696. Gifts from the United States
Wang Zhonglei's gaze stayed on Nie Wei for a little longer, and he was subconsciously perceived by Nie Wei.
"What are you doing with me, does it have anything to do with me?" Nie Wei raised his head, just in time to meet Wang Zhonglei's gaze, and immediately asked curiously.
"Really. Wang Zhonglei shook the document in his hand, didn't say what it was, and handed it directly to Nie Wei.
The result document, Nie Wei couldn't help but smile at the first glance, it turned out that this was an invitation from the Spring Festival Gala, and the object of the invitation was himself.
"Think about it?" asked Wang Zhonglei.
"Yes, yes, but you ask the program team, can you bring one more person, how boring it is for me to sing alone, after all, I have sung at the party in Hong Kong, this time playing with two people singing together, is also a novelty, right?" Nie Wei nodded after thinking about it for a while, but at the same time put forward his own ideas.
Wang Zhonglei understood as soon as he heard it, the program team of the Spring Festival Gala should not refuse this kind of thing, anyway, they all come out with a song, one person sings and two people sing the same, the key is to ask Nie Wei to sing it as he wants, and everything else is not a problem.
However, it is not easy to choose a partner for Nie Wei, although Nie Wei is not a professional singer, he must also find someone who can match his identity and status, at least he is a first-line singer.
"Alan has received an invitation to this year's Spring Festival Gala and has guaranteed a solo seat, do you want to try it with Liangying?" asked Wang Zhonglei.
If you want to choose a singer who is combined with Nie Wei, you naturally have to choose from your own family first, and Huayi Records can be regarded as a first-line singer now, and there are only Alan and Zhang Liangying, if Alan did not participate in the Spring Festival Gala, she must be the first choice, but now Alan received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala half a month ago, obviously he can't give up a good opportunity to sing solo because he cooperated with Nie Wei, but Zhang Liangying did not receive an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala, and there is a possibility of matching.
"I was originally going to choose Liangying, but Alain's singing style is not suitable for this song. Nie Wei replied.
The lyrics of this song mainly express the attachment and love of overseas travelers to the motherland, because it is very suitable for the theme of Hong Kong's return to the embrace of the motherland, so Nie Wei sang this song at the original return to the 10th anniversary party.
But what Nie Wei didn't expect was that the Spring Festival Gala invited him again, and he sang this song.
And this kind of song with the main theme, there is no doubt that Zhang Liangying, who has a more atmospheric voice, is more suitable, so from the very beginning, the first choice that popped up in Nie Wei's mind was Zhang Liangying, and there was only Zhang Liangying.
"Then it's finalized, I'll go and discuss it with the program team first, and Liangying will notify you when everything is finalized. After Wang Zhonglei heard Nie Wei's answer, he immediately said with a smile.
For Chinese people, no matter how big your star is, it is also a very glorious thing to go to the Spring Festival Gala, especially in the north, the influence of the Spring Festival Gala is really the most in the country.
"By the way, is the director of this year's Spring Festival Gala still Luculent?" Nie Wei suddenly thought of something, so he asked Wang Zhonglei directly.
Hearing Nie Wei's question, Wang Zhonglei shook his head directly and replied: "It's not Director Lang, there is a director surnamed Jin this year." ”
Nie Wei nodded and didn't ask any further.
Luculent was not surprised by his resignation, in fact, Luculent had been re-elected for one more Spring Festival Gala than the original time and space, and completed three consecutive terms, which was the second chief director of the Spring Festival Gala who could be re-elected for three consecutive terms after nearly 20 years after Huang Yihe, the founding director of the Spring Festival Gala.
And the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is not destined to be indefinitely re-elected by a director, and Luculent has done a good job for three consecutive terms.
In the past, Luculent took great care of Huayi because of the favor of Nie Wei, and Huayi would stuff one or two newcomers to the Spring Festival Gala every year to gild, which also opened the door for Luculent to be convenient.
But now that there is a new director, this convenience is gone, although it does not affect the company's big-name artists, but for those newcomers, there is undoubtedly a good place to gild.
"I'll go to Director Lang for dinner in two days. After thinking about it, Nie Wei suddenly spoke.
Wang Zhonglei was stunned for a moment, then understood what Nie Wei meant, and said with a smile: "Please take it, the company will reimburse you when the time comes." ”
Nie Wei's meaning couldn't be more obvious, you can't cut off contact with Luculent just because he is not the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, the network is not easy to establish, but it needs to be maintained constantly, and even if Luculent is not the chief director, his status in Huaxia TV cannot be ignored, and he is a character that Huayi must befriend.
Nie Wei left the company and returned directly to the courtyard.
What is rare is that Zhou Aiguo didn't go to work at home today, and Nie Wei only asked to know that he had deliberately taken three days off and was going to take Zhou Duoduo to the nearby Xiangshan to play.
"Let's leave tomorrow, do you want to go with you?" Zhou Aiguo asked Xiang Nie Wei.
"You won't be able to have fun if I go. Nie Wei smiled bitterly and replied, Zhou Aiguo was stunned, and then he also smiled bitterly.
Being a star is indeed glamorous and sought after by tens of thousands of people, but it is difficult for ordinary people to enjoy their lives, which is why so many artists always want to go abroad for vacation, not that they are not patriotic, but only abroad can they enjoy a rare ordinary life.
"Why don't we go abroad for the New Year this year, how about Jeju Island, where the resorts are already very well built. Zhou Aiguo suggested.
Nie Wei was indeed a little moved when he heard it, but soon remembered that he had just agreed to the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala, so he had to shake his head helplessly and explain to Zhou Aiguo.
"Well, you're busier than I am. After listening to Nie Wei's explanation, Zhou Aiguo couldn't help but say.
Nie Wei is also very helpless, he is actually already trying to minimize his activities, otherwise with his current popularity, I am afraid that he will be able to schedule his work until next year.
And he still has his companies to take care of, especially the star blog platform, which is currently about to face the transformation of ei bo, and then is ready to go public, he must keep an eye on every step, if it succeeds, it will take off for Nie Wei's technology companies in an instant, but if it fails, it will be a considerable blow.
In addition, Nie Wei's cinema chain is currently expanding rapidly, although Nie Wei is not more responsible for specific affairs in person, but he is also responsible for controlling the overall situation, and because there are twenty cinemas starting at the same time, there will always be some accidents, and the person in charge below must report to Nie Wei every day.
Fortunately, he doesn't need to sit in the office, he usually stays at home to deal with work and work every day, so that he can spend more time with his family.
Shu Chang also chose to rest during the time when Nie Wei was at home, and now she has less and less ambition for her acting career, in her heart, accompanying Nie Wei is far more important than a movie queen, and the two have less time to get along because of their work, so she cherishes the time they can spend together.
"Eat apples. Shu Chang put the small cut apple in Nie Wei's hand, then glanced at the screen curiously, and then unconsciously puffed out his cheeks.
"Look at what. Shu Chang asked in a slightly angry tone, because Nie Wei's computer screen was full of little girls, all of whom looked like high school students, and some were even younger.
Nie Wei knew that she had misunderstood by looking at Shu Chang's expression, and quickly explained with a smile: "Have you forgotten that I acquired some shares of an entertainment company in Japan, and this is the combination they launched AKB48." ”
"I think I've heard of this name. Shu Chang frowned slightly, thought for a while, and seemed to have the impression of this combination in his memory.
The reason why Nie Wei paid attention to this group again was because the release of the group's new single half a month ago was very unsatisfactory, and even set a new low in the number of singles sold in the history of this group, which made AKB48, which became popular for a year because of Nie Wei's two title songs, suffer Waterloo.
also let the complacent autumn fat man be poured a basin of cold water.
In the past year, Qiu Fatzi, who has always prevented Nie Wei from meddling in the affairs of the combination, took the initiative to send Nie Wei an email for help for the first time.
It stands to reason that Nie Wei should take this opportunity to clean up this autumn fat man, but Nie Wei was not very interested in AKB48 originally, and he only thought that their development potential was good and it was a good deal, so Qiu Fatzi's thousands of defenses over the past year were actually defending the air.
However, Nie Wei can't let Qiu Fat take advantage of it, since the other party took the initiative to send it to the door, Nie Wei naturally wanted to knock him well.
It's no problem to write songs, Nie Wei can come up with high-quality group songs now, but in the same way, the personal contracts of some popular members of the group, Nie Wei will not let Qiu Fat interfere anymore, but hand it over to his own record company in Japan to take care of, not to seize power, purely to disgust this fat man.
But Qiu Fat Man must also pinch his nose to admit it, who makes all the senior executives of the head office unanimously feel that only Nie Wei is the best person to save this combination, although it is the combination he founded, but in front of capital, Qiu Fat Man must also bow his head, which is why he guards against Nie Wei, from his point of view, he needs money from a capitalist like Nie Wei, but he can't give complete trust.
So on the one hand, he wanted to show his respect for every high-level executive, put on a humble attitude, and at the same time guard against Nie Wei and these people, for fear that they would be kicked out if they didn't pay attention.
"You are so intrigued, and it is these children who suffer. After listening to Nie Wei's explanation, Shu Chang couldn't help but feel uneasy, in Shu Chang's opinion, the high-level struggle ultimately affects the artist, and a stable company can give the artist a real and stable development, just like Huayi, before in the period of Wang Jinghua and the Wang brothers, how many artists were affected, and Nie Wei even almost lost his role because of this.
The departure of Wang Jinghua and the strong rise of Nie Wei brought a precious period of stability to Huayi, and it was from this time that Huayi entered a period of development, and in just a few years, it has become the largest private entertainment company in China.
"The composition of this company is too complex, and I only own a part of the shares. Nie Wei said helplessly.
"Baby, you're mistaken. Shu Chang hugged him with a smile when he saw Nie Wei like this, and explained: "I'm just just feeling emotional, you don't have to do anything, just develop according to your ideas, what I have to do is take care of your body." With that, Shu Chang inserted a piece of apple with a toothpick and fed it to Nie Wei's mouth.
Just as the two were showing their affection, the doorbell of the apartment suddenly rang.
"Let's go see who it is?"
"It's a courier, or it's from the United States. ”
"Courier, call him at the door. ”
"Baby, this is it. After a while, Shu Chang waited for the courier to leave and immediately opened the door and brought the courier in, while reporting to Nie Wei, who had already come to the door.
"Sure enough, it should be a great thing in it. Nie Wei looked at the shipping address on the courier box and said with a smile, when he heard the express delivery from the United States just now, he thought about it in his heart and counted it, and the only gift that could be sent from the United States at this time was that thing.
"What is it?" Shu Chang became even more curious when he heard Nie Wei's words.
Nie Wei didn't answer, but directly opened the express box, I have to say that unpacking the express is indeed a pleasant thing, not only the person who opened it was happy, but even the comfort who watched it from the side was full of expectations.
After a while, the box was disassembled, and Nie Wei took out two exquisitely packaged boxes and an envelope from inside.
"It's... Mobile phone?" Shu Chang picked up the box, looked at the English on it, and said as he read it.
"That's right, take it apart and take a look, this is the first generation of a future cross-era product. Nie Wei was not curious about the phone, but more curious about the content of the letter in his hand.
On the contrary, it is Shu Chang on the side, who is more curious about the mobile phone in this box.
These two boxes are actually the generation of smartphones Aphone, which is also the beginning of Apple's rise, which has not yet been officially released in the world, but it is also soon, about a week or so, this legendary mobile phone series will start its first step to change the mobile phone market.
The only pity is that this generation of mobile phones will not be sold in Huaxia, on the one hand, Huaxia mobile phones are now occupied by the rest of the major brands of mobile phones, Apple has almost no sales market here, and secondly, Apple's current confidence is still insufficient, and when it gradually succeeds, the ambition will become bigger.
Shu Chang has disassembled the mobile phone here, the small Aphone has been completely controlled by her, this generation of Aphone is really small, it is a little higher than the normal cigarette box, and it is far less light and thin than the future mobile phone, but compared with the mobile phone of this era, it is so exquisite.
But the most surprising thing for Shu Chang is that this mobile phone does not have digital buttons, is this really a mobile phone?
Shu Chang took the mobile phone and ran to Nie Wei for help, when Nie Wei lit up the 3.5-inch full-touch screen of the Aphone generation through the power button, Shu Chang's eyes were full of surprise, as if the door of a new world was opening to her.
