Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Huo Jianqi has been working on the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" for more than half a year, but he still hasn't found anyone who is willing to invest.

There is no way, at this stage, the film market in the mainland is very sluggish, and there are really very few films that can hit the blockbuster. For example, "It's Okay to Steal Fun" has a box office of only 13 million, and it has already ranked among the top ten box office of the year.

"That Mountain That Man That Dog" is a literary film, and it tells the story of the postman in the mountain. It is not explosive, not exciting, and not funny at all. So no one is foolish enough to throw money in the river.

Huo Jianqi had no choice but to ask Xiang Nan for help.

Although he felt that he would cheat Xiang Nan and make him feel very sorry, but this movie is his painstaking effort, and he really doesn't want to give up, so he can only be cheeky.

Xiang Nan immediately returned to the capital, and spent two million RMB out of his own pocket to invest in "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog".

"Mr. Yuan, I really appreciate you very much!" Huo Jianqi was very excited as he held the check.

If it weren't for Xiang Nan's age being too young, he would have knelt down and kowtowed to him for fear of ruining his life.

"Director Huo, you're welcome, it's all for art." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "However, I'm not investing in vain. I also have two conditions."

Huo Jianqi nodded, "As long as it doesn't violate the principle, you can say it."

With the reform of the film industry and the influx of capital into the market, the market has become increasingly chaotic. Those who have the right to speak have changed from the previous directors to investors, and their intervention in the film is increasing.

Feng Xiaogang's movie "Big Wrist" satirizes this phenomenon. In order to support his female star, the owner of a film and television company specially asked her to be his lover at Taylor's funeral, and he did not hesitate to spend five million yuan for this...

Although Huo Jianqi doesn't like to be interfered by others, but the world is like this, he has to go with the market. Otherwise, if he can't get the investment, then he will be blind for nothing.

"One is that I will be the male lead of this movie, which I told you before; the second is the selection of the female lead of the movie, I want to participate." Xiang Nan said immediately.

Huo Jianqi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

He can agree to these two conditions.

He knows Xiang Nan's acting skills. Although it is not as fierce as the media's hype, and can be compared with top artists such as Li Xuejian, Chen Daoming, and Ge You, it is definitely among the best among young actors of the same age. Moreover, the appearance and age are in line with the requirements of the male protagonist in the movie.

As for participating in the selection of the heroine, he can understand it.

It is human nature for a young man to admire lust and admire Shaoai.

What's more, in the entertainment industry, this kind of thing is really common. They are all engaged in art, they all like to liberate their nature, they are both passionate and impulsive, and it is really unusual to have a girlfriend.

Even for great directors like Director Zhang, Director Chen, and Director Feng, the women around them have changed after another. How can you demand that young actors keep themselves clean.

What's more, Xiang Nan is just at the young age, so it's normal to take this aspect seriously.

...

After discussing with Huo Jianqi, Xiang Nan immediately returned to Donggou to finish filming "My Father and Mother".

As for Huo Jianqi, he stayed in the capital and began preparations for the crew of "That Mountain That Man That Dog". Except for the heroine, other actors are chosen by the director at will.

In mid-August, "My Father and Mother" was officially completed.

After wrapping up, the crew specially held a banquet in Donggou Village. One was to celebrate the finish, the second was to thank the villagers for their assistance, and the third was to celebrate the completion.

At the wine table, everyone was very excited and said a lot of sincere words.

Zhang Ziyi drank a few more glasses, and wept even more excitedly.

It was not easy for her to shoot this movie. Apart from the physical pain, the more important thing was the mental pressure.

She was always afraid that Director Zhang Yimou would be dissatisfied, so she put in 300% of her efforts, without complaining about being tired or suffering, and endured this six months of hard work.

Now that it's finally over, of course she's going to cry a lot.

Xiang Nan was also given a lot of alcohol, and when he woke up, he found himself lying naked on the same kang with Zhang Ziyi.

"Well... I drank a drink last night, and I probably went to the wrong room." He explained to Zhang Ziyi in a panic, "But don't worry, I will take responsibility for you."

He was explaining in embarrassment, but Zhang Ziyi blocked his mouth, "Stop talking, this is your room, and I came here by myself."

She was so excited last night that she wanted to let go, so she took the initiative to find Xiang Nan.

"..." Xiang Nan blinked his eyes and figured it out instantly. But when he carefully recalled the scene of last night, he really didn't remember anything.

This is too bad!

"Are you taking advantage of me when I'm drunk? No, I have to make up for it~" Based on the principle of not being disadvantaged, Xiang Nan rushed towards her with a smile.

"Okay, stop making trouble. It's already 8:30, and the crew will leave at 9:00, and there will be no cars if it's late." Zhang Ziyi pushed him away with one hand.

"It's okay, we have our own car, so it doesn't matter if we miss it." Xiang Nan laughed.

But Zhang Ziyi still firmly refused, "Forget it, I'm so weak now, I really don't have the energy to play with you anymore."

Seeing her pretending, Xiang Nan was about to force the overlord to throw his bow, when suddenly there were three popping sounds outside the window, which startled him, and immediately lost his impulse, "Who is it?"

"Yuan Shuai, Director Li ordered the crew to assemble." Outside the window, Tang Wei replied, "Get up quickly, or you will miss the train."

"I see, you go first." Xiang Nan nodded.

Tang Wei agreed, then heard the sound of footsteps, and gradually walked away.

Xiang Nan looked down, then looked at Zhang Ziyi who had already put on his clothes, and could only sigh, "Okay, but remember, you owe me once."

...

After returning to Beijing, Xiang Nan seamlessly joined the crew of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", and immediately began to participate in casting.

But at this time, the biggest news in the mainland entertainment industry is that Director Li An is casting for the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Students from Beijing Film Studio, Chinese Opera, and major art colleges, as well as Bei Piao who was working outside the Beijing Film Studio, were all eager to try and prepare for the audition.

Zhou Le, Li Bo, and Cheng Bin in Xiangnan's dormitory are all sharpening their guns, and each of them is reading the original "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" by Wang Dulu.

Seeing Xiang Nan coming back, they immediately reminded Xiang Nan to prepare for the audition.

"I heard that the total cost of this movie is 15 million US dollars. My God, what is it going to be like?"

"Director Li An has won the Golden Horse Award, the Golden Bear Award, and was nominated for the Academy Award. It's really great to work with him!"

"I heard that Zhou Runfa has been selected as the leading actor in this film. If we can succeed in the audition, then we will be able to film with Brother Fa. It's really exciting."

They all explained to Xiang Nan.

After Xiang Nan heard this, he waved his hands. He would not participate in the audition for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
