Xiang Nan took Catherine Zeta-Jones on the red carpet, immediately making her the focus of the media.
Countless spears and cannons were aimed at her, allowing Zeta Jones to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention.
This was something she would never have experienced when she was a stage actress in England, and she loved and was obsessed with this feeling.
"Charles, you and Catherine are walking on the red carpet. Could it be that you have a new collaboration?" the host asked curiously.
"Yes, my new film will use Catherine as the heroine." Xiang Nan explained with a smile.
"What type of movie will it be?" the host asked immediately.
"It's a romantic literary film." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I won't tell you the specific story content. In short, I assure you that it will be a very exciting and beautiful movie."
"Then we'll start looking forward to it." The host nodded.
…
Then at the Golden Globe Awards, "Terminator 2" and "Scent of a Woman" both won many awards. In particular, "Scent of a Woman" won two awards for Best Picture and Best Actor in the Drama category, becoming the biggest winner in this field.
It's a pity that the Golden Globe Awards have a tradition of dividing pork. Although Xiang Nan was shortlisted for the Best Screenplay Award, he ultimately lost to Michael Tolkien's "The Players." But being able to win the Best Picture Award already made Xiang Nan very happy.
It is worth mentioning that the new drama "Friends" that Xiang Nan participated in the production last year was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Musical Comedy Series this year, but unfortunately it lost to "Rose End".
The series began airing in 1988 and ran for nine seasons before it was announced to be completed in 1997. You can tell whether an American TV series is popular or not by looking at the number of seasons it has been produced.
The more popular a work is, the more profitable it is, so the production company and TV station are less willing to end it.
For example, "Friends" lasted for ten seasons. If the actors didn't really want to play the show, it wouldn't be a problem to continue filming for another five or six seasons. "The Big Bang Theory" has been filming for twelve seasons, and the lead actor doesn't want to do it anymore. "Two and a Half Men" also ran for twelve seasons, and "24" ran for eight seasons, and then was rebooted and filmed for two more seasons...
Therefore, the fact that Roseanne Family Life was produced for nine seasons shows that the show is really popular. As a newbie, "Friends" can compete with such a popular drama for the best musical comedy series, which is already a big deal.
It is worth mentioning that Johnny Galecki, who plays Leonard in "The Big Bang Theory", and Laurie Metcalfe, who plays Sheldon's mother, both star in this show.
…
At the party after the Golden Globe Awards, the big winner Xiang Nan received the most congratulations and made other attendees envious.
After Xiang Nan exchanged pleasantries with them, he met the other five leading actors of "Friends" under the introduction of Courtney Cox.
Although the five of them have different personalities, they are all relatively easy to talk to. We have been working together for half a year, and we are very happy with each other. We have become friends.
This is actually rare in the history of American dramas. Although many artists work very happily together on screen, they regard each other as enemies in private.
For example, the male and female protagonists of "The Book of Secrets", Nathan Fillion and Steiner Caddick, are lovers in the show, but in real life they are attracted to each other and hate each other.
So much so that the heroine Steiner Kadik decided to quit in the eighth season, which made the originally good series come to an end, which is really a pity.
"I'm really happy to meet you." Xiang Nan smiled and said to them, "Actually, you may not know that I personally selected all six of you."
Hearing what she said, the six of them were a little excited.
Xiang Nan is one of the most outstanding producers in Hollywood. The movies he produces every year are both box office and word-of-mouth hits, and almost none of them fails.
And the artists he selects will basically become famous in the end. Such as Michelle Pfeiffer, Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Brad Pitt...
Since the six of them were also selected by Xiang Nan, they would definitely become famous, which naturally made them very happy. After all, except for Courtney, the other five are basically transparent now, and they are not even considered third-tier.
"Really, Charles, thank you~" Lisa Kudrow said excitedly.
"Yes, thank you very much for choosing us." David Hume also said gratefully.
"You're welcome." Xiang Nan smiled, "I heard from Courtney that you two also have a good relationship in private. This is a good thing, and you should work hard to maintain it.
I hope you can be friends not only in the show, but also in real life. Believe me, this is to your advantage. "
The six leading actors of "Friends" are all friends on and off the screen, which gives the audience the best viewing experience.
Because the reason why many people watch "Friends" over and over is not because of how funny the show is.
To be honest, after watching any comedy dozens of times and knowing all the stories, lines, and performances by heart, it is difficult to be as hilarious as when you first watched it. Even watching a new drama will make you laugh more often.
The reason why many people watch this drama repeatedly is because they have regarded these six leading actors as their friends, hoping to gain friendship and love from the drama that are difficult to find in real life.
Therefore, if they are friends in the show and in real life, it will bring more healing to the audience.
"We will work hard." The six people said one after another.
…
Xiang Nan subsequently finalized two projects.
One is the American drama "The X-Files", which tells the story of detectives Scarlett and Mulder investigating mysterious incidents together.
This TV series is quite famous in the history of American TV series. It combines many elements such as UFOs, urban ghost stories, science fiction, conspiracy theories, etc. It is bizarre and fascinating, so it has won the love of countless die-hard fans.
Even years after the show ended, fans are still creating fan versions of "The X-Files" scripts on forums, which shows how much they love the show.
The other is the movie "Philadelphia Story", which tells the story of lawyer Andrew who was fired from the law firm because he was found to be gay and loved a patient with a fatal disease. For this reason, he found lawyer Qiao to seek justice for himself...
In the early 1990s, homosexuality and HIV were still relatively taboo topics in the United States. There are very few movies and TV dramas that dare to face this field directly, and everyone ignores it intentionally or unintentionally.
And this "Philadelphia Story" is the first film to directly face the AIDS epidemic, which has extraordinary significance. But precisely because of this, many film companies are hesitant to invest in it. It took more than two years after the script was written, but it still failed to attract investment.
Xiang Nan knew about this movie, which was said to be a classic of literary films, so he agreed to invest.
