Chapter 1837 1839 [People have me]

  Two films in a row had a box office of over 100 million in North America, making Xiang Nan almost a Hollywood myth.

  Steven Spielberg, Francis Coppola, George Lucas, none of his achievements, so that Xiang Nan's reputation, in Hollywood, almost reached its peak.

   Hollywood is the center of movies and entertainment all over the world. After Xiang Nan became famous in Hollywood, he naturally gained a high reputation in other regions.

  For example, the Australian media now revolve around him almost every day, reporting on his new works shot in Australia.

   Colleagues in the Australian film and television industry also visited Xiang Nan one after another, hoping to cooperate with him. For example, ask him to film, ask him to invest, ask him to support and so on.

  Xiang Nan is not being taken advantage of, so naturally he will not respond to requests.

   But he still invested in a film project called "Crocodile Dundee".

  This is a comedy film about Dundee, a crocodile hunter who lived in a wild land, and suddenly came to a modern city, causing a series of jokes and conflicts.

  Xiang Nan felt that the script was interesting, so he invested five million dollars and promised to distribute it to the United States at that time.

  …

  Xiang Nan was popular in Australia, and even Nicole Kidman benefited greatly, gained a lot of exposure, and became a rising star in Australia.

   This also made Nicole very excited. For this reason, she took the initiative to show her affection to Xiang Nan.

  Xiang Nan adhered to the principle that if you have a flower, you should break it straight away, and don’t wait for the flower to be empty, so you accept it, and return the favor, promising to take her to Hollywood to develop.

  Anyway, with her good looks, even if he doesn't take it, she will be discovered by others sooner or later.

  Just like Wang Tiaoxian, she looks so beautiful, she will be the heroine as soon as she debuts. After filming the first movie, he was picked by Shao Brothers and brought to Xiangjiang for development. Afterwards, although Shaw Brothers closed down, she still had no shortage of filming, and her career became more and more prosperous.

   This is the advantage of beautiful women.

  Many celebrities call themselves big beauties, but they are not big beauties, just look at their resumes. The real big beauty can't hide it even if she wants to. Not to mention smooth sailing in the acting career, at least there will not be too many twists and turns.

  …

  In August, the action movie "Lethal Weapon" starring Xiang Nan, Danny Grove and Halle Berry was officially released.

   As Xiang Nan's new work, Paramount Pictures naturally also promoted it vigorously.

  Xiang Nan made a special trip back to the United States for this reason.

   Fortunately, at that time, the filming of the Australian part of "Best Partner 4" had already been filmed, so the crew did not need to spend time in Australia waiting for him to return.

  In this case, you can save a lot of location fees.

  After the release of "Lethal Weapon", the box office performance is still good.

   was especially popular with African-American audiences.

  Before, Xiang Nan's films mostly used white people. In "Ghostbusters", the four members are all white; in "Spring is Not a School Day", the three leading actors are all white; in "Police Academy", among a large group of students, there are only two blacks...

  This time, the blacks finally had the upper hand.

  Not only as the second hero, but also as the first heroine, which encouraged African audiences.

   And this movie, because of the solid story and grand scenes, white audiences also bought it. Therefore, after its release, the box office performance has been good.

  The final box office was more than 63 million US dollars. Although not as good as "Top Gun" and "Back to the Future 2", it can still be included in the forefront of the annual box office list.

Moreover, to the surprise of the industry, although Xiang Nan played the role of a policeman in "Die Hard", "Lethal Weapon" and even "Police Story", the three roles have their own strengths, which will not let The audience is suspected of confusion.

   This also reflects Xiang Nan's acting skills to a certain extent.

  To be honest, before that, although he had made a lot of box office hits. But in the eyes of film critics, he is not yet good at acting.

  They believed that Xiang Nan’s success was due to his well-written script and his skillful kung fu. As for the acting, it's just not bad, not outstanding.

  In this "Lethal Weapon", Xiang Nan performed in a hysterical state, vividly and meticulously, which made the industry finally recognize his acting skills.

  …

   After promoting "Lethal Weapon", Xiang Nan returned to Xiangjiang to continue filming "Best Partner 4".

  Finally, at the end of September, the film was officially wrapped.

  At this time, "Overlord Flower" directed by Wang Jing was officially launched.

   This movie is starring Hu Huizhong, Feng Pufan, Wu Junru, Hui Yinghong, Lou Nanguang, etc. It is mainly funny, supplemented by kung fu, and it is lively and beautiful.

  The final box office was more than 16 million Hong Kong dollars, which is quite a good result compared to the production cost of more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars. As a result, Wang Jing regained her confidence.

  He is going to take advantage of the victory to make another "Supreme". Gambling movies are what he is very good at, and with the addition of action, gunfights, picking up girls and other elements, he believes that the box office will be good.

   Xiang Nan also expressed his support for this.

"Okay, you should think about innovation instead of always repeating yourself." Xiang Nan encouraged, "No one is making gambling movies now, so your shooting is just right. Remember to be able to achieve what others have and what others have. If you are excellent, then you will never worry about being eliminated by the market.”

  Wang Jing nodded approvingly after hearing this.

  Xiang Nan's movies always achieve what others have and what others have.

When everyone was making serious kung fu movies, Xiang Nan made comedy kung fu movies; when everyone started making comedy kung fu movies, Xiang Nan started making modern action movies; when everyone started making modern action movies, Xiang Nan started making stunt movies... Always walk in the forefront of the public.

  People say that one step ahead is a lunatic, half a step ahead is a genius, and Xiang Nan is a genius.

   "Mr. Ning, I wrote it down." He said solemnly.

   "Come on, I'm optimistic about you." Xiang Nan patted him on the shoulder and said.

  …

  At the end of September, after filming "Best Partner 4", Xiang Nan took the time to go back to the mainland.

  At this time, "Red Sorghum" directed by Zhang Yimou was still filming in central Shaanxi.

  Xiang Nan flew to Chang'an specially, and met Zhang Yimou, Cong Shan, the leading actor Jiang Wen and others.

   I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and Zhang Yimou and Cong Shan have been tanned several times. Especially Zhang Yimou, who was originally a rough guy, became even rougher after being exposed to the sun.

   "Director Zhang, thank you for your hard work." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

   "You're welcome, Mr. Ning, I should do everything." Zhang Yimou waved his hand.

  Being able to become a director is already a rare thing for him. If he shouted hard again, wouldn't he get a bargain and sell himself as a good boy?

"Mr. Ning, I have admired you for a long time." Jiang Wen also came over and said, "You may not remember me, but I know you. You subdued the little **** at the age of nine, and you are so powerful in four or nine cities. This is you~" He raised his head thumbs up.

  Xiang Nan smiled.

  What happened more than ten years ago, if Jiang Wen didn't mention it, he wouldn't even be able to remember it.

   "I met you at the Beihai Ice Skating Rink before, and your skating is the same..." Jiang Wen gave another thumbs up.

  Xiang Nan smiled.

  He knew that Jiang Wen was a disciple of the big courtyard, and all the disciples of the big courtyard did not worship him. Even Li Yuanchao's generation was no exception.
