Xiang Nan then made an appointment with Lan Yan to meet.
Lan Yan was born in 1986 and made her debut in 2005 in Kwan Kam-peng's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow". However, she officially became popular because of her starring role in "3D Futon" last year. With her breakthrough performance in that film, she went from being a little transparent to a high-profile star.
Xiang Nan only got to know her because of that movie.
To be honest, he thinks Lan Yan is really good. Not only is she beautiful and has a good figure, but her acting skills are also remarkable. Even the media commented that in the entire drama, only Lan Yan's acting skills were up to par, while the others' acting skills were not up to par.
"Hello, Miss Lan." Xiang Nan smiled at Lan Yan.
"Mr. Ning, it's an honor to meet you." Lan Yan was also very excited to see Xiang Nan.
"Actually, it's my honor." Xiang Nan smiled, "I've watched your 3D movie, and it was pretty good."
When Lan Yan heard this, his face immediately turned red and his expression became a little embarrassed.
"Don't feel embarrassed. Movies like yours are nothing in Hollywood." Seeing this, Xiang Nan persuaded with a smile, "Even Jennifer Connelly, Angelina Jolie, Scarlett... Johnson and Monica Bellucci have all made similar movies."
"Yes." After hearing what he said, Lan Yan's face became much better.
"And I have a saying, if the filming is good, it is good." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "In the whole movie, your performance is the most outstanding, and the others are just messing around."
"Thank you." Lan Yan nodded, very grateful to Xiang Nan for saying so.
"However, you must also know that after making this movie, people will look at you with colored glasses. So even though you have become famous, the road ahead will probably be difficult." Xiang Nan added.
Lan Yan remained silent, knowing that Xiang Nan's words were true.
Although she is now famous, after becoming famous, the film offers she was offered were all of that type of film. There are no good movies or TV series for her to star in.
Moreover, the media and colleagues will always say something that is not true, and it would be worse for her to have filmed this movie than not to have filmed it.
"I do have a solution." Xiang Nan smiled again.
"Please tell me." Lan Yan immediately looked at Xiang Nandao.
"In this way, you follow me to Hollywood to develop your career. When the time comes, you will be an international movie star when you come back. Those film and television companies in the mainland will definitely use you, believe it or not?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
When Lan Yan heard this, he nodded immediately.
Nowadays, the mainland film and television circles particularly believe that foreign moons are rounder. A-list celebrities are all trying their best to visit Hollywood blockbusters to catch up on others' popularity. Even if he had no lines or roles, he would brag about being an international movie star after he came back.
And those film and television companies are all taking advantage of them, so they just believe this. All "international movie stars" are offered high salaries and can choose their scripts at will.
Therefore, if she can really go to Hollywood, no one will dare to look down on her when she comes back.
"Okay, thank you." She said immediately, "But how should I repay you?"
"You are a smart person, so you shouldn't ask this question." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan waved his hands and smiled.
Lan Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Then which movie and role do you want me to play?"
"I have a new film called "Now You See Me"." Xiang Nan explained, "There is a female magician in it, and I think you can play it. How does your English speak?"
"It's okay." Lan Yan nodded.
"That's enough." Xiang Nan smiled, and then told the story of "The Shocking Thieves".
Lan Yan was very interested after hearing this. This female magician is the heroine in this film.
Being able to star in this movie and play such an important role is definitely a big breakthrough for her.
"Mr. Ning, I like this character very much. I hope you will support me more in the future." Lan Yan stood up and sat next to Xiang Nan.
"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to obey." Xiang Nan smiled.
…
At the end of February, Xiang Nan and Cong Shan returned to the United States.
At this time, Universal Pictures was still releasing "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1."
This is the fourth film in the "Twilight" series, which has been very popular since the first one was released. Especially the girls, they were obsessed with it.
First of all, the characters in the play are really beautiful, and there are almost no ugly ones. For female audiences, the acceptance level is naturally high; secondly, the love between Edward and Bella is sweet and sadistic, which also suits their appetite.
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" is the final film in the "Twilight Saga" series, and it has a different meaning to fans. Therefore, after its release, a large number of movie fans flocked to the theater to support it, making its first-day box office as high as 7 Twelve million dollars.
In the end, the North American box office was 220 million US dollars, and the global box office was 508 million US dollars. The results were quite good.
Such results made Fox Pictures and Disney Pictures almost so angry that they vomited blood.
In 2010, Fox Pictures launched the film "Percy Jackson and the Fire Thief", which was also adapted from children's fantasy literature. It used modern urban teenagers and ancient Greek mythology as its selling points, and its themes were similar to those of Harry Potter and Twilight. The city is very similar.
Moreover, the director hired Chris Columbus, the director of Harry Potter. As a result, this movie with an investment of over 100 million US dollars only received 88 million US dollars in box office in North America and only 200 million US dollars in global box office after its release. Twenty million dollars. Fox Studios lost about $50 million.
Disney Pictures was also unlucky. It produced "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" with a production cost of US$150 million, but the final global box office was only US$300 million. Disney Studios lost more than $80 million.
"The Twilight Saga", "Lord of the Rings", "The Hobbit", and "Harry Potter" released by Universal Pictures all have a fantasy theme and have teenagers as protagonists.
They lost all their money on "Percy Jackson" and "The Chronicles of Narnia", which is really depressing.
…
After returning to the United States, Xiang Nan easily selected the heroine Jane of "Thor" and the male and female protagonists of "The Hunger Games".
The heroine of "Thor", Jane, is played by Ashley Granny. She became popular for her role as the vampire Alice Cullen in "The Twilight Saga". In terms of appearance, figure and temperament, she is no better than Natalie. Portman is worse, but the salary is much less than her.
The male protagonist of "The Hunger Games" is still starring Josh Hutcherson. Although he is not very handsome, he does have rich acting experience. He has been filming since he was ten years old, and now he has "Journey to the Center of the Earth" , "Bridge to Wonderland" and other blockbuster movies.
The heroine was chosen to be Ashley Benson. The American drama "Pretty Little Liars" in which she starred was released 10 years ago and has become quite popular among young people. And the most beautiful among them, Ashley Benson, became famous and became the idol of countless teenagers.
Xiang Nan also feels that Ashley Benson suits his aesthetic point. She has blond hair, blue eyes, plump figure, and exquisite facial features. She is much more beautiful than Lawrence.
Moreover, because Ashley Benson is a TV actress, her salary is much lower than that of Lawrence. Overall, it is still a good deal.
