In early February 2002, Hong Kong's New Year's film "The World is Unparalleled" was released in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China.

Although this movie is very suspected of being a piece of cake and full of all kinds of old jokes that have long been outdated, it is because the leading actors Liang Chaowei, Xiang Nan, Wang Fei, and Zhao Wei are all popular stars.

Liu Zhenwei's reputation at this time was not bad, so he attracted a large number of viewers. In addition, it was released during the Spring Festival, which coincided with two major situations, [New Year's Eve] and [Everyone is here], and the audience's tolerance was relatively high. Even bad movies can be tolerated.

Therefore, this movie actually achieved a good box office. The box office in Hong Kong was 13 million, the box office in mainland China was 23 million, plus the box office in Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia, etc., it actually made a lot of money.

Although Xiang Nan is only the second male lead, he has become quite familiar with this film. After "The World is Unparalleled", "My Brothers and Sisters" was also released.

As soon as this movie was released, the box office exploded, and it also took in 23 million box office in the mainland.

Although Xiang Nan only showed a small face in the film, and the entire scene together was less than ten minutes, he was one of the few big stars in the film, so he was still the focus of media attention.

Coupled with the fact that Youth Youth Studio took the opportunity to praise it, Xiang Nan's box office elixir and ratings star image became more and more solid, and he became more and more popular among the audience and the favor of film and television companies.

…

The filming of "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" started in January, and by the beginning of April, the filming was basically completed.

Overall, the filming process went smoothly.

However, there are also a lot of small frictions. The main reason is the behind-the-scenes team, most of whom are from Hong Kong and Taiwan. They tend to stick together and prefer Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.

Hong Kong and Taiwan artists will be given more care when it comes to lighting, photography, wiring, and many other aspects. They may even cut out scenes for mainland actors, or make things difficult for mainland actors for no reason.

Xiang Nan saw this and naturally felt unhappy.

Therefore, after filming "Emperor of Han Dynasty", he left Hengdian directly and returned to Yanjing without even attending the closing banquet.

…

After returning to Yanjing, Xiang Nan continued to record his own album and prepare his graduation thesis to prepare for graduation.

To be honest, during the four years of college, Xiang Nan stayed at Beijing Film Academy for less than three months. Fortunately, he was studious and the school favored him, so he didn't fail a single course in the four years of college.

In comparison, Zhou Le, Li Bo, and Cheng Bin, who were in the same dormitory, all failed several subjects each. They were still busy taking make-up exams when they were about to graduate, which really made people wonder what to say.

At the end of May, Xiang Nan participated in the thesis defense, "My Opinion on Character Performance", which was highly praised by the instructor. He successfully passed the defense and successfully received his diploma in mid-June.

After taking their graduation photos, the students found a place to have a good time, saying goodbye to their college life completely.

"Yuan Hua, you are a big star now. You can't ignore us when you are a classmate."

"Yuan Hua, if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, you must think of your brothers."

"Brother Hua, you are my real brother. From now on, I will hang out with you and be a bit of a brother~"

At the wine table, everyone toasted to Xiang Nan.

During the four years of college, almost no students in their class, except Xiang Nan, had made it through.

Unlike the Class of 1996, which produced a large number of stars such as Zhao Wei, Chen Kun, Guo Xiaodong, Yan Danchen, and Huang Xiaoshuang, there are several who have become famous before they graduate.

"Don't worry, classmates, I will definitely think of you all if I have the opportunity in the future." Xiang Nan raised his glass and said, "To be honest, I already intend to invest in filming myself. When the time comes, everyone will come to help!"

"real?!"

“Invest yourself?!”

"This is too risky."

When the students heard this, they were all surprised.

At this stage, the investment in filming is still relatively large.

A small-budget movie costs 3 to 5 million. A 20-episode TV series costs at least 8 to 9 million. If the production is more sophisticated, it is not unusual to have more than 10 million.

Although Xiang Nan has made some money in the past few years, investing in film and television dramas seems very risky.

"Don't worry, I'm sensible." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

In recent years, national policies have become better and better, and support for private capital investment in the entertainment industry has increased.

The atmosphere here in Yanjing is quite conservative, but in the south, in fact, private capital had already begun investing in film and television dramas as early as the 1990s.

Xiang Nan has been working hard in the industry for four years and has accumulated a wealth of contacts and experience. From preparation to production to distribution, he knows every link, so he dares to invest on his own.

Seeing that he was so confident, his classmates stopped trying to persuade him and asked Xiang Nan for a chance.

…

After the farewell banquet, the students left school separately and embarked on their own journeys.

In fact, most people stayed in Yanjing and rented houses in villages in the city, preparing to stick here and make a name for themselves.

Naturally, Xiang Nan would not be so miserable. He had forty-two properties in Yanjing, including four courtyard houses alone.

When I bought it, it was just over two million. Now it has risen to over three million. In ten years, I am afraid that it will be impossible to get it without one or two hundred million.

Xiang Nan is now sitting under the grape trellis in his courtyard, eating iced watermelon and talking to Qiu Ya.

At the same time as he graduated, Qiu Ya also graduated.

"Yuan Hua, how are you going to arrange for me?" Qiu Ya asked with a smile while pricking the watermelon with a toothpick and putting it into Xiang Nan's mouth.

"It depends on what you want. You can choose the studio's accountant, cashier, or my personal assistant." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If you don't want to work, just stay at home and enjoy the happiness. Otherwise, I will give you With a little money, you can try to start your own business."

"I'd better be your assistant." Qiu Ya thought for a while and said.

The accountant and cashier seemed to be in charge of the money, but in fact they were just asking the girl to get the keys, not making the final decision. Without Xiang Nan's signature and seal, she couldn't take a penny away.

It is even more inappropriate to enjoy happiness at home. If you stay away from Xiang Nan for a long time, others may take advantage of you. At that time, it will be someone else who enjoys happiness at home.

As for using money to start a business, it's not appropriate. If starting a business was that easy, there would be no poor people in the world. Moreover, using money to start a business is a one-time deal. If you make money, it's okay, but if you lose, are you embarrassed to ask for money again?

Therefore, in comparison, it is better to be a personal assistant.

Firstly, by following Xiang Nan at all times, you can get closer to the water and first get the moon; secondly, you can also drive away those crazy bees and butterflies to ensure that your position is not taken away.

"Being a personal assistant is very hard. Can you really bear it?" Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Don't force it."

"It's okay, I'm willing to serve you by your side." Qiu Ya said with a smile.

Xiang Nan nodded.
