"Professor Cheng, you are the only one who can help me this time." Feng Xiaogang said with a shy face, "Brother, I have just become a director. You don't want me to return to my original form after just one play and become a screenwriter again."

"Okay, don't sound so pitiful." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "How many dramas can be popular in a year? There are not so many directors who are dead, so what are you afraid of?"

"The key is, who doesn't want to climb up the ladder? I don't want to be promoted to a director and just wait to die." Feng Xiaogang said with a smile.

Xiang Nan nodded, admiring his enterprising spirit.

In fact, without such professionalism, Feng Xiaogang would not have grown from an art assistant to a top director in the country.

How many people are content to be mediocre all their lives because of their lack of ambition.

"Okay, I've prepared a script for you, take it." Xiang Nan smiled and gave him a script.

Feng Xiaogang took it and took a look, and was stunned when he saw eight big characters written on the cover - "A Romantic Affair".

He then looked through it and realized that he had made a mistake.

This is not a romantic affair as he thought. Instead, it is a police drama with a layer of love. Or, to put it the other way around, it is a love drama with a layer of love.

I have to say that Xiang Nan's script was so well written. He just turned through a few pages and couldn't bear to let it go. He wanted to finish it all. It was really good.

"Professor Cheng, how can I thank you?" he said excitedly. With such a good script, he felt that his future was secure.

"You're welcome, friends should help each other, right?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Feng Xiaogang nodded immediately, "If you have anything to do in the future, just ask."

"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, that's all.

…

After Feng Xiaogang got the script, he went back and reported to the leader.

After the script passed review, he then began preparations for "A Romantic Affair".

Because this drama is a police romance drama, the love element is more important than the detective elements. And romance dramas must have handsome men and beautiful women.

In particular, the heroine is a top priority, so Feng Xiaogang attaches great importance to it and is determined to choose the most beautiful actress to play the role. Finally, after many rounds of screening, he selected Xu Qing, who is now a sophomore at Beijing Film Academy.

After Xiang Nan saw his selection, he couldn't help but admire his vision.

Xu Qing is a goddess in the hearts of Chinese people. She was a smash hit in the 1990s. "The Roots of the Imperial City", "Sunrise in the East and Rain in the West", and "Come and Come" were all hits.

Even in the 21st century, Xu Qing is still one of the most charming women in the entertainment industry. Starring in "Old Paoer" and "The Evil Can Suppress the Righteous" still has the charm that confuses all living beings.

"Professor Cheng, do you also think she is good?" Feng Xiaogang said with a smile.

"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded.

There is a saying, a man wants to marry Xu Qing, and a woman wants to scold Xu Qing. Whatever a man wants, he can find in Xu Qing; whatever a woman hates, she can also find in Xu Qing.

"As long as you like it." Feng Xiaogang nodded and smiled.

…

Later, Xu Qing was brought to see Xiang Nan by Feng Xiaogang, who said he was asking the author for advice to better understand the characters.

When Xiang Nan saw Xu Qing, he couldn't help but admire her beauty and temperament.

It’s no wonder that in her forties, she is still highly regarded. She has played the leading role in blockbusters such as “The Old Man” and “The Righteous One.” There are only a few people in China who can do it.

After Xu Qing met Xiang Nan, she was also very well-behaved.

Although her identity is not ordinary. Her grandmother and aunt are diplomats, her mother is the leader of the song and dance troupe of the General Political Department, and her father is a security guard for the chief minister. She grew up in the diplomatic compound and is the big brother that Feng Xiaogang dreams of.

But in front of Xiang Nan, there is no need to mention this identity and background. Not to mention Xiang Nan's own status in the academic world, he has been teaching for many years, and his friends are all over the world. There are people from him all over the capital.

Xiang Nan, in particular, has unparalleled influence in the film and television industry.

Every one of his scripts is sure to be a hit, and every one of his plays can cause a sensation. Many actors have become famous through his works.

For example, Zhu Lin, before this, the only role that could be remembered was the king of the daughter country. But now her roles like Liu Huifang, Ge Ling, and Jiang Man have become classics.

For example, Li Baotian was basically unknown before filming "Prime Minister Liu Luo Guo". Now he is famous all over the country. Who can't sing "There is a steelyard between heaven and earth".

Anyone who enters the entertainment industry has a desire to be popular. Xu Qing is no exception, so she is particularly close to Xiang Nan.

Ever since Feng Xiaogang introduced Xiang Nan to her, she had come to Xiang Nan for advice almost every day. She called him "professor" and "teacher" one after another, making it difficult for Xiang Nan not to like her.

…

In February 1990, during the Valentine's Day period, "Pretty Woman" written by Xiang Nan officially landed in North American theaters.

The movie has a humorous story, vivid plot, and romantic warmth, so it is very popular with the audience. After it was released, it was a huge hit at the box office.

The North American box office was US$180 million, and the overseas box office was US$250 million. Compared with the cost of 14 million, it can be said to be another blockbuster.

The two consecutive works were a hit at the box office, making Xiang Nan the most popular screenwriter in Hollywood, and also won him the favor of many film companies.

In the past, some film companies were dissatisfied with Xiang Nan's price for "Jurassic Park", but now they no longer despise it. They all expressed their willingness to accept it, and even sent people directly to Beijing to negotiate with Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan naturally did not miss this opportunity, and he re-adjusted his requirements. Not only did he require a production cost of 60 million and Steven Spielberg to direct, but the heroine also had to be played by a Chinese actor.

In the past, when faced with this request, Hollywood would definitely reject it without even talking about it. But now that Xiang Nan has proven his strength, the film company has to consider it carefully.

So in the end, they all agreed to Xiang Nan's conditions. After careful consideration, Xiang Nan decided to cooperate with Warner Pictures again.

On the one hand, Warner's cooperation was the most sincere, and the vice president personally visited Xiang Nan; on the other hand, Warner offered the best conditions and promised to give Xiang Nan the highest share of the box office and video tapes.

After reaching the cooperation agreement, Xiang Nan was thinking about who should star in "Jurassic Park". Originally, he was prepared to give this opportunity to Gong Li.

However, in May, at the International Cannes Film Festival, "Raise the Red Lantern" won the Palme d'Or. After Gong Li was also nominated for Best Actress, she became a little willful towards herself. Unlike before

Call him and he will come, wave him and he will go.

So Xiang Nan thought about changing it to someone else. He just happened to be a little tired of it.

And the Xu Qing in front of her was young, beautiful, smart, and obedient, so it would be better to take advantage of her.
