Chapter 1785 1787 [Desperate performance]
Xiang Nan then took Cong Shan to the set and asked her to see for herself how Xiangjiang's movies were shot.
"This is Jackie Chan, and this is Cong Shan." Xiang Nan introduced, "Let's get to know each other."
"Brother Ning, is this sister-in-law?" Jackie Chan asked with a smile.
Xiang Nan had never brought a girl to the set before, so seeing him bringing Cong Shan here for an unprecedented time made people curious about their relationship.
"No, it's my cousin." Xiang Nan explained, "She has been admitted to the Chinese opera in the Mainland, and she will become a star in the future, so I will take her to see it in advance."
"So that's it, please, please." Jackie Chan said with a smile when he heard it.
When the crew members learned that Cong Shan is Xiang Nan's cousin, they also greeted each other with smiles, and stepped forward to say hello.
But Cong Shan was a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "Ning Wei, am I obviously your girlfriend? Why don't you dare to admit it, and lie that I am your cousin?"
"Hey, the atmosphere in Xiangjiang is different from ours. The media here is very vicious and often exposes people's privacy. If you don't believe me, if you read the newspapers, how many reports are gossip about the rich and entertainers.
I want to say that you are my girlfriend, and when the media gets wind of it, it will be a big trouble. Xiang Nan explained, "Would you like to be followed by a large group of reporters every day when you go out?" Would you like to be secretly photographed by reporters every time you go to the toilet? Would you rather yawn and get tabloid headlines? "
"Of course I don't want to." Cong Shan waved her hands again and again.
My big and small affairs have been published in the newspapers, and it is scary to think about it.
"It's still true. Therefore, artists and rich people in Xiangjiang are very careful to protect their privacy and will not make their love affairs public." Xiang Nan explained, "This is also the reason why I don't reveal your identity."
"So that's the case." Cong Shan suddenly realized, "I thought, you think I'm old-fashioned, and I can't do it."
"Nonsense. You are so beautiful, there are not many people in Xiangjiang who can match you." Xiang Nan laughed, "If I really think you can't do it, will I bring you to the set and introduce everyone? Shanshan, Do you still have doubts about my feelings for you?"
"No, no." Cong Shan shook her head quickly and said, "Ning Wei, I know you love me, and I love you too. I just feel inferior, and I'm afraid I won't be good enough for you."
"Don't worry, if you weren't good enough for me, then I wouldn't have chased you back then." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Relax, I won't let you go."
"Yes." Cong Shan nodded.
…
Cong Shan stayed with the crew for a long time and saw with her own eyes how Hong Kong films are shot.
How to set up the camera position, how to adjust the lighting, how to use special effects, how to design actions... It really opened her eyes.
"So that's how the movie was made, I understand." Cong Shan nodded.
"It's easy to look at, but it's not so easy to actually act." Xiang Nan laughed, "Besides, filming in Hong Kong and mainland China is different.
Xiangjiang is a private film industry, and filming is mainly for entertainment, and selling money is the most important thing, so the emphasis is on how fast and economical. Mainland China is all state-owned film studios, filming is mainly about art, and making money is secondary, so the emphasis is on excellence. When you are filming in the mainland in the future, you still need to talk less, watch more and think hard. "
"Yes." Cong Shan nodded.
…
After staying in Xiangjiang for five days, Cong Shan decided to return to the mainland.
Because she found that Xiang Nan was very busy, and he had to make decisions on big and small matters. She often went shopping with her for a day, and had to work overtime when she returned home at night to deal with the accumulated work.
"Stay a few more days, anyway, you have nothing to do when you go back." Xiang Nanwan stayed.
"No, you are so busy, you still have to accompany me every day." Cong Shan waved her hand and said, "I'll go back anyway, so I won't trouble you."
"Okay then, when I'm not busy, I'll invite you to come over and have a good time." Xiang Nan nodded, and then helped Cong Shan buy a plane ticket.
"Shanshan, this is 30,000 yuan, you take it back." Before parting, Xiang Nan took out a wad of money and said.
"What is this for?" Cong Shan was a little puzzled.
"Take it back and buy some TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, etc. for the family. You can buy these products at the Friendship Store." Xiang Nan explained.
"I don't want it. It's not like my family has no money, so why use yours?" Cong Shan waved his hand.
Her parents are back to work now. Although they don’t earn a lot, they are enough to spend.
"You are my future wife. What does it matter if you spend my money? Isn't my money your money? Are you going to share it with me?" Xiang Nan laughed.
Hearing what he said, Cong Shan blushed, and had no choice but to take it.
…
After Cong Shan left, Xiang Nan started filming "Police Story".
He plays Chen Jiaju, Zhong Chuhong plays his girlfriend Ami, Cheng Wenya plays the **** and charming Salina, Tung Piao plays Uncle Biao, the police chief is played by Wu Weiguo, and the drug lord is played by Tian Jun...
When the media learned that the investment of this film was as high as 12 million Hong Kong dollars, they were all shocked. Because at that time, five or six hundred thousand was enough to make a movie.
The best-selling movie in Xiangjiang is only "The Prodigal Boy" starring Xiang Nan, with a total box office of only 10 million. Therefore, the investment of 12 million Hong Kong dollars can be regarded as the largest investment in the history of Xiangjiang Films, and everyone was naturally surprised.
Therefore, the media attaches great importance to this movie, and news about it is reported every two days.
Because it has been reported a lot, the audience is a little curious and speculates how exciting this movie is, which makes this movie popular before it is released, and the attention is extremely high.
For example, it is no less than "Avengers IV" before it was released that year.
…
This movie was also given high hopes by Xiang Nan, who regarded it as his own transformational work, so his requirements were stricter.
Not only the martial artists of the crew had to fight hard, but even the actresses Zhong Chuhong and Zheng Wenya had to fight in person. This also made them both complain.
After all, they are all delicate girls. Now it is a bit difficult for them to fight and get beaten.
However, they also know that the opportunity is rare. After all, with a huge investment of 12 million Hong Kong dollars, not everyone has the honor to act. They are both lucky to be able to act.
If the movie is a box office hit, they both stand to gain a lot too. Therefore, the two of them also gritted their teeth and persisted, and did not avoid many dangerous actions. They went into battle in person, and were thrown bruised and purple, which made Xiang Nan a little admired.
As for Xiang Nan himself, he was even more desperate.
Whether it’s hanging on the bus with an umbrella, running on a steep slope, or even jumping off a light pole, you are all in person.
Those actions were so dangerous that even experienced martial artists such as Lin Zhengying, Ren Shiguan, and Qian Yuesheng were afraid, but Xiang Nan completed them one by one.
Because he was so desperate, everyone in Ning's class didn't dare to be ambiguous, and they jumped in enthusiastically, making the action scenes of "Police Story" far more exciting than other movies.
