The figures listed by Feng Xiaogang are all well-known big names.

Needless to say, Wang Tie was the most popular writer in the Mainland in the 1980s and 1990s; Su Tong, Hai Wei, and Liu Zhenyun, to a lesser extent, were also outstanding figures in the literary world.

Su Tong's "Wives and Concubines" was adapted into "Raise the Red Lantern" by Zhang Yimou; Hai Wei's "Never Rest in Peace", "A Romantic Affair", "What Can I Do to Save You, My Love", etc. , are also famous for a while; Liu Zhenyun's "Chicken Feathers", "My Name is Liu Yuejin", "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", etc., have also been adapted into film and television dramas.

Zheng Xiaolong is a big figure that cannot be ignored in the mainland TV industry and has created many firsts. For example, the first full-length TV series "Four Generations Under One Roof", the first full-length indoor drama "Desire", the first TV series "Edit" "The Story of the Ministry", the first TV series "Yenjing Man in New York" shot entirely abroad...

In addition, his representative works include "Golden Wedding", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Red Sorghum", "Young Man Bao Qingtian", etc. It can be said that he is a pivotal figure in the mainland entertainment industry.

However, Xiang Nan knew that Feng Xiaogang was just trying to make a big deal out of tiger skins. He might know these people and have dealt with them, but they definitely couldn't be ferromagnetic.

Because he is now a member of the crew, and those people are all of a much higher status than him. Moreover, most of those people are from the big courtyard, and their eyes have always been long on the top of their heads. How can they call him brothers? They are nothing more than Xiang. Just like Nan, just take him for fun.

…

"They all grew up together when I was young." Feng Xiaogang said with a shy face. He is actually half a big boy.

His father was also a soldier and lived in the compound of Xijiao Party School. Later, after his parents divorced, he and his mother moved to an alley in Xicheng District.

So seriously speaking, he was actually a kid who grew up in an alley, but he was born with a longing for the compound.

After all, at that time, the living conditions, political status, mental outlook, and future prospects of the boys from the big courtyard were better than those from the alley.

For example, being a soldier was the most fashionable thing in the 1960s and 1970s. If a boy from a big courtyard wanted to be a soldier, it was basically a matter of just one sentence. But if a boy from the hutong wanted to be a soldier, it was very difficult.

After graduating from high school, Cheng Jianjun and Han Chunming both wanted to serve in the military, but their quotas had long been taken away, so they had no choice but to go to the countryside.

Xiang Nan didn't expose Feng Xiaogang's lies, but he didn't have much interest in being friends with Wang Xie, Hai Yi, Ma Weitu, Zheng Xiaolong and others.

Because most of those people are from the big courtyard. The same background, the same knowledge, and the same thoughts have long tied them together and become an interest group.

If Xiang Nan were a young writer like Su Tong or Liu Zhenyun, with no background and no backing, and his career had just started, he would have a big tree to shelter from if he took refuge there.

But the key point is that Xiang Nan himself is a big tree, and his influence is just as big as that of Wang Xie, Hai Yi, Ma Weidu, and Zheng Xiaolong. So if he wants to go there, he must not be the younger brother, but can only be the boss. The key people are not happy either ah.

Therefore, they can at most be allies, or even rivals, but they can never be friends.

"Forget it, we are not from the same group. We have different paths and we do not agree with each other. I will disappear with them. We will talk about it when there is an opportunity to cooperate in the future." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.

Hearing what he said, Feng Xiaogang could only nod.

…

After the crew of "Triumph at Midnight" returned to Beijing, Xiang Nan was not in a hurry to contact Zhu Lin. He was waiting for an opportunity, the most worthy opportunity to take action.

While waiting for the opportunity, "A Dream of Red Mansions" was officially completed in February and is expected to be officially broadcast during the summer vacation. This is also a good thing for Xiang Nan. After all, this TV series was originally written and written by him.

At the end of January, Xiang Nan completed the translation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and handed it over to Random House for publication.

After reviewing it, Random House found no problems, and believed that the book was very imaginative, the writing was interesting, and it had certain market prospects, so it printed 10,000 copies and tried to distribute it.

Xiang Nan also received nearly 100,000 US dollars in royalties, mainly from the English version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". As for royalties, they were only a pitiful 10,000 US dollars.

After the news spread, many people were overjoyed.

Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. From 1976 to now, Xiang Nan has been popular for almost ten years. He has always been so superior that no one can look at him without jealousy.

Now that he has finally missed his mark, naturally some people are happy and some are secretly happy.

"How much money can you make by printing 10,000 copies? If I had known earlier, I might as well have taken the one million."

"I thought he could be proud of the United States, but in the end he only printed 10,000 copies, which is the level of a new author."

"I've told him before that he can't do it. He's never even left the country, so he knows what foreigners like? Is he doing it behind closed doors?"

Some people said sourly, they are all sour people who can't eat the grapes.

Xiang Nan doesn't care about this, as gold will always shine. He believes that as long as it is a good book, it cannot be ignored.

Just like the novel websites a few decades later, there are millions of novels. But who is good-looking and who is not good-looking cannot be hidden from anyone at all.

To put it bluntly, even if the novel is not popular, it will not be a big loss to him. One million US dollars may be an astronomical figure to others.

To Xiang Nan, it's just a cloud. He has made tens of billions, is he still short of this little money?

…

Entering February, "Triumph at Midnight" was officially broadcast on CCTV.

Once it was broadcast, it caused a sensation and received extremely high ratings.

The romantic love story, the magnificent battle scenes, the noble revolutionary friendship... made this drama deeply touching, captivating countless viewers, and also made actors such as Zhu Lin and Shi Zhaoqi so famous.

As the author and screenwriter of the original novel, Xiang Nan naturally benefited a lot. Not only did the original novel "Triumph at Midnight" become a best-seller again, but his influence in the film and television industry also soared rapidly.

Therefore, when they heard that another of his scripts, "Desire," was being prepared for filming, many actors rushed to sign up, hoping to play a role.

After all, Shi Zhaoqi and Zhu Lin are the role models before them. They both became so popular all over the country because of their starring roles in "Triumph at Midnight". Who can not envy them. Just like in the 1990s, when Haiwei drama became popular, how many

People are vying to be in his show.

When Xiang Nan saw it, he realized that the moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

So as a screenwriter, he immediately recommended Zhu Lin to the crew as the starring role.

The reason he gave was that when he originally wrote the heroine, she was based on Zhu Lin's appearance, so this role must be played by her.
