Rosamond was excited about the invitation.
As an actor, she is also eager to achieve a breakthrough in her career, but it is very difficult.
Because the competitive pressure in Hollywood is so great, without background and capital, it is difficult to compete with other people with background and capital.
For example, Gwyneth Paltrow is obviously not good at acting and not pretty, but because her father is a Hollywood producer, her mother is a big shot on Broadway, and her godfather is Spielberg, she almost walks sideways in Hollywood. , won the Academy Award for Best Actress before she was thirty.
Rosamond is also thirty-one years old. Let alone winning an Oscar, she has not even been nominated.
"Captain America" is a comic book movie with an investment of up to 90 million US dollars. It is one of Universal Pictures' most important projects this year.
In addition, comic book movies have become very popular in recent years, and the people who star in them are all very popular, so she also hopes that this movie can reverse her situation of being half-famous but not popular.
…
"Rosa, time really flies by. When I saw you, I was still filming "007: Die Another Day." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "It's almost ten years now."
"Yes, Mr. Charles." Rosamond nodded, "It's a pity that we didn't collaborate again after that movie. It's really a pity."
She later participated in auditions for many movies such as "Underworld", "2 Fast and the Furious", "The Rescue", "The Wolverine", etc., but unfortunately she failed and missed many opportunities to become popular.
"It doesn't matter, you will do well in this "Captain America"." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "If the response is good, we will develop an American TV series with you as the protagonist in the future."
"Okay, thank you." Rosamond smiled.
…
Although "Avatar" was a favorite at this year's Oscars, in the end both Best Picture and Best Director went to Kathryn Bigelow.
And this Catherine is one of Cameron's ex-wives.
Speaking of which, Cameron is pretty cool and has been married five times in his life.
…
After the Oscars, Xiang Nan took the time to prepare for "Fast and Furious 5".
In this film, Boss Tang will clear his name and help the US government arrest the mercenary criminal group.
It is also from this film that Boss Tang's gang gradually becomes superhuman.
In fact, when they first started, they were engaged in illegal racing and secretly transporting trucks. In the first part, when faced with provocation by the South Vietnamese gang, he would even take the initiative to retreat.
But now, they dare to confront international mercenaries head-on. It has to be said that it is really a shotgun exchange for a cannon.
But there's nothing we can do about it. After the accumulation of previous films, the audience's appetite has grown. Just playing street racing and fighting against drug dealers, gangsters, and gang members can no longer satisfy the audience's appetite.
Just like eating chili peppers, once you get used to a certain level of spiciness, you can only enjoy it by eating spicier chili peppers.
That's why the stories in the "Fast and Furious" series are becoming more and more exaggerated. From dealing with the South Vietnamese gang at the beginning, to dealing with drug lords, mercenaries, top hackers... and then even flying into space.
…
"Fast and Furious 5" is still a collection of familiar faces. In addition to Jon Dawson and Steiner Cadick from the fourth film, Maggie Q, who died in "Fast and Furious 3", will also appear.
After receiving the invitation, they were happy to return.
The "Fast and Furious" series is obviously becoming more and more popular now. They can get a good salary and great exposure by starring in this film. For them, it is a good thing, so naturally they will not reject.
So in April, the filming of "Fast and Furious 5" officially started.
At the same time, Cong Shan also returned to the mainland to participate in the filming of "Hawthorn Tree Love".
…
Entering April, Universal Pictures released the sports inspirational movie "The Weakness" starring Winona Ryder, Lily Collins and Quinton Aaron.
This film tells the story of Oher, an African-American boy who was originally a street child. After being adopted by Mrs. Taosi, with the warmth and encouragement of his family, he developed his sports talents and eventually became a professional football player.
This movie is adapted from a true story and is full of inspirational and heartwarming elements, so it has been very popular since its release. This also made the film a box office hit.
In the end, the North American box office reached US$250 million, and the global box office exceeded US$400 million. The total cost of this movie was only $29 million.
A movie that earns twelve times its cost at the box office is definitely a box office miracle. Seeing that the movie was such a hit, other film companies couldn't help but turn jealous.
If they had known this movie was such a hit, they should have invested in it earlier. It’s so depressing!
…
In May, Universal Pictures released the R-rated comedy "The Hangover."
It tells the story of several bad friends who brought their soon-to-be-married friends to Las Vegas to celebrate their last single weekend. Unexpectedly, after a night of partying, the groom disappeared and a tiger and a baby under one year old were found in the room for no reason. .
Therefore, when looking for the groom, they could only follow the clues and search step by step. During the process, they constantly uncovered the truth about their carnival that night...
This is a large-scale comedy film, full of pornographic scenes and erotic jokes. But the more so, the more popular it becomes with the audience.
After all, food and sex are good, and this type of movie is inherently popular.
Coupled with the three leading actors Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Garriffe, etc., the comedy skills are all very good, and there are a lot of sparks when working together.
Many of the jokes weren't that funny originally, but with their interpretations, they made the audience burst into laughter, so it naturally sold well at the box office.
In the end, the film took in a box office of US$270 million in North America and a global box office of US$450 million. The cost of this movie is only 35 million US dollars, and it is another masterpiece that is both small and big.
Universal Pictures has successfully secured two low-cost, high-yield films in succession, which not only makes its peers extremely envious, but also makes investors confident in it.
As a result, Universal Pictures' stock price soared, reaching a high of $150 billion. Such results can be said to be quite good.
Entering June, the movie released is "The Twilight Saga 2".
This film was originally supposed to be released on Valentine's Day, but because "Avatar" was so popular, it had to be postponed to the summer release, which also made "Twilight" fans frustrated.
But now, once it is released, fans' long-suppressed expectations are instantly disappointed. Therefore, on the first day of release, it has already earned more than 80 million US dollars at the box office, which is quite incredible.
The final North American box office was US$290 million, and the global box office reached US$700 million. And its cost is only $50 million.
