Chapter 1994 1996 [Rush Hour 3]

  Xiang Nan only knew about Song Hye Kyo after watching "Blue Life and Death". When I saw her for the first time, I was almost astonished. Such a pure and beautiful woman is really very rare.

  Although I saw a lot of beauties later, I knew that Song Hye Kyo was just Xiaojiabiyu, with limited appearance. Not to mention compared with top beauties such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, Sophie Marceau, and Jennifer Connelly, even compared with Zhang Bozhi, Li Jiaxin, and Lin Xilei of Xiangjiang, they are quite inferior.

  But after all, there are childhood filters, so Song Hye Kyo is still the big beauty in his mind.

   "I have watched "Blue Life and Death" starring you, and your performance is really good." Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Really?! Thank you!" Song Hye Kyo said happily.

  Xiang Nan is a gold medal producer in Hollywood, known as the God of Movies. His praise is really rare.

  It's a pity that there are no reporters present. Otherwise, it will be recorded and reported. Tomorrow, newspapers and magazines in South Korea will publish this news. And with Xiang Nan's praise, she will become South Korea's recognized acting school in one fell swoop.

   "You're welcome. In my new film, there is a role that suits you, do you want to consider it?" Xiang Nan said again, this method has been tried and tested.

   "You invited me to cooperate?!" Song Hye Kyo widened his eyes in surprise, then nodded repeatedly, "Of course, I am very happy."

Not to mention that Xiang Nan's movies have always been successful at the box office and word-of-mouth. Even if he made her act in a low-budget bad movie, she can use it to hype her after she returns to South Korea, saying that she has been to Hollywood and is an international-level movie. movie star.

  After all, there are so many entertainers in South Korea, none of them can go to Hollywood to film. Even top entertainers like Jang Dong Gun, Lee Byung Hun, and Cha In Pyo have yet to get their chances.

   "Very good." Xiang Nan smiled, and then told the story of "Rush Hour 3".

  …

   "Rush Hour 3" was originally released in 2007. The reason why it has been so long since the second part is that Chris Tucker, one of the leading actors, lacks ambition. After "Rush Hour 1 and 2" became popular, he began to get carried away and only cared about enjoying life and walking around the catwalk .

   He didn't choose to return to "Rush Hour 3" until his money was almost spent. What's even worse is that he is obviously a supporting role, but he offered a higher salary than Jackie Chan.

   As a result, the production cost of "Rush Hour 3" was as high as 120 million US dollars, which is considered a top Hollywood production. But the box office was only 240 million US dollars, causing huge losses to New Line Pictures. Therefore, "Rush Hour 4" has not been filmed until now.

  However, under Xiang Nan's arrangement, Chris Tucker was replaced by Martin Lawrence.

  Martin Lawrence is more popular, starring in "Bad Boys", "Jedi Dad", "Nothing to Lose", and "Stupid Detective" have all won over 100 million US dollars at the box office.

   Moreover, his comedy talent is extraordinary, he once starred in a talk show on TV, and gained a very good reputation.

  So after partnering with Jackie Chan, the two complement each other's strengths, one is in charge of kung fu, the other is in charge of funny, one is serious and the other is harmonious, and they cooperate seamlessly, which makes the first two "Rush Hour" hits.

  This time, Xiang Nan is going to start shooting "Rush Hour 3". The script is rewritten, and the investment will not be too large, which is around 80 million US dollars.

   After all, pure action movies are not very popular now, and special effects action movies are popular now. Such as "Pirates of the Caribbean", "X-Men", "Harry Potter" and the like.

  …

   Song Huiqiao couldn't help being very excited when she saw that Xiang Nan asked her to star in "Rush Hour 3".

  As far as she knows, the first two films of "Rush Hour" have both entered the top ten works on the annual box office list in the United States, and they are very popular movies.

  She was able to participate in the production of the third part, and she would be famous right before her eyes, so she was naturally very happy.

   "Mr. Charles, your story is really well written. I am very interested in acting in it." Song Hye Kyo expressed his opinion immediately.

"Very good, I appreciate your positive attitude." Xiang Nan nodded, "However, whether you are suitable for this role or not, you have to pass the assessment. You also know that a film with an investment of 100 million US dollars must Just be careful."

   "I understand." Hearing what he said, Song Huiqiao immediately showed a cute look, "Mr. Charles, how do you want to assess?"

   "Well, I just want to stay in Xiangjiang for a few days. If you have time, you can stay with me and let me tutor you well." Xiang Nan nodded and said.

  Song Hye Kyo was taken aback for a moment, then murmured, "I have to discuss it with my manager."

   "Okay." Xiang Nan didn't force it either.

   Anyway, for him, there are plenty of beauties.

   After discussing with the manager, Song Huiqiao decided to stay with Xiang Nan.

   On the one hand, it is not easy for South Korean stars to go to Hollywood to film. Xiangjiang's entertainers are good at kung fu, and they have an advantage in the field of action movies. But South Korean artists are different. They don't have any advantages, so it's hard for them to win the favor of Hollywood.

   On the one hand, even if you fail the assessment in the end, it is good to be able to establish contact with Xiang Nan. A big man like him has always been aloof, and it is not easy to meet him. It is even rarer to be able to stay by his side for a few days now.

  Xiang Nan was also very satisfied with Song Hye Kyo's choice, "A child can be taught~"

  …

   After staying in Xiangjiang for half a month, Xiang Nan's family returned to Hollywood.

  In February, Universal Pictures released Meet Your Father-in-Law 2, starring Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand.

  The previous year's "Meet Your Father-in-law" had a global box office of 330 million US dollars, and the production cost of that movie was only 50 million US dollars. Because of this, a sequel is naturally scheduled.

   In order to bring more freshness to fans, the film specially invited Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand to join.

  Dustin Hoffman has won the Academy Awards twice, and Barbra Streisand is the queen of the Academy Awards, and has made unsurpassable achievements in many fields such as music, drama, and TV dramas.

  The joining of these two superstars has added a lot of color to "Meet Your Father-in-Law 2", making it even more attractive at the box office.

  Especially Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand, the three old actors who compete on the same field, and their funny skills together make this movie very watchable.

   Therefore, after it was released, the box office became a hit. In the end, the North American box office was 270 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 530 million U.S. dollars, which was 200 million more than the previous one.

   Such a box office also broke the box office records created by "Home Alone" and "The Counterfeit God", becoming the highest-grossing comedy ever.

  Ben Stiller also became popular because of this, becoming a comedy star who can compete with Jim Carrey.
