After staying in Xiangjiang for half a month, Xiang Nan immediately returned to Los Angeles with his family and officially decided on the actor who would play Spider-Man - Tobey Maguire.
Tobey Maguire made his debut in 1975. In the more than ten years since his debut, he has starred in several film and television dramas, but has basically not made much progress, and is far worse than his good friend Leonardo DiCaprio.
The reason for this has a lot to do with his appearance. Tobey Maguire looks a bit ordinary, not handsome and a bit baby-faced, which greatly limits his development. Unlike Leonardo, who is so handsome, his face alone is enough to attract audiences to the theater.
However, his ordinary appearance is very helpful for him to play Spider-Man.
Because the role of Spider-Man is [your good neighbor]. Since he is a neighbor, he is naturally not too handsome, he just has an ordinary face that everyone likes to see.
And Tobey Maguire's childishness also makes this character more relatable. Therefore, he is a very suitable candidate.
Although, Xiang Nan has also heard that after Tobey Maguire became popular with "Spider-Man", he was a little bloated. When filming "Spider-Man 3", he had a very tense relationship with the film company and director. , so much so that the planned "Spider-Man 4" was not filmed.
But Xiang Nan believed that he could convince him.
Because the original "Spider-Man" was released by Sony Pictures. At that time, Sony Pictures had almost no major hits except for the "Spider-Man" series, which was a hit. Therefore, Tobey Maguire dared to bully customers.
But Universal Pictures is different. With Xiang Nan here, it has no shortage of blockbuster movies. Moreover, he can always make new people popular, so he is not threatened by artists at all.
In addition, he not only has the support of the film company, but also the Internet platform. If you dare to challenge him, you will face the risk of being eliminated. By then, not only will Universal Pictures stop using him, but all of Hollywood will close the door on him.
And not only does your career decline, but your reputation may also be ruined. Just like Michael Jackson, he was such a good person, almost impeccable, but in the end he was constantly smeared and spread rumors, and the injustice was finally settled after his death.
So Xiang Nan is not afraid of using Tobey Maguire.
…
Back in Hollywood, Universal Pictures is releasing the movie "The Impostor" starring Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston.
Jim Carrey has already become the number one comedy star in Hollywood with films such as "The Man in Disguise", "Planet", "The Truman Show", and "Dumb and Dumber". Not only is he famous, but he also has box office appeal. amazing.
As for Jennifer Aniston, she has already become a household name in the United States with the popularity of "Friends" and is known as the successor of America's sweetheart.
Both of them are good at comedy and are very popular in this area. In addition, the script of "Fake God" is so good, so it received very good reputation and box office after its release.
In the end, the North American box office took in US$250 million, and the global box office was close to US$500 million. For a movie with an investment of only 80 million US dollars, this result can be said to be quite good.
…
March is here, and it’s Oscar season.
During this year's awards season, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is the favorite to win the technical awards, and "A Beautiful Mind" is the favorite for the achievement award.
On the red carpet at the Oscars, Xiang Nan made an appointment with Scarlett Johansson to walk the red carpet with him.
Scarlett just starred in Universal Pictures' fantasy action film "Tomb Raider" last year. At present, the film has been produced and is being scheduled for release.
Xiang Nan invited Scarlett to walk on the red carpet together, hoping to bring some popularity to her. After all, before this, Scarlett was far from being a first-line movie star. She was just a bit famous, so she couldn't afford the box office.
Scarlett was also very excited to be able to walk the red carpet with Xiang Nan. After all, for an artist like her who has not yet become famous, a superstar like Xiang Nan is like a god-like existence.
And walking with him on the red carpet tonight will increase her popularity by at least a million. It was of great benefit to her, and she was naturally very happy.
"Mr. Charles, thank you for inviting me." Scarlett said gratefully.
"You're welcome, it's also for my own good." Xiang Nan smiled.
Being able to walk with Black Widow is also a great thing for him.
Scarlett Johansson looks even better in person than on the screen. With beautiful features and a proud figure, she is the representative of the new generation of sexy actresses.
Angelina Jolie has some advantages over Scarlett. After all, in terms of age alone, she is nine years older than Scarlett. For actresses, age is crucial.
No matter how beautiful an actress is, her appearance will decline significantly as she gets older.
For example, Sophie Marceau, Monica Bellucci, Winona Ryder, Jennifer Connelly... they were all top beauties at first, but after they turned thirty, their looks began to fade. Downhill.
Even with the best cosmetics and advanced medical beauty technology, it is difficult to restore their youth.
Xiang Nan has been in contact with them all, so he understands them clearly. So in terms of age alone, Scarlett has already won.
…
The awards ceremony will follow.
The first half is almost the home of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", which has won awards for Best Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound, and Best Art Direction.
The second half is the home of "Beautiful Mind".
Jennifer Connelly won the Best Supporting Actress award for her performance in the film. Tom Hanks won Best Actor, Ron Howard won Best Director, and in the end it even won Best Picture.
It's a pity that Xiang Nan withdrew from the selection for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award. Otherwise, as expected, he would have won another Best Screenplay trophy with this film.
"Mr. Charles, congratulations, you are so awesome." Scarlett said with admiration when she saw Xiang Nan killing everyone.
"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" and "A Beautiful Mind" are both his works, and now he has won so many awards, which is enough to prove his ability.
"I really hope to work with you again." Scarlett said again.
"There is a chance." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I have been preparing some movies recently. If you are interested, you can take a look together."
"Okay." Scarlett nodded.
Although she has already starred in "Tomb Raider", its box office success is still unknown. Even if she succeeds, it doesn't mean that she will be able to sit back and relax from now on.
She must persevere and continue to release blockbuster movies in order to maintain her status as a famous star. Otherwise, it will fall quickly.
After all, the competition in Hollywood is extremely cruel. There are many artists who become famous and fade out quickly. She doesn't want to be one of them.
