"You should try to persuade me again. If it doesn't work, you can force me to take this drama." Michelle Pfeiffer complained, "That way, I won't become a joke."
Xiang Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard what she said.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, she still looks the same when she is unreasonable.
"Okay, don't worry too much." He persuaded with a smile, ""Thelma and Louise" is also my work, and I have the same confidence in it. Don't worry, it won't be any worse than "The Silence of the Lambs" Go."
"Really?" Michelle Pfeiffer asked suspiciously.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Xiang Nan smiled.
"Okay." Michelle nodded, "If this movie is not a hit, then you promise to arrange a sure-fire movie for me."
"Okay." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
Michelle felt relieved now.

In October, Li Jiaxin's visa was approved and then came to Hollywood.
Xiang Nan settled her in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, which made Li Jiaxin a little dissatisfied.
She knew that Xiang Nan had a house in Hollywood. It was a mansion built in the 1960s, covering an area of about 20 acres. It was built by Joeyin Vanderpump, the American oil tycoon at the time, in order to pursue the Hollywood star at the time. ·Covered by Dunaway.
But unfortunately, the two broke up before the house was built, so the house was sold by Vanderpump and taken over by a real estate company for rental.
In **, the real estate industry in the United States collapsed. Real estate companies were heavily in debt and faced liquidation. Xiang Nan bought it cheaply for less than one-tenth of the current market price, making a profit of less than 10 million US dollars from this alone.
This incident was later reported by the media and was used as an example of his investment vision, which spread for a long time.
Li Jiaxin had naturally heard the news, because she naturally felt dissatisfied with Xiang Nan's arrangement for her to stay in a hotel instead of staying at his home.
"Want to stay in a hotel? I thought you would arrange for me to stay at your home." Li Jiaxin pretended to be casual.
"Why, you want to enter my house as soon as you arrive and take charge of the house?" When Xiang Nan heard this, he also smiled and said, "Don't worry, there must be a process."
Li Jiaxin nodded, and then asked, "Charles, if you want me to come to Hollywood to develop, what good scripts can you give me?"
"Don't worry, I have plans." Xiang Nan smiled, "I just promise that I won't disappoint you."
He was not ready to arrange for Li Jiaxin to star in a movie immediately. The reason is simple. He invited Li Jiaxin to come to Hollywood to develop, but he just used it as bait.
Li Jiaxin's acting skills are not good, and his appearance is not outstanding in Hollywood. Asking her to film a movie would not be a complete loss, at least it would be a big risk.
Xiang Nan was just greedy for her for a moment, and he really didn't want to pay a high price. Nowadays, the investment for a medium-budget movie in Hollywood exceeds US$20 million.
In order to pick up a girl, he would risk 20 million US dollars, unless Xiang Nan had a high fever and died.
Seeing what he said, Li Jiaxin nodded.
…
For a period of time after that, Xiang Nan did not arrange a movie for Li Jiaxin, but only helped her arrange to attend some activities.
For example, Los Angeles Fashion Week, a new product launch conference of a fashion brand, a party of a Hollywood star, an exhibition of an art master, etc.
These events often attract celebrities and rich people. For ordinary people, they are only a dream, and there is no way to attend them.
But for Xiang Nan, participating was easy.
Li Jiaxin was very willing to attend such events and enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight and being superhuman, so she never tired of it and gradually lost herself in the fame and fortune fair of Hollywood.
There are two techniques in the world of picking up girls. If she is new to the world, take her to see all the prosperity of the world; if she has experienced all the vicissitudes of life, ride the merry-go-round with her.
Li Jiaxin has just made his debut two years ago and is relatively new to the world. The prosperity of Hollywood is far beyond that of Xiangjiang. Even if those rich men pursue her, they usually just give her money, gifts, and a little extra courtesy, and they will never be able to reach Xiang Nan's level.
Therefore, within a month, Li Jiaxin was captured by him.

In October, "The Silence of the Lambs" will be followed by "Thelma and Louise."
This movie stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Demi Moore. It tells the story of a pair of best friends who accidentally killed someone while resisting the harassment of a man during a vacation. Without effective help, they had to start fleeing. The story of Tianya.
This is a feminist film that reflects the oppression and injustice suffered by women in the patriarchal society of the United States. It seems very touching.
Coupled with the wonderful performances of Michelle Pfeiffer and Demi Moore, many viewers were excited to watch it, so the movie has a very good reputation.
Michelle Pfeiffer breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.
What she is most worried about is that "Thelma and Louise" will not receive a good response, and people will treat her as a joke. But now the response to "Thelma and Louise" has been very good, which makes her feel relieved.
Moreover, "Thelma and Louise" ultimately grossed US$45 million in North American box office and nearly US$100 million in global box office.
Although it is not as good as "Silence of the Lambs", as a movie starring two female stars, it is already very good to achieve such results.
At least in Michelle Pfeiffer's opinion, it was worthwhile for her to give up "The Silence of the Lambs" for this movie.
…
In November, "JFK" directed by director Oliver Stone and starring Kevin Costner was released.
This is a thrilling thriller that tells the story of prosecutor Jim Garrison, who through careful investigation, peeled off the cocoons and finally revealed the truth about the assassination of President Kennedy.
The film's script is based on the real-life character Jim Garrison. In order to write this script, Oliver Stone did not hesitate to read hundreds of books on the assassination of Kennedy and compiled detailed information.
And when shooting, no expense was spared to strive for perfection.
For example, Kennedy's office in the movie was restored one-to-one according to the original records at the time, at a cost of US$70,000. But such a well-built office only appears in the movie for eight seconds.
However, such efforts are still very effective.
The audience spoke highly of the film and found the story to be ups and downs and fascinating. Although it lasts three hours, which is twice as long as an ordinary movie, it is not boring at all when watching it. On the contrary, after watching it, it still makes people feel that there is still more to enjoy.
As a result, this movie has a very good box office, with a box office of more than 70 million US dollars in North America and a global box office of 205 million US dollars.
Compared with the investment of 40 million US dollars, it can be said to be a huge profit.
