In February, the movie released was the movie "Beauty" starring Charlize Theron.
Charlize Theron was born in 1975 and started working as a model before pursuing an acting career. However, her acting career was not smooth, and she could only play small roles at first. It was not until 2000's "The Dive" that she came to the fore.
This "Beautiful Agent" is also a comedy. It tells the story of a female detective who is forced to change her past tomboy image and enter the beauty pageant after learning that criminals are planning to detonate a bomb at the Miss America pageant. The story of an undercover agent.
In this movie, the heroine completes the transformation from a tomboy to a beautiful beauty. Charlize Theron is a model, and she doesn't mind looking ugly or rude.
In "The Devil Wears Prada", she did not hesitate to shave off her eyebrows, wear dentures, add age spots, and even gain thirty pounds to play the role of the serial killer.
Therefore, she completed this role very well, no worse than the original Sandra Bullock. Her natural and unpretentious performance has also won unanimous praise from the industry.
In addition, this is a female-led movie, and the heroine played by Charlize Theron is truly worthy of the name and is not a vassal of any male protagonist. And its theme also advocates women's self-reliance and self-reliance.
All beauty pageants have always been treated in a different light. It seems that the beauty pageants are all Barbie dolls with beautiful appearance and empty minds.
However, this "Secret Agent Beauty" completely subverts this concept. The beauties are not empty-headed, they only know how to flirt and vie for the limelight. They can also be sad, grieve, support each other, and are also living people. It’s the organizers who are the real bad guys, making all kinds of rules to consume women.
Therefore, after the film was released, it was very popular among female audiences. In the end, the North American box office revenue was US$80 million, and the global box office reached US$150 million.
For a movie with a female protagonist, this movie can be said to be quite successful.

At the end of February, Xiang Nan returned to Hollywood to prepare for the new year's filming plan.
Projects for the new year include "Men in Black 2", "The Last Day", "The Wolverine", "Daredevil 2", "Signs", "The Fast and the Furious", "Tomb Raider", "007: Die Another Day," "The Impostor," and "Pirates of the Caribbean."
"Men in Black 2" and "Daredevil 2" both used the original cast, but only changed the heroine and villain. "The Last Day" is a rogue-themed movie, a remake of the original work of the same name from the 1960s; "The Wolverine" is a spin-off of "X-Men", telling the origin of the hero Wolverine.
On the one hand, it allows the audience to understand this character better, and on the other hand, it also expands the "X-Men" universe by introducing the villains Sabretooth Tiger, General Stryker, as well as Deadpool, Ghost, Meatball, Agent Zero, Gambit and many other superheroes.
"Signs" is a suspenseful science fiction film that tells the story of a crop circle that suddenly appears on a farm. There are different opinions on whether it is a prank, a sign of aliens, or a supernatural event. The protagonist searches for the truth behind the scenes, and the final result is surprising.
"Tomb Raider" is a movie adapted from the game. Its protagonist, Lara Croft, was once the most beautiful woman in the gaming industry and was deeply loved by players.
And she is not only beautiful, but more importantly, she is agile, knowledgeable, bold, careful, and intelligent. With her own strength, she has adventured around the world and explored many unsolved mysteries.
This movie is Angelina Jolie's masterpiece, and it was with this movie that she became a popular actress in Hollywood and entered the 20 million club.
But Xiang Nan is not ready to use her anymore.
On the one hand, he and Angelina have been together for five years. No matter how beautiful a woman is, five years is enough; on the other hand, Angelina's salary is too high, and it is no longer cost-effective to hire her.
Compared with famous artists, he prefers to use less well-known newcomers, which saves money and is easier to control.
After careful consideration, he decided to use Scarlett Johansson.
Scarlett was born in 1984 and has already debuted in 1994. Because of her sweet and charming appearance, she is very popular in the industry.
Just like Mckenna Grace, she is beautiful and cute, so every time Hollywood uses a female child star, she will be the first to think of her.
And although Scarlett is young, her acting skills are very good. She has been nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Actress, the Box Office Bomb Award for Best Supporting Actress, and many Stars of Hope. In the future, she will also win the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival for her role in "Lost in Translation".
In addition, although she debuted as a child star, her appearance has not changed since she grew up, and she is still beautiful and charming. This also made her transition from a child star to an adult movie star smoothly.
Unlike some child stars, their appearance when they grow up is completely different from what they looked like when they were young. Therefore, they were very popular when they were young, but become outdated when they grow up.
Under such conditions, if you look at it from left to right, it is very suitable to play Lara Croft. She is beautiful and sassy, and the salary is low, making her much more suitable than Angelina Jolie.

The "Fast and Furious" series of movies was originally a crime action movie in the early days. It tells the story of a detective tracking a car robbery, misunderstandings with Boss Tang, and ultimately punishing the criminals together.
Starting from the sixth film, this series of movies began to become magical. The protagonist drives a car and flies to the sky and escapes, even Newton's coffin board can't hold it down.
Xiang Nan plans to star in the movie himself, playing the role of Boss Tang.
On the one hand, with the popularization of special effects technology, the market for boxing and kung fu movies will become increasingly narrow in the future. In the next twenty years, almost no pure action film will be able to enter the top ten of Hollywood's annual box office rankings.
Xiang Nan needs a movie to maintain his popularity, and the "Fast and Furious" series is just right.
On the one hand, it is said that Vin Diesel is not easy to get along with and dominates the crew, causing everyone on the crew to dislike him. Therefore, instead of using him, Xiang Nan would be better off going into battle himself. While saving production costs, it can also increase box office appeal.
…
"007: Die Another Day" is the sequel to the 007 series.
This is the first time Xiang Nan has started shooting a 007 movie after acquiring MGM.
007 is played by Pierce Brosnan, and Xiang Nan thinks he is the most handsome 007 he has ever seen. He is always suave, handsome, wise and courageous, but without losing his sense of humor.
Xiang Nan didn't want to change the choice of Bond girl. Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike were just right. But the story needs to be fine-tuned. After all, Xiang Nan doesn't want to offend anyone.
When this movie was released, it caused quite a stir, and Xiang Nan didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
