Chapter 509 Returning to China
For the three members of NLZ, especially Ning Tong, who is dubbed "Her Royal Highness of the entertainment circle" by Chinese netizens, Mr. Fan has known them carefully.

At the beginning, after filming the big hit series, the other leading actors became popular, only her, the small supporting role behind the protagonists, was ignored. There are one or two TV dramas with good ratings, but the TV drama is popular, and the male lead is popular. She, the heroine and supporting actress, is still forgotten.

It seems that whether she plays a supporting role or a leading role, she will always be someone else's green leaf, and will never be the peony that attracts everyone's attention and is overflowing with fragrance.

In the subsequent film and television dramas, she worked even harder to act, even at the expense of some, to play some more restricted roles, just to let everyone remember her role and see her hard work.

However, every time, either the work hits the street and no one cares about it, even if her restricted-level shots are hyped up by others, they are just some gossip news, and few viewers will buy tickets to see those few shots.

Either the work was well received, and then her rival actor in the play became popular, or even the female supporting role for her became popular, and only her as the heroine was still forgotten, or even complained about her bad acting skills. will take off.

Later, she thought about it, and gave it all up, so she changed the way she worked hard, walked on the red carpet in a different way, stood on the headlines of the entertainment section, and became the topic queen of the entertainment circle!
Nowadays, wherever she goes, she is always the focus of media attention, commercial performance announcements are full, and her income is in the top ten list of Chinese stars every year, so has she succeeded?

She asked herself quietly like this more than once. Unlike the self-confidence and domineering in front of the media, Young Master Fan is not as confident about this question in his heart as people think.

It's like those great talents who failed to win the test in ancient times. Although they spoke freely and freely and disdained the imperial examination in their poems, in their hearts, how could they not envy those scholars who were named on the gold list?
For so many nights, Xiaoye Fan looked at Ning Tong's dull and infinite appearance on the stage, and imagined that if he was like the other party, with a brother like Ning Cheng, would he develop better than the other party? Wouldn't the road of performing arts be as bumpy and difficult as it is now?

After Ning Cheng personally made NLZ popular and later brought them into the film and television industry, Fan Xiaoye also tried to ask Ning Cheng for a role. At that time, she thought that no matter how low the salary was, as long as she could give herself a good role , then she is willing.

However, in a work directed by Ning Sheng himself, if the three of Ning Tong are the leading roles, then the three of Ning Tong must be the best roles. If there are no three of them participating in the performance, then the leading role will probably be chosen before the news is exposed. , did not give her a chance to compete with others at all.

Of course, there were also a few TV dramas filmed by Xingtong Studio that were missed when casting roles because of inconsistent images or lack of schedule.

Now, Ning Cheng, who disappeared for three years, has returned again, and directly directed a movie featuring Ning Tong and the three of them. Although many people are not optimistic about this new Ning Cheng movie, but Xiaoye Fan doesn't know why. I always feel that Ning Sheng will never fail. This most amazing genius in China has never failed since his debut. She doesn't believe those reports in the media that question Ning Sheng, no matter how many reasons they list and how strict the logic is. , but for geniuses like Ning Sheng, aren't they the ones who break people's perceptions and create miracles?

Seeing Ning Tong and the three of them chatting with Peter decently at the table, Mr. Fan could tell that the foreigner producer who had always been a little proud of himself before, faced Ning Tong and the three who were nearly ten years younger than him. When he was a young man, the intimacy and kindness could be heard from the words.It's like a kind uncle telling a joke to his niece.

Such an obvious difference in attitude made Xiaoye Fan sigh secretly in his heart.

If in Asia, her popularity and popularity can still make her pose as a celebrity, in this remote North American region, her popularity and popularity can't even catch up with the heels of the NLZ trio.

However, Xiaoye Fan and her manager will not let go of the fate of sitting at the same table. It's just that Peter has been controlling the topic at this time, talking happily with Ning Tong and the others, so that they can't get in. That's all.

"Oh, by the way, Tongtong, do you know what new action plans your brother has recently? I know he just finished filming a Chinese action movie. I mean, does he have any plans for new movies?" Peter said with Although Tongtong's Chinese pronunciation is a bit weird, his way of talking in Chinese mixed with English obviously makes people feel more friendly.

Hearing Peter's question, Master Fan and his manager were also shocked, and they all looked at Ning Tong.

Ning Tong took a sip of her drink, and she didn't mean to hide anything or not to say anything. After all, Ning Cheng never wanted to hide or hide these things from others. As for those who heard the news and went to ask him for a role, Ning Tong Sheng is never polite, if you are not the actor he wants, then you can get an invitation to appear in a cameo, but you won't get the role you want, because Ning Sheng's movies are always up to him.

"My brother should be preparing for my sister-in-law Emma's new play!" Ning Tong said indifferently, "And it seems that most of the plot of this play will be filmed in Mexico."

Peter's eyes lit up and he said, "Is this a movie with Emma Roberts as the first starring role? Oh, it seems that I have to go and talk to my dear Ning Sheng quickly. Since it is an English movie, why not talk to our Hollywood movie?" Company cooperation is the best and most convenient, and we are old friends who have cooperated many times, aren’t we? Let’s toast to our friendship!”

Everyone smiled and toasted with Peter and took a sip with Peter. Then Peter asked Ning Tong about other news about the movie. He then got up and left to accompany Shishi, while Young Master Fan whispered to Ying Bao who was beside him, "Director Ning has a new movie coming up, haven't you guys participated in it?"

Ying Bao shook his head and said, "Brother Ning filmed this for Sister Emma. The whole plot is in a foreign country. There are not many Chinese plots, so we can't participate."

After hearing this, Xiaoye Fan's eyes lit up and said, "So, there are still Huaxia's characters in the plot?"

Ying Bao glanced at her and said, "Maybe, we heard a few words from Brother Ning, it seems that there is a little bit of Chinese elements, but there are very few, the whole movie is basically set in Mexico."

Xiaoye Fan asked with a smile, "Then the Huaxia role in Director Ning's new play is decided? Can you think I can act?"

Young Master Fan said it as a joke, but Ying Bao thought about it seriously, "I don't know, but I remember that the Chinese elements in Brother Ning's new play seem to be related to kung fu. Sister Fan, you don't seem to know kung fu, do you?" You are such a big star, how can you play a role like a dragon?"

Young Master Fan smiled, but said in his heart, "If you can get in touch with Ning Cheng, what's the matter with the trick, she would recognize even if she played a dead body." But on the surface, he said with a smile, "I have always liked Director Ning's Movies, I have long wanted to cooperate with Director Ning, if there is a chance, I don't mind being a cameo."

Ying Bao smiled and said, "Yes, I forgot, you can make a cameo performance. When the time comes, Shishi, Tongtong and I will go to make a cameo together. It must be fun."

Young Master Fan looked at her cute look, and said enviously, "It's fun? Yes, it's not fun to be able to participate in Ning Cheng's movie? It's just that apart from the three of you, I'm afraid there are not many people who can be in Ning Cheng's movie." It is said that if you participate in a role, you can participate in it, even if it is just a trick, the most lacking thing in a movie of a big director is the trick!"

This dinner lasted for nearly an hour, and with Ning Tong's previous meal time, it was almost two hours.

After dinner, Xiaoye Fan smiled and exchanged WeChat IDs and phone numbers with Ning Tong and the others, and then everyone left this time.

The three of Ning Tong went back to wash up, and then played around for a while before resting.

As for Xiaoye Fan, after discussing with his agent all night, he finally decided to try his best to win the still uncertain Huaxia character in Ning Cheng's new play.

Xiaoye Fan also knows that her reputation in the circle is not good, and it is really hard to find a big director who is willing to let herself be the protagonist. Many audiences are naturally disgusted, and she has even become synonymous with "vase". Even if she really tries to play her role well, because of the audience's earlier impression and dislike of her, people don't even watch it, or watch it. At that time, I felt from the bottom of my heart that your acting was not good, so her film career is almost completely cut off these years.

In order not to let herself really become a "vase", she no longer plays those messy roles, and ignores those roles that are bitter and bitter, just like the manager analyzed to her, what she needs now is not What is the heroine of a literary film that no one watches, but a successful commercial work that can make the audience like to watch it and change everyone's previous impression of her.

Only the sensational effect brought by the high box office can shatter the disgusting and annoying labels of "vase" and "hype queen" that she has put on her in the past, so that more people can see her new image !

Among the people who can do this, Ning Cheng is undoubtedly the most suitable and guaranteed one!
Looking at the big and small stars that Ning Cheng has made popular, as well as those old actors who have made a comeback, as long as Ning Cheng agrees to make a work for her, then he will definitely usher in the most critical turning point in his career.

Of course, the premise of all this is to let Ning Sheng see his own efforts first, and know that he is not as bad as the media said.

So, while the agent was trying to figure out ways to continue to inquire about more news about Ning Sheng's new play, while Fan Xiaoye started his own special training. Since the information she heard from the inquiring shows that Huaxia's role may be related to kung fu, then she will do it now. Special training on body shape and movement can never go wrong.

Xiaoye Fan originally wanted to meet Ning Cheng before returning to China, but Ning Cheng directly rejected the request through his agent and Ning Tong and the others.Ning Sheng said that he is taking a break now, and he is only responsible for spending time with his family and does not want to talk about work.

Of course, if there is a thick-skinned person, they may just go ahead and say that they want to have a friend-like gathering with Ning Cheng.

Then, there is no need to doubt that Ning Sheng will directly pull you into the blacklist, and Fan Xiaoye and the others have long known when enough is enough through their years of struggle, so they did not continue to entangle, but ate again with Ning Tong and the others. Went home after a meal.

The three of Ning Tong joined the group one after another, and started filming their first roles in the Hollywood crew.

And Ning Sheng, who was hiding at home with Emma and baby girl Xinxin, didn't have a long leisurely life.

He had just finished changing the script of "Fire and Rescue", when Peter's old friend came to him.

As Emma's comeback to the big screen, this "Fire and Rescue" is naturally the main battlefield in the North American film market, so whether it is due to the higher movie schedule in the future or the reason that the distribution company pays more attention to it, Ning Sheng is prepared to Find a Hollywood film and television company to cooperate with.

Of course, no matter how many investors there are, and no matter how good Hollywood filmmakers are, Ning Sheng will always have the final say on his movies, otherwise he would rather be a sole proprietor.

The initial investment of this film, which has not yet been approved, is [-] million Huaxia coins. After all, the main shooting location is in Mexico, so the cost abroad will naturally be higher.

Even though there won't be any bigger stars in the movie besides Emma, ​​the action scenes, plus the gun battle, the scene is not small, so the investment will be bigger.

What is certain now is that Julia's studio will participate in the investment, about 5000 million Huaxia coins, and then Ning Sheng and his old domestic relationship Letian Film and Television invest 5000 million and 5000 million respectively, and then the rest For the [-] million quota, Ning Sheng plans to distribute [-] million to other domestic film and television companies, and find another one in Hollywood to give [-] million.

Of course, there are not many opportunities for Ning Sheng to choose freely in Hollywood. Like the seven major film companies in Hollywood, Ning Sheng can neither invite nor wants to invite him. .

Therefore, Peter, who had worked with him before, was actually Ning Sheng's first choice.

Although Peter can be regarded as a member of the Seven, but the previous few cooperations are quite good, and most importantly, Peter has a certain amount of power in the company, such as the investment quota of 5000 million Huaxia coins, without leaving the company The board of directors can decide after discussion. In this way, since the Hollywood giants will not be eyeing Ning Sheng's movie, it can also discuss the issue of film scheduling with the theater when it is released.

Peter directly approached him to talk about cooperation, and Ning Sheng naturally would not refuse. The two parties reached a preliminary agreement very quickly. As for the formal agreement, it will not be signed until next year when the crew is preparing for the production. Funding will also be entered.

There is a lot of rain in Los Angeles in November, and the temperature is much lower than the previous two months. Therefore, Ning Sheng and Emma took Xinxin back to Huaxia. Well, the temperature in Huaxia is lower at this time, but Ning Sheng Sheng's movie "Angel in Thunderbolt" will be released soon, and Ning Sheng has to go back.
