"Haha, just kidding."

"To tell you the truth, it was I who recommended Ms. Dong Zhu to choose you as the spokesperson for the following year."

“I’m too old to be a spokesperson to attract younger consumers.”

"I've been watching your performance lately."

"I am particularly impressed by how the two songs evoked people's patriotism and love for Chinese cultural relics!"

What you're doing now is far more meaningful than what I did when I was young!

Cheng Long explained everything in detail over the phone.

In addition to being an international movie star.

Cheng Long also has another official identity, namely, a member of the China Business and Political Association.

As a fellow patriotic artist, he greatly admired Wang Yueheng's actions of writing songs and making dramas for the cultural relics of China.

"I see, thank you for the encouragement, Uncle Long!!"

Wang Yueheng suddenly realized what was happening and then expressed his gratitude.

"Don't thank me yet."

"Actually, I was also greatly inspired after reading your book, 'Escape from the British Museum'."

"I plan to make a patriotic film about searching for lost cultural relics from China!"

"And this will happen to be my 100th film in my career, which is of great significance."

Cheng Long then mentioned his ideas for his new film.

"Congratulations, Uncle Long! Please don't hesitate to ask if you need my help! I will do my best to assist you!"

"If you need the copyright to any of my songs this time, just let me know!"

"I'm sure Jackie Chan's new movie will continue to be a box office hit!"

Wang Yueheng was slightly taken aback, then spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Now all of my songs have the influence and popularity they deserve.

If they can leverage Jackie Chan's popularity to become even more famous, that would be even better.

"Thank you for your kind words, but after all, I'm getting on in years, and my box office influence isn't what it used to be."

"It would be good if this new film could even break even."

At this point, Cheng Long sighed with a hint of sadness.

Although his reputation remains at its peak, several of his films have suffered box office failures.

This also shows that today's audiences value the quality of works more.

The influence of movie stars and actors on box office revenue is gradually decreasing.

Like Wang Yueheng's "Dying to Survive", although there are no big stars.

But it also set a record as a dark horse in the film industry, grossing nearly 3 billion yuan at the box office.

It far surpasses the total box office performance of Jackie Chan's recent films.

Although box office revenue is no longer my main goal in making movies.

But Cheng Long still held onto hope.

I hope that, just like when I was young, I can produce another late-life work that will be widely praised.

Instead of always being disappointed by box office flops.

"Uncle Long, has your new script been finished?"

Listening to Cheng Long's感慨 (feelings/reflections), Wang Yueheng asked curiously.

"The new film is currently only in the creative stage. In fact, we plan to film it in France."

"That's the Louvre Museum."

"Many cultural relics that were looted from China are also preserved there."

"And many of them are traded on the black market, and I plan to start my new film from this aspect."

"But we haven't figured out the specific storyline yet..."

Cheng Long hesitated for a moment before expressing his thoughts.

"Uncle Long, do you know about the twelve bronze animal heads from the Old Summer Palace?"

After listening, Wang Yueheng suddenly asked a question.

Since the other party had put it so plainly, he naturally guessed what they were thinking.

They simply want me to help them write a passable script or story.

Ideally, it should also have a certain level of market popularity, like "Escape from the British Museum".

"I think I've heard that it was said that only a few animal heads survived the war, and they were subsequently found abroad..."

Cheng Long answered instinctively.
