Chapter 1785 1787 [Death-fighting performance]
Xiang Nan then took Cong Shan to the studio to let her see with her own eyes how Xiangjiang''s movies are shot.
“This is Jackie Chan, and this is Cong Shan.” Xiang Nan introduced, “Let’s get to know each other.”
“Brother Ning, is this sister-in-law?” Jackie Chan asked with a smile.
Xiang Nan has never brought a girl to the set before, so seeing him bring Cong Shan here for the first time makes people curious about their relationship.
"No, she''s my cousin." Xiang Nan explained, "She was admitted to a Chinese opera show in the mainland and will be a star in the future, so I brought her to see her in advance."
“That’s it, please, please.” Jackie Chan said with a smile when he heard it.
When the crew members learned that Cong Shan was Xiang Nan’s cousin, they all smiled and came forward to say hello.
Cong Shan was a little puzzled and asked doubtfully, "Ning Wei, am I obviously your girlfriend? Why don''t you dare to admit it and lie and say I''m your cousin?"
“Hey, the culture in Xiangjiang is different from ours. The media here is very vicious and often exposes people’s privacy. If you don’t believe it, look at the newspapers and see how many reports are just tidbits about rich people and entertainers.
??I want to say that you are my girlfriend. When the media gets wind of it, it will be a big trouble. Xiang Nan explained, "Are you willing to be followed by a large group of reporters every time you go out?" Are you willing to be secretly photographed by reporters even when you go to the toilet? Are you willing to make tabloid headlines even if you yawn? "
"Of course not." Cong Shan waved her hands after hearing this.
??His big and small affairs have all been published in the newspapers, which is scary to think about.
"Yes. Therefore, artists and wealthy people in Xiangjiang pay great attention to protecting their privacy and will not make their love affairs public." Xiang Nan explained, "This is also the reason why I will not reveal your identity."
"So that''s it." Cong Shan suddenly realized, "I thought you thought I was old-fashioned and couldn''t do anything."
"Nonsense. You are so beautiful. There are not many people in Xiangjiang who can compare with you." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "If I really thought you couldn''t do anything, would I bring you to the set and introduce everyone to me? Shanshan, Do you still have doubts about my feelings for you? "
"No, it won''t." Cong Shan shook her head quickly and said, "Ning Wei, I know you love me, and I love you too. I just feel inferior because I''m afraid I''m not good enough for you."
"Don''t worry, if you weren''t worthy of me, I wouldn''t have pursued you in the first place." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Relax, I won''t let you go."
“Yeah.” Cong Shan nodded.
…
?Cong Shan stayed on the set for half a day and saw with her own eyes how Hong Kong films are shot.
How to set up the camera, how to adjust the lighting, how to use stunts, how to design actions... it really opened her eyes.
“So that’s how the movie was shot, I understand.” Cong Shan nodded.
“It’s easy to watch, but not so easy to actually act.” Xiang Nan said with a smile, “Besides, filming in Hong Kong and Mainland China is different.
??Hong Kong is a private film industry, and filming is mainly for entertainment. Selling money is the most important, so what matters is how fast and economical it is. Mainland China is a state-owned film studio, and filming is mainly about art, making money is secondary, so the emphasis is on excellence. When you film in the Mainland in the future, you should talk less and watch more and think more. "
“Yeah.” Cong Shan nodded.
…
After staying in Xiangjiang for five days, Cong Shan decided to return to the mainland.
Because she found that Xiang Nan was very busy, and he had to make decisions on big and small matters. He would often accompany her shopping for a whole day, and then work overtime when she got back in the evening to deal with the accumulated work.
She couldn''t bear to see him work so hard, so she said goodbye to Xiang Nan, "Ning Wei, I''d better go back."
"Just stay a few more days. You have nothing to do when you go back anyway," Xiang Nan persuaded. "No, you are so busy and you still have to accompany me every day." Cong Shan waved her hands and said, "I''d better go back so I won''t cause you any more trouble."
“Well, when I’m not busy anymore, I’ll invite you over and have a good time.” Xiang Nan nodded, and then helped Cong Shan buy a plane ticket.
"Shanshan, this is 30,000 yuan, you take it back." Before leaving, Xiang Nan took out a wad of money and said.
“What is this?” Cong Shan was a little confused.
“Take it back and buy some TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, etc. for your home. You can buy these products at the Friendship Store,” Xiang Nan explained.
"I don''t want it. It''s not like my family has no money, so why should I use yours?" Cong Shan waved her hand.
?Her parents have returned to work now. Although they don’t earn a lot, it’s enough to spend their money.
"You are my future wife, so what does it matter if you spend my money? My money is your money, why don''t you share it with me?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Hearing what he said, Cong Shan blushed and had no choice but to take it.
…
?After Cong Shan left, Xiang Nan started filming "Police Story".
He plays Chen Jiaju, Chung Chu-hong plays his girlfriend A Mei, Zheng Wenya plays the **** and charming Salina, Dong Piao plays Uncle Biao, the police chief is played by Wu Weiguo, and the drug lord is played by Tian Jun...
??When the media learned that the investment in this film was as high as 12 million Hong Kong dollars, they were all surprised and dumbfounded. Because at that time, five to six million was enough to make a movie.
The highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong is "The Prodigal Son" starring Xiang Nan, with a total box office of only 10 million. Therefore, the investment of 12 million Hong Kong dollars can be regarded as the largest investment in Hong Kong film history. Naturally, everyone was surprised.
Because of this, the media attaches great importance to this movie and reports news about it every three days.
Because it received a lot of coverage, the audience became a little curious and speculated on how exciting the movie was. As a result, the movie became popular before it was released, and the attention was extremely high.
?For example, it is no less than "Avengers 4" before its release that year.
…
This film was also given high hopes by Xiang Nan, who regarded it as his own transformational film, and therefore his requirements were relatively strict.
Not only the martial arts crew of the crew have to fight hard, but also the actresses Zhong Chuhong and Zheng Wenya have to go into battle personally. This also made them both complain endlessly.
After all, they are all delicate girls. Now it is really difficult for them to go into battle and get beaten.
?However, they also know that opportunities are rare. After all, with a large investment of 12 million Hong Kong dollars, not everyone has the honor to star in it. The two of them are lucky to be able to act.
??If the movie is a hit at the box office, both of them will also benefit a lot. Therefore, the two of them gritted their teeth and persisted, not escaping from many dangerous moves. They went into battle in person and were beaten into bruises and bruises, which made Xiang Nan admire them.
As for Xiang Nan himself, he was even more desperate.
??Whether it’s hanging an umbrella on a bus, running on a steep slope, or even jumping off a light pole, it’s all done in person.
?Those moves were so dangerous that even senior martial arts masters such as Lin Zhengying, Ren Shiguan, and Qian Yuesheng were daunted, but Xiang Nan completed them all.
?Precisely because he fought so hard, everyone in the Ning family did not dare to be vague and enthusiastically responded, making the action scenes of "Police Story" far more exciting than other movies.
