Chapter 1761 1763【Jiahe】
“Ning Wei, you are so awesome.” Cong Shan saw Xiang Nan take action for the first time.
In the blink of an eye, four people were knocked down together, and she didn''t even react. Such a strong man really made her feel so safe.
"It''s okay." Xiang Nan said with a smile. Because he was on Wangfujing Street and there were many people coming and going, he didn''t dare to kill him. If it were a deserted land, he could kill four people.
It''s extremely abominable, and the woman who plays with him is really looking for death!
“I didn’t expect the capital to be so chaotic. There are people playing hooligans in Wangfujing.” Cong Shan said with some lingering fears.
“You should be more careful when you go out in the future.” Xiang Nan reminded.
?Cong Shan nodded.
Some people had photographed her before, but after she sternly refused, they stopped bothering her.
?It’s not like these hooligans today who actually molest women in broad daylight. It’s really abominable. If Xiang Nan hadn''t been here, she might have been in danger today, which made her scared just thinking about it.
“Okay, don’t think too much, I’ll treat you to hot-boiled mutton.” Upon seeing this, Xiang Nan consoled him with a smile.
Cong Shan nodded after hearing this.
…
After the Lantern Festival, Xiang Nan went to Yenching University to register with his admission notice.
Also reporting with him was Zheng Tong from the same hospital.
He was also admitted to Yenching University, but majored in history.
“Okay, Xiao Ningwei, I didn’t expect that we would become classmates.” Zheng Tong said with a smile.
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, "Brother Zheng, you are so awesome. You can still get such high scores after leaving school for so long, I really admire you."
Hearing what he said, Zheng Tong was very proud.
??The number of educated youths who went to northern Shaanxi with him to join the team was no less than one million. But after they went to the countryside, they basically stopped studying. For so many years, I haven’t picked up a book.
Unlike him, he never forgot to study, and even read "Twenty-Four Histories" in his arms in the fields. In ten years, he grew from a history novice to a senior historian.
?With the accumulated knowledge, he successfully competed for a job in 1976 and became a middle school teacher. Hearing that after the country resumed the college entrance examination, he and Jiang Biyun studied together and were eventually admitted with high scores.
In comparison, most of those who jumped in line with him are still in northern Shaanxi, and they don’t know when they will come back.
So he was very proud of his efforts.
…
After school started, Xiang Nan’s performance satisfied both teachers and classmates.
Xiang Nan is reported to be an English major at the School of Foreign Languages, Yanjing University.
He is proficient in English and has lived in the United States for more than fifty years, so he speaks authentic and fluent American English even more fluently than the professor.
Because of this, this major is really not difficult for him. He came to college purely to get a diploma.
But just two weeks after school started, Xiang Nan was about to ask for leave.
The reason is that "Drunken Master" starring him was a hit again, with a total box office of HK$6.7 million. It is higher than last year''s box office champion, "Fa Qian Han" starring Xu Guanying, Wu Yaohan and Zhao Yazhi.
??Moreover, it is also the highest-grossing action martial arts film in Hong Kong so far. Even Bruce Lee, Ti Lung, David Chiang, and Wang Jie did not have such good results. Such an outstanding record has also made Xiang Nan the leading action star in the Hong Kong film industry. All the film companies saw his potential, so they came to the mainland one after another, hoping to invite him to make movies.
Among them is He Guanchang, the second boss of Jiahe.
?After Bruce Lee passed away, although Golden Harvest was joined by the Hui brothers, it took the lead in the field of comedy films. But in the field of action movies, there is still a lack of a box office superstar.
The emergence of Xiang Nan was nothing less than joy falling from the sky for Jiahe.
Xiang Nan can fight, act, and edit. Like Bruce Lee, he is an all-rounder. And the box office appeal is very strong, both movies have achieved good box office.
?Especially "Drunken Master" broke the box office record for action movies, which shows that Xiang Nan has considerable qualifications.
So if Golden Harvest signs him, it can make up for its shortcomings and have the upper hand in the two major blockbuster fields of comedy and action movies, so it won''t be afraid of being suppressed by Shaw Brothers.
…
“Mr. Ning, as long as you sign a contract with us, this check will be yours.” He Guanchang smiled and handed over a check.
Xiang Nan took a look at the total of five million Hong Kong dollars and couldn''t help but admire Jiahe''s generosity.
You must know that he only received a salary of 40,000 Hong Kong dollars for making two movies: "Snake" and "Drunken Master". Including bonuses, it''s only 90,000.
Jiahe’s initial offer was 5 million, which was enough to hire him to make 250 movies. Five films were made in a year, and they could not be completed until his death.
But having said that, he is now a famous star, so his salary must have increased. A few days ago, a company called First Film Agency invited him to film a movie, and the salary was already 400,000 yuan.
So although five million Hong Kong dollars seems like a lot, it is only the salary for ten movies. And he believed that Jiahe would never let him make only ten movies.
"Mr. He, please tell me what the contract is, and then let''s talk about money." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
As soon as He Guanchang heard this, he knew that Xiang Nan was not of Yi Yu''s generation.
Ordinary people may not be able to earn even 500,000 in a lifetime, let alone five million. Therefore, when they see this money, it is difficult for them to remain calm, and they will be determined not to withdraw it.
?Just like when they invited kung fu superstar Wang Jie to film a movie, they only paid 500,000 Hong Kong dollars and asked Wang Jie to betray Shaw Brothers and resolutely join Golden Harvest.
? Xiang Nan''s net worth is not as good as that of Wang Jie, but when he saw five million Hong Kong dollars, he could still be so clear-headed and calm. It was really surprising, and he couldn''t help but take another high look.
?He Guanchang then stated his conditions.
Xiang Nan signed a long-term contract with Jiahe for ten years. During this period, any movie Xiang Nan made was arranged through Jiahe, and Jiahe paid 80% of the market price for each movie.
Xiang Nan nodded.
Jiahe deserves to be a big company, and he deserves to be a red star. Therefore, the contract offered by Jiahe is much better than that of Zhu Mu''s Dadi Pictures.
?However, no matter how good it is, it has its limits. After all, a ten-year contract is really a long time. You know, the golden period of an artist is only about ten years. Like Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, etc., there are only a handful of people who became popular from the age of 20 to the age of 60.
Therefore, if we sign such a long-term contract with Jiahe, I am afraid that we will be eaten up and wiped clean. Once it has expired and has no use value, it will be thrown out like garbage.
??But having said that, if he doesn''t sign this contract, Jiahe will not pile resources on him, and it will be difficult for him to maintain his superstar status.
After all, if an artist wants to become a superstar, resources are essential. There are many artists who were originally very capable, but because they don’t have the capital to support them, their fame and income are far lower than those of less capable artists.
Golden Harvest is one of the two giants in the Hong Kong film industry today. Except for Shaw Brothers, it is difficult for other film companies to compete with it. Shaw Brothers is a bigger pit than Jiahe, so comparing the two, Jiahe is actually pretty good.
