Chapter 1897 1899 [Mission Impossible]
Subsequently, filming of many films began one after another.
Shang Nan's "Mission Impossible", the main actor is Jon Voight, who is also the father of the beautiful Angelina Jolie. However, the relationship between father and daughter is not very good.
Because Jon Voight divorced his wife when Julie was just one year old, and gave up custody of his daughter. There is not much contact between father and daughter, and there is not much difference between familiar strangers.
There are also black movie star Ving Rhames and French movie star Jean Reno. In the movie "Nikita", he played a cold and reckless killer, which is very brilliant.
And his most classic role is "This Killer Is Not So Cold" co-starred with Natalie Portman.
As for the heroine, it is Jennifer Connelly. She's about to star in Sleepless in Seattle, a movie that will make her another Hollywood box office superstar.
And Xiang Nan needs this heroine, who looks pure and innocent on the surface, but is actually a sinister and cunning femme fatale who betrays her colleagues. Jennifer's pure and beautiful image is suitable for this role.
In addition, as for the supporting actress, Xiang Nan chose the British beauty Catherine Zeta-Jones, who was born as a stage actress. Last year's debut film "The Magic Lamp" did not do well at the box office, but it still attracted the attention of the film industry to this **** and glamorous beauty.
…
While the film was being prepared, in February, "Sleepless in Seattle" starring Tom Hanks and Jennifer Connelly was officially released.
Tom Hanks is now Hollywood's top box office superstar, starring in "Mermaid", "Future Leap", "The Love Is Over", "Pretty Woman", "When Harry Met Sally" and so on , are all well-received and well-received movies, so they are deeply loved by movie fans.
Although Jennifer Connelly's performance at the movie box office was poor, her appearance was highly recognized by the audience. Her current state is a bit like Liu Yifei back then. She has good looks and acting skills, but she hasn't encountered a suitable work for her.
After the movie was released, it was well received by the audience.
On the one hand, its story is really warm and romantic. Two lonely souls meet through airwaves, and finally come together after going round and round. It is both romantic and legendary, and it is really innovative.
On the one hand, Tom Hanks' meticulous acting skills and Jennifer Connelly's pure and lovely appearance also make people willing to believe that this fairy tale is true.
Although in real life, this kind of thing is extremely unlikely to happen. But that's what makes audiences hope to dream in movies.
"Sleepless in Seattle" finally achieved very good box office results, with a North American box office of 120 million US dollars and a global box office of 220 million US dollars.
This movie, as expected by Xiang Nan, made Jennifer Connelly get rid of the shackles of a child star and became popular.
Usually actors who were born as child stars will face the problem of transformation.
Because when a child star grows up, his appearance and temperament will change, and he will lose his childhood charm. If you can't transform in time, you will lose the love of the audience.
Like Hao Shaowen, Jin Ming, Macaulay Culkin, Xiao Binbin, etc., they are either cute or naughty, and they are all very popular.
But after growing up, the appearance is no longer outstanding, and it is no longer suitable for being cute and naughty, so it is difficult to be popular again.
Fortunately, Jennifer Connelly has been so beautiful since she was a child, and her temperament is so pure. So her transition is easier.
…
In March, the Academy Awards were officially held.
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women really attracted a lot of attention.
"Jennifer, look here, look here~"
"Charles, look here, look here~"
The reporters kept cheering at them, which even flattered Jennifer Connelly.
Before this, she didn't have such high courtesy on the red carpet.
The reason is also very simple, Hollywood has never lacked beauties. Even though Jennifer Connelly is already the head of the girl, in the eyes of reporters, she is still not as attractive as Barbra Streisand, Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon and other superstars.
Now that she has become a popular fried chicken in Hollywood with "Sleepless in Seattle", she has truly won the respect of the industry. Otherwise, there is not much difference between people looking at her and looking at a vase.
"Charles, thank you." Jennifer secretly thanked.
Without Xiang Nan arranging her to appear in "Sleepless in Seattle", she would never be as popular as she is now.
"You're welcome. You are mine, and mine is yours." Xiang Nan laughed.
Hearing what he said, Jennifer smiled even more happily.
…
At the subsequent awards ceremony, several dramas such as "Dances with Wolves", "Born on the Fourth of July", "Pretty Woman", "Speaking to the Heavens", and "Ten Days of Dangerous Love" almost won these awards. It was rounded up, and they took turns to accept the awards on stage.
The big winner is "Dances with Wolves", which has successively won multiple awards such as best film, best director, best adapted screenplay, best original soundtrack, best photography, and best film editing.
Michelle Pfeiffer won an Oscar statuette for herself by virtue of her subversive performance in "Ten Days of Dangerous Love", and won the crown of actress.
Such a result can be said to be quite good. And Xiang Nan, who invested in these movies, naturally became the biggest winner tonight.
Especially the most valuable Best Picture Award, it was even more heavy. This is also his second best picture award.
At the party after the awards ceremony, everyone came to congratulate Xiang Nan.
"Charles, congratulations~", "Charles, congratulations~", "Charles, I really envy you~"
Everyone complimented.
At this time, a woman smiled and said, "Charles, I heard that you are preparing a play recently, called "The Bodyguard", which tells the love story of a female singer and her bodyguard. I think I can do it, And it can be regarded as a real performance, what do you think?"
Xiang Nan looked at her in surprise, but saw that she was Madonna Ciccone, the most popular singer in the American music scene. She debuted in 1982, and her first album sold 2.8 million copies in 1983.
Launched in 1984, "Like a Virgin" sold more than 2 million copies in a month, and more than 80,000 copies in a single day, creating a new record in the music industry.
In the next few years, her records were very popular, and her popularity was also rising steadily. She has become a pop queen and a symbol of culture.
However, she is not satisfied with just making movies, and has always wanted to develop in Hollywood. She has also made a few movies in the past few years, but the box office and reputation are not good.
