Chapter 1888
After hearing Xiang Nan's explanation, Ye Zimei immediately lost most of her anger, but she still returned the check to him, "But I don't want to take your money, which makes me feel like I'm here to sell. I want to use the money, and I I will work hard to earn it.”
"Sure enough, I'm not mistaken, you are really different from other women." Xiang Nan nodded, "Well, how about I make you a star?"
"Of course." Ye Zimei nodded immediately.
Xiang Nansu is a bit of a golden master, known as a wise eye Bole, like Jackie Chan, Wang Jing, Lin Zhengying, Zhong Chuhong, etc., are all supported by him.
If he can support himself, then he will become a first-line red star, just around the corner.
At that time, not only the film salary will be close to one million Hong Kong dollars, but also various commercial performances will also make a lot of money. In a few years, she can earn tens of millions of dollars.
"However, let's make it clear that it's not so easy to praise people. Little red depends on praise, big red depends on life, and strong praise is wiped out. So whether you can be popular or not depends on God's will." Stop complaining.
Ye Zimei nodded, "Don't worry, I know. In this business, three points are ability, six points are luck, and one point is the support of noble people. If I don't have that life, I won't blame anyone."
"That's good." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
After returning to the company, Xiang Nan helped Ye Zimei speak up.
"Do you want to praise her?" Wang Jing was taken aback for a moment, then giggled, "Mr. Ning, you and her...hehe...you are really blessed."
Ye Zimei has a good figure, and all the men in Xiangjiang know it. But Ye Zimei's appearance is sloppy, but her heart is very traditional, so so many men want to take advantage of her, but in the end it is in vain, and I don't want to be robbed by Xiang Nan in the end.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "In my opinion, Ye Zimei is suitable for taking the sexual route, but she can't be too sexual, she can only play around the edges, do you understand?"
"I understand." Wang Jing nodded, "Just like Shaw's Hu Jin, only the face and voice are shown, and the rest are all used as substitutes."
Hu Jin is the favorite general of director Li Hanxiang, and helped him film a series of "Affair in the Phoenix", "Golden Vase", "Flirting with Flowers", "Sexy Dogs and Horses", "An Interesting History of Warlords", "Ghosts Cry Chung" and so on. Fengyue film.
However, although Hu Jin is handsome in appearance, he is also traditional in his bones, so Li Hanxiang only uses her expression and voice, and uses everything else as a stand-in.
As a result, although Hu Jin is famous, he is actually very clean.
Xiang Nan gave a thumbs up, admiring Wang Jing's comprehension.
Wang Jing also laughed.
…
Xiang Nan stayed in Xiangjiang for a week, and then returned to Hollywood.
At this time, "Edward Scissorhands" starring Johnny Depp and Sophie Marceau is in theaters.
The word-of-mouth and box office of this movie are good, and the combination of handsome men and beautiful women is indeed easier to move people's hearts.
In the end, this movie had a box office of 86 million US dollars in North America, and it was also hailed as a classic romance movie.
The media even declared that if this movie was released before "The Love of the People", it would definitely have a big impact on "The Love of the People". It can be seen how popular this movie is.
The explosion of "Edward Scissorhands" also made Sophie Marceau famous in Hollywood. Both acting skills and box office appeal have been recognized by the industry.
Xiang Nan congratulated her, "Congratulations, Sophie, you have acted so well, next year's Oscar may have your place."
"Edward Scissorhands" has achieved both word-of-mouth and box office success, which also made her very happy. Although she doesn't care about the box office, she also knows that the higher the box office, the better, which means that more audiences love her performance.
And for an actor, this is undoubtedly something to be proud of.
Drawing water does not forget the well digger, which made her very grateful to Xiang Nan.
…
For the next period of time, Xiang Nan did not prepare any new films, and spent most of his time at home, waiting with Cong Shan to give birth.
His medical skills are excellent, no less than professional doctors, with him by his side, the safety of the fetus can be guaranteed.
And his cooking skills are also good, and the dishes he makes are no worse than professional chefs.
Cong Shan has more serious nausea. She often vomits whatever she eats. She almost has a psychological shadow when she vomits, and she feels nauseous when she hears eating.
So Xiang Nan had no choice but to cook food for her differently. Three meals, snacks, and snacks were not the same every day, and they were delicious, which made Cong Shan willing to taste a couple of bites.
Under his meticulous care, Cong Shan's mother and child are naturally healthy.
The wholehearted company for so many days also made Cong Shan's love for Xiang Nan deeper.
…
Meanwhile, in August, "Crocodile Dundee 3" was released.
The box office of the first two films of this movie was 300 million and 200 million U.S. dollars respectively, and it was a global hit. But the third part is already at the end of its strength and is no longer as strong as before.
The North American box office is only over 60 million US dollars, and the global box office is just over 100 million US dollars. It's still a hit, but it's not too amazing.
This is not surprising. Even for classics such as "Back to the Future", the box office of the third part is incomparable with the box office of the first part.
In September, "The White-headed Detective 2" will be released next. This movie is still following the line of laughing at the dead, carrying the spoof to the end, so the box office is quite good.
The box office in North America is as high as 86 million U.S. dollars. For a comedy film with a cost of less than 20 million, such a box office can be said to be quite good.
Leslie Nielsen's solidified status as an A-list comedy star is unique among Hollywood's old guard. It's really not easy for others to grab his seat.
…
At the end of September, a sensational event happened in Hollywood.
That is Sony announced the acquisition of Columbia Pictures for 3.4 billion US dollars, and will also assume its 1.6 billion US dollars in debt.
As soon as the news came out, the whole bank was shocked.
On the one hand, it is because of the sky-high price Sony offered. You must know that in 1984, when Murdoch acquired Fox Films, which is also one of the six major Hollywood giants, it only spent 500 million U.S. dollars.
After five years, Sony's price for Columbia Pictures has reached five billion U.S. dollars. I have to let people say, I am taken advantage of.
On the one hand, it is because of Sony's identity. Although Murdoch acquired Fox, Murdoch is white, and more importantly, Murdoch has become an American citizen, so Fox Films is still an American company.
But Sony is a Japanese company, so when Columbia Pictures was acquired by it, it became controlled by Japanese capital and no longer belonged to the United States.
What's more serious is that from the 1970s to the 1980s, Japan's economy has been soaring, and the automobiles, home appliances, and electronic products it produces are sold all over the world, and even wantonly occupy the American market.
So Americans have been worried that their country will be captured by the Japanese sooner or later. Therefore, facing Sony's acquisition of Colombia, the Americans were very frightened and angry.
