How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 458 Chenglong wants to come back

The next day.

Zhang Nan sat on the director's chair and refused to get up. He couldn't get up at all. His legs were shaking all the time, which seemed a bit staged.

But fortunately, even if Zhang Nan was really putting on a show, others didn't dare to say anything, not to mention that others could also see that Zhang Nan's face was pale and it was obvious that he had some physical problems, so they all understood.

Today, the crew of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is filming the scene where Cheng Long and Li Lianlian are reunited.

Zhang Nan didn't know that this was Han Sanpin's arrangement. He felt that only if he came to film the scenes between the two of them, it would be considered as a soldier versus a soldier or a general, and it was the request of Chenglong and Li Lianlian.

After all, both of them have now returned to the mainland, and their positions are a bit unstable because of the "King of Kung Fu". If they want to find an opportunity to get close to him, the probability is relatively high.

But Zhang Nan just thought about it for a moment and didn't go into details.

Anyway, it was the two of them who wanted something from him, and it was not him who wanted anything from them.

……

Chenglong and Li Lianlian did not have many scenes in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".

It's either a reporter's interview shot that passes by in a flash (Chenglong plays a reporter), or a shot that lasts less than five seconds and contains one line of dialogue (Li Lianyu plays a soldier).

That's why.

It’s because their status as celebrities is something that is clearly on the table. It’s already quite good that Han Sanpin can take on the New Year film project and invite them to play supporting roles with zero pay. Han Sanpin doesn’t dare to take advantage of it too much. Two people are starring.

Zhang Nan is a veteran in filming. In less than an hour, the scene between the two was filmed.

Then Li Lianjie didn't say anything. After the filming, he was polite to Zhang Nan, said hello and left.

Chenglong, on the other hand, came up to Zhang Nan and started chatting about something.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Nan knew that the scene he was directing with these two people today was probably requested by Chenglong, and then Han Sanpin got Li Lianlian over by the way.

"Brother Chenglong, what kind of friendship do we have? If you have something to do, just tell me, and I will do it for you if I can." Listening to Chenglong's hazy chat, Zhang Nan was suffering from both physical and qi deficiency. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I spoke directly.

In fact, Zhang Nan had already guessed Chenglong's thoughts.

I regret my retirement and want to return to work.

After all, Chenglong in the original time and space has not retired yet in 2023 and is still in the entertainment industry.

After hearing Zhang Nan's words, Chenglong felt a little embarrassed. Then he sorted out his emotions and began to slowly talk to Zhang Nan: "Anan, to tell you the truth, I did have thoughts of retiring a while ago. After all, I have been thinking about it all these years. I won’t make less money, and I won’t be short of food and drink if I retire.

But after I really retired, I realized that as a person who has been working on movies all my life, I really can’t take any time off!

And...after I rested, I figured it out. Is there a shortage of rich people in this world?

No shortage.

Living in this world, can you be happy if you have money?

Not at all.

Many things cannot be bought with money, so..."

Listening to the first half of Chenglong's words, Zhang Nan curled his lips a little.

Can't take any time off?

It’s because there’s no one around, no spotlight shining on it, it’s so lonely that I can’t stand it!

After hearing the second half of Chenglong's words, Zhang Nan looked at Chenglong with some suspicion.

Chenglong, who has never gone to school and has little education, can say this. It can be seen that Chenglong's thoughts are profound. He did not get to where he is today by luck.

Because this world is like what Chenglong said.

There is no shortage of rich people, and one cannot be happy just by having money - Zhang Sohu is an example.With Chenglong's status in the entertainment industry, the value of what he enjoys is something that many people cannot buy with money.

Apart from anything else, many of the beauty resources in the entertainment industry cannot be obtained by spending money.

Because people can earn enough money to live a good life on their own, and they will not have to sell themselves for a little money, but they can dedicate themselves to art for the resources of the entertainment industry.

"So...brother Chenglong, do you want to come back?" Zhang Nan asked knowingly.

Chenglong nodded.

"If you want to make a comeback, you don't have to come to me. You can do it yourself. I believe that as long as you say something, there will definitely be many film and television companies in the Mainland, Hong Kong, and even Hollywood willing to come up with a comeback project for you. ." Zhang Nan used a flattering tone to please Chenglong Dao.

Chenglong nodded slightly when he heard this.

Because that's what it is.

Even if "The King of Kung Fu" failed at the box office, even if he gave a retirement speech.

But as long as he thinks about it, coming back again is not a problem at all.

This is indeed the case in the original time and space.

As soon as Chenglong spoke, the sound did not reach Xiangjiang. Bona Pictures in the Mainland directly prepared a project for Chenglong called "Little Soldiers".

Although Chenglong didn't know about these future events, he was quite sure of them.

However, the reason why Chenglong approached Zhang Nan this time was mainly because of Zhang Nan's method of promoting the artists he signed, which was a bit too superb.

Needless to say, Wu Jin and Zhou Jie were in the first batch. Both of them are still hanging out in Hollywood, especially Wu Jin.

This year's movie "Rescue" has a lot of the style of his original "Rush Hour", and Chenglong also heard that "Rescue 2" is already in preparation.

If nothing else goes wrong, the next film "Taken 2" will be released, which will be the time when Wu Jin enters the Hollywood 2000 million salary club.

Hu Ge and Yu Entai from the second batch.

In the beginning, it was Li Lianlian’s [Hero]. Later, Yu Entai dived into academic studies, but Hu Ge’s progress was steady.

This year's movie "Blackjack" also made Hu Ge a famous rookie in Hollywood.

Four people were signed, two became international superstars, one was on his way to become an international superstar, and the other stopped because he wasn't too interested in it.

With this training method, Chenglong felt that if he got on Zhang Nan's train, his career might be even better than when he was at his peak.

"Aren't we close, and I really admire your method of cultivating artists, Anan, so I thought that we two brothers could work together." Chenglong said with a flattering joke.

Zhang Nan waved his hand quickly after hearing this, "You are so flattering. I was just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. I am lucky. The main thing is the signed artist's own efforts."

After being polite to Chenglong for a while, Zhang Nan continued to say solemnly: "So... you really want to close your own film and television company and sign into my company? I have to tell you in advance. The division with the artist is not low. In the first two years, it closed [-] % and [-] % of the first four years.

Hearing Zhang Nan talk about sharing, Chenglong paused.

Because although Zhang Nan's conditions are similar to those of film and television companies on the market, they also have potential for growth.

As for a superstar who has reached the stage of Chenglong, the commission between him and the film and television company will definitely not be that big, let alone [-]%, at most [-]%.

What's more, Chenglong has already opened his own personal agency, so he doesn't have to pay [-]%.

but……

Chenglong thought again that he was really not short of money now, and he would pay for it after retirement.

Now when I come to Zhang Nan, what I want is to save a lot of worry and effort after my comeback. I don’t have to go around to get my own resources and enjoy a life of filming like a retirement. It’s best to be able to return to the top with Zhang Nan’s support.

"Anan, now that I'm my age, and I've made a lot over the years, and I'm not short of money, it's really not that important to me how to split the money." Chenglong made up his mind.
