Entering 1991, in February, "The First Floor in the World" was officially broadcast.
This drama is directed by Feng Xiaogang, written by Xiang Nan, and stars Chen Baoguo, Li Guangfu, Yang Lixin, Pu Qianyu, Lin Fangbing, etc. It can be said to be a fairy-like lineup.
The script is solid, the story has twists and turns, the acting is vivid, and the pace is fast, so it has been well received since its release. As a result, Feng Xiaogang completely made a name for himself in the television industry and established a firm foothold.
But some people commented that Feng Xiaogang achieved this result entirely by flattering Xiang Nan. It has nothing to do with his true ability.
When Feng Xiaogang heard these words, he cried in front of Xiang Nan.
"They are so bullying. When I had no grades, they bullied me and abused me. Now that I have grades, they smear me and suppress me again," he said with red eyes.
"Don't pay attention to them." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I was also criticized by some people in the literary world as "outdated" and "old-fashioned". How about now? I am out of date, and my annual royalties exceed 100 million. Popular They tighten their belts and write books.
Some people are just snobbish and dislike the poor and love the rich. You are worse than him and he looks down on you. If you are better than him, he will be jealous of you. Don't worry about this kind of people at all, just do your own thing. "
"Professor Cheng, you are still at a higher level." Feng Xiaogang nodded.
Xiang Nan smiled.
His realm is not bad. After all, he is a person who has lived several lives, so he is naturally more open-minded than ordinary people.
"Professor Cheng, I want to make a movie, what do you think?" Feng Xiaogang asked again.
"I support it. You have established a firm foothold in the field of TV dramas, and now it's time to venture further upstream." Xiang Nan nodded.
Compared with TV series, movies are more difficult to shoot. Because movies are more sophisticated in production than TV series. Lines, expressions, lighting, scenery, costumes, props... every aspect requires more energy.
Therefore, a director who is good at making movies will have no problem making TV series. However, a considerable number of directors who make TV series will suffer when they switch to making movies.
For example, Zheng Xiaolong has personally filmed countless classic TV series, such as "Four Generations Under One Roof", "Yanjing People in New York", "Golden Wedding", "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and so on. As a result, when he switched to filmmaking, the movie "Turandot: The Beginning of the Curse" almost ruined half his reputation.
"I think so too." Feng Xiaogang nodded.
For ordinary people, being able to become a big director in the TV drama industry would already be very satisfying. But Feng Xiaogang was not satisfied, he wanted to continue climbing up.
"Then what have you decided to take?" Xiang Nan asked with concern.
"I haven't decided yet, what do you think?" Feng Xiaogang waved his hand.
"In my opinion, it's better to take your time when making a movie for the first time. The cost shouldn't be too high, and the story shouldn't be too deep." Xiang Nan suggested, "After all, there are so many ordinary people in this world. If you want to achieve worldly success, , it is better to please these vulgar people.
Like me, I never write about those pioneers. I write what readers like, and I don’t fight with my God of Wealth. "
When Feng Xiaogang heard this, he greatly agreed.
He wants to be a film director, not because he has any lofty pursuit of film art, but purely because film directors are more advanced than television directors.
Just as Xiang Nan said, he still yearns for worldly success. After all, he had suffered too much back then, and now he wanted to stand up and be the master.
However, Feng Xiaogang was still wary of other people's words and stopped cooperating with Xiang Nan when preparing for his new movie. Instead, he collaborated with Wang Wei and made a movie adapted by him - "I Am Your Dad", which tells the story of a middle-aged man and his son.
Xiang Nan doesn't mind this, he will work for him sooner or later anyway.
…
In May 1991, Xiang Nan released "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", which once again set off a buying craze.
At the same time, Han Chunming, who had been in prison for six years, was finally released from prison because of a reduced sentence.
On the day Chunming was released from prison, Xiang Nan, Cai Xiaoli, Ruan Sufen, Guan Xiaoguan, Uncle Guan and others came to greet him at the prison gate.
However, Chunming's eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, and eldest brother-in-law didn't come. Su Meng didn't come either, only the eldest sister and the second sister came.
Seeing him coming out of prison, everyone rushed to greet him.
"Mom~" Chunming couldn't help but have red eyes after seeing Ruan Sufen, and knelt down on the ground with a thud, "The child is unfilial and I'm tired of worrying about you."
"Fifth son, don't say this, get up quickly." Ruan Sufen pulled her son up and said.
"Jianjun, master, eldest sister, second sister, Xiaoguan..." Chunming greeted them one by one.
"Okay, let's stop talking here." Xiang Nan greeted, "Get in the car first, and we can talk slowly when we go home."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded.
Xiang Nan took Chunming to take a bath in Qinghua Pool first to get rid of the bad luck on his body.
Guan Xiaoguan and Cai Xiaoli drove Ruan Sufen and others home respectively.
…
"Jianjun, you are doing well now. You even drive a Mercedes-Benz." Chunming looked at the car and said.
When he went in, Xiang Nan hadn't bought a car yet, but now he has a Mercedes-Benz.
"Nowadays, there are many people with cars in Yanjing City." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Besides, it is very convenient to buy a car now."
Upon hearing this, Chunming nodded, and then looked out the window, "I didn't expect that Yanjing would change so much after not seeing each other for a few years."
When he entered, Yanjing City was still very lagging behind. Not to mention anything else, the clothes people wear only have a few limited colors such as gray, black, white, blue and green. If a girl wears a red skirt, it will be news.
But now he looked around and saw that the pedestrians on the street were all colorfully dressed in various colors and shapes, which made him feel dazzled.
"Yanjing has indeed changed a lot now. Construction is starting everywhere. When I drive out, I will suddenly turn around." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
Around the 1990 Asian Games, Yanjing began large-scale construction, building new buildings and building new roads, almost every day. Coupled with the increasingly hot real estate market and the influx of large amounts of capital, new buildings have sprung up one after another.
Although Xiang Nan did not start a real estate company, he bought many real estate company stocks, such as Vanke, China Merchants Real Estate Holdings, Zhenzhen Special Economic Zone Real Estate Co., Ltd., COFCO Real Estate, etc.
As real estate gradually became popular, he also made a lot of money. However, Xiang Nan also knows that if you want to make money in real estate, you cannot rely solely on stock speculation and housing hoarding.
That kind of operation can only make a small amount of money. To really make money, you have to buy land and build buildings yourself. It is easy to make hundreds of millions or billions by doing a few real estate projects.
However, he is busy with many things and does not have the energy to manage real estate. So he was going to leave this matter to Chunming.
Although Chunming did not graduate in architecture, he was very good at making money. As long as there is money to be made, he can exert his greatest potential.
Therefore, if you leave the real estate business to him, you can't go wrong.
