Chapter 1876 1878 [Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]

   Seeing Xu Ke coming back, Xiang Nan didn't say anything, and announced the start of work as before.

   This matter is over like this, and they all agreed not to mention it again.

  But in the following time, Xu Ke behaved much calmer, and did not wantonly modify the shooting, making Xiang Nan feel much more comfortable getting along with him.

  …

  During the filming of "Cosmic Veyron", the filming of "Lie, Video Tape", directed by Xiang Nan Investment, directed by Stephen Soderbergh and starring Kim Cattrall and Nicolas Cage, has been completed.

  However, this film is not in a hurry to be released, but is preparing to hit the three major European film festivals.

  Because an art film like this has little box office appeal. If it is released like this, it will not get much box office.

   On the contrary, if it can win an award at the film festival, then the release will be much smoother. The three major European film festivals have the highest status in the world, second only to Oscar, so the producer Nick Hardy plans to take it to the three major film festivals next year.

  Xiang Nan is not in a hurry either.

   He has a lot of money and doesn't care about millions of dollars at the box office. For him, winning the prize is more cost-effective. If you can win a Palme d'Or or a Golden Lion, you will be happier than earning 10 million US dollars.

  …

  In addition, "Sweet Family", starring Bruce Willis, is also officially launched.

   This movie tells the story of the head of the family who is facing various challenges, such as unsatisfactory work, children's education, getting along with husband and wife, and neighbor relations. With his own strength and the support of his family, he finally overcomes these difficulties and makes the family happy.

  Mid-life crisis is common in all countries in the world.

  Middle-aged people are not only old and young, but their bodies are not as good as when they were young, and they are also going downhill. Husband and wife also gradually lose freshness and passion due to getting along with each other for a long time, so they are faced with multiple pressures, and it is naturally difficult to bear.

   Therefore, movies that reflect the theme of midlife crisis can easily resonate with the audience. Many movies with this theme have done well at the box office and word of mouth.

For example, Xiangjiang's "Little Man's Weekly", "Wealth is Overwhelming", "Woman Forty", the mainland's "Lost in Thailand", "Hong Kong", "Kramer and Mrs. Kramer" and "American Beauty" in the United States. ", "Bridges of Madison County", "The Weatherman" and so on.

  After the release of "Sweet Home", word-of-mouth and box office were very good. The North American box office took in 100 million US dollars, setting a new high in Bruce Willis' acting career.

   Moreover, he was originally an action star, but his acting skills in this film are also admirable, delicate and mellow, touching, and it was the first time that the industry recognized his acting skills.

  …

   After the launch of "Sweet Family", "Police Academy 5" was released subsequently.

   This is the fifth part of the series, the freshness is gone, and the only thing left is the persistence of diehard fans. Therefore, the box office is not high, only more than 20 million U.S. dollars, which barely pays off.

  However, Xiang Nan immediately started filming "Police Academy 6". Because of this series of movies, although the box office is not high, they are quite popular in the video rental market.

   Therefore, there is still value in continuing to shoot, but the actor Steve Gartenberg is miserable.

  The first "Police Academy" became a hit, taking more than 80 million U.S. dollars at the box office, ranking eighth on the annual box office list, making him, an unknown person, a hit overnight and becoming one of Hollywood's most famous stars.

   But in the past few years, he has been filming the "Police Academy" series every year, and his box office appeal is gradually shrinking. Up to now, in Hollywood, he can barely be regarded as a star at the end of the first line or at the beginning of the second line.

   He believes that with two more sequels, he will have no place in Hollywood. Because he has been deeply bound with "Police Academy" and his image has solidified, it will be difficult for audiences to buy other movies.

   Just like the actors of 007 and Superman, after leaving this role, the development will not be too smooth. This is also called the curse of Superman.

  So as long as this movie stops, his acting career will collapse.

   Just like the actors of those popular American dramas, after the drama is over, it is difficult for them to maintain their previous popularity.

  For example, the protagonists of "The Big Bang Theory" were the most popular entertainers in the United States when the series was broadcast. But after "The Big Bang Theory" ended, even the actor who played Sheldon, Jim Parsons, was not as popular as before.

  But he has no choice but to make it if he wants to. Who asked him to sign seven film contracts, and he also signed the priority of the schedule.

  The most important thing is that after he became popular in "Police Academy", he was really embarrassing. Xiang Nan asked him to come back to film "Police Academy 2", but he refused to come back.

   This offended Xiang Nan, and now there is no way to reconcile.

   And Gartenberg's deeds also let Hollywood know that Xiang Nan is not a good man.

   Make friends with him, of course you can get his support, there are endless protagonists. But if you offend him, you may be tortured to death by him.

  …

  After "Police Academy 5" was released, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" starring Qian Xiaohao, Qian Jiale, Yuan Hua, Dong Wei, Nicole Kidman, etc. was released next.

   "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" launched comics in 1984 and animation in 1987. Children are very fond of these four little turtles who are proficient in ninjutsu.

   Its sales volume of comics even surpassed that of Marvel comics, causing a sensation in the industry. Therefore, it was adapted into an animation two years after it was released, and the ratings are still good.

  In addition, the sales of toys jointly signed by it and the toy company are also good. In 2000, it even launched the game "Ghost Turtle Ninja", which sold more than 4 million copies. This all explains the popularity of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

  So after the movie version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was released, fans liked it very much.

  Although the special effects technology at that time was not good, when "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was filmed, the four of Qian Xiaohao wore leather jackets to act, which looked quite funny.

   But its story is still exciting, and the fighting is full of tricks. It perfectly reproduces all kinds of incredible ninjutsu and martial arts presented in comics and animations, so fans like it very much.

  In the end, the film made a box office of 130 million US dollars in North America, which shocked Qian Xiaohao and the others.

  They thought it was really stupid to do this movie in a leather case, who would watch such a silly X movie. If it weren't for their trust in Xiang Nan, they would all be on strike.

   Never expected that this movie would be such a hit, it was beyond their expectations.

It's a pity that in this movie, they always wear hoods and can't show their faces, so they can't gain too much popularity. The most is to let the industry realize that Chinese kung fu plus comedy elements are very popular, so the four of them will not be missing in the future. filming.

  With the success of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", they can at least play a major role in a B-movie.

  Nicole Kidman is the most popular in this movie. She is the heroine, she has appeared the most times, and she is so beautiful, so she is naturally the most eye-catching.
