Chapter 1374 1476. Unnecessary comfort

The morning sun shines into the room, and Nie Wei gets up on time to start his day's exercise.

For the past twenty years, Nie Wei has been practicing martial arts in the morning day after day, which has long become an indispensable part of his life. However, he has become alone in recent months because Cheng Zimo has moved out to live with his girlfriend.

Young people yearn for a better life, and Nie Wei will naturally not stop them. Besides, Cheng Zimo is not a young man at his age. Old Master Cheng is also anxious. After knowing that Cheng Zimo has a partner, he can't wait to hold his grandson immediately, so he will naturally not object. Even the house where Cheng Zimo lives now was bought by Old Master Cheng.

Two hours later, Nie Wei returned to the room sweating all over, washed up, and then worked in the kitchen for ten minutes, and a breakfast was ready.

Two slices of toasted whole wheat bread, a slice of bacon, a sunny-side-up egg, and a cup of hot milk, this is Nie Wei's breakfast, simple, healthy, and nutritious.

Of course, the most important thing is convenience.

He now lives alone in a courtyard. He usually eats in the company cafeteria or makes simple meals by himself. Occasionally, when he encounters something happy, he makes a hot pot.

"A good day starts with work." After breakfast, Nie Wei stretched his body and walked to the study.

Nie Wei's current work is not busy. He is actually in a semi-retired state in Fanxing Group. The company's main technology projects are currently managed by CEO Liu Jing. As for film and television, variety shows, and music, they are managed by Ma Dong and Luo Yuan.

Nie Wei is the chairman of the company, but he does not actually hold any position in the company. His job is more about understanding the company's recent status and focusing on supervision.

It is easy to forget time when you are busy at work, and Nie Wei is the same, until a phone ring interrupts his work.

It was a text message, and the sender was Cheng Kun.

Nie Wei thought that the other party was either asking about the script or inviting him to dinner. After all, many of Nie Wei's good friends have "helped" him during this temporary period of living alone, and Cheng Kun is naturally one of them.

But after clicking on the text message, the expression on Nie Wei's face quickly became very exciting.

His expression was as if he had seen something incredible. He held the phone and read it over and over again, and finally confirmed that he had not seen it wrong.

'Nie Wei, don't be sad. It doesn't matter if you lose once. You are still the best director in my mind, and the movies you shoot are also the best movies in my mind. In short, if you want to drink, call me, I'm always on call. '

Nie Wei read for a long time and finally understood what Cheng Kun meant.

The box office data of "The Crimes of Grindelwald", the second film in the Fantastic Beasts series shot by Nie Wei, was eventually surpassed by the box office of the animated film "Ne Zha".

But what does it mean to be sad? Nie Wei really didn't have any idea of ​​being sad.

The box office of "The Crimes of Grindelwald" in the mainland has exceeded 4 billion, and the total box office in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas has also exceeded 500 million US dollars. For such a result, you don't say congratulations but comfort me instead?

After understanding the content of this text message, Nie Wei didn't know what to say. You know, at present, the box office in the mainland, including Hollywood movies, has only exceeded 4 billion.

Nie Wei felt bad since he received Cheng Kun's text message, and quickly turned on the computer and logged into the social account.

As soon as the account was logged in, Nie Wei heard a buzzing sound, and the private message area instantly turned full red, marked with 999+ numbers. Of course, the actual private messages must be much more than this number. Nie Wei directly ignored them all and turned off the private message function.

He mainly wanted to see the comments on the Internet, but before he could find the comments, he was shocked by several hot searches on the hot search list.

'Nie Wei suffered a box office Waterloo. '

'Western magic is no match for Chinese mythology, and Nie Wei's box office dominance is no longer secure. ’

“Nie Wei, the box office champion for ten years, finally lost.”

These were still good. Nie Wei even saw another YXH post saying that his failure this time meant that he had run out of ideas, and that Nie Wei had been ‘abandoned by the times’ and was an ‘outdated’ director.

Nie Wei was really amused by these articles. He wanted to grab these people by the collar and ask them, have you ever seen an outdated director with a box office of 4 billion?

If it was just the media and YXH who were making trouble, it would be fine. The key point is that many fans, even Nie Wei’s own fans, went to Nie Wei’s social account to ‘comfort’ Nie Wei.

"Brother Nie Wei, it's okay to lose once, just win again next time, don't be sad, otherwise we will be even sadder."

"Brother Nie Wei must be very sad now, it seems like I am holding him in my arms and comforting him."

"Brother Nie Wei, it's nothing that he just lost once, who hasn't lost before, just try harder next time, anyway, don't be sad, our fans will always support you, never leave you!"

"Brother Nie Wei, don't be discouraged, you still have our support, come on!"

Faced with this group of fans, Nie Wei was speechless, why am I sad, why am I discouraged, why am I sad?

I want to invite my good friends to have a celebration party tonight!!!

How can I have the nerve to have a celebration party tonight if you leave such messages?

While Nie Wei was reading the comments and messages from netizens, the phone on the table kept ringing. Nie Wei took the time to check it out, all of which were sent by his friends, and like Cheng Kun, they were all words of comfort to him, but some were very direct and some were very tactful.

Nie Wei was stunned by the group of text messages and online comments, as if she really had the illusion that even though she was very happy, the whole world thought she was pitiful.

Until Zhou Duoduo called.

"I'm not sad, nor discouraged, nor sad, so please don't comfort me, okay?"

"Brother, I just want to say that I'm going home for vacation today." Zhou Duoduo, who was on the other end of the phone, was stunned for a long time by Nie Weiwei's call. After regaining consciousness, she said cautiously, because she felt that her brother was now like A firecracker, the kind that will explode as soon as a spark hits it.

Nie Wei sighed and replied impatiently: "What's the matter? It's only two days of vacation and you have to go home. Can't you study at school during this time?"

"It's a holiday, what should I study?"

"You can't study during the holidays. I studied all the time during the holidays when I was in school. Why can't you?"

"Brother, you are so shameless. Our teachers have told you that you have a record in Jingdian. The record for the lowest student attendance rate is yours. The second is my sister Qianxi, and the third is my sister-in-law."

When Nie Weiyi heard this, his face suddenly turned red and he hung up the phone, saying that he did not want to continue chatting with Zhou Duoduo.

As Zhou Duoduo said, Nie Wei was really the "Absentee King" in his class when he was in school. Who made him famous when he debuted? The company always arranged for him to work at that time. He was also very motivated at that time, and he met All of them were good scripts, and even his original boss agreed with him to film.

Not long after Nie Wei hung up the phone, Zhou Duoduo called again.

"Is there anything else?" Nie Wei answered the phone and asked casually, as if he hadn't done anything to hang up the phone just now.

"Brother, you feel guilty because I exposed the lie, right?" Zhou Duoduo asked proudly over the phone.

"If you have something to say, talk about it. If nothing happens, I'll hang up. I still have a lot of work to do." Nie Wei was talking about other things and didn't answer Zhou Duoduo's words at all.

Zhou Duoduo thought that if she continued to provoke Nie Wei, she would probably make Nie Wei angry, and she would not get any benefits, so she gave up.

"Brother, I want to have a big dinner tonight."

"I want to eat braised pork ribs, pot-roasted pork, green vegetables and mushrooms, crucian carp and tofu soup, as well as mahjong skinned noodles and saliva chicken!"

"Brother, did you remember it? You are talking."

"There are too many. I can't remember them. Just remember the vegetables and mushrooms."

"Ahhhh! Why are you remembering it when you least need to remember it? Brother, I know you have a good memory. Anyway, if you don't see the food I ordered when I go home at night, just wait!" Zhou Duoduo hummed. After a sound, he hung up the phone.

Nie Wei rubbed his hair irritably and muttered something about his troubled sister.

Although Nie Wei said he didn't remember, but just like Zhou Duoduo said, his memory was so good that Zhou Duoduo only read it once. Not only did he remember what Zhou Duoduo said, but he also remembered what Zhou Duoduo said. He could remember exactly which dish Duoduo swallowed when he recited it.

Nie Wei said she was impatient, but after hanging up the phone, she still called a chef she knew and made a reservation for dinner that night. The menu was naturally the same dishes Zhou Duoduo ordered.

After Zhou Duoduo made a joke, Nie Wei's mood became a lot clearer. There is no need to live like what others think you are like, just be yourself.

After understanding this, Nie Wei was in a very good mood. The movie's box office exceeded 4 billion, which was better than the previous film. The word-of-mouth rating was 7.7, which was a slight decrease, but it was also expected.

After all, "The Crimes of Grindelwald" has too many pitfalls, and it also dismantled the original popular CP of the previous work. Nie Wei originally expected that it would only be qualified if it could maintain a score of 7.5 or above during the release period. With the current score of 7.7, Nie Wei Wei Natural is quite satisfied.

There are also many people on the Internet who hope that Nie Wei will continue to be the director of this series, but Nie Wei really doesn't want to make any more movies in this series.

Because the script gave him so little room to develop, he felt constrained during filming.

It's like a martial arts competition. It's not about kung fu, it's about proficiency in routines. Just follow the rules step by step. It's wrong to add too much of your own stuff.

This is really uncomfortable for a director with his own style and ideas.

Nie Wei was very unhappy when filming the first part. When filming the second part, it was exactly what he had agreed with Luo Lin, and he had to shoot it. Now Nie Wei has laid a very good foundation for this series, so naturally Just give it up.

Moreover, as the production company of this series, Nie Wei also listened to Rowling's opinion and specially hired David Yates to be the next director instead of choosing a director from his own company.

In the following time, Nie Wei will still receive text messages to comfort him.

The most interesting one among them is Huang Xiaoming. This guy clearly called to comfort Nie Wei at first, but as we chatted, he began to express his bitterness to Nie Wei and tell Nie Wei how difficult it was for him in recent years. , how sad it is to see negative reviews online, etc.

In the end, it was Nie Wei who comforted him and talked with him heart-to-heart for nearly an hour.

Huang Xiaoming feels that he is so miserable. In Nie Wei's opinion, he deserves it. This person has gotten to this point all because of himself. When a person does not know how to refuse, he will definitely be used by people with ulterior motives. Huang Xiaoming is a typical example. .

But it’s hard to dislike such a person. After all, who wouldn’t want to have such a loyal friend when they encounter difficulties?

So in the final analysis, Nie Wei can describe his mood in one sentence, that is, he is angry without fighting.

Fortunately, this guy has finally come to his senses after living for more than 40 years. He has not taken on bad movies recently and is concentrating on studying the script at home and preparing for a beautiful turnaround.

At the end of the phone call, Huang Xiaoming vaguely told Nie Wei that he wanted to "set up his own business." Of course, he wasn't that specific, but that's pretty much what he meant.

Nie Wei supports this.

"You have connections in the circle and you also have a certain amount of funds. You can indeed do this. I suggest you sign a few more young actors and focus on cultivating young actors in the future. After all, you have reached your age and you have become like a child. It’s time for the veteran artist to think about his life after he can no longer be the protagonist.”

"Well, okay, I will seriously consider it." Huang Xiaoming's tone was a little heavy when he answered.

Not only women are sensitive to age, but men are too, especially those like Huang Xiaoming who started his career as a young actor and has been a leading actor for decades. When Nie Wei put the age issue in front of him, his first thought was to escape. .

Because he has been playing handsome guys, domineering CEOs, and various romantic figures, heroes, and emperors for decades. If you suddenly ask him to play the father of a twenty-year-old child, it will probably be difficult for him to accept it. Such a gap.

Nie Wei remembers an actress saying on a variety show that a movie invited her to play the mother of a child. She refused when she saw it, saying that she would never accept such a role, but the actual age of this actress was already over four years old. At ten years old, it makes sense to play the mother of a high school student or even a college student.

But she has played pretty girls for a long time, so she can't accept such a role, because psychologically she still feels very girly.

In Nie Wei's opinion, this is what he is used to.

Fortunately, these people live a comfortable life. If it comes to the point where they will have nothing to eat if they don’t film, you will see if they will accept it.

Nie Wei gave Huang Xiaoming a blow and felt much happier. He was going to add two more dishes to Zhou Duoduo in the evening. When Nie Wei was thinking about what dish to add, the phone rang again.

Nie Wei looked at the caller ID and picked up the phone.

"Nie Wei, I know you must be sad and even depressed now, but it doesn't matter. It's just a loss. It's not a big deal. How can a person never lose in his whole life, right? So don't be discouraged. You have to work hard next time. Just win it back, I believe in you!”

"Eh!? Nie Wei, how do you know what I'm going to say?" Lin Yifei shouted in surprise on the other side of the phone.
