Chapter 1757 1759 [Snake-shaped hands]
"Director Zhu, excuse me, is this the final script?" Xiang Nan then asked Zhu Mudao.
"Why, you feel bad?" Zhu Mu asked suspiciously.
Xiang Nan smiled, "I'm a bit blunt, please don't take offense. With all due respect, I think this script is really average, and it's not as good as my own script. If you let me act in this script, I can only appreciate your kindness."
"Oh?! So you can also write scripts?" Zhu Mu smiled instead of anger when he heard that, "That's good, you can take a look at your script tomorrow."
Xiang Nan nodded.
…
Back to school, Xiang Nan wrote the story of "The Serpentine Hand".
This movie is Jackie Chan's famous work. After its release, it earned 2.7 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, ranking eighth on the annual box office list.
Turning around, he gave it to Zhu Mu.
After reading the script, Zhu Mu couldn't help but be overwhelmed.
"You really wrote this script?" He looked at Xiang Nan, surprised.
He originally thought that Xiang Nan was just a warrior with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, but he didn't expect that he was both civil and military.
This script has a solid story, vivid characters, twists and turns, and ups and downs. It is both unexpected and reasonable. It is indeed much better than his previous script.
No wonder he dared to say big things, saying that his script was too bad, and he really had the ability.
"It's my work done a few years ago." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Okay, I've used this script, and I've used you too." Zhu Mu nodded and said, "Follow me to Xiangjiang, I will definitely make you the second Bruce Lee."
"I'm not interested in being the second Bruce Lee, I prefer to be myself." Xiang Nan curled his lips when he heard this.
It's not that he doesn't respect his predecessors, but Bruce Lee's kung fu is really not very good. Practicing kung fu can actually make him die suddenly, and he is also boasted as a martial arts master. Is this flattery or blackmail?
It’s like a Chinese medicine doctor who heals himself. As a result, after taking the medicine, people belch farts. Can you say that he has superb medical skills?
From Xiang Nan's point of view, Bruce Lee is as good as he is knowledgeable and educated. He was a top student at the University of Washington, where he majored in psychology and drama.
Compared to most martial arts masters, not to mention college entrance examinations, there are many illiterate people. Therefore, Bruce Lee was able to systematize, theorize, and conceptualize his martial arts, which sounds absurd, and naturally it is easy to attract a large number of believers.
Coupled with the 1960s, the United States was the era when hippies were popular. This kind of oriental culture, with its own mysterious attributes, is the most popular among these people.
Also, he spent some time in Hollywood, mastering hype and making good movies. He integrated his own martial arts concepts into his films, making them more suitable for promotion.
So his fame is mostly brought about by movies, not by his own strength.
Just like Huang Feihong, he was originally just a quack who sold medicine in Fushan, and his martial arts were not ranked at all. But because of the promotion of film and television dramas, he was forced to become a master of Hongquan, one of the top ten masters of the Republic of China.
Zhu Mu pursed his lips and laughed when he saw what Xiang Nan said.
Xiang Nan has strength, personality, and talent. In his opinion, he is very valuable.
On the contrary, blindly submissive, without his own characteristics, in his view, no matter how hard he tries, his future will be limited.
Zhu Mu then helped Xiang Nan apply for a visa.
Cong Shan learned that Xiang Nan was going to Xiangjiang, so she was naturally very reluctant, "After you go, will you come back?"
"Of course I will come back. How could I be willing to leave you?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back."
"Then how long are you going?" Cong Shan asked again.
"It won't be too long, at least a few months, at most half a year." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Anyway, I will definitely come back."
"Well, then I'll wait for you." Cong Shan nodded.
Xiang Nan nodded, and then handed the bicycle he was riding to Cong Shan, "I gave you this bicycle. You can ride it to school in the future. When you ride it, you will think of me."
At that time, the value of a 28-bar was no less than that of a small car now.
Cong Shan nodded solemnly.
…
Half a month later, Xiang Nan officially boarded a plane and headed to Xiangjiang to participate in the filming of "Serpentine Hands".
After landing, Zhu Mu led Xiang Nan into the hotel, and then took out a contract, "Ning Wei, let's be villains first and then gentlemen, so sign this contract."
Xiang Nan glanced at the contract.
According to the contract, Xiang Nan signed a ten-year contract with Zhu Mu's Dadi Company, Zhu Mu will be responsible for all the acting career within ten years, and the money earned will be divided equally.
Zhu Mu gave Xiang Nan 500 yuan in advance of salary every month. After making money in the future, this money will be deducted back.
To be honest, this contract is definitely a godsend opportunity for ordinary people. People in the mainland earn only tens of yuan a month. Now five hundred yuan a month, even if it is an advance payment, is more than enough.
As for the ten-year contract, that is nothing. After all, jobs in the mainland are life-long, and they feel that it is more practical.
But for Xiang Nan, this contract is too bad.
"Director Zhu, I won't be able to sign this long-term contract." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "If you really have the sincerity of cooperation, don't lie to me with this kind of contract. Although I am from the Mainland, it does not represent my vision It's that short-lived.
I will only sign a film contract with you, agreeing to three films in two years, or five films in three years. As for the share, I will never agree. "
"Ning Wei, I'm doing it for your own good. If you sign the film contract, if you don't become popular, you will have to go back after filming this movie. If you go back to the mainland, how much can you earn in a month's salary?
And sign a long-term contract, you can stay in Hong Kong for a long time, and I will support you. Five hundred yuan a month, isn't that a small amount for you? " Zhu Mu laughed.
"Director Zhu, if I'm destined not to be popular, then I accept my fate and I'll go back to the mainland." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "It's either popular or go, for me, there is no other way. "
For others, earning 500 yuan a month and still staying in the prosperous and prosperous Xiangjiang is indeed a good dream. No matter how many people look forward to it, they can't look forward to it.
But for Xiang Nan, he doesn't want to live such a life at all. It's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Either make a career in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, or go back to the mainland to take college entrance examinations.
Receive five hundred yuan a month, live frugally in Xiangjiang Province, and be enslaved for ten years, Xiang Nan will not commit such a fool.
"You are still too young, think about it more carefully." Zhu Mu smiled and said. I got up and left the hotel, and didn't come back for a few days.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan knew that he was deliberately ignoring him so that he could force him to submit. Naturally, he wasn't fooled by this, and took advantage of the world for a few days to have a good time in Xiangjiang. After buying some gifts, he was going to fly back to Yanjing.
Seeing that Xiang Nan was about to leave, Zhu Mu finally appeared.
