Chapter 1378 1480. Going to school (I)
"Go ahead. You're always idle at home. You'll get sick."
"That's right. Brother, you should join. I want to join too. We can be companions. You don't have to be shy. I know all my classmates well."
"That's right. You can also take care of Duoduo. Otherwise, what if she gets bullied on the show?"
Nie Wei looked at Shu Chang and Zhou Duoduo who were trying to persuade him. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why do you keep urging me to join this variety show?"
"It's for your own good!" Zhou Duoduo and Shu Chang answered in unison.
After saying that, the two women couldn't help laughing at the stunned Nie Wei.
Nie Wei couldn't help laughing either. Although he knew clearly why the two women were urging him to join the show, some things were "interesting" if they were not told, but "boring" if they were told.
Between interesting and boring, Nie Wei naturally chose interesting.
"Okay, I'll take this show. But Zhou Duoduo, don't regret it." Nie Wei picked up the invitation he had thrown away and said with a smile.
Seeing Nie Wei agree, Shu Chang and Zhou Duoduo flashed a hint of joy in their eyes at the same time. It was obvious that they could not hide their little tricks after they had achieved them.
Nie Wei pretended not to see it and asked Zhou Duoduo to get the bowls and chopsticks to accompany him and Shu Chang to eat a little.
Facts have proved that everything cannot escape the law of "really fragrant". Zhou Duoduo said that she had eaten dinner, but in the end she accompanied him to eat a big bowl, and she looked unsatisfied.
It is said that man's plans are not as good as God's plans. In fact, sometimes man's plans are not as good as man's plans.
Just like Shu Chang tried every means to get Nie Wei to participate in the program, wasn't it just to prevent him from having the opportunity to contact Lin Yifei? Nie Wei also saw it. Although he felt that Shu Chang's methods were childish and cute, and he didn't even hide it, he still agreed because he thought it was no big deal. If he didn't want to contact, then he didn't.
But what Shu Chang and Nie Wei didn't expect was that Yu Feng was using Nie Wei's name to trick Lin Yifei into participating in the program at this moment.
"Ms. Lin, can you take a look at the guest list this time?" Yu Feng handed the specially prepared guest list to Lin Yifei. He was afraid that Lin Yifei would not care, so the first name on it was Nie Wei.
Lin Yifei took the list and saw the name 'Nie Wei'. As expected, she showed a surprised look. Seeing this, Yu Feng immediately said: "Ms. Lin, Beijing University of Electronic Science and Technology is your alma mater, and the 02 class is the most legendary class of Beijing University of Electronic Science and Technology. As a representative of the 02 class of Beijing University of Electronic Science and Technology, we also want to invite you to come as a guest and participate in this recording."
"Nie Wei is also participating?" Lin Yifei pointed to the list and asked uncertainly.
Yu Feng smiled and nodded, and replied: "Mr. Nie did participate. It was recommended by Miss Zhou Duoduo. Oh, this time Zhou Duoduo will appear in the program as a classmate. I think Miss Duoduo may also want to record this very memorable program with her brother."
When Yu Feng said this, he kept staring at Lin Yifei. When he found that Lin Yifei's face showed a moving look, he couldn't help but feel happy.
He felt that he should give a thumbs up to his cleverness.
He decided on Lin Yifei after Zhou Duoduo responded. There were various speculations about the relationship between Lin Yifei and Nie Wei in the entertainment circle before. Although they were all groundless, Yu Feng believed that some of them must be true.
Even if it was false, it must be true that Nie Wei and Lin Yifei had a good relationship.
Otherwise, why did Lin Yifei find Nie Wei first after returning to China after a few years? And why did Nie Wei help Lin Yifei without hesitation? All these proved that the two had a deep friendship.
So after Yu Feng confirmed that there was a chance to invite Nie Wei to participate in the program, he immediately thought of using Nie Wei's name to "cheat" Lin Yifei to participate in the program.
You know, although Lin Yifei has not had any works and exposure for many years, as the saying goes, "a lean camel is bigger than a horse", Lin Yifei had accumulated too much foundation at the beginning, so although the absence of these years has affected her, it will not make her unable to recover.
Just like this time when she returned to China, she was exposed and was on the hot search for three consecutive days.
And as soon as she returned to China, she was directly selected by Nie Wei to become one of the leading actors in the new movie. Although she is not only the heroine, the level of this comeback is also very high.
Moreover, the scandal between her and Nie Wei is also a very interesting topic. I believe that many people will want to see how the two interact in the reality show.
"Ms. Lin, I think many viewers want to see you and President Nie appear on the show together." Yu Feng thought so and advised.
Lin Yifei did not answer, staring out the window in a daze.
Yu Feng was a little anxious in his heart. He felt that Lin Yifei was obviously a little moved, but why did she not agree to it?
Just when Yu Feng was thinking about how to persuade her, Lin Yifei came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Sorry Director Yu, I was a little distracted. This program is quite interesting. I agree."
"Great!!!" Yu Feng jumped up from the sofa in surprise and took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Lin Yifei: "With your participation, this program will definitely get a good start in ratings."
"Please take care of me during the program."
"Sure, sure."
After the intention was reached, Lin Yifei returned to the bedroom on the pretext of being tired. Yu Feng did not leave, but explained some things to Lin Yifei's agent. After all, it was just an intention at the moment. If they wanted to really confirm it completely, they needed to sign a formal contract.
During this process, there are obviously still many things to discuss, such as labor fees, and some rights and interests of Lin Yifei in the program, etc., but the intention has been reached, and the rest is easy to talk about.
After Yu Feng left, Ji Lan knocked on the bedroom door.
"Director Yu revealed before leaving that he would give us performance fees for first-line actresses." Ji Lan reported with a smile.
"Well, I know." Lin Yifei nodded perfunctorily, obviously not caring about the performance fee.
Seeing Lin Yifei like this, Ji Lan just smiled helplessly. She roughly knew Lin Yifei's worth, and understood why the girl would be indifferent to the performance fee of one million. After all, you can't expect a billionaire worth more than one billion to be excited and happy because of one million yuan.
It's just that Lin Yifei doesn't care too much, which makes her agent feel very unfulfilled.
Ji Lan stood at the door and didn't leave, seeming to be hesitant. Lin Yifei took her eyes off the book and saw Ji Lan still standing at the door, so she asked, "Sister, is there anything else?"
"Xixi, don't forget what Auntie told you. Why did you come back to China this time?" Ji Lan thought about it and began to remind her.
Lin Yifei's eyes flashed with a trace of hesitation, but she still smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, I didn't forget. Also, sister, you can't tell my mother about it, understand?"
"How could I do that?" Ji Lan replied with a smile.
It was late at night, even if it was as prosperous as Kyoto, as time went on, there were few pedestrians on the street. Lin Yifei stood in front of the French window, staring at the empty street downstairs in a daze for a long time.
"Alas."
"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" was officially released on September 5. During the release period, the box office in the mainland totaled 4.2497 billion, just surpassing "The Avengers".
Currently, the film ranks third in the annual box office.
Above this is "Ne Zha", whose box office statistics have almost exceeded 4.4 billion, and there is only a gap of 200 million from the current top of the list "The Wandering Earth". If there is no accident, the performance of "Ne Zha" will definitely surpass "The Wandering Earth".
After looking at this list, many people in the industry are in Kyoto. The golden age of Chinese films is coming.
So far, there are four films with revenues of more than 4 billion in the mainland box office, and eight films with revenues of more than 1 billion. Among the top 30 films, none of them has a box office of less than 600 million.
The Chinese film market is already the world's second largest movie ticket warehouse.
The first place is of course Hollywood, which is really impossible to surpass for a while, but at least for Chinese filmmakers, the rapid development in recent years has made them feel that surpassing Hollywood is not out of reach.
In terms of the mainland box office, "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" is not as good as "Ne Zha" and "The Wandering Earth", but in terms of the global box office, the gap is huge.
The overseas box office of "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" has exceeded 550 million US dollars, and the total box office has exceeded 1.16 billion.
This result is enough to rank in the top 30 of the global box office list.
After this movie, Nie Wei has become the second highest-grossing director in the world, second only to the legendary Spielberg.
Of course, Hollywood is rumored that Cameron is preparing a big move, sometimes saying "Avatar 2", and sometimes wearing a grand war film, but no matter what, if this old man has a new work, Nie Wei's second place is really in jeopardy.
Of course, Nie Wei also has a new work, "The Captain of China", and he has high hopes.
Early September is the start of the school season, and Nie Wei also received his own school uniform on this day.
Along with the school uniform, there was also a group of program staff holding cameras, backpacks and microphones.
"The current school uniform is like this. Our previous school uniform was a black T-shirt with white printed letters on it." Nie Wei said, holding a white T-shirt. The white T-shirt had the words "Kyoto Film Academy" embroidered on it, and it was blue.
Nie Wei did not hesitate and changed into a new T-shirt on the spot. Yu Feng, who followed him, wanted the photographer to take pictures of Nie Wei changing clothes, but was kicked out of the fitting room by Nie Wei.
He is not a young idol who needs to rely on his body to gain traffic.
Nie Wei changed into a T-shirt with the Kyoto Film Academy logo, and deliberately shaved his beard to look younger. Then he changed into jeans and white sneakers. When he walked out of the room again, all the staff who came felt their eyes light up.
So refreshing, so handsome!
It feels like a cool spring breeze blowing across your face. The key is that Nie Wei is 35 years old, but he doesn't feel out of place in this outfit. He looks like a freshman in Beijing Electric. Everyone has a question in their mind at the same time. Will this guy not age?
Many staff members who are "aging prematurely" want to ask Nie Wei how he maintains himself.
"Nie Wei, this is your schoolbag. It is already filled with textbooks for the next week." A female staff member finally moved her eyes away from Nie Wei's face, lowered her head shyly, and handed over a schoolbag.
Nie Wei smiled and took it and put it on his back.
"I haven't carried a schoolbag for a long time. I feel a little uncomfortable. Let's go now?" Nie Wei said with a smile.
A group of people came downstairs. Nie Wei was about to open the garage to get the car. At this time, Yu Feng jumped out.
"Nie Wei, you are not allowed to drive to school."
"Who made the rule?"
"Uh... We made the rule, mainly because driving to school has a bad influence."
Nie Wei wanted to say that he drove to school when he was in school, but then he thought that Yu Feng's rule was right, after all, TV programs should be more positive.
"But there is no bus stop nearby." Nie Wei knew that the program crew would come today, so he deliberately stayed in the manor in the suburbs of Beijing, because he didn't want the courtyard to be overexposed and make the originally quiet alleys uneasy.
"You can take our car to school." Yu Feng replied.
Nie Wei agreed. There was no need to argue about such a small matter, but the program crew's car stopped when it was about 100 meters away from the school, because they also wanted to shoot a shot of Nie Wei "walking" to school.
Nie Wei cooperated and walked 100 meters, and finally arrived at the school gate.
Standing at the gate was an acquaintance, Nie Wei's former teacher Wang Jinsong. Seeing his former classmate, Nie Wei couldn't help but want to laugh. When did Beijing Electric Power be so extravagant that Wang Jinsong, who was at the level of vice principal, came to look after the gate?
"Hello, teacher." Nie Wei smiled and opened his arms, hugging Wang Jinsong.
The two had a very good relationship. When they were in school, Wang Jinsong took good care of Nie Wei, so after graduation, Nie Wei would visit Wang Jinsong every New Year and festival. Even if he didn't have time, he would ask someone to send gifts to him.
And no matter which country Nie Wei went to, he would never forget to buy gifts for Wang Jinsong.
Wang Jinsong has also helped Nie Wei to discover a lot of film and television talents over the years. The two are not just a simple teacher-student relationship, but actually allies of mutual assistance and mutual benefit.
"Good boy." Wang Jinsong patted Nie Wei's junior and walked towards the teaching building with Nie Wei in a very friendly manner.
Along the way, countless students of Beijing Electric University saw Nie Wei's appearance and all widened their eyes in surprise. If it weren't for Wang Jinsong standing by to calm him down, I'm afraid many people would have been unable to suppress their excitement and stepped forward to ask for autographs.
"Why did Nie Wei come to Beijing Film Academy? Is it for casting or to donate a building?"
"He's filming a show, right? I saw someone carrying a camera in the back. Did you see what show it was?"
"I'll go find Zhou Duoduo. She must know..."
