Xiang Nan recognized that this young man described as wretched was none other than Feng Xiaogang, one of the most outstanding directors in the mainland ten years later.
He directed "Party A and Party B", "No End", "See You or Be Parted", "Big Shot", "A World Without Thieves", etc., which are all classic New Year comedies.
"Youth", which Xiang Nan has been to before, was also directed and filmed by him, which is considered a marriage.
However, looking at Feng Xiaogang's current situation, it is obvious that he is just a choreographer, and he is still far away from becoming the top director in the country.
But this was also the time when Xiang Nan was fishing for the bottom, taking advantage of his humble situation to provide him with help in the snow. After he becomes famous, he can harvest it.
Although it was once said in the world that Feng Xiaogang was a bit snobbish, he favored those who were superior and disdained those who were inferior. He first got along with Wang Jie, who could be said to be the most popular writer in the mainland in the 1980s and 1990s.
Works such as "The Stewardess", "It's Fun", "Playing with Heartbeat", "Stubborn", "Nothing Serious", "Half Seawater, Usually Fire" have all aroused great repercussions after their release.
The film and television dramas adapted from these have become hits one after another. Because of this, Wang Xie became a favorite in the film and television industry. Feng Xiaogang received his support and began to stand out.
By the late 1990s, Wang's works were criticized and their popularity declined rapidly. Feng Xiaogang also abandoned him and joined a new branch.
Wang Jie was so angry that Xiao Yejing scolded him for being immoral, and even deliberately added a character named Feng Pants to his work "Days Related to Youth" to disgust him.
However, Xiang Nan believed that the water would not be able to overflow the boat. With his ability, it is a piece of cake to suppress a director.
…
Feng Xiaogang held up the camera and helped Xiang Nan take some good photos.
After all, he has been on the crew for several years, and his photography skills are quite sufficient.
After taking the photo, Xiang Nan smiled and shook Feng Xiaogang's hand, "Thank you, friend~"
"I haven't said anything yet, Professor Cheng, it's my honor to serve you." Feng Xiaogang grinned and said with a flattering look on his face.
"Don't say that, we all serve the people." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Yes, Professor Cheng, you are still at a high level." Feng Xiaogang said with a smile, "Professor Cheng, can I take a picture with you? To be honest, I particularly like your works. Especially "The Emperor Trilogy" It’s simply a masterpiece.”
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded.
Feng Xiaogang was so happy that he quickly handed the camera to others and asked others to take pictures with them.
After Feng Xiaogang finished filming, other crew members, seeing how friendly Xiang Nan was, also came over hoping to take a group photo.
At that time, a nationally renowned writer like Xiang Nan was as influential as a top idol thirty years later. Shu Ting, who wrote "To the Oak Tree," published her new poem at the Workers' Gymnasium, and tens of thousands of people flocked in. She was so enthusiastic.
"Go back and develop a copy of the photo and send it to my office." Xiang Nan told Feng Xiaogang, and this was also a line he left. If Feng Xiaogang was smart enough, he should follow this line and pursue him.
"Don't worry, I'll get it done for you." Feng Xiaogang responded immediately.
…
Two days later, Xiang Nan was correcting students' homework in the office.
At this time, a teaching assistant came in and said, "Professor Cheng, Comrade Feng is looking for you."
"Okay, bring him here." Xiang Nan nodded.
A moment later, Feng Xiaogang's slightly vulgar face appeared in front of Xiang Nan.
"Hello, Professor Cheng! I have developed all the photos you want for you." Feng Xiaogang smiled and handed over an envelope.
Xiang Nan opened it and took a look, then smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'm sorry to bother you."
"You see you are always so polite to me, it makes me feel embarrassed. Being able to serve you is a blessing I have earned in eight lifetimes." Feng Xiaogang said with a smile.
"Too modest." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, then pulled out the photo of Zhu Lin and him alone, "Comrade Feng, please show this photo to Miss Zhu for me and ask her to sign it."
"Hey, okay." Feng Xiaogang nodded, "It's all on me."
"Okay, thank you." Xiang Nan nodded and handed over another ten yuan note, "Take it for a taxi."
"Hey, what do you mean? It's my blessing to serve you. How can I ask for your money? You take it back, you take it back, you give me money, that's a slap in my face." Feng Xiaogang said repeatedly,
Xiang Nan smiled.
Even though I knew Feng Xiaogang was flattering him, and the flattery was a little too strong, it still felt good to tell the truth. It's no wonder that he can rise from an art assistant to a great director. He really couldn't have done it without the ability to flatter people and find opportunities to exploit every opportunity.
"No, the King of Hell still has hungry soldiers." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Take it."
"No, no, no." Feng Xiaogang refused firmly, "Professor Cheng, please take the money back. If you can't do it, I'll leave first." Then, he took the photo and ran away.
Because he knew that as long as the money was collected, the favor Xiang Nan owed him would be over. After all, ten yuan is enough to help run errands.
But no matter how short he was of these ten dollars, he would rather let Xiang Nan owe him a favor. For such a big shot, even a little bit of leakage between his fingers is enough to support him.
Xiang Nan watched him leave in a panic and saw that Feng Xiaogang was a talent.
Ten dollars is not too little for him. The monthly salary of a crew member like him is only one or two hundred. But he actually didn't want it, which shows that he is still very judgmental and deserves to be cultivated.
…
In the afternoon, Xiang Nan took Guan Xiaoguan to the prison to visit Han Chunming.
After Chunming entered the hospital last year, Xiang Nan would visit him every month and talk to him.
With Xiang Nan's care, Chunming was not bullied in prison and did not have to work like other prisoners.
Xiang Nan arranged a good job for his trustee and was responsible for taking care of the prison's library. The work is easy and he can also read, so it is a good choice for him.
"Brother Jianjun, come to my place tonight." Guan Xiaoguan invited.
Xiang Nan hesitated for a moment. He actually had an appointment with a student from Beijing Foreign Studies University to dance tonight, and he didn't want to miss the date.
Because the student looked similar to Shen Xun, the host of Phoenix Satellite TV, and it was enough to look real.
If he accompanied Guan Xiaoguan, he would have to miss this beauty, which made Xiang Nan reluctant to leave.
But having said that, he and Guan Xiaoguan haven't been together for a week, so it's time to comfort them. Otherwise, she would always be ready to take action.
Don't look at what she said before, she doesn't want a status, she doesn't want an engagement, she doesn't care about eternity, she only cares about what she once had, but that's nothing. Any oath, once spoken, is broken.
In this regard, Xiang Nan could only comfort her more and spend more energy with her.
"Okay, but I have to leave before eight o'clock." Xiang Nan said, "I have an unfinished manuscript and I have to finish it tonight."
"Don't worry, as long as you satisfy me, it's no problem to leave at half past seven." Guan Xiaoguan said with a smile.
After all, girls who grew up in the United States have a much tougher style than girls from the mainland.
