Chapter 1771 1773 [Assault Training]

  Xiang Nan seized the time to shoot "Master Dragon".

  He was delayed by ten days this time. If he didn't catch up with work, he wouldn't be able to catch up with the schedule.

  Because he was in a rush to film, Xiang Nan didn't go to see Miao Kexiu recently.

  This actually made her worry about gains and losses, and began to worry whether Xiang Nan didn't like her, so she changed her target.

   After all, for a celebrity like him, picking up girls is really too easy.

  He doesn't chase others, others will chase him because of his charm, his fame, and his wealth. Compared with those young and beautiful girls, she has no advantage.

  …

  In January 1980, Xiang Nan went back to Peking University and took the final exam.

  I also took the time to meet with Cong Shan and brought her some gadgets, such as Sony's new Walkman, sunglasses and flared pants.

  Cong Shan was amazed to see such pleasant music coming from the small Walkman machine.

  She had only seen large tape recorders before, bigger than two bricks stacked together. It's not fun to carry it in your hand, but it's fun to carry it on your shoulders and swagger through the market.

  She looked quite envious at the time. But now, compared with the thin and compact Walkman in her hand, those tape recorders are too bulky and bulky.

  Sunglasses and flared pants are also the most popular outfits now. Wearing them will make you the most beautiful boy on the street. In order to show that their sunglasses are imported, some people are even reluctant to tear off the trademark on the lens.

  So every gift Xiang Nan gave was so sweet, so she naturally liked it very much.

   "In another month, the art test will be held. Are you okay?" Xiang Nan asked with concern.

   "There should be no problem, but I'm still a little worried." Cong Shan nodded and said.

   "Don't be too nervous, it doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam." Xiang Nan comforted her, "I can take you to Xiangjiang, and I will definitely let you have a movie."

  Hearing what he said, Cong Shan nodded, feeling much more at ease.

  …

  At the end of January, "Master Dragon" was finally finished after four months of hard filming.

   After finishing, Xiang Nan also breathed a sigh of relief.

   In the past few months, he has been rushing and rushing, filming for more than thirteen hours a day. If he is not young and strong, and has time to spare, he will probably be exhausted.

  After the drama ended, he had to rest for a while.

  But before the break, he still arranged for Lin Zhengying, Ren Shiguan and others to play "Man Scares Ghosts".

  Different from earning millions of dollars for one movie, Lin Zhengying, Ren Shiguan and other supporting actors only earn 50,000 to 60,000 Hong Kong dollars for a movie. For those stand-ins or secondary martial artists, it is not bad to get 20,000 yuan for a movie.

  If they only made two or three movies a year like Xiang Nan, they would have starved to death long ago. If Xiang Nan doesn't start a new show for them, they can only go outside.

  In that case, the newly established Ningjiaban will also be disbanded. Therefore, Xiang Nan had to keep playing, so as to attract this group of talents.

  This is also the reason why Sammo Hung opened three companies in a row, Kai Baohe, Kai Debao, and Kai Baoxiang, and had to shoot more than a dozen movies a year. If you really don't film, you won't be able to support those brothers.

   "Man Scares Ghosts" is a magical kung fu film released by Golden Harvest in 1984. After its release, it earned less than seven million at the box office, which is not bad.

   This movie was originally intended to be played by Jackie Chan, but now that he is recalled by Luo Wei, he can only give the opportunity to others.

  Xiang Nan then invited Yuan Biao to play the leading role, which could be regarded as compensation for stealing his famous work "The Prodigal Boy".

  Yuan Biao has already made films such as "The Miscellaneous Boy", "Lin Shirong", "Death Fighting Single Sword and Killing Gun", but they are not yet popular. Because there are still very few movies starring him, and the box office is not high.

  The box office of "Miscellaneous Boys" is less than three million, less than half of Jackie Chan's "Scary People". So Xiang Nan paid him 150,000 yuan.

  Even so, Yuan Biao was very happy. He and Sammo Hung starred in "Miscellaneous Boys", and the film salary was only HK$100,000. One hundred and fifty thousand is very fair.

  …

  After "Scary People" started, Xiang Nan returned to the mainland, preparing to celebrate the New Year with his family.

  At this time, Cong Shan has also started to take the art test, and has successively signed up for the admissions of Beijing Film and Chinese Opera.

  Xiang Nan went back this time, just in time to tutor her.

   You know, he also took the art test back then, and he has extremely rich acting experience, so he is definitely qualified to guide Cong Shan.

   "Hey, this dance needs to be done like this, yes, the neck needs to be lifted up, the arms need to be straight..."

   "The place where the words are pronounced is here, not here. If you only rely on your voice to pronounce it, you will be dumb in an hour."

  “You must know how to adapt to the situation and don’t stick to the routines in the book. If you want to stand out, you must have your own style.”

  Xiang Nan took Cong Shan to study every day and gave her ten days of surprise training.

  He has both acting experience and teaching skills. Under his guidance, Cong Shan really learned a lot. Moreover, she is also very talented herself. In her debut work "The Wrangler", she showed extraordinary acting skills.

   Therefore, her abilities improved very quickly.

   In mid-February, Cong Shan successively took part in the admission examinations of China Opera and Beijing Film Academy, and was unanimously affirmed by the admissions teachers with her outstanding performance.

  In the end, her professional results ranked first among thousands of candidates, which can be said to be quite impressive. As long as she passes the culture test again, Cong Shan can enter China Opera and Beijing Film Academy.

   Based on her usual academic performance, culture classes must be fine. After all, she has been in high school for three years, and she has been awarded the top three students every year. So entering Chinese opera is almost certain.

  …

   "Ning Wei, thank you, without your guidance, I would not have achieved such good results." Cong Shan said gratefully.

  Xiang Nan smiled, and he did his part.

   In the 1980s, the art test was still a new vocabulary. The vast majority of candidates are only interested in acting, so they apply for China Opera and Beijing Film Academy.

  However, I know almost nothing about the test process, test content, test-taking skills, etc. After all, this is not as developed as the information of later generations, and there are so many training institutions.

   Therefore, many candidates are in a state of confusion when they arrive in the examination room, and they may not be able to exert 50% of their power if they succeed.

  In comparison, Cong Shan has his own suggestions, and is quite familiar with the exam process, exam content, and exam-taking skills.

  Plus she has no psychological burden, and even if she fails the test, she will have Xiang Nan to back her up, so she is very successful, even able to perform 120% of her performance, and it is naturally easy to get high scores with extraordinary performance.

   "I've helped you so much, is it just a thank you?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.

   Cong Shan was taken aback for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Then how do you want me to thank you?"

  Xiang Nan smirked twice, and hugged her into his arms, "You are also a prospective college student now. You can do some adult things."

  When Cong Shan heard this, she blushed immediately, but she didn't push Xiang Nan away.

  The two of them have been together since 1977, and it has been three years now. In the past three years, although she got together less and separated more, her love for Xiang Nan continued unabated.

  In her heart, she had already regarded him as the love of her life. Not to mention giving herself to him, she was willing to die for him.
