The development of Kunpeng Real Estate is also rapid.
In 2003, the site selection for the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube was completed, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held.
It is exactly as Xiang Nan expected, the address of the bird's nest is still in the original location. And Xiang Nan bought the surrounding land early, so now that the construction of the Bird's Nest and Water Cube started, the price of the land in his hand suddenly skyrocketed, driving Han Chunming almost crazy with joy.
In addition to the skyrocketing land prices, in the future these lands will be covered with buildings, and the selling price will also be higher. In particular, Xiang Nan plans to build a few commercial buildings, which will be rented out to make money, and the rent will be several percent higher than other places.

In February 2003, Zhang Yimou took "Hero" to the Berlin Film Festival, nominated for the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture, and finally won the Alfred Bauer Award.
But this is just an appetizer.
In March, the Academy Awards were officially held, and Zhang Yimou led a team to go there in person.
His film has already won the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the Golden Globe Awards. The Golden Globe Awards have always been regarded as the weathervane of the Oscars, and there are many overlapping awards in the two award ceremonies.
Therefore, "Hero" is very likely to win the award, so Zhang Yimou took advantage of it. But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a disappointment in the end.
Because the final version of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film was awarded to Germany's "Nowhere From Home", "Hero" had no choice but to fail.
This made Zhang Yimou very unhappy. After returning to China, he was reluctant to come out for a long time.
After Xiang Nan found out, he specially invited him to dinner and enlightened him by the way.
"Director Zhang, don't take Oscar so seriously. Since "Shakespeare in Love" won the best picture award in 1999, you should know what kind of virtue it is." He said Smiling and persuaded, "For such an award, it's really worth it to make yourself angry?"
"But I'm just not reconciled." Zhang Yimou sighed, "I really put my heart into making the movie "Heroes."
"I know, but with all due respect, if our films are exhibited in other people's exhibitions, whether we can win awards depends not on our strength, but on their preferences." Xiang Nan persuaded, "If you catch their eyes, then Ugly movies win awards. It’s useless to be well-made if they don’t catch their eye.”
