Chapter 1796 1798 [Special Transaction]

  In May, Xiang Nan returned to Beijing and attended the graduation ceremony.

  To be honest, although he has been in college for four years, he hasn't even lived a day of college life, which is really a pity.

   But having said that, there are many opportunities to go to college, but the golden period of Xiangjiang movies is only a dozen years, and it is really a pity to miss it.

  So Xiang Nan doesn't regret it.

   After graduation, Xiang Nan does not need to accept the state assignment like other students.

   On the day he received his graduation certificate, he left the capital by plane and returned to the United States.

   Now that the "Die Hard" project is under preparation, Xiang Nan, as the screenwriter and starring role, still enjoys a certain right to speak.

  At the very least, he can give his own opinion on the choice of actors.

  Of course, it's hard to say whether people will listen.

   As for the heroine, Xiang Nan has multiple options in his hands.

For example, Jamie Curtis, the heroine of "Moonlight Panic", Michelle Pfeiffer, the star of "Hollywood Knight", Kim Cattrall, the star of "School Probation", and the star of "Flying on the Branches". Starring Daryl Hannah and more.

  He thinks these actresses are all good.

Jamie Curtis is known as the scream queen. Classic movies such as "Moonlight Panic", "A Fish Called Wanda", "True Lies", and "Knives Out" are still active on the stage, and It is the older the more popular.

  Michelle Pfeiffer, a beautiful girl with blonde hair and white skin, is the most classic image of American beauty. Nearly 60 years old, she was also written by Brother Mars in his hit song "Uptown Funk", which shows her great charm.

   "Scarface" and "Batman Returns" are her most classic masterpieces, and she also plays the first generation Wasp in the Marvel universe.

  Kim Cattrall, a beauty from the British Isles, her acting career was not smooth in the early stage. Although she starred in blockbuster films such as "Police Academy" and "Demons in Chinatown", she was not outstanding.

   It wasn't until 1987 when he starred in "Spirited" that he became famous in one fell swoop. In the 1990s, she participated in one of the most classic works in the history of American TV dramas - "The City in the Bath", in which she played the unruly Samantha Jones, and thus she truly became a top Hollywood star.

   Daryl Hannah is not well known these days. But in the future, she will star in "Blade Runner", "Mermaid", "Wall Street", "Steel Magnolia", "Kill Bill" and so on. She was also a first-line movie star in Hollywood.

  Xiang Nan has watched many Hollywood movies and TV series, and is quite familiar with these actresses, so it is difficult to choose now.

  …

   "Charles, who do you think is the most eye-catching?" Producer Mario Caesar asked Xiang Nandao.

  The previous producer, Wood Heathrow, did not cooperate well with Xiang Nan, so Xiang Nan kicked him out of the production of "Die Hard" this time.

  Mario Caesar did not want to repeat the same mistakes, so he accommodated Xiang Nan as much as possible within the allowed range. In this way, not only the quality of the film can be guaranteed, but also the relationship between him and Xiang Nan can be guaranteed.

   "I need to think about it again." Xiang Nan really had a hard time making up his mind, after all, these actors are all good, and they all feel quite suitable.

  To be honest, if it wasn't for Brooke Shields who was only sixteen years old and really didn't look like a working girl, he would have given her this opportunity. After all, we have cooperated for a long time and have a tacit understanding with each other.

   Besides, men are always willing to give more preferential treatment to women who like them.

   "Okay, then go back and think about it carefully, and give me an answer within a week." Mario said to Xiang Nan.

  Xiang Nan nodded.

  …

  After dinner in the evening, Xiang Nan returned to the hotel room, took out the pen and paper from the insurance, and continued to write his script.

  He is now writing the screenplay for "Ghostbusters," which was released in 1984. After its launch, it became extremely popular. It was the first horror-comedy film to gross over $100 million in the United States.

   Afterwards, this series also launched two sequels. Although the box office results were not as good as the first one, they were still quite valuable IPs.

  What Xiang Nan wants to do now is to collect high-value IP as much as possible into his own hands.

   In this way, not only can he make himself popular, but when he owns a film company in the future, he can turn all these IPs into wealth.

  I was writing when I heard a knock on the door.

  Xiang Nan put away the pen and paper, then came to the door, looked through the cat's eyes, and saw a strange middle-aged man standing in front of the door with a standard salesman-like smile on his face.

  Xiang Nan blinked, then opened the door, "Who are you looking for?"

   "Hi, Charles, let me introduce myself. My name is Ben Jackson and I am an agent." He said with a familiar smile.

   Xiang Nan nodded, "If you want to sign me, then I'm sorry, I already have an agent."

   "I know." Ben smiled, "Although I really want to sign you, the purpose of my coming today is not for this matter."

   "Then what are you doing for it?" Xiang Nan asked doubtfully.

"I'm here for the heroine of Die Hard." Ben explained with a smile, "I know you have the right to recommend, and the artist I serve happens to be on the list of candidates, so I hope you can consider recommending Let her."

   "..." Xiang Nan was taken aback.

  Ben Jackson is well informed. How does he know which artists are selected, and how does he know that he has the right to recommend?

   "Why should I help you?" he asked afterward.

  There is no such thing as a free lunch. "Die Hard" is a major production with an investment of over ten million dollars. Although the heroine has a small role, she is still the heroine, so the competition is quite fierce.

   Such an important role is easily given to others, Xiang Nan is not that stupid.

   "As long as you agree to recommend her, I will let her accompany you for a month." Ben Jackson said with a smile, "Since my artist can be shortlisted, it shows that she has enough strength.

   Even if you recommend her, it will not affect the quality of the movie. Moreover, as long as you promise to recommend, no matter whether you are selected or not, I will keep your promise. "

  After hearing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help blinking.

  He has heard that Hollywood also has so-called unspoken rules, called Casting Couch or red sofa. Many artists have to make sacrifices in order to get the opportunity to perform.

  However, Xiang Nan became popular with just one movie and gained a foothold smoothly, so he didn't have to make such a big sacrifice like those artists.

   And this is the first time he has encountered such a thing. I have to say that it has really broadened his horizons.

  Although he really wanted to know which artist Ben Jackson was serving. But seeing how familiar he is, it's not hard to imagine how rich the artist's experience is.

   No matter how well-known and beautiful such an artist is, in essence, he is no different from those special industries. It's nothing more than a high fee and a low fee.

   Xiang Nan has never been interested in this kind of people.

   "Enough, I don't want to listen anymore, go out~" Xiang Nan pointed at the door and said.

   "You really don't think about it anymore?" Ben Jackson said, "I haven't even said her name yet."

   "That's enough, if you don't want your artist to lose the selection, then leave immediately." Xiang Nan scolded, he didn't want to stain his ears.

  Ben Jackson had no choice but to retire.
