Chapter 1433 1435 [Children and grandchildren have their own blessings]
After Guan Xiaoguan divorced, he took his children back to China.
After hearing this, Mr. Guan looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.
He had already noticed that Guan Xiaoguan had an unusual relationship with Xiang Nan, and he also felt that something was wrong when she returned to the United States to get married last time.
Because it has been six years since my granddaughter returned to China, and she has never found a partner. How could it be possible to return to the United States for a month to settle a lifelong event, it is too hasty.
But he didn't think about it at the time, and thought it would be good if she could get married, and stop delaying becoming an old girl because of Xiang Nan. Unexpectedly, after one year of marriage, she would get divorced after giving birth to a child.
Thinking about it now, each time point is too coincidental. Falling in love and getting married after returning to the United States, getting pregnant right after getting married, getting divorced right after giving birth... No matter how you look at it, it seems like a good plan.
But now that he understands it, it's useless. Afterwards, Zhuge can't undo everything, which makes him suddenly feel powerless.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Meng Xiaozao asked with concern.
"It's nothing, warm the wine for Grandpa." He waved his hand.
The universe is big in drunkenness, and the sun and moon are long in the pot. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don't worry about your children and grandchildren, just let her go!
Just as Zheng Banqiao said, it's rare to be confused!
…
After Guan Xiaoguan brought the child back to Beijing, Xiang Nan felt a little strange when he saw his son for the first time.
The little guy looks like his mother, pink and tender, you can tell at a glance that he will be a handsome guy when he grows up.
"Xiaoguan, thank you for your hard work." Xiang Nan said with his arms around Guan Xiaoguan.
"It's good that you know. For him, I walked back and forth from the Palace of Hades." Guan Xiaoguan looked at his son and said.
"Well, it's hard for you." Xiang Nan nodded, "How is it? Did the divorce go smoothly?"
"It's going well. In fact, he has long wanted to divorce." Guan Xiaoguan nodded and said, "It's really tiring to act all the time. Besides, I live under the same roof as a beautiful woman like me. Panic.
Once he got drunk in the middle of the night and almost broke into my room. Fortunately, I locked the door before going to bed, otherwise something might happen. "
Xiang Nan changed color when he heard that, "Did he really dare to do that? Didn't you fix him properly?"
"The next day, I slapped him twice. I also told him that next time, I will divorce immediately and I won't give him a penny." Guan Xiaoguan said harshly.
"This is my woman." Xiang Nan said with satisfaction, "By the way, your parents knew you were divorced, so they didn't say anything?"
"Why didn't you say anything? I tried to persuade you at first. But I didn't listen to them very much when I was a child. This time the divorce is naturally the same." Guan Xiaoguan pouted.
"What about your grandfather, did you say anything?" Xiang Nan asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, he didn't say anything." Guan Xiaoguan waved his hand.
"Strange. How can he be so calm?" Xiang Nan asked in surprise.
Granddaughter divorced, what a big deal, he didn't say a word, it's not in his character.
"What's so strange about this. Although he said he was my grandfather, he never raised me since I was a child. Even if I return to China, I won't live with him. They say they are my grandparents, but they are not close.
In his heart, wine comes first, Chunming comes second, and his treasures come third. In his heart, I am afraid that even Meng Xiaozao is not as good as him. He doesn't care about me. "Guan Xiaoguan curled his lips and said.
Master Guan must love his granddaughter. However, his silence is not a bad thing.
"Then after you come back, take good care of it." Xiang Nan said again, "I will save your Jin Manying's position as the general manager for you. When you are recuperated, you will come back."
Guan Xiaoguan nodded.
…
In December 1989, "Home Alone", written by Xiang Nan and invested by Fox, was officially launched.
Once released, the movie became popular in the United States immediately. The light-hearted and humorous story, the funny performances, and the family love that is thicker than water make this movie different from the general farce. It is both funny and touching, so it is well received by the audience.
The box office reached 30 million US dollars in the first week, which is no small miracle. In the end, the film, which cost less than 10 million yuan, grossed 280 million U.S. dollars at the North American box office alone, and 530 million U.S. dollars worldwide, setting a box office record for a comedy film.
This movie not only made the leading actor Macaulay Culkin an instant hit, becoming the most popular and box office child star in Hollywood, but also made Xiang Nan's name completely established in Hollywood.
Affected by this, "Pretty Woman", which was originally expected to be released on Valentine's Day, immediately stepped up its promotional efforts. And the movie "The Love of Ghosts" that is being filmed has also doubled its investment.
"Jurassic Park", which was considered expensive by many people, now has several film companies expressing their willingness to talk to Xiang Nan.
Before, they felt that the production cost of 60 million was too high, so they didn't plan to talk about it anymore. But now, Xiang Nan has proved his strength.
If "Jurassic Park" is as popular as "Home Alone", then the cost of 60 million US dollars is worth it.
Some people do the so-called beheading business, but no one does the money-losing business. Since they can make money, those film companies are naturally unwilling to lag behind.
However, this time, Xiang Nan is not so easy to talk.
Not only did he ask for a production cost of 60 million US dollars, he also called for Steven Spielberg to direct it, and in the play, at least two Chinese actors should be added, and the number of lines should not be less than 20.
These requirements once again scare off some film companies.
One, Spielberg is now the most successful director of commercial films in Hollywood. If he knew, his salary would definitely not be low.
Secondly, Chinese actors are not popular in Hollywood, adding one would feel like too much, and adding two more, many companies feel that Xiang Nan is a bit of a bully.
Xiang Nan is not in a hurry, let them think slowly.
…
Entering the 1990s, at the beginning of the year, Yanjing TV broadcasted a series of comedy "The Story of the Editorial Department" written by Xiang Nan and Feng Xiaogang, starring Ge You and Zhu Lin, and directed by Zheng Xiaolong and Feng Xiaogang.
The plot of this TV series is witty and humorous, and it is closely related to current social events and reflects the lives of the public. Therefore, after it was broadcast, it was well received and it also gave Yanjing TV a good start to the new year.
The popularity of this TV series also made Ge You a real household star.
Before this, although he had already filmed "Stubborn Lord" and was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, but the movie was watched by only a few people at the time, and it was far less popular than TV.
And the heroine Ge Ling played by Zhu Lin in the play is stylishly dressed, full of personality, sharp-tongued, and arrogant. Bright.
After "The Story of the Editorial Department" became popular, Feng Xiaogang was promoted to be the director of Yanjing Television Art Center. This also made him extremely grateful to Xiang Nan. If it weren't for him, he would have been a screenwriter for many years.
After becoming a director, Feng Xiaogang wanted to make his first shot, produce a good show that caused a sensation all over the country, and prove his own strength.
Otherwise, he was worried about his directorship and would be dismissed again.
So he found Xiang Nan, hoping he could help him.
