Chapter 1944 1946 [The Solution]

   Later, Xiang Nan asked Wen Bixia to meet.

  Wen Bixia was born in 1966, and was discovered by scouts in 1981. She made her first film "Pretty Girl", and later became famous with "Unstoppable Love" starring Andy Lau.

   But her achievements in the film field are not as good as her achievements in the television industry. She joined TVB in the 1990s, and her films such as "Hate Locking the Golden Vase", "Full Moon Scimitar", and "Fengshen Bang" can be regarded as classics of a generation.

  Especially in the revenge drama "Fire Rose", the ratings were so high that all women in Hong Kong imitated her hairstyle in the film and called it "Haichaotou", which shows how popular she is.

   "Miss Wen, hello~" Xiang Nan shook hands with her with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I took the liberty to invite you here."

   "Mr. Ning, you are welcome. It is my honor to meet you." Wen Bixia smiled and waved his hand.

   "I've heard that Ms. Wen is very beautiful. When I saw her today, she is more famous when she meets her." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Ms. Wen should be regarded as the spokesperson of sexuality in Xiangjiang's entertainment industry today, right?"

   Entering 1996, many artists have already retired.

For example, Zhong Chuhong got married after filming "Across the World"; Lin Qingxia also chose to get married and quit the circle in 1994, and even had a child this year; Mei and the others also chose to retire one after another.

  The retirement of these artists naturally vacated a lot of positions, so newcomers took up positions one after another. Among them, Wen Bixia is the most popular one.

  In addition to filming "Fire Rose" and "The Golden Vase of Hate", the key is to star in a large-scale film "Surprise". After it was released, it became a sensation in Hong Kong and made her a spokesperson for sexuality.

"Mr. Ning, don't make fun of me." Wen Bixia said with a bitter smile, "I only made that one movie, and I was scolded for being disobedient, selling my position, shameless, and teaching bad children. If I had known this, I would I don’t take that show anymore.”

  Although "Surprise" caused a sensation in Xiangjiang, it was not a good thing for her. Because the people of Xiangjiang are open on the outside and conservative on the inside, they are not very accepting of this kind of behavior.

  So although she is famous, most of her fame is infamy, which makes her feel a little bit lost.

   "I have a way to get you out of infamy, and I guarantee that you will become the envy of people immediately." Xiang Nan said with a smile when he heard it.

   "Okay, teach me quickly." Wen Bixia immediately asked for advice.

  Xiang Nan smiled, "The reason why they scolded you is mainly because you didn't get higher income even though you made the film.

  It's like when you fall while walking, everyone will laugh at you. But if you pick up a diamond ring on the ground while you are wrestling, then everyone will not make fun of you, but will envy you for your fall.

  So my solution is to take you to Hollywood to film. Let’s just say that because of your bold performance, you have attracted the attention of Hollywood directors and invited you to film in Hollywood.

   In this way, you have regained all your face, and you can also feel proud. what do you think? "

Wen Bixia blinked her eyes, then nodded with a smile, "Mr. Ning, as expected of you, you can actually come up with such a solution. But can I really go to Hollywood to film? If it's a lie, I'm afraid I will be the one who will be laughed at in the end." Great."

  If she said she would go to Hollywood to film, but she didn't make it in the end, it would be a big joke. I'm afraid it will be even worse than now.

   "Don't worry, I'm here, it's just a matter of one sentence." Xiang Nan smiled and said.

   "Then I will rely entirely on you." Wen Bixia smiled immediately.

  …

   After staying in Xiangjiang for half a month, Xiang Nan returned to Hollywood with Cong Shan and Ning Jing.

  After returning, Xiang Nan first published "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

   "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has been released for more than a year, and it's time to launch a sequel to consolidate its popularity.

   Otherwise, no matter how good a book is, it won’t be very popular if it is updated all the year round.

  After the launch of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", because of the popularity of the previous work and the popularity of Xiang Nan, it once again achieved very good sales.

   In the first month after its launch, sales exceeded one million copies. Especially during the Christmas period, many parents choose to buy books as gifts, so the sales of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" are even higher.

  It's a pity that the current special effects technology is not enough to put it on the screen. Even if you try to shoot, the cost will be too high to kill people. Otherwise, with the popularity of the movie, this novel might easily sell tens of millions of copies.

   Entering December, the released movie is the fantasy comedy "Grandmaid in Disguise" starring Jim Carrey and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

  It tells the story of an unlucky guy who accidentally picked up the mask of Loki, the **** of mischief, and turned into an omnipotent superhero, not only fighting crimes, but also embracing beautiful women.

  The original work of "Grandmaid in Disguise" is actually a horror comic, published by Dark Horse Comics. Dark Horse Comics is the third largest comic book publisher in the United States after DC and Marvel.

  But as the saying goes in shopping malls, the boss and the second fight and beat the third to death. DC and Marvel occupy the largest share of the comic book market, leaving less than 10% of the share left to Dark Horse Comics and other comic companies.

  Thus, although Dark Horse Comics is the third largest, it is not a heavyweight at all with DC and Marvel. However, this does not mean that Dark Horse Comics has no expectations.

  In fact, Dark Horse Comics still holds several valuable IPs in its hands. In addition to "Ghost in Masquerade", there are also "Hellboy", "Predator", "Alien" and so on.

  The film version of "Grandmaid in Disguise" was changed from a horror film to a comedy because of the joining of Jim Carrey. Moreover, Jim Carrey is known as "Rubber Face", which can make a lot of exaggerated expressions without using special effects technology.

   On the one hand, this helped the crew save costs, and on the other hand, it also made the characters more vivid. Therefore, after the film was released, it caused a strong sensation.

  The North American box office is 160 million US dollars, and the global box office is as high as 350 million US dollars. Jim Carrey once again created the best performance of his acting career and made his fame even higher.

   Although Catherine Zeta-Jones played a vase in the film and didn't have much room to play, the role of the vase was still done very well.

  Especially in the singing and dancing scenes in the film, she, who was born as a song and dance actress, performed in person, showing her versatility, and thus won high praise from the industry.

  …

  In general, for Universal Pictures in 1996, it is still very worthy of congratulations.

  The company's profit exceeded 3.5 billion US dollars, an increase of 15% compared to last year, and the stock price also increased by as much as 50% compared to last year. It is now the giant with the highest market value in Hollywood.

  Such achievements also made Xiang Nan's original purchase worth more than the money.
