Chapter 364 365 [Popularity Rise] (Add more updates for book friend Yinyue Tianlang, thank you for your support!)
In the next few days, the movie "Garland Under the Mountain" continued to hit theaters, and it even reached the point where it was hard to get a ticket.
Ma Weidu went out of his way to ask Xiang Nan for a ticket, saying that his family all wanted to watch this movie. But I had no choice but to go to seven or eight theaters, but couldn't get a ticket, so I wanted to ask Xiang Nan if he had any extra tickets.
"Don't ask me about movie tickets." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I went to see this movie because I bought the tickets myself."
Ma Weidu had no choice but to listen to it. But he still gave a thumbs up, "Brother Liu, I went to see that movie. I have to say, your acting is really good, it made me cry."
…
And Suizi's roommate also went to see the movie. After watching the movie, they went back to the dormitory and surrounded Suizi.
"Why?!" Suizi asked suspiciously.
"Suizi, we are all good sisters, you can't hide things from us, right?" the dormitory elder sister said.
"I have nothing to hide from you." Suizi waved her hand and said.
"Then the man who came to you last year was Liu Feng who played the role of Liang Sanxi in "A Garland Under the Mountain"?" Sanmei asked.
"Yes, that's him." Suizi nodded.
"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier. Suizi, you still know such a powerful person." Sixth Sister shouted excitedly.
"Then what is your relationship with him? Is he your boyfriend? Do you come home every week just to see him?" Fourth Sister asked.
"Stop talking nonsense." Suizi blushed when she heard this, "He was the head of the art troupe when I was in it, and he was already married a long time ago."
"Ah, no way!" Fifth Sister said with a look of disappointment.
"Hey, Suizi, you said before that your team leader is a writer, why is he now an actor?" the elder sister said suddenly.
"He has always been versatile." Suizi said proudly.
Xiang Nan has a lot of abilities, the more time you spend with him, the more you will be impressed by his talent. Suizi still remembers the scene when she learned English with Xiang Nan.
He speaks extremely standard English, even more fluent than the announcer on the radio, it is simply amazing.
"Oh, I used to hear you mention him all the time. I thought he was an elderly person, but I didn't expect him to be so young." Third Sister said with emotion.
Everyone nodded when they heard it.
Before I always heard Suizi mention her leader. In their thinking, since they can be promoted to the head of the regiment and write so many songs and novels, they must be at least forty or fifty years old.
Now after watching the movie, I realize that they are about the same age as them, only in their twenties and thirties. But the achievements they have made are beyond their reach, and they are really shocked.
"Suizi, to be honest, are you interested in him?" the eldest sister asked with a smile.
"Oh, stop talking nonsense, she got married two years ago." Suizi quickly waved her hands.
"Haha, it seems interesting." Everyone laughed when they heard what she said.
…
At the beginning, she was moved by what Xiang Nan did for her, so she liked him.
For example, recruiting her into the creative team, giving her credit for the song, diving to save her when fighting floods, etc.
Later, as the time spent together grew longer, she was unconsciously attracted to Xiang Nan.
His talent, his charm, his self-confidence, his single-mindedness, his bravery, his strength...the longer she was with him, the more she was attracted to him. From then on, I couldn't stop falling in love with him deeply.
It's just that Xiang Nan is already married to Xiaoping, so she has no choice but to bury this feeling in her heart without telling anyone.
…
With the popularity of "The Garland Under the Mountain", Xiang Nan, who played the leading role, was very popular with the audience because of his lovable role as Liang Sanxi. Popularity soars
The "Popular Film" magazine came to interview him specially, and took his photo for the cover. And with this report, people know that he who dared to play the leading role is the author of the original novel, and he is also a well-known writer, a battle hero...
For a while, Xiang Nan's popularity soared rapidly. If in the 1980s, the entertainment industry in the mainland also had top streamers, then Xiang Nan was undoubtedly the top streamer.
After Xiang Nan became famous, his first feeling was that he couldn't go out shopping anymore.
As soon as he leaves the house, he can be recognized within a hundred meters, and then they will come forward and surround him excitedly. Those who asked for autographs, those who asked for a group photo, those who shook hands, those who hugged, and so on.
So for the sake of trouble, he rarely goes out.
Fortunately, he is a writer by profession, so he can just sit at home and write. I was really bored, so I put on a mask and sunglasses and went out.
The second feeling is that celebrities really make a lot of money.
At that time, most artists still earned dead wages. But for popular artists, they can also go out and perform and earn more money. It is also known as "private performance and private distribution", that is, actors in the system privately accept performances outside to make money.
Generally speaking, the more famous, the higher the status, and the more popular the star, the higher the price of going out.
Like Xiang Nan became popular because of "A Garland Under the Mountain", plus he can sing and dance, he can earn more money. The price offered by Acupuncture, the price of a song, has reached 1,000 yuan.
That is to say, for a performance, Xiang Nan can get 1,000 yuan for only singing one song. That's more than most people make in a year's salary.
But although the price was quite high, Xiang Nan refused all of them.
On the one hand, walking around is an illegal performance after all, and it also involves tax evasion and so on. It's okay if the country doesn't care, as long as it manages, it will catch one accurately. At that time, it will be a trivial matter to pay taxes. If you want to be arrested, it will really outweigh the gain.
Even if the regiment finds out, it’s not good. If he is fired by the General Administration again, he won’t be able to make up for it no matter how much he earns. We must know that although the system makes less money, it has benefits that are not available outside the system.
On the other hand, Xiang Nan has his own way of making money, so he really can't afford to go through the muddy water. You must know that since acupoint walking is an illegal performance, there is no guarantee for it.
The organizer is irregular, the venue of the performance is irregular, and the partners are also irregular. Either party may have problems. Those who steal money, those who cheat money, those who are detained, those who harass...the list goes on and on.
In the past two years, Xiang Nan has heard many such things. For example, there are singers in the General Political Department who go to the acupuncture points. After the performance, they have no money and are entangled by local hooligans. If it wasn't for seeing the opportunity quickly, I almost wouldn't be able to come back.
Because of this, Xiang Nan is not going to participate in acupuncture, but he still enjoys this kind of vanity.
To be welcomed by so many people and to make them pay such a high price is considered a success.
