Xiang Nan once again finalized two projects at the Golden Globe Awards party.
One is the TV series "Friends from the Opposite Door".
It was an idea conceived by screenwriters David Crane and Marta Kaufman, who then pitched the idea to producers Noelle Brett and Adam Seth. The two of them then pitched the idea to other production companies.
It's just that those production companies thought that such a series would not be popular, so they were rejected many times. Therefore, Noelle Brett and Adam Seth found Xiang Nan.
If even Xiang Nan is not optimistic about this idea, then they will officially give up. Anyway, they don’t know how many similar ideas they sign in a year, so failure is normal. On the contrary, it is rare to be photographed.
After Xiang Nan heard the idea, he immediately recognized this series as the American TV series "Friends" that would later become a hit, so he immediately decided to produce this series.
He is a loyal fan of this show. He has watched every episode and knows the plot of every episode. In fact, if they hadn't come to his door, Xiang Nan would have filmed it himself.
Anyway, in addition to movies, Universal Pictures is also involved in the production of TV series. The benefits brought by a popular TV series are no less than those earned by a movie.
If it's a hit like "Friends", it can be sold for sky-high prices. According to reports, although the show ended more than ten years ago, it still earns Warner Bros. a billion dollars in profits every year, with only the six leading actors sharing a share of $20 million per year.
…
The other one is Stallone's new film "The Last Stand."
The 1990s were not kind to Stallone. He starred in "Mother and Son Dragon" and "Finger Dragon", both of which were unsatisfactory at the box office.
Coupled with the fact that other action stars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson and others have not yet succeeded, Stallone is already facing a big crisis. So much so that it is difficult to find investors for his new film.
However, Xiang Nan believed that Stallone had not expired so early, so he extended a helping hand to him. He promised to invest $20 million in Stallone.
This moved Stallone very much. Although they have always been competitors, it is obvious that Xiang Nan is much more generous than he thought.
…
After the Golden Globe Awards, Xiang Nan announced a new filming plan.
One is "Groundhog Day", which tells the story of a man who is full of pessimism, loss and dissatisfaction with life and suddenly finds himself trapped on the same day.
After trying to escape to no avail, he began to try countless kinds of life, and finally chose to be kind and reborn, so that he could live a happy life even for one day. Thus, his time dilemma was finally lifted.
This is a fable-like movie, similar to movies such as "The Impostor" and "Remote Control", both of which want to tell people a truth. That is, no matter how bad life is, you must always spend it seriously and happily.
Just like the well-known American proverb, if God gives you a lemon fruit, you turn it into delicious lemon juice.
One is "The Fugitive". This film tells the story of a doctor who was wrongly accused of killing his wife and tried to find ways to clear his name while on the run.
The original version of this movie starred Harrison Ford and was introduced to the Mainland in 1994. It was also the first American blockbuster introduced in the Mainland in the form of split credits.
One is "Gannet Assassination Order".
It tells the story of two top officials who were killed one after another. Debbie, a top student in the college, discovered the conspiracy and prepared to hand it over to her boss, but was assassinated. Finally, under the protection of the male protagonist, they found the key evidence and made the truth public.
This is also an action movie, but there are not many thrilling action scenes, and instead there are thrilling dramas. Just like the high-level game in "The Assassination of John F. Kennedy", there is no blood at all, but it is more cruel.
One is "Slim Daddy".
It tells the story of a middle-aged divorced man who, in order to get closer to his daughter, chooses to disguise himself as a woman, sneak into his ex-wife's house, and finally reunite with his wife and daughter.
This movie starred Robin Williams and was a huge success after its release, so the Hong Kong movie "Big Rich" almost copied this story.
Another one is "RoboCop 3".
The first two films of this movie did well at the box office and received good reviews. Xiang Nan is planning to film the final chapter and then officially end the drama.
After all, Bruce Willis is not very popular right now. If he doesn't film it, he may not even be able to pay his salary.
…
"Groundhog Day", Xiang Nan is planning to invite Nicolas Cage and Brooke Shields to star.
On the one hand, his salary is reasonable. Although he is now in the top tier, his salary is still only two million US dollars. This is inseparable from his love of making niche literary films.
On the one hand, his acting skills are also very good. He can play both a down-and-out man full of complaints and a charming artistic man. Xiang Nan has confidence in him.
The original version of "The Fugitive" starred Harrison Ford, but in this version, Xiang Nan is planning to ask Mel Gibson to star.
On the one hand, their salaries are quite different. Harrison Ford's salary is almost 10 million US dollars, while Mel Gibson's salary is only 3 million.
On the one hand, with Mel Gibson's acting skills, playing such an Avenger is easy to do and won't be too strenuous.
"Grannet", Xiang Nan is planning to invite Nicole Kidman and Tom Hanks to star. As for "My Fair Daddy", it still stars Robin Williams.
Xiang Nan himself is also preparing to shoot "Lethal Weapon 3" and give the movie a final chapter. In this way, it can be regarded as an explanation to the fans.
…
In January, the hilarious "Old Man" starring Mike Myers was released.
This movie is a funny comedy film invested by Xiang Nan last year.
Mike Myers was once a pillar of the most famous variety show "Saturday Night Live" in the United States. His status was similar to that of a sketch actor in the Spring Festival Gala, and he was considered a national-level comedian.
"The Stars" is a script he wrote based on his popular character Wayne on "Saturday Night Live."
Just like the Hui brothers' famous work "Double Stars", it is also a script based on their popular variety show "Double Stars Announcement".
Similar to "Double Star", the script of "Anti-Ghost" is also a bit loose. It is all put together by some funny jokes. The connection between them is not close. There are good sentences but no good chapters, but it is used It's enough to be funny and amusing.
In addition, Mike Myers is also considered a national comedian after all, so after the release of "Tokyo", it performed well at the box office. In the end, the box office in North America was US$120 million, which really shocked people in the industry.
