The reason why Xiang Nan did not participate in the audition for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was not because he had already joined the crew of "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog".

It's because he knows in his heart that it is impossible for a Hong Kong and Taiwan director like Li An to reuse mainland actors. Even if mainland actors can join his crew, they will just carry the sedan chair for Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.

For example, Li Bingbing, who was already a first-line star in the Mainland at that time, filmed "A Hundred Years of Love", "Mouse Falls in Love with Cat", "Flying Eagle", etc. in Hong Kong, and he was a supporting role or even a villain;

Chen Daoming, a man as big as Chen Daoming, one of the top TV dramas in mainland China, came to Hong Kong to film "Infernal Affairs 3", but he was also just a supporting actor; Zhang Ziyi became famous in the United States with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and went to Hong Kong to film "The Legend of Shushan" , "2046", he still plays a supporting role.

Xiang Nan also heard a rumor. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, he thought it was very reasonable.

The rumor is that the director of Xiangjiang cooperates with Taiwanese capital to help Hong Kong and Taiwan artists gain popularity by recruiting mainland actors, and then harvest the mainland market.

The most typical example is "Red Cliff". Zhao Wei, Hu Jun, Hou Yong, Tong Dawei, Xiao Songjia... a large number of mainland first-line actors, who have good looks, acting skills and fame, can only play supporting roles in the film.

In comparison, Lin Zhiling, a model with no acting skills, was the heroine in the film, and her role was extremely heavy.

The so-called rumors may not be without reason. This kind of thing is still worthy of vigilance.

That's why Xiang Nan doesn't bother to be a stepping stone for others.

No matter how much investment there is in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", no matter how sophisticated the production is, no matter how strong the cast is, and no matter how famous the director is, it has nothing to do with him.

…

Xiang Nan is still busy auditioning for actors in "The Mountain That Man That Dog".

To be honest, he really found a lot of good ideas.

For example, Gao Yuanyuan, Ma Yili, Hai Qing, Tao Hong, Li Xiaoran, Li Bingbing, Hao Lei, Huang Yi, Dong Xuan, Chen Shu, etc.

They were all very interested in starring in the film.

First of all, director Huo Jianqi has directed "Winner" and "Singer" before. Although the box office is not high, he is well regarded by the industry.

Secondly, in the 1990s, the film and television drama market was in a slump. It was already very rare for actors to have a film to film, and they had no choice at all.

Thirdly, the cast of "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is pretty good. The male lead, Xiang Nan, and the second male lead, Teng Rujun, are both well-known entertainers.

Xiang Nan, in particular, starred in "Nothing Happens", which just earned tens of millions at the box office, and then starred in "My Father and Mother" directed by Zhang Yimou. He is like a rising star. Naturally, some people are willing to cooperate with him.

There were so many beauties participating in the audition that Xiang Nan couldn't help but be spoiled for choice. After further contact, he finally chose Gao Yuanyuan.

Firstly, her image is fresh and natural, which is more in line with the characteristics of a mountain girl; secondly, Xiang Nan also likes her in the real world, and now working with her can make her dream come true; thirdly, Gao Yuanyuan likes music, and she is still his little girl. Fanmei is familiar with every one of his songs. Even the song "The Girl Opposite Looks Over" has not been officially released yet, so she has collected them all.

Since everyone you work with is cooperation, why not choose someone you like and who also likes you.

…

After the audition of "That Mountain That Man That Dog" is over, the program team will officially set off for filming in western Hunan.

Before leaving, Xiang Nan exchanged feelings with Qiu Ya and Miao Pu respectively.

Miao Pu was very reluctant to leave Xiang Nan again.

He was separated from her for half a year while filming "My Father and Mother". Although they met several times in the meantime, the time was still too little. Men and women in love can't wait to be together every day.

Now that they have just reunited, he has to go to Xiangxi to film a movie again. This time he doesn't know how long he will have to go, so naturally she is very reluctant to part with him.

"There's nothing we can do about it. This is what our industry is like. We live in different places, we gather less and we are more separated. You have to get used to it." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"I wish I could go with you. Unfortunately, I didn't succeed in the audition." Miao Pu said regretfully.

She also auditioned for "That Mountain That Man That Dog" but was rejected in the first round.

Xiang Nan nodded.

Miao Pu was slandered because he did it on purpose. He finally went to Xiangxi to film a movie. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Why should he keep her with him again?

"So you have to study harder." He immediately comforted him, "When you learn it and your acting skills are excellent, then you will naturally be able to cooperate with me."

"Yeah." Miao Pu nodded, "Then you should be careful outside."

"Don't worry, I can do it." Xiang Nan smiled.

…

As for Qiu Ya, she is very supportive of Xiang Nan's filming, "Yuan Hua, go ahead, you must perform well and create a high box office again."

"Why, are you so willing to let me leave?" Xiang Nan asked suspiciously when he saw this.

Although Qiu Ya was not clingy, which made him relieved, but being so ignored also made him slightly unhappy.

"Of course not. But I know you are here for your career, so how can I hold you back." Qiu Ya waved her hand and explained.

Xiang Nan nodded.

Qiu Ya indeed puts more emphasis on career than relationship.

In the movie, she was devoted to urging Charlotte to start a career. Even though he couldn't write any songs, she still urged him to write songs and sell them everywhere. Whenever Charlotte wrote a new song, she was happy, and whenever he couldn't write a song, she was happy.

When she came out, she had a long face.

"Having said that, I still hope you can be more affectionate." Xiang Nan smiled, "This will at least make me feel that there is still affection between us, rather than a relationship of interests."

When Qiu Ya heard this, her face suddenly stiffened, and she quickly smiled awkwardly and said, "Where did you think of it? Of course I love you. I love you so much that I go crazy. There are so many boys in school chasing me, but I don't pay any attention to it."

Theirs.”

"I hope you are telling the truth." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Otherwise, if I know you lied to me, you won't even be able to take advantage of a penny of my tens of millions of assets."

"Ten million assets?!" Upon hearing this, Qiu Ya's eyes widened.

With a net worth of tens of millions, he was definitely considered wealthy at the time.

"That's right." Xiang Nan nodded. If you include the antiques he acquired, it's not unusual for the oil painting to be worth over 100 million. "You can weigh it yourself."

Qiu Ya immediately hugged Xiang Nan's arm tenderly, "How about you stay for a few more days, and I'll ask for leave to accompany you properly."

"No need, just remember your identity." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

…

As for Zhang Ziyi, after returning from Donggou, he lost contact with Xiang Nan.

He didn't answer the phone and didn't reply to his text messages. It was as if he had disappeared from the world, which made Xiang Nan quite confused.

However, he is not the kind of man who is obsessed with stalking. There is no grass anywhere in the world, so why fall in love with a flower unrequitedly.

What's more, she is not the target of the mission. There is no need for him to stick to her.
