In August, filming of "Fast and Furious 3" was completed.

Xiang Nan then returned to Xiangjiang and met with Shanshan and Wang Jing.

Nowadays, whether ATV or Zhen Kung Fu, their development focus is on the mainland, which has also led to a decline in the ratings of ATV in Hong Kong.

However, in terms of revenue, there has been an increase. Last year, ATV's revenue was HK$2 billion. Although the ratings fell this year, the revenue has increased to HK$2.5 billion.

Part of the income comes from the copyright income of YouTube Xiangjiang Station, and part of it comes from the income from mainland TV dramas and variety shows.

Of the fifteen films produced by Zhen Kung Fu Pictures last year, seven were produced by mainland companies, such as "Kill Two Birds with One Stone", "Lovers' Robbery", "The Head", "Beauty Is Still" and so on.

Although the reputation is not satisfactory, the box office is still good.

Xiang Nan also knows that mainland movies have only been commercialized for a few years, and neither the director nor the screenwriter has much experience in making commercial films. He neither knows how to write a screenplay nor how to shoot.

The director of Xiangjiang also does not understand the customs, systems and policies of the Mainland, so when filming, his hands are tied and it is difficult to perform, so it is bound to take a while.

So he wasn't angry about it, but he still reminded Wang Jing to pay attention to the quality of his movies in the future and not to make bad movies all the time.

After all, once the audience develops the concept that "domestic films equal bad films," it will be difficult for domestic films to turn around in the future.

Last year, she starred with Huo Jianhua, Li Yapeng and others in the martial arts drama "The Best in the World" directed by Wang Jing. The drama achieved good ratings in Hong Kong, the Mainland and Taiwan, so Gao Yuanyuan was favored by the director of Hong Kong and was invited to star in it.

"Baby Plan".

Xiang Nan is very impressed by Gao Yuanyuan. Her street photos are all very beautiful and she is known as the "Otaku Goddess". In addition, she starred in "Let's Get Married", "Singles" and other film and television dramas, with high quality.

They are also very good.

"Miss Gao, you are more beautiful in person than on TV." After meeting, Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Ning." Gao Yuanyuan said a little cautiously when seeing Xiang Nan.

"Don't be nervous, we are all from Yanjing, we are fellow villagers." Xiang Nan smiled and said in Yanjing dialect.

Gao Yuanyuan felt a little relaxed after hearing this.
