Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Zhang Yimou glanced at the script and was taken aback for a moment.

He had read the script of "Raise the Red Lantern" before. When he saw it, he was astonished. I can't believe that such a good show is actually written by a senior student.

"Professor Cheng, do you want me to make this film?" Zhang Yimou asked afterwards.

Xiang Nan nodded, "Director Zhang, I have always admired you. I think you are one of the few directors in China who can shoot my story well. So I want you to shoot this movie."

"Thank you for your love. I will fulfill my mission." Hearing what he said, Zhang Yimou nodded movedly.

A scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman tolerates a person who pleases her. Xiang Nan praised him so much, so he naturally respected Xiang Nan.

"Okay, but let's talk about it in advance. This time, I ask the heroine to use Gong Li." Xiang Nan nodded and said.

Zhang Yimou was taken aback, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. To tell you the truth, I think I made a mistake in choosing Shi Ke last time."

"How to say?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"Although Shi Ke has a good appearance and good acting skills, he is too proud. He went to the countryside to experience life, complained a lot, and didn't settle down to learn. When filming, he was always disobedient and always had his own ideas." Zhang Yimou explained Said, "If the filming hadn't started, I really want to change her."

"Don't worry, Gong Li won't." Xiang Nan nodded, "If she does, tell me, and I'll spank her back."

Zhang Yimou blinked his eyes, very obediently did not go into details.

He has been in this circle for several years, and he has heard many similar things. It's just that he didn't expect that Xiang Nan would do the same.

...

Half a month later, Zhang Yimou announced that he would direct Raise the Red Lantern.

This news caused a sensation in the film industry, and also made many actors move after hearing the news.

Zhang Yimou has just won the Golden Bear Award, and he is the hottest director in the Mainland. Coupled with "Raise the Red Lantern", it is another proud work of Xiang Nan.

Therefore, the probability of this drama becoming popular is very high. If they win another international award, then they will become famous overseas and become international movie stars.

Therefore, many actors recommended themselves, hoping to star in the show, and many of them are big-name stars. Shi Ke, for example, is very willing to cooperate with Zhang Yimou again.

However, Zhang Yimou did not agree immediately, only said that he would consider it.

In fact, he has already decided on Gong Li. And Gong Li has been thinking about the script and the characters these days, in order to play the heroine well, so as to become a blockbuster.

You know, after graduating from university, those of her classmates have already filmed movies. Only she adhered to the principle that she would rather eat a bite of fairy peaches than a basket of rotten apricots. She didn't even accept the filming of a film, but she wanted to make a shocking work and become famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

And "Raise the Red Lantern" is such an opportunity, she will never miss it.

...

Entering May, "Raise the Red Lantern" also officially announced the starring lineup. The heroine Gong Li, the third wife He Saifei, the second wife Cao Cuifen...

The announcement of this lineup surprised the outside world.

Because everyone thought that Shi Ke would be the heroine.

When Shi Ke was interviewed by "Popular Cinema", he said openly that he would cooperate with Zhang Yimou for the second time. But he didn't expect that his classmate Gong Li would take the initiative.

When Zhang Yimou explained the choice of the heroine, he said that Gong Li was chosen by Xiang Nan and him. They all think that Gong Li is the most suitable to play this role.

After getting this explanation, the outside world has expectations for Gong Li. To satisfy both the director and the original author, what is this lucky girl supposed to be like.

Therefore, before the filming of the film, Gong Li was already popular.

Not only did her name and photos appear in the major media, but some advertisers even wanted to invite her to shoot commercials while she was not popular. I'm going to launch it after she becomes popular.

I have to say that there are smart people in every age.

Seeing that he was the focus, Gong Li was very excited, he couldn't hold it back for a while, his tail was a little upturned.

Not only was he busy with interviews every day, but he also put on a show in front of Xiang Nan, and he was no longer as obedient as before.

"You'd better restrain yourself. Don't forget, you haven't made a movie yet, and your current popularity is completely false." Xiang Nan reminded her, "If you don't understand the characters deeply, and you end up The results presented are not good. How much the current media praises you, the future media will depreciate you.

And, do you know why Director Zhang chose you instead of working with Shi Ke for the second time? "

"Why?" Gong Li was taken aback and asked curiously.

"It's because when Shi Ke was filming, he thought he had filmed before and was regarded as a star, so he always went against him." Xiang Nan explained, "So when Director Zhang makes films again, he would rather cooperate with newcomers than Worked with Scott.

But you are not as good as Shi Kehong now, you have learned to play big cards, what do you make Director Zhang think? Don't forget, the movie hasn't officially started shooting yet. As long as it's not in theaters for a day, you're not really a heroine. "

When Gong Li heard this, he was startled, and he really restrained himself a lot in the future.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan was satisfied.

He is not afraid of Gong Li's stabbing, he can hold her up to the sky, and he can also trample her into the mud.

...

In the same month, at the Golden Eagle Awards Ceremony held in Shengjing, "Desire", written by Xiang Nan and Feng Xiaogang, directed by Zheng Xiaolong, starring Zhu Lin, Chen Baoguo and Pu Yu, won the Excellent TV Drama Award, the Best Actor and Actor Award and other important awards again. It's well deserved.

As a result, Zhu Lin became the first Best Actress to win the Golden Eagle Awards since the establishment of the Golden Eagle Awards.

...

In June, "Raise the Red Lantern" officially started filming in Qiao's compound in Qi County.

At the same time, Xiang Nan launched "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire".

After the novel was released, it attracted panic buying again.

Now the "Harry Potter" series has become a well-known novel in Europe and the United States, and its cumulative sales have exceeded 20 million copies, which can be said to be very popular.

Therefore, its peripheral products are very popular. Cartoons like Harry Potter are now being produced by Hannah Barbara, a well-known American animation company. The first season has been launched, and the ratings are very good.

The video game "Harry Potter" adapted from the novel has also been developed by EA and has landed on Nintendo's red and white machines, selling nearly one million copies.

Now the launch of this sequel has set off a new wave of Harry Potter fever, which also makes these companies very happy. The hotter Harry Potter is, the more money they make.

As an author, Xiang Nan can get a commission from it, and naturally he can also earn a lot, which is a good thing.

...

In August, Guan Xiaoguan successfully gave birth to a baby boy in the United States.

After thinking about it, Xiang Nan gave him the word [Qing].

Guan Xiaoguan named him Guan Qing after his own surname, and his English name was Harry.

After giving birth to a child, Guan Xiaoguan divorced her husband on the grounds of cheating in September.

Her husband took half a million dollars and happily signed it.

Guan Xiaoguan's parents once wanted to persuade them, but they were pushed back by their daughter, and they could only watch their daughter become a single mother.

After the divorce, Guan Xiaoguan returned to China with the children.
