Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 179 Master Xu Broken Hearts for the Development of 'Xu Men' (2 in 1)
"..."

Of course Xu Nian would not forget why he came to New York in a hurry.

In comparison, all the world's "famous paintings" and so on that happened before are just floating clouds.

Meeting with the Paramount team to implement Tang Detective 2's North American distribution cooperation is the real business today.

At least at present, there is no easier harvest than Tang Detective 2 released in North America... There is no matter to undertake this wave of popularity.

There is nothing more appropriate and more in line with the interests of multiple parties than this.

You can't go to the Kennedy Airport to pick up the "leisure and leisurely" there are, and you can spend 8 or 9 dollars to go to the theater to support the movie~
If not, then...

Then you must pay attention to picking up Angela, Julia and other Hollywood stars at the airport in the morning.

It must be that they bought the fake popularity for appearance!

Let's put it this way, serious American groupies are much crazier than domestic entertainment and all Asian groupies.

In Asia, Xu will at most encounter offline sex, but in America, if he is not careful, he will encounter false sex.

Some European and American male stars were directly bitten by fans in public.

We are all human beings, with certain similarities in behavior and thoughts. The more open social atmosphere in Europe and the United States will only make similar groups crazier.

Why are European and American people chasing stars rationally?
nonexistent.

If that's the case, how do some civilian stars in Europe and the United States earn luxury cars and private jets.

An inappropriate simple example, where there is an impulse to buy at zero yuan, how can there be real idlers~
In short, based on the enthusiasm for public opinion created by all parties around the world yesterday and today, the wave of truth at the airport in the morning is relatively restrained.

It was just a little out of order, and didn't go straight to Xu Nian.

However, the previous luncheon made Xu Nian see more clearly that the European and American regions of the capital are far more special than expected... Interests!
Internal entertainment is indeed subjectively bent on promoting Chinese culture to the world from the perspective of the entertainment industry.

At present, Xu Nian has the possibility of pointing to the face, so Tianyue didn't show up, and some people spontaneously took the initiative to create momentum.

Correspondingly, Europe and the United States, especially Hollywood, are purely salivating at China, the world's largest consumer market.

Moreover, everyone is neither blind nor stupid.

They also know who is the most popular in Chinese entertainment.

Hollywood, which is far more industrialized than domestic entertainment, has a more detailed and comprehensive statistical dimension.

The analysis of the actual support status of black fans, fans, and passers-by will only be more thorough!

So, before Tang Detective 2 is released in North America, Mr. Xu will not actually cooperate with European and American stars.

As for talking about it verbally... Hey, what are you doing~
Anyway, everyone is just supporting the scene now, giving some public opinion heat.

Xu Nian is a star in Huaguo, and he has an innate sense of mission to 'protect the world's best internal entertainment fans'.

Even if he really wanted leeks, he had to do it himself.

Fans of domestic entertainment have to get up in the middle of the night and say: He is real, I cried to death.

Of course, if the pioneers like Angela and Julia, including 'French Rose' Aunt Green, Hollywood's Christine and Scarlett want to exchange performances with Xu, then welcome.

Mr. Xu must show the most friendly attitude and the most open attitude to persuade them to become members of the "Xu family"~
'Xumen' needs them.

Really.

…………

Later at three o'clock, Xu Nian followed Li Cheng and Lin Shu to meet the Paramount team in a conference room of the hotel.

Interestingly, the one with the dominant authority in the team is a Chinese.

Chinese is good.

This is very friendly to Xu Nian. You don’t have to wait for the translation to be transcribed again, and you have to pretend to be Yazi who listens carefully~
*╭(˙˙)╯*
Once at the table, it is inevitable to exchange common greetings.

After all, even Li Cheng only had a few phone calls with Paramount and never met anyone.

After all, Paramount is headquartered in Hollywood, and Hollywood is not in New York, but in California.

On the opposite side, Mr. Qi from Paramount laughed and said, "I've watched the first part of Director Li's Detective Chinatown several times..."

"The plot of the detective is exquisitely designed, which makes me feel like watching Sherlock Holmes..."

"What's even more commendable is that it balances suspenseful clues and light comedy scenes very well, expanding the audience..."

After talking, Mr. Qi looked at Xu Nian: "Among them, Mr. Xu Nian's acting skills naturally add a lot to the drama..."

"Therefore, we have very good expectations for cooperating with you, but..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Qi paused for a moment, glanced at everyone present, and said seriously: "If it's convenient, we hope that we can briefly understand the plot outline of the second part."

"I also ask Mr. Li and Mr. Xu to understand that we also need to be responsible for the content."

Of course Xu Nian wouldn't answer the call.

In this kind of scene, it is fine for others to be present, and the top stream is like this. Most of the time, the main role is a supporting role.

Maybe other top-notch people think that this is not taken seriously enough, but Xu Nian doesn't at all.

He is very used to this feeling of not being taken seriously, and he has an aesthetic feeling that he can earn a pension without doing anything.

Many people don't like Wen Shan Hui Hai, but Mr. Xu actually does not resist.

Someone puts so much effort into performing the wonderful scenes in life, it is no more interesting than watching a day with a cup of tea and a word~
For example, now, this Mr. Qi from Paramount puts his best efforts into performing some twists and turns, isn't it interesting to watch.

This is actually a relatively simple distribution cooperation that requires a brief synopsis of the plot.

Isn't the focus of the negotiation on this matter the distribution of benefits for the release?

It's not that Paramount wants to participate in the production and talk about the plot of Gouba.

Li Cheng next to him is also like a bright mirror in his heart, but he still said briefly: "It is fully connected with the first part."

"Added more New York Chinatown features... If Mr. Qi is interested, you can take the time to go to the crew to see it first."

Mr. Qi was stunned for a moment: "That's unnecessary, since it is fully connected, I believe it must be very exciting."

Then the topic changed, and he said: "I heard about the grand occasion of Mr. Xu's arrival in New York on the plane that came. I wonder what Mr. Xu thinks about the market prospect of the second film in North America?"

Facing Mr. Qi's gaze, Xu Nian spread his hands out in a gesture: "I'm really sorry, I don't understand the market personally."

Mr. Qi: "..."

He was stunned for the second time, always feeling that the way the plot developed was very different from what he had imagined.

When this kind of topic is mentioned normally, don't you always talk with eloquence, present facts and reason, and talk nonsense?

Why are you so straightforward?

If you don’t understand, you have to pretend to understand! Hey!
.........

Although there were some small twists and turns, they still did not affect the foundation of friendly consultations between the two sides.

He joined the negotiation with the foreigner sitting next to Mr. Qi at the back... It has a lot to do with it.

A lot of unnecessary content was omitted at once, and the benefit distribution consultation was directly launched.

Of course, pulling is also indispensable.

But the nature is completely different.

Both parties have put up 12 points of energy, and each has a certain expected value to calculate the profit and loss of profit distribution.

More importantly, Paramount actually hopes to obtain the IP authorization of Tang Detective 2 in the entire North American market.

It was the part that Li Cheng was looking forward to, but didn't dare to let go easily.

After the talks were almost complete, the two parties began to discuss the detailed terms one by one.

Xu Nian and Li Cheng went to another meeting room to breathe.

He looked much more relaxed.

Looking at Li Cheng, Xu Nian seldom teased: "Paramount is far away in California, and the distance between Paramount and New York almost spans the entire America. Are you sure this wave didn't encounter fake Li ghosts? It feels like a joke."

"Don't worry, I have experience." Li Cheng waved his hand and said solemnly.

Xu Nian's curiosity was immediately aroused: "What experience?"

"I've been lied to!" Li Cheng immediately replied confidently.

Xu Nian: "..."

6!

Glancing at Xu Nian, Li Cheng suddenly became interested: "I'll teach you a very practical experience..."

"The most common thing to encounter when going abroad is not 'the eyes of the fellows are tearful', but 'the fellows see the fellows and don't talk about it'."

"As long as you can enter other countries, most of the time, the ones who will embarrass you to the greatest extent are basically Chinese."

After listening, Xu Nian couldn't help but smile: "You know the way, don't you?"

"Yes." Li Cheng nodded, "So 'Mr. Qi' is the normal experience when you go abroad."

So, Xu Nian gossiped enthusiastically, "How did you get this experience by being cheated?"

"600 U.S....what can I say, this is the experience of someone who has been here, it's really worth it!" Li Cheng almost didn't shout.

Xu Nian nodded in agreement.

No laughing at all.

I really didn't laugh.

It's not that he is funny, but he is looking in the mirror. When his work unit organized a cross-border exchange, he was defrauded of 800 dollars as soon as he left the house.

…………

…………

The negotiation with Paramount went smoothly on the whole, and the two sides quickly signed a cooperation memorandum.

Of course, it won't be a fake Paramount as Xu Nian jokingly mentioned.

Li Cheng is a mature director, a director with rich experience, and a director who has been cheated.

I really can't step on the same pit a second time.

Back in the hotel room, Xu Nian took a nap again, and at 8 o'clock in the evening, he attended the welcome dinner inside the crew.

It's not Xu Nian's liver that is really good for running long distances and being able to socialize one after another.

But the journey is not tiring.

Even because Master Xu spent so much time in the "world" on the plane, he managed to achieve a reasonable balance between work and rest.

Accompanied by Meng Chao, Xu Nian walked into the banquet hall of the hotel. Looking around, there were mostly familiar faces.

I just feel that the atmosphere is lively.

People of yellow race still look friendly.

Soon, Li Chengju introduced two or three new main members to Xu Nian.

"Hello, Teacher Xu." Huang Zhongqiang greeted with a smile, "Huang Zhongqiang, nice to meet you."

Xu Nian smiled again and again, "Hello, Teacher Huang."

Huang Zhongqiang plays the villain's little boss "Lu Guofu" in Tang Detective 2, and he is also a very important funny role in the play.

His way of acting has always been more funny.

Then there is probably the female character with the most roles...Wang Yu who plays Chen Ying.

It was also someone Xu Nian had never met before.

Both Huang Zhongqiang and Wang Yu are lesser-known actors, and they belong to the kind that everyone can't think of when they mention it suddenly.

Li Cheng favored this type of players in the casting of roles other than leading roles.

Nothing else, the main reason is that the salary will not be very high, and it belongs to the powerful way, with guarantees in all aspects.

And then there is an extra in Neon.

And Xu Nian's fourth rumored girlfriend, Shao Manning, a senior music student who stayed in Tianxuan Building.

Her role in the film is the hacker KIKO.

Although he hasn't officially appeared on the show yet, he's doing well in the crew, at least he hasn't been 'excluded'.

and also……

Xu Nian took the initiative to raise his glass and clinked with the person: "Old Yang, do you have a way, why are you everywhere, take me with you."

"Isn't Brother Shu the same?" Yang Xiao really wanted to fight, "Why don't you ask Brother Shu first?"

Xu Nian pursed his lips, and said in a vague manner, "It's different. I've only filmed three movies in total, and you're all leading roles. It's really unusual."

Yang Xiao said solemnly: "Then do you think there is a possibility that my acting skills are good?"

"Impossible!" Xu Nian replied decisively, "You have never won the best actor!"

Yang smiled: "..."

I really appreciate you, because of you...

"Okay, okay, because my salary is not high, it's okay to be affordable!"

"My salary is also low. Tang Detective 2 only gave me 800 million film sets."

"Listen to your fart, now you don't care about salary!"

"Why don't you like it?"

"..."

Talking to Yang Xiaoji, Xu Nian suddenly thought: "Hey~ I will make another literary film this year, you won't still be the leading role, right?"

Yang Xiao replied firmly: "No."

"This is obviously for the golden rooster actor. It is impossible to partner with me. The level of aesthetic fatigue is very difficult."

"I guess it's some unexpected actor partner."

Xu Nian thought it made sense, so he sighed: "I'm really looking forward to it."

"Tang Detective 2, you haven't officially started filming, so you're looking forward to the next movie?" Li Cheng came over and interjected at some point.

Xu Nian looked at Li Cheng, and said nonchalantly, "It's not only no challenge to shoot the movie you directed, but you also have to guest star as an assistant director every day, and you don't pay me much money, so I can only look forward to the future."

"Think about it, you can't pass one shot twenty times, the director is furious, I...damn it, Li Cheng, you have done all kinds of bad things!"

Li Cheng: "??"

Yang Xiao and Lin Shu who came to watch the play looked at each other from the side.

They couldn't understand what was the source of Xu Nian's sudden excitement.

Looking at a few people, Xu Nian gritted his teeth and began to accuse: "I don't know how to act in the first place, so I'm all because of you, Li Cheng."

"You don't need to act whatever you want. Now it's all right. Netizens are devoid of conscience. Tianyue is helping the tyrants, so I insist on acting in literary films!"

"Literary and artistic films haven't had any box office yet. After two or three months of tossing, the actor and actress can't get it. You have a share of the netizens' teasing!"

As long as he thinks about this matter, he feels that he can't have a good dream at night.

Li Cheng: "..."

Yang smiled: "..."

Lin Shu: "..."

Then the three said in unison: "Brother, you worry too much!"

Immediately, Lin Shu said bluntly: "A good drama is a good one, regardless of commercial films, literary films, modern films or ancient films."

"That's right." Yang Xiao agreed deeply.

Li Cheng laughed: "Don't worry, you don't believe me, I believe you, there will be no problems at the scene."

Xu Nian still hesitated: "Are you sure?"

Seeing the three people nodding in unison, Xu Nian raised his eyebrows: "Then I can finally develop the 'Xu Men' with confidence."

As soon as the words fell, the three of them were dumbfounded.

"Fuck, what about playing?"

"How dare you say that you don't know how to act, you brat, and you've got us all involved with a few words!"

"You won't be the next Golden Rooster Best Actor, I'll go straight to the stall!"

"..."

.........

To continue to develop "Xumen", I had a whim after coming to New York and experienced a lot.

It's also related to Li Cheng's mention on the phone in advance that Shao Manning's situation can only go the way of 'Xumen'.

As for face slapping or something, it hasn't reached that point yet.

At least we have to wait for Xu's only 'enemy' in the film and television circle, Lu Mingkai's new movie release comprehensive results.

How should I put it, although business + art + big productions are all over the place, but everything is in case.

It is rumored that Lu Mingkai has been working hard on polishing the performance details of the film recently.

Privately and publicly stated that Xu Nian must be sniped at the next Golden Rooster Awards, and Xu Nian will be 'beheaded' directly.

As Lu Mingkai is a double actor, these words still have some weight.

In short, Xu Nian's desire to expand the "Xu family" also has a lot to do with this aspect.

He doesn't like arguments.

I don't like to compete with others. If I have the time, why not think about how to arrange a new lifestyle after moving into Tianhe Yunshu.

However, living in the world and being in the entertainment industry, all kinds of passive fame and fortune struggles are unavoidable.

Occasionally, Xu Nian also thought that if there is a 'Xu Men' who can fight, everyone should be able to shut up.

Li Shiqian is considered accomplished.

Now look at Chen Qi and Shao Manning's.

Once again getting the guarantee from professionals, Xu Nian became more confident in performing it.

…………

…………

To be honest...Xu Nian's number 3 is quite long.

Because of the time difference, almost 48 hours passed.

So much so that when Xu Nian got up from the bed the next day, he suddenly lamented that he seemed to have lived an extra day yesterday~
The time period for filming in New York is relatively tight. Unlike Tang Detective 1, almost all the scenes are completed here.

Therefore, if there is no special arrangement, work will start at 08:30 every morning.

Scarier than nine to five.

So, at early 8 o'clock in the morning, Xu Nian had already arrived on the set.

This is mainly related to the fact that he tore off the word 'late' from his dictionary.

Not because of this, he has been in the industry for three or four years and is well-known in the industry.

In the past, many event staff especially liked to cooperate with Xu Nian.

There are no bad reviews in private or in public.

Unlike other stars, who occasionally get picked up for diss...

Walking into today's set, Xu Qingnian walked to the monitor area familiarly.

After greeting the familiar executive director, Xu Nian said happily, "Brother, Li Cheng hasn't come yet, has he?"

At this moment, most of the executive director's attention was on Meng Chao who was fiddling with the wheelchair over there.

After a while, he looked back at Xu Nian and replied, "That's right, Director Li hasn't come yet."

Xu Nian clasped his arms and said, "Doesn't this old boy know that the leader arrives early? You should put his reward on my card."

"Second uncle, don't worry, we can deduct the money this time." Hearing this, the executive director suddenly became interested, "Set the rules for Director Li."

Xu Nian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and was about to answer the conversation when he caught sight of Shao Manning standing not far away, and greeted him, "Xiao Shao is here."

Only then did Shao Manning hurried forward a few steps: "Mr. Xu is good."

"Let's get used to being on the set."

"It's okay, I learned something, but I'm a bit stupid and can't turn the corner yet."

Xu Nian was noncommittal and just said, "Don't worry, let's try it out today and then we'll see. The 'Xu Men' method is very simple."

"Okay, okay." Shao Manning nodded again and again, "I have caused you trouble."

Of course she knew who she was messing with and who was covering her.

She also knows how hot her 'predecessors' are now.

Not to mention just being used for hype, she wants to be overtaken on her own initiative, and a few more times are fine.

After all, Shao Manning took the initiative to join the entertainment industry before graduating from university. She is a liar if she is not ambitious.

In addition, she used to hear that 'Xu Nian' was quite popular in the industry, but she didn't expect to be so arrogant.

After coming to New York, Shao Manning has been on the set. Although he only appeared in one or two scenes, he watched many scenes of Li Cheng's tyrant.

A super tyrant on set.

Look at Mr. Xu again, he was short of discussing with the executive director how to divide the money.

Just as Shao Manning walked a little further, Xu Nian sat in the wheelchair, adjusted and adjusted, and continued to beep with the executive director happily: "Look, it's already 08:30."

"Write it down, write it down, today Li took the lead to be late, and he was fined [-] yuan, which will be given to the crew..."

A familiar voice suddenly inserted from behind: "Duo Shao?!"

Shao Manning, who hadn't gone far, intentionally slowed down, and the unavoidable gossip spirit of human beings emerged.

Li Cheng stared and asked again: "You said that the penalty is less?!"

"Ten thousand, don't worry, it's US dollars." Xu Nian waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It should be enough to add a chicken leg to each crew member."

"Let's discuss, let's discuss, it's only 8:19!"

"It's 8:31 on my watch."

"Isn't it a routine?"

"You're so stingy, Meng, go and tell the logistics staff that there's an extra meal at noon, and I'll pay for it."

Hearing this, Li Cheng was the first to take the lead in supporting: "Thank you, Second Uncle, then count me in as well."

Over there, Shao Manning was almost sucking up the cold air around him.

She was thinking, is that still the studio tyrant Director Li she knew?

Learning is useless!
Shao Manning already understood that more 'surprises' were yet to come.

.........

Sure enough, the surprise came soon.

Talking and laughing on the other side, Xu Nian also has an extra shot in his hand, and the first scene officially joining the group will soon begin.

Follow the procedure to clear the field and play the game.

Tens of seconds later, the play ended smoothly and smoothly.

Suddenly there was applause on the set.

There are a few main staff members talking loudly.

"The familiar feeling has finally come back, and it has to be the second uncle to start."

"Indeed, a good start can make the day go smoothly."

"..."

This is the second time we have cooperated, and everyone has a more harmonious style.

There is nothing to talk about. Mr. Xu sat in his wheelchair, which made it easier to point at the monitor area... and move around.

Li Cheng didn't say anything and directly caught Xu Nian.

"I haven't designed this scene to be interesting enough, do you have any ideas?"

Xu Nian didn't hide it either, and said directly: "Don't be limited in thinking, it's okay to 'slap your ass and leave', just cooperate with your actions."

"Wonderful! It just so happens that the second part doesn't highlight the wretched image of 'Tang Ren'."

Lin Shu: "..."
