In terms of picking up girls, it is actually much easier to pick up girls when you have money.
Just like Neptune's Liang Zhengxian in "Only Thirty", a small town girl like Pao Wang Manni, whose ambition is as high as the sky and whose life is as thin as paper, can easily be captured and won in a few rounds.
And judging from the plot, it's obviously not the first time he's done this. He has reserved tickets at cruise ships, airports, and star hotels all year round, just for fishing.
Xiang Nan's net worth is much higher than Liang Zhengxian's, and his status, status, and influence are much higher than him. Now in the entertainment industry, he dare not say that he can cover the sky with one hand, but he still holds a high position of power and keeps his word.
With his wealth, status, and influence, he doesn't need to take the initiative; there are plenty of people willing to pounce on him.
But for him, things like hidden rules simply don't work.
A film and television drama requires an investment of at least several million, or at most tens of millions. I thought I could be the protagonist after being infiltrated. To be honest, there is nothing so cheap in the world.
Once it fails, investing millions or tens of millions is no joke. No real big boss would take such a big risk.
Unless you are a tycoon who has never seen the world, you will be fed a few bowls of ecstasy soup into a nameless person, and pay real money for the sake of winning a corner.
Xiang Nan's kind can basically pass through thousands of flowers without even a single leaf touching him.

On August 5, 2005, Baidu officially landed on Nasdaq.
The stock issuance price is US$27, a total of 32.3 million shares are issued, and it is expected to raise US$190 million. Based on this valuation, Baidu’s market value at that time was nearly US$4 billion.
Xiang Nan holds 20% of the shares, which is worth US$800 million. This caused Xiang Nan's net worth to rise significantly, from the previous more than 6 billion yuan to 11 billion yuan.
This value has surpassed Ding Lei, the richest man in the country last year, and became the richest person in the mainland. Considering that he is only twenty-five years old, it is really scary.
Unexpectedly, Baidu’s stock price soared on its first day of listing. The issue price was $27, and the opening price rose to $66. Three hours after the market opened, the stock price exceeded $100.
By the afternoon's close, the stock price had more than tripled to $122. Xiang Nan's net worth has also soared to about 20 billion, which is more than double that of Ding Lei, the richest man in the country last year.
Such data is simply eye-catching.
…
In the same year, "Family with Children", "Underground Traffic Station", "Legend of Sword and Fairy", "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty", etc. were launched one after another, and the ratings were very good.
In terms of word-of-mouth, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was criticized by game fans because of some magical changes to the plot. But having said that, whether a TV series is successful or not, ratings determine everything.
This TV series was broadcast on multiple satellite TV stations and achieved amazing ratings. Several protagonists in the play, including Hu Hu, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Chen Hao, Feng Shaofeng, etc., have all gained fame and benefited a lot from this.
"Family with Children" made Yang Wei, Zhang Yishan and Hou Minghao famous. Hou Minghao has learned the accordion since he was a child and has won many awards in strength competitions.
After the casting for "Family with Children" began, he also participated in the audition and competed with You Haoran for the role of Xiao Yu. Finally, after Xiang Nan's decision, Hou Minghao was decided.
Because Hou Minghao's appearance is better and he will have greater development in the future. And You Haoran was cute when he was a child, but when he grew up, he was too cruel to look at. Naturally, he did not have as much potential as Hou Minghao.
"The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" also gave He Bing, who had always been unknown, finally tasted the taste of becoming popular. In fact, Xiang Nan was not planning to use him originally. After all, he was not a youth person. It would be a pity to give him this opportunity.
Guo Tao was initially cast, but his audition performance was unsatisfactory. The grasp of the characters was not accurate enough, and it was a bit frivolous, so it was dismissed.
Later I tried Sayi again. Unexpectedly, it still didn't work, and I felt inexplicably happy. Watching him investigate the case was not nervous at all, but rather a bit of amusement.
Later, Xiang Nan thought about it and decided to break the stereotype and let He Bing play the leading role.
First, he wants to establish a sign that Zhichun Pictures must produce high-quality products, just like Noon Sunshine, Lemon Films, and Shanying Group, all products produced must be high-quality.
Xiang Nan knows that with the economic development of the mainland, the film and television entertainment market will become more and more prosperous, with more and more capital, and competition will become more and more fierce.
Under such circumstances, only by continuously producing good dramas and excellent works can we be able to gain a firm foothold in the market. Otherwise, you will be eliminated in minutes.
Secondly, he wanted all the artists in the company to know that just because they were signed to the company, they would definitely be able to enjoy the shade against a big tree. You still have to hone your acting skills and improve your recovery before you can be reused.
…
He Bing has excellent acting skills, but after graduating from the Chinese Theater Academy in 1991, he has never been reused. Most of the roles played are supporting roles, and the characters don't even have names.
This time he received "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" and when he learned that he was the protagonist, he was so excited that he almost cried.
In order to play this role well, he not only read the script carefully, but also read the records of Song Ci in historical books, Song Ci's monograph "The Record of Cleansing Wrongs", etc., and tried to memorize it by heart.
Therefore, as soon as the filming started, his performance convinced everyone in front of and behind the scenes.
As a result, he became famous in one fell swoop and finally no longer unknown.
After He Bing became famous, he still stayed in Renyi and did not come to Qianzhuang.
However, due to this relationship, when He Bing was invited to play "Youth", He Bing never declined as long as there was a schedule. It's quite interesting.
…
"Underground Traffic Station" stars Sha Yi as the protagonist. With his acting skills and sense of humor, he will definitely have no problem playing Shui Gener. The shopkeeper Sun was also changed from Bao Dazhi to Yan Nier, the cook Yang Baolu was still played by Jiang Sui, and even the little stone was played by Wang Shasha. It was like an anti-war version of "Wulin Gaiden".
Taking advantage of the success of "Wulin Gaiden" and the fact that the script was really funny, "Underground Traffic Station" became very popular after it was aired.
Among them, the most outstanding one is not the senior members of Tongfu Inn, but Jia Guier, who plays the role of a traitor. With his funny appearance and humorous lines, he is simply a living treasure.
…
At the end of the year, "Sword Rain" starring Qiao Zhenyu, Sun Li, Sha Yi, Zeng Lai, and Wang Qingxiang was released. Also released at the same time are "The Promise", which Chen Kaige has been honing his sword for three years, and "The Great Sage", another dubious work by Liu Zhenwei.
The investment amount advertised in "The Promise" is 350 million yuan, which is claimed to be the largest investment in the mainland, twice as much as that of "Hero".
It has also gathered a large number of stars from home and abroad such as Hiroyuki Sanada, Zhang Dongjian, Cecilia Cheung, Nicholas Tse, Liu Ye, Chen Hong, etc., making it the strongest lineup.
"The Great Sage" boasts an investment of 50 million Hong Kong dollars and claims to have special effects comparable to "The Lord of the Rings". Also starring are Nicholas Tse, Cai Zhuoyan, Liang Luoshi, Zhang Chiheng, Guan Zhibin, Chen Bolin and other new generation stars in Hong Kong.
The ten-year ending chapter of "Westward Journey" is also used as a gimmick. To be honest, it is still very eye-catching.
"Sword Rain" is naturally extremely difficult to compete with these two powerful enemies.
