Chapter 582 583 [My father and mother]
On February 11th, Xiang Nan officially reported to the crew of "My Father and Mother".
There, Xiang Nan also met Zhang Ziyi for the first time.
The 20-year-old Zhang Ziyi is really as tender as a flower, fresh and crisp, making people unable to take their eyes off just by looking at it.
"Ms. Zhang, hello, I'm Yuan Hua. I'm very glad to cooperate with you this time." Xiang Nan greeted proactively.
"Hello, Mr. Yuan, I am also very happy to cooperate with you." Facing Xiang Nan, Zhang Ziyi was a little humble, "To be honest, I am still your fan."
Xiang Nan is now a popular singer, well-known throughout the country. An album sells millions of copies, and there are not many singers in China who are more popular than him.
In terms of popularity alone, I am afraid it is the first in the entire crew.
And as far as she knew, Zhang Yimou originally chose other actors to play Luo Changyu, and one of them, Zheng Hao, had better qualifications than Xiang Nan. The image, temperament, and acting skills are all unquestionable.
But the producer Zhang Weiping strongly recommended Xiang Nan to play the role, and said that if he starred in this movie, the box office would be more guaranteed. In the end, Zhang Yimou couldn't beat him, so he accepted his opinion.
It can be seen that Xiang Nan is backed by a producer, or in other words, supported by millions of fans. Unlike her, an unknown little actor, being able to play the role of Zhao Di'er is really smoke from the ancestral grave.
"Yes, thank you." Xiang Nan smiled.
"I'm not being polite. I like listening to your song "Flying Higher" the most." Zhang Ziyi was afraid that he would think he was a fake polite, so he quickly added, "I want to fly higher, fly higher. It's like a strong wind Dance, get out of your arms... How do you hear me singing, are you not out of tune?"
Xiang Nan shook his head with a smile, "No, the singing is quite standard. You may consider releasing an album in the future."
"Stop making fun of me, I'm not good at it." Zhang Ziyi waved his hand and laughed.
…
After a brief chat with Zhang Ziyi, Xiang Nan met the young King Yan—Sun Honglei again.
Sun Honglei also graduated from Chinese opera, but he is not an acting major, but a junior college class in musical drama. But the hero doesn't care about his background, his achievements in the future will rank among the top among all the graduates of Chinese opera.
Xiang Nan likes his performances in "Conquer", "Latent", "Halfway Couple", "Drug War", "The Righteous Way in the World Is Vicissitudes" and so on.
"Mr. Sun, hello, nice to meet, nice to meet." Xiang Nan shook Sun Honglei's hand.
"Don't, don't, it's my honor." Sun Honglei was flattered, and quickly thanked her.
"Mr. Yuan, I'm also your fan. I really like your songs. I bought both of your albums. I listen to them every day. I can't get enough of them." Sun Honglei laughed again.
"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded, thinking that I am also a fan of your drama.
…
After the crew gathered together, they immediately took a bus to Fengning County, Rehe.
As for costumes, props, lights, cameras and other equipment, they will be transported by truck.
In addition, Tang Wei also drove Xiang Nan's Audi car and followed behind the convoy. She will stay with Xiang Nan on the dam so that she can serve him conveniently.
As for Yan Yan staying in the capital, it is convenient to handle affairs here.
"Mr. Yuan, is that Audi yours?" Zhang Ziyi was sitting next to Xiang Nan, looking at the Audi outside the window, he couldn't help but enviously said.
In the 1990s, cars were very expensive. Even small cars like Changhe, Xiali, and Alto cost tens of thousands of yuan. It may not sound like much, but in the late 1990s, workers' monthly wages were generally only a few hundred yuan.
As for BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz, the prices can easily range from tens to millions, which is far from what ordinary people can afford.
Zhang Ziyi saw that he said that changing a car was easier than changing clothes, so he couldn't help looking at him enviously, "Then what car do you want to change?"
"I'm going to change to a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which has both superior driving performance and a comfortable ride experience." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Yes, it sounds like a good car." Zhang Ziyi smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan, I really don't know much about cars. Can you teach me?"
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, and talked eloquently, "Buying a car is like eating, it depends on your needs. For example, if you are a boss, you usually buy it..."
Although he doesn't know much about cars, it is definitely enough to fool a layman like Zhang Ziyi.
Furthermore, when Zhang Ziyi asked him for advice on cars, he was just looking for an excuse to chat with him and get close to him. So even if Xiang Nan is talking nonsense, she will look at him with admiration, nodding her head to meet him from time to time,
Thus, along the way, the two talked and chatted, and the relationship progressed rapidly.
…
In the late 1990s, the infrastructure construction in the Mainland was not very good.
Therefore, in 2020, it took only four hours to get there, but it took nearly eight hours to finally reach the destination—Donggou Village, Fengning County.
After arriving in the village, it was already dark, so arrange the accommodation first.
All the cast and crew are arranged to live in fellow villagers.
The drama manager had already rented a house in the village before, and because he was paid a lot, the monthly rent was only 300 yuan, so the villagers happily vacated the house. There are those who can't get a rental, and they are all envious.
Xiang Nan was originally arranged to share a suite with Sun Honglei. He lives in the East House, and Sun lives in the West House. But because Tang Wei also came, she had to stay by Xiang Nan's side to serve her, so this arrangement was inappropriate.
"Mr. Yuan, you can let her live in my room, or I can share a room with someone else." Sun Honglei was sensible, and said hastily upon seeing this.
"Hey, don't, how about this, if you don't think I'm noisy, let's squeeze together for a night first." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "We will consider renting a house tomorrow. The village is quite big, and we should be able to find a house."
"Okay, whatever you say." Sun Honglei nodded and said.
…
After the accommodation is arranged, everyone is ready to eat.
But I don’t know how long it will take for the master to prepare the meal.
After all, you have to build a stove, light a fire, cook vegetables, and steam rice. Therefore, basically, if there are conditions, solve it yourself first.
"I have instant noodles in my car, why don't we cook instant noodles." Xiang Nan invited Sun Honglei with a smile.
"Okay, then I'm all covered." Sun Honglei laughed.
Xiang Nan then ordered Tang Wei to light a fire and boil water.
"Yuan Shuai, how do you use this stove?" Tang Wei looked at the big stove in the farmhouse, and kept being silly. This is the first time she has seen this kind of stove, let alone how to use it.
Sun Honglei looked at the stove, feeling a little dazed. He is also a child in the city, and he doesn't understand this stuff.
"Forget it, I'll do it." Seeing this, Xiang Nan smiled and said.
Immediately, he brought firewood, poured water, lit a fire, and cooked a pot of delicious instant noodles.
Sun Honglei and Tang Wei couldn't help being a little stunned seeing him doing his work skillfully.
Neither of them expected that Xiang Nan, a big star, would know so much about rural life. It's really not easy!
