Chapter 1808 1810 [Suggestions]
"The Wrangler" was filmed at Shandan Army Horse Farm in Ganzhou in July last year, and it was officially completed in February this year. Then, after five months of post-production, it was not officially released until today.
Such a practice of striving for perfection for the sake of art is almost unimaginable in Xiangjiang. After all, Xiangjiang Films focuses on profitability. If the movies were all shot at this speed, the film company would have lost money long ago.
However, "The Wrangler" became popular as soon as it was released, which shows that it is still beneficial to keep improving.
After the movie became popular, the two protagonists, Zhu Shimao and Cong Shan, became popular all over the country and became the stars in the hearts of the audience.
"Congratulations, my star, you have finally become famous." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I read news about you everywhere in newspapers and magazines."
"Hmph, don't mention it, I would rather not be in this movie." Cong Shan waved her hand and said sadly.
"What's the matter, what happened?" Xiang Nan asked quickly when he saw it.
Cong Shan immediately told what happened to her.
It turns out that after she became famous, not only was she excluded by her classmates, but even her teachers targeted her, speaking eccentrically and holding guns and sticks, "Don't think that acting in "The Wrangler" is so great. It's not qualified at all~"
Living this kind of life every day, she was naturally very painful, and even regretted that she shouldn't have accepted the role in the first place.
"Ning Wei, what do you think I should do?" Cong Shan said in pain.
After all, she is only twenty years old and has little contact with society. She really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of thing.
"This kind of villain who is jealous of the virtuous and capable, no matter what dynasty, generation, and place, there is no way to win a fight with them. They are like fleas, they strangle one and another." Xiang Nan thought for a while, and pointed She said, "My suggestion is to pull a batch and make a batch. If you have money, give gifts to teachers and treat students to dinner.
There are always some people who didn’t exclude you or target you, so you treat those people well. The so-called short-handed, cannibalism. They didn't target you in the first place, and they took advantage of you, so they will naturally speak to you.
When you have more friends, you will naturally have fewer enemies. Moreover, if you feel that the dormitory is too boring, you can go home and live there. I feel that eating at school is depressing, so I go out to eat. Can't afford to provoke or hide? "
School is a small society, and there are people with sophistication. But generally speaking, it is still much purer than the society. Most of the students and teachers are good. As long as you keep this group of people together, even if someone makes things difficult for her, it won't make a difference.
When Cong Shan heard this, she nodded, deeply inspired.
"You take this money and use it. If it's not enough, send me a telegram." Xiang Nan then handed Cong Shan two thousand yuan.
In 1982, the purchasing power of this money was quite astonishing. At that time, the monthly salary of the workers was only 36 yuan, and it was only a few yuan to go to Lao Mo for a big meal.
With this money, Cong Shan will be a little rich woman. The so-called power of wealth is enough for her to recruit a group of confidants.
"Yes." Cong Shan didn't refuse, and took it directly.
Before 30,000 yuan was collected, so what is 2,000 yuan.
…
Accompanies Cong Shan in the mainland for a week, and then Xiang Nan returned to Xiangjiang.
At this time, "Best Partner" has just been released. The box office of more than 25 million Hong Kong dollars broke Xiangjiang's box office record again, and also made Xiang Nan Xiangjiang's chief star name more and more famous.
After returning to Xiangjiang, Xiang Nan hurriedly prepared to shoot "Police Story 2".
He has already written the script, and for this project, Golden Harvest naturally supports it very much.
Some people do the so-called beheading business, but no one does the money-losing business. Since they can make money, they certainly won't miss it.
So, "Police Story 2" began preparations.
Zhong Chuhong, Dong Piao, Wu Weiguo and other original crew were all recalled.
Before filming started, Xiang Nan also met Wang Jing.
"Congratulations, Director Wang, if you break the box office record again, you'll be in the limelight again." He said with a smile.
"Mr. Ning, don't make fun of me. Without you, how could this movie be so popular." Wang Jing waved his hand and smiled.
Xiang Nan also smiled, knowing that Wang Jing is a smart person, and he didn't become inflated because of his temporary success.
"Hey, don't be too modest. I asked you to direct because of your ability." He waved his hand and smiled, "How about it, what are you going to do next?"
"I still think comedies are more suitable for me." Wang Jing said with a smile, "Mr. Ning, here are some scripts I prepared, please help me see which one is more suitable for filming."
Xiang Nan nodded, read it for him, and then chose the script of "Modern Cinderella".
It tells the story of two thieves who hide stolen diamonds in leather shoes, only to be accidentally bought by a girl. In order to get back the diamonds, the stupid thief can only find ways to get close to the girl and stage a ridiculous and funny love comedy.
"I think this movie is very interesting, and it should be a hit." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Let will be the protagonist, and you can choose the heroine yourself."
He had seen the movie "Modern Cinderella" before, and it was quite interesting. I remember that the heroine is Zhang Manyu, but she probably hasn't entered the industry yet.
But Xiang Nan believes that it is not difficult to find female artists of her style. After all, Zhang Manyu in the early days of her debut acted as a playful and cute little beauty. It wasn't until she collaborated with Wong Kar Wai in "Carmen in Mong Kok" that she was enlightened and truly understood the true meaning of acting.
As for the actresses who are suitable to play [Cute and Cute Little Beauty], there are really not many actresses in Xiangjiang show business circle.
Wang Jing nodded, trusting Xiang Nan's vision.
…
"Police Story 2" began shooting immediately.
As soon as the filming started, it naturally attracted attention.
After all, the previous work was only released last year, and the sensation caused by it is still fresh in the memory of Xiangjiang people.
The media also came to interview and report one after another, but Xiang Nan kept secret about the plot, which made everyone even more curious.
Zheng Wenya learned about the start of filming of "Police Story 2" from the newspaper, and originally planned to take this opportunity to get back together with Xiang Nan.
But after waiting for several days in a row, seeing Zhong Chuhong, Dong Piao, Wu Weiguo, Tian Jun and others all returned, only she did not receive the notice, which made her very depressed.
"Are you so heartless that you don't even give me a chance to get back together?" Zheng Wenya thought in her heart, and she guessed that maybe it was because Xiang Nan broke up with her that she didn't send her announcement.
Since this is the case, she also gave up the idea of getting back together. It just so happened that New Art City asked her to make a film, and she accepted it.
As for Zheng Wenya's change of mind, Xiang Nan knew nothing about it.
But this is not a bad thing for him.
It is also a good thing to be able to break this relationship cleanly and stop making waves on the flat ground.
