Chapter 1431: Mr. Zhang's Strength

"If you were going to shoot in downtown New York, like Manhattan, I still have a good one on the Upper East Side, which is my first permanent location in the United States, and the first real estate I bought.

My family and I have rarely stayed there in recent years, but everything there is in good condition, and there are regular special personnel to take care of it, and you can use it when you need it.

Not all wealthy people in the United States live in the suburbs, and many actually prefer to settle down in the city center. ”

Since the Empire State Building was renovated and Nicole and Jenny each had their own comfortable lounge there, even if they occasionally worked late overtime, they didn't go to the Upper East Side apartment for the night.

Hearing this, Jiang Wen couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhang, have you watched "Beijing People in New York"?"

Basements, restaurants, and rich people don't necessarily live in the suburbs, there is one less garment factory, and all of these can be combined with the plot.

When I first arrived in the United States, I lived in a dark and damp basement rental house, with poor environment and security, and a black perverted neighbor who was eyeing him;

The initial vision of a better life and the pride of a cello artist all go headlong into the kitchen of the restaurant, which is an important part of the early stages of the plot.

And then there's the problem of "rich people living in the suburbs": When Wang picks up his daughter who has arrived in the United States, he drives back to his home on Long Island, and his daughter has questions about how to drive to the suburbs.

In the capital, the rich live in a building, and the more downtown the better!

Faced with his daughter's question, Wang Qiming replied: "The rich in the United States are different from Huaxia, they don't live in the city, they all live in the suburbs. ”

If you hadn't seen it, this Mr. Zhang wouldn't have been able to say this.

This "Beijing People in New York" seems to have been publicly released first, and then a TV series was made, but Zhang Nan is not very clear about this, because he has never seen the best-selling book that is said to have sold millions of copies.

Therefore, Zhang Nan did not answer Jiang Wen's question positively, but said in English: "If you love him, send him to Ne York, for it's heaven;if you hate him, send him to Ne York, for it's hell." ”

Jiang Wen naturally answered: "If you love him, send him to New York, because it is heaven, and if you hate him, send him to New York, because it is hell!"

This will be the most classic confession in the TV series, and it is said that it will be played at the beginning of each episode to remind the Chinese people of the essence of the American capitalist world!

"This is New York, the tide of going abroad in China over the years has been fucking crazy, what the United States, Europe, Australia, and even Africa are all going to!

I hope that this film can make people in China see the real status quo of the capitalist world clearly, and go abroad blindly in a moment. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan laughed at himself, "It seems that I am also one of them, but... This doesn't seem to be exactly, but I came out to take a look, but I ended up with some money in a daze, and by chance I became a Chinese American. ”

Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang are not very clear about the process in the middle, and the history of Zhang Nan's fortune is passed on in China, but it is only circulated in a relatively small range.

It's not easy to answer, and I don't praise it, these two are not stunned young people who have never seen the world and can't speak: why aren't passers-by know?

There must be a reason for this, but since the relationship between Yang Ma and the TV drama production center made them come to this Mr. Zhang, they should be 100% politically okay and can accept his help with peace of mind.

Zhang Nan laughed at himself and said to Jiang Wen with a smile: "By the way, when you are making a film, Chinese don't say that sentence 'When we are human, they are still monkeys!'

If you are heard by others, don't say anything about it, and beware of being accused of racism. ”

At this time, Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen both laughed: Racial discrimination is rampant in the United States, but it is the most anti-racist place, which is very strange.

People of all colors can experience discrimination, and it's not just white people who discriminate against people of other colors, of course, among them, Chinese people are generally very vulnerable.

Regarding this problem of discrimination, those who have power and power do not take it seriously, there are many racial discrimination in the police, and discrimination against other races is common;

Take it seriously, no matter who it is, this missing sentence can be put on the line, and the law, the police, and public opinion will unite to make the parties want to die!

Of course, Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen can understand the meaning of Mr. Zhang's words: it's not that they're afraid of things, but since they will participate in the filming and help cooperate with the shooting, whether they are white, black, Latino or Indian, they are all friends of the crew.

It's really not good to tell a hurtful truth in front of them.

Besides, Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen already knew that several of Mr. Zhang's wives in the United States were white, and there were also a large number of white and black employees around them.

But Jiang Wen really doesn't talk nonsense, TV is TV, reality is reality, not to mention that now he has a hot fight with a French beauty, how can he talk nonsense about that classic truth.

Now Feng Xiaogang and both of them believe that Zhang Nan has read the original version, and Zhang Nan can't explain it here, so they misunderstand.

Speaking of some details, for example, in addition to filming the lives of ordinary people in New York, if you want to go to the Empire State Building to get some shots or something, it is Zhang Nan's own industry anyway.

"If you need a yacht to show the drunkenness and decadence of capitalism, you can use my yachts and fishing boats as you like.

It's that the winter in New York is cold enough, and if you want to shoot summer shots, you have to wait at least until spring, otherwise even if the sun is good, wearing a swimsuit on this sea can freeze people into typhoid fever.

Shoot out of season, I still know a little bit about this, Ali and Xiao Xu told me that I also went to visit the class when they were filming in China. ”

Zhang Li talked to Chen Xiaoxu about Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang, although they are not friends, they also know each other a little.

As for Zhang Nan's relationship with Sister Bao and Sister Lin, it is an open secret in the Chinese entertainment industry, but everyone rarely says it.

It's not that the person who owes his mouth doesn't, but there is a vague force that makes people avoid this topic!

In the past few years, Zhang Li and Chen Xiaoxu have both been in the UK and rarely return to China, and there are fewer people mentioned in such a once super hot gossip.

Zhang Nan is still not easy to accept Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang's words now, and finally Jiang Wen said two sentences, "It seems that Zhang Li and they are filming in the UK", and they didn't talk much, this is over, everyone knows it in their hearts.

Zhang Nan asked about the foreign actors in the United States again, and learned that they had basically been contacted in the early stage, but when they were not completely finalized, he said: "... There are two associations of film and television actors in the United States, and it is convenient to recruit actors, but better TV series actors are actually not cheap.

You have limited funds, if some characters don't appear for a long time, but they have relatively high acting requirements, I will ask you to find a few big names to make cameos for a day or two according to the model of friendship cameos.

These are not problems, but many American TV and movie stars are not well-known in China, and even if some movies and TV have been introduced in recent years, there is not much publicity for the film itself, let alone the introduction of actors. ”

At this time, Feng Xiaogang smiled and said: "It's not that I don't know it, there are few formal introductions, and pirated videotapes are everywhere."

Just like Stallone, he is very famous in China!"

When Zhang Nan heard this, a funny thought appeared in his mind, "Mike is already very famous in Huaxia?"

Otherwise, I'll ask him to make a cameo when the time comes, I don't know if you can stuff it into your plot. ”

"Mike?"

Feng Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, but reacted instantly, and Jiang Wen on the other side thought of the words in Zhang Nan's words: "I'll let him make a cameo!"

The tone of course, whoever is in vain is a complete and natural order to what people should do!

The moment Feng Xiaogang reacted here, Zhang Nan said: "Michael Sylvester Enzio Stallone, I usually call him Mike, Shun Yi."

Don't worry about the salary, you don't need to pay for a friendly cameo in one and a half episodes, you just invite him to a meal, and you don't have to think about his agent chirping. ”

Well, Mr. Zhang is very familiar with Stallone, and he is familiar enough to tell the other party what to do at will!

This... Jiang Wen and the others thought of power and power!

What is power, power?

It's not a rush of time, but a matter of course, to let a $15 million superstar make a free cameo in a TV series from another country!

Mr. Zhang can't be fooling, this is still a cameo in half an episode or an episode!

Is this also a cameo?

Others may not know that Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wenke have both heard that Stallone's 7 movies from 85 to the present, except for one that received a salary of 12 million, each of the others is 15 million US dollars!

What is power, power?

That's it!
