Chapter 1890 1892 [Thelma & Louise]

In the next period of time, Xiang Nan launched three projects: "Robin Hood", "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Thelma and Louise", and invested in the new project "Fighting Fight" directed by Jim Abrahams, the screenwriter of the "Golden Detective" series. The Condor," and Oliver Stone's new "Killing Kennedy."

   "Robin Hood of the Thieves" is based on a British folktale. Robin Hood is similar to the 108 heroes of the Water Margin. It also gathers the people to compete with the brutal nobles. It has a good reputation in English-speaking countries.

   This "Robin Hood of the Thieves" was released in 1991 and made a box office of 330 million US dollars, but it was quite a blockbuster.

"The Silence of the Lambs" is adapted from the original novel of the same name by the well-known novelist Thomas Harris. It not only won eight Oscar nominations, but also won Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress Best Film and other five awards.

   Not only that, it also won a box office of 130 million US dollars in North America and 270 million US dollars in the world, which can be said to be quite good.

   "Thelma & Louise" is a very famous feminist movie. It tells the story of two girlfriends who meet together for the weekend, but are forced to flee because they accidentally kill someone while resisting harassment, and finally die together.

   Received six Oscar nominations, including Best Actress, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay, etc.

   In addition, its box office is also very good, and it has won a box office of 45 million US dollars in North America alone. This is relatively rare in films dominated by women.

   "Falling Condor" is a film prepared by Jim Abrahams, the screenwriter of the "White Headed Detective" series.

   It is not uncommon in Hollywood to write and excellent to direct. Many big directors were screenwriters before. Such as George Lucas, James Cameron, Martin Scorsese and so on.

  Xiang Nan had seen clips of this movie on Douyin before, and thought it was very interesting, so he decided to invest in it.

  As for "Assassination of Kennedy", it is a project prepared by Oliver Stone. The assassination of Kennedy is one of the most legendary cases in the United States.

Although Kennedy was not the first president of the United States to be assassinated, the reason why it caused such a big response was that the murder process was broadcast on TV, and tens of millions of people saw the murder scene through TV. The stimulation is naturally the greatest.

  On the one hand, the truth of the murder has not yet been found out. Hundreds of people involved in the case committed suicide or were assassinated one after another, thus casting a strong conspiracy color on the case.

   Therefore, "Assassination of Kennedy" is an authentic political thriller, and it is still worth shooting.

  …

Xiang Nan then arranged for Mel Gibson and Brooke Shields to star in "Robin Hood", arranged for Michelle Pfeiffer and Anthony Hopkins to star in "The Silence of the Lambs", arranged for Nicole Kidman and Demi Moore in Thelma & Louise.

   Arrange for Jim Carrey and Kim Cattrall to star in "Condor", and arrange for Kevin Costner to star in "Killing Kennedy".

  But after Michelle Pfeiffer read the script of "The Silence of the Lambs", she felt that the movie was too **** and she didn't want to make it.

   "You have to think about it, this movie is expected to win the Oscar for Best Actress." Seeing this, Xiang Nan reminded her.

   "But I don't think this movie is very suitable for me." Michelle Pfeiffer waved her hand, "Do you have any other scripts?"

   "The other scripts have been arranged." Xiang Nan said speechlessly.

   "Charles, let me take a look first." Michelle Pfeiffer immediately said coquettishly, "I know you are the best for me."

   "Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, and handed her the remaining four scripts, "You choose."

   After watching it for a while, Michelle Pfeiffer immediately chose "Thelma and Louise" without any hesitation.

   "Charles, I think this movie is the most suitable for me, and I want to make it." She said firmly.

  This movie is not only compact and exciting, but also has a theme that she likes very much. Under the oppression of the patriarchal society, the two girlfriends rose up to resist, and finally died together, which is really great.

   It makes people feel soul-stirring and thrilling after watching it. It is really a great script.

  Xiang Nan scratched his head, and said with a embarrassed face, "You want to shoot, Nicole Kidman also wants to shoot, what should I do?"

  Michelle heard the string song and knew the elegance, and immediately leaned into Xiang Nan's arms, "You can do whatever you want, I have long been yours."

  Xiang Nan nodded. Cast Nicole Kidman in The Silence of the Lambs and Michelle Pfeiffer in Thelma and Louise alongside Demi Moore.

  …

  In addition to the above five projects, Xiang Nan is still working on the project "Basic Instinct".

   Now he is with Jennifer Connelly every day, helping her figure out the script and understand the characters so that she can better polish her acting skills to meet the requirements of "Basic Instinct".

  Xiang Nan's acting skills are still there. After all, decades of accumulation are not for nothing.

   Although Jennifer Connelly has won an Academy Award, her acting talent is not high. In the early days, it was mainly based on appearance. After the age of thirty, the acting skills gradually became enlightened.

  So Xiang Nan is quite qualified to guide her.

  Jennifer Connelly is also a hardworking and good student, studying hard with Xiang Nan every day, striving to win the role of "Basic Instinct".

   And in this daily relationship, the relationship between the two naturally warmed up rapidly.

  Especially in "Basic Instinct", there are many large-scale plots. In order to help her get familiar with the characters, Xiang Nan will inevitably make some moves, and sparks will naturally be sparked.

  So, one afternoon, when Xiang Nan showed Jennifer a demonstration, the two finally couldn't restrain the passion in their hearts, and they shot each other...

  However, afterwards, Xiang Nan managed to get Jennifer Connelly out through director Paul Verhoeven. Because of her pure and innocent face, she is really not suitable for playing this kind of femme fatale.

  He ended up giving the role to Sophie Marceau. Sophie Marceau played a femme fatale in "007: The Black Sun", who is both glamorous and cruel, making Dennis Richards, who is also a big beauty in the film, nothing left.

   Because of this, it is perfect for her to play the heroine of "Basic Instinct".

  However, Xiang Nan did not disappoint Jennifer. He still came up with another script, "Sleepless in Seattle", which tells a beautiful love affair caused by radio broadcasts.

   This movie is not only a hit at the box office, but also has a very good reputation. It is known as one of the most classic romance movies.

  Jennifer was naturally very unwilling to learn that she was dismissed by the director of "Basic Instinct". She had been preparing for this role for almost a month, but she still couldn't do it.

  But after seeing the script of "Sleepless in Seattle", her mood suddenly improved again.
