Chapter 1797 1799 [Michelle Pfeiffer]

  After consideration, Xiang Nan finally chose Michelle Pfeiffer as the heroine of his new film.

  Because among the four candidates, she is the most beautiful one. Back then, she participated in "Batman Returns", playing the **** and charming Catwoman, and I don't know how many audiences were fascinated.

  Her Catwoman posters were even stolen by movie fans to take home as treasures, because so many were stolen that the police had to send special personnel to patrol the neighborhood.

  When Xiang Nan worked with Brooke Shields before, he was opposed by a group of racists, saying that he, a Chinese, was not qualified to play a couple with Bai Nier.

  In this case, he only chooses the most beautiful white girl to **** off those racists.

   Anyway, they will not be his fans, no matter how you try to please them, they will not enter the theater.

   Later, Xiang Nan told Mario Caesar about this decision, and Mario also supported his choice after hearing it.

On the one hand, Michelle Pfeiffer is beautiful enough, with blond hair and blue eyes, and a slim figure, which is seductive enough for the audience; It's a film and television drama, and it still has some fame.

  Thinking comprehensively, he is a good candidate.

  …

  Just as Xiang Nan was preparing for "Die Hard", for Xiangjiang, after the release of the comedy "Flower Heart" directed by Wang Jing, the box office was very hot.

  The total investment of this film is less than one million Hong Kong dollars, but it has achieved a box office score of more than six million Hong Kong dollars, which can be said to be a big profit. Not only did Wang Jing become a popular director, but also the three leading actors, Chen Baixiang, Chow Yun-fat and Zhong Chuhong, all benefited a lot.

  When "Flower Heart" hits theaters, Wang Jing's other drama "A Thousand Men and Eight Generals" also officially started filming, with Chow Yun-fat, Zhong Chuhong, Chen Baixiang and others still playing the leading roles.

  He is so prolific and his grades are so good, it will inevitably attract the attention of the industry.

   And just after the screening of "Flower Heart", "Dragon Ninja", directed and acted by Jackie Chan, was also officially launched.

   This movie is about the era of the Japanese shogunate. The Iga ninjas were ordered by Tokugawa Ieyasu to pretend to be pirates and harass the Ming border. The upper ninja Hayato fights against the middle-earth knight Wang Zongyue, and heroes cherish heroes.

  After that, inspired by Wang Zongyue, Hayato couldn't bear to burn, kill and loot anymore, so he stole the Iga secret treasure Ninjutsu Secret Secret Legend and defected, married a woman, lived in seclusion in the mountains, and didn't care about world affairs.

  The leader of the Iga clan, Hattori Hanzo, sent ninjas to hunt down and kill Hayato, but because Hayato lives in seclusion in the mountains, it has been in vain. A few years later, Hayato has a son, Hayato Ryu, who has been practicing ninjutsu since he was a child.

  Hayato was mischievous when he was young, and he practiced ninjutsu in public. He was discovered by ninjas, and Hayato was hunted down by ninjas. In a critical moment, he sacrificed himself and rescued Falcon Dragon.

  Falcon Dragon apprenticed to Wang Zongyue, learned Chinese martial arts, combined with his own ninjutsu, and finally defeated Hattori Hanzo. He not only avenged his father, but also repelled Japanese pirates and benefited one side, so he was praised as [Dragon Ninja],

   "Dragon Ninja" combines Chinese martial arts and Japanese ninjutsu, which greatly increases the fun and visibility. Coupled with Jackie Chan's wonderful performance, after the film was released, the box office was very popular.

   In the end, it achieved a box office score of 7.8 million Hong Kong dollars, although it was far less than Xiang Nan's "Police Story". But among the crowd of kung fu movie stars, he is already considered the best.

  After all, most of the kung fu stars at that time, such as Sammo Hung, Yuan Biao, Chen Guantai, Wang Yu, Liu Jiahui, Fu Sheng, etc., had lower box office results than him.

  …

   After "Dragon Ninja" became a big hit, Jackie Chan took out the script of "One and a Half Ways to Enter the Rivers and Lakes" written by himself, hoping to invest in the filming.

  Xiang Nan didn't read the script, but he believed in Jackie Chan's vision, so he decided to let him give it a try. The loss was only seven or eight million Hong Kong dollars, which he could still afford.

  For Xiang Nan's 100% trust, Jackie Chan is naturally grateful.

  Actually, it’s not that no film company wanted to poach him after his starring roles in “The Tooth Swinging Tiger” and “Dragon Ninja” became very popular.

   After all, at this stage, everyone can see that Xiang Nan is mainly developing in Hollywood, and Xiangjiang's action movie market has already vacated. Whoever can take Xiang Nan's position will be the next box office superstar.

   Among the action stars, Jackie Chan's performance is the most outstanding one, so naturally many people want to poach him.

  However, Jackie Chan was grateful for Xiang Nan's support and trust in him, so even though those film companies had offered two to three million signing bonuses, Jackie Chan still chose to stay in Real Kung Fu Films.

   This is also his reward to Xiang Nan.

  …

  In July, "Die Hard" officially started filming.

  Although the story takes place in New York, for the sake of saving money, it was actually filmed in Vancouver.

  Many Hollywood film and television dramas do this.

  On the one hand, in order to attract Hollywood crews, Canada often has tax relief policies; on the other hand, the government departments are easier to talk about, and it is easier to apply for filming locations. In New York, if I want to borrow a building for filming, I don't know how many items I have to fill out in the application form.

   Filming in Vancouver also made it easier for Xiang Nan and Miao Kexiu to meet each other, killing two birds with one stone.

  Miao Kexiu immigrated to Canada in June. For a rich star like her, and her parents have come here earlier, immigration is much easier.

  In comparison, ordinary people don’t know how long they have to wait to get approved when they want to immigrate.

   "Did you bring the film crew to Vancouver just for me?" Miao Kexiu asked with a smile.

   "Of course." Xiang Nan nodded, "Actually, the crew was planning to go to Toronto for filming, and I suggested that they come to Vancouver."

   "I knew it." Miao Kexiu nodded, and suddenly smiled again, "The Michelle Pfeiffer who worked with you is very beautiful."

"Don't be jealous, I have nothing to do with her, she has a boyfriend now." Listening to the string song, Xiang Nan immediately waved his hand and said, "Besides, it's not up to me to decide which female star to use. Ah. If I had that power, I'd rather use you as the heroine."

   "Yes." Hearing what he said, Miao Kexiu was instantly satisfied.

  Actually, she also knows that Xiang Nan is not the kind of person who likes to tease cats and dogs.

  Before he became famous, when filming "Serpentine Hands" and "Drunken Master", all the martial artists in the crew went to the dance hall, but he didn't go. The reputation of being clean and self-sufficient has long been spread.

  Afterwards, he chased her very sincerely. He chased her for nearly two years, during which time he never found anyone else. All this shows that Xiang Nan is a sincere and dedicated man, so she believes that Xiang Nan will not cheat.

   Because of this, she never doubted Xiang Nan's scandal with Brooke Shields even last year.

  This can be regarded as a stereotyped prejudice.

  But Xiang Nan really has nothing to do with Michelle Pfeiffer, and he really didn't lie to Miao about this.
