Chapter 1842 1844 [Marriage reminder]
Hollywood can't help but envy Xiang Nan's good luck after hearing Xiang Nan's unintentional success story.
They want to make a blockbuster movie, and they want to make their hair fall out.
Xiang Nan just walked around casually, invested a random investment, and made a blockbuster movie. The global box office is 360 million US dollars, which is like a myth.
"It's incredible how he did it!"
"His luck is too good, it is lower than the odds of Zhongda lotto."
"I thought he was just relying on luck, but now it seems that luck is also part of strength."
Everyone said with emotion.
Only Nicole Kidman said to Xiang Nan mysteriously, "Charles, I know, you must have a sense again, right?"
Before, Xiang Nan told her that he had a certain sense, knowing which movie might hit the market and which star might become popular. At first she was a little skeptical, but now she really believed it.
Because the truth is right in front of you. How else to explain the success of Crocodile Dundee? ! Even she couldn't believe that a wild Australian film could achieve such a miracle at the box office.
Xiang Nan smiled, with a secretive expression on his face, "Don't tell anyone about this."
"I know, this is our little secret." Nicole blinked, smiled and nodded, "Then Charles, what do you think of my future stardom?"
"It must be a big hit, among the first in Hollywood." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "You don't have to doubt this at all."
"Really?! That's great." Nicole laughed happily when she heard that.
"However, don't tell the outside world. We in China are particular about this kind of good luck, and it won't work if you tell it." Xiang Nan reminded, "It is said that if other evil spirits know about it, it will interfere with your luck."
"I understand, I understand." Nicole nodded immediately.
…
In February, "Red Sorghum", invested and produced by Xiang Nan, went to the Berlin Film Festival again to attack the Golden Bear Award.
Xiang Nan couldn't get away because the movie "Ghostbusters 2" was in the critical moment of wrapping up, so he could only give his blessings from across the sea.
Actually, it's not that Xiang Nan didn't do anything except blessing. He also kept Carol Bouquet and Giuseppe Tornadore out of the race.
"Fallen Angels" starring Carol Buguet and "Cinema Paradise" directed by Giuseppe Tornadore have all been completed, and they were originally going to compete for the Golden Bear Award.
However, Xiang Nan knew that the quality of these two films was really high. He was afraid that "Red Sorghum" directed by Zhang Yimou would be impacted, so he urged them to stop participating.
Fortunately, they all owe Xiang Nan a favor, so they all agreed to his request. However, Xiang Nan also owed a new favor because of this, and he will have to pay back the same in the future.
Because two major rivals were lost, "Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear Award in the end.
Although Cong Shan did not win the Best Actress Award again, she was also qualified to be shortlisted, which is not bad.
…
At the end of February, "Ghostbusters 2" was finished, and just as the Berlin Film Festival was over, Xiang Nan asked Cong Shan to come to the United States to play.
"Ning Wei, because of you, I almost won the Best Actress Award at the Berlin Film Festival." Cong Shan laughed.
"You're welcome. You belong to me, and I belong to you. There is no distinction between us." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.
Xiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Why, you want to marry me so impatiently and have a son for me?"
"I hate it, who is in a hurry!" Cong Shan said shyly when she heard it.
"I don't think there is any rush to get married. Now is the rising period of your career, and you have achieved your current achievements with great difficulty. Once you get married, you have to return to your family, and your fame and status will be gone. All the hard work is in vain." Xiang Nan then persuaded, "
Do you still remember when you were filming "The Wrangler", you went to the horse farm to experience life, took off the adobe for a month, and chopped off your fingernails? Do you still remember the filming of "Old Well", when you went to the countryside to experience life, did you cut your hands while harvesting wheat?
Shanshan, everything you have now was bought with your hard work. I really can't bear it, you give it up so easily. "
Hearing what he said, Cong Shan blinked, thinking it made sense.
"We are still very young now. I am only twenty-seven, and you are only twenty-four. Why worry?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Listen to me, wait another two years. When our careers are stable, we will , I will definitely marry you gracefully."
Hearing what he said, Cong Shan nodded.
She believed that Xiang Nan would not lie to her. For so many years, Xiang Nan has treated her very well. Helped her with revision in high school, helped her make up lessons in college, and helped her film after graduation...
She was just twenty-three years old, and she was already the queen of the Berlin Film Festival. Not to mention her classmates, even the seniors in the circle can't compare with her.
Xiang Nan treats her so well, she naturally doesn't believe that Xiang Nan will lie to her.
…
Xiang Nan had a good time with Cong Shan in the United States, and did not send her back until March.
When parting, Xiang Nan handed the script of "Ju Dou" to Cong Shan and asked her to take it back to Zhang Yimou.
If he thinks it is suitable, then prepare to start shooting. If he doesn't think it's appropriate, talk about other things at that time.
In addition to the "Ju Dou" project, Xiang Nan also restarted the "Police Academy" series.
The first part of this series sold well at the box office, and a sequel should have been planned as soon as possible. However, after the drama became popular, the leading actor immediately took over and filmed a lot of dramas, resulting in no schedule for two consecutive years.
Fortunately, he lost all of his films, and now he has degenerated into a second- and third-tier artist, so he pointed to the restart of the "Police Academy" series to make him popular again.
So Xiang Nan also took hold of him this time and asked him to sign an agreement, agreeing that the next schedule must be given priority to the "Police Academy" series. Otherwise, you will have to pay high losses.
The actor Steve Gartenberg had no choice but to sign the agreement first. Otherwise, this time "Police Academy 2", Xiang Nan will consider changing the male lead.
And he lost the project, which is equivalent to losing the opportunity to stand up. Since then, he has been on his way to becoming a former star on the 18th line, and has been racing all the way.
…
"Police Academy 2" began shooting immediately. Xiang Nan also took out three other projects: "East Town Witch", "Emergency Tracking Order", and "The Secret of My Success".
"East Town Witches" tells the story of three beauties using witchcraft to find true love. It is a fantasy and suspenseful romance film.
This movie was not only a success at the box office, but was also adapted into an American drama a few years later. It can be seen that the value of IP is still very sufficient.
"Emergency Tracking Order" tells the story of two police officers who were ordered to track the girlfriend of a jailbreaker, but fell in love with her accidentally.
This movie is a comedy with an interesting plot, so it did well at the box office.
"The Secret of My Success" tells the story of an office boy who pretends to be an executive to give orders, and finally succeeds in making Bai Fumei and reaching the pinnacle of life.
This is also a comedy. This type of film is also the easiest film to achieve high box office at a low cost.
