Chapter 14201423【Different Ways】
??These people listed by Feng Xiaogang are all well-known big shots.
?It goes without saying that Wang Hui was the most popular writer in the Mainland in the 1980s and 1990s; Su Tong, Hai Wei, and Liu Zhenyun, to a lesser extent, were also outstanding figures in the literary world.
Su Tong''s "Wives and Concubines" was adapted into "Raise the Red Lantern" by Zhang Yimou; Hai Wei''s "Never Rest in Peace", "A Romantic Affair", "What Can I Do to Save You, My Love", etc. , are all famous for a while; Liu Zhenyun''s "Chicken Feathers in a Place", "My Name is Liu Yuejin", "I''m Not Pan Jinlian", etc., have also been adapted into film and television dramas.
?Zheng Xiaolong is a big figure that cannot be ignored in the mainland TV industry and has created many firsts. For example, the first full-length TV series "Four Generations Under One Roof", the first full-length indoor drama "Desire", the first TV series "The Story of the Editorial Department", the first TV series "Yenjing People Are Here" shot entirely abroad New York"…
? In addition, his representative works include "Golden Wedding", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Red Sorghum", "Young Man Bao Qingtian", etc. It can be said that he is a pivotal figure in the mainland entertainment industry.
?However, Xiang Nan knew that Feng Xiaogang was now pulling the banner to make a tiger skin. He may know these people and have dealt with them, but there is absolutely no way they are ferromagnetic.
Because he is now a member of the crew, and those people all have a much higher status than him. Moreover, most of those people are from the big courtyard, and their eyes have always been long on the top of their heads. How can they call him brothers? They are just like Xiang Nan, taking him for fun.
…
“They all grew up together when I was young.” Feng Xiaogang said with a shy face. He is actually half a big boy.
?His father was also a soldier back then and lived in the compound of Xijiao Party School earlier. Later, after his parents divorced, he and his mother moved to an alley in Xicheng District.
So to be honest, he was actually a kid who grew up in an alley, but he was born with a longing for the compound.
After all, at that time, the living conditions, political status, mental outlook, and future prospects of the boys from the big courtyard were better than those of the children in the alley.
?For example, being a soldier was the most fashionable thing in the 1960s and 1970s. If the big boy from the courtyard wants to become a soldier, it is basically just a matter of words. But it is very difficult for the Hutong kids to become soldiers.
? Cheng Jianjun and Han Chunming both wanted to be soldiers after graduating from high school, but the places were all taken up long ago, so they had to go to the countryside.
?Xiang Nan did not expose Feng Xiaogang''s lies, but he was not very interested in making friends with Wang Yi, Hai Yi, Ma Weidu, Zheng Xiaolong and others.
Because most of those people are from the big courtyard. The same background, the same knowledge, and the same thoughts have long tied them together and become an interest group.
???If Xiang Nan was a young writer like Su Tong or Liu Zhenyun, with no background and no backing, and his career had just started, he would have a big tree to shelter from when he took refuge in the past.
But the key point is that Xiang Nan himself is a big tree, and his influence is no less than that of Wang Xie, Haiwei, Ma Weidu, and Zheng Xiaolong. So if he wants to go there, he must not be the younger brother, but can only be the boss. The key is that others are not happy.
Hence, at best they can be allies, or even rivals, but they can never be friends.
"Forget it, we are not from the same group. We have different paths and we will not agree with each other. I will disappear with them. We will talk about it when there is an opportunity to cooperate in the future." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
Hearing what he said, Feng Xiaogang could only nod.
…
After the crew of "Triumph at Midnight" returned to Beijing, Xiang Nan was not in a hurry to contact Zhu Lin. He was waiting for an opportunity, the most worthy opportunity to take action.
?While waiting for the opportunity, "A Dream of Red Mansions" was officially completed in February and is expected to be officially broadcast during the summer vacation. This is also a good thing for Xiang Nan. After all, this TV series was originally written and written by him.
At the end of January, Xiang Nan completed the translation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" and handed it over to Random House for publication. After reviewing it, Random House found no problems and believed that the book was very imaginative, the writing was interesting, and it had certain market prospects, so it printed 10,000 copies and tried to distribute it.
Xiang Nan also received nearly 100,000 US dollars in royalties, mainly from the English version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone". As for royalties, they were only a measly $10,000.
After the news spread, many people were overjoyed.
Since ancient times, there has been no one who was first in literature, and no one who was second in martial arts. Xiang Nan has been popular for almost ten years from 1976 to now. He has always been aloof and superior, and no one can look at him without being jealous.
?Now that he has finally missed his mark, naturally some people are happy and some are secretly happy.
"How much money can you make by printing ten thousand copies? If I had known earlier, I might as well have taken the one million copies."
“I thought he could be proud of the United States, but in the end he only printed 10,000 copies, which is the level of a new author.”
“I’ve told him before that he can’t do it. He’s never even been out of the country, so he knows what foreigners like? He’s just doing it behind closed doors.”
?Some people have said sourly, and they are all sour people who can’t even eat the grapes.
Xiang Nan didn''t care about this. Gold will always shine. He believes that as long as it is a good book, it cannot be ignored.
Just like the novel website a few decades later, there are millions of copies of novels. But who is good-looking and who is not good-looking cannot be hidden from anyone at all.
To put it bluntly, even if the novel is not popular, it will not be a big loss for him. One million dollars may be an astronomical figure to others.
For Xiang Nan, it is just a floating cloud. He has made tens of billions, is he still short of this little money?
…
In February, "Triumph at Midnight" was officially broadcast on CCTV.
As soon as it was broadcast, it caused a sensation and received extremely high ratings.
The romantic love story, magnificent battle scenes, and noble revolutionary friendship... made this drama deeply touching and captivating countless viewers. It also made actors such as Zhu Lin and Shi Zhaoqi so famous.
As the author and screenwriter of the original novel, Xiang Nan has naturally benefited a lot. Not only did the original novel "Triumph at Midnight" become a bestseller again, but his influence in the film and television industry also skyrocketed.
Therefore, when they heard that another of his scripts, "Desire", was being prepared for filming, many actors rushed to sign up, hoping to play a role.
After all, Shi Zhaoqi and Zhu Lin are the role models. They both became so popular all over the country because of their roles in "Triumph at Midnight". Who can not envy them. Just like in the 1990s, when the Haiyi drama was a hit, so many people were vying to be in his drama.
Xiang Nan saw that the time he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
Hence, as a screenwriter, he immediately recommended Zhu Lin to the crew as the starring role.
?The reason he gave was that when he originally wrote the heroine, she was based on Zhu Lin''s appearance, so this role must be played by her.
After consideration, the leaders of the Art Center thought that Zhu Lin would be more suitable to play the role, so they agreed to Xiang Nan''s request.
