Chapter 1500 1602. One person, one dream
Yang Xiaoli was stunned after she asked the question. Listening to the constant complaints of her teammates, she just wanted to ask herself, who am I? Where am I? Why am I asking this question?
After Nie Wei came to his senses, he couldn't help laughing.
He really didn't expect that someone would still remember this incident. Looking at Yang Xiaoli who was attacked by the crowd, Nie Wei pretended to be angry and said: "I said you guys, Yang Xiaoli has a reputation for keeping her promise, but you still say her, do you want to cheat, or do you think I really can't remember it?"
"Brother, when Yang Xiaoli mentioned this just now, you were obviously stunned for a moment." Zhou Duoduo complained on the side.
"Just call me brother, please don't add the word 'old', thank you." Nie Wei looked around and saw Zhou Duoduo was about to speak, so he threatened directly: "If you say anything else, your pocket money will be gone."
Zhou Duoduo rolled her eyes speechlessly, am I still someone who lacks pocket money now?
After hearing what Nie Wei said, Yang Xiaoli seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and defended herself, "You don't want to imagine that Brother Nie Wei just listened to us once in the car and remembered all our needs. He has such a good memory, how could he forget about the bet?"
"Brother Nie Wei, do you think I am right?"
Nie Wei nodded with satisfaction and gave Yang Xiaoli a thumbs up.
The others had just been "reprimanded" by Nie Wei, and they didn't dare to teach Yang Xiaoli a lesson blatantly, so for a while everyone was staring at her fiercely, which obviously meant that this matter was not over.
Yang Xiaoli lowered her head and ate fiercely, pretending not to see it.
But since she had already mentioned this matter, Nie Wei naturally couldn't pretend not to hear it. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "I am a very curious person, so I thought about it, the punishment might as well satisfy my curiosity. What is each of your dreams? You must tell the truth, and you can't perfunctory me."
Is this the punishment?
The girls were all stunned. They had never expected that the punishment they were waiting for was not a common prank in variety shows. However, after thinking about it, everyone fell silent at the same time.
What is your dream?
"My dream is to be a successful singer in the future and sing until I can't sing anymore." This time, the first person to speak was Da Juan, who was usually very transparent. The little girl raised her hand and talked about her dream with a shining look.
"What do you think is a successful singer?" Nie Wei asked with a smile.
Da Juan thought about it and replied with a smile: "I think that Sister Alan is a very successful singer. I hope to be someone like Sister Alan."
Nie Wei smiled. He was not surprised when Da Juan mentioned Alan.
For many people born in the 1960s, the best female singers in their memory are probably Deng Liyun, Cai Qin, and Cheng Shuhua. For people born in the 1970s, the best female singers may be Wang Fei, or Na Yin, or Yang Yuying, or Xu Huaiyu.
For people born in the 1980s and 1990s, there are even more, such as Yan Zi, Ruoyin, Jolin, SHE... and of course Alan.
Alan is one of the few divas who are still active in the music industry. Her reputation has spread across the world and she is a veritable Asian diva.
Not only Dajuan, many young pop singers in China hope to become the next Alan, just like many young actresses set their sights on Zhang Ziyi for a while.
"I want to buy a big house, one for my dad, one for my mom, and one for myself. It would be best if it is a villa not far away. Although we don't live together, we are very close and can visit each other when we have nothing to do." Yang Xiaoli said the second.
Xiaojing, who was standing next to her, heard her words and hugged Yang Xiaoli's arm, saying with a smile: "My dream is to buy a big house. I think only a house can be considered a home."
"That's right, we are sisters who buy houses!" Yang Xiaoli said it very seriously at first, but when Xiaojing finished, she started to show off again and pulled Fu Jing to make fun of her.
"Yes, it's a great wish. When you save enough money in the future, you can come to me and I will sell you a big house at a 20% discount." Nie Wei said with a smile.
"Then it's settled!" Yang Xiaoli's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he quickly confirmed it.
"A gentleman's word is as good as a promise."
"Well, the kind that even eight horses can't catch up with."
Next was Xuan Yi. The girl thought for a long time, and when she spoke, her eyes were still confused: "I just want to be a qualified idol. As for what I should do if I can't be an idol in the future, I haven't thought about it yet."
"You are already a very qualified idol now." Nie Wei said.
"Really?" Xuan Yi asked in surprise.
Nie Wei nodded affirmatively: "I think among the eleven girls, if I were to choose an idol, I would choose you without hesitation."
"Your posture, your conversation, or your professional skills, you are the most standard of all the idols I have ever seen."
"You and Yang Xiaoli are like two completely opposite extremes. She is the most non-standard idol, and you are the most orthodox idol. Yang Xiaoli, don't glare at me. I didn't say you are bad. You all have your own good points."
After everyone laughed, Nie Wei continued: "I use two items to describe them. Listen and see if you think it fits."
"I think Xuanyi is one of those high-end products, beautifully packaged and placed on the counter, which will attract countless people at first sight. However, the price of high-end products is often very high, which inevitably makes some people unable to afford it, causing some people to feel distant from her."
"As for Yang Xiaoli, I think she is more like a gashapon, the kind that can be turned for 500 yen in Akihabara..."
"Why should I be an egg and 500 yen?" Yang Xiaoli couldn't help but interrupt.
"Listen to me." Nie Wei smiled helplessly, stopped Yang Xiaoli's complaints, and continued: "Gachapon, you should know that there are good and bad in it, and the most important thing is that it is cheap. Although there are a lot of ordinary products, the length of time will make people feel disappointed, but when the limited ones appear, they will give people a huge sense of surprise."
"She is a girl who can give people surprises, so those who don't like her will disdain her, and those who like her will be unable to stop."
Xuanyi listened to Nie Wei's words quietly, very seriously, and occasionally nodded, because he felt that Nie Wei's description was particularly appropriate.
Yang Xiaoli looked disgusted. Although Nie Wei's description was quite realistic, Yang Xiaoli still didn't like being compared with Gachapon, after all, Gachapon was so LOW.
Seeing the different reactions of the two girls, Nie Wei smiled in his heart.
People's maturity has nothing to do with age, let alone gender, but only with the amount of experience. With more experience, teenagers can think about things as maturely as adults, while with less experience, even if you are sixty years old, you still live like a child.
Like Yang Xiaoli and Xiaojing, their families are very ordinary, so their dreams are very realistic. Making money, buying a house, having a family, and being able to live without worries are their dreams.
Dajuan is too young, which is the age full of fantasies. Just like when the teacher asked us what we wanted to do in the future when we were young, we would say we wanted to be scientists, setting ourselves a goal that seems out of reach but we think is completely possible.
Xuanyi's confusion is also because of her experience.
She entered this industry to become an idol, and she has always required herself to be a qualified idol, and she did it.
But when Nie Wei broke her comfort zone and asked her if she couldn't be an idol in the future, she felt confused.
Her family conditions destined her to have no worries about food and clothing in this life. She didn't need to struggle like Yang Xiaoli, and she had her own house and car, so she didn't need to consider the reality.
It can also be seen here that she doesn't have a long-term goal for her career planning. Maybe one day she doesn't want to be an idol, and she will choose to retire directly.
Because being an idol is just her interest and hobby, not her profession for a living.
The reason why she insists on standing on the stage now, Nie Wei thinks that she may not want to live up to her hard work over the years, or she may be nostalgic for the unique love of fans for her.
Compared with Xuanyi's confusion, Meiqi's dream is much clearer. She wants to be a superstar.
"I want to be a superstar, and I want to be a superstar in the three fields of film, television and music. I like performing very much, playing all kinds of people in front of the camera, and experiencing all kinds of life. Being an actor makes me feel like I have lived ten lives in one lifetime, but I also like singing and dancing, and I like myself shining on the stage."
Speaking of this, Meiqi suddenly laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "Hahahahaha, am I too fanciful and overestimating my own abilities?"
"How can an artist not have confidence?" Nie Wei said with a smile: "But if you want to be a superstar in the three fields of film, television and music, you have to work harder. You have to be mentally prepared."
"Yeah!" Meiqi looked at Nie Wei and nodded seriously.
"Yami, what about you?" Nie Wei asked the captain next to him.
"I want to make independent music and sing the songs I want to sing." Yami hesitated and replied.
Nie Wei nodded. He caught the hesitation of the girl when she said her dream, and Yami's dream also made Nie Wei understand the reason for her hesitation.
Independent music is generally different from mainstream music and belongs to a niche. From recording to publishing, it is generally completed by individuals. The current market prospects are not clear. The main reason is the lack of funds and publicity channels. In addition, there is almost no threshold in this circle, which also leads to the mixing of good and bad, and it is not recognized by most people.
So this is a very difficult road.
Now there are always some successful singers on variety shows who mention that they sold cars and houses when they were young to make music. They said it lightly, and some were even regarded as jokes. But only after experiencing it, you know how difficult it is to get ahead in this industry.
Why did so many bands actively participate in the rock band program organized by Fanxing before? It was because rock was too niche and had no own publicity channels, so they cherished it especially when they got an opportunity.
At present, the same is true for independent music, and it is even more difficult than the rock circle.
After all, there are still a few representative figures in the rock circle, such as the original Black Panther, Tang Dynasty, Samsara Band, or independent rockers like Cui Jian and Ding Wu, and even Mr. Wang, who is now ridiculed by many people as half of the country, are also representatives of the rock circle.
But what about independent music? Who are the current representatives in China?
If an industry does not have an outstanding leader, the rest of the sheep will definitely have a harder and more confused life.
Lai Xiaoqi hopes that his career in the entertainment industry will be smooth, and he also hopes that he can get married before he is 30 and have a cute baby. In the end, he also added that he hopes that the baby will grow taller than his mother.
Xiao Caihong wants to be a singer who can sing and dance all the time. She hopes that she can become the JOLIN of the mainland.
There is also Huang Ting, who wants to try some behind-the-scenes work after ending her idol career, such as music producer, and Summer...
Each girl talked about her dream, and Nie Wei listened carefully.
Until the last member finished talking about his dream, Nie Wei clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile: "Thank you for satisfying my curiosity. In return, what I can do is to try my best to help you realize your dream."
"You can regard this sentence as my promise to everyone."
After the meal, Nie Wei left, and the girls stayed to finish the last program interview. After all, their schedules were very busy, and they didn't know when they would be able to make an appointment next time, so today they could only let them work harder for a while and finish the interview.
In the hotel's private room, the program team pulled open the curtain that had been prepared long ago, and then placed the products of the title sponsor in place, and the interview began.
The girls here worked overtime to be interviewed, while Nie Wei was sitting in a luxury car, rushing home.
He would also do the interview. After all, he was the protagonist of today's program, and it would be unreasonable not to do the behind-the-scenes interview. However, his time was much freer, so there was no need to stay up late with the girls. He could just find time to make up for the interview session later.
Zhou Duoduo complained a lot about this, but it was useless. In Nie Wei's words, who made you not have enough status? When you become popular in the future, you can also be willful.
The entertainment industry is so realistic. If you are popular, everything is good for you. If you are not popular, everything you do is wrong.
When Nie Wei returned home, the lights in the villa were still on.
Thinking about how tired he was running around outside all day, when he saw someone at home still waiting for him with the lights on, Nie Wei's heart was warm.
It was only when Nie Wei entered the house that he realized that he was overthinking.
There was no welcome from Shu Chang, nor a hot midnight snack. His wife was curled up on the sofa, watching a TV series with a screen projection device, and it was a TV series he shot himself.
Nie Wei changed into pajamas and sat next to Shu Chang.
"Did the shooting go well today?" Shu Chang asked, staring at the TV without blinking.
"Not bad." Nie Wei answered casually.
After hearing Nie Wei's answer, Shu Chang glanced at Nie Wei lightly and suddenly asked: "I heard that you became the boyfriend of many people today?"
