Chapter 1448 1450 [Kylin Films]

   "Why do you want me to play a peasant woman?" Gong Li said dissatisfiedly flipping through the script.

   "Do you think it's so easy to win the award?" Xiang Nan smiled and said, "If you don't go all out, break the inherent impression of the judges, and make them shine, how can you make them vote willingly?"

   In order to win the Academy Award, Xiao Lizi has suffered enough in "The Revenant". Unkempt, braving the wind and snow, enduring hunger and hunger... Contributed disfigured acting skills, so that the judges were satisfied.

In order to win the Academy Award, Charlize Theron also sacrificed a lot in "The Devil". Not only did she gain 30 pounds, but she also wore no makeup throughout the entire process, dressing herself up in an ugly way, making it unrecognizable It turned out that the ugly woman on the screen was actually Charlize who turned all sentient beings upside down.

  Gong Li listened and nodded, not so much resentment.

   "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" was then prepared to start filming in the land of Sanqin.

  Xiang Nan invested 8 million RMB for this, not too much, but definitely not too much.

  He also specially sent Ouyang Fenqiang to be the producer of "A Lawsuit by Qiu Ju", responsible for controlling funds.

   In 1988, Ouyang Fenqiang was admitted to the Jinling Academy of Arts, majoring in drama and performance.

   But after attending for a year, he felt that he hadn't made much progress in acting.

   On the one hand, he has a baby face and is too short, so his acting is limited; on the other hand, his acting is already fixed.

   During the three years of filming "Dream of Red Mansions", he followed Jia Baoyu all the way in his acting. Except for this character, he doesn't have a deep understanding of other characters. But Jia Baoyu has only been like this for five thousand years, and it is impossible for him to meet such a suitable role again.

  So when he was a sophomore, he changed his major to directing, planning to work harder in this area.

   In 1992, after graduating from university, he was assigned to work in Jinling Film Studio. However, he finally went to sea and chose to come to the capital to make a living.

  Because state-owned factories like Jinling Film Factory are now ranked based on seniority, as a young man who just entered the factory, if he wants to take his turn to film, he will have to sit on the bench for at least ten years.

   Therefore, after thinking about it, Ouyang Fenqiang decided to come to the capital to try his luck.

   It just so happened that Xiang Nan's Qilin Films had just opened and was recruiting people, so he immediately came to join him.

  Xiang Nan asked him to be the producer of "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" because he wanted him to learn more from Zhang Yimou. Even if he learns a thing, he can even go to the mainland entertainment industry.

  In addition, Chen Xiaoxu entered Renyi after graduation, and Yuan Mei was hired by the China TV Drama Production Center after graduation, both of which are considered good jobs.

  Deng Jie and Zhang Guoli got married in 1991 when they collaborated on "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo". Now we are floating in the capital together.

  After Xiang Nan founded Kylin Films, he plans to gradually recruit these talents under his command, and then they can make money together.

  …

  In August 1993, Feng Xiaogang made a comeback and made persistent efforts to direct the film "My Love Is Forever Lost" adapted from Wang Yi's novel. Wang Zhiwen is the lead actor, and Xu Fan and Juxue are the heroines.

  This film is invested by Wang Yi, Ma Weidu and other cooperative Haima Film and Television Company. The script combines two novels by Wang Yi, "The Stewardess" and "My Love Is Never Lost".

   It is about Su Kai, a warm and humorous young man who falls in love at first sight with flight attendant Lingege. But just when the two were in love, Su Kai suddenly learned that he was suffering from [Ascension Frost Syndrome], in order not to hurt Ling Gege, so he reluctantly broke up with her.

  Gege’s friend Yang Yan was very upset about Gege at first, until she learned the truth and fell in love with this brave and kind man...

  In general, this script is still very vulgar. Terminal illness, love triangle, and amnesia in a car accident, the three major clichés of Korean dramas are complete.

  However, Xiang Nan is more optimistic about this movie. After all, people nowadays are so superficial, that kind of affection, love, must be welcomed.

  …

  In October 1993, "Jurassic Park", written by Xiang Nan, directed by Spielberg, starring Sam Neal and Xu Qing, and supporting Gong Li, was officially released.

   Due to the huge investment of 60 million in this movie, in order to recover the cost, Universal Pictures did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on publicity before the official release.

  Newspapers, magazines, TV, station posters, theater posters, all major platforms have created public opinion to let everyone know that the Tyrannosaurus rex is coming!

  The overwhelming publicity has created a lot of momentum. Therefore, when the movie was released, a large number of audiences flocked to the theater to find out.

   And the high quality of the movie really lives up to everyone's expectations.

  The story of "Jurassic Park" is thrilling and exciting, with climaxes and adrenaline rushing at any time. In particular, the dinosaurs produced by computer special effects are lifelike from head to head, bringing audiences an unparalleled audio-visual enjoyment.

   Because of this, the audience who watched it all cheered and were hooked, and because of this, its box office naturally skyrocketed. The box office exceeded 70 million US dollars in the first week, breaking the box office record created by "Terminator 2".

  In the end, in North America alone, it set a box office of 340 million U.S. dollars, and the overseas box office also reached 850 million U.S. dollars, making it the highest-grossing movie in history.

  Although in the movie, the dinosaur is the real protagonist. However, the botanist played by Xu Qing and the biologist played by Gong Li still gained a certain degree of exposure.

   This also allowed them to start receiving some Hollywood film contracts. But to be honest, most of them are supporting roles, and the character design is not outstanding. More importantly, even for such a role, they still need to audition and compete step by step.

  Therefore, Xiang Nan directly refused for them.

   "It's not worth being so humble, being picked and picked for a small role." He persuaded Gong Li and Xu Qing, "If you want to go to Hollywood to film, just come to me."

  The box office explosion of "Jurassic Park" has made him the hottest screenwriter in Hollywood now. It's relatively easy for him to cram a few people into the movie. Those film companies are willing to sell him this face.

  Hearing what he said, Gong Li and Xu Qing were very excited.

  In the whole of China, probably only Xiang Nan has the ability to say this.

  Subsequently, with the help of Xiang Nan, Gong Li joined the crew of "Dumb and Dumber" and cooperated with the talented comedian Kim Carrey and Jeff Daniels.

  As for Xu Qing, he joined the crew of "Seven Deadly Sins", cooperating with top Hollywood actor Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.

   This made them both very happy.

  …

  In December of 1993, Feng Xiaogang's "My Love Is Never Lost" was officially released.

   I don't know if it was his bad luck or Wang Yi's bad luck. On the day the movie was released, the Hollywood blockbuster "The Fugitive" also happened to be released. This is the first foreign film to be released on the mainland in the form of box office splits.

  Hollywood blockbusters, action suspense themes, starring Harrison Ford... so many BUFFs added together, it is obviously more attractive than Feng Xiaogang's "Never Lost My Love".

   Therefore, "Forever Lost My Love" failed miserably at the box office, and finally got less than 2 million box office. After excluding the cost, the net loss was 4 million yuan, which made Feng Xiaogang cry again.
