Save the Bachelor of Heaven

The people Feng Xiaogang listed are all well-known big shots.

Needless to say, Wang Tong was the most popular writer in the mainland in the 1980s and 1990s; Su Tong, Hai Zhi, and Liu Zhenyun were a little bit less, and they were also the best in the literary world.

Su Tong's "Wives and Concubines" was once adapted by Zhang Yimou as "Raise the Red Lantern"; Hai Zhi's "Never Close Your Eyes", "A Romance", "What Can I Take to Save You, My Lover", etc. , were also famous for a while; Liu Zhenyun's "Chicken Feather", "My Name is Liu Yuejin", "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", etc., have also been adapted into film and television dramas.

Zheng Xiaolong is also a big man who cannot be ignored in the mainland TV industry, and has created many firsts. For example, the first full-length TV series "Four Generations Under One Roof", the first indoor feature-length drama "Longing", the first TV series "Story of the Editorial Department", the first TV series "Yanjing People Are in the World" filmed entirely abroad New York"……

In addition, his representative works include "Golden Wedding", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Red Sorghum", "Youth Bao Qingtian", and so on. It can be said that he is a pivotal figure in the mainland entertainment industry.

However, Xiang Nan knew that Feng Xiaogang was pulling the banner as a tiger's skin right now. He may know and deal with these people, but it is absolutely impossible for them to be ferromagnetic.

Because he is now a member of the crew, and those people are all much higher status than him. Moreover, most of those people were born in the big courtyard, and their eyes had always been on the top of their heads, so how could they call him brothers and sisters? They were just like Xiang Nan, taking him for fun.

...

"They were all raised by me, and grew up together." Feng Xiaogang said with a shy face, he was actually half of the family.

His father was also a soldier back then, and he lived in the Xi'an Jiaotong Party School compound earlier. Later, after his parents divorced, he and his mother moved to an alley in Xicheng District.

So seriously, he is actually a child who grew up in Hutong, but he was born with a yearning for the compound.

After all, at that time, no matter the living conditions, political status, spiritual outlook, or future prospects of the children in the big courtyard, they were better than the children in the Hutong.

For example, serving in the army was the most fashionable thing in the 1960s and 1970s. It is basically a matter of one sentence for the children of the big courtyard to become soldiers. But it is very difficult for Hutong children to become soldiers.

Both Cheng Jianjun and Han Chunming wanted to join the army after graduating from middle school, but they were all sold out, so they had to go to the countryside in the end.

Xiang Nan didn't expose Feng Xiaogang's lies, but he didn't have much interest in being friends with Wang Yi, Hai Qiang, Ma Weidu, Zheng Xiaolong and others.

Because most of those people were born in the big courtyard. The same background, the same knowledge, and the same thinking have already bound them together into an interest group.

If Xiang Nan was a young writer like Su Tong and Liu Zhenyun, he had no background, no backing, and his career had just started, so if he took refuge in the past, he would be considered a big tree to enjoy the shade.

But the key point is that Xiang Nan himself is a big tree, and his influence is not less than that of Wang Yi, Hai Zhi, Ma Weidu, and Zheng Xiaolong. So if he wants to go there, he must not be the younger brother, but only the boss, and the key people are not happy.

Therefore, they can be allies at most, and they may even be opponents, but they can never be friends.

"Forget it, we're not from the same way, we don't agree with each other if we have different ways. I will disappear with them, and we will talk about it when we have a chance to cooperate in the future." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

Hearing what he said, Feng Xiaogang could only nod his head.

...

After the crew of "Triumph in the Midnight" returned to Beijing, Xiang Nan was not in a hurry to contact Zhu Lin. He was waiting for an opportunity, the most worthwhile opportunity.

In the process of waiting for the opportunity, "Dream of Red Mansions" was officially completed in February, and it is expected to be officially broadcast in the summer vacation. This is a good thing for Xiang Nan. After all, this TV series was originally written by him.

At the end of January, Xiang Nan completed the translation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which was published by Random House.

After reviewing it, Random House found no problems, and thought the book was imaginative, interesting, and had certain market prospects, so they printed 10,000 copies and tried to distribute it.

Xiang Nan also received nearly 100,000 US dollars in remuneration, mainly from the remuneration for the English version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". As for the royalties, it was only a measly ten thousand dollars.

After the news spread, many people were secretly delighted.

Since ancient times, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. From 1976 to now, Xiang Nan has been popular for almost ten years, and he has always been aloof, who can not be jealous.

Now that he has finally stumbled, naturally some people are happy and some are secretly delighted.

"You can only make a lot of money by printing 10,000 copies. If you knew it earlier, you might as well get the one million copies."

"I thought he could disdain the United States, but in the end, only 10,000 copies were printed, which is the level of a new author."

"I said earlier that he is not good. He has never even been out of the country, so he knows what foreigners like? Is it completely behind closed doors?"

Some people said sourly one after another, they are all those who say sour when they can't eat grapes.

Xiang Nan didn't care about this, because gold always shines. He believes that as long as it is a good book, it is impossible to be ignored.

Just like the novel website decades later, there are millions of novels. But who looks good and who doesn't, you can't hide it from anyone.

Taking a step back, even if the novel is not popular, it will not be a big loss to him. One million dollars may be an astronomical figure for others.

To Xiang Nan, it was just a floating cloud. He has earned tens of billions, is he still short of this money?

...

In February, "Triumph in Midnight" was officially broadcast on CCTV.

Once it was aired, it caused a sensation and received extremely high ratings.

The romantic love story, magnificent battle scenes, and noble revolutionary friendship... make this drama deeply touching, captivating countless audiences, and also boosting the popularity of actors such as Zhu Lin and Shi Zhaoqi.

As the author and screenwriter of the original novel, Xiang Nan naturally benefited a lot. Not only did the original novel "Triumph in the Midnight" sell well again, but his influence in the film and television industry also soared.

Because of this, when it was heard that his other script "Desire" was being prepared for filming, many actors rushed to sign up, hoping to take part in the role.

After all, Shi Zhaoqi and Zhu Lin are role models. Both of them became so popular all over the country because of their roles in "Triumph in Midnight". Who can not envy them. Just like in the 1990s, when Haizhu dramas became popular, so many people rushed to be in his dramas.

Xiang Nan saw that the waiting time had finally come.

So as a screenwriter, he immediately recommended Zhu Lin to the crew as the lead actor.

The reason he gave was that when he first wrote the heroine, he wrote it according to Zhu Lin's appearance, so this role must be played by her.

After thinking about it, the leaders of the art center also felt that Zhu Lin was more suitable to play, so they agreed to Xiang Nan's request.
