Xiang Nan successfully won the attention of the mainland film industry with his stunning performance in "Garland Under the Mountain".

Beijing Film Studio and Bayi Film Studio even wanted to second him to become a professional actor and screenwriter, but the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe still refused to let him go.

Because Xiang Nan is not only an excellent actor, but also an outstanding novelist, songwriter, and a rare talent. If the General Secretary wants to let him go, it would be a big mistake, so he is determined not to let him go.

Despite this, Xiang Nan still attracted the attention of many film studios with his superb acting skills and high popularity.

In the following period, he successively received invitations from Beijing Film Studio, Bayi Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio, etc., and took over the filming of "Midnight", "The Outpost in the Birch Forest", "Under the Bridge", "Solon Valley"

"The Gunsmoke", "Operation Lightning", "Gobi Revenge", etc., basically maintaining the pace of one film a year.

…

Back in 1982, Xiang Nan had already earned nearly 2.6 million yuan from the "Detective Di Renjie" series. In addition to the cost of buying antiques, he still had 1.5 million yuan left.

Xiang Nan took out 300,000 of the money, built a flower shed in Miyun, and planted large areas of Clivia.

He knew that in 1984, Changchun City would designate Clivia as the city flower and call on the people of the city to cultivate it. With this order, the price of Clivia immediately skyrocketed.

At its most expensive, the price of a rare Clivia plant was even as high as 200,000 yuan. The 200,000 yuan in 1984 is roughly equivalent to 20 million today, which shows that the price is outrageous.

Xiang Nan now wants to ride on this craze. He is planting Clivia extensively and will sell them all to Changchun. Even if a potted flower only sells for two to three million or a hundred thousand potted flowers, it can still sell for twenty or thirty million. This is a good business with huge profits.

…

And in 1982, Xiaoping officially graduated after four years of college.

After graduation, she returned to the General Administration and continued to work as a creative staff. However, she was promoted from a platoon-level creative staff to a company-level creative staff.

Firstly, her diploma is that of a college student and she is considered a high-level talent. When she returns to the army, she should be promoted; secondly, during the four years she has been studying there, she has produced many works, and her accumulated achievements are enough for her to be promoted.

Therefore, he was successfully promoted from a platoon-level creator to a company-level creator. Not only did his salary increase, but he also enjoyed more benefits.

After Xiaoping graduated, the happiest person was Xiang Nan. He could finally see Xiaoping every day instead of once a week.

Moreover, after Xiaoping graduates, many things can be put on the agenda. For example, giving birth to a child.

They have been married for three years now. Due to their studies, they have not had children. This makes the family back home anxious, and even Xiaoping's father Shen Bowen is anxious. Therefore, the matter of having children must be brought up.

Schedule.

Xiaoping actually wanted to have a baby, and the two of them reached a consensus and started actively preparing for pregnancy.

…

And in 1982, two things happened.

First, after being blocked for two years, the film "Wrangler" was finally released and allowed to be filmed.

However, Xiang Nan did not compete with Zhu Shimao this time and missed the opportunity to play the leading role. The reason was very hurtful. Xie Jin said that he was too ordinary-looking and not as beautiful as Zhu Shimao and had the look of a leading role.

Hearing his harmless but extremely insulting words, Xiang Nan was almost depressed for a moment.

However, he also admitted that Zhu Shimao is really handsome, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and a tall figure. At first glance, he looks like an authentic Qilu man, comparable to Japan's Ken Takakura and France's Alain Delon.

It's not unfair that I lost to him. It's a pity that I couldn't listen to Guo Zhenzi's words, "Old Xu, if you don't want your wife, as long as you open the mouth, I will give it to you~" What's more, he missed the opportunity to cooperate with the great beauty Cong Shan

The opportunity is very regrettable.

…

Second, after the death of the well-known mainland writer Mao Dun, he donated his 250,000 yuan royalties to establish the Mao Dun Literary Award. Mr. Ba Jin served as the chairman of the jury and invited influential writers, theorists, and commentators in the literary world.

Home and organization workers serve as judges.

The Mao Dun Literary Award stipulates that every three years, novels from the Mainland will be selected. The winning titles are set at three to five, and the winners will receive medals, bonuses and certificates.

Because Mr. Mao Dun has a very high status in the mainland literary world, and Mr. Ba Jin is also a giant in the mainland literary world, the Mao Dun Literary Award has attracted the attention of the literary world since its establishment, and everyone is eager to receive the award.

Amid great expectations, the results of the first Mao Dun Literature Award were officially announced in December.

The novel "The Passionate Years" written by Xiang Nan won the recognition of the first Mao Dun Literature Award because of its excellent characterization, vivid storyline, and description of historical changes.

…

The announcement of this result made Xiang Nan famous again.

Because he is the only one born in the 1950s among all the winners. In comparison, most of the other authors were born in the 1930s and 1920s, and are twenty or thirty years older than Xiang Nan.

It is really amazing that Xiang Nan can win this award in his early thirties.

In addition, he is already well-known, and now that he has received this award, it is even more powerful, attracting more admirers for him.

Of course, not everyone is happy for him.

Some people are very dissatisfied with Xiang Nan winning this award.

One thing Xiang Nan is currently writing is popular literature. "Detective Di Renjie" is purely fictional and random, with no artistry at all. It is vulgar, vulgar, and kitsch. A three-legged scholar like him who has fallen for money,

Naturally, he is not qualified to win the Mao Dun Literary Award, an important award in the literary world.

Secondly, Xiang Nan's qualifications are too shallow. Counting from the time he started writing songs, it's only been seven years. If we're counting from the time he started writing novels, it's even less than four years.

In comparison, in the mainland literary world, there are many seniors who have been engaged in literary creation for forty or fifty years. Compared with them, Xiang Nan is just a newcomer.

Why haven't these seniors won the award yet, but the junior Xiang Nan won the award? They all felt very dissatisfied. Therefore, many people protested, questioning that this result was really hasty.

…

But in the end, Mr. Ba Jin opened the door for Xiang Nan.

"The Mao Dun Literary Award is based on the quality of the works, not on seniority, nor on dividing the pork. The only way to win the award is to rely on the work. The winning works of the first Mao Dun Literary Award were collectively selected by hundreds of judges.

The selection process was fair and impartial, and represented the collective opinions. I very much approve of this result.

As for some malicious speculations from the outside world, I don’t think they represent the mainstream opinions of the literary world. I also advise those people to be open-minded. The bigger a person’s heart is, the bigger their works will be.”
