Chapter 1434 1436 [Agreement reached]

  …

   "Professor Cheng, you are the only one who can help me this time." Feng Xiaogang said with a shy face, "Brother, I just became a director, and you don't want me to return to my original form after just one play, so I can go back to being a screenwriter."

   "Okay, don't be so pitiful." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "How many movies can be popular in a year, and there are so many directors who are vegetarians, so what are you afraid of?"

   "The key point is who doesn't want to climb up. I don't want to be promoted to director, so I'll just wait for death." Feng Xiaogang laughed.

  Xiang Nan nodded, admiring his aggressiveness.

  In fact, without such dedication, Feng Xiaogang would not have grown from an art assistant to a top director in the country.

  How many people are willing to be mediocre all their lives because of lack of professionalism.

   "Okay, I've prepared the script for you, take it." Xiang Nan smiled and gave him a script.

  Feng Xiao just took a look at it, and was taken aback for a moment, and saw eight large characters written on the cover—"A Romantic Affair".

  He then flipped through it, only to realize that he was wrong.

  This is not a romantic drama as he thought, but a police drama cloaked in a love cloak, or the other way around, a love drama cloaked in a police drama.

   I have to say that Xiang Nan's script is so well written, he just flipped through a few pages, and then he couldn't bear to let it go, he just wanted to finish it. Really good.

   "Professor Cheng, how can I thank you." He said excitedly, with such a good script, he felt that his future was secure.

   "You're welcome, friends should help each other, right?" Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Yes, yes." Feng Xiaogang nodded immediately, "If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me."

   "Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, as long as he has this sentence.

  …

   After Feng Xiaogang got the script, he went back and reported to the leader.

   After the script passed the review, he then began preparations for "A Romantic Affair".

  Because this drama is a police and gangster love drama, compared with the police and gangster detective elements, the love element is more important. For a romantic drama, there must be handsome men and beautiful women.

  Especially the heroine is the top priority, so Feng Xiaogang attaches great importance to it, determined to choose the most beautiful actress to play. In the end, after several layers of screening, he chose Xu Qing, who is now a sophomore in Beijing Film Academy.

  When Xiang Nan saw his candidate, he couldn't help admiring his vision.

  Xu Qing is a generational goddess in the hearts of Chinese people, and she was very popular in the 1990s. "The Roots of the Imperial City", "Sunrise in the East and Rain in the West", and "Come and Go" were all hits.

  Even in the 21st century, Xu Qing is still one of the most attractive women in the entertainment industry. Starring "Old Cannon" and "Hidden Man" still have the charm of turning all living beings upside down.

   "Professor Cheng, you also think she is good?" Feng Xiaogang smiled.

   "Of course." Xiang Nan nodded.

   There is a saying that a man wants to marry Xu Qing, and a woman wants to scold Xu Qing. What men want can be found in Xu Qing; what women hate can also be found in Xu Qing.

   "As long as you like it." Feng Xiaogang nodded and smiled.

  …

  Afterwards, Xu Qing was brought to meet Xiang Nan by Feng Xiaogang, in the pretense of asking the author for advice, so as to better understand the characters.

  When Xiang Nan saw Xu Qing, he couldn't help admiring her beauty and temperament.

   It’s no wonder that in her forties, she is still highly respected. There are not many people in China who act as the heroine in blockbusters such as "Old Paoer" and "Hidden Man".

  Xu Qing was also very well-behaved after seeing Xiang Nan.

  Although her identity is not ordinary. Grandma and aunt are diplomats, mother is the head of the singing and dancing team of the General Political Department, and father is the chief's security guard. She grew up in the Diplomatic Campus and is Feng Xiaogang's dream child.

  But in front of Xiang Nan, there is no need to mention this identity and background. Not to mention Xiang Nan's own status in the academic world, but he has taught for many years, and he is everywhere in the capital.

  Especially Xiang Nan's influence in the film and television industry is unique.

  Every one of his scripts must be popular, and every one can cause a sensation. Many actors became popular through his works.

  For example, Zhu Lin, before that, the only character that could be remembered was the king of the Daughter Kingdom. But now her Liu Huifang, Ge Ling, and Jiang Man have all become classics.

  For example, Li Baotian was basically unknown before filming "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo". Now it is popular all over the country, who can not sing "there is a steelyard between heaven and earth".

  And anyone who enters the show business circle has a heart that wants to be popular. Xu Qing is no exception, so she is very close to Xiang Nan.

  Since Feng Xiaogang introduced Xiang Nan to her, she has come to ask Xiang Nan for advice almost every day. Shouting one professor at a time, one teacher at a time, it was hard for Xiang Nan not to like her.

  …

  In February 1990, during Valentine's Day, "Pretty Woman", written by Xiang Nan, officially landed in North American theaters.

  This movie has a humorous story, vivid plot, romance and warmth, so it is very suitable for the audience. After its release, it sold well at the box office.

  The North American box office is 180 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is 250 million US dollars. Compared with the cost of 14 million, it can be said to be another blockbuster.

  The box office hits of two consecutive works made Xiang Nan the hottest screenwriter in Hollywood, and also won him the favor of many film companies.

  In the past, there were some film companies who disliked Xiang Nan's asking price for "Jurassic Park" was too high, but now they all don't dislike it, and they all express their willingness to accept it, and even directly send people to Beijing to negotiate with Xiang Nan.

  Xiang Nan naturally did not miss this opportunity, he readjusted his request. Not only does it require a production cost of 60 million, and Steven Spielberg will direct it, but the heroine should also be played by a Chinese actor.

  In the past, when faced with this request, Hollywood would definitely not even talk about it, so it simply refused. But now, Xiang Nan has proved his strength, so the film company has to think carefully.

  So in the end, they all agreed to Xiang Nan's conditions. After careful consideration, Xiang Nan decided to cooperate with Warner Pictures again.

  On the one hand, Warner has the most sincerity for cooperation, and the vice president personally visited Xiang Nan;

  After reaching a cooperation agreement, Xiang Nan wondered who should star in "Jurassic Park". Originally, he was going to give up this opportunity to Gong Li.

   But in May, at the International Cannes Film Festival, "Raise the Red Lantern" won the Palme d'Or. After Gong Li also won the best actress nomination, she became a little self-willed with herself. It's not like before, it's called and it's gone.

  So Xiang Nan thought about it, or change someone else, just because he is also a little tired.

  As for Xu Qing in front of her eyes, she is young and beautiful, smart and clever, and very obedient, so it would be better to take advantage of her.

  However, Xiang Nan has not yet made a final decision on who to give it to. Anyway, he still has half a year to consider. Not urgent!
