Chapter 372 Insult me, but not in China

In order to build a good relationship between Zeng Li and Nortel, Fang Nan set up two tables after his speech, and invited Nortel professor Tian Zhuangzhuang, director Lin Hao, Guo Fan and others to have a casual meal.

On the way, Mr. Feng, a frequent guest of the Spring Festival Gala, got the news and came to have a meal with his two apprentices.

He is the art director of the National Broadcasting Art Troupe. Last year, he held a cross talk class and also affiliated with Nortel. He is the same as the rising sun, saying that the two are so close.

Fang Nan didn't take it seriously at all, a cross talk actor known to the common people all over the country, with such a powerful background, he was close to Xuri.

After calmly toasting the other party with a few glasses of wine, Teacher Feng begged to explain his intentions.

In recent years, the cross talk market has gotten better.

But it has nothing to do with traditional cross talk. The most popular on the market is the Deyun series, which is not taboo about meat and vegetables.

As a traditional cross talk artist, Teacher Feng is very anxious. The cross talk performers in the art troupe, the students in the cross talk class, and the apprentices all have to work and eat to support their families.

So when he learned that Fangnan Culture and Pujiang TV station were planning to create a variety show called "Happy Comedian", Mr. Feng paid attention. He came to Changping without bringing his two apprentices, Bai Kainan and Jia Ling.

"If you don't look for me, the column team will also go to the broadcasting group to find actors. "Happy Comedian" focuses on comedy programs such as cross talk, sketches, and talk shows, and Bai Kainan and Jia Ling should also be on the Spring Festival Gala this year. If you are a star, you will definitely receive an invitation."

Teacher Feng: "Hey, Fang Nan, don't put them on the fire. What big stars, it's not enough. Boy Bai is fine after the Spring Festival Gala. Jia Ling is probably too fat. This year's Spring Festival Gala is a waste of time. "

The silent Jia Ling looked ashamed, and Fang Nan smiled when he saw it: "Maybe it will be a lucky turn of events after finishing "Happy Comedian". In our line of work, being fat has its advantages, at least it can leave an impression on people. The most fearful thing is to stand in the crowd without any distinctive features.”

Fang Nan didn't have much impression of Jia Ling's sketches and cross talk, but what impressed him was "Hello Li Huanying" directed by Jia Ling, and her performance on variety shows.

What do people say?

Overall impression of him is pretty good!

In particular, her emotional intelligence is very high. Her debut work "My Good Li Huanying" won more than 50 billion box office and defeated countless big directors. After receiving countless flowers and applause, she was not too arrogant and defiant.

On the contrary, he has always regarded himself as a rookie director in fear and trepidation.

I also humbly accept some criticism from the outside world, and what I do is hard to make people disgusted.

As for the production company Jingcheng Culture behind the more than 50 billion box office, it stinks.

Beijing Culture was originally a tourism company, but after its qualifications were banned, it turned into film and television.

Because of the rich experience in marketing scenic spots and the stock price pressure of listed companies, whenever a film produced and invested by the company lands in theaters, it is always marketed frantically, and the caliber is quite uniform—and the tone is quite loud—the rise of Huaxia Film!
The audience who engage in it does not watch the films produced by his company, but they do not support domestic films, as if they are sorry for domestic films.

Bona is similar to the marketing of Jingcheng Culture. In the film and television industry in the post-Huayi era, Bona and Jingcheng Culture can be called the marketing duo of the film industry.

The former frantically consumes patriotic themes and patriotic enthusiasm, while the latter promotes the rise of domestic films, drives up the company's stock price with super high box office, and then harvests a wave of stock investors.

The two companies really understand the four-corner relationship between marketing-audience-movie box office-stockholders.

Compared with the marketing methods of the two companies, in the early years, the film companies used hype, special effects, fighting, funny and other elements to market movies, which is a younger brother!
Fortunately, some institutions in the country were calm and punished when they should be punished. Before Fang Nan was reborn, Shuangzi, who was backed by the culture of the capital, was completely cold.

After dinner, Fang Nan arranged for Jia Ling and the two to find Ma Li, while he went to the construction site of the Beijing Performing Arts Center by himself.

Wu Jie came out to welcome her: "We can open for business during the Spring Festival next year."

Fang Nan covered the light with one hand and glanced at the huge performing arts center, thinking that next year it would be full of jewels, nodded happily, and looked at Wu Jie: "You should be the general manager from today, and the future operations will be left to you. Ask Yan Hong, Lu Qing and others if you don’t understand.”

Wu Jie's ability is a little weaker, but no matter how good the performing arts center is, there will be no major mistakes. If you do the accounts well and choose the programs well, you are a qualified general manager.

Saying goodbye to Wu Jie, Fang Nan was too lazy to go to Fang Nan Culture, which had only one office left. Not long ago, Fang Nan Culture and Dream Literature had moved to the Oriental Movie Metropolis.

It was also very difficult to move. Fangnan Culture and Dream Literature are also big taxpayers, so they left like this, and someone has to take responsibility.

For this reason, several groups of people promised Fang Nan and Yan Hong great profits.

Fang Nan really couldn't agree, several companies poured so much money into Dongfang Film Metropolis in order to have their own office space, how could it be possible to waste money and chase after waste.

He also did not evacuate all the properties under his name in the capital.

Isn't Happy Twist, the Tianqiao Performing Arts Center completed at the end of the year, and several real estate properties also an industry.

Stayed at home with my daughter for two days, and then flew to Xiangjiang to meet Gao Yuanyuan and his son, and after learning about the film festival in July, Fang Nan found that everything was going well. Fang Nan flew from Xiangjiang to New York.

When he arrived in New York, Fang Nan first met Liu Qianxi who had arrived earlier at the hotel.

The next day, the two met with agent Lilith to meet Susan Collins, the writer and screenwriter of "The Hunger Games".

As soon as they met in the cafe, Collins complained: "Fang, I shouldn't take your money. The Asian heroine has affected the sales of "The Hunger Games."

"How do you know?" Fang Nan smiled: "The script has been written, can I read it?"

Fang Nan had heard this kind of rhetoric too much. It was nothing more than the novel "The Hunger Games" becoming popular. He felt that the contract he signed last year was a loss, and wanted to ask for more money.

Fang Nan didn't want to talk to the other party.

But you can't make the relationship deadlocked and expect Collins to continue writing the novel.

Therefore, Fang Nan slightly revealed that if the box office of the first "Hunger Games" is good, the copyright fee for the next film can be increased appropriately.

Fang Nan signed the supplementary contract, Collins took out the script contentedly, Fang Nan glanced at it, and was a little dissatisfied.

When you write a script, you just write the plot of the story. Why do you always write irrelevant plots? What happens to the country is none of your business.
Collins was very upset and retorted extremely angrily: She is not a puppet, she is a thinking person, and she grew up here.

She also asked Fang Nan loudly how she would educate Wan Zhuo, who was on the cover of Time Magazine.

Do you encourage your daughter to do everything right, or criticize her when she makes a mistake?

If it was the former, Collins said with disgust, Fang Nan's doting would sooner or later put his daughter in jail.

If it's the latter, Fang Nan should understand her script full of allusions.

In the end, Collins firmly stated that after the release of "The Hunger Games", audiences who understand the criticism will understand that she really loves it, so they will go to the cinema to support the film.

Fang Nan sneered, a maid from earlier cared about her master's life and death!
Without "The Hunger Games", you Collins is still working hard as an office worker, making a few bucks, this guy is ridiculous.

But he is the director, and he found an inappropriate plot during filming and changed it directly.

If it doesn't work, fans who directly learn from JK Rowling will kick the original author out of the group.

With a plan in mind, Fang Nan no longer had any more BBs, and introduced Liu Qianqian to Collins. In the next few days, the two of them will discuss the plot and heroine setting of "The Hunger Games" with each other.

"I went to Los Angeles. While you are studying the characters, you are practicing martial arts, archery and so on."

When Collins went to the bathroom, Liu Qianqian said, "Collins doesn't seem to like me very much."

"Leave her alone, we have a priority contract to purchase subsequent copyrights, and she can't decide anything. I'm kind enough to her. If it were a Hollywood company, 50 copyrights for the first "Hunger Games" would be good."

After Fang Nan finished speaking in Mandarin and got up, Lilith hurriedly said, "The president of WMA wants to meet you."

"Not interested." Fang Nan flatly refused.

When the president of wma met him, he would either eat and drink to get to know each other better, or think about adding actors to his crew, Fang Nan didn't like this.

When "The Martian" lands in North America in 4 months, he will probably become the most important customer of WMA. At that time, the president of WMA will take the initiative to fly to the place where he is available to invite him to dinner instead of letting him fly to a certain place.

After parting with Liu Qianqian, Fang Nan flew to Burbank, California with his assistant and Lilith.

Burbank is also known as the media capital, and the most famous local enterprise is the Disney headquarters.

After getting off the plane, I rushed to the Warner branch to meet with the propaganda team led by Mao Jianguo, and the sky darkened.

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to the studio of ABC radio station to record the talk show "Vision". These are some introductions about the five hostesses of "Vision" and the content of the program. You can watch it in the evening. I have something to talk about tomorrow. I have to get off work."

Mao Jianguo stuffed Fang Nan with a document, put on his suit and left. Fang Nan glanced at Lilith: "I invite you to dinner, tell me what kind of program it is."

""Vision" is a morning talk show hosted by five women with different occupations. There are more female audiences, and it is relatively popular in China."

"The format of the program is also a chat, and various topics will be covered. There are two hostesses who are more sharp."

Fang Nan nodded, and pushed open a Michelin restaurant with a Christmas tree at the door.

"Fry a few steaks, two lobsters, two French dishes at will, and two bottles of red wine." After sitting down, he said to the waiter.

Secretary Zhu took the initiative to get up: "Boss, I'm going to choose a bar."

It's not because he's afraid of being drugged, but because he's afraid of being slaughtered.

It was his first time abroad, and he didn’t know the prices in the United States. He was even more afraid that the owner of the restaurant would buy a few bottles of 82 Lafite. The 82 Lafite had been on the market for decades, but he couldn’t finish it. will be surprised.

It's just a meal, there are not so many weird things, the three of them ate everything and went straight to the hotel that was booked in advance.

On the second night in North America, Fang Nan had already adjusted to the jet lag. After two long phone calls with his family, he went online to browse the recent major news in the United States, and then fell asleep.

The next day.

Fang Nan got up early to wash up, read two newspapers in the hotel lobby with Secretary Zhu, and finally waited until Lilith came downstairs.

"I admire you Chinese people very much. It seems that you are full of energy all the time and are busy with work instead of enjoying life."

Fang Nan pursed his lips and smiled, who is so cheap and doesn't like to enjoy themselves, but Huaxia has always developed itself through the hard work of the people of the whole country, and the United States has developed itself by robbing others, can it be the same.

The old Western powers do not have the strength to rob but still enjoy super high benefits. They seem to be living chicly, but they will collapse sooner or later.

"Hey, Fang, it's time for us to go." Mao Jianguo came.

Fang Nan put down the newspaper in his hand and smoothed out any wrinkles in the high-end cotton suit: "Let's go."

American ABC radio station is one of the three major radio stations in the United States. It is an industry owned by Disney. It looks tall and noble on the outside. The interior layout is no different from that of domestic SMG and other TV stations. There are column groups and studios.

The biggest difference may be that ABC's employees are more casual, flirting with female colleagues, and drinking coffee with their legs crossed, which may also have something to do with just going to work.

The "Vision" that Fang Nan participated in was a high-rated program on ABC, and it was also a live broadcast, so the program team had a lot of demands, and Fang Nan just gave Fang Nan a face.

Not only that, even asked to wear lipstick, blush.

After the make-up artist finished, Fang Nan looked in the mirror, he was a motherfucker, he was still a human being, and he went on TV with this image, not to mention uglifying himself, but also embarrassing the people of the country and embarrassing the country.

Finding that the make-up was so ugly, Fang Nan stretched out his sleeves and wiped off all the lipstick and powder on his own in front of the director before going on stage.

The director of the program group with glasses with a Mediterranean hairstyle immediately became furious: "What, what are you doing?"

Fang Nan's face was calm, but his chest was full of anger: "I'll fuck your mother, either I will go on stage like this, or I will leave now, you guys go to the preparatory show."

At the same time, Secretary Zhu, Mao Jianguo, and Lilith, who heard the quarrel in the lounge, ran in. Seeing Fang Nan, who looked like a cat with a colorful face, Secretary Zhu angrily said to Mao Jianguo: "Mr. makeup on stage."

"ok, ok."

Mao Jianguo urgently communicated with the program director while asking Lilith to quickly remove Fang Nan's make-up.

Mao Jianguo is also very angry. He is a member of Warner who did not go to his own Fox TV station to record the program. He came to ABC first, which is enough to give ABC face. The program group is still messing up. Others, a multi-billion dollar billionaire, are turned into ghosts by you , what are you doing.

After the urgent coordination between the two parties, Fang Nan appeared on the stage with a plain face when the five hostesses chatted for about 10 minutes.

After taking the stage, Fang Nan first demonstrated the bottle cap kicking activity he initiated on the spot, awakening the memories of the American people that had been dusty for several months.

After that, he was mopped up by several hosts and showed off his muscles.

"Hey, Fang, do you think we're noisy and uncomfortable on such an open show? We all know that Huaxia is very closed and backward."

Fang Nan frowned and looked at the white hostess named Abby, and finally smiled, "No, the five of you have more questions than my daughter asks me."

"Moreover, Huaxia is not closed. Our country welcomes law-abiding people from all over the world to travel and enjoy Chinese food. Huaxia's poverty alleviation work has also made long-term progress in recent years, and ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment."

Abby: "Hey, that's not what's on the news, maybe it's just your idea of ​​being a rich guy."

"All I can say is, you keep watching fake news. Western media has been smearing my country for decades."

Fang Nan's smile disappeared completely. He had been reminded that the scope of chatting in "Vision" was so wide that it could be said to have no boundaries, but he never expected that Abby, as the host, could look down on a country so blatantly.

In this way, like a puppet, a person who has no independent thinking can also be a host?

In order to express his dissatisfaction, Fang Nan especially emphasized the pronunciation of the word "Motherland", wanting to warn the other party that enough is enough.

Just then, another white female host Megan laughed and said, "I've also heard that you can convict people without trial."

Either watching the news or hearing about it, and this set of funny remarks specially used to smear others, Fang Nan suddenly ignited the anger that had just been extinguished in his chest.

Sitting by the table, he clenched his right fist and punched the disc on the table. After a "bang", the glass disc broke into many pieces immediately, and blood flowed from his right fist.

The five hostesses fell down on the sofa behind them with expressions of horror.

With Fang Nan's action, many housewives in front of the TV were shocked to drop the pots and pans.

Looking at Fang Nan again, he stared at Abby and Megan coldly: "You can insult me, but you can't insult my motherland! It's hard for me to believe that a real host would take a lie seriously and laugh shamelessly Speak out."

"Why can you slander a country so wantonly with a b-face? Why don't you lower your head and look at the land you are in?"

"More than a month ago, on January 1, a judge and a six-year-old child in the United States died of gun violence. There are as many as 8 people."

"It is always said that we are behind. Why don't you go out on the street and ask those homeless people why they don't go home?"

"How many wars are waged in this land you live in? You have guns, drugs, children, people in constant danger, and your politicians don't want to solve their own problems, but hypocritically question my country like this and that ?”

"Most countries in the world are groping to move forward. There will be twists and turns and problems during the period, but the vision is always to want their own people to live better. Only you, the United States, want to mess up the whole world, so that you can be more generous. plunder other countries."

The show was still going on, but Secretary Xiao Zhu rushed up regardless of the obstruction: "Mr. Fang, wrap your hands first, and go to the hospital quickly."

In his heart, even if Fang Nan can't get along in the United States, he is still his boss in China, and he still cares about breaking the show.

"Damn it, I'm only on the show to promote the movie, these bastards must make me angry."

Secretary Xiao Zhu was startled. It was the first time he had seen Fang Nan get so angry, spouting obscenities. In his eyes, it was not an exaggeration to describe Fang Nan as gentle, courteous and thrifty.
