Chapter 597 598 [Dad, please retire] (Updated for book friend Zhu Haochen 2018)
?The Last Stop of Youth is set in Xihong City, so Xiang Nan’s performance naturally had to be much harder.
The response on site was almost the best among the ten stations. People in Xihong City will always have more preference for children who go out from their hometown.
Applause, cheers, and shouts came and went one after another, and the waves of sound became louder and louder, which moved Xiang Nandu.
So he also stopped acting. Each concert was originally only two and a half hours long, but the concerts in Xihong City were extended by thirty minutes.
??This violated the previous application and caused the performance company to be fined. However, both the performance company and Xiang Nan felt it was worth it!
After the last concert, Xiang Nan is leaving Xihong City.
Before leaving, he had another conversation with Yuan Hua''s father Yuan Jianguo, "Dad, if you can quit, quit early. Maybe you can escape a disaster. Anyway, I make enough money now. You I can’t afford to sit on that crater again.”
?Yuan Jianguo was slightly startled.
To be honest, he really didn’t want to retreat.
?As the saying goes, a big man should not be without power for a day, and a small husband should not be without money for a day.
?Power is really addictive.
??He is now the district chief at the deputy department level and is almost the most influential person in the district. But after he retreated, if he spoke again, his wife would not listen.
How could he accept such a huge gap?
"Child, why do you want me to step down? Go to the streets every day to play chess and carry a vegetable basket to buy groceries with your mother?" Yuan Jianguo said.
"Running around the streets playing chess and accompanying my mother to buy groceries is a bit boring, but it''s better than being arrested." Xiang Nan sighed, "Dad, I''m in Yanjing and have access to more information than you. . I know that the country is paying more and more attention to corruption and its methods are becoming more and more strict.
If you retreat now, you may still escape disaster. But if you continue to fall in love, you are afraid that when the time comes, you won’t be able to back out even if you want to. Think clearly for yourself whether power or life is more important. "
After hearing this, Yuan Jianguo fell into deep thought.
…
?During his stay in Xihong City, he met with Zhang Yang, Meng Te, Dachun and other classmates and had a meal.
While eating, Zhang Yang hinted many times that he wanted Xiang Nan to take him to Yanjing for development. He carried bags, delivered water, drove and booked tickets, and didn''t care if he was just a reminder.
?But Xiang Nan ignored him.
?Zhang Yang seems to be honest and kind, but in fact, he is not a toy at all. After learning that Charlotte was suffering from AIDS, he immediately made every effort to get rid of Charlotte''s mother. In this way, once Charlotte dies, most of the inheritance will belong to him.
It can be said that he has a dark heart and a thick skin and is shameless. If you keep such a person by your side, you may not bring disaster upon yourself.
As for Mente, his eyes were flying wildly, and his eyes were wildly on his face, looking at his posture as if he wanted to pounce on him.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan is really not good at this, otherwise he might not be able to control himself.
As for Spring, I haven’t seen it for two years, and it is still as simple as when I was in school. When he came to the banquet, he actually carried two kilograms of hazelnut mushrooms for Xiang Nan. He said that he carefully selected them and guaranteed that they are all the best.
Xiang Nan took the mushroom and said thank you sincerely.
In "Charlotte''s Sorrow", Dachun and Dongmei are the only good people. They are optimistic, contented, loving, hard-working, and run their own small family carefully. They are the ones who truly achieve joy and happiness.
At the dinner table, Xiang Nan asked them about Xia Luo and Ma Dongmei.
Zhang Yang and Mengte knew nothing about this. They don''t care at all. On the contrary, Dachun still remembered Xia Luo and knew that he still had two years left in prison before he could be released.
As for Ma Dongmei, after the accident that year, out of fear of retaliation from Chen Kai’s family, the two of them moved quickly.
As to where she moved to, no one knew, and she didn’t tell anyone.
Hearing the news, Xiang Nan sighed.
…
At the end of May, Xiang Nan returned to Yanjing and participated in the release of Wang Fei''s new album.
?The new album is called "Fleeting Time", and it contains many songs such as "Fleeing Time", "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting", "Break Up with Kindness", "It''s Always Quiet", and three-quarters of the songs were contributed by Xiang Nan.
After it was launched, it became very popular.
?Mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia...all places are selling like crazy. In Taiwan alone, 800,000 copies were sold, which is quite impressive.
You should know that after entering the new century, with the gradual popularization of the Internet and the rampant piracy, the record sales of most singers have declined, or even been cut in half.
?For example, in the 1990s, the best-selling album in Taiwan was Jacky Cheung''s "Kiss Goodbye". According to official statistics, it sold 1.36 million copies. In comparison, the best-selling album in the past two thousand years is Tao Zhe’s “I’mOK”, with total sales of only 430,000 copies.
?Hence, Wang Fei’s new album can sell 800,000 copies, which is really a remarkable achievement. The dealer in Taiwan even sent a big red envelope to congratulate her.
And with the huge sales of this album, Xiang Nan is no longer an unknown person in Hong Kong and Taiwan. He is no longer an unknown person who became famous through scandals. He finally has his own name - Yuan Hua, and is no longer an unknown person. "The scandalous boyfriend of Queen Faye Wang".
For a time, more and more people came to him for singing appointments in Hong Kong and Taiwan, including many top-notch singers, such as Alan Tam, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Li Ming, etc.
?However, Xiang Nan basically refused.
?First of all, he doesn’t need to sell songs at all now. He has already made a lot of money, and he can’t afford to make money by selling songs.
Secondly, he is not too interested in the declining Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles.
Xiang Nan knows that in the next few years, the mainland entertainment industry will develop faster and faster and become more and more popular. In contrast, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan is declining at an accelerated pace.
?Ten years later, even former first-line movie stars such as Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau and Tony Leung have lost their box office appeal in the mainland.
?Hence, unlike other mainland celebrities, Xiang Nan does not want to make a career in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles. With that energy, he is more willing to delve into the mainland entertainment industry and raise his nationality to the highest level.
At that time, he can take advantage of the rise of internal entertainment and skyrocket.
Hence, Xiang Nan basically rejected everyone’s invitation to sing.
? It was only because of Wang Fei''s face that he wrote several songs for Leslie Cheung, such as "Under Mount Fuji", "The King of Karaoke", "Exaggerated", "Good Will Repays", and "Seven Friends".
“I’m doing this all because of your face~” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"I know, thank you, you are the best to me~" Wang Fei smiled, "You give me face, and I will give you face. Director Zhang Wanting wants to make a movie about the Yanjing rock circle, I recommend you to go Try it.”
"Zhang Wanting?!" Xiang Nan was slightly startled, "Is that the Xiangjiang female director who made "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Song Dynasty", "City of Glass", and "Eight Liang Gold"?! She is so troublesome Why are you filming the Yanjing rock scene?”
"She thinks it''s interesting." Wang Fei said with a smile, "She thinks mainland rock music has both Western rhythms and Chinese flavor, which is very special. She wanted to shoot a contrasting Yanjing that has never been photographed before, while also Fulfill your middle school fantasy.”
“It doesn’t sound interesting.” Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, “Besides, I’m not from the rock circle. I’m from a mainstream background and debuted at the Spring Festival Gala, which is completely different from those underground bands.”
