Chapter 2053 2055【Bullying】
"Kung Fu Dream 2" is the sequel to "Kung Fu Dream", which tells the story of the male protagonist Parker who learned martial arts, but got into trouble because of his blind use of martial arts. Finally, under the guidance of his master Han, he understood how to use power.
"Gravity" is a sci-fi film, telling the story of three astronauts taking a space shuttle to the universe to repair the Hubble Telescope, but they hit a defunct satellite and caused a serious accident. At the critical juncture, they struggled several times and finally returned to the earth.
"Fast and Furious 6" continues to tell the story of Boss Tang fighting with others, and this time the villain is the brother of the previous villain. It's really a routine to hit the young ones and come to the old ones.
Now that "Fast and Furious 6" has been filmed, Xiang Nan feels that it is more and more similar to the "Mission: Impossible" series. It's all about a group of people teaming up to solve a world-threatening trouble.
"The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire" continues to tell the story that after the Hunger Games, in order to quell the rising public anger, the president decides to hold an extreme competition every 25 years, so the hero and heroine are forced to participate in the game again.
Although "The Hunger Games" has not yet been released, Xiang Nan is confident in its box office, so he arranged to shoot "The Hunger Games 2" in advance.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" is adapted from real people and real events. In the 1980s, Jordan Belfort, a legendary Wall Street figure, made hundreds of millions of dollars through securities fraud, and lived a life of feasting and debauchery. In the end, however, his crimes were discovered and he was jailed.
This movie exposes the greed and ruthlessness of Wall Street, and it is undoubtedly a warning to those who have experienced the subprime mortgage crisis.
…
In January, Xiang Nan and Cong Shan went home as usual.
At the same time, Universal Pictures also released "Thor", telling how Thor, the **** of thunder, became a man from a god, and how he became a **** from a man. Starring Chris Hemsworth and Ashley Granny.
The Marvel Universe movie series has already become a gold-lettered signboard. Even though the story of "Thor" is a bit clichéd, using the routine of "The Prodigal Son Turns Back for Money", it still achieved good box office results.
The film with an investment of 150 million U.S. dollars in the end has a global box office of 450 million U.S. dollars. Although it is not a big hit, it is also a good result. At the very least, Universal will not lose money.
In February, Xiang Nan went to Xiangjiang to meet old friends and check the company's accounts.
Then he made an appointment with Liu Min. Liu Wen is the chief supermodel in the Mainland. In 2008, she walked for well-known brands such as Chanel, Versace, Hermes, and Dior. In 2009, she officially appeared on the Victoria's Secret stage and was the first Chinese model in the Victoria's Secret show.
"Hi, Ms. Liu, I have seen your commercials. They are not bad. They are very beautiful." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Thank you, Mr. Ning, for your compliment. I haven't done well enough." Liu Wen said modestly.
"Humility is a virtue." Xiang Nan nodded, "But I think you have done well enough, and your ability has been brought to the extreme. If you want to improve, it is no longer enough to rely on yourself."
Chinese models have reached their peak in Paris Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week, and Victoria's Secret. If you want to become the world's top supermodel, relying on personal strength is no longer enough, unless you have the support of noble people.
For example, Claudia Schiffer became one of the top five supermodels in the world thanks to Chanel's support; Gisele Bundchen became a top supermodel because of her scandal with Xiao Li...
"Mr. Ning means..." Liu Wen asked suspiciously.
"I want to arrange you to play in a play." Xiang Nan smiled, "You may have heard that "X-Men" has been restarted. There is a character in it that I think will suit you, and that is Angel Salvador."
"Really?! Thank you, Mr. Ning." Liu Wei was very happy when she heard that.
Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Alessandra Ambrosio, Charlize Theron and even MaggieQ are all top stars because of his cooperation.
"You're welcome, do your best and don't disappoint me." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
…
Xiang Nan then returned to Hollywood.
At this time, Universal Pictures is releasing "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 2, which is also the finale of the "Twilight Saga" series of films, and it is a memorable moment for all movie fans.
Because of this, the box office soared after it was released. Three days after its release, it has already received 140 million US dollars. In the end, the global box office was 820 million US dollars, drawing a perfect ending for the series.
It's a pity that the author originally wanted to write "The Twilight Saga: Midnight Sun", but because the first draft was leaked to the Internet, she stopped writing it in a fit of anger.
Otherwise, it is probably possible to make a few more "Twilight Saga".
…
In March, it's award season again.
There are no particularly popular movies in Universal Pictures this year, and there are not many shortlisted awards, so Xiang Nan has no hope at all. He just went to watch the show and meet old friends.
DreamWorks Pictures performed very well, and its "Lincoln" was shortlisted for twelve awards, including Best Actor, Best Director, Best Movie, and Best Supporting Actor and Actress. Best Adapted Screenplay and many other awards can be regarded as saving some face for Universal Pictures.
Sure enough, Universal Pictures won nothing this year, but Xiang Nan didn't care. Last year, Universal Pictures' total revenue exceeded 50 billion U.S. dollars, its net profit reached 8 billion U.S. dollars, and its market value exceeded 180 billion U.S. dollars. It is the giant with the highest market value in Hollywood.
Even if other companies win all the Oscar awards, it will be difficult for them to compete with Universal Pictures. That being the case, Xiang Nan naturally doesn't care about awards.
However, DreamWorks Pictures won the Best Art Director and Best Actor awards for "Lincoln", which is not in vain.
…
At the party after the awards ceremony, Xiang Nan talked and laughed happily with his old friends.
At this time, Julia Roberts came with Emma Roberts again, and said with a smile, "Mr. Charles, thank you for inviting Emma to appear in "Fake Family". I have read the script and it is really well written."
The original "Counterfeit Family" was played by Emma Roberts. That movie had a good box office reputation. Although the investment was only 37 million U.S. dollars, it won 270 million U.S. dollars in box office worldwide.
"You're welcome." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I heard from the director of "The Hunger Games" that Emma performed very well, so I gave her this chance. Keep working hard in the future, girl, sooner or later, you will be like Your aunt is so popular."
"Thank you, Mr. Charles." Emma Roberts said obediently.
Xiang Nan also smiled.
Returning something that belonged to the other party to the other party, the other party has to be grateful, which is really a bit of a bully.
But being a bully is better than being bullied.
