Chapter 2061 2063 [Karen Gillan]
After Xiang Nan returned to Hollywood, he asked Emma Roberts for coffee.
He has already pushed three resources to Emma, "The Hunger Games", "Fake Family" and "King Kong Vs Godzilla".
He is not Santa Claus, nor is he a boy scout who does good deeds every day. His efforts will be rewarded. Today is the time to charge some interest.
"Mr. Charles, you invited me here today, do you have any good news to tell me?" Emma Roberts asked with a smile when she saw Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan nodded with a smile, "I have good news for you. I'm preparing to shoot "Ant-Man" recently, and I need a heroine, so I thought of you."
"The heroine of "Ant-Man"?! That's great, thank you, Mr. Charles." Emma immediately said happily when she heard that.
Although she doesn’t usually like to read superhero comics, she has heard of Ant-Man’s name and knows that he is a member of the Avengers. He can be big or small, which is very unique.
And such a superhero, who can be big and small, must be interesting to adapt. Like the classic 90s movie, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, the most ordinary things are huge in Ant-Man's eyes.
This kind of visual effects is a good experience for the audience, and it must be interesting. At that time, it will definitely become popular after it is released. And as the heroine, she will naturally follow suit.
"Don't get too excited, you have a lot of competitors to face. Like Jennifer Lawrence, Emily VanCamp, Elizabeth Olsen, Karen Gillan, Amber Hill De also wants to take part in this role. I can't favor one another too much, do you understand?" Xiang Nan waved his hands.
Emma Roberts was a little anxious when she heard it.
Jennifer Lawrence, Karen Gillan, Amber Heard, etc., want to be famous, to have acting skills, to have good looks...
These people are by no means inferior to her in terms of strength, and it is reasonable for Xiang Nan to choose them.
"Mr. Charles, what do you want me to do?" Emma Roberts asked immediately.
"It's not what I want you to do, but what you want to do." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
Emma Roberts hesitated for a moment, "I want to discuss it with my aunt."
Xiang Nan nodded.
…
On the same day, Xiang Nan didn't hear back, and the next day, he made an appointment with Karen Gillan.
Karen Gillan was born in 1987, made her debut in 2006, and became famous for her role in "Doctor Who" in 2001, and is loved by drama fans.
Afterwards, she received film invitations one after another. She starred in "The Big Short" produced by Xiang Nan last year. But only in a small role.
The role of Nebula in "Guardians of the Galaxy" was the first influential role she played.
But honestly, that role was a bit of a waste of her talent. Because Xing Yun has a bald head that is half human, half mechanical, and has a blue complexion, it doesn't show Karen Gillan's beauty at all.
"Mr. Charles, it's an honor to meet you." Karen stepped forward and smiled.
"You're welcome, please sit down." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I invited you over today because I want to cooperate with you in a movie."
"Okay, please." Karen Gillan was interested.
The films produced by Xiang Nan are all box office and word-of-mouth win-win movies, just like the "Big Short" she starred in last time. Although the box office is not too high, the word-of-mouth is overwhelming. It is really not easy to be shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Picture .
"The name of this movie is "Jumanji: Battle in the Jungle". Have you seen "Jumanji"?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"Sorry, no." Karen Gillan shook her head in embarrassment. Although she is a film and television practitioner, she has not watched every movie.
"That movie is a classic. It starred Robin Williams and Emma Stone. It earned over 400 million dollars at the box office that year. It ranked eighth on the box office list of North American movies in 1998." Xiang Nan simply explained.
A movie in 1998 can earn 400 million US dollars at the box office, so that movie is really a blockbuster.
"This "Jumanji: Battle in the Jungle" is the reboot of that "Jumanji"." Xiang Nan smiled, and then told the outline of the story.
After its release in 17 years, "Jumanji: Battle in the Jungle" has achieved a box office record of 950 million U.S. dollars, which is a box office hit.
Karen Gillan nodded when she heard it, and felt that this story was really fresh and interesting.
A group of people traveled to the game to fight monsters, upgrade, and complete tasks. It was really interesting.
And she played the Iron Fist Girl is also very good. She is the only woman in the five-person team. She is sexual, beautiful, and good at fighting skills. She is not just an empty vase that only knows how to scream and needs to be saved by men.
Therefore, she was happy to take the role.
"Mr. Charles, thank you for your approval. I am willing to take this role, and I will definitely perform well." Karen Gillan said sincerely.
"Very good." Xiang Nan nodded, very satisfied with her attitude, "However, this role requires certain fighting skills, so in the next few months, you will have to work harder."
"Yes." Karen Gillan nodded.
…
At this moment, two men came up and said respectfully, "Mr. Charles, we are reporters from Google News. We passed by by chance and saw you with Miss Karen Gillan. Can we interview you? please!"
"Yes, please sit down." Xiang Nan nodded and ordered two cups of coffee for them.
"Mr. Charles, are you drinking coffee with Ms. Gillan because you are dating, or do you have something to discuss?" The reporter asked with a smile.
"Of course I have something to discuss, I'm already married." Xiang Nan laughed.
"What is that, is it related to the new film?" The reporter asked curiously again.
"That's right, it's a new movie." Xiang Nan nodded, "I want to invite Karen to play the heroine of my new movie."
"Really?! Wow, I really want to congratulate you, Miss Gillan." The reporter laughed.
"Then Mr. Charles, can you talk more about your new film?" The reporter asked again.
"I won't say too much, in short, it's a sci-fi action blockbuster with an investment of nearly 100 million U.S. dollars." Xiang Nan explained with a smile.
"Could it be another super-English movie?" The reporter asked tentatively.
Xiang Nan just smiled and didn't speak any more.
When the reporter saw this, he had no choice but to get up and leave.
Anyway, this news is already very good.
…
Ten minutes later, Google News posted the news that Xiang Nan invited Karen Gillan to star in his new film, and this news quickly became a hot search on Facebook, causing quite extensive discussions.
In the Internet age, information is so convenient.
Half an hour later, Xiang Nan received a call from Emma Roberts, "Mr. Charles, I'll be waiting for you at the Hilton Hotel."
"No rush. I'll call you." Xiang Nan smiled and hung up the phone.
He also has a temper, not a licking dog who comes and goes when he is called.
