From then on, Qiu Ya worked as an assistant next to Xiang Nan.
Serving tea and water, carrying bags and holding umbrellas, driving and booking tickets... she is responsible for all chores.
As for the previous assistant Ni Hongjie, he was promoted to the company's agent. As for the original manager Yan Wei, she was promoted to an artist under the company.
In the past two years, her development has been quite good, and she has participated in "Supermarket Malatang", "Sister Ma, the Idle Man", "Yi Xiao Da Fang", "Northeast Family", "The Story of the Cooking Class" and so on.
Although most of them are just guest appearances, their comedy talents are gradually revealed and they are getting more and more attention from the industry.
…
In June, the recording of Xiang Nan's fifth album "Exclusive Angel" was finally completed, and preparations for shooting the music video began.
In order to better promote this album, Maimiao Records is planning to shoot two music videos.
The main reason for this is that the record market is increasingly depressed. With the rise of the Internet and the rampant piracy technology, sales of physical records and tapes have declined sharply.
An album used to sell three million copies. Now it can sell a million copies, which is already a very popular album. In this case, record companies naturally have to find ways to boost sales.
With the advancement of photography technology, the cost of MV production has actually dropped. Previously, music videos were shot with film, which was very expensive. Nowadays, everyone is switching to digital photography, and the cost has dropped a lot in comparison.
After being screened as the heroines of the mv, Xiang Nan selected Che Chun and Huang Shengyi to film the two mvs of "Exclusive Angel" and "Dongfeng Po" respectively.
"Yuan Hua, the two people you chose are both beauties~" Qiu Ya looked at the photos of the two of them and said with some sadness.
"Qiu Ya, you have to show your identity. You are just my assistant, not my boss." Xiang Nan's face darkened and he looked at her coldly, "Whoever I choose to shoot the MV is my freedom. I am not allowed to You talk too much.
And let me tell you, the entertainment industry has its own game rules. It is inevitable to act when the occasion arises, or to act for real. If you can't accept it, you can quit now. "
Qiu Ya's face turned blue and white for a while when he said it, and she was extremely embarrassed. She had been treated like a princess since she was little, and she had never been scolded like this before, which really made her feel extremely humiliated.
So after hesitating for a moment, she wiped away her tears and left the Youth Studio.
"Yuan Shuai, what's wrong with her?" Ni Hongjie asked doubtfully.
"Don't worry about her, it's just a child losing his temper." Xiang Nan waved his hand and immediately ordered, "Also, help me find an assistant."
Ni Hongjie nodded.
…
Although Qiu Ya resigned from her position as an assistant, she did not break up with him and still lived in Xiang Nan's courtyard. There was food, drink, and a nanny to take care of me, so I felt very carefree.
When he saw Xiang Nan, he didn't say anything and had a cold face.
Xiang Nan knew that she was waiting for him to coax her. However, Xiang Nan didn't want to get used to her bad temper. This time he coaxed her and gave in. I don't know what the trouble will be next time.
Therefore, he simply did not return to the courtyard. Anyway, he has many houses in Yanjing and can find a place to sleep anywhere.
In addition, he also stopped Qiu Ya's credit card and even charged the Passat she drove. He just wanted Qiu Ya to know that she couldn't survive in Yanjing without him.
…
A few days later, after careful selection, Xiang Nan selected Tong Liyan as his assistant.
She started dancing since she was a child, joined the New Rein Song and Dance Troupe, and participated in the Miss New Rein beauty pageant. In 2002, she came to Yanjing to make a career, participated in the film and television newcomer selection competition, and won the gold medal.
However, drifting to the north is not that easy. Not to mention her non-major, even students who graduated from Beijing Film Academy and China National Theater Academy are often unable to get a role.
She won the gold medal in the film and television newcomer selection competition, but she also had no filming. Seeing that her funds were about to run out, she could only hurry up and find a job.
It happened that Zhichun Studio was recruiting people, and she heard that Xiang Nan was the boss, so she came here because of his reputation. She hopes that if there is a chance, she can become an assistant and be promoted to an actress, so that she can realize her dream of becoming a star.
…
After Tong Liyan joined the company, the MV shooting began immediately.
Directors, Xiang Nan chose Wu Erqian and Ning Hao respectively.
Wu Ertian is a senior who graduated from Beijing Film Academy in 1994. After graduation, he founded a studio and made a living by shooting commercials, short films, and performance art, and won many industry awards.
Ning Hao is a student in the Department of Photography. He has been engaged in film creation since 2001. He also won the Best Director Award at the Yanjing University Student Film Festival, showing his talent early.
Xiang Nan also knows what these two people are capable of, so he wants to cooperate with them.
Firstly, let’s see if they are as good as the legend says; secondly, we hope to lay a solid foundation so that we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.
…
Che Chun and Huang Shengyi were both very excited about cooperating with Xiang Nan in filming the music video.
"Yuan Shuai, you don't know, you are my idol, I really like to listen to your songs." Huang Shengyi said with burning eyes, "If you don't believe it, I can sing it for you. You are the sun and moon in my heart. , fell here..."
"Okay, ok! I believe it! No need to sing anymore." Xiang Nan waved his hands and smiled, "I will give you an autograph and take a photo with you later. But now, I hope you can calm down and stay focused, we are going to take a photo mv."
"Yes, I will definitely focus." Huang Shengyi nodded quickly.
For the music video of "East Wind Breaks", Xiang Nan copied Jay Chou's original version, which depicts a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, where the young master and the young lady are in love with each other and love each other. Decades later, time has passed, things and people have changed, and the mansions of the past are only left in ruins, leaving lovers sighing.
The style of this MV is very high and artistic, so Xiang Nan used Wu Erzhen to shoot it.
After Wu Erzhen graduated, he set up his own studio and shot art short films and advertisements, which received high praise.
Although this was his first time filming a music video, Xiang Nan was very satisfied with the ability he showed. How to schedule, how to arrange, the pictures, scenery, props, actors' acting skills, movements, expressions, etc. are all well controlled. It can be seen that the director's skills are really solid.
Xiang Nan was also very satisfied.
"Brother, are you interested in making a serious movie?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
Wu Erji was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Junior brother, what you are asking...are there any directors who don't want to make a serious movie?"
If someone is willing to invest, Bastard Badan would only want to make short films and commercials.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "In that case, let's work together. I'll invest and you'll be the director. How about it?"
"Junior brother, stop joking, what should I do if I take it seriously!" Wuerji couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
"I'm not kidding." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "What, you think I can't get the money?"
"..." Wuerji blinked, "Do you really want to invest in making a movie? You have to think about it. In today's movie world, it's not just about having money."
Although mainland movies are not as developed as Hollywood and cannot be considered an industry, they can still be considered an industry. Since it is an industry, it is quite complex. It does not mean that you can get through it if you have money.
Project establishment, filing, approval, filming, production, distribution... there are so many links, so many processes, it is almost possible that all the efforts will be wasted.
"I know, I'm willing to try." Xiang Nan nodded, "Then do you dare?"
"Since you're not afraid, what should I be afraid of?" Wu Erzhen said with a grin.
"You're going to make a movie, do you have my share?" Upon hearing this, Huang Shengyi immediately ran over and asked, hugging Xiang Nan's neck affectionately.
