Chapter 1809 1811【I support you as my successor】
When "Police Story 2" was under intense filming, in August, "Longwei Boy 2" was officially released.
Xiang Nan had no choice but to leave the police 2 crew and go to Hollywood to do promotion.
The publicity strategy is still to hype gossip. Before filming Dragon 2, Xiang Nan had already dismantled the CP with Michelle Pfeiffer.
At that time, this love affair occupied the entertainment page for almost a month.
Now, he is going to stir up a reunion scandal with Brooke Shields.
This is also the publicity strategy that was originally planned.
So, soon the photos of Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields shopping, dancing, eating and playing together were published by the media.
"Charles and Brooke Shields seem to be in love again, and they went to a pet shelter to adopt pets~"
"Boji Shields praised Charles for being smart, capable, and personable, and declared that he was her ideal type."
"Charles praised Brooke Shields for being beautiful, smart, and educated, and declared that he would choose her style when he married his wife in the future."
"Boji Shields denies dating Charles, saying that the other party is just a close friend, because she is too familiar to do it."
"Charles denies that he broke up with Michelle because he cheated on Brooke Shields, and denies being in love with Brooke Shields."
Although these gossips are all old tunes, the content of the news is not much different from the last time the "Longwei Boy" was hyped.
It was all reporters who took various intimate scenes of Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields, and then Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields just refused to admit it.
The same routine, the same trap, they will still keep falling, and will not change after repeated admonitions. It's the same everywhere.
For example, everyone knows that idols are fake personalities, and there are not a few houses that have collapsed. But every time a new idol comes out, there are still a lot of people frantically chasing after them, and they can't be woken up.
Therefore, these scandals still received a lot of attention.
It is reflected in the box office, that is, after the release of "Longwei Boy 2", the box office has always been hot.
On the first day of its release, it grossed more than five million US dollars at the box office. And in the first week of its release, it won the weekly box office ranking champion with a box office of 15 million US dollars.
Seeing this, everyone can see that "Dragon Might Boy 2" is another blockbuster, and Warner is about to make a fortune this time, which is naturally envied by everyone.
Because of this, many companies came up with Xiang Nan's idea, and offered conditions one after another, hoping to cooperate with him.
Although Xiang Nan didn't intend to change his partner, since he sent benefits to his door, he naturally had no reason to refuse. So he asked CAA to watch for him to see if he could get the best conditions.
…
After the ten-day promotional period ended, Xiang Nan returned to Xiangjiang to continue filming "Police Story 2".
At this time, "Project A" starring Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuan Biao was finally pushed to the screen after more than half a year of production.
Although this action movie is also from the late Qing Dynasty, it is no longer the traditional Kung Fu movie routine of making enemies, practicing martial arts, and revenge. On the contrary, its story line is more complex, the content is richer, and the fighting is more arbitrary and enjoyable.
Coupled with the tacit cooperation of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuan Biao, "Project A" became very popular as soon as it was released, no less than "Best Partner" released more than a month ago.
This is also the highest box office in the history of Xiangjiang Films except for "Police Story" and "Best Partner" starring Xiang Nan, which is two million higher than the Xu Brothers' "Modern Bodyguard".
It is precisely because of this that Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuan Biao are brothers who have become one of the most popular action stars in Hong Kong, and their popularity is only slightly worse than Xiang Nan.
This also makes other companies envious. Why do all the outstanding talents go to Golden Harvest?
Luo Wei was even more regretful.
He already knew that Jackie Chan had the potential to be popular, so he has been praising him. It's a pity that such a valuable star was bought by someone for only one million Hong Kong dollars. It's really unsatisfactory to think about it.
…
"Aaron, "Plan A" is such a hit, I really want to congratulate you." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Mr. Ning, it's all thanks to your well-written script, otherwise we wouldn't have such a high box office." Jackie Chan waved his hand.
Script script, the book of a play. Unlike other filmmakers in Hong Kong who don't respect scripts and screenwriters, Jackie Chan is a person who attaches great importance to scripts.
He has cooperated with the well-known screenwriter Deng Jingsheng for more than 20 years, and they are a very good golden combination.
"No matter how good the script is, it needs good actors." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Aaron, this movie is thanks to you acting, otherwise it wouldn't be so good."
"You are too much." Jackie Chan said embarrassedly.
"By the way, I also wrote this script, you can see if it suits you." Xiang Nan handed over the script again.
"You don't need to read what you wrote, it must be useful." Jackie Chan said immediately after hearing it.
Xiang Nan's scripts are very successful in Hollywood, which has been tested by the market many times. As long as it doesn't look good, Xiang Nan won't be so popular anymore.
"Let's take a look first." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Jackie Chan nodded, took a look, and saw three large characters on the script—"Food Truck".
He then read it carefully and felt that the story was pretty good, especially when it was filmed overseas. This is definitely very attractive to Hong Kong audiences.
However, "Project A" took nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot in Xiangjiang for half a year. If you go overseas to shoot, the cost will definitely exceed 10 million in half a year, which seems a bit risky.
"Mr. Ning, your script is really good. But is it too expensive to go overseas for filming? Why don't you change the script and change it to Xiangjiang." Jackie Chan suggested.
The core of the story of "Food Truck" is that the three brothers protect the heroine so that she can obtain the inheritance smoothly. The identity of the heroine can be changed. It can be written as the illegitimate daughter of an earl or the illegitimate daughter of a billionaire...it does not affect the main structure of the movie.
"No, I still have to go overseas to shoot scenes." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "Only in this way can I highlight your grade. Aaron, I want to praise you as your successor.
To be my successor, you must have a grand vision and a grand scene. Only by going overseas to take pictures can you show your status and help you win more popularity.
As for money, you don't have to worry about it at all, I'm here. "
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Jackie Chan was very moved.
Xiang Nan is the No. 1 action movie superstar in Xiangjiang, and letting him take over is to make him the No. 1 superstar.
At that time, the popularity, money, and status will be unimaginable.
For him, it is really a great gift.
