Chapter 1765 1767【Break the box office record】

  Xiang Nan knew the past of Zhong Yuemin and Qin Ling, and knew that even if they met again, they would not be able to live together.

  Because Qin Ling lived too transparently. She is a woman who likes material things and enjoyment. She knows exactly what she needs and doesn't regret what she would give up.

  In the play, for this reason, she becomes the mansion of the rich businessman Ye Chuliang, enjoying the villa, luxury car and affluent life provided by him.

  But Zhong Yuemin seems to be living a chic life, taking it easy with the situation, having fun in the midst of suffering, and there is no problem that can overwhelm him. But in fact, from the beginning to the end, he didn't know what he wanted.

  He has been a stubborn boss, a farmer, a soldier, a peddler, a businessman, a catering worker, and finally went to Sicily to protect the Tibetan antelope... He has been struggling all his life without a fixed goal.

  He couldn't give Qin Ling the life he wanted, so although Qin Ling knew that he loved him, he finally chose Ye Chuliang, married him and went to the United States.

  …

   "Yangyang, you are not married, are you still thinking about Zhou Xiaobai?" Ning Yong then looked at Zhang Haiyang and said.

Zhang Haiyang's face turned red, and he said loudly, "Who misses her? I haven't seen her for many years. My buddy is busy working now, and I don't have time to think about those children. You wait until I am promoted to the chief of staff." Yes, my buddies will definitely bring you a sister-in-law back when the time comes."

  Everyone laughed when they heard this.

   "Come on, your thoughts, we buddies, who doesn't understand?" Ning Yong smiled, "Your boy has liked Zhou Xiaobai since middle school, but unfortunately he has never dared to confess.

   How many years has it been? Zhou Xiaobai is about to get married. What are you waiting for? In my opinion, either talk to her, or let her go. You are so hesitant and procrastinating, when will you be the leader. "

"I think so. Haiyang, go ahead." Yuan Jun smiled, "Zhou Xiaobai is not bad, she is pretty, and she is also a military doctor. Her father is also a lieutenant general. If you marry her, you are afraid that you will not be promoted to chief of staff in the future? "

   "Go, my brother depends on himself for promotion, what kind of man depends on his father-in-law." Zhang Haiyang spat, "You still worry about me, you should worry about yourself first, you are only a few months younger than me."

   Hearing what he said, everyone laughed.

  Xiang Nan felt that Zhang Haiyang and Zhou Xiaobai were quite a good match.

  Both of them are more down-to-earth, more traditional type of people, more suitable for living together. But having said that, it still depends on whether they are destined for each other.

  In the play, Zhang Haiyang and Zhou Xiaobai are married, but in the book, Yuan Jun and Zhou Xiaobai are married. Zhang Haiyang finally married a young policewoman, which is also a good choice.

  …

  Ning Yong's wedding gave Xiang Nan a rare opportunity to meet his old friends.

  In addition to Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang, and Yuan Jun, he also heard news from many friends.

  For example, Li Yuanchao has been demobilized and joined a state-owned company in Beijing as a manager.

   This surprised a lot of people. Because Li Yuanchao was already a battalion commander at that time, it is not impossible to climb to the commander of the military region with his speed in his lifetime.

  But he actually chose to be demobilized and start a business, which made many people not understand.

  Only Xiang Nan knew that Li Yuanchao was an exquisite egoist from beginning to end. He joined the army not because he wanted to defend his family and country, but at that time, joining the army was the best choice for him.

   Now reform and opening up, economy first. After his recovery, he started business and was able to seize the opportunity to embezzle state-owned assets.

  In the play, he transferred the company's assets abroad, and then went abroad to become a rich man. Living in a multi-million dollar mansion, driving a luxury car like Rolls Royce, and setting up a company in the Empire State Building in New York... It shows how much money he made.

  …

   After returning to China, apart from attending his brother's wedding, Xiang Nan also found time to visit Cong Shan and brought her an electronic watch.

   Actually, this thing is not worth much. But for people in the 1970s, this was quite fashionable, and it made Cong Shan very happy.

   After visiting Cong Shan, Xiang Nan hurried back to Xiangjiang to continue filming "The Prodigal Boy".

  From September to January of 1979, "The Prodigal Boy" was finally completed after half a year of shooting. Xiang Nan also returned to the capital again to take the final exam for the new semester.

  By the way, I also gave Cong Shan a big red down jacket, which guaranteed to make her the most beautiful girl in Forty-Nine City in winter. Such a beautiful and thoughtful gift naturally made Cong Shan love him even more.

  After the exam, Xiang Nan returned to Xiangjiang before he could celebrate the New Year at home to promote the release of "The Prodigal Boy". It can be said that he was so busy that he couldn't take his time, and it was difficult for him to catch his breath.

  In February, just after the Spring Festival, "The Prodigal Boy" was officially released.

   And it did, unsurprisingly, very well at the box office. In two days of release, the box office has exceeded one million; in five days of release, the box office has exceeded two million; in seven days of release, the box office has exceeded three million...

  In the end, the movie grossed 8.75 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, breaking the box office record set by the Xu Brothers with "Half a Catty."

  The success of this movie has also brought Xiang Nan's reputation and status in the Xiangjiang film industry to a new level. I dare not say that I am the only one, at least I am superior to others.

  …

   Seeing this, Zhu Mu also hurriedly found a script and asked Xiang Nan to shoot it.

  He and Xiang Nan still have three film appointments, don't hurry up and shoot them while Xiang Nan is on fire right now. After another two years, it will be useless.

  Xiang Nan saw the script he brought—"The Bewitching Trick of the Ghost Horse Boy". Just by looking at the name, one can tell that Zhu Mu is just trying to catch the heat. Not only do they need to catch the popularity of his kung fu movies, but also the popularity of the Xu Brothers ghost horse comedy movies.

  But the name belongs to the name, and the story of the script is quite old-fashioned. It is a story of a young man who is doing nothing, and after being humiliated, he practiced martial arts and took revenge.

  A movie like this, even if it can rely on its name and Xiang Nan's fame to lure the audience into the theater, earn some box office. In the next day, everyone knew that it was a cover-up.

  However, Xiang Nan didn't take the time to re-adjust the script for him. After all, his salary is only 20,000 yuan, so it's really not worth worrying about him.

   Moreover, with his current fame, even if he makes a bad movie, it won't affect his status.

   Just like when Jackie Chan became famous, there were also failed works such as "Dragon Fist", "Eight Steps of Snake and Crane", and "One and a Half Moves into the Jianghu", but they still did not damage his name as a kung fu superstar.

  So Xiang Nan didn't hesitate, and immediately joined the crew, ready to hurry up and finish the filming, hurry up and get the job done.

   Unexpectedly, after joining the crew, he found out that the heroine was actually Miao Kexiu, which made his eyes shine.
