After buying these old movies, they don't just sit in the warehouse gathering dust, which will not produce any value.
For these films to be valuable, they must first be restored. After many old movies were shot, the film was not well preserved. Some are damp, deformed, and even bitten by insects and rats, so they must be repaired and restored to their original appearance as much as possible.
Restoring old movies is not an easy task and requires the joint efforts of capital and technology. Fortunately, Real Kung Fu Pictures has the capital.
In order to restore old movies, Wang Jing specially invited technicians from Japan to repair and renovate the old movies. More than thirty films have been restored so far, and it is expected that it will take about ten years to restore them all.
These restored old movies have been released on video tapes and DVDs, but their sales are actually not very high. After all, those who love old movies are always in the minority.
But Xiang Nan didn't want to give up on this meaningful work. After all, old movies are the memories of a generation and are the most precious.
Many of the movies and TV dramas Xiang Nan watched when he was a child can no longer be found due to various reasons, leaving a large chunk of his childhood memory missing, which is really a pity. So he hoped that this regret would not happen to others.
…
After meeting Wang Jing, Xiang Nan made an appointment with Zhong Liti for dinner.
Chung was born in Montreal, Canada. She returned to Hong Kong in 1993 to debut as Miss Chinese International. In 1994, she starred in "Legend of Mermaid" and became an instant hit with her innocent and lovely image.
After that, the development went smoothly, and he collaborated with Zhou Xingchi in "Lord of Destruction" and "White Bread Blue Sky", with Jet Li in "The Bodyguard of South China Sea", and with Tony Leung in "Rogue Doctor"...
In less than two years, she has made nearly ten films, all of which she collaborated with big-name stars, which shows how popular she is.
The reason why Xiang Nan has feelings for her is because of her bold performance in "Evening Mother". It is said that when this film was released in Hong Kong, an old man was so excited that he suffered a heart attack and was forced to go to the hospital.
"Hello, Miss Zhong~" Xiang Nan smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Ning~" Zhong Liti also smiled and shook hands with him, then sat down generously, "I never thought you would ask me to dinner."
She grew up in Canada and has the character of a ghost girl. She is direct, cheerful and generous. These are all her advantages.
"Really?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Actually, I heard Director Wang Jing say that you are the most popular actress in the Hong Kong film industry in the past two years. So on a whim, I wanted to ask you out to meet. Well, sure enough Meeting is even more famous, Miss Zhong, you are indeed well-deserved."
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Zhong Liti was naturally very happy, "Thank you Mr. Ning for the compliment. In fact, I have always wanted to meet you. You are my idol, ever since your first movie in Hollywood, "The Dragon" Come on, I’ve fallen in love with you.”
"Yeah, that's really my honor." Xiang Nan nodded, "Actually, I think you can also go to Hollywood to develop."
"Really?" Zhong Liti asked in surprise.
"Of course. On the one hand, you have language talent, and the most difficult language barrier is not difficult for you at all. On the one hand, you are very beautiful. Even in the eyes of foreigners, you are the pretty one. "Yes." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I have also watched a few movies you have made. Although your acting skills are not very good, they are definitely not bad. These are your advantages, you can consider them."
"Okay." Zhong Liti nodded happily.
As a Canadian, separated from the United States by a thin line, she certainly knows how prosperous Hollywood is. To be honest, it is much better than Xiangjiang Film Circle.
All the hard-earned money earned by all the film companies in the Hong Kong film industry in a year cannot compare with the income of a Hollywood commercial blockbuster. This is the gap.
Seeing her taking the bait, Xiang Nan couldn't help but smile and nod.
The most important thing when picking up girls is attraction. Let her chase you, and the success rate will naturally be much higher than if you chase her.
And the reason why he always has trouble picking up girls is that he has too many chips in his hands. Money, reputation, status...he has no shortage of anything and can give everything, so he is naturally attractive to women.
In the next few days, in order to get a ticket to Hollywood, Zhong Liti tried her best to accompany Xiang Nan.
In the end, Xiang Nan promised her that he would give her a role in a new film next year.
…
In December, Xiang Nan returned to the United States.
At this time, Universal Pictures was releasing the movie "Dumb and Dumber," starring Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, and Claudia Schiffer.
This movie tells the story of Dumb seeing a beautiful woman at the airport, falling in love at first sight, and then picking up her suitcase. So he took Agua with him and drove across the United States to deliver a suitcase to a beautiful woman. He had no idea that he was involved in a huge trouble...
This is an absurd and funny comedy, with absurd characters and absurd stories, which is why there are so many jokes. All in all, this is a laugh-out-loud movie.
Therefore, in the Christmas season, the box office of this movie was amazing. It grossed US$120 million in North America and US$240 million at the global box office, making it a definite hit.
Within one year, Jim Carrey contributed two blockbusters with box office sales exceeding US$200 million, which further solidified his status as Hollywood's leading comedian.
And Xiang Nan, who discovered and built him single-handedly, has become more and more famous as a wise-eyed Bole.
You know, Jim Carrey was just playing small roles on TV. Although his performance was funny, no one cared.
After all, there are so many comedy talents in the United States, including talk comedians, stage actors, variety show actors... Just look around and there are a lot of them.
Only Xiang Nan saw his potential, selected him, and promoted him to star in "Ghostbusters", "Spring Isn't a Day to Study", "Extreme Spirit", "Detective Plane Head", "Emergency Stalking Order", "Reverse" "Fighting the Condor" and so on, which made him popular step by step, and he is now as popular as he is today.
Therefore, more and more people are eager to cooperate with Xiang Nan, hoping that they can become famous like Jim Carrey.
Although Claudia Schiffer doesn't have much screen time in the film, the total screen time is probably less than half an hour. But she completed the role very well without making anyone feel like she was in a drama, so she was recognized by the industry.
Her popularity and visibility have also increased significantly due to the success of this movie. Therefore, she got more catwalk opportunities in the spring fashion shows, and even the price tag increased a lot.
And the industry predicts that if she can gain a foothold in Hollywood, blue-blood luxury brands will ask her to be their spokesperson.
Because of this, Claudia Schiffer wanted to hug Xiang Nan's body even more tightly.
After all, only he can give her a foothold in Hollywood.
