Save the Bachelor of Heaven

The reason why Xiang Nan did not participate in the audition for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was not because he had already joined the crew of "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog".

It was because he knew in his heart that it was impossible for Hong Kong and Taiwan directors like Li An to reuse mainland actors. Even if mainland actors can join his crew, they are only carrying sedan chairs for Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.

For example, Li Bingbing, who was already a first-line star in the mainland at the time, filmed "A Hundred Years of Love", "Mice in Love with Cats", and "Flying Eagle" in Xiangjiang, all of which were supporting roles or even villains;

Chen Daoming with such a big wrist, a brother in the mainland TV drama industry, went to Xiangjiang to film "Infernal Affairs 3", and he was also only a supporting role; Zhang Ziyi, who became popular in the United States with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", went to Xiangjiang to film "The Legend of Shushan" , "2046", still playing a supporting role.

Xiang Nan also heard a rumor. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, he thought it made sense.

According to the rumors, the director of Xiangjiang cooperates with Taiwanese capital to help Hong Kong and Taiwan artists raise their positions by using mainland actors, and then harvests the mainland market.

The most typical example is "Red Cliff". Zhao Wei, Hu Jun, Hou Yong, Tong Dawei, Xiao Song Jia... There are a large number of first-line mainland actors who have good looks, acting skills and reputation, but they can only play supporting roles in the film.

In comparison, Lin Chi Ling is a model who has no acting skills at all, but she is the heroine in the film, and she has a very important part in the role.

The so-called groundless rumors are not necessarily without reason. This kind of thing is still worthy of vigilance.

That's why Xiang Nan disdains being a stepping stone for others.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has nothing to do with him no matter how much investment, no matter how sophisticated the production, no matter how powerful the lineup is, and no matter how famous the director is.

...

Xiang Nan is still busy with the actor audition for "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog".

To be honest, he really found a lot of good seedlings.

Such as Gao Yuanyuan, Ma Yili, Haiqing, Tao Hong, Li Xiaoran, Li Bingbing, Hao Lei, Huang Yi, Dong Xuan, Chen Shu and so on.

They are all very interested in starring in this movie.

For one thing, Director Huo Jianqi has directed "Winner" and "Singer" before. Although the box office is not high, the evaluation of him in the circle is very good.

Secondly, in the 1990s, the film and television drama market was sluggish, and it was already very rare for actors to have a movie to shoot, and there was no choice at all.

Three, the cast of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is not bad. The male lead Xiang Nan and the second male lead Teng Rujun are both well-known entertainers.

Especially Xiang Nan, who participated in "It's Okay to Steal Fun" just won tens of millions of box office, and then starred in "My Father and Mother" directed by Zhang Yimou, like a rising star. Naturally, someone is willing to cooperate with him.

With so many beauties participating in the audition, Xiang Nan couldn't help but be dazzled. After his further contacts, he finally chose Gao Yuanyuan.

Firstly, her image is fresh and natural, which is more in line with the characteristics of a girl in the mountains; secondly, Xiang Nan likes her more in the real world, and cooperating with her now can fulfill his dream; thirdly, Gao Yuanyuan likes music, and he is still his little girl. Fanmei is familiar with every song of his, and even the song "Look at the Girl Opposite", which has not been officially released, has been collected by her.

Since it is cooperation with anyone, why not choose someone you like and also like yourself.

...

After the audition for "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is over, the program team will officially set off to shoot in Xiangxi.

Before leaving, Xiang Nan exchanged feelings with Qiu Ya and Miao Pu respectively.

Miao Pu was very reluctant to leave Xiang Nan again.

For the filming of "My Father and Mother", he separated from her for half a year. Although there were a few meetings in the middle, but after all, there was too little time. Men and women in love can't wait to stick together every day.

Now that they have just been reunited, he is going to Xiangxi to film a movie again. She didn't know how long it would take this time, so she was naturally very reluctant.

"No way, it's like this in our line of work. The world is far and wide, gathering less and leaving more, you have to get used to it." Xiang Nan laughed.

"I wish I could go with you. It's a pity that I didn't succeed in the audition." Miao Pu said regretfully.

She also auditioned for "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", but was rejected in the first round.

Xiang Nan nodded.

It was his intention that Miao Pu was brushed off. It was so easy to go to Xiangxi to film a movie, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, why did he bring her with him again.

"So you have to study harder." He immediately comforted, "When you learn it and your acting skills are excellent, then you will naturally be able to cooperate with me."

"Yeah." Miao Pu nodded, "Then you should be careful outside."

"Don't worry, I will." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

...

As for Qiu Ya, she was very supportive of Xiang Nan's filming, "Yuan Hua, you go, you must act well, and then hit a high box office."

"Why, are you so willing to let me go?" Seeing this, Xiang Nan asked doubtfully.

Although Qiu Ya was not clingy, which made him feel relieved, but being so unloved by others also made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Of course not. But I know, you are doing it for your career, how can I hold you back." Qiu Ya waved her hand and explained.

Xiang Nan nodded.

Qiuya really puts more emphasis on career than emotion.

In the movie, she only urges Charlotte to start a career. Obviously he couldn't even write a song, but she urged him to write a song and sell it everywhere. She is happy whenever Charlotte writes a new song, but when he can't write it, she makes a long face.

"Having said that, I still hope that you can be a little more sympathetic." Xiang Nan smiled, "At least it will make me feel that there is still affection between us, not just the interests of Chiguoguo."

When Qiuya heard this, her face froze immediately, and she quickly smiled awkwardly, "Where did you go, of course I love you. I love you so much that I am crazy about it. I don't even care about so many boys chasing me at school." Their."

"I hope you're telling the truth." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Otherwise, if I know that you lied to me, you won't even try to take a cent of my tens of millions of assets."

"Ten million assets?!" Qiuya's eyes widened when she heard this.

With a net worth of tens of millions, at that time, he was definitely considered a wealthy man.

"That's right." Xiang Nan nodded. If you count the value of the antiques and oil paintings he bought, it would not be uncommon for him to exceed 100 million. "You can weigh it yourself."

Qiu Ya immediately hugged Xiang Nan's arm tenderly, "Why don't you stay for a few more days, and I'll ask for leave to accompany you well."

"No need, just remember your identity." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

...

As for Zhang Ziyi, after returning from Donggou, he lost contact with Xiang Nan.

He didn't answer the phone calls, he didn't reply to the text messages, it was as if the world had evaporated, which made Xiang Nan quite puzzled.

However, he is not the kind of man who stalks. There is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world, why bother to love a single flower.

Besides, she is not the target of the mission. He didn't have to stick to her alone.

Therefore, Xiang Nan didn't look for her again, and set off with the crew to Xiangxi in early September.
