Wang Jiawei came to Kyoto in such a hurry to find himself, Nie Wei was really surprised when he learned the news, but out of respect, Nie Wei still put down the work at hand and rushed to the company to meet Wang Jiawei as soon as possible.

Along with Wang Jiawei was Yuan Baye, the little old man who gave Nie Wei a high evaluation at the beginning, speaking of which, Wang Jiawei recognized Nie Wei, and his praise also played a great role.

In the company's tea room, Nie Wei and Wang Jiawei met for the first time.

After greeting each other, after everyone sat down, Wang Jiawei directly opened his mouth and sent another formal invitation to Nie Wei: "Nie Wei, I have seen your performance, and you are really suitable to play the role of Ma San." ”

Wang Jiawei was so straight to the point, it really seemed a little too eager, Nie Wei had no choice but to say what he thought in his heart, and replied: "Director Wang, to be honest, I am hesitant about this role, the label on his body is too distinct, I am afraid that I will not interpret it well." ”

"You're too modest, since I chose you without an audition, I naturally believe in your acting skills, and don't you think there is a lot of room for this role to play? Young people should try more roles, don't trap yourself in an image, right?" Wang Jiawei's speech was quite a bit of a good and seductive meaning, sure enough, every big director has no bad eloquence, otherwise how to tell the actors.

And when Wang Jiawei was persuading Nie Wei, he was also observing Nie Wei's expression.

When Nie Wei answered his answer of 'hesitation' just now, Wang Jiawei was happy, although Nie Wei did not agree immediately, but this 'hesitation' is at least much better than rejection, this word means that Nie Wei's heart is wavering, and he can't say that he can sign Nie Wei today if he works hard.

Therefore, he also put a lot of effort into persuading Nie Wei and Wang Jiawei, not only expressing his 'ambition' for this movie, but even telling Nie Wei about the play on the spot, and analyzing the personality and charm of Ma San's character.

Yuan Baye on the side and Wang Zhonglei, who was accompanying him, instantly became helpless, so they had to drink a pot of tea one after another, during which the two also went to the toilet together and smoked a cigarette, and when the two entered the box again, they found that Nie Wei and Wang Jiawei had not talked about the movie roles anymore.

"Director Wang, I can agree to take this role, but I don't have enough time, because I may have another movie to shoot next, and the start time will be in the early spring of next year, so the time will be a little tight. Nie Wei opened his mouth and gave Wang Jiawei a preventive injection in advance.

Because in his impression, this great director is famous for his ability to procrastinate, and a movie can be made for several years, especially this "The Grandmaster", it is rumored that one of the actors is at most a fist embroidered leg before filming, and by the time of filming, he has already won the martial arts championship, one is that the actor does have some talent for practicing martial arts, but more importantly, the span of this movie is too long.

Now that Wang Jiawei invites himself, it is estimated that the actors he invited before have 'run away', and he is probably still a substitute.

Of course, Wang Jiawei's invitation was very sincere, and even came to Kyoto specifically, Nie Wei also felt that it was quite important, and it didn't matter if he was substituted.

Hearing Nie Wei's words, Wang Jiawei replied without thinking about it: "It's okay, there must be enough time." ”

Hearing this, Nie Wei had no reason to refuse, the key was that he also wanted to cooperate with this director of sunglasses once, but when Nie Wei didn't expect it, Wang Jiawei's answer was not at all what he thought, and his so-called time was not what Nie Wei thought at all.

The two shook hands and reached a verbal agreement, Wang Zhonglei and Yuan Baye just rushed back to the box and happened to see the scene in front of them.

"Little brother Nie Wei agreed?" Seeing this, Eighth Master Yuan smiled and asked.

"Yes. Wang Jiawei also smiled, then looked at Wang Zhonglei and said, "Mr. Wang, can we draw up a contract now? ”

The contract was quickly drawn up, Nie Wei is a top actor in Asia, especially the box office and reputation of the last movie in Hollywood are also good, so his worth is naturally expensive, and the external quotation of Nie Wei's movie salary is 15 million, in fact, this is priceless, and even the boss of a film company offered a sky-high price of 30 million, and Nie Wei did not respond.

Because Nie Wei knows very well in his heart that in order to maintain his value as an actor, he must strive for excellence in the movies he starred in, and only in this way can he always maintain his reputation, so as to maintain his appeal to the box office.

However, fifteen million is only Nie Wei's salary for playing the leading role, Wang Jiawei asked Nie Wei to play a supporting role, so naturally he can't get so much salary, and Wang Jiawei can't give it, after all, he pays Nie Wei 15 million for this supporting role, so what should I do with the protagonist? The salaries of several protagonists are not as much as those for supporting roles, and they don't rebel?

But Nie Wei has not played supporting roles in recent years, so the two sides discussed it and finally determined that Nie Wei's salary was 5 million yuan.

When Yuan Baye heard this number on the side, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a supporting role cost five million, this Wang Jiawei's filming really costs money, if he is allowed to be a director, I am afraid he will not invite Nie Wei at all, because it is too expensive, exceeding the bottom line of his eighth master's heart.

But in Wang Jiawei's opinion, Nie Wei only received five million, which is simply a value-for-money thing, before coming to Kyoto, he also did a survey, and knew how terrifying Nie Wei's box office appeal in Asia is now.

Of course, the king of sunglasses has never been under pressure on the box office of his movies, and the businessmen who can find him to make movies may not expect to make money, but no director will refuse more at the box office.

As for the rest of the treatment, everything depends on the treatment of the male and female protagonists, after all, Nie Wei is a top actor, even if he plays a huge role, but this is what he deserves.

After the contract was signed, Nie Wei curiously asked when the filming would start, but he was dumbfounded.

"Maybe it will have to wait until next year, it may be summer, it may be autumn, to be honest, I still need to think about this version of the script, and there are some masters I have to visit, and the actors also need to be trained......"

Wang Jiawei's later words Nie Wei was in no mood to listen to it, he had long heard that this great director was very capable of procrastination in making movies, but when he really experienced it, he found that the degree of procrastination of the other party still exceeded his imagination.

It seems that he promised so happily just now, not because he wanted to finish filming before the year, but because he was ready to wait for his new movie to finish, and he might not even start the filming.

This is really X dog, Nie Wei couldn't help but say another dirty word in his heart.

But as soon as he finished scolding this sentence in his heart, Nie Wei was suddenly stunned, thought of a sentence in Wang Jiawei's words just now, and immediately asked him: "You mean, you are going to visit some masters, are you a teacher who practices martial arts?"

"That's right, the original intention of this movie is to construct a love-hate relationship between martial arts in the Republic of China, which involves a lot of martial arts knowledge, and it is not enough to rely on the eighth master alone, so I have visited a lot of masters intermittently over the years and asked them for advice. Wang Jiawei said very frankly to Nie Wei.

Hearing this, Nie Wei's eyes began to glow, and he said directly: "Director, can I go with you?"

Not only was Wang Jiawei surprised by Nie Wei's sudden request, but even Yuan Baye on the side widened his eyes, and Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but blurt out: "Nie Wei, what did you say?"

"I mean, I want to visit these masters with the director, and ask some questions about national art by the way. Nie Wei replied seriously, and at the same time asked Wang Jiawei again: "Director Wang, I'm very interested in this aspect, so can you bring me one?"

"Of course that's fine. Wang Jiawei was stunned for a moment, and immediately agreed after coming back to his senses, while Yuan Baye on the side looked at Nie Wei thoughtfully.

Nie Wei said that what he asked for advice was sincere, because Wang Jiawei's words just now made him find a good way to solve one of his troubles.

A while ago, after a long period of accumulation, Nie Wei finally integrated the bright energy and the dark energy together, and stepped into the realm of transforming energy, but for Nie Wei, this progress did not tend to be perfect, and there was this flaw.

Because Nie Wei's boxing skills actually came from the old man who adopted him at the beginning, although the old man involved a wide range of boxing skills, and he didn't hide all the things that were handed over to Nie Wei, but after all, it was a family boxing, after all, there was a limit in his vision, and this restriction also blocked Nie Wei's way to continue to improve.

Now he is not a real Grandmaster, he can only be regarded as a half-step Grandmaster.

But Wang Jiawei's words gave Nie Wei an idea, since the other party wants to ask a lot of martial artists, Nie Wei will undoubtedly have a lot of opportunities to ask for advice, and at that time, it will definitely be helpful for him to truly step into the realm of grandmasters in the future.

Wang Zhonglei looked at Nie Wei's determination to follow Wang Jiawei, and he also smiled helplessly, acquiescing to Nie Wei's choice.

The list of Wang Jiawei's visits is full of more than 20 martial arts people from various sects or some reclusive folk masters, seeing this list, Nie Wei is also looking forward to it more and more.

However, Wang Jiawei did not immediately visit these seniors, in fact, he still had a lot to do, if it wasn't for inviting Nie Wei, he should be busy with his work now.

And Nie Wei couldn't leave immediately, he also needed to rush all the work before he could leave Kyoto, after all, some documents and decisions had to be completed by himself.

Before leaving Kyoto, Wang Jiawei told Nie Wei that it would be about a month before the journey to find the master would begin.

And this month also happened to give Nie Wei enough time to deal with his own affairs, and when the time came, he would have nothing to do and concentrate on completing this journey.

Before I knew it, twenty days had passed, and a lot of things had happened during this period, such as Apple's continuous price limit finally slowing down.

And this trend also made many retail investors holding Apple stocks feel that it was okay, and they sold their stocks to cash out, and Nie Wei also used all the funds of his investment company to buy these loose stocks as much as possible, but the process was not smooth.

Because not only Nie Wei, but also many investment companies are also optimistic about Apple, and they are also acquiring the company's shares, during this time, even if Nie Wei buys at a premium, the final acquisition is less than one million shares.

In the end, Nie Wei also gave up, at present, he still can't fight those big consortia with strong financial resources, and with the end of the first wave of sell-offs, the remaining retail investors are more convinced that Apple shares will rise again, and there are fewer and fewer retail stocks on the market, and it is really worth the loss to spend energy on this stock.

And Nie Wei, who is familiar with the future, knows that he still has a chance, so he is not in a hurry at this time.

However, this time, the crazy rise in Apple's stock has also doubled Nie Wei's worth, not counting Nie Wei's hidden wealth, the assets he exposed alone have exceeded five billion US dollars.

If nothing else, in the Forbes list of the world's richest people at the end of the year, Nie Wei can be ranked in the top 200, and in the mainland, his wealth can even rank in the top five.

Apple's stock has come to an end, and there is one more important thing for Nie Wei, that is, the Golden Bell Award for Treasure Island.

After nearly a month of judging, the review of the Treasure Island Golden Bell Award has also been carried out twice, and the final shortlist will be announced after the third review is over.

"Fated I Love You" has a total of ten awards, including the Best Drama Program Award, Best Director, Best Drama Actor, Best Drama Actress, etc., according to Nie Wei's prediction, this is an award, at least more than eight awards should be able to enter the final shortlist.

Huayi and Zhongtiantai have begun to build momentum for the artists and workers shortlisted for "Fated I Love You", which is also a pressure on the organizing committee of the Golden Bell Awards, because over the years, this Golden Bell Award has been prejudiced against idol dramas.

For so many years, no idol drama actor or actress has ever lifted the trophy at this award ceremony.

If the results of "Fated I Love You" are just average, it would be fine, but the results of this non-idol drama are too dazzling, so dazzling that more than 90% of the people in the entire treasure island knew about this non-idol drama during that time, and it can be said that it was really popular all over the island.

In this case, she couldn't help but let Huayi and Zhongtiantai have more ideas, especially Chen Qiaoen, she never thought that one day, the honor of the queen would be so close to her, although the final shortlist has not yet been announced, but those bookmakers on the treasure island have already included Chen Qiaoen in the list.
