Chapter 1494 1596. Corruption
"Where is Duoduo?" Nie Wei asked the staff beside him while holding the last drink in his hand. When he bought the drink just now, the staff of the program group also told him that Zhou Duoduo had arrived at the beauty salon.
The two staff members of the beauty salon were originally sneaking a peek at Nie Wei, but they didn't expect Nie Wei to suddenly ask them questions.
"Miss Duoduo has been a little depressed recently. Our staff are giving her a simple head massage." The staff pointed Duoduo's position to Nie Wei.
"Thank you." Nie Wei thanked him.
"So handsome!" When Nie Wei walked away, a staff member whispered excitedly.
"Well, much more handsome than those young idols, so charming." Another staff member also laughed and praised.
"I really envy Zhou Duoduo."
It was just a corridor, and there was no corner. Nie Wei easily found Zhou Duoduo. When he entered the room, he only saw a woman who looked to be in her thirties with rainbow-colored hair massaging Zhou Duoduo's cervical vertebrae and scalp.
Zhou Duoduo was playing with her mobile phone with her head down.
Nie Wei gestured to the rainbow-haired woman, indicating that he would take over from her. The woman instantly understood Nie Wei's idea, smiled and stepped aside, and Nie Wei took over the work.
Nie Wei thought that Zhou Duoduo would notice the moment he pressed his hand on it, after all, there is still a difference between a woman's hand and a man's hand. However, Nie Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Zhou Duoduo was too absorbed in playing with her mobile phone. Nie Wei pressed it several times, but she didn't notice that someone had changed.
If this continued, Nie Wei might not notice that Zhou Duoduo would finish pressing it.
In desperation, Nie Wei had to remind her: "Miss, do you think the strength is okay?"
"Hmm... Hmm!?" Zhou Duoduo nodded subconsciously, but soon realized that something was wrong. Why was it a man's voice?
Zhou Duoduo hurriedly turned her head and looked behind her. When she saw Nie Wei, she couldn't help but exclaimed, and then she slapped Nie Wei's arm twice in a rage, complaining: "Brother, you scared me!"
"Hey, I'll give you a drink as an apology." Nie Wei handed Zhou Duoduo the iced Americano that he had prepared long ago.
"Thank you, brother."
Nie Wei continued to massage Zhou Duoduo's shoulders and neck, and didn't forget to ask her: "How is my massage technique and strength? Is it not worse than that of professionals?"
"It's not just a little worse, okay? It's far worse." Zhou Duoduo immediately complained.
The staff standing by couldn't help but laugh secretly. If Nie Wei wasn't there, she would have laughed out loud. The way the brother and sister quarreled was really funny.
"Then I won't massage anymore." Nie Wei gave up and was ready to give up his position to the staff, but who knew that Zhou Duoduo would not let him go at this time.
"Brother, I was just talking nonsense. You can massage as well as professionals."
"Really?" Nie Wei returned to his position and asked suspiciously while working.
"Really, really." Zhou Duoduo nodded repeatedly, and Nie Wei continued to work with satisfaction.
But this conversation surprised the professionals on the side, especially because Nie Wei's technique did look quite professional. Looking at Zhou Duoduo's enjoyment, could it be that Nie Wei is really good at massage?
With such curiosity, after Nie Wei left, the professional pressed Zhou Duoduo's neck and asked tentatively: "Duoduo, I think your brother's technique is also very professional. Has he learned this?"
"No way, it can't be compared with you, sister."
"You don't know, he usually only presses my sister-in-law's shoulders at most, and has never pressed me. Today's opportunity is so rare, I naturally have to use him well." Zhou Duoduo blinked and said with a smile.
"Oh, so that's the case. Your brother is really good to your sister-in-law." The professional also smiled and replied after listening.
However, what she didn't know was that Zhou Duoduo still felt a little regretful at this time. Nie Wei's massage technique was similar to that of professionals, but different, especially the control of strength, which was completely different.
Like professionals, when she massaged Zhou Duoduo's shoulders, the strength was basically a standard.
But Nie Wei was able to increase or decrease the strength according to the tightness of Zhou Duoduo's muscles. Zhou Duoduo's expression of enjoyment just now was not fake, but really enjoyed it. When Nie Wei finished massaging, her neck even broke out in a layer of fine sweat, feeling particularly refreshed.
On the other side, the agent Xu Ling also handed HELLOGIRLS's schedule for today to Nie Wei.
"They have a total of three schedules today. In the morning, they will shoot for "VG" magazine. After finishing at three o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a record signing event for them in CBD at four o'clock. The official duration is one hour. In the evening, Yang Xiaoli, Meiqi and Xuanyi will also have a radio interview."
"Okay, leave it to me." Nie Wei put away the schedule and promised.
"VG" is one of the four major fashion magazines in China, and its main theme is "high style, not mass". To put it bluntly, its user positioning is high-end customers.
Of course, these fashion magazines now shout slogans loudly, but in fact, their sales are all based on "cutting leeks". The so-called high-end customers are mainly to maintain their so-called style.
The shooting of "VG" magazine this time is indoor shooting.
The girls are not on the cover of this issue. The cover of this issue is another popular artist Cheng Kun of Fanxing, who is also the first male star to appear on the cover of the first issue of "VG" magazine in the new year.
Although it is not the cover, "VG" magazine still attaches great importance to this shooting.
This can be seen from the level of the photographer.
You should know that the photographers in the magazine are also divided into levels, from photography assistants to professional photographers, to senior photographers, and then there are celebrity photographers.
Although each magazine has different names for these levels, they are generally divided into these four levels.
At the level of celebrity photographers, they usually only accept the task of photographing cover characters, but today "VG" made an exception and sent a celebrity photographer to shoot HELLOGIRLS.
Of course, the reason why Nie Wei is so clear is not because he got any news in advance, but because Nie Wei knows this celebrity photographer.
Michael Jensen, a handsome British man with a height of 1.85 meters, is also the chief photographer of the Chinese version of "VG Fashion". However, when Nie Wei first met him, he was just a photography assistant.
Nie Wei brought the girls to the scene and first visited the chief photographer.
"Hello, teacher." The girls introduced themselves together, "We are HELLOGIRLS, please give us your advice."
"Hi, girls, hello." Michael responded enthusiastically.
But after greeting the girl, he immediately turned his eyes to Nie Wei, who was wearing a mask and glasses, and asked with a smile: "Is this the new kid in your company? They are all very good. And what are you wearing? Do you have a cold?"
"No, I'm going to be a one-day assistant for these girls today, so I have to be low-key." Nie Wei smiled and clapped his hands with Michael, explaining.
Unexpectedly, Michael immediately retorted after hearing this: "Nie Wei, don't deceive yourself. No matter how you disguise yourself, you are the most dazzling in the crowd. I recognized you at a glance."
"That's because you have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering."
Yang Xiaoli watched the two of them chatting with each other in English for a long time, looking very familiar, and was also very curious. He asked Zhou Duoduo on the side: "Duoduo, what did your brother talk about with the photographer?"
"Nothing specific, just complimenting each other." Zhou Duoduo replied.
"Alas, the adult world is really full of hypocrisy." Yang Xiaoli sighed, but found that no one around responded to her. Turning around, she found that her friends were looking at her with a stunned expression.
"I was just talking nonsense!" Yang Xiaoli was shocked and explained quickly.
But her reaction made all the girls laugh and also attracted the attention of the photographer Michael?
"They are really full of energy."
"I think so too." Nie Wei smiled and nodded.
As the photographer today, Michael had a lot of things to do. If it weren't for Nie Wei leading the team this time, he wouldn't have talked for so long, so after chatting for a while, Michael went to work.
And Nie Wei also took the girls to the lounge.
Just now in the beauty salon, the girls only did hair and skin care, so now they need to put on makeup, and there are stylists on the side to choose clothes for the girls.
As an assistant, Nie Wei became one of the miscellaneous members at this time.
"Brother, my phone is out of battery, help me charge it."
"Brother, I'm thirsty, go get me a bottle of mineral water, remember to unscrew it for me."
"Brother..."
Zhou Duoduo was really rude when she ordered Nie Wei around. The other girls were eager to do something when they saw Nie Wei being ordered around by Zhou Duoduo.
The foolish and bold Yang Xiaoli was the first to speak.
"Brother Nie Wei, can you help me with a wet wipe?"
"No problem." Nie Wei smiled and took out a wet wipe from his backpack, and even tore a hole in the outer packaging, and then handed it to Yang Xiaoli.
With Yang Xiaoli taking the lead, the other girls followed suit, but they were all very sensible and only told Nie Wei to do a little thing.
But Nie Wei was soon called away by his agent.
After about five or six minutes, Nie Wei came back, but he went out empty-handed, and when he came back, he carried two big bags.
Yang Xiaoli came over curiously and saw what was in the two bags. She was surprised and exclaimed: "Lollipops! Rainbow ones too."
As she was talking, Yang Xiaoli had already reached out to take out a lollipop and was about to tear open the package. Nie Wei saw this and quickly stopped her: "Don't eat it. This is a prop you will use for filming later."
"Do you need so many lollipops for filming?" Yang Xiaoli pointed to the two large bags, thinking that there must be hundreds of lollipops in them.
"It's easy to break. Don't look at the number. It may not be enough for you to film later." Nie Wei explained.
The handles of this kind of lollipop are all wrapped in a thin layer of sugar. If you swing it a little harder, it is very likely to break.
Besides, there are eleven girls on the scene. If you divide it up, each person will not have much.
"If you really want to eat it, you can lick it secretly, but don't lick it in one place, because it will be easy for people to see it." Nie Wei saw Yang Xiaoli staring at the rainbow lollipop reluctantly and swallowing her saliva, so he suggested.
Yang Xiaoli's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Nie Wei meant it as a joke, but he didn't expect Yang Xiaoli to actually lick the rainbow lollipop. The girls watching were also shocked. Zhou Duoduo quickly came over and hugged Yang Xiaoli's neck, while loudly questioning: "Little carp, wake up, we are idols, do you still want to maintain your image?"
"I just ate a lollipop, it's not that exaggerated." Yang Xiaoli resisted, but unfortunately, there is strength in numbers. Xuanyi and Meiqi joined, and Yang Xiaoli's dream of stealing lollipops was shattered.
After Zhou Duoduo suppressed Yang Xiaoli, she scolded Nie Wei with dissatisfaction: "Brother, is there an assistant like you? You actually teach children bad things."
"I was just joking, who would have thought she would take it seriously." Nie Wei explained with a smile.
"Our little carp is very simple, don't make such jokes in the future." Zhou Duoduo "warned" Nie Wei.
Nie Wei shrugged his shoulders innocently.
The staff around him were so embarrassed that their faces turned red. Some even hid in the corner. Looking at the frequency of their shoulders shaking, you can tell how happy they were laughing.
The atmosphere in the lounge was very happy, but outside the lounge, the atmosphere was very solemn.
HELLOGILRS's agent Xu Ling and photographer Michael were both furious at this time, and in front of them was a man in his forties, smiling and bowing to apologize.
"I'm really sorry, I'm so sorry. It was Zixuan's birthday yesterday, and everyone celebrated for him. He drank a little too much in joy, and got up late today. It's my fault, mainly because he is usually very self-disciplined. I didn't expect him to be late today."
"But please rest assured, he will definitely be here in another half an hour, I promise."
"To express our apology, we don't want the remuneration this time. I'm really sorry to you."
"Is this a question of remuneration? Your delay will also affect my children. If the time of the next schedule is affected, will you be responsible?" Xu Ling asked angrily.
She didn't expect that HELLOGILRS was so busy and could arrive on time, but a tool model was late.
This really pissed her off. You know, the girls are so busy that they count their time by the minute. If this schedule is delayed, then in order to ensure that the next schedule can proceed smoothly, the girls' rest time will inevitably be lost.
Originally, Xu Ling thought that because of the recording of the variety show today, the company did not arrange much work for the girls, and everyone could at least have some free time to rest after work, but she didn't expect that now that this tool model made a fuss, it is likely that the girls' rest time will be shortened.
The agent uncle did not change his face in the face of Xu Ling's complaints, and still smiled and kept apologizing.
Facing this agent who was like a rolling knife, Xu Ling also felt helpless.
Thank you Jingzhi for the generous reward.
