Chapter 1813 1815 [Fairy lineup]
In December, "Police Story 2" was officially completed.
Xiang Nan couldn't wait for it to be released, so he rushed to the United States without stopping, where "The Expendables" was waiting for him.
This made Zhong Chuhong very reluctant.
They had just been together, less than a month, and they were not tired enough, so she couldn't bear to have to part ways.
"Be good, I will come back to see you after filming." Xiang Nan comforted her, "Or, you can come to America to visit the set."
Zhong Chuhong could only nod her head.
…
After Xiang Nan came to the United States, he saw many things, and Columbia Pictures had almost finished the preparations, leaving only the main actors waiting for him to choose.
"The Expendables" mainly has five characters, including four in the Expendables, and one heroine. In the original version, the four Death Squad members are set to be university professors.
But Xiang Nan is too young to be a professor, so he is set as a college student. Other characters are found according to his age.
In the end, Xiang Nan selected several excellent actors, namely Tom Hanks, Jim Carrey, Nicolas Cage, and Tom Cruise.
Such a cast can be called a fairy lineup. But in 1982, most of them were unknown.
Tom Hanks became popular with "The Mermaid" in 1985; Jim Carrey became popular with "Aeroplane" and "Grandmaid" in 1994; People" gained attention in the industry; Tom Cruise became popular with "Top Gun" in 1986...
So when Xiang Nan invited them to star in the super production "Ghostbusters" with an investment of more than 25 million US dollars, they all agreed without hesitation, and they didn't mean to shirk at all.
As for the heroine, Xiang Nan chose Phoebe Cates, a young actress who just became popular with "Open American University".
Although she is only a small supporting role in the film, she has become the dream lover of teenagers all over the United States with a set of **** scenes in the bath, even more popular than the heroine.
…
Seeing that Xiang Nan didn't choose herself as the heroine in the new movie, Brooke Shields and Michelle Pfeiffer both made a special call.
They all hope to star in this big production.
On the one hand, big-budget movies tend to be easier to sell, because big-budget movies have stronger star lineups, better production, and are more willing to spend money on publicity. With strong alliances, the possibility of box office hits is naturally greater.
On the one hand, Brooke Shields and Michelle Pfeiffer, although they have gained a certain reputation with "Dragon Boy" and "Die Hard", their follow-up development is not satisfactory.
Brooke Shields starred in the movie "School Probation" in "Dragon Boy 2", and Michelle Pfeiffer starred in "Critical Moment" after "Die Hard", the box office was in the doldrums without exception, which also made the two People's box office appeal has been questioned by the industry.
So they urgently need a movie with a good box office, which can let them get out of the quagmire of box office failure. This "Ghostbusters" was supposed to be their savior, but unexpectedly, Xiang Nan chose Phoebe Cates as the heroine, which naturally made them very aggrieved.
"I need some new faces, and the audience also wants to see fresh combinations." Xiang Nan explained, "Don't worry, I will still use "Die Hard 3/Die Hard 2"."
The reason why he chose Phoebe Cates was mainly because she was the new dream girl of all American teenagers, and he was a good target for him to flirt with. As for Brooke Shields and Michelle Pfeiffer in terms of appearance, although they are much better than Phoebe Cates, they are not fresh after all.
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Brooke Shields and Michelle Pfeiffer had no choice but to do so.
…
After the cast was assembled, the filming began immediately.
The filming process was relatively smooth. Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage, Jim Carrey, etc. are not big-name stars now, and they don’t even rank among the stars, at most they are third or fourth tier artist.
Xiang Nan is already a top Hollywood star, so when they cooperate, they try their best to please Xiang Nan. And Xiang Nan knew the potential of these people, so he was naturally willing to make friends with them.
So, everyone got along very well, and within a few days, Xiang Nan became friends with them.
As for Phoebe Cates, she was also willing to stir up scandals with Xiang Nan.
Although she is now the dream lover of American teenagers, everyone knows how quickly young people's minds change.
What's more, there are so many beauties in Hollywood with good looks and good figures. As long as they dare to take off and show off, anyone can copy her success.
Therefore, her status is very unstable, and she may be kicked out by a latecomer at any time.
Just like the so-called [Otaku Goddess], at the beginning, this title was more valuable. Later, there were more and more nerds and goddesses, and there were not enough nerds.
So in order to consolidate her status, she must also maintain her exposure and the support of good works.
And Xiang Nan is considered a top artist in today's Hollywood, no worse than Stallone, Al Pacino, and Harrison Ford.
If you hype the scandal with him, you will definitely be able to maintain a high degree of exposure. This has been verified by Brooke Shields and Michelle Pfeiffer. Every time the two of them had an affair with Xiang Nan, there would be quite a stir.
Moreover, Xiang Nan is capable of editing and acting, and has outstanding talent. If he has a good relationship with him, there will be many good works in the future. Therefore, Phoebe Cates and Xiang Nan hit it off.
Soon the photos of the two dating and kissing together were published in the media.
"Charles is dating Phoebe Cates, she's a perfect match~"
"Charles praised Phoebe for her bright and unpretentious personality, suspected to be connotation of ex-girlfriend Brooke Shields~"
"Phoebe Cates praised Xiang Nan for his talent and confidence in the box office of the new work."
"Boji Shields seems to have responded, hoping to find a dedicated boyfriend."
"Charles and Phoebe kiss, the relationship is real~"
"Phoebe Cates seems to respond to Brooke Shields, thinking that Charles is very cautious about his feelings."
"Michelle Pfeiffer speaks up and supports Phoebe Cates, Charles is not a man who plays with emotions."
"Shocking! Brooke Shields played with Charles's feelings, and the two of them got together because of her~"
The media's irresponsible reports and the intrusion of Brooke Shields and Michelle Pfeiffer made the gossip hype extraordinarily lively, and naturally occupied a lot of space, making Xiang Nan and Phoebe Cates, Brooke Shields, Michelle Pfeiffer's popularity has risen.
For them, this is naturally a good thing.
So everyone enjoyed it, and the hype became even more fierce.
And when Xiang Nan moved into Phoebe Cates' house and started living in the same room with her, the hype of the scandal also reached its peak.
