Chapter 2001 2003 [Victoria's Secret Supermodel]

   In January 2005, "Luke Cage 2" was released.

   When this African-American superhero movie was first released, it received strong support from African-American audiences.

Because this movie is the first superhero movie with an African-American protagonist, this is a big breakthrough for them, so they flocked to theaters to watch, and finally brought over 200 million US dollars in box office , the global box office is also approaching 400 million U.S. dollars, which can be said to be very popular.

   Therefore, after the release of "Luke Cage 2", the racial halo and the popularity of the previous work made its box office still booming. In the end, the North American box office was 180 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 350 million U.S. dollars.

   It can be said to be quite good.

  …

  In January, Xiang Nan also started a new project.

"The Butterfly Effect", "The Defenders 2", "X-Men 3", "American Pie 3", "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Both and Down, "Mission: Impossible 4", "Night at the Museum" , "Brokeback Mountain", "Unreachable Lovers", "Lord of War" and "Princess Diaries 2".

   "The Butterfly Effect" is a brain-burning suspense thriller. It tells the story of the hero who has the ability to travel through time and space. In order to change the fate of his girlfriend and family, he travels through time and space constantly, but the result becomes worse and worse...

   "Defenders 2" is the second part of the defenders universe. The defenders began to gather to fight against the next super boss. In this regard, Xiang Nan has already paved the way for three movies. In "Daredevil 2", "Luke Cage 2" and "Tekken 2", they have already laid the groundwork.

  This time "Defenders 2" will have more heroes, more exciting stories, more intense fighting, and more magnificent scenes. I believe it will win the love of the audience.

   "X-Men 3", "American Pie 3", "Mission: Impossible 4", and "Princess Diaries 2" are all sequels, which are consistent with their predecessors.

   "Wonderful Night at the Museum" tells the story of the hero who finally finds a job as a guard in the museum, but unexpectedly, the exhibits in the museum will come back to life after sunset...

  "Brokeback Mountain" tells about an unknown relationship; "Lord of War" tells about the experience of an arms dealer who started his career...

  …

  Xiang Nan then began preparations for "Mission: Impossible 4", selecting actors and shooting locations.

  Because it was 2005, and the Burj Khalifa in the Middle East had just started to be built, so it was impossible to film there. But that doesn't bother Xiang Nan, he is going to take a shot at the 101 Building in Taipei. It is 501 meters high, the tallest building in Asia, and it is quite well-known.

   In terms of actors, basically the original configuration, Ellen Page, Jeremy Renner, Patricia Velasquez... the villain female killer, after consideration, Xiang Nan decided to choose the Victoria's Secret supermodel.

  The full name of Victoria's Secret is Victoria's Secret. It was founded in 1977. After decades of development, it is now the world's largest underwear brand, with annual sales of more than two billion US dollars.

  In order to promote their own products, since 1995, Victoria's Secret has held fashion shows, hiring supermodels to show their products, in order to enhance the value of the brand.

  After years of operation, the Victoria's Secret Show has become a major event in the fashion industry. It attracts tens of millions of viewers every year.

  Any model who walks for Victoria's Secret will become famous in one fell swoop, so every year's Victoria's Secret show will attract thousands of models to sign up for the election.

   And those who can appear on the Victoria's Secret show are all top beauties with impeccable appearance, figure and temperament. Because of this, the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show has also become an unspoken beauty hunting ground in the circle.

  Many wealthy businessmen and celebrities will be invited to watch the show. Xiang Nan also receives invitations every year, but has never been there.

   It’s just because of filming, gossip with female stars, and the hype and drive up the box office as an excuse, but there is really no excuse to go to the Victoria’s Secret Show to see beautiful women, except for lust.

  Just because he hasn't been there, it doesn't mean he's not interested in those supermodels.

   After all, everyone likes beautiful women.

  …

  The news that Xiang Nan wanted to choose a Victoria's Secret model to participate in "Mission: Impossible 4" quickly spread throughout the fashion industry, and countless models sent their resumes to the crew for a while.

  All models want to work in Hollywood. On the one hand, the income will be higher, and on the other hand, the fame will be greater.

  A top model like Gisele Bundchen earns no more than six million dollars a year. And like Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Jennifer Connelly, etc., the salary of a movie is tens of millions of dollars.

   Moreover, the fame of top supermodels is not as great as that of second-tier Hollywood movie stars. For example, Gisele Bundchen, if it weren't for the scandal with Xiao Lizi, it would be impossible for her to become famous.

  So many models rack their brains and want to appear in movies.

  The first three "Mission: Impossible" films are all among the top ten works in the annual box office list, and "Mission: Impossible 4" has an investment of more than 150 million US dollars, which is a veritable super masterpiece.

   Being able to appear in this film, even if it is only a small role, will help to enhance their reputation, so naturally everyone is enthusiastic.

  Xiang Nan's selection of people is a bit tricky.

  After all, Victoria’s Secret models really want to have good looks, a good figure, and a temperament. Every one of them can be regarded as a man’s gift.

  Finally, after Xiang Nan passed the assessment, Alessandra Ambrosio was selected. She was born in 1981 and started modeling at the age of 14. In 2001, she participated in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for the first time and amazed everyone.

   After the news was exposed, Alexandra immediately became famous in the fashion industry, and her popularity even surpassed that of Gisele Bundchen, who was in love with Xiao Lizi.

  Gucci, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel and many other fashion brands offered her olive branches, and many fashion magazines such as "vogue", "ELLE", "GQ" invited her to shoot the cover, and she was in the limelight for a while.

   This made Alexandra very happy. She didn't expect that she would make such a profit before the filming started. After the movie is released in the future, that's okay!

   Seeing Alexandra become famous in one fell swoop, other models are naturally envious.

  …

  In January, Xiang Nan accompanied his family back to the mainland.

  Ning Weiguo and Qi Aihong's health is getting worse and worse, and they desperately need the company of their families, so Xiang Nan's family did not return to the United States until the end of February.

  After returning to the United States, preparations for "Mission: Impossible 4" continued.

  In order to better play the characters, like Jeremy Renner, Patricia Velasquez and Alessandra Ambrosio, they all undergo physical training and fighting skills training.

  In addition, Jun Ji-hyun, who starred in "X-Men 3", is also receiving training in physical fitness and fighting skills. Xiang Nan would occasionally go to the training ground to play the role of master.

   And as the time spent together increases, the relationship will naturally get better and better.

  In the end, Alexandra and Jun Ji-hyun fell under his kung fu costume one after another.
