Chapter 578 579 [Art pressure is a professional]
Xiang Nan smiled and took out the stuff he had brought.
They are a snuff bottle, a brush washer, a folding fan, a bronze mirror, a jade carving and a Buddha statue.
He deliberately selected the items, covering the four categories of antique collections: ceramics, calligraphy and painting, jade, and miscellaneous items.
?Wang Gang started to look at the gadgets Xiang Nan took out, but didn''t pay much attention to them.
In his opinion, Xiang Nan is young and has little knowledge. The things he buys are likely to be fakes, or even fake at first glance, not even high imitations.
?But the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the thing Xiang Nan brought didn''t seem so bad.
"Please allow me to get started~" Wang Gang put on his gloves, carefully placed the snuff bottle, pen washer, folding fan, bronze mirror, etc. in front of his eyes and looked at them carefully. He even took out a small flashlight and took a photo...
"Brother Wang, how are you?" Feng Gong couldn''t help but asked curiously when he saw his posture.
"Oh, it''s amazing. These are all treasures." Wang Gang gently put down the Buddha statue, took a sip of tea, and then pointed out one by one, "Ma Shaoxuan''s snuff bottle, Ming Wanli blue and white brush washer, Chen Banding Flower fans, sea beast grape mirrors from the Tang Dynasty, jade bears carved from the Han Dynasty, gilt bronze Buddha statues from the Liao Dynasty...
Brother, this little friend is not as careless as you said, he is a master. "
Feng Gong was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, "Really?! You didn''t lie to us?"
“You have to ask this little friend what his ancestors did.” Wang Gang said with a smile, “Maybe he comes from a family of collectors, and maybe he has a good family background.”
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Teacher Wang is right. I''m sorry, Teacher Feng. In fact, I have been collecting with my neighbor''s grandfather since I was a child. He was the emperor of a **** shop and was quite proficient in this business, so I learned a little from him. Children''s craftsmanship."
“So that’s it, you told me earlier, and I worried about you in vain.” Feng Gong complained with a smile. In any case, it’s a good thing that Xiang Nan didn’t suffer.
“Look, let me tell you, my little friend is a master.” Wang Gang smiled and said, “Xiaoyou Yuan, your eyesight is really good. Let’s communicate more.”
?Although Xiang Nan is young, his eyesight is very accurate, and he can choose these things well. That''s the thing. In the literary and entertainment industry, the most important thing is eyesight.
?Whoever has good eyesight and great ability is the master! It is sinful to destroy an expert, so you have to get close to him. A few words of advice from others will be of great use to you.
“Okay, Teacher Wang, I’m happy to accompany you.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
There are many people in the entertainment industry who like to collect. In addition to Wang Gang, there are also Beijing tycoon Ma Weidu, Huangama clothing industry owner Zhang Tielin, tough guy actor Zhang Hanyu, first-line screenwriter Zou Jingzhi, top writer Hai Yi, and so on.
First of all, you can play with antiques in prosperous times, and hide gold in troubled times. Celebrities get their money very quickly, and the salary for a movie can be millions or tens of millions. Collecting antiques is a good way to manage money for them.
Secondly, most celebrities have little education. It is said that he has graduated from college, but in terms of knowledge accumulation, he is probably not as good as a high school student. Therefore, in order to be arty and cover up my ignorance, I will also play and collect.
In this way, a circle is formed that is not a circle. Now that Xiang Nan is developing in the entertainment industry, he still needs the support of connections, so it is a good opportunity for him to make friends and build connections through toys and antiques.
…
At that moment, Xiang Nan started talking to Wang Gang about collecting.
??He has Ji Xiaolan''s accumulation of knowledge, including the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, various allusions and anecdotes at his fingertips, which impressed both Wang Gang and Feng Gong.
Although Xiang Nan is young, at a young age, he has a rich family background and a profound background, which makes people have to give him a thumbs up.
??The three of them chatted from noon to evening, refilling the teapot several times. Finally, after dinner, they talked until about ten o''clock in the evening before they dispersed.
"Oh, I really learned a lot today." Wang Gang praised, "If I hadn''t been busy tomorrow, I would have really wanted to chat with you tonight." He learned a lot from Xiang Nan today. He has learned a lot of skills in porcelain appreciation, which will help him avoid being deceived a lot in the future.
To be honest, this kind of knowledge is not easy to learn. As the saying goes, I would rather pay ten ounces of money than pass on my skills. Appreciating antiques is a big craft.
?In ancient times, if you didn’t become a disciple and work hard for the master for more than ten years, serving tea and water during the day, and staying vigil at night to urinate, it was impossible to be taught.
“It’s okay, Uncle Wang, we will meet again when you have time, I promise to be there when you call.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“Okay, it’s settled.” Wang Gang smiled and nodded.
…
Getting to know Wang Gang is a great thing for Xiang Nan.
?Through Wang Gang, Xiang Nan later met a large number of friends from all walks of life in the literary and art circles, business circles, and literary circles, such as Ma Weidu, Zou Jingzhi, Li Chengru, Hao Jinming, etc., and his network of contacts was greatly enriched.
Through such a rich network of contacts, Xiang Nan has also gained many opportunities.
?Of course, that’s all for later.
…
In January 1999, Xiang Nan''s second album, "Free Like the Wind", was finally recorded.
In order to promote it, Maimiao Records still suggested shooting a MV for promotion.
Xiang Nan also agreed with this and wrote another MV script, which still tells the story of a prodigal son wandering far away, a girl he cannot forget, and a hometown he cannot return to.
Such stories are particularly attractive to young people. After all, everyone has been in the second grade of middle school, and everyone has longed for the distance... This is a common empathy among people.
The MV director still hired Huo Jianqi, and the heroine was still selected by Xiang Nan.
?After some screening, he finally chose Zeng Lai, a junior at the Chinese Theater Academy.
Zeng Wei is a great beauty who is praised by everyone. She is known as the Seven Golden Flowers of Chinese Opera. She is as famous as Zhang Ziyi, Hu Jing, Yuan Ting, Mei Ting, Qin Hailu, etc.
And her performance is also very good. She has appeared in dramas such as "Men and Women", "Silent Witness", "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", "Blue Files", "Suffering", "The Three Kingdoms Era of Sister-in-law", etc. Have excellent performance.
?However, it is regrettable that such an actor who is recognized as having good looks and acting skills is not popular, which is really surprising.
Xiang Nan chose Zeng Lai to play the heroine because of her good looks.
“Hello, Miss Zeng, I have heard about the famous Seven Golden Flowers in the Chinese Opera for a long time.” He said with a smile.
“You’re welcome, I’m glad to be able to work with you,” Zeng said with some respect, “To be honest, I’m your fan, and I really like your song “I’ll Have You in My Life.”
There are many celebrities among her classmates. For example, Mei Ting has already filmed "Blood Child" and "Red Lover", and she has also collaborated with superstar Leslie Cheung; Hu Jing has also taken over the filming of "Love in the Internet Age"; Yuan Ting has also taken over the filming of "Spring Rhapsody" …
She is the only one. Although she is as famous as them, she has not achieved much in her acting career until now. So she cherished this opportunity.
"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded, "I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
