701. Unexpected visitors
Far away in Hong Kong, in the screening room of a certain movie, seven or eight people gathered here to enjoy a movie, officially "Lonely Agent" filmed by Nie Wei.
Among these people, the most obvious is a man with glasses, no matter how exciting the fight in the movie, how bloody or terrifying the process is, his expression has not changed at all, only at some point in time, he will suddenly ask someone to pause the film, and then ask a little old man who looks fifty or sixty years old next to him.
"Did he use Baguazhang just now?"
"That's right, this is the splitting palm of the Baguazhang, they all say that the shape is like a gun, and the gossip is like a knife, this Baguazhang was originally taken from the knife technique, so you look at the splitting palm is sharp and fast, like it looks like a knife is chopping down?"
"It's true that you say that, then I think he seems to be particular about his footwork, you tell me about it. ”
"This is the mud step of the foundation of Baguazhang, the body of Bagua requires walking like a swimming dragon, flipping like an eagle, what is particular is the pendulum and buckle, play it back, you look carefully at his pace, isn't it?"
"Really, eh, is this also Bagua?"
"It's not gossip, it's Xingyi's cannon fist, good guy, it's really good. Seeing Nie Weixun's thunderous cannon punch flying the enemy on the screen, the little old man couldn't help but applaud loudly.
The two-hour movie finally came to an end after a pause.
The middle-aged man with glasses asked the little old man on the side again, "What do you think of his skills?"
"I can't say that. The little old man who usually opens his mouth to comment, but at this moment he suddenly waved his hand, indicating that he had no way to evaluate.
"Why can't you say it?" The middle-aged man quit, didn't he come to you to listen to your advice?
The little old man smiled bitterly and explained, "I said I can't because he has a lot of ability. ”
"How big?" Hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly asked.
"It's hard to say if I haven't really seen it, but judging from the posture in the movie, at least it was a national-level martial arts athlete like Lian Jie at the beginning, and he was really beautiful. Saying this, the little old man couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this Nie Wei was also genius enough, he could not only do business, but also act, and his martial arts were so good.
"So, right to find him?" The middle-aged man looked at Nie Wei on the screen, his eyes becoming more and more satisfied.
But when the little old man on the side heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but remind him: "Director Wang, it's not that I'm talkative, do you think he will promise you with his current achievements?"
"Why not, as long as he agrees, I promise to take him to the Oscars. The middle-aged man replied confidently.
Oscar, the name is indeed very similar, but does the other party really care? The little old man is not sure, let alone ......
The little old man smiled bitterly and sighed, "But you let him play the villain." ”
"What's wrong with the villain, the villain only tests his acting skills, and the villain has room to play, and he hasn't played a villain before, don't persuade me, help me send an invitation to Nie Wei. The middle-aged man made his own decision, and no one at the scene raised any more objections.
Seeing that no one objected, the middle-aged man picked up the sunglasses on the table and put them on, and left the screening room directly, leaving the few people who looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.
Indeed, as the middle-aged man said, Nie Wei has played the villain, and that role is still the key to Nie Wei's real popularity, but although Nie Wei was very popular at that time, he was still just a newcomer in the film industry, but now it is different, Nie Wei is a man who has won the Golden Horse Best Actor, and several movies he has shot have achieved very excellent box office data.
It can be said that in the Asian film industry today, Nie Wei, who is both a director and an actor, is already standing at the top of the pyramid, and all the people who are as famous as him are some big names who shout out.
"Ask the staff to send it, Director Wang is so famous, I believe there will be good results." In the end, it was a middle-aged man with a garlic nose who spoke.
However, the middle-aged man's words did not get much response, so people were actually not very optimistic about Nie Wei's invitation this time.
At this moment, Nie Wei didn't know that he had been photographed by a big director, and he still wanted to play a villain role, he was inspecting his own department store at this time.
Fanxing Department Store has now become a very important part of Nie Wei's business, with a net profit of nearly one billion yuan in the spring and summer quarters, and if nothing else, it will bring Nie Wei two billion Huaxia dollars in a year, which is already quite a considerable data.
Star Department Store can get such good results, one is Nie Wei is well-managed, Star Department Store has many unique characteristics, which undoubtedly attracts a lot of high-quality customers, and because the high-end service is very good, the adhesion to customers is also very good, at present, Star Department Store has attracted tens of thousands of members worth more than one million to join the Star Club, and there are some billionaires.
In addition, the location of the Star Department Store is also very good.
It is located near the city center, and because it is located on the road where the main Olympic stadium must pass, this area is definitely one of the most prosperous areas in Kyoto.
The Star Department Store is undoubtedly the iconic commercial building in this prosperous area, attracting countless passers-by to enter this big shopping mall.
Nie Wei is very satisfied with the development of Fanxing Department Store, although he is only 35 years old, his hand-picked general manager He Sheng is only 35 years old, but he has both passion and steady, and he is comprehensive in all aspects, and manages a large shopping mall in an orderly manner.
Before leaving the mall, Nie Wei deliberately promised He Sheng that as long as he completed the goal he set by the end of the year, he would reward He Sheng with shares in the mall.
In Nie Wei's view, such a talent is to be tied to his chariot, and it is most appropriate to tie him up with shares, after all, he has shares, there will be a change in mentality, and he will change from a part-time worker to a shopping mall owner, and he will naturally do his best to do things.
And Nie Wei seems to have paid a little bit of equity, but if He Sheng can do better, then this little bit of equity will actually bring Nie Wei a thousandfold return.
Out of the mall, Nie Wei got into a business Mercedes-Benz, and Luo Kai, who was driving in the front row, immediately asked him where to go next.
"Go home. With a command, Nie Wei closed his eyes and prepared to pretend to sleep, but before he could find the feeling of sleepiness, the mobile phone suddenly rang, making him sober up instantly.
"Brother Zhonglei, what's the matter?" Nie Wei took out the phone and saw that it was Wang Zhonglei, so he connected directly.
"I'll tell you something, there's a script I want you to play. Wang Zhonglei said.
Nie Wei frowned at first, Wang Zhonglei specially called himself for a script, this is very wrong, Nie Wei thought in an instant, it must be a problem with the script, so he asked: "What script, is it very special?"
"Wang Jiawei's new movie. Wang Zhonglei replied, hearing this answer, Nie Wei also secretly said in his heart.
In the Chinese film industry, there are several directors whose works are definitely coveted by actors, such as Li Yu, Wu Yusen, and Wang Jiawei, because their movies will not only bring fame to actors, but also bring countless honors.
This is also the reason why after receiving Wang Jiawei's movie, Wang Zhonglei will specially call Nie Wei.
"What theme?" Nie Wei was very curious, Wang Jiawei saw what advantages he had, and he took the initiative to invite himself to act.
"Martial arts. Wang Zhonglei replied, but after finishing speaking, he was a little speechless, because he had already read the characters written on this invitation and the outline attached to it, this Wang Jiawei actually wanted to ask Nie Wei to play a villain, isn't it a joke?
After thinking about it, Wang Zhonglei still told Nie Wei frankly about it.
"Villain? It's not impossible, but I'll wait until I've read the script for a year. Nie Wei was not surprised to hear that Wang Jiawei was going to find himself to make a martial arts movie, but finding himself to play a villain made Nie Wei stunned for a moment, but Nie Wei was only a little surprised, and quickly came back to his senses and decided to read the script.
As for the villain, Nie Wei didn't resist, on the contrary, if it was really that kind of charismatic villain, Nie Wei would be very willing to play it, just like he didn't reject Ah Wei's role for a reason.
Soon, Nie Wei came to the company, and after letting Luo Kai move freely, Nie Wei went straight to Wang Zhonglei's office.
When I entered the office, I saw Wang Zhonglei sitting there holding a document and reading it, and when he saw Nie Wei enter the room, he directly closed the folder in his hand, took out a thick stack of A4 paper from the desk and handed it to Nie Wei.
"That's all for the official script, the role they want you to play is called Ma San, the villain in the film, I just looked at the ending, it seems to be quite miserable. ”
"I'll take it back and read it, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Nie Wei took the script and didn't read it immediately, but put it away and prepared to go home and read it patiently.
Wang Zhonglei nodded and instructed: "Although it is Wang Jiawei's movie, if the role will affect your image, just refuse, I will come forward when the refusal comes, you are still young, and you will have the opportunity to cooperate with a big director in the future." ”
Wang Zhonglei is obviously not very optimistic about this cooperation, although it is Wang Jiawei's movie, but after all, he is not the protagonist, and he is also a big villain, although Nie Wei once became popular in "New Police Story" because of the experimental villain, but that kind of character is already very lucky once successful, who dares to expect that this time it will be so lucky?
When Nie Wei returned home, Shu Chang was doing yoga, and when he saw Nie Wei coming back, he hurriedly put away his posture.
"Didn't you say you'd be back in a while? Why did you delay for so long? Shu Chang took Nie Wei's coat and asked, it turned out that Nie Wei had sent a text message to Shu Chang when she just left the mall, telling her to get home immediately, but she didn't expect Wang Zhonglei to call.
"I went to the company and had a special script. Nie Wei handed the script in his hand to Shu Chang and explained.
"The Grandmaster?" Shu Chang took the script, looked at the text on the cover and read it, and soon she let out an exclamation, because she saw the name marked on the director of the cover of the script.
"A movie directed by Wang Jiawei?"
"That's right. ”
"Looking for you to play the leading role?" Shu Chang asked excitedly, while opening the script, he found that the protagonist was a forty-year-old uncle, and suddenly became a little puzzled: "What should you do at this age? ”
"Not this character. Nie Wei pointed to the first page of the character to introduce the last role, and said, "This, this is the role that I am invited to play." ”
"Ma San?" Shu Chang was surprised that Nie Wei was not the protagonist, and was very surprised, but he still wondered if this character was particularly outstanding, but after reading the character introduction, he found that this was actually a big villain, and he was a little angry.
"Don't act, what, this is simply looking down on you. Shu Chang said unevenly, in her opinion, even if Nie Wei can't play the leading role, at least he should play the second male lead, what is an anti-number one, is it insulting?
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, maybe Director Wang just thinks I'm suitable, and I haven't agreed yet, I also have to read the script carefully, if this role is really outstanding, I'll take it again, if not, I'll listen to you and push it away, okay?" Nie Wei hugged the angry Shuchang, and explained while stroking her hair, smoothing her hair when she was angry.
"Then let's watch together. Shu Chang was coaxed by Nie Wei and was not angry, but she also asked to read the script together, she felt that she could also help Nie Wei and give her own suggestions in terms of distinguishing whether the role was good or not.
Nie Wei naturally would not refuse this.
The script is a complete version, and from this point Nie Wei can see that Wang Jiawei really wants to invite himself, otherwise he would not be so formal and send the entire script over.
casually For the script, Nie Wei also read it very seriously.
In Nie Wei's opinion, the role of Ma San is indeed very bad, not only killed his master, but also rebelled against the countrymen for the sake of profit, but in the same way, this is also a bad and charming person, he has strength, ambition, and more means and ruthlessness, in the final analysis, he is an unscrupulous careerist, and finally died under his own inflated ambition.
But as for whether to take on this role, Nie Wei was a little hesitant at the time, but she was comfortable, and felt that Nie Wei still pushed it away, in her opinion, this kind of role of betraying the motherland is really unpleasant.
And Nie Wei has been busy again in the past two days because of the problem of foreign investment, and the script has been thrown away, and he is going to wait for this busy period to pick it up and read it carefully before making a decision.
And this hesitation, a week passed.
Nie Wei didn't reply for a long time, but Wang Jiawei, who was waiting in Hong Kong, was anxious, although this is a villain, but in Wang Jiawei's eyes, this role is very important to the movie and is an indispensable part, and he is a director who strives for excellence, so he naturally wants to choose the best actor to play.
Nie Wei is the first choice in his mind, and before Nie Wei explicitly rejected this role, Director Wang recognized him.
The next morning, Wang Zhonglei suddenly received a phone call, a few seconds later, his face changed instantly, after hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed Nie Wei's phone number, the moment the phone was connected, Wang Zhonglei didn't care about greeting, and said directly: "Wang Jiawei came to Kyoto, coming for you." ”
