In April, filming of "Longing" began.

After filming started, Xiang Nan often visited the crew.

In name, I was visiting everyone, but in fact, I just went to Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin knew this very well, but he was no longer disgusted with it.

On the one hand, after the previous two months of contact, her impression of Xiang Nan was getting better and better; on the other hand, she was increasingly recognizing Xiang Nan's excellence and was attracted by his talent and wisdom.

Therefore, even though she knew that Xiang Nan was a married man, it was inevitable that she would have a secret feeling for him.

It's just that because Xiang Nan is a married woman, even if she has a crush on him, she doesn't dare to go too far. She just maintains the status of being more than a friend and not a lover.

Xiang Nan is not in a hurry about this. To be honest, he still enjoys this kind of ambiguity.

There were many girls he had communicated with before, but most of them were just for fun and had no emotional communication, which made him feel that he was too cold and was about to lose human emotions.

However, now with Zhu Lin, Xiang Nan finally rediscovered the feeling of love, which was so beautiful and wonderful that he was a little intoxicated.

In comparison, simple physical communication has become boring.

…

In July, "Dream of Red Mansions" finally officially launched after more than four years of production.

Once it was aired, this TV series quickly caused a sensation.

On the one hand, the "Four Masterpieces" have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. They are the most outstanding IPs in the five thousand years of Chinese literary history and have a broad audience.

On the one hand, "Dream of Red Mansions" took a total of nine years from preparation to filming (preparation started in 1979), which is almost ten years of sharpening the sword.

During the filming, we received resource support from all over the country. For example, well-known red scholars served as consultants, and top writers such as Xiang Nan served as screenwriters.

Drama troupes, drama troupes, and folk art troupes in various provinces, cities and counties have recommended good talents in the troupes, so that actors are carefully selected and selected from thousands of places.

It was also very convenient to go to various locations for filming. Therefore, it was equivalent to pouring all the efforts of the country into filming such a movie, and the quality can be imagined.

Therefore, after it was broadcast, it immediately caused a sensation and the ratings were high.

The actors in the play also became instantly famous and became household names.

…

At the end of August, the Television Arts Center celebrated the success of the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".

As a screenwriter, Xiang Nan naturally went there.

"Professor Cheng, long time no see~", "Teacher Cheng, I miss you so much~"

After meeting everyone again after a long absence, Xiang Nan was warmly welcomed upon arrival.

At this time, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" set off a sales boom in the United States, with sales exceeding one million copies. The news spread back to China, which also made Xiang Nan's fame increase sharply.

After all, in the 1980s, Chinese people generally had a mentality of worshiping foreign countries. Not only were they keen on going abroad, but they even bought foreign products when buying things. They wanted Sony TVs, Panasonic air conditioners, Yamaha motorcycles, and Siemens refrigerators...

The success of Xiang Nan's book in the United States, in their opinion, is more worthy of celebration than the success in China. Therefore, Xiang Nan's popularity and influence have reached a new level.

"Hello to everyone, hello to everyone, I miss you too~" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

After the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions" started, he also visited the crew several times while filming in Beijing. Later, after the crew went to Zhengding, he did not go there again. However, he still kept in touch with some people on the crew through letters.

…

After a while of greetings, everyone sat down one after another and expressed their farewell feelings to each other.

"Hey, by the way, "Dream of Red Mansions" has finished broadcasting, what are you going to do?" Xiang Nan asked with concern.

After "Dream of Red Mansions" was wrapped in February, most of the actors had actually dispersed and went back to their respective homes and to their respective mothers. After all, they were recommended by various units at the time. Now that their tasks are completed, it is time to return to their original units.

However, several leading actors such as Ouyang Fenqiang, Chen Kexu, Zhang Li, Deng Jie and others were left to participate in the promotion of the TV series. Now that the TV series has finished broadcasting, where should they go?

After hearing his question, everyone fell silent for a while.

"This is what worries us." Deng Jie sighed, "We all want to stay, but CCTV only gave two places to enter Beijing. One was given to Wen Ying, and the other was given to Zhang Li. Xiaoxu and I , Ouyang was not selected, and it seems that he can only return to his original unit."

Hearing what she said, Chen Kexu, Ouyang Fenqiang and others were a little disappointed.

Yanjing is the heart of China, the most prosperous district, and the most prosperous place. Anyone who comes here will be willing to go back. However, there is no household registration, no quota for entering Beijing, and no employer will accept them if they want to stay. They are not like duckweeds. Here it is.

"In my opinion, you don't have to be so depressed." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan smiled and said.

Hearing what he said, everyone looked over curiously, "Professor Cheng, do you have any advice?"

"Now is the period of reform and opening up, and the physical constitution is undergoing reform. I wonder if you have heard that the Shengjing Explosion-proof Equipment Factory declared bankruptcy last year." Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "What does this mean? Can you see it?"

When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads.

Their academic qualifications and knowledge were limited, so they really couldn't see much. However, it really shocked them that a state-owned enterprise could go bankrupt.

"This shows that there will probably be no iron rice bowl in the future." Xiang Nan explained, "State-owned enterprises will also close down and government agencies will be disbanded.

For example, in the past few years, the art troupe at the regiment level has been disbanded; a few years earlier, the cavalry has also been withdrawn from its establishment; and now a million-strong disarmament is also in full swing.

So you also need to change your thinking and your ideas. What if you don’t have an employer to accept you, or you don’t have a Beijing household registration? You have a reputation, you are a household name, and this is the greatest wealth."

"What wealth?" They didn't quite understand.

"There are so many performance opportunities in the capital now. All the karaoke bars, bars, and theaters need stars to support you. With your reputation, as long as you are willing to perform, you can easily make a thousand dollars per performance.

In one year, you can buy a house in the capital. By then, who will dare to say that you are not from Yanjing?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Really?!" After hearing what he said, everyone's eyes lit up.

In the past few years, they were busy studying and filming. They didn't dare to say they knew nothing about the outside world, but they were also extremely out of touch. They didn't expect that the outside world had changed so much, which shocked them all.

"Of course it's true." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Now that we are opening up and revitalizing, the country is advocating the development of the private economy. To tell you the truth, there are now the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, the Railway Art Troupe, the Radio Art Troupe... all have a large number of actors coming out to perform tricks and blockades. Can't stop it."

He had communicated with the dancers of the song and dance troupe before, so he often heard these things from them.

Nowadays, it is common for these performance groups to cheat. Their monthly salary in the group is only a few hundred yuan, but when they go out to dance with singers, they can earn hundreds for a performance. The income they make in one night is more than their monthly salary.

People die for money, and birds die for food, so even the people in the group can't control it.
