Chapter 1773 1775 [Clay figurines also have soil properties]
"Who is this girl, I feel so familiar. She can't be the heroine of the audition?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
It would be great to work with her.
"It should be Brooke Shields. Her "Yanwa Biography" was a sensation in the first two years." Cai Yongchang explained.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he suddenly realized.
Boji Shields, he has heard of this name before. It is said that because of her beauty, she is known as the eighth wonder of the world. When I saw her now, although it was a bit exaggerated, it was indeed very beautiful.
"However, although she is somewhat well-known in the United States, she is not yet a first-line actress." Cai Yongchang added, "The topic of "The Legend of Yanwa" starring her is not bad, but the box office is not far behind."
Xiang Nan nodded.
In real life, Brooke Shields is not famous for her works. Her popularity comes more from her gossip and hype.
Her rumored objects include pop king Michael Jackson, the golden family of American politics John F. Kennedy II and so on.
Although she took photos for magazines at the age of ten, she also had quite large-scale performances in movies such as "The Legend of Yanwa" and "Youth Coral Island".
But she actually claimed that she was a devout Christian, and she resolutely did not allow pre-marital intimacy, and even bought insurance for herself, so she was jokingly called the last virgin in Hollywood.
Through these scandals and hype, although Brooke Shields' film and television works were not successful, she still firmly occupied the media space and became the focus of the media, so that Xiang Nan didn't miss her news.
After remembering these things, Xiang Nan's impulse aroused by her disappeared in an instant.
…
After the audition, Xiang Nan and Cai Yongchang stayed in Hollywood for a few days.
During this period, "Master Dragon" was officially launched. After its release, the box office was not bad, continuing the performance of "The Prodigal Boy".
The box office exceeded one million in two days, and as word of mouth fermented, the box office rose even higher.
Such achievements have also made Xiang Nan's popularity soaring and unstoppable.
At this time, Warner finally wrote back. After careful consideration, Xiang Nan was still rejected as the protagonist of "The Dragon Boy". They finally decided to cast Michael Fox in this movie.
He's younger, more handsome, and more importantly, he's white.
Xiang Nan was furious when he heard this.
His script, his funding, in the end he was excluded, of course he didn't approve.
"I want to take back the script, this is my project, and no one can take away my protagonist." Xiang Nan patted the table angrily, and directly patted a solid wooden table into pieces.
"Ning Wei, you have to calm down, this is Hollywood." Cai Yongchang persuaded, "Warner is a giant, you can't offend it!"
"It just knows that I don't dare to offend it, so it dares to despise me so much." Xiang Nan scolded, "I just want it to know that clay figurines are also angry. I must take back the script, and I won't tear it up. Cheap it."
"Ning Wei, don't do this." Cai Yongchang persuaded, "If you still want to come to Hollywood, don't think about fighting it!"
"Then I won't come." Xiang Nan said angrily, "If I don't come to Hollywood, I can still live well."
"Ning Wei, don't make mistakes." Cai Yongchang hurriedly said, "With your talent and strength, this is the best stage for you."
"Lao Cai, are you talking for it, or for me?" Xiang Nan suddenly looked at him and said, "You let me bear it from the beginning, but is it useful now? Isn't it like throwing away trash? I get kicked out.
Cai Yongchang couldn't help being startled when he heard this, and quickly asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"That's what you think." Xiang Nan said coldly.
Cai Yongchang's expression changed several times, and he finally backed out, "Calm down first, I'll make a phone call."
…
Cai Yongchang returned to his room, called Xiangjiang, and told Zou Wenhuai exactly what Xiang Nan meant.
After Zou Wenhuai heard about it, he also had a headache.
If Xiang Nan really fell out with Jiahe, then Jiahe would really be in trouble.
In the past two years, Xiang Nan has made a lot of money for Golden Harvest.
"Laughing Fist and Strange Tricks", "Junior and Brother", "Prodigal Boy", "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts", "Scary People", etc., all sold well at the box office. And it is not only popular in Xiangjiang, but also in Taiwan, Nanyang, Dongying, South Korea and other places.
If he wants to leave Golden Harvest, then Golden Harvest will have to make much less money.
And if Xiang Nan's request is met and he turns against Warner, then the road paved by Jiahe before will be broken, and the price will be very high.
After all, in order to cooperate with Warner, Golden Harvest paid for both people and money, and it cost a lot.
"Raymond, what's going on, you have to make up your mind." Cai Yongchang said, "In my opinion, that kid Ning Wei is really angry this time, and it's not so easy to persuade."
Zou Wenhuai thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's bring the person back first."
Xiang Nan staying in the United States will not help the matter, but will make him even angrier. On the contrary, returning to Xiangjiang, away from the place of right and wrong, is easier to be persuaded.
Cai Yongchang nodded, and then conveyed Zou Wenhuai's opinion to Xiang Nan.
"Don't think that you can wait for changes." Xiang Nan is so smart, he naturally saw through his intentions immediately, "If you don't help me with the script, I will ask for it myself. There are plenty of lawyers in Hollywood, and they must be very interested in representing me This is a winning case."
His script was neither sold to Golden Harvest nor to Warner, and the copyright is still in his own hands. Therefore, it is still very easy to file a lawsuit. As long as Warner dares to shoot, he dares to ask a lawyer to block the project.
At that time, even if the film is made, it will not be able to be released, and he will have to compensate all his losses.
Cai Yongchang was shocked when he heard it.
He didn't expect that Xiang Nan, who came from the mainland, would actually know to hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit.
How did he know that Xiang Nan lived in the United States for a long time in the world of "Little Shede". In order to protect his legal interests, he has hired a private lawyer and has a certain understanding of American laws.
…
Cai Yongchang had no choice but to contact Zou Wenhuai again.
Zou Wenhuai didn't expect that Xiang Nan's temper was so stubborn, so he had no choice but to call himself, "Ning Wei, if it doesn't work once, there will be another time, why make the relationship deadlocked.
In this way, for my sake, you go back to Xiangjiang first. Is it better to have a long-term plan for this matter? In short, I will not treat you badly. "
"Mr. Zou, I just want to ask you, when will you give me the box office share of "Laughing Fist", "Junior Brother", "Prodigal Boy", "Ghost Fighting Ghost", and "Scary People"?" Xiang Nan listened , asked coldly.
He has filmed so many blockbuster movies for Golden Harvest, so he should have received a lot of share. But so far, no sum of money has been seen. Now Real Kung Fu Films always borrows money from Golden Harvest to shoot movies.
In addition to the film salary, Xiang Nan didn't earn any more money, at least several million Hong Kong dollars.
