While Xiang Nan and Zhang Ziyi were busy filming "My Father and Mother," Xiang Nan's previous film "Nothing Happens" was also officially released in May.

Although Xiang Nan only played a supporting role in it, all the scenes together took less than ten minutes, and he was the third or fourth actor.

However, the Youth Studio published articles all day long, praising Xiang Nan's acting skills, the importance of the role, and his good popularity on the set, making it as if he was the protagonist.

In the 1990s, the entertainment industry was not in the mood for hype. People like Feng Gong, Ding Jiali, Li Mingqi, Wang Jinsong and others just filmed honestly and didn't know how to promote it after filming, so they were easily won by Xiang Nan. fruit.

"Let's go see "Nothing's Happening", starring Yuan Hua~"

"Although he doesn't appear much, his performance is really good. The phrase 'I'm almost exhausted' really speaks to my heart."

"Yuan Hua's acting skills are really good. I think he is the best actor in the movie. You can read newspapers and magazines and praise him~"

The ordinary people all talked about it.

The famous French social psychologist Gustave Le Pen mentioned in his classic book "The Crowd" that the public has no ability to distinguish and cannot judge the authenticity of things, so they are superstitious about authority. Many opinions that cannot withstand scrutiny are It’s easy to get universal approval!

Youth Studio now uses public opinion to influence the public. In the 1990s, newspapers, magazines and other paper media were still very credible.

Moreover, unless the actor's acting skills are really bad, so bad that it makes people's eyes irritated, ordinary people cannot judge the level of acting skills.

Therefore, when public opinion generally boasts about Xiang Nan's acting skills, his popularity, and his importance, people will easily believe it.

…

In addition, Zhichun Studio is riding on Zhang Yimou's popularity and making a big fuss by starring Xiang Nan in "My Father and Mother".

"Zhang Yimou appointed Xiang Nan as the leading actor, and a new star in the film industry is rising~"

"Xiang Nan became Gong Li's younger brother and starred in director Zhang Yimou's new film."

"Xiang Nan's acting skills have been recognized by Zhang Yimou, and he is no less than Berlin's best actor Ge You!"

The rainbow fart blows fiercely, and the pull and step hit the porcelain. In less than two months, Xiang Nan has been praised as a top-notch actor in the country, enough to keep pace with Ge You, Gong Li, Wang Zhiwen, Chen Daoming, etc.

Although people in the industry thought it was an exaggeration, the common people really didn’t understand. When they saw it being said in the newspapers, they couldn’t help but believe it.

As a result, Xiang Nan's popularity, status, and popularity skyrocketed.

In 1993, the film industry reformed; in 1999, TV station production and broadcasting were separated, opening a gap for private capital to enter the film and television industry.

Film and television companies with private backgrounds were established one after another and began to invest in the production of movies and TV series. Many of these bosses were laymen. They invested in making movies and TV series. Many of them relied on the popularity of actors and hired whoever was popular.

As a result, Xiang Nan, who is now famous, famous and has acting skills, has naturally become a favorite in their eyes.

All of a sudden, there was a swarm of film offers from all over the place. Without Yan Fan sending out her resume, she already had so many film offers that she wouldn't be able to finish them all in the year after next.

…

"Don't be in a hurry to take on the drama. Read the script first and then the cast." Xiang Nan called to discuss with Yan Fan. "Now is the period when my career is on the rise. Accumulating fame is the most important thing. I'm not in a hurry to make money."

He has so many ways to make money, and he really doesn't care about the remuneration from filming. Besides, the remuneration is not high now. For TV, it only costs 30,000 to 40,000 yuan per episode.

And this number of episodes is not the number of episodes when it was broadcast, but the total time the actors appeared in the edited version, divided by the length of each episode.

Therefore, for a thirty-episode drama, if Xiang Nan is the protagonist and plays half of the time, he can earn a salary of five to six million yuan. After excluding the taxes that need to be paid, he can only earn three to four hundred thousand yuan.

As for a thirty-episode TV series, even if the filming time is very tight, it will still take two or three months. Therefore, to be honest, the cost-effectiveness is not high, and Xiang Nan's willingness to star in the film is naturally not strong.

Yan Fan nodded, "Okay, I will help you choose carefully."

"Yeah." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Sister Yan, if you have a good opportunity, don't forget to give it to yourself. It would be a pity for you to be an agent."

"Okay, I understand." Yan Fan smiled and said, "You are the only one who still supports me~"

…

At the end of June, "Nothing Happens" was released, with a total box office of 13 million yuan. To be honest, it is not very high. In future generations, a similar lineup will probably be worth one billion or two billion yuan.

But even so, this movie is still a big hit because its production cost is very low, less than 3 million yuan in total.

Coupled with the royalties from selling to movie channels and overseas distribution, a rough estimate shows that Chang'an Film Studio has earned at least 6 million yuan, which is not bad.

And because during the movie's release, Xiang Nan was very good at marketing, making all kinds of shameless boasts. Therefore, more than half of the huge profit credit of "Nothing Happens" was taken away by his small supporting role.

This kind of manipulation is very common in later generations. Many artists like to count the box office and TV series ratings of their supporting roles and guest appearances in their own accounts to create the illusion that they are box office celebrities and ratings experts.

However, in the 1990s, no one was so arrogant. Xiang Nan could be said to be the first, and the effect was really immediate!

After "Nothing Happens" became a big hit, he received more filming offers. In comparison, the leading roles such as Feng Gong, Ding Jiali, Li Mingqi and others still had the same filming dates as before, and they didn't even get paid.

How can it rise? Where can I reason?

…

The filming of "My Father and Mother" started in February and lasted until August when it was finally completed.

During this half-year period, Xiang Nan returned to the capital four times in total, staying for three days to half a month each time.

In April, he went back once because Qiu Ya came to the dam to see him on May Day.

Naturally, Xiang Nan didn't want her to come to Bashang. As soon as she came, what he said to Zhang Ziyi was confusing again. So he went back to comfort Qiu Ya and bought her a Passat, finally coaxing her to sleep.

.

In June, he went back for the longest time. That time was to cope with the final exam. Although Xiang Nan barely attended a class in the second semester, he still passed the test easily through self-study.

In comparison, Li Bo, Cheng Bin, and Zhou Le were in school tomorrow, but they still failed two subjects at the end of the semester, which made them cry unreasonable.

When Xiang Nan went back in July, he wanted to break up with Zhang Jingchu. He hadn't seen her a few times this year, and their relationship had become very thin. In this case, he shouldn't force it anymore.

Xiang Nan gave her 20,000 yuan in one breath and introduced her to the crew of "The Happy Life of Zhang Damin," where she played the role of sister Zhang Daxue.

Zhang Jingchu not only got money, but also got the opportunity to perform, and lost the benefits, so she happily broke up with Xiang Nan.
