Chapter 2015 2017 [Twilight]

  In October, "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Jurassic Park 4" are released simultaneously.

"The Devil Wears Prada", starring Anne Hathaway and Mel Streep, tells the story of how a young girl entering the workplace gets lost in Vanity Fair, and finally wakes up, quits Vanity Fair, and finds the lost happiness .

   This movie is adapted from the original novel of the same name, and the prototype of the character is Anna Wintour, the female editor-in-chief of the well-known American fashion magazine "VOGUE".

  The story is actually a bit clichéd. There are actually many stories in Hollywood like the story of the prodigal son returning to the gold. But after the release of "The Devil Wears Prada", it still achieved great success.

  It got a box office of 120 million U.S. dollars in North America, and the global box office is as high as 330 million U.S. dollars, and its cost is less than 40 million U.S. dollars.

  The reason for this is that, on the one hand, this story tells about things in the workplace, and is known as the survival book of the office, which has attracted the resonance of countless fashion circles and professionals;

   On the one hand, the film has a positive theme, a relaxed and humorous style, and a lot of fashion elements. It is completely a fashion blockbuster, and it is also very attractive to the audience, so it naturally performed extremely well at the box office.

  …

   And "Jurassic Park 4" tells the story of the coexistence of humans and dinosaurs.

  Evil scientists use genetic technology to clone more ferocious and intelligent dinosaurs, intending to conquer the world, and human beings are forced to struggle to survive...

  In "Jurassic Park 2", dinosaurs have already entered human society. After "Jurassic Park 3", the power of dinosaurs has continued to grow, and they have also posed a great threat to the human world.

  Pterosaurs, Velociraptors, Tyrannosaurus Rex and other carnivores ate humans, causing a crisis of human survival that swept the world. And some ambitious people still don't give up, trying to use the power of dinosaurs to conquer the world and dominate the world.

  The combination of natural disasters and man-made disasters makes the situation of human beings even more miserable. Countless cities have been destroyed, and the remaining human beings can only live in emergency shelters, lingering...

   This movie is already a bit of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, similar to "Resident Evil", "The Hunger Games", and "Mad Max".

  And this kind of doomsday survival movie is very suitable for the audience.

On the one hand, it is because there is a shortage of similar movies in Hollywood, so "Jurassic Park 4" is rare and expensive; survival theme.

  In the end, "Jurassic Park 4" has a North American box office of 230 million U.S. dollars and a global box office of nearly 500 million U.S. dollars, continuing the legend. And "Jurassic Park 5" is also in preparation.

  In this part, human beings will find the key to subdue dinosaurs and reverse the current endangered situation.

  …

  In the same month, the relationship between Xiang Nan, Zhang Jingchu, and Natalie Portman achieved breakthroughs respectively.

  In fact, he didn't do anything special, nor did he take any active offensive, but he invited them to eat, drink, dance, just a normal date, and he took them down. The process was extremely simple.

  Because women do not rely on chasing, but on attracting. When both parties are interested in each other and rush in both directions, the progress is absolutely rapid and the speed is amazing. It is not a concept at all to be interested in one party and not in the other party, to chase after months or even years without success.

  …

  In November, Universal Pictures launched "Daredevil 3".

   Four Daredevil manga movies have been released, "Daredevil 1, 2" and "The Defenders 1, 2". After the foreshadowing of the four movies, Daredevil has accumulated a strong popularity.

   Therefore, after it was released, the box office has been soaring all the way, and the results are very gratifying. In the end, the North American box office was 200 million, and the global box office exceeded 400 million US dollars, which is very good.

   In December, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" was released.

   This series of movies has now become one of the strongest IPs in the film industry, and it has already attracted much attention before it was released. A few days before the release, movie fans even had to line up overnight to buy tickets, so as to get a glimpse at the first time.

  Under such an atmosphere, it is difficult for a movie to achieve a high box office.

  In the end, the film earned US$300 million at the box office in North America and US$970 million worldwide, making it a big hit again.

   At the same time, the last book of the "Harry Potter" series, "Deathly Hallows", was also released, and with the help of the movie's big sales, it sold tens of millions of copies.

  …

  In January 2008, Xiang Nan started a new project for the new year.

"Twilight", "Fast and Furious 4", "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", "Luke Cage 3", "Ghost Rider", "Shanghai Noon 2", "Night at the Museum" 2", "Bad Boys 2", "007: Quantum of Solace" and "Jurassic Park 5".

  Most of these new projects are sequels, and the lineup is basically the same as the original team. There is only one "Twilight Saga", which is considered a new work.

   This movie is adapted from the novel of the same name. The original novel was published in 2005. Before it was ready to be published, Universal Pictures had already acquired the right to adapt it.

   After the novel was released, it became very popular and won the love of countless book fans in the past two years. Therefore, seeing that the popularity was almost brewing, Xiang Nan prepared to adapt it into a movie.

   But as for the protagonist, Xiang Nan does not plan to use Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

  Because Robert originally became popular with "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", but Xiang Nan changed all the actors in this version of "Harry Potter", and Robert did not appear in the movie.

  So although he has debuted now, he is not even considered a third-line artist. Moreover, Xiang Nan didn't think he was handsome at all. And Kristen Stewart is not Xiang Nan's dish, so he is not going to praise them.

  Xiang Nan is preparing to audition Bella and Edward in a comprehensive audition. On the one hand, he will build momentum for "Twilight Saga", and on the other hand, he will choose the most suitable actors.

  …

   And when the news of the auditions for Bella and Edward came out, Universal Pictures immediately received tens of thousands of resumes, hoping to compete for these two roles.

   On the one hand, "Twilight" is the most popular fantasy novel in recent years, except for "Harry Potter", and it is very popular among teenagers.

   And how popular the adaptation of "Harry Potter" is, anyone who is not blind can see it, so they naturally want to grab this big pie.

   On the one hand, Xiang Nan's products must be high-quality products, and it is by no means empty talk. This movie is supervised by Xiang Nan himself, and the script is reviewed by him himself, so the quality must be guaranteed.

  Whoever can star in this movie will definitely be popular, so everyone is naturally enthusiastic.

  Xiang Nan was also very satisfied with this, and told the casting director to be careful and choose the most suitable actors.
