Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Colds and fevers are nothing to most people. At most, they can take two or three days off and rest at home.

But for actors, especially those who are currently filming, this disease is definitely troublesome.

Nasal congestion, runny nose, headache and fever will undoubtedly affect the state of the actors. Especially since actors live in a large group, it is easy to spread to others. If you are not careful, the entire crew may be affected. Imagine that everyone in the crew has a cold. I guess the director would cry on the spot.

However, even if Nie Wei is sick now, director Du Qifeng is about to cry, after all, Nie Wei is the male lead.

If Nie Wei falls ill, the crew's play will be paralyzed by half.

On the night when Nie Wei fell ill, Luo Kai and Du Qifeng rushed Nie Wei to the hospital. When he took the temperature of 39.2 degrees, Du Qifeng's face darkened on the spot. The key point is that Nie Wei can't be blamed for this. Nie Wei's performance in that scene was fine from beginning to end. It was only the weather at that time and the state of the opponent actor.

Now that Nie Wei is sick, Du Qifeng feels more regretful than guilty. Why didn't he prepare more? If he could shoot less, Nie Wei might not suffer this pain at all.

"Director, go back to the hotel and rest. I'll stay here." Luo Kai returned to the ward with a few cups of coffee and said when he saw Du Qifeng still standing by.

"Okay, I'll ask the staff to come and take your place later." Du Qifeng did not reject Luo Kai's proposal. Nie Wei's illness made him very depressed, but he also knew that as a director, he should rest more, otherwise the crew might really be paralyzed.

Du Qifeng took the hot coffee handed over by Luo Kai and left the hospital.

Half an hour later, Nie Wei opened his eyes in a daze and saw Luo Yuan sitting by his bed and dozing off.

"Luo Yuan." Nie Wei's tone was a little weak, and his face was pale but very calm.

"Nie Wei, you finally woke up. I'll go call the doctor." Seeing Nie Wei looking at her, Luo Yuan was surprised, and at the same time, she calmly pressed the call bell beside Nie Wei's bed.

"Where's Luo Kai?" Nie Wei asked.

"My dad went out to smoke a cigarette." Luo Yuan rubbed her eyes and looked at the clock on the wall. The time was already 3:50 in the morning of the next day.

Nie Wei didn't ask anything else. After a while, the doctor came in, followed by Luo Kai, who was also excited.

"The patient is fine. He was sent here in time. He has not developed any inflammation. His temperature has dropped. However, I suggest that he stay in the hospital for two more days for observation. He can be discharged only after the fever does not recur."

"Okay..."

"Wait a minute." Luo Kai was about to respond when Nie Wei raised his hand to stop him. He then explained to the doctor, "I'm sorry, doctor. I'm an actor. I'm busy with a play. I'm afraid I don't have time to stay in the hospital. Please prescribe some medicine for me."

After hearing what Nie Wei said, the doctor frowned, and Luo Kai on the side was also hesitant to speak.

"Okay, but I remind you that you can work at any time, but your body is your own. Don't regret it if you get sick."

"Thank you." Nie Wei responded calmly with a normal expression.

Soon, Luo Kai returned to Nie Wei's single ward with a small plastic bag of medicine.

"Nie Wei, it's okay to ask the crew for two days off. Besides, it's them who made you sick. I don't believe the crew won't give you a vacation. If they really don't, I'll just report it to the media and see if they still have the shame."

"Brother Kai, stop talking nonsense." Listening to Luo Kai's complaints, Nie Wei smiled and said, "I know my body, it's nothing serious. I caught a cold and had a fever this time because I'm not used to the environment of the treasure island. Don't worry, I can hold on. Don't make it difficult for the crew."

Nie Wei's words were seven points true and three points false. He really knew his physical condition very well, and he also felt a little regretful.

After living in peace for too long, Nie Wei even started to fish for three days and dry the net for two days. This was the main reason why he didn't avoid the fever this time. If he could practice the breathing method passed on to him by the old man every day in the past few months, and practice Baguazhang more, I believe that the cold water this time would not cause any problems for him at all. At least in his previous life, his physical fitness that he practiced hard made him never catch a cold or have a fever.

Besides, the main reason why Nie Wei said that was for his own reputation.

Nie Wei knew that if he asked for leave, Du Qifeng would definitely approve it, but if he went to work while sick, he believed that it would definitely be a topic of conversation. Nie Wei was not a saint, on the contrary, he was very vulgar. As long as his body could hold on, Nie Wei would do anything that was beneficial to him.

Early the next morning, Luo Kai brought Nie Wei to the set, and Du Qifeng was moved.

How could he not be moved? You know, the crew only has one day left in Taipei, and they can rush back to Hong Kong as long as they finish filming. If Nie Wei asked for sick leave, the crew would have to stay in Taipei, and a large amount of money would be spent every day, and Du Qifeng would feel distressed from the bottom of his heart.

"Can you really hold on?"

"No problem." Facing Du Qifeng's concern, Nie Wei smiled indifferently and replied calmly. Although his face was a little pale, it did not seem stiff.

"That's good. I'll shoot all your scenes together and try to finish work early." Because of his illness, Nie Wei finally enjoyed a treatment that even Liang Yongqi didn't enjoy.

Nie Wei did not refuse this preferential treatment and readily agreed.

Nie Wei did not disappoint Du Qifeng. At least in the morning performance, Nie Wei's acting skills were still remarkable, and the number of mistakes he made was still the least among all the actors. If Nie Wei had not coughed occasionally and had to wear a mask and a thick coat after the performance, I am afraid that some people would think that Nie Wei was pretending to be sick.

Did Nie Wei pretend to be sick? Of course not.

Because he could endure it, he endured the discomfort brought by the cold and fever.

Sitting on a chair, wearing a down jacket, Nie Wei held a teacup and took a sip from time to time.

Luo Yuan, who was standing by, was holding a tissue box and preparing it. When Nie Wei raised his hand, she would take the teacup and hand over the tissue. There was also a trash can next to it, which was already half full of paper balls, all of which were Nie Wei's "trophies" in the morning.

"Luo Yuan, did you take the medicine at noon? I don't want to infect you with the cold." After blowing his nose again, Nie Wei prepared to throw the paper balls into the trash can and asked Luo Yuan at the same time.

"I've taken medicine, and I'm wearing a mask." Luo Yuan was wearing a disposable mask at the moment, and her originally crisp voice was a little muffled at the moment.

Nie Wei nodded, and at this moment, Liang Yongqi suddenly came to Nie Wei's side.

"Sister Yongqi, I have a cold, and it's easy to get infected if you're too close to me." Seeing Liang Yongqi sitting next to him, Nie Wei quickly leaned aside. If he infected the heroine again, Du Qifeng would probably kill him.

"It's okay, I'm in good health." Liang Yongqi explained, and then said with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault that I was not in good condition that day, causing you to catch a cold. When I return to Hong Kong, I'll treat you to hot pot, and I guarantee that one meal will make your cold heal."

"Then I'm looking forward to it." Nie Wei said with a smile.

"I will definitely not disappoint you. I know a very delicious hot pot restaurant." Liang Yongqi said with a smile, but after saying this, the woman's face was a little lonely: "You have a cold, and no one in the crew is talking to me."

It turned out that the only person who could talk to Liang Yongqi during these ten days was Nie Wei. The others were either too old and had a generation gap, so there was nothing to talk about, or their status was too different. When they talked, one side was very respectful, and it was obviously not very pleasant.

On the other hand, Nie Wei was young, but he was calm and mature. When the two of them communicated, Nie Wei was more like a brother, and Nie Wei's erudition was also something Liang Yongqi envied. It seemed that no problem was a problem for Nie Wei. In just ten days, Liang Yongqi even developed the habit of looking for Nie Wei when he had a problem.

In the end, Liang Yongqi even shared his emotional problems with Nie Wei, which made Nie Wei laugh and cry. This silly girl really couldn't keep secrets in her heart, and she was also innocent and cute. She could trust someone so casually in just a dozen days and tell him such private things.

Of course, Nie Wei is not a gossipy person. He believes that there are not many people in the entire entertainment industry who can match him in keeping secrets.

Liang Yongqi and Nie Wei didn't talk for long before the assistant found a reason to pull them back.

At noon, Nie Wei also enjoyed the sick meal in the crew. Chicken porridge with four kinds of pickles made him eat a full bowl of porridge even though he didn't have much appetite. After the meal, Nie Wei took a walk around the park where the filming was done, and then took the medicine he should take under Luo Kai's urging.

The closer it got to the afternoon, the colder Nie Wei felt. He knew that this was because the fever had not yet healed. Du Qifeng came over again and asked about Nie Wei's condition. After Nie Wei said that he was fine, he said a few more words of concern before leaving.

The afternoon shoot started soon, and Nie Wei's face turned pale again.

"Nie Wei, why don't you talk to the director and take a break." The makeup artist looked at the cold sweat on Nie Wei's temples and said with some reluctance. This child is too strong. He insisted on working even though he was so sick.

"Sister, please help me put on thicker makeup. I'm afraid my face won't look good under the camera." Nie Wei said.

Hearing this, the makeup artist sighed, knowing that Nie Wei was determined to act, but she also admired Nie Wei more in her heart. After all, she met very few polite, talented and dedicated actors.

This day, Nie Wei really won the hearts of many people in the crew.

After wiping the cold sweat from his temples, Nie Wei walked into the set for the first time with heavy makeup. Du Qifeng pursed his lips and looked at Nie Wei in the camera, clenched his fists, and firmly shouted "Start".
