Chapter 1845 1847 [Cindy Crawford]
As soon as the "Die Hard 3" project came out, it passed the review, and the preparations began immediately.
In terms of actors, Xiang Nan also chose Samuel Jackson as his partner, which made him unbelievable for a while.
Because Jackson graduated with a bachelor's degree in drama, but because of his black identity, it is difficult for him to stand out in the American theater circle.
After graduation, I spent ten years without a decent role. Can only act in dramas, play tricks, and live in poverty. It wasn't until 1991 that he won the Best Supporting Actor at the Cannes Film Festival for his role in "Jungle Fever", and he began to attract the attention of the industry.
In 1994, he starred in "Pulp Fiction" and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor before he finally became popular and became a Hollywood star.
So now he is actually still playing tricks, acting in dramas, struggling to survive on the small screen, and living a very miserable life.
It is precisely because of this that when Xiang Nan invited him to star in "Die Hard 3", and his role was no less than that of the leading actor, he was knocked out by Hengfu today.
After the outside world heard the news, they also reported it one after another, praising Samuel Jackson's good luck.
"Cooperating with Charles, he has won the lottery."
"It's no exaggeration to say that he is the luckiest kid in the New York entertainment industry."
"Charles can always surprise us, and his casting seems to have never failed. Let us look forward to Jackson's performance."
Media reports made Samuel L. Jackson become one of the most watched stars in Hollywood overnight from a nobody.
The reason for this was simply that Xiang Nan wanted to choose him as his partner in the new film. This also reflects Xiang Nan's power in Hollywood to a certain extent.
…
"Die Hard 3" then began filming.
Although in the film John faces many dangers and seems to be in a panic, in fact, Xiang Nan's life was very comfortable during the filming.
Because Hollywood action movies use more special effects and stunts. For example, when shooting an explosion scene, the actors perform in front of the green screen, and then cut out the pictures for special effects in post-production. Not only is it not dangerous, but it is very interesting.
In comparison, Xiangjiang film technology is backward. To shoot this kind of explosion scene, it is a real explosion, and the actors have to perform in it, which shows the danger.
Chow Yun-fat and Wu Yusen were filming "Hard Detective", and in the scene where the hospital exploded, he almost died in the flames. After that, the two never worked together again.
Between filming, Xiang Nan mainly participated in some public welfare activities, donated money, donated goods, and created his own handsome and kind-hearted persona, and his life was quite fulfilling.
In addition, during filming in New York, Xiang Nan also met Cindy Crawford, one of the five supermodels in the future.
Of course, to be precise, she actually posted it backwards.
Cindy Crawford was born in 1966 and started modeling at the age of 16. Within a few years, she had become one of the most famous models in Chicago. But she was not willing to stop here, so she came to New York to develop in 1986.
Xiang Nan met her at a reception organized by the New York entertainment circle. As a supermodel, Cindy Crawford is very beautiful and has a good figure, so she is very popular with the guests.
Many people surrounded her to show courteousness, but Crawford fixed his eyes on Xiang Nan.
Although Xiang Nan sent her back to the hotel, he didn't follow her that day. This is done out of prudence.
You must know that big trees attract wind. For a superstar and a leading producer like him, some people envy and worship him, and wish to embrace his thick body; others are jealous and hate, wishing to drag him off the altar.
In these years, Xiang Nan has suffered a lot.
It's just that he is cautious, keeps himself clean, and lives in seclusion, so it is not easy for others to deal with him.
Yes, although Xiang Nan has a richer love history, compared to other Hollywood stars, he is really self-disciplined enough.
Hollywood is crazier than him, more depraved than him, much more messy than him.
For example, NWA, which became famous by rap, often holds parties and often invites hundreds of beauties to participate. And this is not uncommon in Hollywood.
Before Xiang Nan found out about Crawford, he naturally wouldn't have anything to do with her easily. Without this caution, he would have overturned the car countless times.
Although Cindy Crawford was a little disappointed, she also knew that haste makes waste in this kind of thing, so she didn't pester her blindly.
A few days later, Xiang Nan found out about Crawford and tried to get in touch with her for a while, but he didn't find any major problems with her, so he came together with her.
I have to say that a supermodel is a supermodel. Not only is she good-looking and has a good figure, but more importantly, her clothes are also good. It's just a clothes hanger, wearing a sack, can step out of the runway style, and Xiang Nan has gained a lot of happiness.
Of course, he also reciprocated, promising to help Cindy Crawford prepare a role in his own movie.
Actually being a supermodel is far less enjoyable than making money as a celebrity.
It seems that Crawford has been busy for a year, walking shows, shooting covers, and accepting commercials. He can't make a million dollars a year.
By comparison, stars like Michelle Pfeiffer, Kim Cattrall, and Mia Sara all earn more than $5 million a year.
More importantly, they can get a lot of copyright fees every year for the movies they star in. From hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands.
And no matter how many covers Crawford shoots, the copyright belongs to the magazine. Even if she publishes an autobiography in the future, if she wants to quote some pictures, she has to buy the copyright from the magazine first.
Therefore, models all hope to develop into the film and television industry. The film and television industry also likes these beauties very much, and many artists are models. Such as Halle Berry, Jennifer Connelly, Charlize Theron, Megan Fox and many more.
…
In May, the Cannes Film Festival opened.
Carole Buguet participated in this film festival with her starring "Fallen Angel", and Giuseppe Tornatore with his directed "Paradise Cinema".
Both these two films are related to Xiang Nan, one is written by him and the other is invested by him. Therefore, although he did not show up in Cannes, the media resolutely reported on him many times.
Although Ren Ren is not in Cannes, Cannes still has his legend.
Subsequently, news came that both films were unanimously affirmed by film critics and successfully shortlisted for the winners list.
In the end, "Paradise Cinema" won the Palme d'Or, while "Fallen Angel" won the Jury Prize, and both films were successful.
Especially Carol Buguet, who is not only the leading actor of "Fallen Angels", but also the producer of this film. With this movie, she also realized the transformation from an idol group to a powerful group, making everyone notice her other talents besides appearance.
