're going to tell me or not!"
"Isn't that what I was about to say? Hehe, you may not believe it when I say it. You still remember the name Lin Yifei? This person is her!"
"Lin Yifei!?"
The exclamation names of several girls were like igniting several bombs in Shu Chang's mind, making her dizzy and confused.
This name she had almost forgotten, the woman who once made her so anxious, is back?
After Shu Chang came to her senses, the gossip of the little girls at the front desk reached her ears again.
"Is it true? Lin Yifei returned to China? And came to our company?"
"It must be true. Xiao Han also said just now that she received two women before, one of whom looked very much like Lin Yifei, and many people saw her eating in the cafeteria with Mr. Nie!"
"And I heard that because of her, the audition ended early. It's really embarrassing."
"No, I've heard for a long time that she has a good relationship with our President Nie. There were even scandals at the beginning. I also heard that Lin Yifei suddenly left the film industry to study in the United States because of her relationship problems with President Nie. , what do you mean by saying that she came back this time and came to see Nie Wei? It’s not because she wants to rekindle her old relationship. "
"Don't talk nonsense. We, Mr. Nie, have a good relationship with Sister Shu Chang. Lin Yifei, who has disappeared for so many years, is nothing to her."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Those men only miss what they can't get."
"But we, Mr. Nie, are just ordinary men!"
"Sister Shu Chang?" Just as everyone was waving their hands in a heated debate, Xiao Han, who had no intention of participating, finally spotted Shu Chang standing not far away and exclaimed.
Her words were like muting the phone. The front desk staff, who had been noisy just now, stopped talking for a moment. They looked in the direction Xiao Han was looking at with surprise and suspicion. They found that it was Shu Chang who was standing there. Everyone's face turned pale instantly.
After all, talking about the relationship between the boss and the boss's wife behind their backs was caught by the parties involved. Everyone felt that a disaster was coming.
"Sister Shu Chang, when did you come?" One person asked tentatively with a forced smile.
"Just arrived, I also brought you gifts, all of which are local toys. This time I went to Anhui Province to shoot, and the tea there is very good, so I brought you some tea. If you don't want to drink it, you can give it to your parents."
Maybe Shu Chang didn't show a trace of anger, and everyone's hanging hearts gradually let go. In addition, with the gifts in front, everyone's smiles on their faces became more sincere, and they kept thanking Shu Chang.
"Where is your General Manager Nie?"
"General Manager Nie should still be in the training room on the third floor." Someone reported immediately.
"Okay, I'll go up to find her, you guys take a rest." Shu Chang said with a smile, and then walked towards the elevator, but Xiao Han looked at Shu Chang, and suddenly felt a little bit reluctant to let her stay in the dark, so she called Shu Chang.
"Sister Shu Chang, today someone you know came, Lin Yifei, do you remember?" Xiao Han said with a stiff face, ignoring the eyes of several colleagues beside her who asked her to shut up.
Shu Chang's face showed a hint of surprise at the right time, and then smiled happily: "Really, Lin Yifei is here? Why didn't this girl call me, really!"
"I'll go ask Nie Wei, you didn't tell me such a big thing."
Seeing this, Xiao Han really thought Shu Chang had misunderstood Nie Wei, and hurriedly explained for Nie Wei: "Sister Shu Chang, that Lin Yifei didn't come until noon, and I guess Mr. Nie didn't have time to tell you yet."
"Okay, I'll go up and ask her later." Shu Chang waved to them again, and then walked towards the elevator.
Several girls at the front desk watched Shu Chang enter the elevator before looking away. Then they looked at each other.
"Hey, Xiao Han, who told you to talk too much? You scared me to death, you know!"
