Chapter 611 611 [I am going to invest in filming]
In early February 2002, Xiangjiang New Year's film "Unparalleled World" was screened in Xiangjiang, Taiwan and the Mainland.
Although this movie is very suspected of being fried, it is full of all kinds of outdated old memes, but because several leading actors Liang Chaowei, Xiang Nan, Wang Fei, and Zhao Wei are all popular stars.
Liu Zhenwei's reputation at this time was not bad, so he attracted a large number of audiences. In addition, it will be released during the Spring Festival, which fits into the two major situations, "New Year's Eve" and "Here Comes", and the audience's tolerance is relatively high, even bad movies can be tolerated.
Therefore, this movie actually achieved a good box office. The Hong Kong box office was 13 million, the mainland box office was 23 million, plus the box office of Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and other places, it actually made a lot of money.
Although Xiang Nan is only the second male lead, with this film, he looks familiar. After adding "Unparalleled World", "My Brothers and Sisters" was also released.
As soon as the movie was released, the box office exploded, and it also won 23 million box office in the mainland.
Although Xiang Nan only showed a small face in it, and all the scenes added up, even ten minutes are not enough, but he is a rare big star in the film, so he is still the focus of media attention.
Coupled with the fact that Zhiqing Studio took the opportunity to tout it, Xiang Nan's box office elixir and ratings superstar image became more consolidated, and it became more popular with audiences and film and television companies.
…
The filming of "The Son of Man" started in January, and by the beginning of April, the filming had basically been completed.
The shooting process, generally speaking, went smoothly.
But there are also many small frictions. Mainly the behind-the-scenes team, most of them are from Hong Kong and Taiwan. They are more in a group and prefer artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Hong Kong and Taiwan artists will be given more care in many aspects such as lighting, filming, and wire hanging. They even cut out the roles of mainland actors, or made things difficult for mainland actors for no reason.
This made Xiang Nan see it, and he was naturally upset.
So after filming "The Son of Man", he didn't even attend the wrap-up banquet, so he left Hengdian directly and returned to Yanjing.
…
After returning to Yanjing, Xiang Nan continued to record his own album, and at the same time prepared his graduation thesis to prepare for graduation.
To be honest, during the four years of university, Xiang Nan spent less than three months in Beiying. Fortunately, he was eager to learn, coupled with the school's preference, so he didn't fail a single course in the four years of college.
In comparison, Zhou Le, Li Bo, and Cheng Bin in the same dormitory all failed several subjects. It's really hard to say what to say when I'm approaching graduation and I'm still busy with making up exams.
At the end of May, Xiang Nan participated in the defense of his thesis, "My Opinion on Character Performance", which was highly praised by his instructor, successfully passed the defense, and successfully obtained his graduation certificate in mid-June.
After taking graduation photos, the students rubbed the floor again, saying goodbye to college life.
"Yuan Hua, you are a big star now, you can't leave us alone as classmates."
"Yuan Hua, if you have a suitable opportunity in the future, you must think about your brothers."
"Brother Hua, you are my own brother, I will hang out with you from now on, bring some brothers~"
At the wine table, everyone made a toast to Xiang Nan.
During the four years of university, the students in their class, except for Xiang Nan, almost didn't make it to the top.
Unlike the 1996 class, there were a large number of stars such as Zhao Wei, Chen Kun, Guo Xiaodong, Yan Danchen, Huang Xiaohuang, etc., and several of them became famous before they graduated.
"Don't worry, students, I will definitely think of you when I have an opportunity in the future." Xiang Nan raised his glass and said, "To be honest, I have already intended to invest in filming myself. When the time comes, everyone will come to help!"
"real?!"
"This is too risky."
The students were surprised when they heard this.
At this stage, the investment in filming is relatively large.
A low-budget movie costs three to five million. A 20-episode TV series costs at least eight or nine million. If the production is more elegant, more than 10 million is not uncommon.
Although Xiang Nan has made some money in the past few years, it seems very risky to invest in film and television dramas.
"Don't worry, I have a measure." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.
In the past few years, the national policy has been getting better and better, and the support for private capital investment in the entertainment industry is getting stronger and stronger.
The atmosphere here in Yanjing is quite conservative. In the south, in fact, as early as the 1990s, private capital had already begun to invest in film and television dramas.
Xiang Nan has worked in the industry for four years, and has accumulated rich contacts and experience. From preparation to production to distribution, Xiang Nan is familiar with every link, so he dares to invest by himself.
Seeing that he was so confident, the classmates stopped persuading him and begged Xiang Nan to give him a chance.
…
After the farewell banquet, the students left the school and went on their own journeys.
Actually, most of the people stayed in Yanjing, rented houses in the villages in the city, and planned to stay here and make a difference.
Naturally, Xiang Nan would not be so miserable. He has 42 real estate properties in Yanjing, and there are four courtyard houses alone.
When I bought it, it was only more than two million yuan. Now it has risen to more than three million. In another ten years, I am afraid that if there is not one or two hundred million, it will be impossible to get it down.
Xiang Nan is sitting under the grape arbor in his courtyard, eating iced watermelon while talking to Qiuya.
When he graduated, Qiuya also graduated.
"Yuan Hua, what are you going to do with me?" Qiu Ya asked with a smile while piercing a watermelon with a toothpick and putting it into Xiang Nan's mouth.
"It depends on what you want. You can choose the accountant, cashier, or my personal assistant in the studio." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If you don't want to do things, you can enjoy the happiness at home. Otherwise, I will give With a sum of money, you can also try to start your own business.”
"I'd better be your assistant." Qiuya thought for a while.
Accountants and cashiers seem to be in charge of money. But in fact, it is to order the girl to take the key, and it is not the master of the house. Without Xiang Nan's signature and seal, she couldn't take any money.
It is even more inappropriate to enjoy the blessings at home. If you stay away from Xiang Nan for a long time, you may be taken advantage of by others. At that time, it will be someone else to enjoy the happiness at home.
As for starting a business with a sum of money, it is not appropriate. If it were so easy to start a business, there would be no poor people in the world. Moreover, taking money to start a business is a one-shot deal. If you make money, it’s okay to say, if you lose money, do you still have the nerve to ask for more money?
So in comparison, it is better to be a personal assistant.
On the one hand, by following Xiang Nan all the time, he will be able to get the moon first; on the other hand, he can also drive away those mad bees and butterflies, and ensure that his position will not be taken away.
"Being a personal assistant is hard work, can you really bear that pain?" Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Don't force it."
"It's okay, I'm willing to serve you by your side." Qiu Ya smiled.
Xiang Nan nodded.
To be honest, he also prefers to have Qiu Ya as his assistant. In this way, he can also look at her at any time without being put on a hat by her.
