Xiang Nan filmed "Iron Man" from April to October.
In December, "Mouse Laibao" starring him was officially released.
The film has an investment of 60 million U.S. dollars, and it will be released on Christmas in December. Facing competition from blockbuster films such as Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Prestige, and Night at the Museum, it is expected to fall steadily. of.
But what I didn't expect was that this live-action and animated film aimed at children actually achieved a counterattack. The box office in North America alone reached 210 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office even exceeded 400 million U.S. dollars.
This movie is also the first time that Xiang Nan's box office has exceeded 400 million, which can be said to be another success.
The fact that this film achieved such a high score once again proves Xiang Nan's amazing box office appeal and excellent film selection vision.
Since his debut, the movies he has chosen are basically box office and word-of-mouth wins. It is really lucky to become a movie superstar step by step.
The success of "Mouse Laibao" also let the outside world see Xiang Nan's comedy talent and more possibilities.
So then the crew of "The Hangover" also found him and asked him to play the leading role of Phil, who took his good brother to Las Vegas for a bachelor party, but lost his good brother...
In addition, due to the great success of "Mouse Lai Bao", the producer Fox Pictures also immediately put "Mouse Lai Bao 2" on the agenda.
…
Entering 2007, Xiang Nan began to prepare a new album for Irina.
The new album still follows the route of pure love and pure love, and the songs are also provided by Xiang Nan, such as "youbelongwithme", "lovestory", "ILOVEYOULIKEALOVESONG", "Fearless" and so on.
In contrast, because Xiang Nan wanted to shoot "The Hangover", he didn't make a new album for the time being, but only released a few singles, such as the dance song "where is love" calling for peace, the R&B style "telling the world", and hip-hop dance music "Halloffame".
The standard is still there, so the title of King of Music is still perfect.
In 2007, Xiang Nan also exposed the CIA's hourglass plan.
This plan is a latent plan specifically targeting foreign countries, many of which have been mixed into high-level and key departments.
They steal the country's confidential information and develop and broaden the country's intelligence lines, which can be said to be extremely harmful.
The exposure of the Hourglass Project has almost wiped out all the hidden agents under the CIA.
Naturally, all countries are not polite to these exposed spies, catch them, lock them up, and kill them. This has caused the CIA to suffer extremely heavy losses.
Even the director of the CIA was forced to abdicate because of this.
After all, once hundreds of latent agents are killed, someone must be held accountable.
Moreover, they still have to try to rescue those agents, and the manpower, material and financial resources they have paid for this are also enormous.
…
In March 2008, "The Hangover" was officially released.
This is a low-budget R-rated comedy, with a total cost of less than 30 million U.S. dollars.
But because the plot is very ingenious, not only is it full of suspense, but also countless jokes broke out in the process of solving the puzzle.
Therefore, after its launch, it became very popular.
The final North American box office was 270 million US dollars, breaking the box office record of an R-rated movie. The global box office is 560 million U.S. dollars, which is even more popular than many big productions with more than 100 million U.S. dollars.
If he wants to collect the full salary, then the movie will not be made. So he exchanged his salary for a share. Now that "The Hangover" is a big hit, Xiang Nanguang has earned a small 100 million dollars. In May 2008, "Iron Man" was officially released.
This is the first work of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, telling the story of how Tony Stark grew from a **** to a superhero.
Because the story is wonderfully arranged, the growth arc of the characters is perfect, and the special effects are amazing. Coupled with the mecha plot that boys have, it made "Iron Man" an instant hit once it was released.
In the end, the North American box office was 320 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was close to 600 million U.S. dollars. Xiang Nan also received a 30 million U.S. dollar salary.
And because the box office of three consecutive films exceeded 400 million US dollars, and each film still doubled its revenue. Xiang Nan is also officially among the top Hollywood stars.
The salary has soared from the previous 15 million to the current 30 million, a huge double.
And more importantly, with the box office success of "Iron Man", the Marvel Cinematic Universe was officially launched, and the Iron Man played by Xiang Nan, as the core of the Avengers, is tantamount to an iron job.
Next, he will star in "Iron Man 2, 3", "Captain America 3", "Avengers 1, 2, 3, 4" and so on. One film a year is enough to film for one or five years. A good business with no loss.
…
In the following years, Xiang Nan filmed "Mouse 2", "The Hangover 2", "Sherlock Holmes 1, 2", "Source Code", "The Gone Girl", "You Now See Me 1" , 2 "and so on.
Not only made a lot of money because of this, but also gained a great reputation and reputation.
In 2015, Xiang Nan formally went through the procedures for naturalization in the United States and became a legal citizen of the United States.
The reason for naturalization in the United States is to reduce the chance of exposure. The St. Kitts and Nevis passport in his hand is really eye-catching. Now that he has changed to an American passport, he can enter and exit more freely.
Secondly, American intelligence agencies still have scruples about their own citizens after all. The stumbling block project was only aimed at foreigners, and the later Black Heather Project began to target Chinese people.
After being naturalized, Xiang Nan then revealed the bottom line plan, which is designed to monitor suspected dangerous elements in the United States.
Among them are American citizens, and many foreign nationalities, among which Chinese, Middle Eastern, and some African American human rights activists are the most.
They are all suspected of causing harm to the United States. Therefore, their phones, computers, mailboxes and even bank accounts are all under surveillance.
And once a possible clue is discovered, they will be arrested, tortured, and repatriated immediately, which can be said to be quite cruel.
After this information broke out, the CIA was condemned again.
In the United States, people take privacy very seriously. They don't want anyone to interfere in their lives and invade their privacy. Now the CIA is listening to their phone calls, checking their computers, emails, and bank accounts, which is simply a great offense to them.
So they protested one after another, and even hired a lawyer together to file a lawsuit with the CIA, demanding an apology and compensation.
For a while, the CIA was overwhelmed again.
The bureau chief who has just taken over for less than two years is about to be replaced again. Even the person in charge of the bottom line plan, as well as the entire project team, were also abolished.
The newly appointed director of the CIA is Robert Dewey who appeared in "The Bourne Shadow V".
Xiang Nan knew that this was also a ruthless character.
Not only did he notice the value of big data as early as the beginning of the popularization of the Internet, but he also used funds to support the Internet giants and let them become his own information source, which can be said to be sophisticated.
Moreover, when he sensed that they were rebellious, he would immediately order them to be removed, which was quite cruel.
The rise of such a ruthless character also shows that the CIA has no sign of changing at all, and they will continue to act in the same way and continue to do the same evil.
It is like the Black Heather Project after the Stumbling Stone Project, the Iron Hand Project after the Deep Dream Project, and the Harvest Project and Lux Project after the Emerald Lake Project.
