Chapter 1984 1986 [Scarlett Johansson]
In February, the movie released is the movie "Secretary Belle" starring Charlize Theron.
Charlize Theron was born in 1975, started as a model, and then engaged in acting career. However, her acting career was not smooth, and she could only play some small roles at the beginning. It was not until the 2000-year-old "Diver of the Raging Sea" that she emerged.
This "Secret Agent Belle" is also a comedy film, telling the story of a female detective who is forced to change her image of a tomboy and enter the beauty pageant after learning that a criminal is going to detonate a bomb in the Miss America pageant The story of an active undercover agent.
In this movie, the heroine completes the transformation from a tomboy to a beautiful beauty. Charlize Theron was born a model, and she doesn't mind being ugly and rude.
She shaved off her eyebrows, put on false teeth, painted age spots, and even gained thirty pounds in "The Devil's Head" to play the serial female killer.
So she completed this role very well, not worse than the original Sandra Bullock. Her natural and unaffected performance has also won unanimous praise from the industry.
In addition, this is a female-led movie, and the heroine played by Charlize Theron is worthy of the name and is not a vassal of any male protagonist. And its theme is also to advocate women's self-reliance and self-improvement.
All beauty pageants in history have been treated with different eyes. It seems that the beauties of the pageant are all beautiful, empty-headed Barbie dolls.
But this "Secret Agent Belle" completely subverts this concept. The beauties are not empty-headed vases who only know how to play with their heads and compete for the wind and jealousy. They will also be sad, sad, and support each other. They are also real people. It's the organizers who are the real villains, making rules to consume women.
Therefore, after the film was released, it was very popular with female audiences. In the end, the North American box office earned 80 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office reached 150 million U.S. dollars.
For a movie that focuses on women, this movie can be said to be quite successful.

At the end of February, after Xiang Nan returned to Hollywood, he was preparing for the filming plan for the new year.
The new year's projects include "Men in Black 2", "Stealing the Sky", "Wolverine", "Daredevil 2", "Signs", "Fast and Furious", "Tomb Raider", "007" Die Another Day, Fake Angels, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
"Men in Black 2" and "Daredevil 2" both use the original cast, only the heroine and villain have been replaced. "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun" is a grand-theft-themed movie, a remake of the original work of the same name in the 1960s; "Wolverine" is an extra chapter of "X-Men", telling the origin of the hero Wolverine.
On the one hand, let the audience know more about this character, on the other hand, in order to expand the universe of "X-Men", it also introduces the villain Saber-toothed Tiger, General Stryker, and many superheroes such as Deadpool, Ghost, Meatball, Agent Zero, and Gambit.
"Signs of the Sky" is a suspenseful science fiction film, telling the story of a crop circle suddenly appearing on a farm. Whether it was a prank, an alien imprint, or a supernatural event... There are different opinions. The protagonist searches for the truth behind the scenes, but the final result is surprising.
"Tomb Raider" is a movie adapted from a game. Its protagonist, Laura Crawford, was once the number one beauty in the game industry and was deeply loved by players.
And she is not only beautiful, but more importantly, she is agile, knowledgeable, bold, careful, and intelligent. With her own power, she has taken risks all over the world and explored many unsolved mysteries.
This movie is Angelina Jolie's masterpiece, and it is precisely because of this movie that she became a popular actress in Hollywood in one fell swoop, among the 20 million club.
But Xiang Nan is not going to use her anymore.
Compared with famous artists, he is more willing to use lesser-known newcomers, which saves money and is easier to manipulate.
After comprehensive consideration, he plans to use Scarlett Johansson.
Scarlett was born in 1984 and made her debut in 1994. Because of her sweet appearance, she is very popular in the circle.
Like McKenna Grace, beautiful and cute, so every time Hollywood uses a girl star, she will be the first to think of her.
Although Scarlett is young, her acting skills are very good. She has been nominated for Best Actress for the Independent Spirit Award, Best Supporting Actress for the Box Office Bomb Award, and many stars of hope. In the future, he will also win the Venice Film Festival Best Actress with "Lost in Translation".
In addition, although she debuted as a child star, her appearance has not changed since she grew up, and she is still beautiful and moving. This also allowed her to transition smoothly from a child star to an adult movie star.
Unlike some child stars, when they grow up, their appearance is completely different from that of when they were young, so they were very popular when they were young, but they became obsolete when they grew up.
With such conditions, it is very suitable to play Lara Croft from left to right. Beautiful and sassy, with a low salary, it is much more suitable than Angelina Jolie.
…
The "Fast and Furious" series of movies was a criminal action movie in the early days, telling the story of detectives chasing a car robbery, having a misunderstanding with Boss Tang, and finally punishing criminals together.
From the sixth film onwards, this series of movies began to become magical. The protagonist drives the car to fly into the sky and escape from the ground, and even Newton's coffin board can't hold it down.
Xiang Nan is going to act in this movie himself, and he will play Boss Tang.
On the one hand, with the popularization of special effects technology, the market for fist and kick kung fu movies will become narrower and narrower in the future. In the next two decades, almost no pure action movie will be able to enter the top ten of Hollywood's annual box office rankings.
Xiang Nan needs a movie to keep his enthusiasm, and the series of "Fast and Furious" is just right.
On the one hand, it is rumored that Vin Diesel is not easy to get along with, and he dominates the crew, causing everyone in the crew to hate him. So instead of using him, Xiang Nan might as well go into battle himself. While saving production costs, it can also increase box office appeal.
…
"007: Die Another Day" is a sequel to the 007 series.
This is Xiang Nan's first 007 movie shooting after the acquisition of MGM.
The actor of 007 is still Pierce Brosnan. Xiang Nan thinks he is the most handsome 007 he has ever seen. Always suave, handsome, wise and courageous, yet humorous.
Xiang Nan didn't want to change the choice of Bond girl, Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike were just right. But fine-tune the story, after all, Xiang Nan doesn't want to offend anyone.
When this movie was released, it caused quite a stir, and Xiang Nan didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
