Chapter 1844 1846 [Angel Action]
"Miss Li, your performance in "Mr. Zombie" is very good, it really shines in my eyes." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
After "Mr. Zombie" became a hit, he asked Li Saifeng to drink coffee at the Peninsula Hotel.
"Thank you for your compliment." Li Saifeng nodded immediately, "This is what I should do."
"Okay, it's clear." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "This is what a person should do. He must know what he has, what he wants, and what he does. If you understand these three points, you will not be far from success. "
"Yes, thank you for your advice, I have written it down." Li Saifeng said immediately.
"That's good." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I intend to cast a female action movie. I think your looks and skills are good. How about it? Are you interested in taking this burden?"
Li Saifeng's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Of course I'm interested, Mr. Ning."
She made her debut in 1980 and became famous by playing Yang Yaman in Li's TV series "The Grace of the Earth", so she is also called Aman.
After that, she participated in film and television dramas such as "Drunken King Wuji", "Bo Niu", and "The Legend of Shushan". Although they are all protagonists, they have never been popular, and they always lack a little luck.
There is no one who enters the entertainment industry who does not want to be popular. Li Saifeng naturally hoped that she would become popular as soon as possible, so now hearing what Xiang Nan said, she was naturally very interested.
Because Xiang Nan is the most outstanding producer in Xiangjiang and even Hollywood, his films are all very popular. This is a well-known fact, which is why she has great confidence in Xiang Nan.
"Okay, as long as you are interested." Xiang Nan nodded, "Well, let's talk about the details when you come to my room."
Li Saifeng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
…
After some in-depth understanding, Li Saifeng took over the project "Angel Action".
This movie was originally starred in by her in 1987, and it resembles the hit drama "Charlie's Angels" in the 1970s in the United States. It is also a story about a special operations group named Angel, who accepts missions, punishes **** and eradicates evil, and maintains peace.
Although the box office of this kind of movie is not high in Xiangjiang, the box office of the first film is only 8 million Hong Kong dollars.
But in overseas markets, this type of movie is very popular, and there is even a special category called girl with gun (girl with gun). Therefore, although the box office of "Angel Action" is not high in Xiangjiang, it can still make three consecutive films.
Xiang Nan also knows that this type of film has an audience, so he is preparing to shoot it.
Li Saifeng didn't know this, and thought that Xiang Nan was praising her specially, so he was naturally excited and grateful, and thought that he had met true love, otherwise why would he praise her for real money.
For this reason, she treats Xiang Nan even better.
…
Xiang Nan stayed in Xiangjiang for half a month, during which time he broke up with Zhong Chuhong and Xia Wenxi.
On the one hand, we gather less and leave more, and we become increasingly estranged; on the other hand, the old does not go, and the new does not come.
Fortunately, the relationship between them has faded, so the breakup with the two of them was considered peaceful, and there was no major disturbance.
However, Xiang Nan kept Guan Zhilin. After all, a beauty of her rank is really rare, so it would be a pity to give up.
…
In April, Xiang Nan invested in three projects.
There is a saying in Xiangjiang, if the booger is delicious, it will pierce the nostrils. Wang Jing is like this now, he can't stop shooting when he catches an IP. As Guo Degang said, catch the toad and grab the melatonin.
One is "Angel Action" by Li Saifeng. Xiang Nan invested 10 million Hong Kong dollars in this movie, and is planning to invite artists from Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States to shoot together, trying to appear more international in order to attract more audiences.
One is "Mr. Zombie 2" by Liu Guanwei. Seeing that "Mr. Zombie" is so popular, Liu Guanwei naturally doesn't want to give up this golden job easily, and wants to make persistent efforts and make more movies to make money.
Xiang Nan fully satisfied his wish.
The three films were filmed together, and for a while, Real Kung Fu Films was booming, which was enviable.
But what they envy most is that Xiang Nan wants to take Jackie Chan to Hollywood to develop.
You must know that no one does not want to develop in Hollywood. After all, it is the center of gravity of the world's movies and a holy place that filmmakers all over the world yearn for.
Now that Jackie Chan is able to go there to develop, and he is still escorted by Xiang Nan, it is destined that he will go smoothly, jump into the dragon's gate, and become worth a hundred times, which is naturally envied by everyone.
"I don't know if we will have a chance in the future?"
"If there is one, there are two. If Jackie Chan can go, we can naturally go too."
"Mr. Ning has such a status in Hollywood, he will definitely bring more people to develop."
All the filmmakers in Xiangjiang said one after another.
It's just that Xiang Nan knows that this matter is very difficult to do.
On the one hand, in the United States, white and African Americans make up the vast majority, while Chinese Americans only make up a small part. As long as this basic market remains unchanged, it is impossible for Chinese Americans to become big in Hollywood.
On the one hand, Hong Kong filmmakers are not attractive to Hollywood. There is no shortage of acting in Hollywood, and there is no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women. Unless they can fill a void in Hollywood like Jackie Chan. Otherwise, they will face thousands of competitors, and it will be difficult to get ahead.
Just like Chow Yun-fat, one of the best actors in Xiangjiang, when he went to Hollywood, he could only make bad movies like "The Blood Is Still Cold" and "Bulletproof Monk". In the end, I couldn't stay any longer and had to come back. Because of Hollywood, there really is no place for him.
But he can't spoil everyone's fun at this time. Besides, he can't arrange the protagonist. It is not a problem to arrange some supporting roles. If they live up to it, the supporting cast can shine too.
Just like Brad Pitt, the reason why he became popular is that in "Thelma and Louise", he played a money-swindling boy, playing for less than ten minutes.
…
In mid-April, Xiang Nan left Xiangjiang and returned to the United States.
At this time, he received a call from Cong Shan.
After reading the script of "Ju Dou", Zhang Yimou was willing to make it into a movie. The leading role is naturally Cong Shan.
Xiang Nan was very happy to hear the news, and immediately arranged for people from Real Kung Fu Films to discuss specific cooperation matters.
Xiang Nan himself is preparing to start filming "Die Hard 3".
In the "Die Hard" series, Xiang Nan has already filmed two films, both of which have achieved very good box office and reputation.
John McClain has become synonymous with tough guys, and "Die Hard" has also become the benchmark for police action movies.
Its theme, its rhythm, its style, its lines, its soundtrack... are all borrowed and imitated by peers. That's what makes it so successful.
Given that the first two films were so successful, the third one was naturally ready and had to be launched.
