Chapter 1463 1465【Ruilong Museum】


    "Legend of Liulichang" is the work of screenwriter Zou Jingzhi.


    He is three years older than Xiang Nan. He also worked as an educated youth back then. After returning to the city, he worked as a mason and welded iron kettles. He was versatile.


    In 1982, he began to try writing and applied for the Central Radio and Television University to receive adult education. In 1987, as he continued to write, he was transferred to the "Poetry Magazine" magazine as an editor.


    In the 1990s, he began to try screenwriting. This "Legend of Liulichang" was written by him based on the stories he had heard and a little bit of artistic creation.


    It tells the legendary story of three male protagonists, the honest farmer Yuan Yushan, the down-and-out Belle Jin Baoyuan, and the soft-boiled Cui Heyou, fighting against each other in Liulichang.


    ?After the script was written, he entrusted it to Xiang Nan and asked Xiang Nan to see if it was suitable.


    After Xiang Nan saw it, he bought it directly for 50,000 yuan.


    ??He watched this TV series when he was very young and thought it was quite good. The plot has ups and downs and is full of human emotions. It is a rare masterpiece.


    Zou Jingzhi got her first pot of gold and had full confidence in screenwriting. After that, she created many good dramas.


    Of course, this is all for later.


    …


    The casting process for "Legend of Liulichang" began immediately.


    ?Zhang Guoli did his part and decided on the role of Jin Baoyuan.


    ??This down-and-out Baylor, he plays the role with ease and is the most suitable.


    As for the role of Yuan Yushan, Ouyang Fenqiang originally recommended Li Baotian to play the role. He felt that he was the most suitable person to play this honest farmer.


    ?However, Zhang Guoli believed that Li Baotian was too old and was no longer suitable to play the role of a young farmer. Even if there is no problem with his acting skills and he can portray the immaturity and youthfulness of young people, his image will be greatly compromised, which will affect the quality of the series.


    So after the two discussed it, they finally decided on Feng Yuanzheng.


    Zhang Guoli and Feng Yuanzheng had previously co-starred in "Hang in Yanjing" and knew that his acting skills were very good. I guarantee that I can play the role of Yuan Yushan, an upright young man.


    ?As for the role of Cui Heyou, who is a soft-boiler, both of them chose Xing Minshan by chance.


    ?On the one hand, Xing Minshan is a Kunqu Opera actor, and he is suitable for singing, reading, acting and fighting. Cui Heyou, the character in the play, has also sung an opera. He was expelled from the theater troupe because he was flirting with a rich wife, so the character design is just right.


    ?On the one hand, Xing Minshan is also well-known. In 1993, Qilu TV Station produced "The White Eyebrow Hero", and his role as Bai Yunrui fascinated many viewers.


    After the male actor was selected, the heroine Jiu''er was selected.


    Zhang Guoli recommended Wu Yue, who had previously collaborated in "The Story of Yanjing Late Autumn". Not only does her image fit the role, but her acting skills are also very good. She just won the Feitian Award for Best Supporting Actress this year.


    After the cast list was finalized, it was submitted to Xiang Nan for approval. After Xiang Nan read it, he immediately agreed to shoot. So "Legend of Liulichang" was officially prepared for filming.


    …


    When "Legend of Liulichang" and "Huanzhugege" started filming one after another, Feng Xiaogang also got a new script and wanted to make it into a movie.


    Xiang Nan took it and saw that it was "See You or See You", and nodded with a smile.


    ??This play tells the story of two Yanjing people who lived in the United States, and their love and hate entangled them after several years of travel.


    "This play was inspired by "Yanjing Man in New York" and also borrowed from the American blockbuster movie "When Harry Met Sally," right?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.


    Feng Xiaogang clapped his hands sincerely, "Master Cheng, you are amazing!"


    ??The story of "See You or Be Parted" was indeed inspired by the 2016 American blockbuster movie "When Harry Met Sally." Coupled with his experience when he went to the United States to film "Yanjing People in New York", this script was finally combined.


    He thinks it should be good.


    “It’s you who are great.” Xiang Nan praised with a smile.


    ?There is a large copy of Tianxia''s articles. Read them all and know whether you can copy them. Feng Xiaogang can use the Hollywood structure to tell a Chinese love story and tell it so well, which is already quite impressive. So much so that the director bought the copyright and copied it entirely, but he still doesn’t understand it.


    “So, you agreed to the filming?” Feng Xiaogang said with a smile.


    “Why don’t you agree to something that can make me money?” Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    Feng Xiaogang nodded.


    …


    ?In 1997, all other directors of Kirin Pictures were filming, but Zhang Yimou did not direct any new films.


    Xiang Nan did not rush him. He knew that "Speak Well" directed by Zhang Yimou last year did not win an international award. When it was released in the mainland, the box office was not good, which affected his mood and creation.


    So he needs a period of hibernation to think about the future.


    This is a process of becoming a butterfly, and Xiang Nan naturally does not want to interrupt it deliberately.


    So he gave Zhang Yimou time to think and speculate.


    …


    In 1997, Xiang Nan’s museum finally opened after more than a year of preparations.


    The museum is named Ruilong Museum and is located on Zhushikou West Street, Chongwen District, next to Liulichang.


    ??Ruilong Museum has a collection of more than 37,000 pieces, of which more than 2,000 are national first-class cultural relics, all of which are first-class treasures.


    Many of them are even coveted by the National Museum and the Palace Museum.


    ?For example, during the Five Dynasties, Monk Ju Ran’s landscape scroll; the Sea Beast Grape Mirror from the Tang Dynasty; the original calligraphy of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty…


    The media also reported on it one after another, and the publicity was aroused for a while.


    “Cheng Jianjun is really amazing. He actually has a private museum. It is said that the collection is richer than the Forbidden City.”


    “I heard from reports that people started collecting in the 1970s. At that time, cultural relics in cultural relics stores were very cheap, costing only dozens of yuan.”


    “Oh, I’m so sorry! When you had money, why didn’t you buy a few cultural relics to keep? You could buy porcelain from Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties for just a few dozen yuan, but now you can sell it for tens of thousands.”


    After reading the report, the people were full of envy.


    At the end of the 1990s, antique collection gradually became popular, and the auction prices of cultural relics hit new highs year by year. Many people know that antiques can be sold for money, so they all become fascinated.


    And seeing that Xiang Nan opened a museum by himself, so many good treasures naturally came to learn from it.


    Therefore, as soon as the museum opened, lovers of literature and antiques immediately flocked to the museum and crowded it to the brim.


    They looked at the treasures in the glass cabinets with almost the same expression, admiring and salivating, wishing they could stretch out their hands from their eyes, take the things away and run away.


    …


    "Jianjun, you have really bought a lot of good things over the years." Han Chunming said with envy, "Hey, there are many more in here, all of which I gave to you."


    "Yes, many of my collections belong to you." Xiang Nan sighed, "If you want to take them back now, I can part with them."


    “Forget it, since I gave it to you, how can I get it back?” Chunming hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand.


    When he originally sold these treasures to Xiang Nan, he only paid for them for more than 20 million yuan. Now these antiques are probably worth more than 200 million. To be honest, he regretted it a little.


    But a gentleman''s words are like a whip of a horse. What''s more, the more than 20 million at that time was used to save lives, and the significance was much greater than 200 million. So he won''t regret it.


    Dear book friends, during the Spring Festival, Lao Bai also has two days of rest, so he can only update twice a day. I hope you can understand!


    gratitude!
