Xiang Nan only stayed in Xihong City for a week, and returned to Yanjing City after taking the college entrance examination.
Firstly, that sister's new album "Conquest" is about to be released, and he had promised to promote it for her; secondly, Xiang Nan intends to invest more in the capital, buying some real estate, antiques, oil paintings, etc.
Before leaving, Xiang Nan had a secret conversation with Yuan Jianguo.
"Dad, my son is now very successful in his career, which is enough to support the family and allow you to live a good life." He said, "Stop being greedy, hand over all the money you have earned, and take the initiative to explain your mistakes. I believe you will be forgiven." Deal with it. No matter if you take a back seat or retire directly, don't worry, I will take care of you."
Yuan Hua's father is a corrupt official, which is both explicit and implicit in the film.
To be clear, just as Zhang Yang said, how could our Uncle Yuan go in so well?
The hint is expressed through the daily food, drink and clothing of Yuan Hua's family.
For example, Yuan Hua's family was equipped with computers in 1997. At that time, a cheap computer cost only six to seven thousand yuan. People who were not particularly wealthy could not afford it.
Although Yuan Hua's mother only appeared briefly for a few seconds, you can clearly see that she is wearing a pearl necklace, a silver bracelet, and is full of jewels.
In the 1990s, civil servants' salaries were not high, not even as high as those of workers in coastal electronics factories. The living standard of Yuan Hua's family is far higher than that of ordinary people. This shows that Yuan Hua's father is indeed unclean.
Therefore, he committed a crime and went to jail later, and it was probably while Yuan Hua was studying in college that he committed the crime. Otherwise, if Yuan Hua successfully graduates from college, even if his father commits a crime, he will not have to make a living by fishing at sea.
"Son, what are you talking about? How could I be greedy for money?" Yuan Jianguo blushed when his son said this and denied it.
"Dad, please don't hide it from me. My son is not a fool. With our family's conditions, how can it be possible with your salary alone." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "How much money you have embezzled, you should pay it back." Come on, if it’s not enough, I’ll help you add more.”
"No, no, I'm really not greedy." Yuan Jianguo still denied.
"Dad, don't be so stubborn. I'm your biological son, and you shouldn't hide it from anyone." Xiang Nan said sincerely, "I advise you like this for your own good.
Think about it, I have only made my debut for a year and have already made millions. I will make more money in the future and make our family's life prosperous.
But one day your scandal comes to light, and no matter how much money I make, you won’t be able to enjoy it. When the time comes, you can regret it behind bars.
Maybe I will have to suffer from you too. If people know that I am the son of a corrupt criminal, who will still like me and support me? "
Yuan Jianguo thought for a while and felt that what his son said made sense.
He is greedy for money and hopes to improve his family's life and make his wife and son's life better. Today, my son has made a lot of money. It is no exaggeration to say that this is more money than he has ever made in his entire life.
And the money was earned openly. It's not like him who is greedy for that little money and is always on tenterhooks, fearing that something will happen. Therefore, it is better for him to exchange the money back.
"Okay, son, I will listen to you." Yuan Jianguo nodded.
…
After returning to the capital, Xiang Nan first flirted with Zhang Jingchu, and then began to purchase real estate in Yanjing.
With the huge sales of "To Youth", Xiang Nan also received millions in royalties. This money is enough for him to spend for a while.
In the 1990s, housing prices in Yanjing were also really cheap. Even the quadrangle at the base of the imperial city can be acquired for only a few million, which can be said to be quite a bargain.
Xiang Nan took the opportunity to buy a courtyard house, a villa, and two small apartments. This can be regarded as a cunning rabbit's three caves. In the future, when you take women out to have fun, you don't have to worry about being stuck in the bed.
In addition to being busy buying a house, Xiang Nan also found time to accept two advertisements.
In fact, after he became famous after the Spring Festival Gala, advertisers have already approached him.
However, at that time, there were mostly small brands, and Xiang Nan really looked down upon them. In addition, he was not short of money at the time, so he rejected those advertisements.
Unlike Charlotte, who once became famous and became rich suddenly, he even accepted abortion advertisements. It was so shameless.
After the album "To Youth" became a hit, especially after Xiang Nan's national promotion, his popularity and status in the entertainment industry soared, and many big brands offered him an olive branch.
After Xiang Nan thought about it, he accepted two advertisements first. One order is for Huiyuan Juice, and the other is for Semir Clothing.
The reason why I accepted these two advertisements was that the remuneration was more appropriate. The endorsement of Huiyuan Juice for two years is worth RMB 1 million; the endorsement of Semir Clothing for three years is worth RMB 1.6 million.
Secondly, Xiang Nan still has feelings for these two brands. When he was in school, he always bought Semir clothes, and he always drank Huiyuan juice during Chinese New Year and holidays.
Xiang Nan took the time to shoot four commercials and earned more than two million yuan.
This is also his main source of money to buy a house.
…
It is worth mentioning that Xiang Nan has not signed with a management company yet, but has only signed a record contract with Maimiao Records. His agency contract is still in his hands.
First, in the late 1990s, there were no decent brokerage companies in the mainland. Many celebrities work as helpers and find people to take care of their own business. Their agents are either their relatives or their friends.
For example, that sister's agent is her sister; Li Bingbing's agent is also her sister; Li Anpeng's agent is a friend of his wife Wang Fei, the wife of artist Jing Gangshan... In the movie, Charlotte also asked Qiu Ya to be her sister. agent.
It was not until two thousand years ago that Huayi Media established a brokerage company that the market became formalized, standardized, and systematic.
Before that, this field was basically in chaos, so Xiang Nan didn't dare to sign himself out casually.
Secondly, Xiang Nan actually didn't intend to sign the agency contract. When an agent signs a contract with someone else, it is equivalent to putting a halter on oneself. At that time, my acting career will be arranged by the agency.
It would be okay if they were dedicated, but if they were not, they would hold him back or even directly destroy his career.
There have always been countless artists who have been ruined by brokerage companies. For example, Xu Huaiyu was hidden by the company because she did not obey the company's orders. She went from being a little queen to a transparent person. At the worst time, there was only one chicken on the New Year's Eve dinner table, which can be said to be quite miserable.
Therefore, subsequent artists have learned a lot. Artists who have become famous often set up their own studios. Be your own boss and hire people to take care of your own business.
This way you can protect your own interests without having to give a share to the brokerage company. The bigger advantage is that you can also sign new people, be the boss, use your popularity, connections, and capital to support new people and earn a share.
Therefore, Xiang Nan also considered doing this.
