Chapter 587 588 [Where there is no grass in the end of the world]
The reason why Xiang Nan did not participate in the audition for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was not because he had already joined the crew of "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog".
It is because he knows in his heart that it is impossible for a Hong Kong and Taiwan director like Li An to reuse mainland actors. Even if mainland actors can join his crew, they are only carrying sedan chairs for Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.
For example, Li Bingbing, who was already a first-line star in the mainland, filmed "A Hundred Years of Love", "Mice in Love with Cats", and "Flying Eagle" in Xiangjiang, all of which were supporting roles or even villains;
Chen Daoming with such a big wrist, a brother in the mainland TV drama industry, went to Xiangjiang to shoot "Infernal Affairs 3", and he was only a supporting role; , "2046", still playing a supporting role.
Xiang Nan also heard a rumor. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, he thought it made sense.
The rumors are true, the director of Xiangjiang cooperates with Taiwanese capital, and helps Hong Kong and Taiwan artists to raise their positions by using mainland actors, and then harvests the mainland market.
The most typical example is "Red Cliff". Zhao Wei, Hu Jun, Hou Yong, Tong Dawei, Xiao Song Jia... There are a large number of first-line mainland actors who have good looks, acting skills and reputation, but they can only play supporting roles in the film.
In comparison, Lin Zhiling is a model who has no acting skills at all, but she is the heroine in the film, and she has a very important role.
The so-called groundless rumors are not necessarily without reason. This kind of thing is still worthy of vigilance.
That's why Xiang Nan disdains being a stepping stone for others.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has nothing to do with him no matter how much investment, no matter how sophisticated the production, no matter how powerful the lineup is, and no matter how famous the director is.
…
Xiang Nan was still busy with the casting audition for "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog".
To be honest, he really found a lot of good seedlings.
Such as Gao Yuanyuan, Ma Yili, Haiqing, Tao Hong, Li Xiaoran, Li Bingbing, Hao Lei, Huang Yi, Dong Xuan, Chen Shu, etc.
They were all very interested in being in this movie.
First, Director Huo Jianqi has directed "Winner" and "Singer" before. Although the box office is not high, the evaluation of him in the circle is very good.
Secondly, in the 1990s, the film and television drama market was sluggish. It was already a rare thing for actors to have a movie to shoot, and there was nothing to choose.
Three times, the cast of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is not bad. The male lead Xiang Nan and the second male lead Teng Rujun are both well-known entertainers.
Especially Xiang Nan, who starred in "It's Okay to Be Happy" just won tens of millions of box office, and then starred in "My Father and Mother" directed by Zhang Yimou, like a rising star. Naturally, someone is willing to cooperate with him.
And so many beauties participated in the audition, Xiang Nan couldn't help but be dazzled. After his further contacts, he finally chose Gao Yuanyuan.
First, her image is fresh and natural, more in line with the characteristics of a girl in the mountains; second, Xiang Nan likes her more in the real world, and working with her now can fulfill his dream; third, Gao Yuanyuan likes music, and he is still his little girl. Fanmei is familiar with every song of his, and even the song "Look at the Girl Opposite", which has not been officially released, has been collected by her.
Since cooperating with anyone is cooperation, why not choose someone you like and also like yourself.
…
After the audition for "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is over, the program team will officially set off to shoot in Xiangxi.
Before leaving, Xiang Nan exchanged feelings with Qiu Ya and Miao Pu respectively.
Miao Pu was very reluctant to leave Xiang Nan again.
He was separated from her for half a year for the filming of "My Father and Mother". Although there were a few meetings in the middle, but after all, there was too little time. Men and women in love can't wait to stick together every day.
Now that he has just been reunited, he is going to Xiangxi to film a movie again. She didn't know how long it would take this time, so she was naturally very reluctant.
"I wish I could go with you. It's a pity that I didn't succeed in the audition." Miao Pu said regretfully.
"That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", she also went to audition, but she was rejected in the first round.
Xiang Nan nodded.
Miao Pu was brushed, he did it on purpose. It was so easy to go to Xiangxi to film a movie, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, why did he bring her with him again.
"So you have to study harder." He then comforted, "When you learn it and your acting skills are excellent, then you will naturally be able to cooperate with me."
"Yes." Miao Pu nodded, "Then be careful outside."
"Don't worry, I will." Xiang Nan smiled.
…
As for Qiu Ya, she was very supportive of Xiang Nan's filming, "Yuan Hua, you go, you must do a good job, and hit another high box office."
"Why, are you so willing to leave me?" Xiang Nan asked doubtfully when he saw this.
Although Qiu Ya was not clingy, which made him feel relieved, but being so unloved by others also made him a little unhappy.
"Of course not. But I know, you are doing it for your career, how can I hold you back." Qiu Ya waved her hand and explained.
Xiang Nan nodded.
Qiuya really puts more emphasis on career than emotion.
In the movie, she is all about urging Charlotte to start a career. Obviously he couldn't even write a song, but she urged him to write a song and sell it everywhere. She is happy whenever Charlotte writes a new song, but when he can't write it, she makes a long face.
"Having said that, I still hope that you can be a little more sympathetic." Xiang Nan smiled, "At least this will make me feel that there is still affection between us, rather than a relationship of Chiguoguo's interests."
When Qiuya heard this, her face froze immediately, and she quickly smiled awkwardly, "Where did you go, of course I love you. I love you so much that I am crazy about it. I don't even care about so many boys chasing me at school." Their."
"I hope you are telling the truth." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Otherwise, if I know you lied to me, you don't even want to take a cent of my tens of millions of assets."
"Ten million assets?!" Qiu Ya's eyes widened when she heard this.
With a net worth of tens of millions, at that time, he was definitely considered a wealthy man.
"Not bad." Xiang Nan nodded. If you count the value of the antiques and oil paintings he bought, it would not be uncommon for him to exceed 100 million. "You can weigh it yourself."
Qiu Ya immediately hugged Xiang Nan's arm tenderly, "Why don't you stay for a few more days, and I'll ask for leave to accompany you well."
"No need, just remember your identity." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
…
As for Zhang Ziyi, after returning from Donggou, he lost contact with Xiang Nan.
The phone calls were not answered, the text messages were not returned, as if the world had evaporated, which made Xiang Nan quite puzzled.
However, he is not the kind of stalker. There is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world, why bother to love a single flower.
Besides, she is not the target of the mission. He didn't have to stick to her alone.
So Xiang Nan didn't look for her again, and set off with the crew to Xiangxi in early September.
