Compared to the first three films, in this movie, Ethan faces a more dangerous situation. Several actions encounter setbacks, and even his leader is killed in the line of duty. He himself was also being hunted by Russian agents, and the situation was extremely critical, so the audience was worried all the time while watching it.
Especially in the movie, the thrilling scene of Xiang Nan climbing with bare hands on a tall building and leaping into the sky vividly demonstrates the word "death-defying".
Therefore, "Mission: Impossible 4" naturally has a huge reputation. In the end, the film's box office in North America was US$270 million, and its global box office was nearly US$700 million.
The success of "Mission: Impossible 4" made Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg and Patricia Velasquez popular.
In addition, although Alessandra Ambrosio's appearance time was short, her role as a killer was beautiful and cool, and she was completely a femme fatale. She was quite touching, and she also won the love of many viewers.
This greatly increased her popularity, and as a result, she successfully became one of the world's top models. The cost of her catwalks more than tripled. Seeing this, more and more models hope to enter the film and television industry, and Xiang Nan has become their priority partner.

In August, "The Defenders 2" was released. This superhero comic film has already established a good audience base with its previous films.
Therefore, it is already highly anticipated even before its release. Now that it is released, it will naturally be a big hit at the box office. In the end, the North American box office was US$250 million and the global box office was nearly US$800 million. Compared with the investment of US$150 million, these are very good results.
In September, "Night at the Museum" was released.
This movie tells the story of a certain museum. After entering late at night, the exhibits in the museum will come to life...
The film stars Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Robin Williams.
Ben Stiller has grown into Hollywood's most outstanding comedy star with the success of the "Meet the Father-in-law" series. "Wedding Crashers" starring Owen Wilson also took in $400 million at the global box office.
Robin Williams is a well-known veteran actor, starring in "Dead Poets Society", "Jumanji", "Captain Hook", "Good Will Hunting", etc., all of which have received critical acclaim and box office success.

The film received unanimous praise from all media and audiences.
"'Night at the Museum' is undoubtedly a film suitable for all ages. In the film, the audience can see countless fantastic landscapes, touch 'history' up close, and travel across continents and up and down several continents in just a few inches. Human civilization for thousands of years (or even billions of years)..." commented the New York Times.
"The most brilliant movement of the film is the resurrection of the museum's exhibits at night. At that time, the audience seems to have traveled through a tunnel of time and entered a wonderful world that combines history, legends, fairy tales, and nature. At this time, the museum becomes A microscopic world has become a condensed history of human civilization." The Los Angeles Times commented.

…
In August, filming of "Fast and Furious 3" was completed.
Xiang Nan then returned to Xiangjiang and met with Shanshan and Wang Jing.
Nowadays, whether ATV or Zhen Kung Fu, the development focus is on the mainland, which has also led to a decline in the ratings of ATV in Hong Kong.
However, in terms of income, there has been an increase. Last year, ATV's revenue was HK$2 billion. Although the ratings dropped this year, its revenue has increased to HK$2.5 billion.
Part of the revenue comes from the copyright revenue of YouTube Xiangjiang Station, and part of it comes from the revenue from mainland TV dramas and variety shows.
Of the fifteen films produced by Zhen Kung Fu Pictures last year, seven were produced by mainland companies, such as "Kill Two Birds with One Stone", "Lovers' Robbery", "The Head", "Beauty Is Still" and so on.
Although the reputation is not satisfactory, the box office is still good.
Xiang Nan also knows that mainland movies have only been commercialized for a few years, and neither the director nor the screenwriter has much experience in making commercial films. I neither know how to write a script nor how to film.
The directors in Xiangjiang also did not understand the local customs, systems and policies of the mainland, so they were constrained when filming, and it was difficult to perform, so it was bound to take a while.
So he wasn't angry about it, but he still reminded Wang Jing to pay attention to the quality of his movies in the future and not to make bad movies all the time.
After all, once the audience develops the concept that "domestic films equal bad films", it will be difficult for domestic films to turn around in the future.
…
After meeting Wang Jing and Shanshan, Xiang Nan then made an appointment with Gao Yuanyuan, who was filming "Baby Project" in Hong Kong.
Gao Yuanyuan was born in 1979. She debuted as an advertising model in 1996 and starred in her first movie "Love Malatang" in 1997. In 2003, she starred in "The Heaven and the Dragon Sword" starring Su Youpeng and Jia Jingwen, which became a hit, and she became famous for it.
Last year, she starred with Huo Jianhua, Li Yapeng and others in the martial arts drama "The Best in the World" directed by Wang Jing. This drama has achieved good ratings in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Taiwan. Therefore, Gao Yuanyuan was favored by the director of Hong Kong and was invited to star in "Baby Project".
Xiang Nan was deeply impressed by Gao Yuanyuan. Her street photos were all very beautiful and she was known as the "Otaku Goddess". In addition, she has starred in film and television dramas such as "Let's Get Married" and "Singles", and the quality is also very good.
"Miss Gao, you are more beautiful in person than on TV." After meeting, Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Ning." Gao Yuanyuan said somewhat cautiously when he saw Xiang Nan.
"Don't be nervous, we are all from Yanjing, we are fellow villagers." Xiang Nan said with a smile in Yanjing dialect.
Gao Yuanyuan felt a little relaxed after hearing this.
It is true that she and Xiang Nan are both from Yanjing, but she dare not share the same hometown with Xiang Nan. After all, the gap between them is really quite big.
One is a big boss in Hollywood, and the other is an artist at the bottom of the entertainment industry. There is a huge difference.
