Xiang Nan immediately began to make preparations.
Director Li An was also very interested in directing this movie after reading Xiang Nan's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" script.
Because he originally liked Wang Dulu and had always wanted to adapt it, and now he finally had the chance.
In terms of actresses, Xiang Nan recommended Yang Ziqiong and Zheng Peipei. They are absolutely suitable for the roles of Yu Xiulian and Blue Eyed Fox.
As for actors, Li An recommended Zhang Chen and Lang Xiong.
Chang Chen's father is Chang Kwok-chu, a well-known Taiwanese artist who debuted in 1991 and has appeared in "Happy Face", "Love to Kill", "Seven Days of Love", "The Unbridled Girl of the Tang Dynasty" and so on.
Chang Chen's first movie, "The Murder of the Boys on Guling Street," was a co-starring performance with his father. Although it was his first time filming, his performance was very good and he was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.
After that, Chang Chen went on to star in "Mahjong", "Butterfly Lovers", etc., and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, thus gradually gaining recognition in the industry.
Xiang Nan is very satisfied with the candidates recommended by director Li An, and Li An also approves of the candidates recommended by Xiang Nan. There is one trouble now, that is, the candidate for Yu Jiaolong has not been decided yet.
In the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Yu Jiaolong is the most important character. In the play, she is in opposition to everyone, and all conflicts arise because of her. In the end, her death resolves all conflicts.
If the role of Yu Jiaolong is not chosen well, then the movie will be a waste.
Xiang Nan and Li An naturally had to be cautious about this.
Li An recommended Taiwanese singer Xu Huaiyu to Xiang Nan. She is 21 years old and is a singer. She sold millions of records as soon as she debuted. She is now the most famous rising star in Taiwan.
However, Xiang Nan rejected Li An's proposal, "Our film is a Chinese film, and I hope there will be actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. There is a shortage of mainland actors right now, and I think we can consider it."
Seeing Xiang Nan say this, Li An couldn't hold on, so he nodded.
…
Later, Xiang Nan recommended Zhang Ziyi to Li An.
She was still a third-year student at the Chinese Theater Academy and was filming "My Father and Mother" with Zhang Yimou.
Li An and Xiang Nan flew to Yanjing and interviewed Zhang Ziyi on the spot. Li An was very satisfied with Xiang Nan's recommendation.
Because he noticed that there was a fierceness in Zhang Ziyi's eyebrows, which fit well with Yu Jiaolong's character of fighting against heaven and earth and never giving in.
Then he made the final decision on Zhang Ziyi.
Zhang Ziyi was so surprised when he heard that he could cooperate with Xiang Nan that he couldn't believe his ears.
So many top superstars in the country did not have such an opportunity. She did not expect that this opportunity would fall on a newcomer like her. It was simply unimaginable.
"Mr. Ning, is this true? Do you really want me to cooperate with you?" She confirmed again.
"Okay, don't think too much. I'll give you the script. Try to figure out the role." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "When you see Director Zhang, say hello to me."
Zhang Ziyi took the script and walked out of the hotel in a daze, feeling like he was in a dream.

Universal Pictures is releasing Crazy About Mary in February.
This is a romance film about two men pursuing a woman. The original version starred Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller and Matt Dillon.
But this version stars Jennifer Aniston, Ben Stiller and Hugh Jackman.
Hugh Jackman was originally an Australian stage actor and just came to Hollywood in the past two years. Although he is new here, he has already attracted the attention of the industry with his handsome face and tall figure.
"Crazy About Mary" is a humorous and hilarious romantic comedy. Jennifer Aniston has many years of experience starring in "Friends", so she is naturally comfortable starring in comedies.
Ben Stiller, on the other hand, has many years of experience working on "Saturday Night Live" and is equally comfortable starring in comedies. As a stage actor, Hugh Jackman has won many professional awards for "Sunset Boulevard" and is known as Australia's best stage actor.
Therefore, the acting skills of the three of them are absolutely perfect. Coupled with the romantic comedy theme, it is also the most popular among couples during the Valentine's Day period.
Therefore, in the end, "Crazy About Mary" took in a box office of US$170 million in North America alone, and a global box office of US$360 million.
Ben Stiller and Hugh Jackman both became famous with this movie. As for Jennifer Aniston, she became the top actress in Hollywood with this movie.
All three of them have gained a lot. As for Xiang Nan, he has gained hundreds of millions of dollars and is the biggest winner.
…
In March, Universal Pictures released Good Will Hunting, starring Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Robin Williams.
This movie has been shot a long time ago, but a suitable schedule was not found, so it has been delayed until now. It tells the story of the male protagonist Will, although he is a genius, but he is very rebellious and would rather be a cleaner than use his talents.
The mathematics professor, who felt sorry for his talent, found a psychologist for him and tried to provide him with psychological treatment. Under his guidance, the relationship between the two transformed from the initial confrontation into a mutually inspiring friendship...
This is a very touching and inspirational movie, the theme of which is very similar to "Dead Poets Society". Robin Williams once again plays the role of life coach.
After it was released, it achieved very good box office and reputation. In North America alone, it took in a box office of US$100 million, and the global box office reached US$230 million.
The cost of "Good Will Hunting" itself was less than 15 million US dollars, because when this movie was made, neither Matt Damon nor Ben Affleck were considered stars, so the salary was only tens of thousands. Only US dollars.
But it was such a small-budget movie that achieved such a huge success, which naturally made these two people shine.
And Xiang Nan was once again the envy of industry insiders because of his keen eye for identifying talents and investing US$15 million in exchange for a box office of US$230 million.
…
In March, the Academy Awards kick off.
Xiang Nan invited Zhang Ziyi to walk the red carpet with him.
After receiving the notice, Zhang Ziyi was stupid again. He quickly prepared his dress, passport, and air tickets, and rushed to Los Angeles in a hurry.
And on the day of the award ceremony, he walked on the red carpet with Xiang Nan.
It was the first time for Zhang Ziyi to attend such an important occasion and see those Hollywood celebrities all dazzling with jewels and jewels. Naturally, Zhang Ziyi felt a little ashamed of himself.
"Don't be nervous, just tell yourself that you are the most beautiful woman tonight." Xiang Nan smiled, "Besides, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Hollywood, and only you can accompany me on the red carpet. Isn't this opportunity enough for you to be proud of? ?”
After hearing what he said, Zhang Ziyi suddenly puffed up his chest like a proud rooster and walked proudly across the red carpet.
