"Don't read the newspapers, they won't write good things, they will only try to annoy you." Xiang Nan persuaded Mary.
In the past week, major newspapers have been serializing their news, especially the introduction to Mary's life.
These media are really powerful, and the news they got from no one knows where they came from, and they almost got rid of Mary's truth.
What she has done before, where she has been, and how many people she has dated, have all been picked up by the media. It is so unnatural that Xiang Nan has to admire their power.
Mary was naturally unhappy when these secrets were revealed.
What's more, these media haven't said anything good about her, or say that she is a lucky girl who stepped on the dog's luck. She was lucky to be a neighbor with Xiang Nan in a slum area, and she flew up to a branch to become a phoenix;
Or say that she must have caught Xiang Nan's handle, so Xiang Nan didn't get rid of her after becoming famous, and he was forced to marry her... It's like saying that she is like the big boss of the villain.
Therefore, every time Mary reads the newspaper, she feels depressed. But she couldn't help but want to see it, so she was very angry every time.
"It's disgusting, they wrote me so badly." Mary angrily slammed the newspaper, "Dan, do you think I'm not good enough for you?"
"Stop thinking about it." Xiang Nan smiled, "Don't forget, I proposed to you on my own initiative. If I thought so, why would I still propose to you?
These newspapers just don't like other people's good, and they have to stir up things when they have nothing to do. For them, bad news is good news. So the best way is to ignore them.
How about it, the weather is hot now, it’s uncomfortable to stay at home, why don’t you go to Alaska? Seeing the Northern Lights, fishing for trout? "
Mary smiled and nodded.
…
Xiang Nan then took Mary to Alaska.
It is located at the northernmost tip of the United States, and its area is twice the size of the three northeastern provinces, but its population is only over 700,000, which is really a large area and sparsely populated.
There can effectively prevent the harassment of paparazzi, but also effectively avoid the bombing of modern media.
They stayed there for half a month, relying on the magnificent and wild natural scenery, and the tranquil and leisurely secluded life, they adjusted their mood well.
When they returned to New York again, there were very few reports of them in the newspapers.
After all, new news happens every day, and they cannot always occupy the headlines of public opinion.
Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and then released a new song "BeWhatYouWannaBe".
This is an English inspirational song, originally released by Swedish singer Darin Zanyar in 2005, it was very popular in China at that time.
Xiang Nan also wanted to use this song as an answer to the outside media.
《BeWhatYouWannaBe》, become the person you want to be, that is, "you decide your own destiny".
He wants to marry Mary, no matter what the outside world says, it will not change his choice.
…
Although it caused them some trouble, it must be said that it was these scandals that greatly increased his popularity.
Many people who didn't know him before now know that he has this number.
And the new single "BeWhatYouWannaBe" seems to have a meaning, so once it was released, it immediately caused a sensation.
As soon as the first release was released, it reached the fifth place on the Billboard charts, and successfully reached the top in the next week, becoming another champion single of Xiang Nan, and won the championship for five consecutive weeks, with sales of more than 5 million copies. Pretty ideal.
In addition, in April, Xiang Nan also participated in auditions for many film and television dramas.
Among them are "Spider-Man 3" by Sam Raimi, "The Incredible Hulk" planned by Marvel, "Night at the Museum" prepared by Fox Films, etc.
Xiang Nan auditioned mostly for the second male role. He knew that although he was the king of music, he could not be the protagonist in a big-budget movie.
Firstly, his box office appeal has not been verified, and no film company dares to use him as a starring role in a big production that has invested more than 80 million US dollars;
Secondly, his acting skills have not been recognized by the industry. Therefore, roles that require acting skills naturally do not consider him. Therefore, Xiang Nan is not greedy, he usually chooses the second male role in blockbuster special effects movies.
Special effects blockbusters, compared with literary films, do not have too much test for acting skills. Moreover, the male number two doesn't have to carry the box office, and if the box office hits, he can still get a little bit of credit.
However, his little thought was not completely satisfactory, and none of these big productions dared to take the risk of using him. However, two small producers were willing to invite him to be the leading role, one was the horror film "House of Wax Museum" and the other was the musical film "Dancing Out of My Life".
Because the production schedules of the two films were separate, Xiang Nan took over both.
…
In May, Xiang Nan released a new song "goodtime".
This was originally a popular song sung by Adam Young and Carly Rae Jepsen. After it was released, it became very popular and received a lot of praise.
Now that Xiang Nan is singing, he is naturally more popular, and has won the top spot on the Billboard charts for two weeks in a row. The number of downloads on the online platform has been ranked in the top ten of the rankings for ten consecutive weeks, and it can be said to be quite well received among young people.
In June, Xiang Nan participated in the filming of "House of Wax Museum of Horror".
This movie tells the story of six young people who participated in a concert and their car had a flat tire on the road, so they went to a small town to ask for help, but they met a perverted killer.
Xiang Nan plays one of the six young men, the heroine's elder brother, a very masculine man who survives to the end.
According to the director, the reason why he was chosen as the leading role was because Xiang Nan's hormones were bursting, which could attract female audiences to the theater.
In addition to him, there is Elisa Cusport, who played Jack Bauer's daughter in "24 Hours of Counter Terrorism"; Judd Padrick, who played Sam in "Supernatural", and Well-known Beverly socialite Paris Hilton.
She became famous in one fell swoop last year because of the leak of her private video, becoming a well-known controversial figure in the United States. She also published books and albums because of this, and starred in film and television dramas, which can be regarded as a wave of black and red.
She played the role of the promiscuous female number two in the movie. She only wanted to make out with her boyfriend, and then naturally she couldn't escape the law of horror movies.
"House of Wax Museum of Horror" is the first film Xiang Nan starred in, and the cost is 30 million US dollars, which is considered a medium production.
For him, the opportunity to play the leading role in such a big-budget movie is really rare.
So Xiang Nan worked very hard, even if it was some dangerous moves, he had the courage to take part in it himself. And his approach has also won the unanimous appreciation of the director and producer.
Finally, the filming of this movie was completed in July, but it might have to wait until next year to release it.
