In April, Xiang Nan's role in "Cannonball Race" was completed.
After all, this play is an ensemble piece, and his total appearance time is less than thirty minutes.
One month is enough time for filming.
After the filming of the scene was completed, Xiang Nan said goodbye to Brooke Shields, and then flew back to the mainland to participate in the thesis defense at Peking University.
This was not difficult for him, and he easily achieved high scores.
Later, he took the time to meet with Cong Shan.
"Ning Wei, good news, I'm going to make a movie." Cong Shan said happily as soon as she saw Xiang Nan.
"Making a movie?! Okay, congratulations." Xiang Nan nodded, and then asked with a smile, "Which director has such a vision that he would choose you to act?"
"It's director Xie Jin. He wants me to shoot his new film "Wrangler." Cong Shan said proudly.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan clapped his hands and applauded, "Okay, Director Xie Jin is now a top director in the Mainland. It is definitely an honor for you to work with him. Work hard and don't let people down."
"Yes, I will definitely do it." Cong Shan nodded, then frowned slightly and said, "But I'm just worried about whether I can perform well."
After all, she was still a first-year student and had just started acting. Now, if she is asked to be the starring role and work with a top director, she really has no idea.
"Don't worry, you have to trust Director Xie's vision. If you don't have that ability, he will never ask you to star. He is more cautious than you about the work." Xiang Nan comforted, "So you don't have to worry, although Just do what the director asks.”
"Yeah." Hearing what he said, Cong Shan nodded, feeling reassured.
…
Xiang Nan stayed with Cong Shan in Yanjing for three days, and then took the opportunity to return to Xiangjiang.
At this time, Wang Jing's "The Young Master" has been completed and is in post-production.
He has always been a fast shooter when making movies. At his peak, he released eleven movies in one year.
For example, "The Dragon Crossing the River" was filmed in only nine days.
"Dragon Ninja," directed and starred by Jackie Chan, is still in filming, with only half of the filming done.
Xiang Nan was not surprised by this.
Jackie Chan has always had high requirements for his works. When he was filming "Eagle Project", he invested more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the crew traveled to Asia, Africa and Latin America. Just to create the desert scenery, ten tons of sand were specially transported.
"Dragon Ninja" is his turnaround, so of course he doesn't dare to be careless.
Xiang Nan expressed his understanding and was willing to support him.
Because he plans to leave the Hong Kong market that will be vacated after he goes to Hollywood to be filled by Jackie Chan.
Since you want to promote him as a famous star, you must be willing to spend money.
Jackie Chan is naturally very grateful for this.
When I worked with Luo Wei before, Luo Wei was not a generous person. He would save everything he could when filming, and he would be picky when he could. Many of the sets are so crude and the props are so perfunctory that even Jackie Chan can't stand it. But he wanted to invest more, but Luo Wei refused.
As a result, the film quality is very poor and lacks texture, which naturally makes it difficult for the audience to identify with it.
Now I am so happy to work with a boss who is willing to spend money and respects art.
…
Xiang Nan stayed in Xiangjiang for seven days, mainly accompanying Miao Kexiu and Zheng Wenya.
"Ning Wei, I'm going to immigrate to Canada, what do you think?" Miao Kexiu asked Xiang Nan.
"Why do you suddenly have this idea?" Xiang Nan was stunned and asked doubtfully.
"Now there is no place for me in the Hong Kong film industry." Miao Kerxiu said sadly, "I filmed a few TV series in Li's, but the response was not very good, so I got discouraged and didn't want to film anymore. My family I have immigrated to Canada before, and I am going there now to reunite with them."
Xiang Nan nodded.
Miao Kexiu is nearly thirty years old. She is neither too old nor too young. She debuted in 1970, and now it is 1981, ten years have passed.
In the eyes of today's young audiences, she is already an artist of the previous generation. Even though she is still young and beautiful, to the audience, she is not as cute as a newcomer.
In addition, Miao Kexiu has a deep bond with Bruce Lee, and most of the movies she takes on are related to Bruce Lee.
Now, it has been eight years since Bruce Lee passed away. The audience may miss this superstar, but his box office appeal has inevitably declined.
Just like "Tower of Death", which was hyped under the banner of Bruce Lee's legacy, the box office was less than 2 million Hong Kong dollars. Compared with Xiang Nan's "Police Story", it is an order of magnitude worse.
Bruce Lee is no longer popular, so how popular can the old Dragon Girl still be?
"Besides, aren't you filming in Hollywood? After I immigrated to Canada, I became closer to you." Miao Kexiu added, "If you miss me, come and see me. It's more convenient than going back to Xiangjiang."
"Then what are you going to do after you quit the film industry? Do you have enough savings?" Xiang Nan asked with concern.
"I may go back to school to study." Miao Kexiu explained, "You don't have to worry about money. Although I haven't made much money from filming in the past few years, it is enough for me."
Xiang Nan nodded, "Since you have decided, I will no longer persuade you. Don't worry, I will definitely come to see you."
"Yeah." Miao Kexiu also nodded.
…
Zheng Wenya also quickly became popular with her role as the beautiful girl Salena in "Police Story" and became a popular actress in the Hong Kong film industry. She had countless film roles at one time.
Now she is filming "Gui Ma Zhi Duo Xing" produced by Xinyi City.
This is a comedy with an exaggerated and funny plot. It tells the story of the old man Hu who tried to use a honey trap to defraud the godfather Capone and others out of their money, but was eventually defrauded by the private detective Ye Laixiang and the detective Robin.
Zheng Wenya plays the daughter of Old Man Hu, a charming female con man, which is very similar to her character in "Police Story". She acts with ease and ease.
Because of her busy work schedule, even when Xiang Nan returned to Hong Kong, she could only spare two days to spend with him.
This made her feel very guilty, "Ning Wei, next time you come back, tell me in advance and I will adjust my schedule to accompany you well."
"No, your career is important now. I don't want you to give up your career because of me. That would make me feel bad." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
The so-called separation is better than a new marriage. After being stuck together for too long, we no longer feel anything.
Besides, he could just date Tan Niu.
This woman has been pestering him for almost two years. Out of humanitarianism, he should also give some rain and dew, otherwise it would be too cruel.
Zheng Wenya didn't know what he really thought, but she was very happy to hear what he said.
I feel that Xiang Nan is very open-minded, very understanding, and has no chauvinism. When chasing a girl, he just wants her to stay at home, cook, mop the floor, give birth to children, and be his yellow-faced woman.
"Ning Wei, you are so kind." She said touchedly.
…
Xiang Nan then took Tanniu out to the sea on a rented yacht, spent an unforgettable night, and finally followed her wish.
Before leaving Hong Kong, Xiang Nan helped Wang select another project - "Eight Generals of a Thousand Men", which tells the story of a period of love and hatred in the gambling world.
This is definitely a good show for Wang Jing.
