He is now more than just an ordinary artist. According to what Koreans often say, Chen Long is now a national-level artist. His every move affects the attention of countless people, and he must be cautious.
Where does an artist's biggest income come from? Making movies? Singing? Running advertisements? No, none of them, but accepting advertisements. The faces of those advertisers just don't say, "You are stupid, you have a lot of money, come quickly, of course."
For advertisers to become like that, you must be a popular artist, otherwise they will become a slut, stingy, and get out of here.
Therefore, when Chen Long cannot accept advertisements at will, his money income will be reduced by at least half, and he cannot spend most of this money at will. Most of Chen Long's money is used to support his Chen Long.
Home work is over.
Chen Long's Chen Jia Ban is a well-known team in the industry. Basically, it is famous for its daring to fight, dare to attack and not be afraid of death. It is even famous to the point that even insurance companies are unwilling to insure it. What kind of team is Chen Jia Ban? Basically
It's a business where you lose money but don't make a profit. The people inside it are all light-hearted. They are basically a group of guys who don't care about their lives. No one is willing to protect them.
Because no one is willing to insure the relationship, every time there is a death or injury, Chen Long pays for treatment and compensation. As a result, Chen Long's income drops sharply, and most of it is spent on this, and as time goes by
As time goes by, more than 20 years have passed, and the people in Chen's class have become middle-aged or even elderly uncles. They are not Chen Long. Chen Long can't fight and can still rely on his fame and status to make a living, but they are just ordinary people.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that martial arts masters basically have no human rights. Who will remember them when they get older? They can’t fight or act. These people have no other means of making a living. They basically rely on Jackie Chan to pay for it out of his own pocket.
In raising, so many people are a heavy burden, so for others, like Liu Dehua, he can complete the Asian Rising Star Project with his own money, but for Chen Long, it is not that he does not have the financial resources, but he dare not
Taking risks, behind him are those old brothers, and their survival depends entirely on him.
Wang Zhengfei admired Chen Long's kind-hearted behavior very much. This kind of behavior is not something ordinary artists can do. It should be said that most artists can't do it. That's why Chen Long can
Become the recognized big brother Chen Long in the circle, while others cannot do it.
"Good luck, I can't compare to big brother!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, knowing that the drama was coming.
"It's rare for young people to have such achievements as you. We old guys have been outclassed by you!" Chen Long said with a smile, and suddenly felt in his heart that he was indeed old, and the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.
, when he first started making films in Hong Kong, he was about the same age as Wang Zhengfei now, but at that time he was still playing a bit part, and now Wang Zhengfei is actually the director and starring in a movie with a huge investment of hundreds of millions.
The huge contrast makes people sigh even just thinking about it.
"I heard that you are recruiting actors now, right?" Chen Long asked casually.
"Yes, we are in the process of preparation. We are looking for people. It is not easy to find people now. Is it brother that you want to join? Then we will be really prosperous!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"No, I'm still busy with "Myth" right now, so I don't have time!" After saying this, Chen Long sighed. Sometimes it's hard to refuse to accept old age. In the past, it was no problem to shoot several films at the same time, but now
The number of films that can only be produced in one or two years has reached its limit. "But remember that boy of ours, Jaycee Chan?"
"Remember, remember!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile. Of course he remembered, Prince Long. In the entertainment industry, Prince Long is also a very unique person. He is a good person and seems to have inherited his father's temper. It is difficult to let people know.
Don't remember.
"This kid has been clamoring all day long about making movies. Making movies, I said, how can it be so easy to make movies? Not everyone is as talented as Zhengfei, but this guy still wants to make movies. I'm like, why don't you go and make movies?"
If you are not familiar with someone, why not come here and try your luck!" Chen Long thought about his words and said.
Wang Zhengfei finally understood that feelings were waiting for him here. It turned out that he called him personally because of Jaycee Chan's matter. He also said, why did Chen Long call him personally? For a moment, he even felt flattered. Now
When I think about it, apart from Jaycee Chan, there is no reason why Chen Long can take action personally.
As for his love for his son Jaycee Chan, Chen Long is well-known in the entertainment industry as a father. Although he often says in front of the media that his son is not good at this or that, his doting love cannot be stopped at all.
, and often appeared in various activities to promote his son, which attracted a lot of attention to Jaycee Chan for a while, but this actually limited Jaycee Chan's development. There is such an awesome father, I really don't know
Should I say it is a blessing or a misfortune.
Just like Nicholas Tse now, when Nicholas Tse first debuted, didn't he use the label of his father, Nicholas Tse? As a superstar in Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s, Nicholas Tse's name provided countless opportunities for Nicholas Tse's development in the entertainment industry.
Help, as a famous second-generation star in the entertainment industry, Nicholas Tse's growth was basically witnessed by the media, but this was not the case with Jaycee Chan. Since Chen Long was also an idol star back then, he could not reveal information about having children and a wife at all.
Otherwise, many fans would be irritated. At that time, there were female fans in Japan who threatened to jump off the building. Therefore, Jaycee Chan was hidden in the United States for 20 years. His surname was also shy. What’s more, when Nicholas Tse debuted,
, in fact, their influence in front of the public is not that big, it is more a kind of help from behind-the-scenes relationships in the circle, but Jaycee Chan debuted, and although Chen Long has declined slightly compared to the previous two years, he is still a king-level status.
Unshakable.
With such a strong father standing in the way, Jaycee Chan's road to fame was very difficult, and Jaycee Chan's character is not strong enough. He is not as strong as Nicholas Tse, and he has not suffered enough. Without that, one day others will not
They would say that he is Chen Long's son, but Chen Long is Jaycee Chan's father's determination, dooming his future to be bumpy.
Chen Long doesn't seem to realize that Jaycee Chan's biggest obstacle is himself, or even if he notices it, there is nothing he can do about it. He can't just let it go and let it go!
As soon as he heard that Wang Zhengfei was going to make this blockbuster film with an investment of over 100 million, he immediately tried every means to get a role for Jaycee Chan. For his son, Chen Long had no regard for anything, and his face and everything else were all in vain.
Although he also has liars, he avoids suspicion because of well-known reasons. Although this suspicion makes Wang Zhengfei a little pained, the external reason is this, so he can only approach Wang Zhengfei.
"No problem. If Zu Ming wants to come here, there will be no problem at all!" Wang Zhengfei said quickly. Chen Long personally entrusted it. How could he not be serious? Suddenly, he found that the seniority of the two father and son was really confusing.
He called Chen Long his eldest brother, and Jaycee Chan was three years older than him. Generally speaking, he also called him eldest brother. In the end, he had no choice but to call him by his first name in order to avoid confusion. "I will definitely know how to do it."
Give him a good role!"
"Haha, Zhengfei, you don't need to give me any face at all. He's an incompetent kid. You don't have to accommodate him. He can play whatever role he deserves. It doesn't need to be a too important role. He just needs to be able to run errands. He just entered this circle and doesn't have much.
Time is needed to accumulate experience. If you give him a role that is too important, he won't be able to perform well. He needs to hone in slowly. Young people, don't be too impatient!" Chen Long criticized Jaycee Chan as usual, and at the same time hoped to give Jaycee Chan a chance.
"Haha, I will pay attention!" Wang Zhengfei said.
However, Wang Zhengfei doesn’t quite agree with Chen Long’s statement. The so-called “you have to become famous as early as possible”. To put it harshly now, it’s all a world of idols. What is called an idol group is that those who are handsome and young are idols.
, but now Jaycee Chan is no longer handsome. If he hadn't taken advantage of his youth, he would have been able to make his mark in the years of the monkey. After all, it is no longer their era. Although playing a small role can accumulate a lot of experience, it is not a process that must be experienced.
When it comes to accumulating experience, why not be the protagonist?
After hanging up the phone with Chen Long, Wang Zhengfei woke up completely. Basically, he was not sleepy at all. Thinking about Chen Long, there are really many such backdoors, but as long as he is in China, these favors are not complete.
, although he also wants to use the actors he wants as he pleases, but many times he still needs to compromise. Besides, didn't Chen Long just say that? Jaycee Chan still needs to train, as long as he is not a bit player, a small role with a name.
Occasionally receiving a box lunch is enough to satisfy him. For the time being, Jaycee Chan can only play this role.
This did not have a big impact on Wang Zhengfei's overall shooting. Just give him any role. It was easy to deal with. It was just a little difficult for Wang Zhengfei to choose which role to give.
However, Wang Zhengfei didn't think about it for long. After washing, he got up. As soon as he opened the door, he was shocked. There was a long queue outside. I don't know when, there was a long queue outside the hotel room where he was staying.
, there are actually dozens of newcomers and parents who audition. Although this data seems a bit insignificant, there is no doubt that it is a very huge data, at least for the current Wang Zhengfei.
Say so.
Seeing Wang Zhengfei open the door, at least the people who had been waiting for most of the night shouted quickly: "Good morning, Teacher Wang!"
Because I haven’t practiced it as a whole, the whole greeting is basically one after another, full of strange things.
Wang Zhengfei was shocked, why did he become Teacher Wang? He had never been a teacher, but he did know that people in the circle had a tradition of calling older people "teacher" with more outstanding achievements.
Forget it, he has outstanding achievements. Wang Zhengfei feels that many people may not be able to achieve his achievements in a lifetime, but what about his age? He seems to be around 20 years old, which is slightly older than these young men and women.
So one or two years old, let alone the parents, he is basically about the same age as his parents.
"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" Wang Zhengfei asked.
At this time, a parent representative stood up and said: "We all heard that Teacher Wang's new play was being selected, so we rushed here. We hope Teacher Wang can give us a chance!"
For newcomers in the entertainment industry, diligence is very important. Although not all directors are like this, in general, a diligent newcomer will always get more opportunities, not to mention
It’s still Wang Zhengfei’s new play, with a huge investment of over 100 million yuan, but how can we just wait and see!
Wang Zhengfei can basically imagine what price these people paid last night to get the information about the hotel where he stayed. Although in his opinion, the information about the hotel where he stayed was not worth mentioning, someone with a little status in the circle wanted to get it.
It wasn't difficult to get there, because he didn't block any information, but for these newcomers, it would take a lot of money to get such high-profile information.
Looking at these parents who accompany their boys and girls here, they really take great pains to make their children famous. This is completely opposite to the previous attitude. In the past, parents always prevented their children from entering the entertainment industry, but now they still accompany them
come over.
Wang Zhengfei had no choice but to let them come in one by one and take turns to audition.
However, it is said to be an audition. In fact, it means trying out some small roles, and then Wang Zhengfei will judge whether they are suitable. Then he will look at some resumes, information, specialties and other information, and then judge whether they are suitable for the roles in his mind. If they are suitable, he will cast a role.
Check it, make some footnotes, and then go to them next time. Forget about the inappropriate ones. Of course, they all look the same on the surface. Wang Zhengfei smiled and said to them to go back and wait for news. Some of them will receive news from Wang Zhengfei by then.
, but most people are unable to receive a reply from Wang Zhengfei. The entertainment industry is so cruel.
Of course, some people tried to use some special means. For example, the photos included in the information turned out to be sexy photos, which made Wang Zhengfei confused. This group of people was undoubtedly on Wang Zhengfei's blacklist. He may not be
Such a gentleman, but this is related to the 50 million he invested and the 50 million from Xingchen Entertainment. He doesn't want to ruin them all because of these people. Those investments alone prevent him from just looking for someone to settle it.
, it is impossible for these people to appear on the big list again.
