How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 195
On the surface, Zhang Nan still had a sunny expression, as if he didn't care about what happened just now.

But in his heart, Zhang Nan has already decided that he will have a good fight with the producer of Xiangjiang on the "Infernal Affairs" series in the future.

Yes.

Zhang Nan has already set his sights on what can be called the last rescue work of the Xiangjiang film industry - the "Infernal Affairs" series.

Because apart from this series, Xiangjiang really doesn't have any projects, which can catch Zhang Nan's eyes.

On the road.

The eldest brother Chenglong chatted with Zhang Nan about the "Rush Hour 2" project.

After taking off completely with [Rush Hour 1].

For this series of making a living, the eldest brother Chenglong naturally hopes to have more say, which can be in his own hands.

So what is meant inside and outside the words is that he wants to be the leading actor and producer himself, and let Zhang Nanlai comeo.

Zhang Nan also understands the operation of his elder brother Chenglong.

Changing places, he would do the same, after all, this is something to settle down.

Comprehensible is understanding, brothers still have to settle accounts clearly.

What's more, Zhang Nan and Chenglong are just good friends.

"Brother Chenglong, if it's a cameo, I'm sure it's fine."

Zhang Nan nodded affirmatively at first, and then said with some embarrassment: "But I can't help myself in the arena. My current appearance fee... involves too much, and it's really not easy to lower it."

After the elder brother Chenglong heard the words, the corners of his eyes and mouth twitched a little.

He has also heard about Zhang Nan's ridiculously high daily salary.

But thinking of Zhang Nan's current enthusiasm, the elder brother Chenglong began to be cruel, and asked, "How much?"

Zhang Nan stretched out a finger first.

The eldest brother Chenglong resisted the urge to inhale, and said, "1000 million dollars!"

Zhang Nan shook his head, turned one finger into two, and explained in a nonchalant way: "200 million US dollars."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Nan added: "Eight hours."

"Sigh~"

The eldest brother Chenglong couldn't bear it anymore, and took a sharp breath.

Twelve million dollars, eight hours!

It's so fucking outrageous.

You must know that the total investment of the entire [Rush Hour 2] is only 4000 million U.S. dollars.

Among them, he and Will Smith, the two leading actors, only received a fixed salary of 1000 million US dollars each, plus a very red percentage of the global box office. (Big brother Chenglong actually got 2 million US dollars in [Rush Hour 500] in the original space-time, plus 15.00% of the global box office dividend, plus distribution rights in Asia. This wave was influenced by Zhang Nan and Will Smith decreased)

Therefore, [Rush Hour 2] only has 2000 million US dollars that can be used for production, if Zhang Nan is invited to play.

Then there is only 800 million US dollars of production fees left, what a fart!

"Anyone made an offer?" Brother Chenglong asked in disbelief.

Zhang Nan shrugged, spread his hands, and said lightly, "Warner wanted to better me, so they made a special [Fatal Romeo] project, and invited the artist Wu Jin I signed to star in, and then said I wanted to invite me to be a guest star, but I was thinking of refusing it at the time, saying that my appearance fee would be more expensive, trying to scare them off, but it turned out that they only had 200 million US dollars to open their mouths, so..."

Behind Zhang Nan's reason, he originally wanted to say, so Warner has just offered a high price. He really can't lower the price in this period of time. I'm afraid he won't be able to make a guest appearance in [Rush Hour 2].

After hearing Zhang Nan's words, the eldest brother Chenglong felt that Warner was really rich, and he also heard what Zhang Nan wanted to say later.

Originally, he wanted to accept it calmly, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he quickly raised his hand to stop Zhang Nan's subsequent rejection words.

"A'nan, don't rush to refuse, just give me some time, I'll make a call."

Zhang Nan tilted his head and looked at his elder brother Chenglong in confusion.

The eldest brother Chenglong explained: "He is rich in Warner Bros., but the new line is not short of cash!"

At present, the big brother Chenglong's coffee position, in Xiangjiang, the project he starred in, can definitely be invested in, but Chenglong in Hollywood has not yet reached that level.

Therefore, the 2 million production fee of [Rush Hour 4000] was all invested by New Line. If you spend a little more money, Big Brother Chenglong will definitely not feel bad.

And spending [-] million US dollars to shoot the new line of the "Lord of the Rings" series, there must be no shortage of money and courage.

And before the new line was in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, in order to please Zhang Nan, it gave Zhang Nan a one-day salary.

As for things like inviting Zhang Nan to be a guest, Xinxian is not the first time a big girl has been on a bridal sedan chair, and she is quite familiar with it.

But the capital is half a world away from Hollywood.

Day here, night there.

So the eldest brother Chenglong couldn't talk to New Line President Alan Toby in the first place, so he could only call slowly level by level.

As a result, the eldest brother Chenglong hadn't finished his phone call when the car arrived at the headquarters of the Spring Festival Gala program group.

"Brother Chenglong, are you here?" Zhang Nan called his brother Chenglong to get off the car.

The elder brother Chenglong nodded when he heard the words, then held the phone in one hand to his ear, and got out of the car while pressing Zhang Nan's shoulder.

"Crack!"

The image of the two was photographed by many paparazzi who surrounded the Spring Festival Gala program group.

Later, this photo was circulated, and many people who saw the photo were curious about who the eldest brother Chenglong was calling with his hand on Zhang Nan's shoulder and the other hand.

Then an insider explained: In order to invite Zhang Nan to make a guest appearance in [Rush Hour 2], they called New Line to apply for an additional investment of 200 million US dollars.

People who eat melons: ...
-
CTS headquarters building.

As soon as Zhang Nan and Chenglong got off the car, they found the gate.

Standing on one side was Zhao Benshan and other big names in the mainland comedy circle, and Zhang Ziyi, who was outstanding in appearance, was also mixed in.

On the other side, there are artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Such as Xiangjiang's popular traffic idol Xie Tingfeng, mainland-born Liming, one of the four kings of Xiangjiang, and Wanwan's two female artists: singer Zhang Huimei and actress Lin Ziwei.

The comedians of Zhao Benshan's vote naturally came to welcome Zhang Nan.

The Hong Kong and Taiwan hexagram artists came to welcome the eldest brother Chenglong.

But the eldest brother Chenglong is currently on the phone, so the people from Hong Kong and Taiwan were stunned.

After all, they are here to greet people, so it's not good to directly interrupt eldest brother Chenglong's phone call.

"Director Zhang!"

On Zhao Benshan's side, he didn't have this concern. He brought a group of comedians and went directly to Zhang Nan.

Then began to introduce Zhang Nan one by one: Feng Gong, Guo Donglin, Pan Changjiang, Gong Hanlin, Wang Siyi, Aunt Song, Aunt Cai, Huang Hong, Ling Feng, Guo Da, Sun Tao, Jiang Kun.

Zhang Nan is naturally very familiar with these big comedians.

After all, in this life, although he has been busy all these years, he missed all kinds of wonderful performances of these big names in the Spring Festival Gala.

But the previous life was a complete experience.

Especially when I saw Pan Changjiang, who has not yet sold goods on a certain sound, and came up with a new era idiom - Pan Ga's friend, I was very moved - time is really a butcher's knife!
So in the face of Zhao Benshan's introduction, Zhang Nan also gave a rather enthusiastic response, which made this group of comedians feel a little flattered.

In the past few years, the program group of the Spring Festival Gala has begun to like to engage in mixed programs of Xiangjiang, Wanwan and the Mainland.

Relying on the afterglow of the golden age of movies, the artists on the Xiangjiang side are of higher grade than those on the Wanwan side.

Basically, both male and female artists have relatively high status and fame, and they can all get a solo show.

On the Wanwan side, it was worse.

If a female artist is well-known, she can still get a solo show, while a male artist will be stuffed into the works of a big comedy star in the mainland, as a tool.

And Zhang Nan's incomprehensible performance in Hollywood makes him particularly influential in Xiangjiang and Wanwan, two places that worship foreigners.

There were two curvy male entertainers who were among the top comedians in the mainland. When they saw Zhang Nan stretching out his hand out of politeness, they were so excited that they were about to cry after shaking hands.

And just when the two curvy male artists were about to cry with excitement, Zhang Ziyi suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Nan, stretched out his hand and said politely: "Hello, Director Zhang, my name is Zhang Ziyi."

Zhang Nan could tell that Zhang Ziyi wanted to show a neither humble nor overbearing gesture in front of him.

But because he was too young, or because his current coffee position was a little too scary, Zhang Ziyi couldn't hold on, showing a look of excitement and panic.

Seeing Zhang Ziyi who took the initiative to say hello, Zhang Nan couldn't turn a blind eye.

So Zhang Nan made a look of reminiscing, and then simply picked a few good words and said: "I remembered, Ah Zhen mentioned you to me, saying that you are very spiritual in acting, you are good at filming, and your future is limitless."

But Zhang Nan underestimated his current status in China, or in the hearts of artists in the entire Asian entertainment industry.

It was just these two beautiful words put together that made Zhang Ziyi's blood boil and excited. She never thought that Ye Quanzhen would actually mention her to Zhang Nan.

Zhang Ziyi also wanted to continue chatting with Zhang Nan about the things in the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" crew, and wanted to describe that in the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" crew, Ye Quan really took care of her in various aspects, and followed her in a roundabout way. Zhang Nan deepens the relationship and leaves a deeper impression in front of Zhang Nan. Maybe whenever there is a project, Zhang Nan will think of her.

But there are not many fools in the entertainment industry.

Zhang Nan has already made a round of greetings, but the eldest brother Chenglong has not finished calling.

A group of artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan felt that it was so embarrassing, and it was not a problem.

Moreover, Zhang Nan had a lively chat with the artists who participated in the Spring Festival Gala, and their attitude was very kind.

And in terms of status, strength and resources, Zhang Nan is far more powerful than his elder brother.

So Zhang Huimei and Lin Ziwei inadvertently distanced themselves from the people in Xiangjiang and walked to Zhang Nan's side.

Zhang Huimei greeted normally, while Lin Ziwei mentioned Zhou Jie inside and outside the words.

The corner of Zhang Nan's mouth twitched when he heard this.

The original time and space was the one who made Zhou Jie go to farm and become a rich man, and now it has turned into such a situation.

It can only be said that the world is impermanent!
Then they chatted, except for one Xie Tingfeng who was still standing still, looking a bit maverick, the others came to say hello to Zhang Nan.

After a while, the eldest brother Chenglong's call was finally finished.

Then the first time he hung up the phone, the eldest brother Chenglong walked up to Zhang Nan and said, "The negotiation is over, the new line is willing to increase investment, and plans to offer 500 million US dollars to invite you to play a guest role for eight hours. Enough money back, let’s come!”

Zhang Nan was speechless after hearing Chenglong's words.

He knew the president of New Line, Alan Toby, and felt that Warner always wanted to annex New Line (in fact, Warner did have this idea), and he always had inexplicable hostility towards Warner, and wanted to overwhelm Warner in everything.

But isn't it a bit outrageous to do this? The two of you belong to a head office.

But Zhang Nan thought about it again, and estimated that the new line's 500 million US dollars was not only intended to overwhelm Warner, but also to urge him.

Yes, for the cameo appearance of Sauron in the [Lord of the Rings] trilogy, Zhang Nan received a salary of 100 million yuan, but he has not made a cameo appearance yet.

And [Rush Hour 2] the money here is in place, Zhang Nan immediately changed his hesitant tone before, and said in a very loyal tone: "Brother Chenglong, what you said made me look like a person who values ​​money so much." As far as our relationship is concerned, I have to support even if I don’t have enough money, when will [Rush Hour 2] start filming, and I’ll be there on time if I’m notified when the time comes?”

Big brother Chenglong: "..." You didn't have this attitude before!
Then the eldest brother Chenglong glanced at the surrounding environment, and found that it was full of people, and it was difficult to expose Zhang Nan.

And the conversation between the two did not avoid others, so that the people on the side heard the truth.

Fifteen million dollars, eight hours.

Not to mention the mainland, even artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan have never seen this kind of fighting!

Even the weather-beaten Zhao Benshan came up to Zhang Nan tremblingly at this moment, and asked with a shocked face: "500 million?!!"

It has to be said that Zhao Benshan, as a leading figure in the sketch world, has a good foundation in lines and emotions.

Just using the five words of 1000 million and 500 million, it expresses: earning 500 million US dollars in eight hours, this thing is too outrageous, is it true, how to do it... and other complicated meanings.

"That is to say, the popularity has been relatively high recently, and it is not usually so expensive!"

Zhang Nan was modest for a moment, then changed the subject: "Uncle Benshan, this is my first Spring Festival Gala, you have to take me with you!"

Zhao Benshan choked when he heard the words.

You are here to fight, I am doing sketches, it has nothing to do with it!

And you are a big guy who earned 500 million US dollars in eight hours, how can I take it?
But with such thoughts in his heart, Zhao Benshan kept nodding on the surface.

However, compared to a large number of male artists, Zhang Nan was shocked by Zhang Nan's appearance fee of US$500 million for eight hours.

Surrounded by female artists such as Zhang Ziyi, Lin Ziwei and Zhang Huimei, especially Zhang Ziyi, they are concerned about another aspect.

[Rush Hour 2] This kind of world-class series that sells well all over the world, others will be too happy to be able to participate in it.

When it came to Zhang Nan, he couldn't even invite him to play.

The money has to be in place before they can be hired.

The gap is really too big.

No matter men, women, old or young, people from both sides of the strait and three places were all stunned by Zhang Nan.

The big brother Chenglong over there also suddenly found out that the kid Xie Tingfeng was standing on the side doing something special, so he hurried over and slapped him on the head.

"What's the matter? I don't know how to say hello when people come. No wonder your father asked me to take care of you."

Xie Tingfeng felt a little aggrieved by Chenglong's slap, he wanted to say that he was waiting for you to finish the call, but he didn't say it because he had already been dragged to Zhang Nan by Chenglong.

"A'nan, this is Tingfeng, the child of a friend of mine." Chenglong introduced Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then looked Xie Tingfeng up and down.

To be honest, Zhang Nan has a bad feeling towards Xie Tingfeng.

It's not that she hates Xie Tingfeng's cool and pretentious style.

After all, style is a personal characteristic, and there is nothing to say.

Zhang Nan is very disgusted with his various practices of hitting someone with his car and running away, and cooperating with Zhang Weijian to beat up the veteran actors in the mainland.

But the current gap between the two is too big, and this guy hasn't done these things yet, Zhang Nan really has no reason to suppress the other party, he must be punished without teaching.

The most important thing is that Zhang Nan feels that the wicked will have their own way.

His wife, Zhang Baizhi, will be pulled by Kansai Gora to play cosplay photography activities in a few years, and will be made public by means of computer repairs, which is really a bit miserable.

　There's another update at four in the afternoon.
