Under the urging of AB coquettishly, Huang Xiaoming hurriedly took out his mobile phone and skillfully found Nie Wei's phone number.

It's just that the phone went out, and it was through, but it rang for a minute until the system automatically hung up and no one answered.

"Are you busy?" AB wondered.

Although she really wanted to promote this treat, it would be worth the loss to disturb Nie Wei's work because she was too anxious, and that would undoubtedly lose some of her impression points.

"I'll give Luo Kai a call and ask. Huang Xiaoming thought about it and decided to call Luo Kai first.

In fact, he should have called Luo Kai first, after all, Nie Wei was so busy all day, and many times the mobile phone was not around, but just now, in order to show off his close relationship with Nie Wei in front of his girlfriend, Huang Xiaoming chose to make a private call directly to Nie Wei, but he didn't expect the call to fail.

Hearing AB's words at this moment, he finally decided to call Luo Kai honestly, and this time the phone was answered very openly.

"Xiao Ming, are you calling Nie Wei, he's busy, if you don't have anything urgent, just wait a while and call again." As soon as the phone was connected, Luo Kai said directly as if he had mind reading skills.

"Ah, that's it, I'm not in a hurry, it's just that the recent TV series results are so good, I just want to invite Nie Wei to a meal. ”

"That's it, okay, I'll help you talk after Nie Wei is busy in a while. Luo Kai agreed with a smile.

"Then trouble Brother Luo Kai, goodbye. ”

Hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaoming looked at AB who looked expectant on the side, and explained: "Luo Kai said that Nie Wei was busy with work, but I asked Luo Kai to take the talk, now let's wait for the news." ”

"Oh, well. The lack of an immediate definitive answer left AB a little disappointed, but soon her attention drifted elsewhere.

While the two were sitting on the sofa watching TV, AB suddenly asked Huang Xiaoming, "Uncle, what kind of work do you say Mr. Nie is talking about?" ”

"I'm not an immortal, how do I know. Huang Xiaoming replied speechlessly.

"I'm not asking you to guess, you said that Nie Wei is not talking about his new movie, hasn't his previous "The Martian" been filmed, he must be talking about a new movie, right?" AB himself began to guess first, but what he said made Huang Xiaoming cry and laugh.

"What do you think, Nie Wei has just finished a movie, how can he start a new movie so quickly, he is not the kind of desperate Saburo, on the contrary, he is the kind of person who is very good at arranging working hours, and now that he has just made a movie, I think he will have to rest for at least two months. ”

"Ahh After listening to Huang Xiaoming's explanation, AB showed a lost expression, and when the former saw this, he immediately patted AB's head and said, "Don't daydream, even if Nie Wei has a new movie, it's not something you can worry about." ”

"Why, what if Nie Wei takes a fancy to me, and besides, don't I still have you?"

Huang Xiaoming looked at AB's aggrieved appearance, and felt that what he said just now might be a little too direct, so he hurriedly explained: "Nie Wei now has hundreds of millions of dollars in investment and production for a movie, and the unit is still in US dollars, even if I have little chance of auditioning for the leading actor, it is even more impossible for you." ”

"Don't look at your competitors anymore, you have to know how many first-line actresses in the company are eyeing Nie Wei's movies now, not counting those actresses outside, Zhang Ziyi, do you know, I have mentioned to the media more than once that I want to cooperate with Nie Wei. ”

"The most important thing for you now is to take the acting class arranged by the company for you, strive to be recognized by the acting teacher, and then honestly play the role arranged by the company for you, accumulate fame and experience, and maybe you will have a chance to act in Nie Wei's movies in the future. ”

Faced with her boyfriend's bitter persuasion, AB looked obedient and nodded in agreement: "I know, I didn't think I could play the heroine, I just thought that if I had the opportunity, even if I played a small supporting role." ”

Huang Xiaoming just laughed at this and didn't say anything, but he still felt a little whimsical about the girl's thoughts, thinking that she thought too much about the supporting roles in Nie Wei's movie.

You must know that in the original "League of Assassins", Jiang Xin played the role of the female president at the beginning, I don't know how many people are competing, AB, a young actor who has no fame and no acting skills, why did he get Nie Wei's favor?

Obviously, the latter two are useless, at least Huang Xiaoming knows that it is impossible for her boyfriend to help her win any role in Nie Wei's movie, and it is impossible for the company to allow anyone to sell favors and stuff people in that kind of movie with big investment.

At this moment, Nie Wei is meeting an old friend in his office, who is the actor when Nie Wei directed his first movie, Xu Zheng.

"Teacher Xu, drink tea. Nie Wei soaked a cup of Tieguanyin for Xu Zheng, who quickly got up and thanked him.

After taking a sip of Tieguanyin's meaning, Xu Zheng didn't have time to taste the taste of tea, so he hurriedly put down the teacup and told Nie Wei the reason why he came today.

"Mr. Nie, I'm here today to ask for your help. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"I was looking for you to invest in the film. Xu Zheng subconsciously turned the teacup on the table with both hands, and said: "Mr. Nie, I have a very mature film plan, and I have already brought the plan, can you give me a look, you can tell you while watching me." ”

"Teacher Xu, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Nie Wei. Nie Wei took the plan handed over by Xu Zheng, and when he saw the words 'people are embarrassed (Thailand) on the skin, he immediately knew that he had guessed correctly.

Although the filming time of this movie is much earlier than I remember, Nie Wei is not surprised, after all, it takes a long time for a movie to be planned and prepared, especially if Xu Zheng is a personal initiator, this process will inevitably take a lot longer.

"Is this movie the same series as "People in Embarrassment"? I have seen that movie, and it is very good. Nie Wei asked while praising Xu Zheng's movie.

Xu Zheng shook his head and replied: "It basically has nothing to do with "People in Embarrassment", this is a brand new movie, both the background and the character design have nothing to do with "People in Embarrassment", but the two movies also have the same place, that is, the story takes place during the journey, so I continue to use the words "People in Embarrassment" as the title." ”

"Well, that's right, you drink tea, I'll take a look first. ”

"Okay, if you have any doubts, ask me directly, and I'll answer them for you. Seeing Nie Wei's original intention to flip through his plan, Xu Zheng was obviously a little excited.

Huayi is already the fifth company he has run, and he doesn't want to think about the previous harvest at all now, those guys, either they are not willing to pay at all, or they can pay, but they put forward a bunch of harsh conditions, which is a completely unequal contract.

And these experiences also made Xu Zheng, who was originally full of fighting spirit, finally realize how difficult it is for him to be a director, which has not yet involved actual filming, and even the crew has not been formally formed, just investing in this piece has already made him lose sleep, fortunately, he has a bald hairstyle, but he doesn't have to worry about hair loss.

After realizing the difficulties, he finally thought of Nie Wei and decided to use the precious love he had saved when he cooperated to seek this investment.

Knowing how important this opportunity was to him, Xu Zheng even prepared for this at home for a week, improving the previous plan more progressively, and also preparing many sets of rhetoric to face Nie Wei's various possible attitudes.

Xu Zheng didn't have much heart to drink tea, holding a somewhat hot teacup, his eyes were always focused on Nie Wei.

And Nie Wei kept his head down, carefully reading the plan made by Xu Zheng, turning the page every once in a while, and occasionally pausing for a while at certain points, which would make Xu Zheng extremely nervous, and he couldn't wait to run to Nie Wei's side to see which one made Nie Wei frown, so he hurriedly explained.

Of course, in the end, he still restrained his impulsive thoughts, after all, Nie Wei didn't speak, and he didn't take the initiative to run to disturb the other party.

After about twenty minutes, Nie Wei raised his head after reading the last page.

"Mr. Xu, when will you be able to come up with the complete script?" Nie Wei asked.

This sound to Xu Zheng is simply a natural sound, Nie Wei originally intended to read the script, obviously interested, and under the joy, he immediately took out a thick pile of A4 paper from his bag and handed it to Nie Wei.

"This is the first version of the script of Thai Embarrassment, Mr. Nie has seen it. ”

"It seems that Mr. Xu is really prepared, so put this script here first, and I will take the time to read it as soon as possible. Nie Wei looked at the bound script, obviously he couldn't finish it for a while, so he said to Xu Zheng.

"Yes, you can. Of course Xu Zheng won't have any opinions, Nie Weiken will see that it is already good news for him.

"Let's put the script aside. Nie Wei didn't rush to read the script after getting it, but continued to ask Xu Zheng: "I read the plan just now, do you think that the investment you need for this movie is 50 million, but the allocation of your funds in the plan is too simple, can you talk to me in detail about how you want to spend this money if you get 50 million?"

Hearing Nie Wei mention the matter of money, Xu Zheng immediately cheered up, carefully considered the words, and answered Nie Wei's question seriously.

"The figure I put forward includes the production fee and publicity fee, and the production fee accounts for about 30 million, because if you want to shoot abroad, the crew consumption will be higher than that in China, but I will try my best to save, and the rest of the publicity fee ......"

Xu Zheng almost wanted to tell Nie Wei how to use each piece of the 50 million budget, and he talked for half an hour before he could barely finish explaining.

Nie Wei nodded, he could hear that Xu Zheng did not shout out this number randomly, but actually made a plan, and what he said was basically the same as the distribution in the plan, but it was more detailed, rather than the simple sets of numbers and logos on the plan.

"What about the cast?" Nie Wei continued.

"I want to play the male number one myself, as for the remaining two male protagonists, I still need your help from Mr. Nie, I like your Huayi actors. Xu Zheng said with a smile.

"Don't say it yet, let me guess, is it Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo?" Nie Wei stopped Xu Zheng from talking, but 'guessed' by himself.

Hearing the two names Nie Wei said, Xu Zheng's eyes obviously widened for a moment, because what Nie Wei said was all right, and he really wanted to ask Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo to act in this movie together.

"I guessed right on your face. ”

"That's right, it's the two of them, how did you guess it?" Xu Zheng asked curiously.

"Needless to say, Wang Baoqiang has already cooperated with you in "People in Embarrassment", I think you have a good match, and there is a cake shop owner in your plan who has been with you, I think it is a tailor-made role for Wang Baoqiang. ”

"Yes, you're right, this role is tailor-made by me for Brother Baoqiang, but I also made a little change to make this character a little shrewd in his honesty, although he has a long bag, but it can also play a great role in critical moments, and I even think this is the most brilliant role in the whole movie. ”

"I think so too, Mr. Xu, you are really good to Baoqiang. Nie Wei said.

A movie, sometimes it is really not the most brilliant male and female protagonists, although the core role of this movie is Xu Lang played by Xu Zheng, and the whole movie is also revolving around Xu Lang, and Wang Baobao played by Wang Baoqiang is more like a spoiler who is inserted.

However, in terms of the distinctiveness of the role, there is no doubt that Wang Baobao is the most outstanding, because he is the point of creation of conflicts in the whole movie, and all conflicts are related to this character, which is naturally the most able to mobilize the audience's emotions.

What's more, this character itself has a kind of positive energy, a character with perseverance and a bottom line in his heart, coupled with the interweaving of honesty and shrewdness, this character must be very popular with the audience.

This has been proven in the original time and space, after the broadcast of this movie, the most popular is Wang Baoqiang, followed by Gao Bo played by Huang Bo, and finally Xu Zheng, the real male number one.

Then Nie Wei explained the reason for guessing Huang Bo, in fact, Xu Zheng's mind is really easy to guess, it may be the first time to be a director, so the actors in his photo have basically cooperated, such as Wang Baoqiang, they have worked together in "People in Embarrassment".

And Huang Bo cooperated in "Crazy Stone" at the beginning.

"And the names of your characters, Wang Baobao and Gao Bo, it's really hard for me to guess. In the end, Nie Wei didn't forget to complain about Xu's ability to fight for fame, which was really straightforward enough.

Xu Zheng smiled embarrassedly when he heard it, he recognized Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo when he first wrote the role, so he was lazy when naming the character, just like his own character.

The two chatted for two hours, Nie Wei asked a lot of questions, Xu Zheng gave answers one by one, some of which could not be answered, and he did not hide it, saying that he would go back and figure it out and then tell Nie Wei.

Nie Wei finally finished asking all the questions he should ask, looked at the time again, and took the initiative to say: "Then let's talk about this today, Mr. Xu, I will give you the answer within a week, and how much investment do you expect to accept? Now you can give me an approximate value, and we can evaluate it." ”

"Thirty million, divided according to the percentage of the total investment. Xu Zheng knew that this was not the time to be polite, so he immediately said the answer in his heart.

"Okay, you go back and wait for news, I won't invite you to dinner, I will read the script as soon as possible. ”

Within two minutes of Xu Zheng walking out of the room, Luo Kai walked into Nie Wei's office and brought Huang Xiaoming's invitation.
