Chapter 1761 1763 [Jiahe]

   "Ning Wei, you are too good." Cong Shan saw Xiang Nan make a move for the first time.

   In the blink of an eye, the four of them were knocked down together, but she didn't even react. Such a strong man really made her feel so secure.

   "It's normal." Xiang Nan said with a smile, because it was on Wangfujing Street, where people came and went, so he didn't dare to kill him. If it were No Man's Land, he could kill four people.

  It's so hateful, to actually moleste his woman, I really want to die!

   "I didn't expect the capital to be so chaotic, there are people playing hooligans in Wangfujing." Cong Shan said with some lingering fear.

   "Be careful when you go out in the future." Xiang Nan reminded.

   Cong Shan nodded.

   Someone had photographed her before, but after she sternly refused, they stopped harassing her.

   Unlike today's hooligans, they molested women in broad daylight. It's really disgusting. If Xiang Nan wasn't there, she might be in danger today, and even thinking about it made her terrified.

   "Okay, don't think too much, I'll treat you to boiled mutton." Seeing this, Xiang Nan comforted him with a smile.

   Cong Shan nodded upon hearing this.

  …

  After the Lantern Festival, Xiang Nan took the admission notice and went to Yenching University to register.

   Reporting with him is also Zheng Tong from the same courtyard.

  He was also admitted to Yenching University, but in the Department of History.

   "Okay, Xiao Ningwei, I didn't expect that we became classmates." Zheng Tong smiled.

  Xiang Nan nodded with a smile, "Brother Zheng, you are amazing. I really admire you for being able to get such a high score after leaving school for so long."

   Hearing what he said, Zheng Tong was very proud.

  The educated youth who went to northern Shaanxi with him to join the queue numbered no less than a million. But after they went to the countryside, they basically stopped studying. For so many years, I haven't picked up the book.

  Unlike him, he never forgot to study, and read "Twenty-Four Histories" in the fields. In ten years, he has grown from a history novice to a senior historian.

  Relying on the accumulated knowledge, he successfully competed for a job in 1976 and became a middle school teacher. Hearing that the country resumed the college entrance examination, he and Jiang Biyun studied together, and were finally admitted with high scores.

  In comparison, most of those who jumped in line with him are still in northern Shaanxi, and they don’t know when they will come back.

  So he is very proud of his efforts.

  …

  After school started, Xiang Nan's performance made the teachers and classmates very satisfied.

   Xiang Nan reported that he was an English major at the School of Foreign Languages, Yenching University.

  He is proficient in English and has lived in the United States for more than 50 years, so he speaks authentic and fluent American English, which is more fluent than the professor.

   Therefore, this major is really not difficult for him. He came to college purely to get a diploma.

  But just two weeks into school, Xiang Nan is going to ask for leave.

  The reason is that "Drunken Master" starring him was once again a big hit, with a total box office of 6.7 million Hong Kong dollars. It is even higher than last year's box office champion, "Fat Qian Han" starring Xu Guanying, Wu Yaohan, and Zhao Yazhi.

   Moreover, it is by far the highest-grossing action martial arts movie in Xiangjiang. Even Bruce Lee, Ti Lung, David Jiang, and Wang Yi didn't have such good grades.

  Such an excellent record also made Xiang Nan the leading action superstar in the Xiangjiang film industry. All film companies saw his potential, so they came to the mainland one after another, hoping to invite him to make a film.

   Among them is He Guanchang, the second boss of Golden Harvest.

  After the death of Bruce Lee, Golden Harvest has the Xu brothers to join in, leading the way in the field of comedy films. But in the field of action movies, there is still a lack of a box office superstar.

   And Xiang Nan's sudden birth, to Jiahe, is tantamount to joy from heaven.

  Xiang Nan can play, act, and edit, just like Bruce Lee, he is an all-rounder. Moreover, the box office appeal is extremely strong, and the two films have achieved good box office.

  In particular, "Drunken Master" broke the box office record of an action movie, which shows that Xiang Nan's qualifications are not shallow.

  So if Golden Harvest signs him, it will be able to make up for the shortcomings. He will have the upper hand in the two major blockbuster fields of comedy and action movies, so he will not be afraid of being suppressed by Shaw Brothers.

  …

   "Mr. Ning, as long as you sign a contract with us, this check will be yours." He Guanchang smiled and handed over a check.

  Xiang Nan glanced at it, and saw that it was a total of five million Hong Kong dollars. He couldn't help admiring Golden Harvest's generosity.

   You know, he only received 40,000 Hong Kong dollars in salary for two films, "Serpentine Hand" and "Drunken Master". Counting the bonus, it was only 90,000.

   Golden Harvest paid 5 million yuan, enough to hire him to make 250 movies. Five films are filmed a year, all of which have to be filmed until his death.

   But having said that, he is now a star, and his salary must have increased. A few days ago, a company called First Film Agency invited him to make a movie, and the salary has already reached 400,000 yuan.

  So five million Hong Kong dollars may seem like a lot, but it is only the pay for ten movies. And he believed that Golden Harvest allowed him to make only ten films.

   "Mr. He, please tell me what the content of the contract is first, and then let's talk about money." Xiang Nan laughed.

  As soon as He Guanchang heard it, he knew that Xiang Nan was not of Yi Yu's generation.

  Ordinary people, let alone earning 5 million, even 500,000, may not earn it in their entire life. So when they saw the money, it was difficult for them to keep calm, and they would be considered determined if they didn't withdraw it.

  It’s like when they invited the kung fu superstar Wang Yi to film a movie, they only paid 500,000 Hong Kong dollars to let Wang Yi betray Shaw Brothers and resolutely join Golden Harvest.

  Xiang Nan's net worth is not as good as Wang Yi's, but when he saw five million Hong Kong dollars, he was still sober and calm.

  He Guanchang then stated his conditions.

  Xiang Nan signed a long-term contract with Golden Harvest for a period of ten years. During this period, any movie Xiang Nan made was arranged by Golden Harvest, and Golden Harvest paid 80% of the market price for each movie.

  Xiang Nan nodded.

   Golden Harvest is worthy of being a big company, and he is also worthy of being a red star. Therefore, the contract offered by Golden Harvest was much better than Zhu Mu's Dadi Films.

  However, no matter how good it is, there is a limit. After all, a ten-year contract is really a long time. You know, the golden period of an artist is only about ten years. Like Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Zhou Runfa, etc., from the age of twenty to sixty, there are only a handful of them.

   Therefore, if you sign such a long-term contract with Jiahe, you may be wiped out. When it is exhausted and has no use value, it will be thrown out like garbage.

   But having said that, if this contract is not signed, then Golden Harvest will not pile resources on him, and it will be difficult for him to maintain his superstar status.

   After all, if an artist wants to become a superstar, resources are essential. How many artists who are originally very powerful, because they have no capital to support them, their fame and income are much lower than those of artists who are not powerful.

   And Golden Harvest is one of the two giants in the Xiangjiang film industry today. Except for Shaw Brothers, it is difficult for other film companies to compete with it. And Shaw's is a bigger hole than Jiahe, so comparing the two, Jiahe is actually not bad.
