In May, Xiang Nan returned to Beijing and attended the graduation ceremony.
To be honest, although he has been in college for four years, he has never lived a day in college, which is really a pity.
But having said that, there are many opportunities to go to college, but the golden period of Hong Kong movies only lasts for more than ten years. It would be a real pity to miss it.
So Xiang Nan has no regrets.
After graduation, Xiang Nan does not need to accept state assignments like other students.
On the day he received his diploma, he left the capital by plane and returned to the United States.
Now that the "Die Hard" project is in preparation, Xiang Nan, as the screenwriter and starring, still enjoys a certain say.
At the very least, he can give his own opinions on the selection of actors.
Of course, it’s hard to say whether people will listen.
As for the heroine, Xiang Nan has many choices at her disposal.
For example, Jamie Curtis, the heroine of "Moonlight", Michelle Pfeiffer, the star of "Hollywood Knights", Kim Cattrall, the star of "Probation", and the star of "The New Flyer" Starring Daryl Hannah and more.
He thinks these actresses are pretty good.
Jamie Curtis is known as the scream queen. Classic movies such as "Moonlight", "A Fish Called Wanda", "True Lies", and "Knives Out" are still active on the stage, and The older you get, the more popular it becomes.
Michelle Pfeiffer, a blonde and fair-skinned beauty, is the most classic image of American beauty. She is nearly 60 years old, and she was even included in Brother Martian's hit song "Uptown Funk", which shows her great charm.
"Scarface" and "Batman Returns" are her most classic masterpieces. In addition, she also played the first generation of Wasp in the Marvel Universe.
Kim Cattrall, a beauty from the British Isles, did not have a smooth early stage of her acting career. Although she appeared in blockbuster films such as "Police Academy" and "Monster in Chinatown", she was not outstanding.
It wasn't until 1987 that he became famous after starring in "The Spirit". In the 1990s, she participated in one of the most classic works in the history of American dramas - "The City", in which she played the unruly Samantha Jones, and she truly became a top Hollywood star.
Daryl Hannah is not well known right now. But in the future she will star in "Blade Runner", "Mermaid", "Wall Street", "Steel Magnolias", "Kill Bill", etc., and she was also a first-line movie star in Hollywood.
Xiang Nan has watched many Hollywood movies and TV series, and is quite familiar with these actresses, so now it is difficult to choose.
…
"Charles, who do you think is the most attractive?" Producer Mario Caesar asked Xiang Nandao.
Last time, the producer Wood Heathrow was kicked out of the production of "Die Hard" because of his poor cooperation with Xiang Nan.
Mario Caesar didn't want to make the same mistake again, so he accommodated Xiang Nan as much as possible within the scope allowed. In this way, both the quality of the movie and his relationship with Xiang Nan can be guaranteed.
"I need to think about it again." Xiang Nan really had a hard time making up his mind. After all, these actors are all good and they all feel suitable.
To be honest, if Brooke Shields wasn't only sixteen years old and didn't look like a working girl, he would have given this opportunity to her. After all, we have worked together for a long time and have a tacit understanding with each other.
Besides, men are always willing to give more preferential treatment to women who like them.
"Okay, then you go back and think about it carefully. It's best to give me a reply within a week." Mario said to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan nodded.
…
After dinner in the evening, Xiang Nan returned to the hotel room, took out the pen and paper from the safe, and continued to write his script.
He is currently writing the script for "Ghostbusters", which was released in 1984. After its launch, it became extremely popular. It is the first horror comedy film in the United States to gross over 100 million US dollars.
After that, this series also launched two sequels. Although the box office performance was not as good as the first one, it was still a quite valuable IP.
What Xiang Nan wants to do now is to collect as many high-value IPs as possible into his own hands.
In this way, not only can he become famous, but when he owns a film company in the future, he can also turn all these IPs into wealth.
While I was writing, I heard a knock on the door.
Xiang Nan put away the pen and paper, and then came to the door. When he looked through the peephole, he saw an unfamiliar middle-aged man standing in front of the door with a standard salesman-like smile on his face.
Xiang Nan blinked and then opened the door, "Who are you looking for?"
"Hi, Charles, let me introduce myself. My name is Ben Jackson, and I am an agent." The visitor said with a familiar smile.
Xiang Nan nodded, "If you want to sign me, then I'm sorry, I already have an agent."
"I know." Ben smiled, "Although I really want to sign you, the purpose of my coming today is not for this matter."
"Then what are you doing for?" Xiang Nan asked doubtfully.
"I'm here for the heroine of "Die Hard"." Ben explained with a smile, "I know you have the right to recommend, and the artist I serve happens to be among the candidates, so I hope you can consider recommending Give her a moment."
"..." Xiang Nan was stunned.
Ben Jackson is quite well informed. How does he know which artists have been selected and how does he know that he has the right to recommend them?
"Why should I help you?" he then asked.
There is no free lunch in the world. "Die Hard" is a large-scale production with an investment of over 10 million US dollars. Although the heroine has a small role, she is still a heroine, so the competition is quite fierce.
Xiang Nan is not that stupid to give such an important role to others easily.
"As long as you agree to recommend her, I will let her stay with you for a month." Ben Jackson said with a smile, "Since my artist can be shortlisted, it already shows that she has enough strength.
Even if you recommend her, it won't affect the quality of the movie. Moreover, as long as you agree to recommend, no matter whether you are selected or not, I will keep my promise. "
Xiang Nan couldn't help but blinked after hearing this.
He has heard that Hollywood also has so-called unspoken rules, called casting couch or red sofa. Many artists have to make sacrifices in order to get opportunities to perform.
However, Xiang Nan became a hit with just one movie and successfully established himself, so he didn't have to make such big sacrifices as those artists.
This was the first time he encountered this kind of thing, and I have to say, it really broadened his horizons.
Although he wanted to know which artist Ben Jackson was serving. But seeing how familiar he is, it's not hard to imagine how much experience that artist has.
No matter how famous and beautiful such artists are, in essence, they are no different from those in special industries. It’s nothing more than one charging a higher price and the other charging a lower price.
Xiang Nan has never been interested in this kind of people.
"That's enough, I don't want to hear anymore, get out~" Xiang Nan pointed at the door.
"Are you really not thinking about it anymore?" Ben Jackson said, "I haven't even said her name yet."
"That's enough. If you don't want your artist to lose the election, leave immediately." Xiang Nan scolded, he didn't want to dirty his ears.
Ben Jackson had no choice but to retreat.
