In September, Xiang Nan made an appointment with Anne Hathaway for coffee.
Anne Hathaway was born in 1982. She is currently studying at Vassar College, a prestigious American school, majoring in English and minoring in women's studies. When she was in school, she loved drama performances very much. She starred in the stage play "Golden Dust World" and also won a Rising Star Award, which is used to reward outstanding newcomers.
In 1999, she officially entered the film and television industry and starred in her debut film, an American drama with a family comedy theme, "The Greens".
Although the series had a good reputation, it unfortunately had poor ratings and was eventually canceled after only one season. However, Anne Hathaway was nominated for the second Teen Choice Award for Best Television Actress for her performance in this series, which also made her initially famous in the industry.
"Princess Diaries" is her second movie. For her, this movie with an investment of 30 million US dollars and written by Xiang Nan himself is undoubtedly a big pie from heaven.
In fact, she never expected to star in Xiang Nan's movie. After all, there are too many girls like her in Hollywood, and she doesn't even expect to reach the top in one fell swoop.
I just hope that I will keep my feet on the ground, develop step by step, and grow into an actor like Meryl Streep and Susan Sarandon in the future.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan actually selected her to be the heroine of "Princess Diaries", which made her famous overnight and quickly became the most anticipated new star in Hollywood.
Therefore, she has felt as if she was in a dream for the past few months, which was somewhat unreal.
When she saw Xiang Nan in front of her today, she felt it was even more unreal, so by some mistake, she reached out her hand and touched Xiang Nan.
…
Xiang Nan was stunned. He hadn't even taken action yet, but someone had taken advantage of him.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Anne Hathaway sneer and say, "I'm not dreaming, it's actually true."
"Why, do you think you are dreaming?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile, "Am I that unreal?"
"No, of course not." Annie waved her hands quickly, "I just didn't expect that one day, I would sit with you."
"To be honest, I didn't expect it either." Xiang Nan smiled.
If he hadn't traveled to this world and achieved so much in advance, it would have been impossible for him to have dinner with Anne Hathaway.
"Mr. Charles, I haven't thanked you yet for letting me star in "The Princess Diaries." Anne said respectfully, "This is really an honor for me. Thank you so much."
"You're welcome. It's only because you are suitable for this role that I will arrange for you to play." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "The one you have to thank should be yourself."
"No, no, without your support, no matter how suitable I am, I won't have a chance." Annie waved her hands repeatedly.
There are so many actors suitable for the roles of "The Princess Diaries", and she knows countless of them. Many of them are prettier and more famous than her.
It can be said that if it weren't for Xiang Nan's appointment, this role would never have been hers.
"You know it's a good thing to be grateful. I also like people who know how to be grateful." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
Many celebrities in the entertainment industry are ungrateful. They think that they can become popular solely due to their own strength. Therefore, as soon as he became popular, he immediately began to become arrogant and arrogant.
Seeing Xiang Nan say this, Annie smiled even sweeter.
"If you perform well, I will arrange for you to star in good movies in the future." Xiang Nan added.
"Okay, I will definitely satisfy you." Annie nodded immediately.
She knew that "Princess Diaries" could only make her famous for a while, but it could not make her reap dividends for a lifetime. If she wants to remain popular, she must continue to produce new and good works.
The most outstanding producer in Hollywood is Xiang Nan, and no movie he produces is a hit. Therefore, she is looking forward to working with Xiang Nan again.
…
In the following September and October, Universal Pictures released "Collision" and "The Trap" one after another.
"The Great Collision" and "The Great Disaster" both tell the story of an asteroid impacting the earth and humans being forced to save themselves. However, although the stories are similar, the styles are quite different.
"The End of the World" is a work by Michael Bay. It has a fiery and exciting style that makes the audience almost breathless. My blood is pumping, my hormones are soaring, and I'm hooked.
"Collision" is the work of Mimi Ryder. She is a female director, so the style of this film is more delicate and realistic.
In this movie, the impact of planets on the earth is not the focus. The focus is on the reactions of people from all walks of life under the disaster, which reflects the good and evil of human nature, bravery and cowardice, true love and falsehood, steadfastness and betrayal, dedication and demands.
Therefore, this movie has a global box office of 350 million US dollars. Although it is not as good as "The Last Day", it is more memorable.
…
"The Trap" is an action film starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sean Connery. It tells the story of a pair of male and female thieves who took advantage of the brief computer downtime of the millennium to rob the World Bank.
This commercial film combines many commercial elements such as treasure theft, cops and robbers, fighting, chasing, etc., coupled with the latest concept of "Millennium Bug", to form an extremely refreshing popcorn blockbuster.
Although Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sean Connery are 40 years apart in age, their love between young and old in the film is still very harmonious and a perfect match, which has also become a major selling point.
Therefore, in the end, the box office in North America was US$110 million, and the global box office was as high as US$250 million. Compared with the cost of 66 million US dollars, it can be said to be a great success.
…
In October, Xiang Nan finished filming "The Matrix 2" and then left for Hong Kong.
Before heading to Xiangjiang, he received good news from ATV.
After the unremitting efforts of ATV's management, the mainland finally agreed that ATV would launch in the Pearl River Delta through the Guangdong East Cable TV Company. As a result, ATV's audience increased by more than one million.
This is really great news for ATV. Therefore, everyone at ATV is very excited.
The wireless guy next door almost went crazy with greed when he saw this.
After all, the mainland market is much larger than that of Hong Kong. The population of 1.2 billion is hundreds of times that of Hong Kong, and the annual advertising cost reaches tens of billions of dollars.
After ATV lands in the Pearl River Delta, its annual advertising revenue is expected to reach more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Coupled with the local revenue in Xiangjiang, ATV's revenue and expenditure can become more balanced and even achieve profitability.
In this way, ATV will be more confident and its programs will be more sophisticated, which will lead to higher ratings. Sooner or later, ATV will surpass TVB and become the Napovan of Hong Kong TV.
Therefore, on the one hand, Wireless is actively preparing for the war, and on the other hand, it is also actively striving to settle in the mainland.
