Xiang Nan then took the time to film "Master Dragon".
He was delayed for ten days this time. If he didn't rush the work, he would miss the deadline.
Because he was in a hurry to film, Xiang Nan didn't go to see Miao Kexiu recently.
This made her worry about gains and losses, and she began to worry that Xiang Nan wouldn't like her and would change her goal.
After all, for a popular star like him, picking up girls is really easy.
If he doesn't chase others, others will chase him because of his charm, his fame, and his net worth. Compared with those young and beautiful girls, she has no advantage.
…
In January 1980, Xiang Nan returned to Peking University and took the final exam.
I also took the time to meet with Cong Shan and brought her some gadgets, such as Sony's new Walkman, sunglasses and bell-bottom pants.
Cong Shan was surprised to see such pleasant music coming out of the small Walkman machine.
She had only seen a large tape recorder before, bigger than two bricks stacked together. It's not fun to carry it by hand, but it's fun to carry it on your shoulders and walk around the city.
She looked quite envious at the time. But now, compared with the thin and compact Walkman in her hand, those recorders seemed too bulky and bulky.
Sunglasses and bell-bottom pants are also the most popular outfits nowadays. Wearing them will make you the most handsome guy on the street. In order to show that their sunglasses are imported, some people are not even willing to tear off the trademarks on the lenses.
Therefore, every gift Xiang Nan gave was so delicious, and she naturally liked it very much.
"In one month, the art exam will be held. Are you okay?" Xiang Nan asked with concern.
"There should be no problem, but I'm still a little worried." Cong Shan nodded.
"Don't be too nervous. It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam." Xiang Nan comforted her, "I can take you to Xiangjiang, and I will definitely let you have a role in filming."
Hearing what he said, Cong Shan nodded, feeling much more at ease.
…
At the end of January, "Master Dragon" was finally completed after four months of arduous filming.
After the filming was completed, Xiang Nan also breathed a sigh of relief.
He has been working very hard these past few months, filming for more than thirteen hours a day. Unless he was young and strong and had time to spare, he would probably be exhausted.
After the play ended, he had to take a good rest.
However, before taking a break, he still arranged a new play "Man Scares Ghosts" for Lin Zhengying, Ren Shiguan and others.
Unlike himself, who earns millions per film, supporting actors such as Lin Zhengying and Yam Shiguan only earn 50,000 to 60,000 Hong Kong dollars per film. For those stand-ins or martial arts masters, it is considered good if they can get a salary of 20,000 yuan per movie.
If they were like Xiang Nan and only filmed two or three movies a year, they would have starved to death long ago. If Xiang Nan doesn't open a new drama for them, they will have no choice but to venture outside.
In that case, the newly established Ning family class would be disbanded. Therefore, Xiang Nan must continue to play in order to attract these talents.
This is also the reason why Sammo Hung opened three companies in succession, namely Kai Bao He, Kai Debao, and Kai Baoxiang, and had to shoot more than a dozen movies a year. If we really don’t film, we won’t be able to support those brothers.
"People Scare Ghosts" is a fantasy kung fu film released by Golden Harvest in 1984. After its release, it achieved a box office of less than 7 million, which is still a good result.
This movie was originally intended for Jackie Chan, but now that he has been recalled by Lo Wei, the opportunity can only be given to others.
Xiang Nan then invited Yuan Biao to star, which could be regarded as compensation for stealing his famous film "The Prodigal Son".
At this time, Yuen Biao had already filmed films such as "The Miscellaneous Family", "Lam Sai Wing", "Single Sword", etc., but he was not yet popular. Because he has starred in very few movies, and the box office is not high.
The box office of "The Little One" was less than 3 million, which was less than half of Jackie Chan's "Scary". Therefore, Xiang Nan offered him a salary of 150,000 yuan.
Even so, Yuan Biao was very happy. When he starred in "The Family" with Sammo Hung, his salary was only 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. One hundred and fifty thousand is very fair.
…
After "The Scary Man" was launched, Xiang Nan returned to the mainland and prepared to celebrate the New Year with his family.
At this time, Cong Shan had also begun to take art exams, and successively signed up for admissions to Beijing Film Academy and China National Theater.
Xiang Nan returned just in time to tutor her.
You know, he also took the art exam back then and has extremely rich acting experience. He is definitely qualified to guide Cong Shan.
"Hey, this dance should be performed like this, yes, the neck should be raised and the arms should be straight..."
"The part where you enunciate and pronounce words is here, not here. If you just rely on your voice to pronounce words, you will become mute in an hour."
"You must know how to adapt to changes and don't stick to the routines in the book. If you want to stand out, you must have your own style."
Xiang Nan takes Cong Shan to study every day and provides her with ten days of assault training.
He has both acting experience and teaching skills. Under his guidance, Cong Shan really learned a lot. Moreover, she is also very talented. In her debut film "Wrangler", she showed extraordinary acting skills.
Therefore, her abilities improved very quickly.
In mid-February, Cong Shan participated in the admissions examinations of China National Theater and Beijing Film Academy, and with her outstanding performance, she was unanimously recognized by the admissions teachers.
In the end, her professional results ranked first among thousands of candidates, which can be said to be quite impressive. As long as she passes the cultural exam, Cong Shan can study at China National Theater and Beijing Film Academy.
And based on her usual academic performance, there must be no problem in cultural classes. After all, she was a top student every year for three years in high school. So it was almost certain that I would get into Chinese drama.
…
"Ning Wei, thank you. Without your guidance, I would not have achieved such good results." Cong Shan said gratefully.
Xiang Nan smiled, and he did his part to do this.
In the 1980s, art exams were still a new term. The vast majority of candidates are only interested in acting, so they apply for China National Theater and Beijing Film Academy.
But I know almost nothing about the exam process, exam content, exam-taking skills, etc. After all, this is not as developed as information in later generations, and there are so many training institutions.
Therefore, many candidates are in a state of confusion when they arrive at the examination room, and even if they are 10% successful, they may not be able to exert even 50% of their ability.
In comparison, Cong Shan had his own tips and was already quite familiar with the exam process, exam content, and exam-taking skills.
In addition, she has no psychological burden, and even if she fails in the exam, she has Xiang Nan to support her. Therefore, if she is very successful, she can even perform at 120%. With extraordinary performance, it is naturally easy to obtain high scores.
"I've helped you so much, all I want is a thank you with red lips and white teeth?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
Cong Shan was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Then how do you want me to thank you?"
Xiang Nan chuckled mischievously and hugged her into his arms, "You are now a quasi-college student. You can also do some adult things."
When Cong Shan heard this, she immediately blushed with embarrassment, but did not push Xiang Nan away.
They have been together since 1977, and it has been three years now. In three years, although they were together less and separated more, her love for Xiang Nan continued to grow.
In her heart, she had already regarded him as the love of her life. Not to mention giving herself to him, she was willing to die for him.
