Save the Bachelor of Heaven

In 1986, Xiang Nan released the last part of the Emperor Trilogy "Emperor Qianlong" in the first half of the year.

After the novel was released, it once again caused a sensation in the literary world, and was praised as an excellent work in modern historical biography, and the Emperor Trilogy was also permanently collected by the National Library.

To Xiang Nan, this can be said to be a great honor.

Xiang Nan was also promoted to a third-level professor because of his outstanding contributions in the field of literature.

Professors are divided into four levels: one, two, three, and four. Among them, the first-level professors are equivalent to the status of academicians, and they are Taishan Beidou in the subject field, which is quite rare. To be elected as a second- and third-level professor is already very remarkable.

Generally speaking, it takes the average person to stay in school to teach, from a teaching assistant to a third-level professor, it takes 20 years, even if they are less than 40 or 50 years old.

Xiang Nan is only thirty-one years old, and he has already been promoted to a third-level professor, which is really remarkable.

...

In the second half of the year, Xiang Nan released the fairy tale book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

After the book was released, it caused a lot of heated discussions.

On the one hand, the story is novel and imaginative, and it is different from previous books; on the other hand, it is written in a foreign country, which makes many readers not used to it.

But even so, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" still achieved very good sales, especially by young readers.

They are too young to understand "Educated Youth Trilogy" and "Emperor Trilogy". At this stage, there are not many children's books in China.

So this "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", although the name is very strange, but because the story is novel, interesting and easy to understand, it is still very popular with them.

According to the last statistics, it still sold more than three million copies. As for piracy, there are even more, and Xiang Nan made another fortune because of this.

More importantly, this book also added many young readers for him. These people may become fans of his books when they grow up. For him, it is undoubtedly excellent.

...

In the second half of the year, in addition to writing books, Xiang Nan also has a part-time job, which is to write scripts for Yanjing Television Art Center.

The TV Art Center was founded in 1983. After its establishment, it has devoted itself to the shooting of TV dramas. The hit "Four Generations Under One Roof" in 1985 was produced and filmed by it.

In the 1980s, domestic TV dramas had just started. In terms of investment scale, production experience, clothing props and many other aspects, they are far behind foreign countries and are very backward.

For example, when "Journey to the West" was filmed, there was only one camera; "Dream of Red Mansions" almost stopped shooting due to insufficient funds, and important chapters such as "Tale of Fantasy" were not filmed due to cost-saving considerations.

However, the fighting spirit of domestic TV drama people is still very high. Although the conditions are limited, they still make TV dramas very hard, and a large number of classics have been born because of this.

Such as "Four Generations Under One Roof", "Waste Time", "The Last Emperor", "Fortress Besieged", "Liaozhai", "Jigong", etc., can all be called classics.

It is also in view of this that Xiang Nan cooperates with them in the production of TV dramas. Otherwise, he wouldn't care about writing scripts and making a lot of money.

...

The first script Xiang Nan wrote for Yanjing Television Art Center was adapted from his novel "Triumph in Midnight". Tell the story of self-defense counterattack.

After the script was completed, the TV Arts Center unanimously approved it, and immediately started filming.

When filming in the capital, Xiang Nan went to visit the crew.

This TV series is directed by You Xiaogang, a very talented director who graduated from the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy. He won the Performance Award and Creation Award of the Ministry of Culture in 1979. Afterwards, the series of Secret History of Emperors became famous in drama history.

As for the leading actors, it is Zhu Lin and Shi Zhaoqi. Zhu Lin plays the role of the king of the Daughter Kingdom in "Journey to the West", and Shi Zhaoqi's most classic work is "Conquer" starring Sun Honglei.

"Professor Cheng, welcome~" Director You greeted him personally.

"Hello Director You, please forgive me for being rude." Xiang Nan smiled.

"Don't dare, dare not, you come, it's too late for us to welcome you." You Xiaogang laughed.

Don't look at him as a director, Xiang Nan is just a screenwriter, which seems to be a bit short. But in fact, a good screenwriter's status in the industry is no worse than that of a director. Such as Gao Mantang, Zou Jingzhi, Liang Zuo, Wang Shuo, Yan Geling, He Jiping and so on.

Especially people like Xiang Nan, who are rare in the literary world, are even more superior. Even if the art center wants to cooperate with others, it has to visit the thatched cottage, visit the door, and talk about it.

So You Xiaogang can only be respectful in front of Xiang Nan.

"Professor Cheng, let me introduce you. This is Shi Zhaoqi, the actor who plays Tong Chuan." You Xiaogang immediately introduced.

"What a tough guy~" Xiang Nan smiled and praised, "It's exactly what I imagine Tong Chuan should be like."

Shi Zhaoqi's external image is relatively tough, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows, sharp eyes, strong body, and a masculine air.

In the 1980s, due to the release of the Dongying movie "The Manhunt", there was a wave of masculine men in the mainland, so rough-looking actors like Shi Zhaoqi were more popular.

"Thank you, Professor Cheng, for your compliment. I will continue to work hard to play this role well." Shi Zhaoqi said loudly.

He is three years younger than Cheng Jianjun. He was in the navy and a policeman before, but later he was transferred and became a theater manager. This filming of "Triumph in Midnight" is his first film.

"Okay, come on." Xiang Nan encouraged with a smile.

"This is our heroine Zhu Lin." You Xiaogang introduced again, "Zhu Lin, this is Professor Cheng Jianjun."

"Professor Cheng, hello~" Zhu Lin extended his hand generously, "I like your work very much, thank you for your visit and guidance."

"Hello Miss Zhu, I also like your works very much." Xiang Nan held her hand with a smile and said, "Journey to the West, the King of the Daughter Kingdom, my daughter likes to read it very much."

"Thank you." Zhu Lin nodded with a smile.

Xiang Nan then withdrew his hand in disappointment.

Since the broadcast of "Journey to the West", Zhu Lin has become the queen in the hearts of countless people because of her role as the king of the daughter country.

Xiang Nan liked this character very much when he was a child. Now when he saw the real person, although he was slightly inferior to the one on TV, she was also a gentle, quiet, elegant and dignified beauty, which made him move his index finger.

"Director You, let's take a photo together~" Xiang Nan then laughed.

You Xiaogang nodded, and then called for someone to help take pictures.

As soon as he yelled, a young man with big yellow teeth and a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks appeared from the crowd, describing a wretched young man, "Director, I'll do it, I'll do it!"

When Xiang Nan saw it, he was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

Isn't this Feng's trousers? How can I run away?
