Chapter 1832 1834 [Paving the Road]
Beverly Hills mansion.
"Charles, I didn't expect you to cook such delicious steak." Mia Sarah said with a smile.
"Spring is not a day to study" has been filmed and is expected to be officially released in March. After the film was finished, Xiang Nan asked Miya Sara to visit her home.
Sure enough, they will come when they are called.
After arriving, Xiang Nan personally cooked for her.
This surprised Mia. She thought that when she arrived, she would be bitten and ravaged wantonly by Xiang Nan's birds, and she was ready to sacrifice.
After all, for a young artist like her, it is not easy to get a rough ride.
But unexpectedly, when she arrived, Xiang Nan offered to cook for her.
Mia was a little puzzled and a little apprehensive, wondering if he had any quirks. The plot of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" even flashed through my mind.
The killer in that movie has the habit of killing and eating the same kind, so she was once frightened and turned pale.
But it turns out she was totally scaring herself.
Xiang Nan didn't touch her at all, but cooked the steak instead.
And the taste is surprisingly good, better than any steak Mia has ever eaten.
"Do you have any secret?" She asked curiously.
"One word is: heart." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Steaks can only be made with heart."
"So it is." Mia nodded.
"Actually, I haven't cooked for a long time." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I don't want to bother eating alone. I am very happy today to have you with me."
"Then you can find a companion." Mia suggested.
"It's too difficult." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Too many women approach me, just wanting to use me. Instead of being with them, I'd rather choose someone."
"Then why did you invite me again?" Mia asked curiously.
"Because I feel that you are different." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "The first time I saw your photo, I thought you were a pure, kind, and lovely girl. You are the heroine."
"Really, thank you." Mia was very happy to hear him say that.
"I even think you are my muse, because after I see you, inspiration keeps popping up in my mind." Xiang Nan laughed, "You fill me with longing for creation, and my next movie will probably be made by You act."
Mia's eyes lit up.
She knows that every creator has his own muse, such as Picasso's lover Gundam, Francis Bacon's Dale, Dali's wife Gala, Monet's wife Camille and so on.
These muses are also able to be famous forever because of these artists.
If she can really become Xiang Nan's muse, it is no exaggeration to say that at least she will be among the top stars. Even fame is possible.
Therefore, she felt both honored and excited, and she was also very enthusiastic and active in the next intimate contact.
…
Xiang Nan has no shortage of women.
With his current status, many women are willing to sacrifice themselves.
But there is still a difference between passive sacrifice and active dedication.
Xiang Nan doesn't like coercion, after all, the melon that is twisted is not sweet. I also don't like simple transactions, what's the difference between that and special industries.
However, what he said was not all lies.
He did have a script, for Mia Sara.
This can be regarded as compensation for her.
…
In mid-January, "Plan A Sequel" starring Jackie Chan was officially launched.
This film is his first work after his transformation, with a total investment of more than 18 million Hong Kong dollars. Even at the time, it was a big cost.
Because of this, Jackie Chan was very worried for a while, fearing that he would cause the company to lose money, so he was very nervous when filming, and even scolded and cried Guan Zhilin, who co-starred with him.
Guan Zhilin gave a small report to Xiang Nan for this, and asked Xiang Nan to teach Jackie Chan a lesson and vent his anger.
Although Xiang Nan agreed, he didn't tell Jackie Chan.
Because he knows that if a movie is to be made well, excellence is essential.
Like Wang Jiawei, Liu Jialing asked Liu Jialing to wipe the floor from night to dawn, and wiped it 27 times before calling it a day. It is also his demanding requirements that make "Days of Being Wild" a classic.
In fact, it is precisely because of Jackie Chan's excellence that the quality of "Plan A Sequel" is guaranteed.
Therefore, although the film lacked the support of the two superstars Yuan Biao and Sammo Hung, the box office did not lose to "Plan A".
In the end, the film won a super high box office of 28 million Hong Kong dollars, which was a good start for Real Kung Fu Films. Jackie Chan also proved his box office appeal with this movie.
Since then, he has become a veritable kung fu superstar in the Xiangjiang film industry, and he has truly taken over Xiang Nan's class.
…
"Aaron, well done, you really didn't disappoint me." Xiang Nandu made a special phone call to congratulate him, "From now on, the Xiangjiang film world will depend on you."
"Mr. Ning, it's thanks to you making way for me." Jackie Chan said gratefully.
If Xiang Nan is still filming the "Police Story" series, he knows that he will never be able to be in charge.
Because the water in the Xiangjiang film circle is really too shallow to support a few big fish. The rise of one superstar means the fall of another superstar.
Just like in the 1970s, after the rise of Bruce Lee, Wang Yu quickly passed away.
Xiang Nan's "Police Story" series is the same style as his "Plan A Sequel", all of which are hot-blooded police detectives catching gangsters. And Xiang Nan was more desperate than him, he didn't dare to try dangerous moves like leaping from a 20-storey building.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan started filming the "Best Partner" series three years ago and changed to a funny route. And there are fewer fighting scenes, and more computer special effects are used, which leads to the loss of some fans.
And this part of fans who like **** action movies turned around and fell in love with him, which allowed him to succeed in the position smoothly. Otherwise, with Xiang Nan around, he would still be the second child.
"You're welcome. After you make another blockbuster and consolidate your position, come to Hollywood to develop. I've paved the way for you." Xiang Nan laughed.
Jackie Chan broke into Hollywood in 1995 with "Red Fan District". At that time, he was already forty years old. Although he was still able to play, he had to say that his peak period was almost over.
Xiang Nan wanted to arrange for him to enter Hollywood earlier, this way would not only benefit his development. And it can also make room for a superstar position in the Xiangjiang film industry.
After all, as long as there is Jackie Chan, it will be difficult for others to get on top.
Hearing what he said, Jackie Chan was even happier.
As an aspiring filmmaker, he naturally wants to be an international superstar. However, he also knows that Hollywood is not easy to mix.
Xiang Nan was so capable that he was almost kicked out that year. If no one paved the way, with his own strength, he might not be able to get ahead at all.
"Okay, I will." Jackie Chan agreed.
