At the party after the award ceremony, Xiang Nan accepted congratulations from everyone.
With two awards in hand, including Best Film and Best Drama Series, Xiang Nan is truly the biggest winner.
In addition to chatting with everyone, Xiang Nan also finalized two projects.
One is the TV series "Everybody Loves Raymond."
This series was recommended to Xiang Nan by David Letterman. He was very optimistic about Ray Romano, a junior talk show. He thought this junior was very talented, so he wanted to make a family comedy centered on him.
The production of drama series requires investment, so David Letterman found Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan laughed when he heard it. "Everybody Loves Raymond" is actually no less classic than "Friends". It has won more Emmy Awards than "Friends".
It's just that the film was shot in a way that shows the parents' selfishness. It can be called the American version of "Country Love". In particular, the male protagonist's parents are no less evil than Liu Neng and Guang Kun.
Unlike "Friends", which is about young people's love, this drama is not a big hit in China. But in the United States, the ratings of this show are not weak at all.
For example, the six leading actors of "Friends" were paid millions of dollars per episode only in the final season. During the same period, Ray Romano's single-episode salary was US$2 million, which shows how popular he is.
The second is "Fargo" by the Coen brothers, which tells the story of a husband who hired two gangsters to kidnap his wife in order to defraud his father-in-law of funds.
As a result, the gangster not only kidnapped his wife, but also killed a police officer and two passers-by, making the case more and more involved...
The Coen brothers are a well-known brother team in the United States. They are good at making black comedies, such as "Blood Maze", "No Country for Old Men", "Barton Fink", "The Balladeer", "The Big Lebowski" and so on. masterpiece.
Their films have won many awards at the Cannes Film Festival, Berlin Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, American Golden Globe Awards, Academy Awards, etc., and their reputation can be said to be quite good.
Xiang Nan had not seen the movie "Fargo", but just listening to the Coen brothers' narration, he knew it must be a good movie, so he decided to invest.

After the Golden Globe Awards, Xiang Nan also began to make filming plans for the new year.
"Dumb and Dumber," "Bridge of Dreams," "The Wire," "Elf", "Jurassic Park 2" and "Stargate," a total of five projects.
"The Bridge" is a romance film directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Meryl Streep. It tells the story of a photographer who met a housewife. After a brief period of time together, the two developed strong feelings.
In the end, the heroine chose to break up with the photographer for the sake of her family. But her love for him lasted a lifetime...
This film is adapted from the book of the same name published in 1992. As soon as that movie was released, Xiang Nan bought the film and television adaptation rights.
"The Wire" tells the story of a battle of wits between two robbers and the police. It is hailed as a classic of American gangster crime films.
Especially the crazy performances of the original two leading actors, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, make this movie even more interesting.
"Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" also tells the story of dinosaurs. Given the difficulty of filming it, it would be just right to start production now and release it in two years.
"Ghost Horse Elf" tells the story of a little human girl and her father who were ordered to come to the manor to catch rogues, but ended up making friends with a kind and lovely elf.
"Stargate" tells the story of the United States' discovery of an ancient stargate. Through the stargate, the expedition team came to an alien planet and finally discovered the secrets of ancient humans...
"Stargate" is a very classic science fiction film. It makes bold assumptions about the birth of the pyramids, ancient aliens, etc., which is still very innovative.
It's a pity that this movie was shot in 1994 when there were many great films, so the box office was mediocre and it didn't get any awards recognition. It's really a pity.
Fortunately, the production company did not waste this idea, and subsequently filmed many TV series, becoming a popular science fiction drama.
"Dumb and Dumber" is also starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Dennis, with Claudia Schiffer playing the heroine.
Xiang Nan hopes that the cast of "The Wire" will remain unchanged. After all, Hollywood actors who can replace Al Pacino and Robert De Niro have not yet been born.
Xiang Nan is planning to hire Natalie Portman and Pierce Brosnan to film "Elf". Pierce Brosnan has just finished filming "007: GoldenEye", and now is the time when he is famous, so he doesn't need it in vain.
Xiang Nan is planning to invite Kevin Costner and Michelle Pfeiffer to co-star in "The Bridge" to save Kevin Costner from filming the ill-fated "Waterworld."
He had already received word that Warner Pictures was interested in hiring him to make the film. But Xiang Nan hopes that he can stop him. After all, he and Kevin have been working together for several years and have a deep friendship with each other.
As for Xiang Nan himself, he is preparing to shoot "Mission: Impossible 2".
At this time, two years have passed since the first part of "Mission: Impossible", and it is time to restart this project.

In February, Universal Pictures released Before Dawn , directed by Richard Linklater and directed by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.
This is a very romantic love story. It tells the story of Jesse, the male protagonist, who met the heroine Serena when he was traveling in Europe. The two fell in love at first sight and had a good conversation, so they agreed to date on the streets of Vienna until the sun rose... …
This is a very romantic movie. The hero and heroine meet by chance and fall in love at first sight. Although the process of getting along between them is just chatting and hanging out, the topics are very rich.
From parents to ex-boyfriends (girlfriends), from work to music, from life to death...the more they talk, the more they talk, and the two hearts get closer and closer.
Although there is no substantial relationship, the more so, the more valuable it becomes. After all, platonic love is more romantic and touching.
Just like Joe Braid and Princess Anne in "Roman Holiday", it is precisely because of their restraint that this love seems more precious.
Therefore, "Before Dawn" won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival held on February 9th, which shows that the quality of this film is still very high.
But it is a pity that although the media spoke highly of this movie, praising it as the best love movie in film history. But in the end, its box office was only 5.3 million US dollars, which was far lower than Universal Pictures' expectations for it, which is really regrettable.
But later, its video tape sales exceeded two million, so it was considered a hit.
