Xiang Nan's performance made both Yang Azhou and Feng Gong very satisfied.

"Mr. Yuan, you performed very well. We will consider you for the role of Wumin." Yang Anzhou said with a smile, "You go back and make more preparations and learn Jinmen dialect. At the latest within half a month , we’ll give you the news.”

Xiang Nan nodded.

He knows that the audition is not that simple. It does not mean that you can be selected with good acting skills and a suitable image. During the period, there are also games of various forces, favors, capital, backdoors...

Not to mention just passing the audition, even if you are already in the group, you may be kicked out.

"Director Yang, Teacher Feng, I'll be waiting for your good news." Xiang Nan smiled and shook hands with them, and then left the set with Yan Fan.

"Yuan Shuai, your acting skills are really good." Yan Fan said with admiration, "I even feel like you are inferior."

She graduated from a military arts program and came from a major. After graduation, she acted in dramas for seven or eight years, and she felt that her acting skills were already outstanding. I can't say that she was at the top of her game, but at least she was far better than the rookies who had just entered the industry.

But now that she saw Xiang Nan's audition scene just now, the appeal and explosive power made her feel overwhelmed.

A rookie who has just entered the industry and has just started to learn acting, the acting skills displayed are more proficient, more sophisticated and more delicate than hers. It is really amazing.

"Sister Yan, your acting skills are quite good. In fact, I think you are very suitable for the role of Zhang Ermin. Why don't you try it out too." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yan Wei smiled bitterly and said, "I have inquired about it a long time ago. Ding Jiali has already been selected for the role of Er Min. No matter how good my acting skills are, I can't compare with them."

When Xiang Nan heard this, he nodded.

Ding Jiali won two Golden Rooster Awards, one Hundred Flowers Award, and one Plum Blossom Award, which shows how outstanding her acting skills are. Although Yan Fan is also an actor, compared to her, she is indeed slightly inferior.

Furthermore, Ding Jiali debuted in the 1980s and is now a first-line artist in mainland China. In terms of popularity, Yan Fan is even worse. So it is normal that she cannot compete.

"It's okay, Sister Yan, don't be discouraged. If you keep working hard, you will always have a chance." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"I'm almost thirty, how can I have a chance?" Yan Fan said with a wry smile.

There are still opportunities when you are young, but what opportunities can you have when you are old?

"Who said that!" Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Look at how beautiful you are, how elegant you are, and how well you maintain your figure. If I say you are in your prime years, I am definitely making it up, but if you say you are in your prime years, Not an exaggeration at all.”

"You're just kidding me~" Yan Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"I only coax you as a puppy~" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Sister, to tell you the truth, I think Qiu Ya is a step behind compared to you."

"Stop talking nonsense. Qiu Ya is so young and beautiful, how can she be inferior to an old woman like me?" Yan Fan said with a smile.

"It's just that I can't compare. I can't compare with my appearance, my figure, my temperament. Especially my personality, it's even worse. I'm frizzy and self-centered. How can I be as gentle, considerate, virtuous and capable as you." Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "Sister, why don't I kick her out and you become my girlfriend."

Whoosh!

Yan's hands trembled, and the car made a snake shape and almost hit the railing.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If I were older, I could be your mother." She scolded with a red face.

"Hey, these days, the more sincere your words are, the less likely they will be believed." Xiang Nan shook his head and sighed.

"Stop pretending. There are so many young and beautiful girls around you, I don't believe you can really set your sights on an old woman like me!" Yan Fan rolled her eyes at him.

"Really, sister, I just like mature people." Xiang Nan smiled, "I'm really not too fond of those little girls who don't understand people."

"Ah bah~"

…

In the following days, Maimiao Records has selected twelve good songs for Xiang Nan, including "Free as the Wind", "In a Foreign Country", "Border of Lake Baikal", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", "Chasing Dreams"

"Innocent Heart" and so on, they all belong to campus ballads, pop rock, etc. The themes are love, dreams, freedom, and cater to the tastes of young people.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, in the record market, young people will always be the main force of consumption. Whoever can win the love of young people can achieve the best sales.

On the one hand, Xiang Nan's previous album "To Youth" was very popular, so the second album continued the folk song and pop rock route, and it was easy to replicate the success of the first album.

Xiang Nan is also very supportive of Maimiao Records’ decision.

He is only eighteen years old this year and can still pretend to be young for a few more years. There is really no need to rush into transformation.

Besides, transformation is not necessarily a good thing.

Fan Xiaoxuan no longer wanted to follow the sweet and cute little witch route, and sang "Health Song", "Brushing Tooth Song", and "I Love Bathing" again. She transformed in 1999 and started singing jazz and rock. As a result, her popularity dropped sharply, and she became famous all over the country.

His idol soon became Cha Wu.

After the songs are selected, you need to find someone to arrange them.

Arranging and composing are different.

Composition is "from scratch", creating the main melody, beat and main tone out of thin air.

The arrangement is [from simple to complex]. On the basis of the composition, chords, decorative sounds, etc. are added to meet the needs of emotional expression.

It is worth mentioning that the copyright of a song belongs only to the composer and lyricist, and the two share the copyright and royalties equally.

As for the arranger, he only charges a certain fee for arranging the music, but he does not enjoy the copyright of the song, let alone a share of the royalties.

Xiang Nan can copy the main melody, but he can't copy the arrangement, so he has to leave it to professionals.

In order to ensure the quality of Xiang Nan's second album, Maimiao Records specially invited musicians from Taiwan to arrange the twelve songs in the album.

This cost an extra 200,000 RMB, which shows that Maimiao Records attaches great importance to Xiang Nan.

…

"Why don't you guys start beating me up?" Xiang Nan smiled and greeted Miao Pu and Pan Yuchen on the Beijing Film Academy campus.

Hearing his weird accent, Miao Pu and Pan Yuchen couldn't help but smile, "Yuan Hua, what are you doing? Why are you talking like this?"

"Would you mind learning Jinmen dialect?" Xiang Nan explained with a smile, "What do you think? Does it sound authentic?"

"Why are you learning it? Do you want to be from Jinmen, or do you want to learn cross talk?" Pan Yuchen asked doubtfully.

"I didn't audition for the movie "Nothing's Happening" two days ago." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "The director basically cast me to play the role of Wu Min, so I just learned to speak Jinmen dialect now and prepared in advance."

"Really?! I really envy you!" When Miaopu and Pan Yuchen heard this, they couldn't help but envy you.

They are still studying in school, and Xiang Nan has already gone out to film, which is really enviable.

"I'm jealous, it's a small role." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "You will all be like big stars in the future, and you will definitely have more opportunities. Okay, I won't talk to you two anymore, I will practice for a while."

"Yuan Hua, if there is an opportunity to audition in the future, please take us with you." Pan Yuchen said.

She had never heard of the audition for the cast of "Nothing's Happening", and she missed a good opportunity.

After all, unlike Xiang Nan, she has someone to take care of her career and ask for information. She is a student at school, how can she have so much information.

"Hey, don't cause trouble for others." Miao Pu said sheepishly. She didn't want to take advantage of Xiang Nan for no reason.
