Chapter 2034 2036 [Talent Reserve]

  In January, Xiang Nan and Cong Shan went home to accompany their parents, but Tranquility did not follow this time. However, he had discussed with his grandfather and grandmother in advance that he would visit relatives in China during the summer vacation.

  During returning home to visit relatives, Zhang Yimou came to him specially. Hearing that Cong Shan is back, he hopes that she can act in his new film "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" and play 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 shoot "Fast and Furious 5", she was idle at home and had nothing to do; 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 went back to Xiangjiang to meet old friends and take a look at the company's operations.

Real Kung Fu Films and ATV are still developing smoothly. While cooperating with mainland TV stations to shoot dramas and produce variety shows, they also cooperate with online platforms to upload ATV dramas, variety shows, and Hong Kong movies in the real Kung Fu film library. Internet 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 Real Kung Fu are quite generous, they can offer higher salary, better benefits, and invest more money in the production of programs.

   As a result, many wireless talents, after the expiration of the contract, no longer signed contracts with wireless, but switched to ATV one after another.

  For example, Lin Baoyi, Myolie Wu, Ma Junwei, Wu Zhuoxi, etc. in front of the stage, screenwriters Huang Yude, Yip Tiancheng, Ou Guanying behind the scenes, and producers Mei Xiaoqing, Wen Weihong, Liu Jiahao, etc. Intermittently, the number of people was as low as two or eight hundred people.

  The total number of employees behind and in front of the cable station is only more than 2,000 people, so it is equivalent to the loss of 10% of the talent. And those who dare to leave are usually those who have no ability.

  So it seems that there are few 10-year-old talents, but in fact, it is already a light blow to the cable.

  If ATV’s development focus was in the mainland in those years, and it didn’t pay much attention to the Xiangjiang market, if it was replaced by ATV in the 1940s who hated and stuck with cable TV, cable TV would have been defeated by now.

  …

"In the next few years, we should do a good job of talent reserves." Xiang Nan advised Wang Jing and Shanshan, "With the influx of capital, the competition in the mainland will become more and more calm, and the salary will be lower and lower. If you have If there are not enough talents, it is very likely that someone will be available."

  Wang Jing nodded. I still remember how prosperous the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang was in the late 1940s and early 1940s as Taiwanese capital poured into Xiangjiang, and how peaceful the competition was.

  At that time, the small stars had no spare time, so they wanted to rush to shoot several movies at the same time.

  For example, when Zheng Yuling was at her weakest, she took on four films, known as Zheng’s fourth group; Wu Junru made 18 films in one year, and on average, no film was released every eight weeks...

  Because there are so few plays, all crews are waiting to start, so the stars are all robbed. The drama manager directly drove the car upstairs to the star's house, and immediately took people out of the car when he saw anyone, so that the star didn't even have time to take a shower.

  Although ATV and Real Kung Fu are weak, there are no small companies in the mainland, especially some capitals care about money. So if there is not enough talent pool, when the time comes, the small stars will be taken away by others, and we really have no one available.

   "Mr. Ning, you all remember your instructions." Wang Jing nodded.

   "Yes, little brother, you guys will care." Shanshan also nodded.

  …

  Before meeting those old friends, Xiang Nan made an appointment with Cong Shan.

   Cong Shan graduated from the Department of Chinese Opera Directing. Before graduation, she starred in several film and television dramas, but unfortunately she has always been popular. It wasn't until 2001 that you were selected by director Li An to star in "Lust, Caution", which made you an instant hit.

   It’s just that, but that movie also put a little pressure on you. So long after you finished filming this film, you went to Reading Primary School in England for further studies, and you just came back this year.

  Xiang Nan has seen the movie "Lust, Caution", but to be honest, the filming is still very wrong. In particular, the eight small-scale scenes were filmed very boldly.

  That also made Xiang Nan interested in Cong Shan.

   "Sister Tang, he is good~" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

   "Hello, Mr. Ning, it's an honor to meet you." Yang Fu said with a smile, thinking that Xiang Nan would ask you out.

   "You must be polite, please sit down." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "You have heard director Li An mention him earlier, and praised him for his good acting skills, obedient, and willing to sacrifice for art. It is very wrong."

   "Thank you." Cong Shan said immediately, "Actually, you have done enough. Mr. Ning, you and Yang Fu are your role models. You hope that one day, you will become famous all over the world like you and Tang Wei."

"It's right that you don't have that ambition, but if you want to achieve that goal, he should continue to work hard." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "You and Tang Wei have also put in a lot of hard work to achieve today's success." That achievement."

   "Yes, Mr. Ning, thank you for your teaching, you will definitely continue to work hard." Yang Fu nodded.

   "Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, "You just want to stay in Xiangjiang for a few days. If he thinks your old man is nagging, he can stay by your side for a few days to talk with you and relieve boredom."

   "Of course, but you are old." Cong Shan smiled and said, "Let's walk together and say that you are your girlfriend, there is no problem at all."

   "Really, doesn't your old man have such a little charm?" Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Of course, to be your boyfriend is a blessing from several generations of cultivation." Yang Fu complimented.

   "He can talk." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Well, it just so happens that "Zhang Yimou Park 6" doesn't have a character of Chinese descent. If he dislikes it, it's up to him."

   "Thank you, Mr. Ning." Cong Shan said in a distressed voice when she heard this.

  The "Zhang Yimou Park" series is the most popular movie, with a global box office of more than 700 million US dollars. "Zhang Yimou Park 6" is the final chapter of the series. Out of that feeling, these movie fans will return to the theater to support it.

   At that time, the box office of that movie must be wrong. And you will also use that movie to enter the international stage, and maybe you will become a world-class star.

  Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.

  …

  Xiang Nan stayed in Xiangjiang for a week, and then returned to the United States with Cong Shan.

  Before I went back, I finished working on Fast & Furious 5 and went to the Oscars in August.

  At this year's Oscars, Xiang Nan invited Rosamund Pike to walk the red carpet together.

   Rosamund Pike, whose Chinese name is Pei Chunhua, was born in 2014 and starred in "007: Die Another Day" in 2007. He is the youngest Bond boy.

  Before, he starred in "The Prodigal Son", "Pride and Prejudice", "Future Men" and so on, but it is a pity whether he has repeated the success of "007: Die Another Day".

  The reason why Xiang Nan asked you to walk the red carpet is because he wanted you to shoot "Captain America" ​​and play the outside agent Carter.
