Chapter 1800 1802【Best partner】

  Xiang Nan stayed at the Shandan Racecourse for three days, so he considered it a trip.

  When filming, he sat and watched, learning some directing skills from Director Xie Jin.

  After work was over, he and Cong Shan rode horses on the grassland.

   "Ning Wei, I didn't expect you to ride a horse so well." Seeing Xiang Nan sitting so firmly on the horse and riding so fast, Cong Shan was very surprised.

   She specially learned riding skills from local herdsmen for the filming of "The Wrangler". In order to learn riding skills, she didn't know how many times she fell and suffered so much.

   But she didn't expect Xiang Nan to be able to ride a horse as soon as he arrived, and she was surprised by how well he rode.

   "I was born in martial arts, and I have practiced the horse stance since I was a child. The horse stance is to make a horse." Xiang Nan explained with a smile.

   But in fact, the reason why he can ride a horse is learned in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng". In ancient times, there were no cars, and the only way to travel far was to ride a horse.

  Xiang Nangui is the leader of Taoism, he is deeply favored by Jiajing, and he rewards many BMW horses. Therefore, Xiang Nan's riding skills are also very good, it is no exaggeration to say that it is better than that of the circus.

   After playing in Shandan for three days, Xiang Nan left.

  He is now the boss of Real Kung Fu Films, and he is related to the food and clothing of hundreds of people, so he can't be too willful.

  Cong Shan also had to part with Xiang Nan.

"When this movie is finished, when you go back to school, remember to be careful of your classmates." Before parting, Xiang Nan reminded, "Don't be too honest with others, you must know how to win and fight, and don't let yourself be too serious." passive."

   Cong Shan nodded.

  …

  Xiang Nan returned to the capital from Shandan, and then returned to Xiangjiang by plane.

  When I returned to Xiangjiang, it happened that Wang Jing's "Eight Generals of a Thousand Gates" was being released.

   This movie tells the story of the son of the general of Qianmen avenging his father and gathering eight generals of Qianmen to fight against the gambling demon together.

   Among them, there are gambling skills, thousands of tricks, beauty tricks, and tricks. The story is wonderful and the plot is twists and turns, so it is very popular after it is released.

   It has been released for two weeks now, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 4 million Hong Kong dollars. Compared with his investment of 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, it can be said that he has made a lot of money.

  Xiang Nan felt that Wang Jing is really a rare talent. This year alone, he earned at least 10 million Hong Kong dollars. And this is 10 million in 1981, which is even higher than the one billion in the new century.

In addition, several leading actors in "A Thousand Men and Eight Generals", such as Chow Yun-fat, Zhong Chuhong, Dong Wei, Hui Tianci, Zhong Fa, Lin Zhengying, etc., have also increased their popularity and popularity because of the big sales of this movie. .

   Especially Chow Yun-fat, because he has starred in blockbuster films such as "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", "Flower Heart", "A Thousand Men and Eight Generals", has completely washed away his bad reputation as a box office poison.

   On the contrary, the reputation of box office elixir has been crowned on his head, making him the best for a while.

Because of these three films, as well as the more popular "Police Story", Zhong Chuhong has successfully become one of the most well-known actresses in Xiangjiang from a newcomer in the film industry. It's going to be red.

  …

   "Director Wang, this is a bonus of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars for you." Xiang Nan smiled and handed a stack of banknotes to Wang Jingdao.

   "How embarrassing is this, Mr. Ning, I have already received the salary." Wang Jing said quickly.

   "Accept, accept." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "You helped me earn so much money, this is the reward you deserve."

   "Thank you, thank you." Wang Jing said gratefully.

  It's really cool to have a boss who is willing to tip employees and doesn't eat alone.

   "You don't need to thank me, I also want to thank you for helping me make money." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "How about the next movie, have you considered it?"

   "I have a few ideas, Mr. Ning help me choose one more?" Wang Jing said immediately after hearing this.

  Xiang Nan helped him select several projects, all of which made money, which fully demonstrated Xiang Nan's precise vision. And working with such a visionary boss is really great.

   You know, not every boss has vision.

  For example, Xu Guanwen approached Sir Shao with the script of "Ghost Horse Twin Stars", hoping to co-produce with him, and the box office is half of the box office. Sir Shao felt that Xu Guanwen was so bold and whimsical that he dared to be equal to him, so he kicked him out.

   As a result, Golden Harvest's Zou Wenhuai fell in love with Xu Guanwen's talent, and resolutely supported him to establish Xu's Film Industry, and cast "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars". As a result, Xu Guanwen actually broke Bruce Lee's box office record and became the number one comedian in Hong Kong.

   After losing Bruce Lee, Golden Harvest found the box office pillar again and gained a firm foothold again. This shows how important the boss's vision is.

   "No hurry, I have a movie, I hope you can help me make it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

   "Cooperate with you?! Okay." Wang Jing nodded immediately after hearing this.

Xiang Nan is considered to be the number one movie superstar in Hong Kong. The "Police Story" released a year ago sold more than 20 million box office, and "Cannonball Run" in the middle of the year also won more than 9 million box office, which fully demonstrates his box office appeal.

   Because of this, cooperating with him is really easy to get a high box office. If he can make a movie with a box office of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, then he will be the first commercial director in Hong Kong.

   At that time, not to mention how famous it will be, the salary will be more than 100,000 yuan, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

   "Then what kind of movie do you want to make?" Wang Jing asked curiously.

   "Action movie, it must still be an action movie." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "But it is different from "Police Story". This time it is an action comedy. I am in charge of the action, and you are in charge of the comedy."

   "Okay." Wang Jing responded immediately.

  …

  Xiang Nan then handed over the script to Wang Jing.

  Wang Jing took it and looked carefully.

  After reading it, he was a little in awe of Xiang Nan.

   "Mr. Ning, your "Best Partner" is really well written." He complimented with a smile.

  This movie not only has great scenes, but also has sufficient comedy effects. He thinks he can't lose to the script he wrote.

   "Know the goods." Xiang Nan also laughed.

   "Best Partner" is a film produced by New Arts City in 1982, with a total investment of 8 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a record for investment in Hong Kong films. The filming of this film also created a precedent for Hong Kong-produced blockbusters.

  Its status is similar to "Heroes" in the Mainland. Back then, "Hero" opened the era of domestic blockbusters. However, it is different from "Hero", which has been controversial and has mixed reviews.

  When "Best Partner" was released, it was extremely popular. There are long queues for several miles at the entrance of the theater. According to the final statistics, nearly half of the population in Hong Kong went to the theater to watch this movie, which shows its popularity.

  If Wang Jing doesn't see any good in such a script, it means he doesn't know how to play it.

   "Then let's make preparations immediately, and strive for the summer film to be released." Xiang Nan laughed.

  The scenes of "Best Partner" are not small, and the production takes time, about five to six months.

   "Okay." Wang Jing nodded.

  …
