Save the Bachelor of Heaven

On December 5th, Yanjing held the college entrance examination.

As a senior high school student, Xiang Nan signed up for the college entrance examination.

His idea is, one red heart, two preparations.

In case the road of film and television does not work, then continue to study and then enter politics. In the 1980s, it was easier to do things with an official status.

If the road of film and television is smooth, then there will be time to suspend or drop out of school.

Anyway, with his strength, no matter which way he goes, the future is bright. He was just playing.

...

After the college entrance examination, while waiting for the results to be released at home, Zhu Mu suddenly came to Beijing to find Xiang Nan.

It turns out that "Serpentine" will be released at the end of November. After its release, the box office performed very well, breaking one million Hong Kong dollars in five days. Within half a month of its release, the box office reached 2.7 million Hong Kong dollars.

At that time, a movie with a box office of more than one million was considered a blockbuster.

The entire investment in "The Snake Shaped Hand" did not exceed 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the box office of 2.7 million Hong Kong dollars can be said to have made Zhu Mu a fortune.

What's more, Hong Kong films at that time were sold throughout the East. Hong Kong movies are popular in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea, etc., and the box office in other places is higher than that in Hong Kong.

Therefore, it is easy for Zhu Mu to earn two million Hong Kong dollars for this movie alone. And that was two million Hong Kong dollars in the 1970s, enough to buy four thousand-square-foot houses in the luxury residential area of ​​Mid-Levels.

Counting now, the purchasing power of 2 million can almost reach 200 million.

So Zhu Mu was naturally very happy, and did not hesitate to condescend to come to Beijing to pick up Xiang Nan in person. And as soon as they met, they would give Xiang Nan 50,000 Hong Kong dollars as a bonus.

He didn't expect the movie to be such a hit. He thought that with Xiang Nan as a newcomer, it would be good if it could sell 700,000 to 800,000 at the box office.

So he set a low salary for Xiang Nan, only 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. For mainlanders, 20,000 Hong Kong dollars is naturally considered a lot, and it may not be earned in a lifetime. But for artists in Hong Kong, the price is relatively low.

In the mid-1970s, Jackie Chan signed with Luo Wei's film company. Without filming for a month, the fixed salary is 3,000 Hong Kong dollars. The filming fee for "Serpentine Hands" was 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, Wu Siyuan said it was very cheap.

What's more, Xiang Nan is now a hit. If he doesn't increase his salary, the company can't stand it if he doesn't shoot well when he's filming, fishing for three days and posting on the net for two days.

So as soon as they met, Zhu Mu first gave Xiang Nan 50,000 Hong Kong dollars to please him.

If there is money to take, Xiang Nan naturally does not refuse.

...

"Ning Wei, what do you think we will make next movie?" Zhu Mu asked.

He no longer dared to underestimate this young man.

The success of the movie "The Serpentine Hand" has proved Xiang Nan's strength. It is really rare to find such an all-round artist who can act, fight, and edit.

There has only been one actor in the history of Xiangjiang film industry, and that is Bruce Lee. No wonder Xiang Nan said confidently that he didn't want to be the second Bruce Lee.

"Naturally, I will pursue the victory and continue to make action movies." Xiang Nan smiled, "This is a new script I wrote, you can read it."

Zhu Mu took it over and took a look, and saw two large characters on the cover - "Drunken Master".

He read it carefully, and couldn't stop praising, "Okay, it's well written, it's really well written. Ning Wei, your talent is really amazing, I didn't misunderstand the person."

Xiang Nan smiled.

Zhu Mu did not choose the wrong person in choosing him. He is the only one in the world.

"Since there is nothing wrong, let's hurry up and shoot." He said, "I can catch up with the start of school just after the shoot."

Zhu Mu nodded.

...

"Drunken Master" immediately started filming, basically using the original cast.

The protagonist Xiang Nan, the supporting roles Yuan Xiaoyun, Huang Zhengli, Shi Tian, ​​and the martial arts instructor is Yuan Heping.

Xiang Nan came to Xiangjiang to film on December 20th, and still shot in the countryside of the New Territories.

Just halfway through filming, the family sent a telegram, and Xiang Nan was admitted to the School of Foreign Languages ​​of Yenching University with super high scores.

Such grades, such a school, and such a major made Ning Weiguo and Qi Aihong very happy.

They didn't expect their son to do so well in the exam, and they thought that practicing martial arts for so many years had delayed his studies. They originally thought that they would be satisfied even if Xiang Nan took the junior college exam.

Yuying Middle School was also a sensation. Although many students from their school were admitted to university, Xiang Nan's performance was a bit unexpected.

After all, in everyone's eyes, he is a warrior. In people's minds, they have well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

Who would have thought that he could still be admitted to a university, and with a near-perfect score, he was admitted to Peking University, which really surprised everyone.

But Cong Shan was not surprised. She knew earlier that Xiang Nan was not as rude as people imagined. He is actually a very talented, intelligent, and thoughtful person, far smarter than everyone imagined.

When the crew of "Drunken Master" heard that Xiang Nan had been admitted to Peking University, they were also surprised.

At that time, there were not many highly educated people in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry. Not to mention those who have gone to college, even those who have gone to high school are considered highly educated.

People like Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuan Heping have played since elementary school, and they didn't even finish elementary school. Therefore, Xiang Nan, a college student, is quite powerful, so he naturally makes people look up to him even more.

...

"My little fellow, it's not bad. Yenching University is one of the best schools." Yuan Xiaoming said admiringly.

Peking University was already a well-known university in the country during the period of the Republic of China. Yuan Xiaoyun has naturally heard of its name.

And everything is low-grade, but the idea that reading is high has already penetrated into the bones of the Chinese people. As long as they can go to school and have a good future, no one will let their children learn opera and martial arts.

So he admired and envied Xiang Nan for being admitted to a prestigious school like Peking University.

"Thank you, old man, for your compliment." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"You still want to go to college in the future, don't stay in the showbiz." Yuan Xiaoming also suggested, "People don't have a thousand days to be happy, and flowers don't have a hundred days to be popular. As an artist, you are always young, and you won't be popular for a few years. How about Go to school, come out and arrange a job, enough to eat for a lifetime."

"Yes, you're right, you're old-fashioned." Xiang Nan nodded.

Being an artist is indeed not a stable career. A drama can quickly become popular when it becomes popular, and similarly, a drama can quickly pass away if it fails. Throughout the ages, similar examples have long been numerous.

So if there is another better way out, people at that time would not recommend entering the entertainment industry.

Unlike the current mainland, the entertainment industry is a gold mine, and small 18th-tier artists earn hundreds of thousands a year. Anyone who is a bit famous can easily earn tens of millions a year. So those rich people scrambled to send their children in.

Yuan Xiaoyun's persuasion to him was indeed for his own good. However, Xiang Nan has a foresight, and it's really not that easy to pass his breath. Of course, this is not suitable for people to say.
