In January, Xiang Nan and Cong Shan went home to spend time with their parents, but Ning Jing did not come with them this time. However, he had discussed with his grandfather and grandmother in advance that he would visit relatives in China during the summer vacation.
When I went home to visit relatives, Zhang Yimou came to visit me specially. Hearing that Cong Shan was coming back, he hoped that she could star in his new film "Hawthorn Tree Love", playing the role of the mother of the heroine Wei Hong.
After discussing with Xiang Nan, Cong Shan decided to agree.
On the one hand, after Xiang Nan went to film "Fast and Furious 5", she had nothing to do at home; on the other hand, she and Zhang Yimou were old acquaintances after all, and she believed in Zhang Yimou's ability, so she was willing to cooperate with him.
…
In February, Xiang Nan returned to Xiangjiang to meet old friends and take a look at the company's operations.
Real Kung Fu Pictures and ATV are still developing smoothly. While they are cooperating with mainland TV stations to shoot dramas and produce variety shows, they are also cooperating with online platforms to upload ATV's dramas, variety shows, and Hong Kong films from the Real Kung Fu library. Online for viewers to enjoy.
In this way, the annual profit can exceed 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is much stronger than wireless. Therefore, ATV and Zhen Kung Fu are quite generous. They can offer higher salaries, better benefits, and invest more money in the production of programs.
As a result, many TVB talents no longer signed contracts with TVB after their terms expired, but instead switched to ATV.
For example, in front of the stage are Lin Baoyi, Myolie Wu, Ma Junwei, Wu Zhuoxi, etc., behind the scenes are the screenwriters Huang Yude, Ye Tiancheng, Ou Guanying, and the producers Mei Xiaoqing, Man Weihong, Liu Jiahao, etc. Intermittently, there were as many as two to three hundred people.
There are only about 2,000 employees in front and behind the scenes of TVB, so it is equivalent to losing 10% of the talent. And those who dare to run away are usually capable people.
So one person may not seem like a lot of talent, but in fact it has already been a heavy blow to Wireless.
If ATV had not focused its development on the mainland in recent years and did not pay much attention to the Hong Kong market, but if it were ATV that liked to fight with TVB in the 1990s, TVB would have been defeated by now.
…
"In the next few years, we should reserve talents." Xiang Nan pointed out Wang Jing and Shanshan, "With the influx of capital, competition in the mainland will become more and more fierce, and film salaries will also rise higher and higher. If we don't If there are enough talents, it is likely that no one will be available by then.”
Wang Jing nodded. He still remembered how prosperous the entertainment industry in Hong Kong was and how fierce the competition was in the late 1980s and early 1990s with the influx of Taiwanese capital into Hong Kong.
The big-name stars at that time had no free time at all and had to rush to shoot several movies at the same time.
For example, when Zheng Yuling was at her strongest, she took on nine films and was known as the Zheng Jiu Group; Wu Junru filmed sixteen films in one year, with an average of one film released every three weeks...
Also because there are so many dramas, and all the crews are waiting to start shooting, stars are always up for grabs. The production manager drove the car directly to the downstairs of the star's house and took the car with him when he saw someone, so that the star didn't even have time to take a shower.
Although ATV and Real Kung Fu are strong, there are also large companies in the mainland, especially those with capital who don’t care about money. Therefore, if there is not enough talent reserve, when the time comes, all the big-name stars will be snatched away by others, and there is a real possibility that they will have no one available.
"Mr. Ning, we have all remembered your instructions." Wang Jing nodded.
"Yes, brother, we will care." Shanshan also nodded.
…
After meeting these old friends, Xiang Nan made an appointment with Tang Wei.
Tang Wei graduated from the Chinese Opera Directing Department. After graduation, he starred in several film and television dramas, but unfortunately he never became popular. It wasn't until she was selected by director Li An to star in "Lust, Caution" in 2007 that she became an instant hit.
However, this movie also put her under a lot of pressure. Therefore, not long after filming this film, she went to the University of Reading in the UK for further study, and she just came back this year.
Xiang Nan has watched the movie "Lust, Caution" and to be honest, it was pretty good. Especially those three large-scale scenes were indeed shot very boldly.
This also made Xiang Nan interested in Tang Wei.
"Hello, Miss Tang~" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Hello Mr. Ning, it's an honor to meet you." Tang Wei said with a smile, but he didn't expect Xiang Nan to ask her out.
"You're welcome, please take a seat." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "I heard Director Li An mention you a long time ago. He praised you for your good acting skills, your obedience, and your willingness to sacrifice for art. You are very good."
"Thank you." Tang Wei said immediately, "Actually, I haven't done enough. Mr. Ning, you and Director Li are my role models. I hope that one day, I can be as famous as you and Director Li."
"You are right to have such ambition, but if you want to achieve such a goal, you should continue to work hard." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Director Li and I have also put in a lot of hard work to be where we are today. Achievements."
"Yes, Mr. Ning, thank you for your teaching. I will definitely continue to work hard." Tang Wei nodded.
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, "I happen to be staying in Xiangjiang for a few days. If you don't mind me being a nagging old man, just stay with me for a few days and talk with me to relieve your boredom."
"Of course, but you are not old." Tang Wei pursed his lips and smiled, "We walk together and say you are my boyfriend, there is no problem at all."
"Really, am I still so charming as an old man?" Xiang Nan laughed.
"Of course, I don't know how lucky I am to be your girlfriend." Tang Wei complimented.
"You can talk." Xiang Nan smiled, "Well, there happens to be a Chinese character in "Jurassic Park 6". If you don't dislike it, it's yours."
"Thank you, Mr. Ning." Tang Wei said happily after hearing this.
The "Jurassic Park" series, the least-grossing movie, has a global box office of over $400 million. "Jurassic Park 6" is the final chapter of the series. Out of this feeling, those fans will go to the theater to support it.
By then, this movie will definitely do well at the box office. And she will also use this movie to enter the international stage, and maybe she will become a world-class star.
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
…
Xiang Nan stayed in Xiangjiang for a week, and then returned to the United States with Tang Wei.
After returning, he began preparations for "Fast and Furious 5" and attended the Oscars in March.
At this year's Oscars, Xiang Nan invited Rosamund Pike to walk on the red carpet.
Rosamund Pike, whose Chinese name is Pei Chunhua, was born in 1979. She starred in "Die Another Day" in 2002 and is the youngest Bond girl.
After that, he successively starred in "Hustlers", "Pride and Prejudice", "Future Men", etc., but unfortunately he did not repeat the success of "007: Die Another Day".
Xiang Nan asked her to walk on the red carpet because he wanted her to film "Captain America" and play Agent Carter in it.
