Chapter 1893 1895 [Return to Xiangjiang]
In October, "Ten Days of Dangerous Love" starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Robin Williams was officially launched.
This is a thriller movie based on Stephen King's original novel of the same name. It tells the story of a well-known writer who has a car accident and is taken home by enthusiastic book fans.
As a result, the book fans found that their favorite character was actually written to death by the writer, so it was blackened, and began to torture the writer, asking him to modify the ending of the novel...
Stephen King is a well-known horror novelist in the United States. His style focuses on creating a horror atmosphere and bringing fear to readers' souls, so he is known as a master of horror.
His representative works include "The Shawshank Redemption", "Carrie", "The Green Mile", "The Dark Tower", "Pet Sematary", "The Shining" and so on.
However, because his novels pay too much attention to atmosphere creation, although they are deeply loved by readers, it is difficult to perfectly present them on the screen. Therefore, the box office of movies adapted from his novels is often not high.
It's like Gu Long's novels, although they are deeply loved by martial arts fans, they are enough to keep pace with Jin Yong. But because his novels emphasize artistic conception, it is difficult to be adapted into film and television dramas, so the impact is much smaller.
However, "Ten Days of Dangerous Love" broke this routine. In North America alone, it won a box office of more than 80 million US dollars.
On the one hand, it is due to the high box office appeal of Michelle Pfeiffer and Robin Williams; There are many wonderful stories, and successfully created the terrifying image of Annie, a crazy book fan.
In addition, Michelle Pfeiffer played the villain for the first time. The blackened heroine is evil, glamorous and sexual, which is very breakthrough for the audience, so it is very popular.
…
In the same month, Xiang Nan finished filming "Speed 2", and then took time to go back to Xiangjiang.
After returning to Xiangjiang, he went to see Shanshan first.
"How is it, how have you been in the past year?" He asked with a smile.
Shanshan smiled and said, "It's pretty good. Director Wang arranged for me to shoot three movies, one "Hua Xin Co., Ltd.", one "The Master of Catcher", and one "The Supreme Talent". Got some fame."
Xiang Nan smiled, "That's good, don't worry, take your time. You are a newcomer, and acting is already good. Don't be too eager for quick success, otherwise you won't get far."
Shanshan nodded, "I know, I'm actually very satisfied. Filming here is much better than being in a bar."
"Don't compare like that, you still have to pursue a little bit." Xiang Nan laughed, "If you have anything to do, you can go to Director Wang. I told him to let him take care of you."
"Yes." Shanshan said emotionally, "Brother, you have treated me so well, how can I repay you?"
"Don't always say this, you don't repay anything." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "You can live your own life well, which is the best repayment for me."
"Brother, you are really a good person." Shanshan was even more moved when she heard what he said.
Xiang Nan smiled, then handed her a box, "I brought you a gift from America, see if you like it."
Shanshan took it and opened it, but it was a crystal hourglass.
"The time of each of us is limited. Before you know it, the time will slowly pass by, and you will never get it back." Xiang Nan explained, "I give you this hourglass, and I hope you You can cherish the time and live this life to the fullest.”
"Yes." Hearing what he said, Shanshan nodded heavily, "Brother, I will listen to you, cherish the time and work hard."
…
Afterwards, Xiang Nan went to see Wang Jing again.
He first looked at the company's financial report.
In the past year, the performance of Real Kung Fu Pictures is still good.
Movies released such as "God of Gamblers", "Gambler", "Ghost Co., Ltd.", "The Supreme Master", "The Master of Catcher", "Modern Tathagata Palm", "Dragon in Prison" and other box office are still in the box office. good.
In particular, "Liao Zhai Yan Tan" starring Ye Zimei, the box office sold more than 14 million Hong Kong dollars, which also made Ye Zimei a hit, becoming the leading **** star in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, more popular than Chen Yalun and Zhong Chuhong Even stronger.
Especially her figure is so hot that the milk tea shops are trying to catch her popularity and named the milk tea after her nickname, and it became a huge hit. It was rumored for a while.
"Yes, Director Wang, you have done a good job." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "I am very satisfied."
Although the income of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars is nothing to him, it is still a good thing that the company can make money.
"Thank you, Mr. Ning, you are open and open, and I must also be loyal." Wang Jing also smiled.
After Xiang Nan handed over the company to him, he basically never intervened, and he took care of everything. Such trust also moved Wang Jing very much.
Although he likes to bewitch when filming, he looks a bit cheap, but he is actually very upright and righteous. When Xiangjiang Films declined, only Wang Jing was still working, which supported a large number of filmmakers. This is all his meritorious deeds.
Even Xu Anhua, who has always been unhappy with him, received his funding to film two films, "Night and Fog in Tianshuiwei" and "Day and Night in Tianshuiwei".
These two are literary films, and they are destined not to be blockbusters. Therefore, Xu Anhua has been sponsoring for a long time, but failed to find an investor. In the end, it was Wang Jing who paid for her, and if Xu Anhua hadn't said it, the outside world would not have known that this director, who was often called "shit, shit, fart" by them, actually had a heart for literature and art.
"Okay." Xiang Nan smiled, and gave the remaining five million dollars to Wang Jing, "Director Wang, Shanshan's matter, I will thank you for taking care of it in the future."
"Mr. Ning, you should take this money back. Ms. He has learned a lot now, and she lives a very self-disciplined and healthy life. I haven't taken care of her much. I hold this money, it's really hot." Wang Jing refused road.
Before, when Shanshan first came to Xiangjiang, she was really sick. Arriving late for class and leaving early, studying is idle, and likes to drink and go clubbing, etc...
However, in the past two years, she has reformed herself. She takes good care of herself, works hard and is serious. Wang Jing didn't take care of her much.
Therefore, Wang Jing felt hot when he took Xiang Nan's money again.
"Here, just accept it." Xiang Nan smiled and said.
Five million dollars may seem like a lot, but to him, it's just a drop in the bucket. For such a small amount of money, he can keep Shanshan in check. For him, it is definitely worth it.
After all, making money is really not difficult for him.
Wang Jing had no choice but to nod, "Mr. Ning, don't worry, I will definitely show Miss He to you."
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.
