Chapter 1836 1838 [Nicole Kidman]
"Best Partner 4" was subsequently filmed in Australia.
Because Xiang Nan is an international superstar, he went to the University of Macau to shoot scenes, which was very popular with the local government and supported him in all aspects.
For example, there is a scene in "Best Partner 4", where Xiang Nan drives the plane and lands on the road. Without further ado, the local government blocked a road for him to film.
But this is not as good as Jackie Chan, his brother was shooting scenes at the Sydney Opera House. And that landmark building, Tom Cruise didn't want to lend it back then.
…
"Hi, Charles, it's an honor to work with you." Nicole Kidman said excitedly when she saw Xiang Nan.
She never thought that it would be a blessing from heaven for a small artist like her to be able to cooperate with a superstar like Xiang Nan.
You know, on the day she was selected as the heroine of Xiangnan chips, the media in the history of Australia reported on her, praising her as the chosen daughter, the pride of Australians, and saying that she might take this opportunity to go to Hollywood goes so far.
This naturally made Nicole Kidman's vanity burst. After all, she has only debuted for two years, she is not deeply involved in the world, and her mind is not mature enough. It's easy to be flattered if you are praised a few more times.
"It's an honor for me too." Xiang Nan laughed.
Eighteen-year-old Nicole Kidman looks really juicy, no wonder she was once named the most beautiful woman in the world.
"Charles, please forgive me for being curious. I didn't submit my resume or participate in the audition. How did you choose me to play the leading role?" Nicole Kidman asked curiously.
Generally speaking, casting a role requires going through many procedures such as submitting resumes, sea auditions, second and third rounds of auditions, finalizing the finale, and many other procedures before deciding who will play the role.
Especially for the main roles of large investments, the selection is even stricter. It is impossible to make a final decision without choosing for more than half a year. It even takes several years to select actors for some film and television dramas.
But Nicole Kidman neither submitted a resume nor participated in the audition. Instead, she directly received an invitation to perform. To be honest, at that moment, she herself was in a daze.
If she hadn't confirmed repeatedly that she was indeed partnering with Xiang Nan, she would have suspected it was a prank. So she was always curious about how Xiang Nan chose her.
"I think it's probably called fate." Xiang Nan smiled, "Maybe it's because of my talent, I can always get some inspiration, either from creation, from artists, or from investment ...I sensed from somewhere that there is a suitable actor in Australia, and sure enough I found you."
"Wow, it's amazing." Nicole Kidman exclaimed.
Although she is not too superstitious, Xiang Nan's success is obvious. Since its debut, all movies have never failed. Especially in Hollywood, every movie can be in the top ten box office charts.
So he really has that talent, maybe. Also, she's inclined to think he has that talent. Doesn't this show that she is the chosen daughter?
"It's really amazing." Xiang Nan nodded, "However, even though you are the chosen daughter of heaven, you still have to work hard. There is an old saying in China that everything depends on man's efforts, and man will conquer nature. If you don't work hard enough, then destiny will also become .”
"I know, I will." Nicole Kidman nodded.
…
"Best Partner 4" started shooting immediately.
In the United States, after seven months of filming and two months of post-production, "Top Gun" is finally officially released.
Xiang Nan certainly didn't have that much face. In fact, as a Chinese, he only produced the script and selected two actors for this project. He didn't even dare to touch the rest, for fear that he would be invited to drink coffee by the FBI, CIA or NSA one day.
These military resources were found by Columbia Pictures.
Hollywood film companies have always been important publicity windows for the United States. This has been the case from World War II to the Cold War. Therefore, if you shoot war scenes, you will often get support.
The reason why this movie was released in May is mainly to avoid a collision with "Back to the Future 2".
In Hollywood, there has always been a sequel curse.
For example, the box office and word-of-mouth of the sequel of "Jaws" are far worse than the first one; the box office and word-of-mouth of the sequel of "The Omen" also collapsed; the box office of "Cannonball Run 2" is not even half of the previous work...
However, Xiang Nan's movie, the sequel, has a better reputation and box office than the previous one.
For example, the "Dragon King" series, three consecutive films have entered the top ten of the annual box office rankings, and the word-of-mouth has also maintained a good reputation; Even better examples.
Therefore, in the face of "Back to the Future 2", which will be released in the summer vacation, many blockbusters have chosen to avoid it, lest there will be a car crash and become cannon fodder.
That's why "Top Gun" chose to release it in advance.
…
Although its starring Tom Cruise is not well-known, and movies about the Air Force rarely appear in Hollywood, but because it is Xiang Nan's project, everyone is more optimistic about this movie.
After the movie was released, the box office response did not disappoint everyone's expectations. On its first day of release, it grossed more than $6 million at the box office.
More importantly, the attendance rate was still booming the next day. This shows that its quality has been recognized by the audience and won the love of the audience.
Otherwise, even if the audience is tricked into the theater for a while, the box office will plummet the next day.
Over the next month or so, the box office of "Top Gun" remained at a high level, winning the top box office rankings for four consecutive weeks. In the end, it was released after two and a half months, and its cumulative box office reached 180 million US dollars.
Such achievements have attracted the attention of Hollywood.
An unpopular theme, a second-tier artist, combined, but created a super high box office of 180 million US dollars.
You know, as of 1985, in the history of North American films, there were not many films with a box office of more than 100 million US dollars, only a few dozen. Unlike later generations, the box office of movies can easily exceed 100 million.
So at that time, the box office in North America exceeded 100 million, which was quite a remarkable achievement, enough to be famous in film history.
The person who turns a stone into gold is undoubtedly Xiang Nan.
It's his project, his script, the actors he chose... He is naturally responsible for such a great success.
…
Not to mention June, "Back to the Future 2" will be released.
As the sequel to the popular movie "Back to the Future", it has attracted a lot of attention in itself. Now when it's released, its fans flock to theaters immediately.
The quality of "Back to the Future 2" has not disappointed them, and the story is still novel and interesting, so it is very popular. The final box office was 118 million US dollars, and the North American box office once again exceeded 100 million.
