Then the next day, the whole class heard that Xiang Nan auditioned for the crew of "Nothing Happens" and was confirmed by the director to play the role of Wu Min.
For a moment, everyone turned into lemon essence and were filled with envy.
First of all, the original work "The Happy Life of Zhang Damin", the original work of "Nothing Happens", is really popular. After it was published in "Monthly" last year, it immediately caused a sensation in the literary world.
The original author Liu Heng is one of the most outstanding screenwriters in the mainland film industry.
"Thirteen Hairpins in Jinling", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", "Ju Dou", "Once Upon a Time in China", "The Young Emperor", "Assembly"... are all his masterpieces.
He has also won recognition from many awards such as the Lu Xun Literature Award, the Lao She Literature Award, the Feitian Award, the Golden Rooster Award, the Golden Horse Award, and the Huabiao Award.
Script script, the basis of a play.
With such a story behind it, "Nothing Happens" is very likely to be a high-quality film.
Secondly, the main creative lineup of "Nothing to Do" is also strong enough. Director Yang Aizhou, starring Feng Gong, Ding Jiali, Li Mingqi, Wang Jinsong, etc. are all first-class mainland filmmakers.
With such a good script and such a great cast, it is a foregone conclusion that "Nothing Happens" will cause a sensation. Xiang Nan can be proud to participate in it, even if it is just a small supporting role.
…
Amid everyone's envy, Xiang Nan officially received a call from Yang Anzhou, informing him that he would report to the crew at the end of October, which made him excited.
Xiang Nan immediately applied to the dean for leave. Because he usually does good homework and performs well, and the management of Beijing Film Academy is loose, the school happily granted leave.
After Xiang Nan took a short rest, he was ready to report to the crew.
Before leaving, he exchanged feelings with Qiu Ya and Zhang Jingchu.
"I really envy you for being able to participate in such a good project." Senior Sister Xiao Zhang couldn't help but envy you.
"Don't be envious. When I gain a foothold in the film and television industry, no matter which movie you want to participate in, I can let you participate." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
In the future, the film and television market will be a capital market, and whoever has capital will be able to control the market. Although Xiang Nan is not a capital tycoon now, no one will be richer than him in the future.
When the time comes, arranging a role for Zhang Jingchu will be just a piece of cake. Of course, at that time, the person accompanying him might not be Zhang Jingchu.
"Keep your word, don't lie to me." Zhang Jingchu said excitedly upon hearing this.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Xiang Nan smiled.
…
At the end of October, Xiang Nan officially joined the crew of "Nothing Happens".
"Teacher Feng, Teacher Li, Teacher Ding, Teacher Wang..." Xiang Nan greeted Feng Gong, Li Mingqi, Ding Jiali, and Wang Jinsong warmly.
Everyone saw that he was so young yet so polite, and their first impression was very good.
However, they soon discovered that although Xiang Nan was courteous and kept a very low profile, he was actually different from them.
For example, everyone basically joins the crew alone, but Xiang Nan joins the crew with his agent and assistant. Eating, drinking, removing makeup, and changing clothes are all taken care of.
Another example is that most of the guys ride bikes or take taxis, but Xiang Nan has his own car. Moreover, it was an Audi worth more than 500,000 yuan, with leather seats, air-conditioning and stereo, which made Feng Gong envious.
Although Feng Gong, Ding Jiali, Li Mingqi, Wang Jinsong and others are first-line artists in the mainland film and television industry, their incomes are not high.
For example, Mr. Li Mingqi, who starred in "Huan Zhu Princess", was paid only 1,500 per episode. Although Mr. Feng Gong is a well-known cross talk actor and is also involved in film and television dramas, he does not make much money.
Firstly, his wrists were too big for performing, which meant he lost a lot of income; secondly, the wage system had not been reformed at that time, and the wages of most people who were doing the job were not high in comparison.
Therefore, his car is only a Santana worth more than 100,000 yuan, which is not as good as Xiang Nan's Audi.
The food, drink and clothing are not of the same quality, so naturally some people are envious and jealous.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan knows how to be a good person, and often invites everyone to dinner, and often brings people with him when going to and from the crew. Now that everyone has benefited, there won't be so many things to worry about.
…
"Teacher Li, I just asked someone to buy Goubuli. You can try it while it's hot~" Xiang Nan handed a cage of small meat buns to Teacher Li Mingqi and said.
"Thank you, boy, you're interested." Li Mingqi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, what else would you like to ask today?"
Xiang Nan doesn't have many scenes. Most of the time, he's just a backdrop. Where there are actual lines and plot, the total is less than ten minutes.
However, he did not relax because of this. In addition to cooperating well and acting as his own background when filming, he also took the time to seek acting advice from his seniors at other times.
Although Xiang Nan has inherited Fang Yifan's acting skills, his acting skills are certainly superb compared with ordinary actors, but compared with actors who have become gods like Li Mingqi and Ding Jiali, there is still a gap, and the gap is not even slight. Half a point.
According to the saying in the martial arts world, if your kung fu is one inch higher, it will be infinitely better. The same is true for acting skills, each mountain is higher than the other.
With Xiang Nan's current acting skills, life is certainly enough. Thirty years later, being known as an actor should not be considered too much of a reputation.
But Xiang Nan still hopes to keep improving and make further progress.
This is also the reason why he inherited Chen Xiaozheng’s rigorous style. If it were Xiang Nan from before, he would probably be able to get by.
"Teacher Li, you eat first. When you are full and drink, I will ask you for advice slowly." Xiang Nan grinned.
Li Ming nodded.
Xiang Nan is a good kid, he is courteous, open-minded and eager to learn, he is smart and well-behaved. She quite likes him, so naturally she does not hesitate to teach him everything she has to offer.
…
In addition to filming and learning acting skills, what Xiang Nan also likes to do is go to antique markets to buy and exchange gadgets.
Jinmen has a long history and developed commerce and trade. Since ancient times, it has been a place with abundant resources and rich cultural heritage. In modern times, it was also the main refuge for Manchu elders and lower-country warlords, resulting in the accumulation of antiques and a flourishing antique trade.
Shengjing Road Antique Trading Market is a well-known antique distribution center in the country. Xiang Nan went shopping a few times and collected some treasures.
Such as blue and white from the Ming Dynasty, official kilns from Kang, Yong and Qian, gilt Buddha statues from the Yuan Dynasty, ancient inkstones from the Song Dynasty, rubbings from the Northern Wei Dynasty, jades from the Han Dynasty, bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, etc. A total of nearly 700,000 yuan was invested, which can be said to be quite luxurious.
When Feng Gong heard that he spent so much money on antiques, he couldn't help but worry for him, "Xiao Yuan, you are really not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf.
How young and knowledgeable are you, but you dare to play with antiques? You know how deep the water here is, even I don't dare to buy these things. "
"Uncle Gong, I know, I just have fun and don't dare to spend much money." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Seven hundred thousand is not much!" Feng Gong said with wide eyes, "If you continue to buy randomly, no matter how many records you sell, you won't be able to compensate. Let me introduce you to a friend.
Ask him to help you take a look and see if you can buy these things. If they are all fake, then give up in the future. "
"Okay, does your friend have a proper name?" Xiang Nan asked curiously upon hearing this.
"His name is Wang Gang, the one who played He Shen in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo"." Feng Gong said with a smile.
Xiang Nan suddenly realized. This is indeed a player.
