Chapter 1909 1911 [Lethal Weapon 3]
The movie released in February is the fantasy romance "Four Hundred Years of Surprise" directed by the great director Francis Coppola.
In the 1970s, Francis Coppola became the hottest director in Hollywood with his hit "The Godfather".
When she was most popular, in Hollywood, it could be said that she kept her word. George Lucas's filming of "Star Wars" was funded only by Coppola's referral.
However, flowers do not have hundred-day red flowers. Entering the 1980s, Coppola also made several unpopular works, which were unsatisfactory at the box office and word of mouth, which led to a decline in popularity.
Even though "The Godfather 3" was released in 1990 and restored part of the decline, it can be seen with the naked eye that he has already begun to pass away. In fact, "Four Hundred Years of Surprise" was the last blockbuster movie he directed. After that, he basically didn't make any more masterpieces.
However, this will not affect his status in the circle.
After "Four Hundred Years of Surprise" was released, it caused a huge sensation.
On the one hand, the story of Dracula, the vampire, is very popular in the European and American world, and very few people have never heard of it. For a long time, he has also shown people in a negative image, evil, depraved, cruel, and ruthless.
But in "Four Hundred Years of Panic", the image of Count Dracula has been reversed 180 degrees. Not only is he not the embodiment of evil and depravity, but he was once a faithful believer of God, fighting for Him, destroying heretics for Him, and spreading His glory.
But he didn't expect that he would be betrayed by God, and the most beloved woman could not get His protection, so he threw himself into the arms of the devil and cursed himself to live by blood. Moreover, after four hundred years, his love for his wife remains unchanged and remains the same.
This brand-new setting is both fresh and in line with the audience's aesthetics, which naturally makes their eyes shine.
On the one hand, Francis Coppola is a great director after all. Under his direction, "Four Hundred Years of Surprise" not only has a relaxed rhythm, but also combines fiction and reality in the screen. Under his adjustment, the actors' acting skills have also been brought to the extreme. It makes this movie full of appeal.
Therefore, this movie has gained a good reputation and box office. In the end, it won a box office of 82 million U.S. dollars in North America alone, and a box office of 210 million U.S. dollars worldwide. It is considered a movie. Very successful movie.
The film also allowed Gary Oldman, who played Dracula, to officially gain a foothold in Hollywood. Prior to this, although he had become famous in the UK, he was still a nobody in Hollywood.
…
In March, the Academy Awards opened.
"Basic Instinct", "The Silence of the Lambs", "Thelma & Louise" and "Killing Kennedy" are all favorites to win awards.
Especially "The Silence of the Lambs" was shortlisted for eight awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay and many other heavyweight awards.
This year's red carpet, Xiang Nan walked with Halle Berry.
Halle Berry has developed well in the past two years, and has become the spokesperson of African-American actresses in Hollywood. Whenever an African-American actress is needed in a movie, she will basically be given priority. African-American movie stars will also give priority to finding her partner when they are filming.
For example, African-American superstar Eddie Murphy starred in "Stealing Heart", she was invited to be the heroine; "Jungle Fever" directed by well-known Hollywood African-American director Spike Lee also invited her to be the heroine; "Boys on the Block" starring African Americans also asked her to be the heroine...
She has also become the favorite actress of African-American audiences, and because of their support, her road in Hollywood has become smoother and smoother.
Of course, this is also inseparable from her own efforts. She takes every role seriously and contributes good acting skills.
In addition, she usually works hard to maintain her figure, dieting and exercising for a long time, so after so many years, her figure is still hot and attractive. Unlike other African-American women, their bodies are easy to get fat and deformed. They already have elephant legs and bucket waists in their twenties.
Because there are tens of millions of African-Americans, and there are not a few of them working hard in Hollywood. Sooner or later, there will be younger, more beautiful, and better women than themselves. At that time, I will definitely share my support.
In comparison, only capital is eternal, and Xiang Nan has capital in his hands.
Although he is a bit of a flamboyant person and has a lot of women around him, he takes good care of everyone and arranges heroines one by one.
In Hollywood, a man like him is considered kind. Here, more men run away after flirting, which is completely irresponsible.
Therefore, she still hugged Xiang Nan's thick waist tightly.
…
"Charles, why did you walk the red carpet with Harry? Could it be that you have a new work to collaborate with?" the host asked with a smile.
"That's right, I'm planning to shoot "Lethal Weapon 3" this year." Xiang Nan nodded.
""Lethal Weapon 3"?! It's really good, we can't wait." The host was pleasantly surprised when he heard it.
"Yeah, I've wanted to do it for a long time." Xiang Nan smiled, "I assure everyone, the plot of this movie will be more thrilling and exciting, and Harry and I will also have a romantic relationship."
"Then it's even more worth looking forward to." The host said with a smile, "I wish your movie a success."
"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
Subsequently, the awards ceremony started on time.
The first few awards were not for Xiang Nan, so he didn't pay attention, and kept whispering to Halle Berry and Brooke Shields.
Xiang Nan didn't raise his head until the Best Adapted Screenplay Award and Best Original Screenplay Award were presented.
The presenters were Joe Pesci and Whoopi Goldberg.
They presented the award for Best Adapted Screenplay first, shortlisted for "The Silence of the Lambs," "Killing Kennedy," "European Europe," "On the Waves," and "Fried Green Tomatoes."
"The winner is... "The Silence of the Lambs", Charles. Congratulations, buddy, I thought you could do it early on." Joe Pesci then announced loudly.
He and Xiang Nan have collaborated many times, such as "Goodfellas", "Home Alone 1, 2", "Lethal Weapon 2", etc., and the relationship between them is very good.
Xiang Nan stepped onto the stage with a smile, hugged Whoopi Goldberg and Joe Pesci, then took the trophy and said with a smile, "Thank you judges for your appreciation, and thank you fans for your support.
Special thanks to the director Jonathan Demme, starring Anthony Hopkins, Nicole Kidman, Tiger Lavin and many other crew members. It is your hard work that makes my script perfectly presented on the screen superior.
Thank you very much, and look forward to working with you again! "
Hearing what he said, everyone applauded happily.
