Chapter 1925 1927 [Dreamworks]

  Xiang Nan then walked the red carpet with Jennifer Aniston.

   "Charles, do you and Jennifer have a new play together?" The host immediately asked curiously upon seeing this.

   "Yes, Jennifer will be the heroine of my new movie." Xiang Nan nodded.

   "Then I really want to congratulate her." The host congratulated immediately after hearing this, "What is the story of the new film, can you briefly reveal it?"

   "Not yet." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I can only say that I will act as a prisoner this time."

   "Wow, that's really a big breakthrough." Hearing what he said, the host said in surprise.

  Xiang Nan played either a policeman or an agent before, a positive role. To play a prisoner in this movie is really eye-catching.

  …

   In the subsequent Oscar ceremony, "Schindler's List" undoubtedly became the biggest winner.

It won a total of eight awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Original Soundtrack. It's a rewarding experience.

   But Xiang Nan is not jealous, because he knows that next year's Oscars ceremony will be the time for him to show off his prowess.

   "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Philadelphia Story", "Jurassic Park"... are all big hits for awards.

  So at the party after the awards ceremony, he sincerely congratulated Spielberg.

   "Steven, I really want to congratulate you. It's a pity that I got the news too late, otherwise, I would definitely invest in this movie." Xiang Nan said.

   "If you invest, then I definitely welcome it." Spielberg nodded, "How is your filming of "Jurassic Park" going?"

   "The only thing left is the special effects. I think it will be good if it can be released on Christmas." Xiang Nan said with a smile. With the current special effects technology, it is really not an easy task to achieve the effect of making dinosaurs look lifelike.

   "To be honest, if I didn't start filming "Schindler's List", I would definitely take over your movie." Spielberg said regretfully.

   "Jurassic Park" is one of the few movies that can stimulate his creative interest. Unfortunately, "Schindler's List" means more to him, so he can only choose to miss it.

   "It's okay, we still have the opportunity to cooperate." Xiang Nan smiled, "If you are interested, I can leave it to you to direct "Jurassic Park 2."

   "Okay, let me take a look first." Spielberg nodded. "By the way, I intend to start a production company. I hope we can cooperate more in the future."

   "Okay." Xiang Nan immediately agreed, wondering in his heart, could it be that the company he wants to start is the famous DreamWorks? !

   If so, really hold on to it. Because that is a company that specializes in blockbuster movies, "Shrek", "A Game of Cat and Mouse", "The End of Happiness", "Transformers", "Iron Armored Steel Fist"...

  According to statistics, in the 20 years since its establishment, 30 films have grossed over 100 million at the box office. Such achievements are legendary.

  …

  Xiang Nan then finalized two projects.

  One is the new work "Professor Fat" by African-American movie star Eddie Murphy, and the other is "Time to Kill" directed by Joe Schumacher.

  Eddie Murphy became famous on NBC TV's "Saturday Night Live" in his early years, and quickly became popular with his outstanding comedy talent.

  In 1984, "Beverly Hills Cop" he starred in won a box office of 240 million US dollars in the United States alone, ranking first in the annual box office list, and thus became the hottest African-American star in Hollywood.

Afterwards, he starred in "Golden Boy", "Beverly Hills Cop 2", "Journey to America", "Harlem Nightclub" and so on, all of which also achieved good box office, and can basically be included in the annual box office Top ten on the leaderboard.

  However, in the 1990s, Eddie Murphy starred in films such as "Forty-eight Hours", "Love Killer", "Slick Gentleman Breakthrough" and other films, which suffered Waterloo one after another at the box office.

  The audience accused Eddie Murphy's performance of being the same and nothing new, so they didn't want to see his performance again. Eddie Murphy fell into a career crisis because of this. Like Sylvester Stallone, he was eliminated by the changing market because he remained unchanged.

  After all, from 1984 to 1994, theater audiences have changed two generations.

  Eddie Murphy saw this and considered the transformation. This "Fatty Professor" is his latest idea. It tells the story of a professor who has an inferiority complex because of being too obese, and painstakingly researches on weight-loss drugs.

  Finally, the drug was successfully developed. After taking it, the professor lost a lot of weight and became a charming and popular lover. Even the goddess who used to be unattainable offered to date him.

   But unfortunately, the efficacy of the medicine is unstable, and the professor's obesity will rebound at any time, switching back and forth between fat and thin, which caused a series of farce.

  Finally, it teaches that the heart of a person is far more important than the outside.

   Xiang Nan had seen this movie before and thought it was very interesting, so he agreed to invest in it.

  …

Joe Schumacher made his debut in the 1980s and is one of the well-known directors in Hollywood. His well-known works include "St. Elmo's Fire", "Catch the Elf", "Don't Into the World of Yin and Yang", "Keep a Lover" and so on .

   He directed the famous or notorious "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin" in later generations. Because of the disastrous box office failure of "Batman and Robin", Warner did not dare to touch superhero movies for eight years.

  However, this does not mean that Joe Schumacher is a ostentatious waste director. In fact, his director level is very high, but he is not suitable for directing superhero films.

He later directed "Sniper Phone Booth", "Urban Hero", "Phantom of the Opera", "The Client", "Poison News", "Eight Millimeters", "Flawless", "Company with Tigers" and other word-of-mouth and box office. Pretty good.

  This "Killing Time" can also be regarded as his masterpiece.

  …

  After the Oscars, Xiang Nan began to prepare for "Prison in the Sky", and his contacts with Jennifer Aniston became increasingly close.

   With the deepening of contact, Xiang Nan felt that Jennifer Aniston was a lovely girl. Not only is she beautiful and exquisite, but she also has a simple and kind personality.

   No wonder she became known as America's sweetheart after she became popular with "Friends", and she has been popular for twenty or thirty years. This is a rare phenomenon in Hollywood.

  Because the pressure of competition here is very high, no matter how popular an actress is, she will only be popular for a few years. Just like Meg Ryan was one of the hottest actresses in the 1990s, starring in "Sleepless in Seattle", "Electronic Love Letter", "Ruthless Earth", "City of Angels", "Life and Death" Wait, they are all well-received and well-received movies.

   But after the new century, she will inevitably pass away.
