Chapter 1513 1615. End of July
"Hello, this is the customer service center of Fanxing Group. I am Xin Zi, customer service number 056. How can I help you?"
"Want to ask for Mr. Nie Wei's phone number? Sorry, we cannot disclose personal information to you. Please forgive me."
"Want to ask when Mr. Nie Wei and Ms. Shu Chang are available for an interview? Sorry, this is not within our business scope. I will consult you later. Please leave your phone number and we will reply you within 48 hours."
After Xin Zi sent away a reporter, she just breathed a sigh of relief, and the phone rang again.
The moment she answered the phone, Xin Zi's face instantly showed a professional smile, her voice was as kind as always, but her eyes were exhausted.
The customer service department of Fanxing Group was very busy in the past, but today it was too busy.
Since Nie Wei announced the good news, the phone ringing of Fanxing Group's customer service center has basically been ringing non-stop. Every customer service staff has been working continuously at their posts, and they don't even have time to go to the bathroom.
Entertainment media from all over the country and even abroad are calling to ask for Nie Wei and Shu Chang's contact information, to schedule interviews with them, and to invite them to shoot fashion magazines.
There are also many program groups that hope to invite the two to be interviewed on the show.
There are also manufacturers who want to ask the two to endorse, or simply give away their own products for free, under the pretext of asking Nie Wei and Shu Chang to experience it, and also provide door-to-door delivery services.
In just one afternoon, the client has received more than 20 manufacturers of milk powder alone, and there are countless other maternal and child products such as baby carriages, cribs, etc.
There are hundreds of manufacturers listed on an A4 paper. In just one afternoon, more than three such A4 papers have been accumulated, and the number is still increasing.
"It's a pity that there are more, Nie Wei and Shu Chang won't accept it." An artist in the company who knew the news said enviously.
For ordinary little stars, an endorsement can make them happy like the New Year. After all, endorsements and advertising can be said to be the fastest and easiest jobs for stars to make money.
The standard for celebrities to compete for status, the price and amount of endorsements are very important.
More endorsements means that the celebrity is popular, and high endorsement prices mean that the celebrity is popular and famous.
You can't expect Bulgari to find a third-tier artist to be its brand ambassador, and you can't let a first-tier celebrity endorse a product of a certain local brand. Let's not talk about the money, the key is that it will make the image of the big star devalue.
Nie Wei and Shu Chang received hundreds of invitations to endorse products in just one afternoon. It is conceivable that for small artists, this is something they envy.
This is also the reason why so many small artists are desperate to climb up.
No matter what Shu Chang and Nie Wei think about endorsements, as long as they consult, the customer service center will leave their contact information, and then they will be transferred to the company's agency department. At that time, a special person will screen out a list and submit it to Nie Wei and Shu Chang.
Of course, it is very likely that all the brands on this list will have no chance.
After all, Nie Wei and Shu Chang haven't received endorsement contracts for a long time, and they have long passed the stage of needing major endorsements to support them.
The company received only three words from Nie Wei's instructions, that is, ignore it.
Nie Wei's idea is very simple. My wife is pregnant, I won't hide it. Since you guessed it, I will admit it, but if you want me to cooperate with you to hype and promote it, forget it.
With this time, Nie Wei will take a walk with his wife and watch TV for a while. This is called fragrant.
So early the next morning, Nie Wei just posted another message on the Internet to thank netizens for their blessings. As for those cooperation invitations, Nie Wei asked the company to ignore them.
Su Qing and Zhou Jianguo also came to Taoyuan in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Since Shu Chang had a baby, for the old couple, traveling has automatically moved to the second place.
So after Shu Chang and Nie Wei came to Suzhou and Hangzhou, the old couple naturally came here with them. The idea is also very simple, that is, they are afraid that Nie Wei can't take good care of Shu Chang.
In fact, Nie Wei thinks this is unnecessary.
He may not be able to take good care of her alone, but there are so many people in Taoyuan. Not only are there professional caregivers, Nie Wei has also hired top nutritionists, yoga coaches, family doctors, etc.
These people are all top talents in the industry. In addition, Taoyuan is also well-equipped with various medicines and medical equipment, and the nearest hospital is only ten minutes away.
But Su Qing and Zhou Jianguo still feel unsafe.
In Su Qing's words, no matter how capable outsiders are, they will not do their best, and family members will do their best to discover many problems that ordinary people cannot see.
So the old couple came and decided to accompany Shu Chang all the time.
Min Chun also came with him. Shu Chang has few relatives and has the best relationship with this aunt. In addition, Shu Chang must have no work recently, and Min Chun is also idle, so they simply came to Taoyuan in Suzhou and Hangzhou together, which can be accompanied by Shu Chang and can be regarded as a trip.
This was Min Chun's first time in Taoyuan, but he was not unfamiliar with this super large garden villa.
After all, when Nie Wei spent 1 billion yuan to buy this garden villa, it was on the headlines of the news, and Shu Chang showed her the decoration renderings of this garden more than once.
But seeing is believing, the real garden is really more beautiful than the renderings.
When she was in elementary school, she remembered learning a text about gardens. The gardens described in the text were adapted to local conditions and ingenious, with a perfect painting at every step.
At this moment, she was in Taoyuan, and the article came to her mind.
Living in such a garden, the body and mind really became comfortable. No wonder Nie Wei was willing to spend 1 billion yuan to buy this place. It was really worth it.
Min Chun cut the fruit and brought it to the living room. Shu Chang was lying on the sofa watching TV.
"Eat fruit."
"Ah, why are there kiwis, dragon fruits and cherry tomatoes again." Shu Chang just got up and saw the fruits in the fruit plate, and fell down again with a look of disappointment.
She didn't like these fruits because they were not very sweet.
"The nutritionist and the doctor have told you not to eat too sweet food. The daily intake should be limited. Today you have eaten half a honeydew melon and two fragrant pears. According to the doctor's standard, you have already exceeded the limit." Min Chun said.
Shu Chang immediately retorted: "But why do I hear people say that I am so greedy? It's because the baby in my belly wants to eat. If you don't give me food, you are bullying the baby in my belly."
"You are making a crooked argument. How about I call Nie Wei over to judge between us?" Min Chun would not indulge Shu Chang, especially after Nie Wei's repeated instructions, she would not give in on Shu Chang's health issues.
When she heard that she was going to find Nie Wei, Shu Chang wilted and muttered a lot of words, but Min Chun pretended not to hear it.
"Is Nie Wei busy with work again? Didn't you say that it was all handed over to those people in Kyoto?" Min Chun sat down, forked a cherry and handed it to Shu Chang first, then picked up another small fork and asked.
"It's not about work, I was talking to Luo Kai on the phone." Shu Chang said with a smile: "Uncle Luo Kai was kicked out of the house by Sister Luo Yuan."
"Woc, so exciting." Min Chun exclaimed in surprise.
"Auntie, don't swear!" Shu Chang protested dissatisfiedly. After Min Chun apologized, she continued: "I also heard about the phone call between Nie Wei and him. Now Nie Wei is giving him advice."
"As far as I am concerned, what advice is there? He just spoils his daughter too much. He listens to his daughter in everything. Over the years, many of his girlfriends have been ruined by his daughter. I think some of them are good." Min Chun felt sorry for Luo Kai.
Luo Kai is Nie Wei's first agent. He met Min Chun in 2000. The two have known each other for 20 years, so they naturally have a good relationship.
Min Chun probably knows a lot about how Luo Kai has been doing these years. Min Chun really sympathizes with Luo Kai's experience.
"Luo Yuan is used to being a leader and always wants to control others. It's her job to manage subordinates in the company, but at home she still wants to control her own father. I really can't stand it."
"You said that in his family, Luo Kai has to listen to Luo Yuan in everything, even things like dating and getting married, Luo Yuan has to control it. Isn't this a complete reversal of the relationship? Luo Yuan has become the mother and Luo Kai has become the son. Don't you think Luo Yuan is too much?"
Min Chun became more and more angry, which scared Shu Chang. She quickly advised: "Auntie, don't be angry. I just heard something. It seems that Uncle Luo Kai has really made up his mind this time."
"Really?" Min Chun was skeptical.
It was precisely because of the familiarity that Min Chun didn't believe that Luo Kai could fight against Luo Yuan.
"Really, Uncle Luo Kai called Nie Wei this time just to ask him to borrow a house to live in first. He is ready to move out."
Just when Shu Chang was explaining to Min Chun, Nie Wei was indeed arranging a place for Luo Kai.
"There is an unused villa near the lakeside villa, and the decoration has been completed. Tomorrow I will ask someone to disinfect and remove formaldehyde. You can move in with your luggage the day after tomorrow. You can stay in the hotel for the next two days."
"Luo Yuan should have frozen your credit card and bank card. Go to the company's finance department to get a card tomorrow. I will greet them in advance."
"In addition, since you have made up your mind, don't always think about calling Luo Yuan to explain. Even if we have said the truth a hundred times, she herself doesn't want to understand it. No matter how much we talk, it's useless. When she turns this corner, she will naturally understand and accept the reality."
"Nie Wei, it's really great to have you support me." Luo Kai thanked.
"I didn't say I would support you. To put it bluntly, you still have to make your own decision. At most, I can help you maintain your food, clothing, housing and transportation." Nie Wei said.
"Okay, let's stop talking. Your girlfriend is probably waiting for you."
"By the way, I have one last word for you."
"What?" Luo Kai was about to hang up the phone, but when he heard this, he hurriedly asked.
"Take care of yourself. You are already fifty years old after all." Nie Wei said with a smile, and then hung up the phone without giving Luo Kai a chance to reply.
Luo Kai was stunned for a long time holding the phone before he came to his senses. He couldn't help but laugh and curse.
Nie Wei came to the living room and happened to hear Shu Chang and Min Chun also talking about Luo Kai. When they saw him, they hurriedly greeted him and asked him to tell them what he talked about with Luo Kai.
"Nothing, I just arranged a place for Luo Kai."
"Has Luo Kai really made up his mind this time?" Min Chun asked hurriedly.
Nie Wei looked at Min Chun strangely and asked curiously, "Aunt, why do you care so much about Luo Kai?"
"What are you thinking, brat? I care about Luo Kai as a friend. After all, Luo Kai and I have known each other for almost 20 years." Min Chun slapped Nie Wei's arm angrily, causing Shu Chang to glare at her several times.
"It seems so." Nie Wei's answer was ambiguous, but no matter whether Min Chun or Shu Chang asked more, Nie Wei didn't say anything more.
Nie Wei really didn't want to talk about it, because he thought it was better not to talk about other people's family affairs. Whether good or bad, it was other people's business. Even if you have a good relationship with this family, you should not ask through a third party. If you are really curious, you might as well ask the other party directly.
Spring went and summer came, and time unknowingly came to July.
During this period of time, a lot of things happened.
"Captain of China" was released for 46 days, and the final box office reached 5.802 billion, setting a new box office record. However, many people feel it is a pity that it still did not break through the 6 billion mark.
In fact, when "Captain of China" was about to be taken off the shelves, many people advised Nie Wei to extend the release date. This is not easy for other directors, but it is a simple thing for Nie Wei, who holds the theater chain. As long as he does not care about the loss, Nie Wei is fully capable of extending the release time of the film.
But Nie Wei did not agree.
Some people also suggested that Nie Wei simply buy the box office quietly. 200 million is an astronomical figure for others, but for Nie Wei and Fanxing Group, it is not very important. In Lao Wang's words, this is just "pocket money".
Nie Wei still did not agree.
The first movie in the mainland with a box office of 6 billion, this honor is indeed very tempting, and Nie Wei is also eager to get such an honor, but if it is a fake way, Nie Wei disdains it.
He does not think that he will not be able to make a movie with a box office of more than 6 billion in the future, especially under the premise that the current film environment is so good, this vision is not out of reach.
Only the honor you get by your own strength is the real honor, and the honor you get by fraud is not honor, but worrying day and night, because you will be afraid that someone will expose that it is fake.
So Nie Wei would rather not have it than to fake it.
In addition to the box office of "Captain China", Cheng Zimo and Liu Chengcheng's small wedding was also held during this period...
