Chapter 1763 1765 [Making public opinion]
Actually, those people really underestimated Xiang Nan.
Although Xiang Nan looks young, only nineteen years old, his real age is probably more than two hundred years old.
The so-called people are old and treacherous, and horses are old and slippery. A person who is two hundred years old is already an adult. What's more, Xiang Nan is smart, and has created a magnificent career in the past two hundred years.
In the world of "Xiao Shede", he is a billionaire; in the world of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", he is the current national teacher, with one person under one man and above ten thousand people.
Even in the real world, he is a rich man with a net worth of over 100 million, and he is in charge of dozens of people in the company. Therefore, a production crew of a mere hundred people is not worth mentioning to him.
It's like a big truck driver driving a car, just like playing with a toy.
…
"Laughing Fist Strange Moves" was filmed for two and a half months, from April to June. During the period, Xiang Nan asked for leave and went back to the capital.
Because of the university's first semester exam, you can't miss it. Otherwise, you won't get enough credits, and Xiang Nan won't even get a diploma.
Although he hasn't studied for more than two months, Xiang Nan's English attainment is still not comparable to that of his classmates. Therefore, not only passed the exam smoothly, but also achieved almost full marks.
This made the teachers dumbfounded, and made the students envious.
…
In addition to the exam, Xiang Nan also took time to meet Cong Shan and gave her the latest dress, which made Cong Shan very happy.
"Is it fun to make a movie? I want to make a movie in the future. Do you think I can do it?" Cong Shan asked curiously.
"Of course. You are so beautiful, it would be a pity not to be a star." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
"Really?!" Hearing that he was so optimistic about herself, Cong Shan was naturally very happy, "Do you really think I can do it?"
"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "However, filming looks easy, but it is actually very difficult. It must go through professional training and polishing. If you don't believe me, I'll point a camera at you, I'm afraid it's you I can’t even walk anymore.”
"Then where to teach this?" Cong Shan asked hastily.
"Chinese opera, Beijing Film Academy, and Shanghai Opera are all fine." Xiang Nan explained, "They all have acting majors, you can take the test."
Cong Shan nodded upon hearing this.
"However, for young people all over the country who are interested in performing, Chinese opera is the first choice. You have to compete with millions of candidates." Xiang Nan reminded her again, "There are so many people, no matter how beautiful they are There are. So you can’t be careless, you can’t be complacent, and you have to work hard.”
"Okay." Cong Shan said confidently.
…
In July, "Laughing Fist Strange Moves" was officially launched.
This movie was screened in theaters under Golden Harvest. In order to make this movie a higher box office, Golden Harvest also created a big public opinion offensive.
Not only publish advertisements in newspapers, magazines, and platforms, but also use broadcast media resources for publicity.
For this reason, Xiang Nan was specially sent to TVB's "Happy Tonight" program.
That program is the most popular variety show on TVB, and it aired the second day after it opened. Up to now, more than 3,000 episodes have been broadcast, which can be said to be an evergreen tree in TVB's ratings.
This program has also cultivated many performing arts elites. Shen Dianxia, Zheng Yuling, Wang Mingquan, Xu Guanwen, Zhou Runfa, Zhou Xingchi, Wu Junru, etc. have all hosted this show.
So, first of all, He Guanchang wanted to repeat the old trick.
It is worth mentioning that Mr. Li Xiaohe was in charge of TVB at that time, and Uncle Shao Liu was just one of the many shareholders of TVB.
It is not difficult for Xiang Nan to perform on the show.
In the past ten years, he has performed thousands of performances every year. At the busiest time, there are seven or eight performances a day.
Therefore, Xiang Nan appeared on the "Happy Tonight" program, and performed kung fu of palming a broken stone slab, which shocked the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.
Bruce Lee performed kung fu back then, but he just kicked a wooden board. Xiang Nan directly broke into stone slabs, hundreds of times more difficult than wooden ones.
This kind of kung fu has never been heard or seen before. It is really like what is written in martial arts novels. Naturally, everyone is surprised.
"Such kung fu, is it true or not? Could it be a show?"
"Passing a crushed stone slab?! Is there really such a kung fu? It can't be a fraud, right?"
"Are you filming? How can I not believe that he is also holding a broken stone slab. Bruce Lee is not so good."
The audience all questioned.
The director team of "Happy Tonight" can naturally guess the psychology of the audience, so they specially replaced the stone slab with a steel plate.
"Everyone, please be optimistic. This is a real steel plate. Listen to the sound and look at the weight. It is absolutely real." Shen Dianxia and Lu Haipeng supported the steel plate together. It was very difficult.
Afterwards, the steel plate was placed on the table.
Xiang Nan Yun raised his energy, and with a palm down, a blurred palm print was actually made on the steel plate, as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer.
Seeing this, the audience couldn't help being stunned.
A one-centimeter-thick steel plate can make a palm print.
This man's strength and speed can be imagined. Being hit by him in the palm, it is considered lucky to survive.
This kind of kung fu is really amazing, it's like Guo Jing is alive and born a **** of war, so there is a sensation inside and outside the field.
Accompanying it, after the release of "Laughing Boxing Strange Move", the movie box office has been rising all the way.
Within three days, it broke one million Hong Kong dollars; within a week, it reached two million Hong Kong dollars. In the end, it was screened for 25 days, with a total box office of 6.3 million Hong Kong dollars.
Although it is slightly worse than "Drunken Master", it is still a super-grossing Kung Fu movie. This also made Xiang Nan's reputation as a Kung Fu superstar more and more deeply ingrained.
Naturally, there are more film companies that invite him to film, and the pay is higher than before.
It used to be 400,000, but now it has risen to 500,000 or 600,000. At that time, this price was enough to make a movie, which shows how popular Xiang Nan is.
…
Subsequently, "Laughing Fist Strange Tricks" was also distributed to Taiwan, Nanyang, Dongying, South Korea and other places through Golden Harvest's distribution network, which also set off a big movie-watching craze.
Especially Taiwan. After all, it is of the same origin and cultural connection, which makes this movie more popular. In Taipei alone, it earned NT$24 million at the box office.
Taiwan is one of the largest markets for Hong Kong films, accounting for almost 30% to 50% of the total revenue of Hong Kong films. Therefore, whoever can win the Taiwan market is the real box office superstar. Otherwise, no matter how popular it is in Xiangjiang, it will be limited.
Xiang Nan's films are so popular in Taiwan, and his salary has also increased, approaching a million dollars.
