Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 1420 1423 [Tao is different]

  The people listed by Feng Xiaogang are all big names.

  Wang Yi needless to say, in the 1980s and 1990s, he was the most popular writer in the mainland; Su Tong, Hai Zhi, and Liu Zhenyun were a little less, and they were also the best in the literary world.

Su Tong's "Wives and Concubines" was once adapted by Zhang Yimou as "Raise the Red Lantern"; Hai Zhi's "Never Close Your Eyes", "A Romance", "What Can I Take to Save You, My Lover", etc. , were also famous for a while; Liu Zhenyun's "Chicken Feather", "My Name is Liu Yuejin", "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", etc., have also been adapted into film and television dramas.

  Zheng Xiaolong is a leader that cannot be ignored in the mainland TV industry, and has created many firsts. For example, the first full-length TV series "Four Generations Under One Roof", the first indoor feature-length drama "Longing", the first TV series "Story of the Editorial Department", the first TV series "Yanjing People Are in the World" filmed entirely abroad New York"…

  In addition, his masterpieces also include "Golden Wedding", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Red Sorghum", "Youth Bao Qingtian", and so on. It can be said that he is a pivotal figure in the mainland entertainment industry.

  But Xiang Nan knew that Feng Xiaogang was pulling a big banner as a tiger skin. He may know and deal with these people, but it is absolutely impossible for them to be ferromagnetic.

  Because he is now a member of the crew, and those people are all much higher status than him. Moreover, most of those people were born in the big courtyard, and their eyes had always been on the top of their heads, so how could they call him brothers and sisters? They were just like Xiang Nan, taking him for fun.

  …

   "They were all raised by me, and grew up together." Feng Xiaogang said with a shy face, he is actually half of the family.

  His father was also a soldier back then, and he lived in the compound of Xi’an Jiaotong Party School earlier. Later, after his parents divorced, he and his mother moved to an alley in Xicheng District.

  So seriously, he is actually a kid who grew up in Hutong, but he was born with a yearning for the compound.

  After all, at that time, the children in the big courtyard were better than the children in the Hutong regardless of their living conditions, political status, mental outlook, or future prospects.

  For example, serving in the army in the 1960s and 1970s was the most fashionable thing. It is basically a matter of one sentence for the children of the big courtyard to become soldiers. But it is very difficult for Hutong children to become soldiers.

   After graduating from middle school, Cheng Jianjun and Han Chunming both wanted to serve in the army, but they had already been robbed of their places, so they had to go to the countryside in the end.

  Xiang Nan didn't expose Feng Xiaogang's lies, but he didn't have much interest in being friends with Wang Yi, Hai Zhi, Ma Weidu, Zheng Xiaolong and others.

  Because most of those people were born in the big courtyard. The same background, the same knowledge, and the same thinking have long tied them together and formed an interest group.

  If Xiang Nan is a young writer like Su Tong and Liu Zhenyun, he has no background, no backing, and his career has just started.

  But the key point is that Xiang Nan himself is a big tree, and his influence is not less than that of Wang Yi, Hai Zhi, Ma Weidu, and Zheng Xiaolong. So if he wants to go there, he must not be the younger brother, but only the boss, and the key people are not happy.

   Therefore, they can be allies at most, and they may even be opponents, but they can never be friends.

   "Forget it, we're not from the same group, we don't agree with each other, we don't agree with each other. I will disappear with them, and we will talk about it when we have a chance to cooperate in the future." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

   Hearing what he said, Feng Xiaogang could only nod his head.

  …

  After the crew of "Triumph in Midnight" returned to Beijing, Xiang Nan was not in a hurry to contact Zhu Lin. He was waiting for an opportunity, the most worthwhile opportunity.

  While waiting for the opportunity, "Dream of Red Mansions" was officially completed in February and is expected to be officially broadcast during the summer vacation. This is a good thing for Xiang Nan. After all, this TV series was originally written by him.

  At the end of January, Xiang Nan completed the translation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which was published by Random House.

  After the review, Random House found no problems, and thought the book was very imaginative, the writing style was also very interesting, and had certain market prospects, so they first printed 10,000 copies and tried to distribute it.

  Xiang Nan also received nearly 100,000 US dollars in remuneration, mainly from the remuneration for the English version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". As for the royalties, it was only a measly ten thousand dollars.

  After the news spread, many people were secretly delighted.

  Since ancient times, there has been no first in prose, and no second in martial arts. From 1976 to now, Xiang Nan has been popular for almost ten years, and he has always been aloof, who can not be jealous.

   Now that he has finally stumbled, some people are naturally happy, and some are secretly delighted.

   "You can only make a lot of money by printing 10,000 copies. If you knew it earlier, it would be better to take the one million copies."

   "I thought he could disdain the United States, but in the end, only 10,000 copies were printed, which is the level of a new author."

   "I said earlier that he is not good. He has never even been out of the country, so he knows what foreigners like? Is it completely behind closed doors?"

   Some people said sour one after another, they are all those who say sour when they can't eat grapes.

  Xiang Nan didn't care about this, because gold always shines. He believes that as long as it is a good book, it is impossible to be ignored.

  It’s like a novel website decades later, with millions of novels. But who looks good and who doesn't, you can't hide it from anyone.

  Take a step back and say that even if the novel is not popular, it will not be a big loss to him. One million dollars may be an astronomical figure for others.

   To Xiang Nan, it is just a floating cloud. He has earned tens of billions, is he short of this money?

  …

   Entering February, "Triumph at Midnight" was officially broadcast on CCTV.

   Once it was aired, it caused a sensation and received extremely high ratings.

  Romantic love stories, magnificent battle scenes, noble revolutionary friendship... This drama is deeply touching, and countless audiences are fascinated by it, and the popularity of actors such as Zhu Lin and Shi Zhaoqi has also increased sharply.

  As the author and screenwriter of the original novel, Xiang Nan naturally benefited a lot. Not only did the original novel "Triumph in the Midnight" sell well again, but his influence in the film and television industry also soared.

  Because of this, when it was heard that his other script "Longing" was being prepared for filming, many actors rushed to sign up, hoping to take part in the role.

   After all, Shi Zhaoqi and Zhu Lin are role models. Both of them became so popular all over the country because of their roles in "Triumph in Midnight". Who can not envy them. Just like in the 1990s, when Haizhu dramas became popular, so many people rushed to be in his dramas.

  Xiang Nan saw that the waiting time had finally come.

  So as the screenwriter, he immediately recommended Zhu Lin to the crew as the lead actor.

  The reason he gave was that when he first wrote the heroine, he wrote it according to Zhu Lin's appearance, so this role must be played by her.

  After consideration, the leader of the art center also felt that Zhu Lin was more suitable to play the role, so he agreed to Xiang Nan's request.
