Chapter 364 Chapter 365 [Sudden rise in popularity] (Added update for book friend Yin Yue Tianlang, thank you for your support!)


    ?In the following days, the movie "Garland Under the Mountain" continued to be a hit, and it even reached the point where it was hard to get a ticket.


    Ma Weidu specifically asked Xiang Nan for tickets, saying that his family wanted to see the movie. But I had no choice but to go to seven or eight theaters and couldn''t buy a ticket, so I wanted to ask Xiang Nan if he had any extra tickets.


    "Don''t ask me about the movie tickets." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I went to see this movie and bought the tickets myself."


    When Ma Weidu heard this, he had no choice but to give it up. But he still gave a thumbs up, "Brother Liu, I went to see that movie. I have to say, you acted really well. It made me cry."


    …


    Suizi’s roommates also went to watch the movie. After watching it, they returned to the dormitory and surrounded Suizi.


    “What?!” Suizi asked doubtfully.


    “Suizi, we are all good sisters, you can’t hide anything from us, right?” the eldest sister in the dormitory said.


    "I have nothing to hide from you." Suizi waved her hands after hearing this.


    “Then the man who came to see you last year was Liu Feng, who played Liang Sanxi in “Wreaths Under the Mountain”? Sanmei asked.


    “Yes, that’s him.” Suizi nodded.


    “Oh, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Suizi, you know such a powerful person.” Liu Mei shouted excitedly.


    "Then what''s your relationship with him? Is he your boyfriend? Do you go home every week just to see him?" Fourth sister asked.


    "Stop talking nonsense." Suizi''s face turned red when she heard this, "He was the leader of my art troupe when I was in it, and he was already married a long time ago."


    “Ah, no way!” Fifth Sister said with a disappointed look on her face.


    “Hey, Suiko, you said before that your group leader is a writer, why is he an actor now?” the eldest sister said suddenly.


    “He has always been versatile.” Suiko said proudly.


    Xiang Nan has so many abilities. The more time you spend with him, the more impressed you will be by his talent. Sui Zi still remembers the time when she learned English from Xiang Nan.


    ??He spoke extremely standard English when he opened his mouth. He spoke it more fluently than the announcer on the radio. It was simply fascinating.


    “Oh, I’ve always heard you mention him before. I thought he was an older man, but I didn’t expect him to be so young.” Third Sister said with emotion.


    When everyone heard this, they all nodded.


    I always heard Suizi mention her captain before. When they think about it, since they can rise to the rank of team leader and write so many songs and novels, they must be at least forty or fifty years old.


    ?Now after watching the movie, I realized that they are about the same age as them, only in their twenties and thirties. But the results they achieved were beyond their reach, and they were really shocked.


    “Suizi, to be honest, are you interested in him?” the eldest sister asked with a smile.


    “Oh, stop talking nonsense, I got married two years ago.” Suiko waved her hands quickly.


    “Haha, it seems interesting.” Everyone laughed when they heard what she said.


    Sui Zi also realized that she had made a mistake and blushed unconsciously.


    At first, she was moved by what Xiang Nan did for her, so she liked him.


    ?For example, he recruited her into the creative team, gave her the credit for the songs, and even jumped into the water to save her when fighting floods, etc.


    After that, as they spent more and more time together, she was unconsciously attracted to Xiang Nan.


    His talent, his charm, his confidence, his single-mindedness, his bravery, his strength...the longer she stayed with him, the more she became attracted to him. From then on, I couldn''t help but fall in love with him deeply.


    ??It''s just that Xiang Nan is already married to Xiaoping, so she has no choice but to bury this feeling in her heart without telling anyone.


    …


    With the popularity of "Garland Under the Mountain", Xiang Nan, who plays the protagonist, is very popular among the audience because his role as Liang Sanxi is really lovable. surge in popularity


    Popular Film magazine even came to interview him and took his photo for the cover. And with this report, people knew that the man who dared to play the protagonist was the author of the original novel, and he was also a well-known writer and combat hero...


    For a time, Xiang Nan''s popularity soared rapidly. If in the 1980s, there were top figures in the mainland entertainment industry, then Xiang Nan was undoubtedly the top figure.


    After Xiang Nan became famous, his first feeling was that he could no longer go out shopping.


    ?As soon as he leaves the house, he can be recognized by people within a hundred meters, and then they will excitedly come forward to surround him. Those asking for autographs, photos, handshakes, hugs, just to name a few.


    So for the sake of trouble, he rarely goes out.


    Fortunately, he is a writer by profession, so he can just sit at home and write. I felt really bored, so I put on a mask and sunglasses and went out.


    The second feeling is that celebrities really make a lot of money.


    ?At that time, most artists still earned dead wages. But for popular artists, they can also perform extravagantly and earn more money. Acupuncture is also called "private acting and private sharing", that is, actors within the system secretly accept external performances to make money.


    Generally speaking, the greater the fame, the higher the status, and the more popular a star is, the higher the price of acupuncture.


    ?For example, Xiang Nan became famous because of "Wreaths Under the Mountain", and if he can sing and dance, he can make a lot of money. The price quoted by the acupuncture point, the price of a song, has reached one thousand yuan.


    In other words, Xiang Nan can get a thousand yuan for singing only one song during a performance. That’s more than most people make in a year’s salary.


    ?However, although the prices were quite high, Xiang Nan refused them all.


    On the one hand, cave walking is an illegal performance after all, and it also involves tax evasion and so on. No matter how good the country is, as long as it takes care of it, it will get it right. At that time, paying taxes will still be a trivial matter. If you are caught, it will really outweigh the gains.


    ??Even if the regiment finds out, it''s not good. If he is fired by the General Secretary again, no amount of money will be able to compensate for it. You must know that although you make less money within the system, you have benefits that are not available outside the system.


    On the other hand, Xiang Nan has his own way of making money, so he really can’t afford to go into the muddy waters of acupuncture. You must know that since acupuncture is an illegal performance, it is not guaranteed.


    The organizer is not formal, the performance venue is not formal, and the partners are not formal, either party may have problems. Those who defraud money, those who cheat money, those who are detained, those who harass...the list goes on.


    In the past two years, Xiang Nan has heard a lot of such things. For example, the General Political Department has singers who go to perform acupuncture. After the performance, they get no money and are pestered by local gangsters. If he hadn''t seen the opportunity quickly, he almost wouldn''t have been able to come back.


    For this reason, Xiang Nan is not prepared to participate in acupuncture, but he still enjoys this vanity.


    It can be regarded as a success if it is welcomed by so many people and allows people to pay such a high price.
