Chapter 1789 1791【Discrimination】

  The rumored hype of Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields, back and forth between real hammer and denial, attracted countless media reports and attracted the attention of countless readers.

  Affected by this, the popularity of "Longwei Boy" also increased sharply, which made the box office performance of this movie also rise linearly.

  Before, the single-day box office was only 500,000 U.S. dollars, but now it has soared to more than 3 million U.S. dollars, a sixfold increase.

   And the production cost of this movie was only four million dollars. Counting distribution costs and publicity costs, it was only tens of millions of dollars.

   Therefore, judging by the current box office, this movie has paid for itself. All future earnings will be net earned. According to the current momentum of movie releases, it is possible for Warner to earn 10 to 20 million US dollars.

  Such achievements are enough for Xiang Nan to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood.

   After all, among the four or five hundred movies that Hollywood releases every year, only half of the cost can be recovered. There is not even a single one that can achieve more than double the profit.

   Therefore, Xiang Nan, who has such a report card in his debut work, has begun to attract the attention of major Hollywood companies. Several well-known Hollywood brokerage companies have started to contact Xiang Nan, hoping to represent his business.

   This group of people belong to the leeches, and they will jump at the sight of blood. In other words, they can take the initiative to come to seek cooperation, which already shows that Xiang Nan has enough value. Otherwise, they simply ignore it.

  Xiang Nan also knows that without the assistance of a brokerage company, relying on his own strength alone, it is very difficult to succeed in Hollywood.

   After all, professional people do professional things. Without the help of a brokerage company to take care of the business, he can't take care of his own business on his own.

  Especially since he will become more and more popular in the future, with so many businesses to discuss, he must be exhausted and paralyzed by himself. So he finally chose to cooperate with CAA, which represents his business in Hollywood.

  CAA is one of the most well-known brokerage companies in the United States. Although it was established relatively late, it has developed the fastest. Many celebrities are under its banner.

   It is worth mentioning that American brokerage companies only help artists manage their business, and their power is not high. Artists have the right to fire their managers at any time.

  …

  After CAA won Xiang Nan's brokerage rights, he immediately helped him contact business. Several crews have offered him olive branches, hoping that he can participate.

  However, Xiang Nan took a look and found that most of these film projects are low-budget films with an investment of several million. Moreover, most of the stories are too clichéd, and there are few works that catch his eyes.

  Of course, there are also one or two major productions with an investment of more than tens of millions of dollars. But the role played by Xiang Nan is not the protagonist, but a small supporting role. In terms of character setting, most of them are villains.

  Xiang Nan knows that this is because his roots are not deep enough, his reputation is not big enough, and his Chinese identity is also a limitation, so those high-quality film projects will not consider himself.

   That's why Xiang Nan wasn't in a hurry to contact the new film.

  Because of the popularity he has accumulated so easily, if the next movie doesn't become popular, then he will be beaten back to his original form and become a penniless entertainer again, so he must not be careless.

   Moreover, Xiang Nan still had some expectations in his heart. If "Longwei Boy" can replicate the box office miracle in real life, it will earn more than 100 million US dollars at the box office.

   At that time, with his achievements, he will definitely win the favor of big projects. So he is also waiting for the opportunity.

  …

  Raymond's late-night show live broadcast.

  Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields sat on the stage and were interviewed by Raymond White.

  Raymond Late Show is a well-known talk show under ABC. The host Raymond White is a senior in the talk show industry and has a high reputation and status in the industry.

   Those who were able to be on this program and interviewed by him were all well-known people.

  Xiang Nan was able to appear on this show, thanks to the scandal hype between him and Brooke Shields. Let him, a newcomer who was originally unknown, suddenly become the focus of public opinion.

   That's why Raymond's late-night show allowed him to appear on the show to promote "Longwei Kid". Otherwise, he would have been disqualified.

  Xiang Nan was also very happy when he saw the promotion of this program.

  Because he knew that the average viewership of this show was more than eight million, and it was one of the more popular late-night talk shows. The status is equivalent to Blue TV's "Run, Brother" and Tomato TV's "Extreme Challenge".

   Being able to be on this show will naturally help to increase his popularity.

  Xiang Nan originally prepared a lot of talents and planned to use this program to show the audience, such as singing, dancing, kung fu and so on.

   You know, he performed a moonwalk in "Longwei Boy". After the movie was released, it caused quite a stir.

  People have never seen such a magical dance step before. It looks like they are walking forward, but they slip backward. This kind of dance is really eye-catching.

   There is also the love song "as long as you love me", which is also a very popular song now. Many people call the radio station to order this song on demand.

  Combined with Xiang Nan's kung fu, going on the show for publicity, there is absolutely no lack of talent, no shortage of hot spots, it must be very interesting.

  …

  But to Xiang Nan's disappointment, Raymond White only focused on interviewing Brooke Shields, but dismissed him who was sitting on the sidelines. He was not given a single question, and he was not given the right to speak at all.

  Even a few times, Brooke Shields tried to bring the topic to Xiang Nan, but he interrupted her.

  Seeing that the twenty-minute interview was coming to an end, Xiang Nan finally understood, "This old boy doesn't want to interview me at all."

  Although he knows that his reputation is indeed worse than Brooke Shields. But such favoritism also made him feel resentful.

   "Fuck, after I become a superstar, if you let me appear on your show, I won't be able to." He thought to himself.

   "Boji, are you and Charles in love?" Raymond White asked with a smile.

   "Actually not, everyone misunderstood, we are just good friends." Brooke Shields waved her hand and said.

   "So it is." Raymond White laughed, "It seems that our American boys don't have to be heartbroken."

  Hearing this sentence, the audience cheered.

  Although the scandal between Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields has been supported by some movie fans, most Americans still oppose this relationship.

  After all, Xiang Nan's identity is Chinese, and Brooke Shields is known as the eighth wonder of the world and the most beautiful girl in the United States. If Xiang Nan chased her, it would really be a flower stuck in cow dung.

Xiang Nan sat on the cold bench all night and was already full of anger. Now that he heard the cheers from the audience, although he tried his best to keep smiling, he couldn't stop cursing in his heart, "Fuck, you actually look down on me. Wait Look, I will soak up all your goddesses, so that you rednecks can only stare~"

  At first, he didn't intend to pick up Brooke Shields, but now he wants to kill her instead.
