Despite being pestered by Zhou Xun in every possible way, Xiang Nan still did not accept her.

The more infatuated a good girl is, the less he wants to hurt her.

However, in the days that followed, Xiang Nan's attitude towards Zhou Xun became much better.

Not only often ask her to eat together, drink, skewers, but also sing her songs that cannot appear in his albums. For example, "I eat fried chicken in the People's Square", "Killing the International Towns", "College Student self -study self -study

Room" and so on.

These creative songs made Zhou Xun very fond of him, and he became more and more admired for his talent. He looked at him like a fanatic looking at God.

As long as God gives the command, we are ready to dedicate ourselves at any time.

However, Xiang Nan couldn't bear to harm her, so he never took that step.

…

While filming "Love Across Time and Space", Xiang Nan also received an invitation from "Young Man Bao Qingtian 2".

However, after reading the script, he was not very satisfied.

Not only is the setting of each case not detailed enough, and it doesn’t have the suspenseful and engaging feeling of the first film, but there are also too many emotional dramas.

The first part of "Young Boy Bao Qingtian" is mainly about detective work, supplemented by love. The second part of "Young Boy Bao Qingtian" is reversed, mainly about love, and supplemented by detective work.

There are more love scenes than detective scenes. The key love scenes are also poorly set up, and there are always misunderstandings, coincidences, and the routine is too old.

Therefore, after Xiang Nan considered it, he declined the crew's invitation.

In fact, even if the script is good, he doesn't have a schedule.

Song Bing is helping him prepare for his Asian tour. He will go to Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, and there will be almost 100 shows. The revenue of each show is 1 million yuan, which is 100 million yuan.

With so much money, Xiang Nan would not miss it.

…

In November, "Love Across Time and Space" officially wrapped.

Xiang Nan immediately launched the Youth Asia Tour.

At the same time, To Youth Pictures also signed a distribution agreement with Bona Pictures, handing over the film "Waiting Alone" to Bona Pictures for distribution.

Bona Pictures was founded by Yu Dong in 1999. Before that, he was the deputy section chief of the distribution department of Beijing Film Studio.

In 1993, the mainland reformed the film industry. Seven companies, including Beijing Film Studio, Children's Film Studio, Film Equipment Center, and Movie Channel Program Center, merged to form China Film Corporation in 1999.

Yu Dong was also included in the merger, and after the merger, his deputy section chief of the distribution department was dismissed. So in anger, he resigned and started his own business, borrowing 300,000 yuan to start Bona Pictures.

The first movie released was "Tell Your Secret" directed by Huang Jianxin. In the end, the movie box office was 8 million, and he earned 500,000, which was his first pot of gold.

Since then, Bona Pictures has been developing better and better, and is known as the Miramax of the mainland. This spring, it was responsible for the distribution of "My Brothers and Sisters", which had a box office of 23 million.

The reason why Xiang Nan chose to cooperate with Bona was because of Yu Dong's fierceness.

In order to release "Waiting Alone", he called Xiang Nan almost every day from September to November. The degree of persistence even moved Xiang Nan.

Therefore, I finally chose to cooperate with him.

"Waiting Alone" is scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year. This year, Feng Xiaogang has failed to make movies as he did in previous years. Therefore, "Waiting Alone" can just fill this gap.

…

In November, Xiang Nan launched an Asian tour, with the first stop being the Yanjing Capital Gymnasium.

It has been two years since the last time Xiang Nan held a tour. In the past two years, Xiang Nan has released a large number of songs, and his popularity has become more popular than before.

Because of this, concert tickets can be said to be hard to come by. Originally, the lowest ticket price was only two hundred yuan, but in the end, scalpers sold it to one thousand yuan, which is a five-fold increase.

This also shows how popular Xiang Nan is.

Also starting at the same time as his Asian tour was "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" which he co-starred with Jia Jingwen, Liu Yijun, Chen Daoming and others half a year ago.

This TV series was launched on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV in mid-November, and immediately set off a wave of ratings boom. The highest ratings were 8.3%, which is a very good result.

Liu Che, played by Xiang Nan, was considered by the audience to be very regal, with every gesture and gesture, he made Liu Che, the young emperor and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, come to life.

But in fact, the reason why Xiang Nan acted so well is because he has enough understanding of the character.

After inheriting Ji Xiaolan's knowledge, Xiang Nan has a deep understanding of the history of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the Han court, no less than a historian. The more he understands the characters, the easier he will be when acting.

Moreover, whenever the plot in the play involves writing, painting, playing the piano, etc., the actors are usually just asked to pretend, and then the stand-in completes the work.

Although this kind of shooting technique is very mature and not very good at cheating, it will still affect the quality of the TV series. After all, the audience is not stupid. If you use panoramic shots for actors and close-up shots for claps, everyone will know that a substitute is used.

Xiang Nan, on the other hand, does not use a stand-in at all. He writes, paints, and plays the piano all by himself, which is very rare. To be honest, if it is shot like this, the picture will look very good.

As a result, the show was a great success.

…

In December, with the Lunar New Year season approaching, Bona Pictures started its promotion.

""Waiting Alone", Xiang Nan's masterpiece, makes me laugh out loud!"

""Waiting Alone", highly recommended by 120 film critics, is the best urban romantic comedy in China."

""Waiting Alone" is dedicated to everyone who slips away from you~"

""Waiting Alone", Xiang Nan's most daring performance since his debut~"

Bona has been advertised in newspapers, magazines, television, and even on the Internet.

Yu Dong believed that this movie was comparable to Feng Xiaogang's comedies, so he spent a lot of money on promoting it.

According to him, the publicity cost was as high as 3 million yuan.

Regardless of whether what he said is true or false, in short, the publicity effect is still good.

As soon as "Waiting Alone" was released on December 18th, it achieved very good box office results.

In theaters in many places, audiences queued up to buy tickets, and the demand for tickets on the first day exceeded the supply.

After watching this movie, the audience's evaluation was pretty good.

Some thought that although it was not as funny as Feng's comedy, it was acceptable; some were moved by the love in the film; and some cheered excitedly that the mainland finally had a decent urban romance film...

After watching this movie, many young friends became a favorite and spontaneously recommended this movie to their friends, relatives, and netizens. As a result, the movie became more and more famous and its box office performance became better and better.

By the time the schedule was released in February 2003, the total box office had reached 35 million. After taking into account taxes paid, theater shares, distribution commissions, publicity expenses, etc., in the end, Zhichun Pictures received 960 million

One hundred thousand yuan.

Compared with the cost of more than 3 million yuan, it is definitely a profit. In addition to the copyright sold to TV stations, overseas distribution rights, etc., Xiang Nan finally made a net profit of 12 million yuan, which is a very good result.

.

More importantly, the success of this movie directly proves Xiang Nan's box office appeal. It also proves that it is feasible to invest in making movies by yourself.
