Chapter 1855 1857 [French Rose]
After "RoboCop", "Lethal Weapon 2" starring Xiang Nan, Danny Grove, Joe Pesci and Demi Moore is also officially released.
Because it is also a gangster film, the box office of "Lethal Weapon 2" was affected by "Robocop", and it dropped a bit when it was first released.
But soon, it won the recognition of the industry again by virtue of its super high quality.
"Although the plot of the film is a bit absurd, the scenes of the two protagonists laughing and cursing, as well as the action shootout scenes all continue the level of the previous episode, making the audience happy to watch." "Film Critics Association" magazine commented.
""Lethal Weapon 2" is quite exciting as a sequel. It basically continues the hot scenes and sense of humor of the first episode, and it has also been upgraded compared with the previous one. The rivalry between Charles and Danny Glover, the detective partner It is also becoming more and more proficient, and the chase and explosion scenes in the movie also make the audience hooked." The Los Angeles Times commented.
Coupled with Xiang Nan's box office appeal, the box office of "Lethal Weapon 2" exploded. In the end, the North American box office harvested 140 million US dollars.
Such a result is obviously much better than "Robocop".
…
During the hot screening of "Lethal Weapon 2", Lizhi, as an assistant, had the honor to accompany Xiang Nan to promote it.
Seeing with my own eyes how those well-known American talk show hosts interviewed him with hospitality; how those tens of thousands of fanatical fans waited day and night where he might appear... She couldn't help but respect Xiang Nan.
After all, she has studied in the United States, but she knows how racial discrimination those foreigners are, and she is arrogant. Therefore, Xiang Nan's popularity in the United States is really amazing in her opinion, and she can't help feeling admiration.
And they are already living together, once the relationship comes, it will come naturally.
…
In the second half of 1987, Xiang Nan started several projects.
One is "Flying Childhood". This is a comedy about a single mother looking for true love with her baby.
The highlight of this movie is that this child is actually a genius. He can speak from birth and has his own ideas. He belongs to the type of little ghost.
One is "Honey, I Shrunk the Children." It's a sci-fi comedy about a Frankenstein who inadvertently shrinks kids down, and the kids go on a thrilling and thrilling journey...
This is a fairly classic sci-fi comedy. It was broadcast on CCTV Channel 6 many times back then. Xiang Nan still remembers the plot...
One is "Dead Poets Society". This is an art film, which tells the story of a teacher who broke the rigid teaching mode of the school in the 1950s and led the students to learn to understand life, grasp life, and enjoy life.
This movie is a classic, and Robin Williams' interpretation can be said to be perfect. Even Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman thinks he can't play better than him.
So three movies started shooting immediately.
"Leap of Childhood" stars Mel Gibson, Pierce Brosnan and Meryl Streep.
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly, Macaulay Culkin and Jake Gyllenhaal.
"Dead Poets Society" starred by Robin Williams, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, Brooke Shields, etc.
…
Xiang Nan himself began to prepare for "Ghostbusters 3".
Xiang Nan has to change another group of players, and also needs to change the heroine.
But it's not Lizhi, but French actress Sophie Marceau.
Xiang Nan was lucky enough to meet her at the Cannes Film Festival this time, and she was really amazing. Her face, figure, and temperament are all perfect, no wonder she is known as the rose of France.
So Xiang Nan was going to send her an invitation.
After hearing the news that "Ghostbusters 3" was being filmed, Hollywood niches went crazy and sent their resumes to Xiang Nan one after another.
Being able to cooperate with Xiang Nan is the best chance for them to become famous.
Because the movie can not only sell well and help them gain popularity, but more importantly, they can get to know Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan is one of the most emotional filmmakers in Hollywood, almost all of his films are for friends.
For example, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Michael Fox, etc., they have all cooperated with Xiang Nan many times.
Everyone in Hollywood knows that as long as they have a good relationship with Xiang Nan, they will have countless leading roles. That being the case, who wouldn't want to cooperate more with Xiang Nan.
After screening, Xiang Nan finally chose Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Denzel Washington and Robert Downey Jr.
Subsequently, the movie was officially shot.
…
"Ghostbusters 3" is the last work of this series.
However, if the response is good, there may be spin-off movies in the future. After all, the world of "Ghostbusters" has already been structured by Xiang Nan. In the future, it is entirely possible to shoot some prequels, postqueries, side-passes, and so on.
Like "Terminator", George Lucas has structured the world, and it is entirely possible to create on the basis of it.
As the end of the trilogy, Xiang Nan also carved out the script with great care.
He designed a magical witch in this film, played by Sophie Marceau. She has existed for thousands of years and has appeared many times in human history.
In the West, she is Lilith, the Goddess of Darkness, in the East, she is the God of Dissimilarity, Queen Mother Xi, and in America, she is the God of Darkness, Discatripoca...
She was sealed away by the ancient exorcist until she was released, so she was ready to rule the world again. Therefore, the protagonist led a new team, and with the help of the ancient exorcist, finally sealed the witch again...
In this movie, Xiang Nan continued to expand the setting, extending the history of exorcists/ghostbusters to ancient times and barbaric times.
Moreover, he also hinted in the film that many ancient sages were once exorcists, such as Mozi, Aristotle, Zhang Heng, Da Vinci, Bodhidharma, Newton, Zhang Sanfeng, Tesla...
In this way, the world view of "Ghostbusters" is more grand and naturally more attractive.
Xiang Nan plans to wait for the future. After he acquires Marvel, he will let it take over the creation of comics. At that time, he might be able to explode, then he will earn double the money.
…
"Ghostbusters" then officially filmed in August.
At the same time, Jackie Chan's "The Chef of the Heart" was officially launched. In addition, under the recommendation of Xiang Nan, the novel "Dances with Wolves" written by Michael Blake was officially launched by Random House.
