  The box office of the two works is so high, which makes Xiang Nan more and more popular in Hollywood, and because of this, his scripts are hard to come by. Some film companies even don’t hesitate to invest tens of millions of dollars, just want to buy one of Xiang Nan’s scripts.

  Xiang Nan was also unambiguous, and directly came up with many scripts such as "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Kung Fu Panda", "National Treasure", "Night at the Museum", "Twilight".

   Entering 2003, "Buyi Zhixian Fanruhua", directed and acted by Zhang Guoli, was launched first.

This TV series is starring Zhang Guoli, Deng Jie, He Bing, Liu Zi, etc. It is the same as "Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" and "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview". way.

  This kind of drama will never lack audiences, so the ratings are very good.

  Subsequently, "Jade Broken" directed by Kong Sheng was broadcast. This TV series tells the story of the period of the Republic of China, the antique merchant Zhao Rugui racked his brains to protect the national treasure Wangtianyu.

   This drama is starring Wang Zhiwen, Jiang Wenli, Xin Boqing, etc. It is a rare Republic of China drama, so it is also very popular.

  The following "Hitch the Wrong Car" was directed by Gao Xixi, and "This Life Owes You a Hug" was directed by Kang Honglei. They were both ethical dramas, and they were very touching. They really drew tears from many viewers. It also made the leading actors Li Xuejian, Zeng Lai, Yu Hewei, Zhu Lin, Fu Dalong, Jiang Qinqin, etc. popular again.

  The subsequent broadcast of "Xia Ke Xing", the ratings are not bad. Ling Xiaosu is handsome, good and evil, and has solid acting skills. He plays the twins Shi Potian and Shi Zhongyu with completely opposite personalities.

  The novel "Conspiracy" was written by Xiang Nan in the 1980s. After it was released, it was very popular, and the sensation was no less than the manuscript "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes" back then.

   Because of this, this novel has a huge audience, and now it has been adapted into a TV series, and naturally a large group of book fans follow it.

   This drama is starring Zu Feng, Yu Na, Su Jin and others.

   Zu Feng’s acting skills needless to say, Li Ya in "Latent", Zhao Shijie in "Cheongsam", Cui Zhongshi in "All Quiet in Peking", Teacher Bai in "Mountain and Sea Love"... almost act like what they are.

  Su Jin acted in "Never Close My Eyes" before, which was a sensation and can be regarded as a national goddess. After that, he acted in "Plum Blossom File", "New Year's Eve", "The Granary of the World", "Tsing Yi" and so on, and his popularity has always remained high.

   As for that, in 1999, it became popular with "What Can I Save You, My Lover" directed by Zhao Baogang. After that, he participated in "The Appearance of Men and Women", "The Years of Burning Passion 2", "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan 2", "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview 3" and so on. They are not considered big hits, but they are also well-known, and The acting skills have also been greatly improved.

   Unlike when filming "What Can I Take to Save You, My Lover", I basically had no acting skills and relied entirely on the director's adjustment and my own talent.

   Now, this "Conspiracy" has become popular, and it has also raised the reputation of several leading actors to a higher level.

  …

  After "Conspiracy", starring Lu Yi, Che Yun, and Huang Shengyi, the Republic of China romantic drama "Golden Fan Family" directed by Zhao Baogang was officially launched.

   This TV series is adapted from the original work of the same name by Zhang Henshui, a well-known novelist in the Republic of China. When this novel was published, it was expensive in Luoyang, and I don't know how many readers it has fascinated.

  The charm of classics is endless. This novel, which was born in the last century, is now adapted into a TV series, and it still moves today's audience to tears.

In particular, the love tragedy between Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu is even more emotional, and because of this, it has gained a very high ratings. This has also made Che Yun and Huang Shengyi become well-known in the mainland from their original innocence. superstar.

   Especially Che Yun, her appearance is not amazing, but her temperament is very fresh and pure, as elegant and pure as a lily, and she has gained a lot of fans because of this.

  …

   In 2003, Kylin Films achieved such brilliant achievements, which also allowed it to sit more firmly in the top spot in the mainland entertainment industry.

  The development of Kunpeng Real Estate is also rapid.

  In 2003, the site selection for the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube was completed, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held.

  It is exactly as Xiang Nan expected, the address of the bird's nest is still in the original location. And Xiang Nan bought the surrounding land early, so now that the construction of the Bird's Nest and Water Cube started, the price of the land in his hand suddenly skyrocketed, driving Han Chunming almost crazy with joy.

  In addition to the skyrocketing land prices, in the future these lands will be covered with buildings, and the selling price will also be higher. In particular, Xiang Nan plans to build a few commercial buildings, which will be rented out to make money, and the rent will be several percent higher than other places.

   After the news was disclosed, the stock price of Kunpeng Real Estate climbed again, and its market value rose to 60 billion, ranking first among private real estate companies in the mainland.

  …

  In February 2003, Zhang Yimou took "Hero" to the Berlin Film Festival, nominated for the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture, and finally won the Alfred Bauer Award.

   But this is just an appetizer.

  In March, the Academy Awards were officially held, and Zhang Yimou led a team to go there in person.

  His film has already won the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the Golden Globe Awards. The Golden Globe Awards have always been regarded as the weathervane of the Oscars, and there are many overlapping awards in the two award ceremonies.

   Therefore, "Hero" is very likely to win the award, so Zhang Yimou took advantage of it. But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a disappointment in the end.

  Because the final version of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film was awarded to Germany's "Nowhere From Home", "Hero" had no choice but to fail.

  This made Zhang Yimou very unhappy. After returning to China, he was reluctant to come out for a long time.

  After Xiang Nan found out, he specially invited him to dinner and enlightened him by the way.

"Director Zhang, don't take Oscar so seriously. Since "Shakespeare in Love" won the best picture award in 1999, you should know what kind of virtue it is." He said Smiling and persuaded, "For such an award, it's really worth it to make yourself angry?"

   "But I'm just not reconciled." Zhang Yimou sighed, "I really put my heart into making the movie "Heroes."

"I know, but with all due respect, if our films are exhibited in other people's exhibitions, whether we can win awards depends not on our strength, but on their preferences." Xiang Nan persuaded, "If you catch their eyes, then Ugly movies win awards. It’s useless to be well-made if they don’t catch their eye.”
