When Jackie Chan saw that Xiang Nan had arranged a new film project for himself, he couldn't help but be very moved.
"Mr. Ning, thank you, I thought you didn't need me anymore." He said to Xiang Nan.
"How could it be, Brother Long? You and I are both the pride of Chinese descent and a big banner in Hollywood. How could I abandon you?" Xiang Nan comforted him, "Not only will I continue to use you, but I will also Try to make you hotter.”
"Yes." Jackie Chan nodded moved, deeply regretting his previous complaints against Xiang Nan.
In addition to arranging for Jackie Chan to star, Xiang Nan also arranged for Owen Wilson to play his partner Roy.
Owen Wilson debuted in the 1990s, and later starred in "Meet the Father-in-law" and "The Wedding Crashers", both of which achieved great box office success. He is now an actor with considerable box office appeal in Hollywood.
Xiang Nan asked him to partner with Jackie Chan, who could not only boost the box office appeal, but also help Jackie Chan gain popularity, killing two birds with one stone.
In addition, Huang Shengyi is scheduled to star in Daqing Princess. With her good looks, she is quite convincing as the character Da Qingge who escapes from marriage.
…
In January, Xiang Nan took his family home to visit relatives as usual.
In January, Universal Pictures also released Matt Damon's action film "The Bourne Supremacy", which tells the story of Bourne's resolute resistance and search for the truth after being hunted.
Compared with the previous work, this one has a greater investment, the story is more twists and turns, and the suspense is high. Therefore, the box office performance is much better than the previous one.
In the end, the North American box office was US$180 million, and the global box office was nearly US$400 million, giving Universal Pictures a good start.
In February, Universal Pictures released "The Princess Diaries 2" starring Anne Hathaway. It tells the story of Princess Mia, who has to follow her ancestral precepts and find her right husband within thirty days in order to successfully inherit the throne.
The movie continues the relaxed and humorous style of the previous movie, and Anne Hathaway's acting skills have become increasingly outstanding after five years of accumulation.
Therefore, in the end, "Princess Diaries 2" did well at the box office, with a North American box office of US$50 million and a global box office of US$108 million, which is considered a blockbuster.
…
In the same month, after spending the Spring Festival with his family, Xiang Nan took his family to Xiangjiang.
At this time, Huang Shengyi had received an invitation from the crew of "Shanghai Noon", which made her very happy, so she came to express her gratitude to Xiang Nan.
"Don't rush to thank me." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "This time you go to Hollywood to film, it will test your acting skills, your adaptability, and your language skills. What is your English level? Can you have a conversation fluently? ?”
"Hmm..." Huang Shengyi hesitated for a moment.
"You'd better hire a tutor to polish your skills. After all, when you go to Hollywood to film, the crew will basically speak English. If your language skills are not strong, you won't understand what others say, and you won't understand what they say. Then you won't be able to stand in Hollywood." Xiang Nan reminded.
Chinese actors who want to develop in Hollywood must first pass the language barrier. If you can't pass this level, there's no need to mention development anymore.
Huang Shengyi nodded immediately.
…
Xiang Nan then made an appointment with Liang Luoshi for tea.
Liang Luoshi was born in 1988. In 2004, she participated in the Super Girl competition and won the first prize. Later, she was signed by an Asian record company and made her debut.
Because of her pure and sweet appearance, she became a popular girl idol after her debut and is still very popular in Hong Kong.
"Mr. Ning~" Liang Luoshi was a little cautious when he saw Xiang Nan.
"Don't be nervous. I invite you here today just for a simple chat." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Don't think of me as your boss, just think of me as an ordinary friend."
"I don't dare." Liang Luoshi waved his hands quickly.
She is now an artist under Asia Records, and she also has a film contract with Zhen Kung Fu Pictures, and both companies are owned by Xiang Nan, so she really doesn't have the courage to treat Xiang Nan as an ordinary friend.
Xiang Nan chuckled, but didn't force it, "I've been filming a few movies recently, and one of them, Daredevil 3, needs an Asian face. I think you're a good fit. Do you want to consider it?"
"Of course." Liang Luoshi nodded immediately after hearing this.
"Daredevil" stars Ben Affleck. In recent years, this movie has been released twice in a row, both of which have been very popular at the box office and even started a craze for comic book movies.
If she stars in this movie, she will be qualified to become an international movie star.
"Okay, that's it." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "However, you need to practice hard. Because in this movie, you have a lot of fighting scenes, and I hope you can perform well."
Liang Luoshi nodded after hearing this.
…
In March, Xiang Nan brought his people back to the United States and began preparations for "Fast and Furious 3."
He originally wanted to ask Gal Gadot to play the role of Gizelle, but unfortunately she had already enlisted in the army at this time and could not escape from the army to film, so Xiang Nan had to find someone else.
He then cast Alexandra Daddario. She was born in 1986 and debuted in 2001. She is a famous beauty in Hollywood. She is not only very beautiful, but also has an outstanding figure.
His bold performance in the American drama "True Detective" attracted countless attention. It's a pity that her acting skills are not very good, so she has not had any representative works since she debuted for many years. She only works as a screaming girl in small and medium-budget horror films, showing off her figure.
However, in "Fast and Furious 3", she played just a flower vase without much depth in the role. It is expected that with her acting skills, she should have no problem completing this role.
Alexandra Daddario was very happy when she learned the news that she had been successful in the competition. She immediately reported to the crew and learned fighting skills from Xiang Nan, Liang Luoshi and others to prepare for the next filming.
She plays Gizelle, an assistant to a drug lord who is proficient in firearms and fighting skills. Therefore, before the filming of the movie begins, she needs to undergo a period of training to at least appear to be smart and capable.
In the process of learning, the relationship between her, Liang Luoshi and Xiang Nan naturally improved by leaps and bounds.
On the one hand, it is due to Xiang Nan’s charm. He is a big star, a rich man, and a talented man. He is not ugly, not greasy, but very approachable, and has the charm of a mature man. Naturally, it is very attractive to little girls. is attractive.
On the one hand, practicing fighting skills inevitably involves physical contact and rubbing. If you rub it away, sparks will easily appear. Therefore, in ancient China, male masters rarely accepted female apprentices, and female masters rarely accepted male apprentices.
…
And in the midst of preparations, the Oscars are coming as scheduled.
At this year's awards ceremony, "King Kong" was shortlisted for a number of technical awards. It's a pity that "Brokeback Mountain" didn't come out in time. Otherwise, this movie would have been a hit.
