Chapter 1829 1831 [Lethal Weapon]
Although Carol knows that Xiang Nan has many successful works, such as "Die Hard", "Ghostbusters", "Dragon Boy" and so on, which have created extremely high box office results.
But those are basically commercial films, which are blockbusters, but the artistic level is not high, and Carroll doesn't like it. So although Xiang Nan's talent is high, she doesn't quite recognize it.
It’s like Wang Jing, who obviously has so many box office and word-of-mouth works, but people’s first reaction when they mention him is still shit, bad movies, and vulgar!
However, after she finished watching "Fallen Angels", Carroll immediately changed her mind.
Xiang Nan's script is so well written, it vividly writes the love-hate entanglement between men and women in the mortal city. She has been in the industry for nearly ten years, and she has never seen such a good script.
Suddenly there was an impulse in her heart, if Xiang Nan persuaded her to keep her again, she would nod and agree to stay.
However, to her pity, Xiang Nan didn't keep her until she got into the boarding gate.
"Charles, if you want me to stay, then I am willing to stay for you." Carol couldn't help herself, and turned to Xiang Nan and shouted.
"No need, I hope, you want to stay on your own." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
Carol shed tears, and she could hear Xiang Nan's pride.
Before he asked her if she wanted to develop in Hollywood, he was already showing her favor, but it was a pity that she rejected the kindness. Proud of him, he won't mention it a second time, and give people the chance to reject him.
Carol did not choose to stay in the end, because she is also a proud woman.
…
After "Best Partner 3" was finished, Xiang Nan went to the United States to prepare three films: "Top Gun", "Back to the Future 2" and "Spring is Not a Day for Reading".
After arriving in Hollywood, Xiang Nan received a lot of invitations.
The bank wants to talk to him about investment, the studio wants to talk to him about cooperation, and the artist wants to talk to him about casting...
But Xiang Nantong refused.
Because this kind of social entertainment of welcoming and sending is the most depressing. Although Xiang Nan is good at dealing with people, he prefers to be alone unless necessary.
Furthermore, the three projects have already been finalized in his mind.
Accepting other people's invitations and discussing cooperation with them made him feel like cheating for food and drink, money and sex, and bluffing and deceiving.
However, because every movie that Xiang Nan produces is a hit, all the actors involved in the show can become popular, such as Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Fox, Leigh Thompson, Kim Cattrall, Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah and more.
Therefore, now Hollywood entertainers want to cooperate with him. Even those top superstars are no exception, after all, no one minds being more popular.
Therefore, the male and female protagonists of the two dramas "Spring is Not a Day for Reading" and "Top Gun" have become battlegrounds for military strategists, and the competition is extremely fierce.
What's more, he ran directly to the hotel where he was staying, opened the door of the room through some unknown means, and lay on the bed directly. He bluntly said that if she is given a role, then she is his. There are even men among them.
Although Xiang Nan wasn't afraid, being harassed like this made him feel very depressed. Therefore, in order to avoid being disturbed again, he made a decisive decision and announced the candidates for the main roles.
Among them, "Top Gun" starred Tom Cruise and Michelle Pfeiffer, and "Spring Is Not a School Day" starred Nicolas Cage, Mia Sara, and Jim Carrey.
Mia Sara is the goddess of a generation of Chinese people. In the 1980s and 1990s, the movies she starred in appeared in CCTV’s Zhengda Theater many times, so she is known as Zhengda Goddess.
Xiang Nan watched "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" starring her, and was shocked. Moreover, her appearance in "Spring is not a day to study" is also quite amazing and quite attractive.
…
"Charles, think again about the heroine of "Spring Is Not a Day to Study." Agent Wilson persuaded, "Diane Lane is willing to take a pay cut."
Diane Lynn was one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood in the 1980s. At the age of thirteen, he was selected by Francis Coppola, the director of the "Godfather" trilogy, to star in "Betta Fish" and "The Outsider".
It's a pity that the subsequent development is somewhat weak. This is also related to her casting vision. She has been offered olive branches in several big projects.
Even the "Longwei Boy" that Xiang Nan once starred in gave her an olive branch. But she refused, and instead accepted several movies such as "Desperate Little Mandarin Duck" and "Scent of a Dangerous Woman".
As a result, several films lost money, and their reputation was also a mess.
Hollywood is the most realistic, no matter how many representative works you have before, as long as you hurt the boss and lose money, then there is no place for you here.
Diane Lynn was comparable to Hollywood's first-tier when she was the hottest, but now she is at best a second-tier leader. Although she is still popular, if there are no more suitable works, she will find no such person soon.
After all, Hollywood has always been highly competitive, like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.
"Diane Lane?!" Xiang Nan frowned, and finally waved his hand.
Although she is also very suitable for this role, Xiang Nan still thinks Mia Sara is more suitable. After all, the original filter was causing trouble, and when he thought of the heroine, Mia Sara appeared in his mind.
"Diane Lane is not bad, but the heroine has already been decided, and she doesn't have a role. If she is willing to play the role, then let her play the hero's sister. There are many roles for that role." Xiang Nan thought about it.
"Then I'll discuss it with her." The agent nodded.
Subsequently, Diane Lynn took over the role of the heroine's sister, and "Spring Is Not a School Day", "Top Gun" and "Back to the Future 2" began shooting soon.
Xiang Nan himself also came up with a new project "Lethal Weapon".
This movie, originally starring Mel Gibson and Danny Grove, tells the story of a pair of police partners to suppress a drug gang.
Compared with other gangster movies, this movie is more realistic and thrilling. Especially the male protagonist, who is crazier than John McLean. He tried to commit suicide many times, which is why he got the nickname [Lethal Weapon].
After the film was released, it received great acclaim. Not only did it earn hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, but it also made Mel Gibson famous and officially gained a firm foothold in Hollywood.
That's why Xiang Nan prepared to shoot this movie in order to continue his undefeated box office myth.
