On December 5th, the college entrance examination was held in Yanjing.

As a high school senior, Xiang Nan signed up to take the college entrance examination.

His idea is, one red heart, two preparations.

If the path of film and television fails, then continue schooling and then enter politics. In the 1980s, it was easier to get things done with an official status.

If the path of film and television is successful, it will be too late to suspend my studies or drop out of school.

Anyway, no matter what, with his strength, no matter which path he takes, the future is bright. He is just playing.

…

After the college entrance examination, while waiting for the results to be released at home, Zhu Mu suddenly came to Beijing to find Xiang Nan.

It turns out that "Snake" was released at the end of November. After its release, the box office performance was very good, exceeding 1 million Hong Kong dollars in five days. After half a month of release, the box office reached 2.7 million Hong Kong dollars.

At that time, if a movie had a box office of over one million, it was considered a hit.

The entire investment of "Snake" did not exceed 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, but the box office of 2.7 million Hong Kong dollars can be said to have made Zhu Mu a huge profit.

What's more, at that time, Hong Kong films were marketed throughout East Asia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea... Hong Kong films were popular in many regions, and the box office in other places was higher than that in Hong Kong.

Therefore, from this movie alone, Zhu Mu could easily earn two million Hong Kong dollars. And that was two million Hong Kong dollars in the 1970s. He could buy four thousand-square-foot houses in the Mid-Levels luxury area.

Counting now, the purchasing power of two million can reach almost 200 million.

Therefore, Zhu Mu was naturally very happy and did not hesitate to condescend to come to Beijing to pick up Xiang Nan in person. Moreover, as soon as they met, he gave Xiang Nan 50,000 Hong Kong dollars as a bonus.

He didn't expect the movie to be such a hit. He thought it would be great if Xiang Nan, a newcomer, could sell 7 or 8 million at the box office.

Therefore, the salary he set for Xiang Nan was also low, only 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. For mainlanders, 20,000 Hong Kong dollars is naturally a lot, and they may not be able to earn it in a lifetime. But for artists in Hong Kong, this price is just It's on the low side.

In the mid-1970s, Jackie Chan signed a contract with Luo Wei's film company. If he didn't film for a month, he would receive a fixed salary of 3,000 Hong Kong dollars. When filming "Snake", the salary was 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, which Wu Siyuan said was very cheap.

What's more, Xiang Nan has become an instant hit. If he doesn't get a little extra remuneration, the company won't be able to bear it if he doesn't shoot well during the filming. He spends three days fishing and two days showing off the Internet.

Therefore, as soon as they met, Zhu Mu first gave Xiang Nan 50,000 Hong Kong dollars to please him.

Xiang Nan naturally wouldn't refuse if he had the money.

…

"Ning Wei, what do you think we should shoot in the next movie?" Zhu Mu asked.

He no longer dared to underestimate this young man.

The success of the movie "Snake" has proved Xiang Nan's ability. It is really rare to find such an all-round artist who can act, fight, and edit.

There has only been one person in the history of the Hong Kong film industry, and that is Bruce Lee. No wonder Xiang Nan is confident that he does not want to be the second Bruce Lee.

"Of course I will pursue the victory and continue to make action movies." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "This is a new script I wrote. Take a look."

Zhu Mu took it and took a look and saw two big words on the cover - "Drunken Master".

He flipped through it carefully and kept praising it, "Okay, well written, really well written. Ning Wei, your talent is really amazing. I didn't misjudge the person."

Xiang Nan smiled.

When Zhu Mu chose him, he was indeed the right one. He was the only one in the world.

"Since there's nothing wrong with it, let's hurry up and take the photo." He said, "I'll be able to catch up with the start of school after the photo shoot."

Zhu Mu nodded.

…

The filming of "Drunken Master" began immediately, and the original cast and crew were basically used.

The protagonist Xiang Nan, the supporting actors Yuan Xiaoqing, Huang Zhengli, Shi Tian, ​​and the martial arts instructor is Yuan Heping.

Xiang Nan came to Hong Kong to film on December 20th, and the filming was done in the countryside of the New Territories.

Just halfway through filming, the family sent a telegram that Xiang Nan was admitted to the School of Foreign Languages ​​of Yenching University with extremely high scores.

Such results, such a school, and such a major made both Ning Weiguo and Qi Aihong very happy.

They didn't expect their son to do so well in the exam, and thought that practicing martial arts for so many years had delayed his studies. They originally thought that even if Xiang Nan took the junior college exam, they would be satisfied.

Yuying Middle School was also a sensation. Although many students from their school were admitted to college, Xiang Nan's performance was still a bit unexpected.

After all, in everyone's eyes, he is a warrior. In people's impression, he has well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

Who would have thought that he could still be admitted to college, and he was admitted to Peking University with nearly perfect scores, which really surprised everyone.

But Cong Shan was not surprised. She had known that Xiang Nan was not as rude as people thought. He was actually a very talented, intelligent, and thoughtful person, and he was far smarter than everyone thought.

.

The crew of "Drunken Master" were also surprised when everyone heard that Xiang Nan was admitted to Peking University.

At that time, there were not many highly educated people in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong. Not to mention those who had gone to college, even those who had gone to high school were considered highly educated.

People like Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuan Heping have been acting since they were in elementary school, and they didn't even finish elementary school. So Xiang Nan, a college student, is quite powerful, and naturally people take a higher look at him.

…

"Young fellow, you're not bad. Yenching University is one of the best schools." Yuan Xiaoming said with admiration.

Peking University was already a well-known university in the country during the Republic of China. Naturally, Yuan Xiaoqing had heard of its name.

The idea that everything is of inferior quality but only good at education has already penetrated into the bone marrow of the Chinese people. As long as they can go to school and have a promising future, no one will let their children learn drama or martial arts.

Therefore, he admired and envied Xiang Nan very much for being admitted to a prestigious school like Peking University.

"Thank you for the compliment, old man." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and smiled.

"You still have to go to college in the future and don't stay in the entertainment industry." Yuan Xiaoming suggested again, "No one can be good for a thousand days, and a flower can be prosperous for a hundred days. As artists, they all feed off their youth, and they won't be popular for a few years. It's better.

Go to school and find a job, which will be enough for a lifetime."

"Yes, you are right, you are speaking from experience." Xiang Nan nodded.

Being an artist is indeed not a stable career. A drama can become popular quickly if it becomes popular, and similarly, if a drama fails, it can also become popular quickly. Throughout the ages, there have been countless similar examples.

So if there were other better ways out, people at that time did not recommend entering the entertainment industry.

Unlike in mainland China today, the entertainment industry is a gold mine. Even the 18th and 18th-tier young artists can earn hundreds of thousands a year. Anyone who is somewhat famous can easily earn tens of millions a year. Therefore, those rich people are scrambling to raise their children.
