Chapter 1871 1873【Remake】
In June, the sci-fi comedy "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," starring Jennifer Connelly, Ben Affleck, Macaulay Culkin and Jake Gyllenhaal, launched .
Jennifer Connelly was born in 1970 and participated in the filming of the movie "Once Upon a Time in America" in 1983.
This is an immortal masterpiece in film history, and its classic level is no less than that of the "Godfather" series. But it is a pity that before the movie was released, the investee cut the ten-hour movie to only two and a half hours. As a result, the storyline fell apart and became a mediocre gangster film, so it failed miserably at the box office.
It wasn't until the four-hour director's cut video came out a decade later that the film gained the fame it deserved. It's just that at that time, the director Sergio Leone had already passed away with hatred, and he didn't wait for the day of Zhao Xue.
Jennifer Connelly's first shot failed, and the box office and word-of-mouth of the subsequent films were not very good. Therefore, when Xiang Nan asked her to make "Honey, I Shrunk the Children", she had already reconsidered temporarily. Withdrew from showbiz and went back to school.
Ben Affleck was born in 1972 and participated in the first movie in 1979. After that, he began to participate in TV dramas and gradually accumulated acting experience.
This "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" is his first film starring.
Macaulay Culkin was born in 1980, started acting on stage at the age of four, and acted in the first movie at the age of five;
Jake Gyllenhaal was also born in 1980. He came from an acting family. His parents and sisters are both filmmakers, so Jack also made his debut early. Since he was a child, he has been playing various guest roles...
Xiang Nan knew that the four of them had great potential, so he chose them to play. And their performance is also remarkable,
Especially the eight-year-old Macaulay Culkin, whose performance is both vivid and spiritual. To be honest, he is better than Jennifer Connelly and Ben Affleck.
Although they often appear as four people, Macaulay can always attract everyone's attention through his performance. Even Jennifer, a pure girl, didn't take advantage of him, she was set off like a vase.
It also made Xiang Nan feel that stars are really born.
…
After "Honey, I Shrunk the Children" was released, the box office performed very well.
Mainly because of its fresher visuals. Lawns, lawn mowers, watering hoses, and even Oreos were originally commonplace things in the home.
But when they are magnified hundreds of times, it feels completely different. The lawn has become a jungle, ants have become monsters, and Oreos have become candy houses... It's really a wonderful adventure.
Coupled with the twists and turns of the plot and the tight rhythm, it is naturally more popular. In the end, the movie earned $130 million at the box office in North America, which can be said to be quite a blockbuster.
As a result, Jennifer Connelly, Ben Affleck, Macaulay Culkin and Jake Gyllenhaal all became popular and became Hollywood's rising stars.
…
And in July, "Ghostbusters 3" starring Xiang Nan, Sophie Marceau, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Denzel Washington and Robert Downey Jr. was officially released.
Because of the great success of the first two films, the box office of the third film was very hot when it was released. The box office hit tens of millions of dollars on the first day, making Hollywood colleagues envious.
Xiang Nan also had to suspend the filming of "Speed", and joined Sophie Marceau, Brad Pitt and others to participate in the film's promotional activities.
This is also a good thing for him.
Because the shooting location of "Speed and Death" is such a bus. It's really annoying to see the same group of people and the same scenery every day at the start of work.
It is also a good thing to come out now to run publicity and change the environment. Moreover, he and Sophie Marceau haven't seen each other for more than a month, and now they are together again, which is considered a farewell to a new marriage.
The two of them just took advantage of the opportunity of publicity to make a secret.
While they were promoting it hard, the box office of "Ghostbusters 3" was also rising steadily. In the end, the box office in North America was 260 million U.S. dollars, which brought a perfect end to this series of movies.
The big hit of this film also made newcomers Brad Pitt, Robert Downey Jr., Denzel Washington, George Clooney and others become rising Hollywood stars.
…
The relationship between Xiang Nan and Courtney also came naturally, achieving a breakthrough.
For Kourtney, who is still unknown, Xiang Nan is like a god.
One blow can make her red to purple, and one blow can make her die quickly.
Just like Sharon Stone, he could have starred in "Cosmic Veyron". But Xiang Nan only made a phone call, which made her lose the chance to participate in a 60 million blockbuster movie.
This is the power of top Hollywood producers, so powerful, so domineering, so fascinating.
In addition, Xiang Nan is not only powerful, but also talented. The wonderful script of "Speed" was written word by word by him, not to mention that he also won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
Not everyone has such a talent.
Not to mention that Xiang Nan is young, handsome, and very friendly.
When she first met him, she had already started to like him. In the next few months, as she got along more and more, her fascination with him increased day by day.
Starting work every day is what she hopes most, and finishing work every day is her most frustrating thing.
So when the film was finished and Xiang Nan asked her to drink coffee, he agreed without hesitation, and even couldn't help crying with joy.
…
In August, Xiang Nan went back to Xiangjiang.
Cong Shan did not go back with him, because she was going to participate in the Venice Film Festival to cheer for "Raise the Red Lantern".
After Xiang Nan returned to Xiangjiang, he first found Shanshan.
Having not seen each other for half a year, Shanshan's appearance has changed a lot.
Spiritual girl's outfit has been changed. Thick eye shadow, thick bangs, and false eyelashes are all gone. The simple and elegant dress looks pure and pleasant.
This made Xiang Nan a little unexpected. She didn't expect that she would have such a big change after half a year. It's really three days away from Shishi, so we should look at each other with admiration.
"Brother, you came back from the United States, did you come to see me?" Shanshan immediately smiled when she saw him.
"Don't speak Mandarin, speak Cantonese." Xiang Nan reminded, "It's hard to learn, don't be led astray by me."
"Yes." Shanshan nodded, "Boss, I miss you so much."
"Thank you, I miss you too." Xiang Nan nodded, "How to raise it, is Xiangjiang still used to life?"
"Adaptation, people of my kind are like weeds, they can take root everywhere." Shanshan said with a smile, "Besides, you are covering me with a big brother, and I eat, drink and play here. How much better."
"Then how about your studies?" Xiang Nan asked again.
"Okay, the teachers praised me for being a quick learner and smart." Shanshan said proudly.
"That's good, work hard in the future. After you finish your studies, I will definitely make you a star." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Yes." Shanshan nodded, then looked at Xiang Nandao, "Boss, how can I repay you?"
Xiang Nan was keenly aware of the deep affection in her eyes, and knew that her feelings for him were absolutely extraordinary.
But he doesn't want to have **** with her yet, but he can't refuse directly, so as not to hurt her heart and cause more trouble, so he smiled and patted her head, "Don't worry, there will be a chance in the future. "
After hearing this, Shanshan nodded.
