Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Nie Wei talked for two hours, and Huang Xiaoming and AB waited for two hours. At first, they were quite patient, but the longer they waited, the more impatient they became, wondering why Nie Wei hadn't called back.

However, as time went on, impatience gradually turned into negativity. When Nie Wei finally called, they almost fell asleep on the sofa.

However, the moment the phone rang, they immediately woke up from their daze.

"It's Nie Wei's call." Huang Xiaoming picked up his phone and took a look, then happily reported to AB beside him.

"Hurry up and answer it." AB urged excitedly.

Without AB's urging, Huang Xiaoming had already pressed the call button. Hearing Nie Wei's greetings, Huang Xiaoming happily responded and directly told Nie Wei the purpose of his call.

"Nirvana in Fire" is so successful, so AB and I want to invite you and Shu Chang to dinner."

"Shouldn't I invite you, the main creator, to dinner after the success of "Nirvana in Fire"? Why are you inviting me?" Nie Wei on the other end of the phone couldn't help but laugh and answered after hearing what Huang Xiaoming said.

"How can it be possible? This dinner should be my treat. If you hadn't given me the opportunity, I wouldn't have had the chance to play such a good role. It's reasonable for me to treat you."

"You can treat us, but I'll decide the place." Nie Wei didn't bother to be polite with Huang Xiaoming anymore and answered directly.

Huang Xiaoming naturally agreed to Nie Wei's request.

"In this way, we don't have to go to any restaurant outside. Just this weekend, you buy the ingredients for the barbecue, and I'll ask Liu Tao and his wife to bring a few bottles of good wine, and come to my villa to get together." Nie Wei made a suggestion.

This was mainly because the company was going to hold a celebration banquet soon. If he invited the two leading actors to a party outside at this time, the media might make up stories about him.

After Huang Xiaoming heard what Nie Wei said, he was thinking that the feeling of being valued would be different if he could have a dinner at Nie Wei's house and a dinner outside. In his opinion, it would be better to have a dinner at Nie Wei's house.

So although he still said it was troublesome, Huang Xiaoming was already very willing in his heart.

After Huang Xiaoming hung up the phone, he told AB the good news, and the latter screamed in surprise.

"Uncle, have you been to Nie Wei's villa? Is it true that the villa is worth hundreds of millions as rumored on the Internet?" Hearing that he could go to Nie Wei's villa, AB's curiosity could not be stopped, and he pestered Huang Xiaoming and asked questions non-stop.

Huang Xiaoming also took this opportunity to brag about it, and took the opportunity to get back the little face he lost when he failed to get through to Nie Wei's phone the first time. Looking at his girlfriend's admiring eyes on him, Huang Xiaoming was so proud in his heart.

Two days passed unknowingly. At Nie Wei's invitation, Huang Xiaoming, AB, and Liu Tao and his wife came to Nie Wei's villa for a dinner.

This time, they had a barbecue. There happened to be a small wooden house in Nie Wei's garden. Nie Wei built a charcoal stove in it. He thought that eating hot pot or barbecue here in winter and looking at the snow through the window must be very enjoyable.

The weather was good. It happened to snow that day. Nie Wei decided to use the equipment in this wooden house for the first time.

It is called a small wooden house, but it is actually about 30 square meters. Six people in the house will definitely not feel empty, and of course they will not feel crowded. On the contrary, because of the area, people are closer to each other and it seems very warm.

"I thought of my childhood at home. At that time, my grandparents and my parents took me. A family of five was also busy making dumplings in such a small house." Huang Xiaoming fell in love with this place after staying in the wooden house for a while. This small house reminded him of his previous home.

"Yes, the house I lived in when I was a child was even smaller than this, less than 20 square meters. My parents, my brother and sister, the five of us squeezed into a big bed. I remember that I was always squeezed from the bed to the ground because I slept on the edge of the bed." Huang Xiaoming's sigh triggered Wang Ke's memories, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The two of them were born in 1977 and 1980, and they both experienced the era when the country had not yet risen. The living environment at that time was indeed incomparable to the present.

"But this small wooden house is really cool. I will also think about building one when I go back." After Wang Ke sighed, he looked at the wooden house carefully again, and his eyes were full of love.

People who are used to living in high-rise buildings are often particularly interested in this kind of original ecological house. To describe it in one word, it is called "pastoral life", and this kind of green pastoral life is often pursued by many rich people nowadays.

The two men started chatting about the topic of wooden houses, but this annoyed the women working nearby.

Liu Tao spoke first, calling her husband: "Wang Ke, you have time to chat, can you come over and string these skewers?"

"Uncle, Nie Wei is helping, why are you still chatting there." AB also called out.

After hearing the call from their wives (girlfriends), Wang Ke and Huang Xiaoming quickly ended the topic and went to help. After all, as AB said, Nie Wei was helping there, how could they have the nerve to chat on the side, that would be too disrespectful to the owner.

In fact, Nie Wei was not busy with anything, just helping Shu Chang rinse and dry a few plates, and spent most of the rest of the time watching from the side, or handing over a few tools.

The women in the kitchen did not give Nie Wei any room to intervene.

Of course, AB is similar to Nie Wei. This woman is also not good at cooking, but she is very good at helping out. She is slightly higher than Nie Wei in the food chain in the kitchen and is in the third stage.

"Actually, I am very good at cutting vegetables." Seeing AB carefully cutting fruits, Nie Wei wanted to help.

"No, no, I will cut slowly. Brother Nie Wei, you go and supervise the uncles. I'm afraid they will be lazy again." AB smiled at Nie Wei and said.

"Okay then." Nie Wei nodded and did not insist on helping.

But in his heart, he gave AB a high score for his performance. This girl is really a person with high emotional intelligence. It has been less than an hour since she came to the villa, and she has been chatting happily with Liu Tao and Shu Chang.

You should know that the age difference between Liu Tao and Shu Chang is nine years. She can talk to these two people clearly, which shows how good this girl is at speaking.

Moreover, this girl knew how to use her advantages. When she entered the room, she called herself "Mr. Nie". Then, after several casual conversations, she slowly tested her reaction and now she has begun to call herself "Brother Nie Wei".

"Why do you call Huang Xiaoming "Uncle" but call me "Brother"? Doesn't this make me look younger than Huang Xiaoming?" Nie Wei deliberately embarrassed AB to see her reaction.

After hearing Nie Wei's words, AB's expression was flustered for a second. She might have subconsciously felt that Nie Wei was a little angry about the address, but when she saw Nie Wei smiling, she quickly regained her composure.

"Brother Nie Wei, you are joking. You are not relatives, so why talk about seniority? Uncle is because he looks too mature and has a scruffy beard all day long. I call him uncle. I just want to remind him to learn from you, Brother Nie Wei, and dress younger."

"Hehe, Brother Xiaoming will be sad to hear your words. Thirty-year-old men are sensitive to age."

"What am I sensitive about?" Huang Xiaoming came over at this time. Hearing Nie Wei's words, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Ask your girlfriend." Nie Wei smiled and patted Huang Xiaoming's shoulder, then walked to Shu Chang to help. Seeing Nie Wei walk to the other side, AB finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his girlfriend's nervous look, Huang Xiaoming asked worriedly.

"Nothing, I just thought too much." AB smiled sweetly at Huang Xiaoming, and then briefly explained the conversation to him, and finally said: "I thought Brother Nie Wei was angry at first, but it turned out that he was just joking with me."

"Haha, you really think too much, all right, let me cut it, you go over there to help Sister Tao wash the vegetables." Looking at the shiny kitchen knife in the girl's hand, Huang Xiaoming always felt uneasy, and simply asked to take over AB's work.

Facing Huang Xiaoming, AB naturally would not be polite, and directly stuffed the kitchen knife into Huang Xiaoming's hand, and ran to Liu Tao, calling Sister Tao sweetly, sitting beside her enthusiastically, and helping diligently.

Just as a group of people were sorting out the ingredients, several guests arrived at the gate of Nie Wei's villa. One of the couples was Wang Baoqiang and Ma Lian, who had just come here to eat a hot pot dinner not long ago, and the other was Huang Bo who came alone.

The reason why Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo were invited was naturally because of the script that Xu Zheng had written a few days ago.

Nie Wei was definitely going to invest in the movie "Lost in Thailand". Although it was difficult for this movie to achieve the same results as in the original time and space, from a professional perspective, this movie was still a very successful commercial work. As long as it was invested, it would definitely be profitable.

The key was that this movie could also greatly help the careers of Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo.

As for Ma Lian, Nie Wei had not originally wanted to invite her, but after she heard that Nie Wei was going to invite Wang Baoqiang, she kept urging Wang Baoqiang to bring her along. Wang Baoqiang foolishly thought that Ma Lian and Shu Chang had a good relationship, so he did not communicate with Nie Wei and brought Ma Lian here.

When Ma Lian appeared in the wooden house, many people in the house showed surprised looks.

"Ma Lian, it's great that you're here. It's just right for you to come and help. There are too many ingredients and our hands are sore from handling them." Shu Chang seemed very graceful at this moment, and his words resolved the awkward atmosphere of Ma Lian's sudden arrival.

Hearing Shu Chang's call, Ma Lian hurried over to help, looking very enthusiastic about work.

"An old friend will come later. You can stay after dinner. I have something to say." Nie Wei, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo said.

These words attracted the attention of many people in the room, but Nie Wei stopped talking about it here, and did not reveal any details. Everyone could only be curious but could not get an answer.

Soon, the "old friend" mentioned by Nie Wei appeared.

Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo were surprised when they saw Xu Zheng. After all, they had worked together before and had a good relationship in the crew at that time. As for the rest of the people, they were confused and did not understand why Xu Zheng appeared here.

Huang Xiaoming and AB looked at each other and seemed to understand something in their hearts.

"When we talked on the phone the other day, Brother Luo Kai said Nie Wei was busy. Was he talking to this Xu Zheng?"

"I think it's nine out of ten."

"What do you think they talked about?"

"How would I know, but I think it might be a movie or a TV series."

"What were you two whispering about?" Liu Tao asked Huang Xiaoming and AB.

"I don't know some people, so I asked the uncle. I was afraid that people would hear me if I spoke too loudly." AB explained with a smile.

"Ask me anything, Xu Zheng. There is a little girl who wants to meet you. Come over here." Liu Tao and Xu Zheng are also very familiar with each other. They have worked together in two TV series and have established a good friendship, so they are not so polite when talking.

Xu Zheng, who was greeting Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo over there, heard Liu Tao's call and immediately moved his eyes over, and then saw AB smiling sweetly at him.

"Huang Xiaoming's girlfriend." Huang Bo is so smart that he immediately whispered in Xu Zheng's ear.

Xu Zheng immediately understood and walked over with a smile. He first joked with Liu Tao for a few words, and then formally introduced himself to AB.

"Tell me, is there anything that Nie Wei wants you to come over this time?" Liu Tao saw that they had greeted each other, and Nie Wei happened to go back to the main building to get tableware, so he quickly pulled Xu Zheng to ask.

This also aroused the curiosity of everyone else, including Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo, and everyone came over.

Seeing a group of people surrounding him, Xu Zheng was a little panicked, but fortunately there was no need to keep this matter secret, so he immediately confessed everything.

"So you want to be a director?" Liu Tao looked at Xu Zheng in surprise, and then laughed: "I remember when we were filming, you said you wanted to be a director. I didn't expect that after such a long time, your wish finally came true."

"No, no, the funds haven't been negotiated yet, and the eight characters haven't been drawn yet." Xu Zheng answered very humbly.

"Mr. Nie asked you to come here, he must want to invest in your movie, I congratulate you in advance." Huang Xiaoming smiled and congratulated, and AB standing next to Huang Xiaoming also smiled and said congratulations, but her eyes looking at Xu Zheng also changed at this time.

As for Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, they simply pulled Xu Zheng to talk about his new movie. The two of them were also a little impatient to know what kind of roles Xu Zheng tailored for them.

When Nie Wei returned to the cabin with tools, he saw a group of people surrounding Xu Zheng and asking questions non-stop.

Nie Wei knew what the group of people were talking about, so when he entered the house and saw that everyone had stopped talking, he didn't ask anything and directly announced that the meal was ready.

Ten people squeezed into the cabin and had a lively barbecue. They didn't leave Nie Wei's villa until after nine o'clock in the evening.

On the way back, AB suddenly asked Huang Xiaoming, who was resting his eyes after drinking a little wine, "Uncle, do you think I can get a role in the new movie directed by Xu Zheng?"
