Zhang Yimou's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Gong Li.
The girl in front of me, with her flaming red lips, long wavy hair, and tight dress, is really charming.
She was completely different from the girl I saw two days ago, as if she was a completely different person.
"This...this..." Zhang Yimou looked up and down carefully for a long time, and finally smiled and clapped his hands, "Not bad, not bad."
"Director Zhang, you think Miss Gong is good, right?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Then are we settled like this?"
"No, no, I mean, the person who does her makeup, beauticians, and chooses clothes is very capable. He is simply a miraculous and reborn person." Zhang Yimou clapped his hands and sighed, "Miss Gong, help you with makeup, beauties, and choose clothes. Who is that? I want to ask her to be the makeup artist of our crew."
"..." Hearing what he said, Xiang Nan and Gong Li couldn't help but be stunned.
"Director Zhang, what do you mean?" Xiang Nan then asked doubtfully.
"That one is an expert. He can paint Miss Gong so beautifully. Wouldn't it be even more beautiful if she gave Shi Ke makeup?" Zhang Yimou explained.
Xiang Nan was speechless for a while, but he immediately spotted Shi Ke.
"Director Zhang, to be honest, I put on the makeup, did the hair, and chose the clothes for Miss Gong." Xiang Nan explained, "I think she is really suitable, won't you consider it?"
"..." Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, "Professor Cheng, thank you for doing so many things. But I still stick to my choice. I think Shi Ke is more suitable than her."
Hearing his firm words, Gong Li's eyes suddenly turned red and he felt a little sad.
Xiang Nan pursed his lips, then nodded, "Okay, you are the director, and I respect your opinion. Now that you have made the decision, I won't cause any more trouble."
"I'm really sorry." Zhang Yimou apologized again.
Xiang Nan waved his hand.
He wasn't angry, he just felt sorry for Zhang Yimou and Gong Li. Because he knew that Gong Li was the most suitable candidate.
Then, he left with Gong Li.
"Miss Gong, I'm really sorry. I gave you hope in vain, but I ended up letting you down." Xiang Nan said somewhat unbearably on the way.
"Don't say that, Professor Cheng, you have already helped me a lot." Gong Li waved her hand, "I am also very grateful." Then she added, "After I change my clothes, I will I’ll give it back to you.”
"No, just accept it and consider it as compensation from me." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"Then why are you embarrassed?" Gong Li said quickly.
This DIOR dress is worth 4,999. And even if she is assigned a job after graduation, it will take at least two or three years before she can afford this dress.
"It doesn't matter, just accept it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "This dress is just right for you. Give it back to me, I have nowhere to give it to you."
"You're so kind to me, how can I thank you?" Gong Li said touchedly, and then grabbed Xiang Nan's leg.
Xiang Nan was stunned, glanced at her, followed her deep V skirt, and then nodded.
At present, Gong Li's dismissal doesn't seem to be that bad.
…
After Zhang Yimou decided that Shi Ke would be the heroine, he felt very sorry for Xiang Nan. When he was leaving, he specially invited Xiang Nan to dinner to apologize.
"Professor Cheng, I'm really sorry for you." He apologized.
"Hey, it doesn't matter. You are the director, so you must have your considerations." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "I respect your choice and have no objection at all."
"Thank you for your understanding, I'd like to toast you." Zhang Yimou raised his glass.
"Yeah." Xiang Nan nodded, "However, I still think Gong Li is good. I hope you will have a chance to cooperate next time."
"Okay." Zhang Yimou nodded.
…
The new year has turned and we have entered 1988.
In January, the long-running TV series "Desire", written by Xiang Nan and starring Zhu Lin, Chen Baoguo and Pu Qianyu, was finally broadcast on Yanjing TV.
Once it was broadcast, it immediately aroused strong repercussions in Sijiu City. The "Legend of the Sea Lantern" that was broadcast on CCTV at the same time was completely defeated and made no noise at all.
At that time, although there was no such thing as grabbing ratings. However, it is really cowardly for the dignified CCTV to be stolen from the limelight by Yanjing TV. The key is that even the superiors were very satisfied when they saw this TV series.
Therefore, CCTV had no choice but to buy "Desire" from Yanjing TV Station and broadcast it nationwide. As a result, this TV series will become even more popular.
It was so popular that people today can hardly imagine it.
For example, when "Longing" was broadcast, no one was on the street, and everyone ran home to watch TV. There are even less petty thefts, fights and troubles. It has to be said that it is a miracle that the broadcast of a TV series can actually reduce the crime rate.
Because this drama is so good-looking, it also makes the audience care about the characters in the drama. Rejoice for their joy and worry for their sorrow.
The saying that the whole country mourned Liu Huifang, the whole country cursed Wang Husheng, and everyone lamented Song Dacheng, was already a unique landscape at that time.
Newspapers and magazines also published numerous reports analyzing and discussing the plot of this TV series. It’s more lively than Weibo’s hot searches in a few decades.
Because of this, several protagonists have become famous. Zhu Lin's popularity has skyrocketed, and posters, calendars, and postcards with her face are selling like hotcakes. Some manufacturers were even willing to pay 200,000 yuan for her to shoot an advertisement.
As a result, Pu Tongyu, Chen Baoguo, etc. have become well-known TV stars and are very popular.
As for Xiang Nan, as a hero behind the scenes, he is not as famous as an actor. But his influence in the film and television industry has still risen to a new level.
Even the China TV Drama Production Center took the initiative to find Xiang Nan, hoping to cooperate with him. Naturally, Xiang Nan would not refuse, and then came up with the script he had prepared long ago - "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo".
This TV series will definitely be popular as long as it is filmed. At that time, this TV series caused a bigger sensation in the mainland than "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan".
Men, women, young and old, who would not hum, "There is a steelyard between heaven and earth, and the weights are the common people..."
After the TV drama production center gets the script, it will review it immediately. But in the end, it was rejected on the grounds of "fictional history, loose plot".
Xiang Nan was not overly disappointed. He knew that the TV drama production center was prefixed with the prefix "国", so filming was naturally not as relaxed as the provincial TV stations.
Therefore, he then gave the script to the Television Art Center under Yanjing TV Station. As if the Television Arts Center had found a treasure, it immediately agreed to start filming.
Xiang Nan also recommended Deng Jie, Guo Xiaozhen, Gao Hongliang, Hou Changrong and other people he was familiar with to join the crew. Make them all very grateful.
In the past six months, they have made a lot of money from acupuncture. But for them, filming is more interesting. It's just that there are many people in Yanjing and few theaters, so they don't often have the opportunity to film.
