Chapter 1514 1616. Farewell Concert

Cheng Zimo and Liu Chengcheng held their own small wedding, and they were responsible for the whole process.

Liu Chengcheng also participated in the design of the wedding dress and suit. The location chosen was also very special, in a small church in a small village in Italy.

Although the church is small, it has a history of hundreds of years. It is a bit shabby, but not dirty. Instead, it is very clean. Moreover, the church is full of historical charm, which feels more ritual than many beautifully decorated churches.

Nie Wei was also very curious about where Liu Chengcheng found this special little church.

The two invited friends to the wedding. Old Master Cheng and Liu Chengcheng's parents didn't know about it because the two held it during their honeymoon trip.

Shu Chang was unable to attend the New Year's Eve, but Nie Wei flew here specially to attend his apprentice's wedding and served as a witness.

What surprised Nie Wei was that Cheng Zimo, this big wooden man, actually played a surprise at the wedding and prepared a special wedding ring for Liu Chengcheng.

A ring that was completely designed and made by himself from beginning to end.

Nie Wei thought she looked ordinary, even a little ugly, but Liu Chengcheng was so moved that she burst into tears.

Nie Wei could see that Liu Chengcheng was really moved. It can only be said that once an honest person becomes romantic, his lethality is really great.

Nie Wei flew back to China after attending the wedding, while Cheng Zimo and Liu Chengcheng continued their honeymoon trip.

Regarding Cheng Zimo's arrangement, Nie Wei simply gave him a half-year vacation, and it is expected that this vacation will be extended. After all, a long honeymoon trip is accompanied by frequent sweetness, which naturally makes accidents prone to occur.

In addition to attending Cheng Zimo's wedding, Nie Wei has been in Taoyuan, Suzhou and Hangzhou, accompanying Shu Chang, and he rarely steps out of this garden villa.

Of course, Nie Wei does not go out, but many guests come to him, such as Brother Xiao Ming.

Since Nie Wei suggested that he transform, he has filmed two popular TV series in succession during this period, and the roles he played are also more down-to-earth.

One of the films is about poverty alleviation for ethnic minorities, and Xiao Ming plays a rural cadre who helps with poverty alleviation.

The other film tells the story of teaching in the northwest. Xiao Ming plays a man who goes to teach with a passion, but is hit by reality, and then regains his confidence with the expectations and encouragement of his children.

From the subject matter and content alone, it is clear that these two TV series will not be a big hit, but for Xiao Ming, he has really gained a lot from starring in these two TV series.

First of all, his acting skills have been honed, which is also what Nie Wei has always emphasized to him. Xiao Ming really studied these two roles carefully, and even went to the countryside to experience the roles for this purpose and went to teach in the countryside for a month.

During the filming process, he gradually realized the greasy and exaggerated part of his previous acting skills. After filming the two dramas, he felt that he had a feeling of "washing away the lead and dross".

"I have seen the trailer, and I believe you can feel the difference before and after, right?" Nie Wei asked when chatting at that time.

"It's very different. To be honest, when I look back at my acting skills for a while, I really can't stand it myself." Brother Xiaoming smiled bitterly.

Some things are afraid of comparison, and acting is the same.

In fact, after filming two TV series, his acting skills have not improved much, but just getting rid of that greasy feeling, it feels like the whole person has become different.

"Grasp this feeling, the company will help you arrange a new play, and strive to restore your reputation once." Nie Wei smiled and asked: "Do you want to continue filming TV series or movies?"

"Not necessarily, I will decide after reading the script and the role."

After Brother Xiaoming returned to Kyoto, he received the scripts of TV series and movies arranged for him by the company.

There are only two TV scripts, one of which is "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" decided by Zhang Ziyi. The role of the male protagonist is still in competition. At present, a male star in Taiwan is temporarily ahead, but this matter cannot be said until the final moment of signing the contract.

Fanxing is qualified to be the spoiler. As long as Brother Xiaoming nods, Fanxing will naturally help him get this role.

The other script is a web drama script called "Rebirth".

Although it is a web drama, "Rebirth" is not simple. It is adapted from the work of the same author as the masterpiece "Daytime Chase" which was popular on the Internet and scored over 9 on the film review website.

With the reputation of the masterpiece "Daytime Chase", this TV series with a world view is naturally highly anticipated. Since the announcement of the project, many netizens have been discussing it. Many celebrities have been put on the cast list by some people without even knowing it.

This kind of web drama that is destined to be popular is not a loss of value for Xiao Ming.

As for the recommendation of movies, one is a supporting role in the sequel of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". The character is a magician from the East and has a lot of scenes.

The other script is the new film of director Zhang Mou, a martial arts drama about the court.

All four scripts are very good in Xiao Ming's opinion.

After a selection, he first ruled out the script of the sequel of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

It’s not that he looks down on supporting roles. In fact, this character has a lot of scenes in this movie, and starring in Hollywood movies has always been something that domestic actors are eager to do, because in everyone’s eyes, this is an opportunity to go international.

In the past, Brother Xiao Ming would definitely not be able to refuse such an opportunity, but he has experienced a lot, and his way of thinking about the script has also changed.

He clearly remembered what Nie Wei had said to him about casting techniques.

"When choosing a role, you must choose a special one, and the role should come second. Take myself as an example. You have seen "New Police Story"."

"You mean A Wei."

"I'm very impressed, right? I don't know if you have watched a TV series called "Little Fish and Flowers". The heroines of that TV series are Yuan Quan and Fan Binbin, but if I don't remind you, you might Can't remember at all."

"Because what really left a deep impression on people in that TV series was Bai Xue who played the little fairy."

"Why is a supporting role more impressive to the audience than the protagonist? It's because this role is special enough, which is what we call 'likable' as the saying goes."

"So, remember that when you are choosing a role, don't consider the proportion of the role. You should see whether the role will make you memorable, and whether the setting of the role will make you feel interested. As long as the role It’s special enough, even if you are a big villain, as long as you interpret it well, the audience will still like it.”

Nie Wei's words were regarded as golden rules by Brother Xiao Ming.

So when he chose the role this time, he made the choice exactly according to this idea.

The movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is indeed a popular series all over the world, but in the eyes of Xiao Ming, the setting of the Wizard of the East is more like a tool man, who only appears when needed to promote the development of the plot. But it itself doesn't have much of a feature.

This is also the main reason why Brother Xiao Ming gave up on this script.

After all, according to Nie Wei's words, no matter how high the film production level is, if the characters are not outstanding, it will be useless to act.

Brother Xiao Ming is not the kind of newcomer who needs some works as qualifications. At his age and status, he pays more attention to the role itself.

The second script that Brother Xiao Ming chose to eliminate was "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

The quality of this script is naturally of the highest quality, especially since the actress opposite is a top star like Zhang Ziyi. The position of the leading actor is naturally very hot, and many first-line male artists in the industry are vying for it.

It’s just that after Xiao Ming read the script, he didn’t like this role.

Because the palace fighting drama itself means that a lot of the text and color of this TV drama will be devoted to the concubines and queens. Although the emperor is the male protagonist, no matter how many scenes he plays, he cannot change his nature as a tool.

The same was true for the previous "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Teacher Sun became very popular because of this TV series, but Teacher Chen, who played the role of Emperor Yongzheng, was only a small hit, and his attention was even less than that of Jiang Xin, who played the role of Concubine Hua.

After Xiao Ming read the script, he felt that the character Qianlong in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" was probably the same.

In the end, Xiao Ming chose Zhang Mou's movie and the much-anticipated online drama "Rebirth" to everyone's surprise.

I heard Brother Xiao Ming jokingly say that the moment he made his choice, his manager became anxious with him.

"They don't understand. They think Zhang Mou's position as the leading actor in a movie can't be compared to that of a leading actor in an online drama. But I don't think so. Of these four characters, the one that impressed me the most was in "Rebirth" Qin Chi’s role.”

"Having lost his memory, he is both good and evil, and his whole body is full of desire for people to explore."

"Just from reading and understanding the text, I am deeply fascinated by this character. I think this character will definitely be deeply rooted in people's hearts after this TV series is filmed."

"The first step for me to start over is not to need any awards, but to be able to be a blockbuster. Although Zhang Mou's movies are good, they are not enough, but this web drama "Rebirth", I saw it for the first time, and I knew it. That's what I want."

When Brother Xiao Ming said these words, his tone was full of confidence.

After a year of silence, while Brother Xiao Ming had washed away all his glory, he also truly understood what he wanted, threw away the baggage of vanity, and his purpose became very clear.

In addition to Brother Xiao Ming, many artists such as Zhang Ziyi, Cheng Kun, Jiang Xin, Fan Binbin, etc. also visited Taoyuan during this period. On the one hand, they came to visit Shu Chang, but more often they came to discuss the next development with Nie Wei.

Nie Wei feels like he is the godfather of this industry. Should he also set up a small dark room, hold a kitten, and then point at the visiting celebrities outside and say, "I want to give them benefits, and they can't refuse." I'?

Ahem, I’m thinking too much.

Although Nie Wei is very imaginative, his status in the Chinese entertainment industry today is indeed the same.

The number of people around him had grown unknowingly, and everyone gathered together, with Nie Wei as the core, to form an important interest group in this circle.

Just like the line in The Godfather, Nie Wei can give benefits to this group of people, and they can also give back to Nie Wei and help each other.

Because my belly is getting bigger and bigger, the amount of exercise I can do is gradually decreasing.

Coupled with the hot summer, apart from going out to bask in the sun for half an hour every day, comfort is basically just having the cat at home, and exercise is just some simple yoga movements.

In terms of diet, Nie Wei controlled her, but Shu Chang couldn't help it and would get up in the middle of the night to eat secretly.

Once when Nie Wei caught him, Shu Chang didn't edit for himself. He just sat on the ground and shed tears. He was so pitiful that he cried like pear blossoms and raindrops.

Since then, except for Shu Chang's daily sugar intake, Nie Wei has asked Shu Chang not to exceed the standard, but he has ignored the rest of the food.

Shu Chang's weight has also increased dramatically. After a few months, from 95 kg in the early days of having a baby, it has now exceeded 140 kg.

And this is the weight Shu Chang measured a month ago. Since then, all the scales in the house have disappeared overnight.

Nie Wei found that Shu Chang frowned every time she looked in the mirror. Obviously, she was not satisfied with her appearance at the moment, but she would still eat when she should, and she couldn't eat less. The key is that she wanted to drag Nie Wei to get fat together.

It's a pity that Nie Wei has a physique that can't gain weight no matter how much he eats. In addition, he exercises a lot every day. In the past few months, Nie Wei's weight has actually lightened by two kilograms compared to when he first moved to Taoyuan.

Nie Wei didn't dare to tell Shu Chang about this, for fear that she would be irritable.

Nie Wei had something to do recently, and he had to go back to Beijing again, because the expiration date of HELLOGIRLS's group contract has come.

In the past few months, there have been fans who hope that Fanxing Group can prevent HELLOGIRLS from disbanding.

But the fans' ideas are too simple.

They always think that they can do something if they want to, but sometimes, even the seemingly omnipotent Fanxing can't do it.

For example, the disbandment of HELLOGIRLS.

After all, not all members have personal contracts with Fanxing Group, especially the three artists from overseas. Their agencies don't negotiate with Fanxing Group at all, and they are ready to take their children "home" when the time comes. Faced with this situation, even Nie Wei has no way.

But for these girls whose agencies are in China, Nie Wei has a hundred ways to keep them in Fanxing Group.

During this period, Fanxing Group has also been working hard to communicate with the agencies behind these girls and has made good progress.

Nie Wei returned to Beijing this time to be a special guest at the farewell concert of HELLOGIRLS, and also to bring a surprise to some of the girls.

July 25th, the weather was sunny.

Zhou Duoduo rarely returned to the villa to stay for one night, because today was the day of the farewell concert.

Although everyone said that disbanding was not a farewell and that they could still keep in touch in the future, everyone knew that there might never be another opportunity for eleven people to get together like today.
