After Xiang Nan entered the group, he immediately threw himself into intense shooting.
Although he joined the group a bit late, he quickly made friends with everyone in the crew by virtue of his strong affinity, and got along pretty well with everyone.
Therefore, when filming, everyone cooperates with each other, and the progress is naturally very fast.

In August, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" was released.
In this movie, Spider-Man dealt with Kraven the Hunter and Electro.
Hunter Kraven is cunning, proficient in shooting, traps and fighting, and because of the blessing of witch potions, his physical strength, speed, and spirit are no worse than Spider-Man.
Electric King's ability is even stronger, the electric power he released is astonishing, comparable to Thor in the Avengers.
Therefore, the opponent Spider-Man faces this time is quite terrifying, and it is also the strongest opponent he has faced since he became a superhero.
Such a sense of oppression also made the audience worry about the little spider all the time during the movie watching process.
However, evil does not prevail over good, and in the end, the little spider defeated all the villains by virtue of his ingenuity.
It is worth mentioning that he uses his own intelligence, not like in the original "Spider-Man", the Dutch brother only knows how to use the technological equipment presented by Iron Man, but his fighting awareness and ingenuity have not been displayed.
It was as if without those equipments, he became useless. That's not Spider-Man, Spider-Man is always on his own.
Because of the two villains, one is proficient in conspiracy and traps, the other is proficient in destruction and killing, so "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has to fight wits and fights, and fights and fights. Both literary and martial arts are excellent, which naturally makes the audience enjoy watching .
Therefore, in the end, the box office in North America was 400 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. The results are quite impressive.
…
In September, "Pacific Rim 3" was released, telling the story of human beings entering a different dimension, blowing up the monster's lair, and completely blocking the passage to the earth.
The script was originally written by Xiang Nan, because the original version of "Pacific Rim 2" had a bad reputation and failed badly at the box office. With an investment of 150 million US dollars, the global box office was only 180 million US dollars, and the loss exceeded 100 million US dollars.
Such a large loss also caused Legendary Pictures to directly cancel "Pacific Rim 3".
However, Xiang Nan re-corrected the shortcomings of "Pacific Rim 2" before, making its box office reach 760 million US dollars, which is very popular, so "Pacific Rim 3" was put on the agenda.
In the previous two parts, humans have been fighting monsters for more than ten years, from the initial resistance, defense, and offense to the current counterattack.
As the last part of the "Pacific Rim" series, humans and monsters will complete the final decisive battle. In order to make this film well, Universal Pictures also specially gave a production cost of 250 million US dollars, an increase of 100 million US dollars compared to the previous film.
Therefore, compared with the previous two works, it is more well-produced, with larger scenes, more monsters and more intense battles. It can be said that it has completely entered a new level.
Therefore, its box office is naturally considerable. In the end, the North American box office was 280 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 940 million U.S. dollars, drawing a successful conclusion to the series.
However, although the "Pacific Rim" series is temporarily over, there is still the possibility of a restart in the future.
Its blood, bones, muscles, and hair are all of great commercial value. And in the different-dimensional space, there are endless secrets and treasures.
Therefore, it is not ruled out that there are human careerists who re-dig the passage to another dimension. At that time, maybe monsters will make a comeback, and the drama of mechs vs. monsters will be staged again.

In September, Xiang Nan finished filming "Doctor Strange", and then he and Cong Shan returned to Xiangjiang.
At this time, Tranquility has also graduated with a doctorate in law. Instead of going into business, he joined a non-profit organization in Los Angeles as a public-interest lawyer. He hopes to use his legal knowledge to help the poor.
For his son's ideas, Xiang Nan only supports and encourages him. Anyway, there is no shortage of food and drink in tranquility, and life will be worry-free. In this case, it is better to do something you want to do.
After returning to Xiangjiang, Xiang Nan took a look at the repair work of the house and was very satisfied.
At most three years later, he will return to live in Xiangjiang. When the time comes, this will be his resting place, so it must be comfortable and comfortable enough.
"Husband, why do we have to go back to Xiangjiang, isn't it good to live in the United States?" Cong Shan asked suspiciously.
From the end of the 1980s, they have lived in the United States for 30 years, which is longer than they have lived in the mainland. They have long been accustomed to life in the United States, so why should they return to Xiangjiang?
You must know that Xiang Nan has lived in Xiangjiang for less than five years in total, so he would not have had too much affection in the first place.
"You must understand the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace. Don't look at our current prosperity, in fact, our situation is very embarrassing. In the United States, we are always regarded as outsiders, being guarded and discriminated against.
Although our strength is strong, our foundation is too shallow. If we stay there, we will be like a tree without roots. When the wind blows, we will be blown down.
In Xiangjiang, our foundation is strong enough, even with a strong wind of level 12, we can still stand still. "Xiang Nan explained.
The United States is said to be an immigrant country and a melting pot of multiple races, but in fact there are high barriers between various races, and the integration between ethnic groups is not very good.
For example, white people are rarely seen in black ghettos, and black people are rarely seen in white communities. The Hispanic community and the Chinese community are also very closed, and there is not much contact with other races.
Moreover, racial discrimination in the United States is relatively serious. Even if Xiang Nan is already a top Hollywood superstar, the chief rich man, with a net worth of more than 300 billion US dollars, any search on the Internet will find discriminatory comments and rumors.
Even Tranquility chose to become a public interest lawyer because he was often discriminated against when he was growing up. Even though he went to the best school in Los Angeles, his classmates were either rich or noble, and they should be very qualified, but he didn't escape this.
Fortunately, he practiced martial arts since he was a child, so no one dared to really bully him, but he could still feel the ridicule in words, contempt in attitude, and alienation in action. It is precisely because he has been unfairly treated since he was a child that he hopes to fight for the rights and interests of disadvantaged groups when he grows up.
In addition, with the future economic downturn, international conflicts and social conflicts will become more and more serious. Staying in the United States will become more and more dangerous.
In comparison, Xiangjiang is still the safest. After all, this place is a tiny place, so it can't cause too much trouble. What's more, with China in the north, there is a certain guarantee.
Moreover, Xiang Nan has been operating here for more than 30 years, which can be said to be deeply rooted, and it is definitely not comparable to the United States.
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Cong Shan had no choice but to nod.
She knew that Xiang Nan did everything with a purpose in mind, and planned ahead, and would never do useless work.
Since he said he wanted to immigrate to Xiangjiang, he must have his reasons.
