Chapter 1998 2000 [Mummy 3]

   Entering April, "Rage Rescue" was officially launched in Mexico City.

  After many rounds of interviews, January Jones was finally picked up by Peter Jackson.

   As a result, Peter Jackson chose Naomi Watts. Because he felt that Naomi's smile was sweeter, and there was a feeling of pity in her eyes, which could arouse men's desire for protection.

  Compared to this, January's eyes are colder. When he is not smiling, his expression is even a bit ugly, as if he is owed 800 yuan.

  In addition, Naomi Watts has better acting skills, so after comprehensive consideration, Peter Jackson finally chose her.

   This made Naomi Watts very happy. She knows that "King Kong" is a very good project, with an investment of nearly 200 million US dollars, and it is one of the films with the largest investment in the United States in the past two years.

  The director is Peter Jackson, who just became famous internationally with the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy; and the IP "King Kong" is also a well-known monster IP in film history...so the entire project configuration is top-notch.

  It is really a great thing for her to be able to star in such a movie.

Not to mention her, even big stars such as Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Connelly, Jennifer Aniston, Kristen Dunst and Scarlett Johansson want to participate in this movie .

   Therefore, she is really very happy to be able to compete for the position of the heroine.

  …

  Some people are happy while others are sad. January Jones is dissatisfied right now.

  She was sure that she was going to receive this big pie, but she didn't expect that she had already eaten it in her mouth, but was snatched away by someone. She was really extremely depressed.

  For this reason, she specially called Xiang Nan to complain, "What's the matter, Charles, you clearly agreed to let me act, why is it replaced by Naomi Watts now, are you kidding me?"

"I am indeed more optimistic about you, but Peter has his own considerations. Although I am an investor, I can't interfere too much with his work." Xiang Nan explained, "You don't have to be too angry, it's just a lost project. It's no big deal. I'll just go back and resupply you."

   "Are you good at what you say, and won't you play tricks on me again?" January asked immediately after hearing this.

"I have never fooled you, and I will not fool you." Xiang Nan said, "I will open a "Tekken 2" in the second half of the year, and then you will play the role of the midnight nurse, Christine Palmer ,how?"

   "What kind of character is this?" January asked suspiciously.

  Although she knows that the movies adapted from Super British comics have been very popular in the past two years, she is not interested in Super British comics.

"This is a life-saving nurse who specializes in medical care for superheroes. She's going to be in X-Men, Daredevil, The Defenders, and a future Blade, anyway. It’s a very high-octane and very important role.”

  Hearing what Xiang Nan said, January nodded, so she was relieved.

   "You should read more related comics these days and learn more about the characters." Xiang Nan reminded again, "I've given you the opportunity, if you still can't grasp it, it will bother me a lot."

   "Okay." January nodded.

  …

  In May, Xiang Nan started the "Tekken 2" project.

  The reason why it opened so late is mainly because the script is not easy to write.

  Because "Tekken 2" should not only echo the previous work, but also echo "Super Daredevil 2" and "Luke Cage 2", and also start the next "Defenders 2". At the same time, it is necessary to lay the groundwork for the "X-Men" series and "Avengers", in short, it is very troublesome.

  If Xiang Nan was not smart enough to analyze it in detail, another screenwriter would be caught blind.

  This time, January was finally not kicked off. But her role is not important, she can only be regarded as the third female.

  Because Iron Fist's girlfriend, Mist Knight, is the heroine, and she is also an African-American superhero.

  Mist Knight itself has no superpowers, but has a mechanical bionic arm from Stark Industries, so it has superhuman strength in grasping and grasping.

  Through the Mist Knight, Iron Man just happened to be drawn out. In order to promote the sales of comics, Marvel comics often let superheroes interact and make guest appearances with each other, thus forming a huge Marvel comic universe.

  However, it is still difficult to change the Marvel comic universe to the Marvel movie universe.

  …

  In June, Universal Pictures released the magical action movie "The Mummy 2" starring Hugh Jackman and Winona Ryder.

   "The Mummy 2" tells the story of the evil priest Immorton trying to kill the Scorpion Emperor, seize control of the **** army in his hands, and then rule the world. At the critical moment, the hero and heroine came out to save the world again.

  Although the story has some routines, but because of the success of "The Mummy", fans all over the world are still very supportive. In the end, the North American box office was 270 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was nearly 600 million U.S. dollars, which was even better than the first box office.

   Therefore, "The Mummy 3" was naturally arranged. However, this "Mummy 3" is absolutely impossible to change Qin Shihuang again.

  Xiang Nan is going to find materials from Egyptian mythology, telling the story of Imogen being dragged into hell, receiving the pardon of Horus, the **** of vengeance, and returning to the world to take revenge.

   This guy died three times, and every time he died so badly, he must have accumulated a lot of anger, waiting to be released.

  …

  In July, Universal Pictures released the film "The Matrix 3" starring Xiang Nan and Angelina Jolie, which is also the last film in the series.

  In the future, Xiang Nan will not continue to make a fuss, and make another "Matrix 4".

  The first two parts of "The Matrix" were very popular, and their reputation was also very good, winning the love of countless movie fans. Therefore, the release of "The Matrix 3" can be said to be highly anticipated.

  The night before the screening, there was already a long queue at the entrance of the cinema.

  After it was released, the quality of this movie did not disappoint fans.

  It has bigger scenes, cooler pictures, more intense fighting, and perfectly solves all the mysteries in the first and second parts.

  As a result, "The Matrix 3" exploded at the box office. In the end, the box office in North America was 350 million US dollars, the global box office was nearly 500 million US dollars, and the total box office was 840 million US dollars. It is a perfect end to the trilogy of the series.

  The "Matrix" trilogy, just at the box office alone, has brought billions of dollars in profits to Universal Pictures. Adding in the profits from the development of video tapes, VCDs, DVDs, and peripheral products, the film has created a value of more than two billion US dollars.

  In the future, with the release of "The Matrix 3", the revenue of this movie will continue to grow. It is estimated that in the end, it may reach more than five billion US dollars, becoming another cornucopia for Universal Pictures.

  This also further stimulated the rise of Universal Pictures' stock price.
