Chapter 1769 1771 [Business bully]
In October, "Master Dragon" was officially filmed.
At the same time, news came from Warner.
The script of "Longwei Boy" passed the preliminary review and was considered feasible.
However, whether the project can be approved needs further evaluation.
Even so, Zou Wenhuai was already very excited, and specially told Xiang Nan the news.
"Ning Wei, you are really talented, the company really did not misunderstand the person." He happily said to Xiang Nan.
"Mr. Zou, it's just passed the preliminary review. Whether and when the project will be approved has not yet been determined." Xiang Nan laughed.
Zou Wenhuai was taken aback, and smiled, "Ning Wei, you can hold your breath. Yes, young people have a calm spirit, and they will surely achieve great things in the future."
Xiang Nan laughed when he heard this.
The reason why he has concentration is because he has confidence in his future. Even if he doesn't go to Hollywood to develop and become an international superstar, he still has a bright future.
Therefore, whether he goes to Hollywood or not doesn't have much impact on him, and his mentality can naturally be peaceful.
But whether he can go to Hollywood or not, to Zou Wenhuai, is related to the huge interests of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, so it is naturally difficult for him to remain calm.
…
After a period of time, while filming "Master Dragon", Xiang Nan also helped Zhu Mu shoot a new film - "Snake, Cat and Crane Mixed Palm". But it was only a supporting role, and the filming took less than five days in total.
He has helped Zhu Mu film three films before, and the favor he owes has almost been paid off. With a salary of 20,000 yuan, helping him film for five days is worthy of him.
After all, when I first signed the film contract, there were five films in three years, and I didn’t say that I must play the leading role.
If Xiang Nan's "Serpentine Hand" is not popular, Zhu Mu will also not let him play the leading role.
While filming "Snake, Cat and Crane Mixed Palm", Xiang Nan was on the set and met Taiwanese actress Wan Niu.
He doesn't have a deep impression of Tanniu, he only remembers her playing Sima Sanniang in the drama version of "A Chinese Ghost Story". In my memory, I was already a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties.
Now when I see her young, she is actually very beautiful, and as her name suggests, she is a sweet girl. She has a round figure and a sweet smile, which is very pleasing.
Tianniu was quite enthusiastic about him, and she took the initiative to ask for an autographed photo when they met, "Mr. Ning, I am a fan of your movie. I have watched all your movies, and you play really beautifully."
"Thank you." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, fulfilling her little wish.
"Mr. Ning, if I have time, can I ask you out to dance?" Tan Niu asked again with a smile.
Xiang Nan was taken aback, then nodded, "Okay, this is my hotel's phone number, you can leave me a message. But I'm filming "Master Dragon" recently, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to find time."
He is chasing Miao Kexiu right now, but Miao Kexiu never spits out, which makes him a little tired. He was going to chase again, and if he didn't succeed, he wouldn't chase.
After all, there is no grass anywhere in the world. Great youth, great years, cannot be wasted on one person.
"It's okay, I can wait." Tan Niu smiled.
Xiang Nan nodded when he heard this.
…
After filming "Snake, Cat and Crane Mixed Palm", Xiang Nan originally wanted to ask Miao Ke to embroider it and make it clear.
But there was a sudden message from Warner, asking Xiang Nan to go to the audition immediately.
It turned out that after the script of "Longwei Boy" was reviewed, the project was officially approved.
This made him very speechless for a while. The script is his, the funds are also his, and he is still being picked on, it's really a shop bully.
However, the situation is stronger than others. In order to go to Hollywood, he can only swallow his anger for the time being, and ran to Hollywood for a while.
Going to Hollywood with him is Golden Harvest's third-in-command Cai Yongchang.
Back then, he joined Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang in hopping from Shaw Brothers and established his own company. His position in Golden Harvest can be regarded as deeply rooted.
The two took a flight, traveled all the way across the ocean, and came to Hollywood, then went to Warner headquarters to accept an interview.
"Ning Wei, don't be nervous, it's okay, just perform your best." On the way, Cai Yongchang comforted Xiang Nandao.
Xiang Nan nodded with a smile when he heard it, "Thank you, Mr. Cai, I see."
Actually, he wasn't nervous at all.
It’s best to come to Hollywood to develop, even if you can’t come, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, there is more than one path to his success.
…
Arrived at Warner headquarters, but there was no interview immediately.
The two waited in the living room of the headquarters for nearly four hours. They drank almost two pots of coffee before someone notified them that the manager who was in charge of receiving them suddenly went on a business trip yesterday and asked them to go back to the hotel to wait for news and the manager to come back. Besides.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he wished he could slap the table and scold his mother.
A business trip was arranged yesterday, why didn't you notify them in advance? If I had known earlier, they would not have flown here today.
After all, when the movie "Master Dragon" was in critical condition, if we stayed in Xiangjiang for one more day, we could shoot several more shots.
Take a step back and say, even if yesterday was an urgent task, it was too late to notify. Then when they come today, they can also tell them that they won't have to wait here.
Four hours, do something wrong. Going back to sleep is better than staying here.
In the final analysis, Warner didn't pay attention to these Hong Kong filmmakers, so they dared to be so negligent. It's really unreasonable!
"Bastard, you underestimate people!" Xiang Nan wanted to give Warner's executives a big mouth.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's all a routine operation, don't be surprised." Cai Yongchang immediately comforted him when he saw it, "Why do we have to ask others now. When you become as popular as Bruce Lee in the future, you will naturally Instead, they came to beg us."
Xiang Nan nodded when he heard this.
Know that Hollywood is a big shop bullying customers, and big customers bullying the store. Both parties are in a constant game, and both want to seek the best interests for themselves.
For example, an unknown person like him is easily underestimated by those movie giants.
And box office superstars like Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Will Smith, Johnny Depp, etc., can rely on their strong box office appeal to sit on an equal footing with the film company and bargain.
One day, when he becomes popular, he will make the boss of Warner kneel down and beg him.
…
Xiang Nan and Cai Yongchang were forced to go back to the hotel to stay temporarily. They waited for seven days in a row, which made Xiang Nan almost annoyed by waiting.
You know, "Master Dragon" is still waiting for him in Xiangjiang, he really doesn't have time to work in Hollywood.
"Or I'll go back first." He discussed with Cai Yongchang.
Always waiting here, but there is no news, he really couldn't bear it anymore. It's not that he can't bear loneliness, but that he can't bear the feeling of being underestimated.
"Don't worry, you're leaving now. If he comes back tomorrow, wouldn't you have to fly back again?" Cai Yongchang persuaded, "It's better to wait patiently for a few more days, I don't think it will be too long."
Right at this moment, the phone rang, and they received a notification from Warner that Xiang Nan should meet the producer at the Hilton Hotel tomorrow.
