In April, Xiang Nan began to prepare for the filming of "Fast and Furious 6" to continue telling the story of Boss Tang.
In addition to the return of all the original cast, this film will also add a computer wizard. The Sky Eye she designed can link and control all cameras in the world, and can easily find anyone you want to find.
Of course, this is pure nonsense.
Xiang Nan chose Wang Keying to play this role. The Shockwave Girl she played in the American TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is a computer expert.
"Fast and Furious 6" then started filming.
However, not long after the movie started filming, Xiang Nan received bad news. His mother, Qi Aihong, was hospitalized for treatment due to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
After Xiang Nan received the news, he could only let the crew film other people's scenes, and then rushed back to the mainland with Cong Shan and Ning Jing.
Although the doctors worked very hard to save her, Qi Aihong was unable to save her and passed away suddenly, which is really heartbreaking.
For this reason, after Xiang Nan took care of his mother's funeral, he stayed with his father at home for half a month to help him feel at ease.
In May, Xiang Nancai returned to the crew and continued filming the movie.

In May, Universal Pictures released the movie "The Big Short."
This movie is joined by several stars such as Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Margot Robbie, Karen Gillan, etc. It can be said that the lineup is quite large. luxury.
It tells the story of four men with eccentric personalities who seized the opportunity to make a fortune during the subprime mortgage crisis. It reveals the reasons for the birth of the subprime mortgage crisis, reveals the true face of Wall Street's ruthlessness and greed, and also serves as a warning and warning to the world.
The subprime mortgage crisis broke out from 2007 to 2009. Although five years have passed, the U.S. economy has not yet fully recovered, and the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis is still there.
Especially those who suffered heavy losses in the subprime mortgage crisis, losing their houses, cars, jobs and even family members, still have not been able to return to their normal lives.
Therefore, "The Big Short" immediately caused a sensation when it was released. The final box office in North America was US$50 million and the global box office was US$140 million.
To be honest, this box office is not very good. Normally, I'm afraid these celebrities wouldn't even be able to earn back their salaries. But Universal Pictures still makes money.
Because when this movie was first put into production, with such a gorgeous star cast, sensitive subject matter, and a strong behind-the-scenes production team, it had already received a large amount of commercial sponsorship, which covered the cost of the movie.
So although the box office of US$140 million is not much, it is basically a pure profit for Universal Pictures.
What's more, the sales of such movies on DVD have always been good. Because this kind of in-depth movie is worthy of repeated review and chewing. Watching it once is not enough.
…
In June, Universal Pictures released "Iron Man 2," which tells the story of the grudges between Iron Man and Whiplash. In addition, another important hero in the Avengers, Iron Man's partner War Machine, also officially appeared.
In all honesty, the story of "Iron Man 2" is a bit cliché.
In Hollywood movies, when a hero is born, a hero with the same configuration and similar strength will appear immediately, but he is also an evil figure.
For example, Venom in "Spider-Man" has been possessed by Spider-Man, so all his abilities are copied from Spider-Man's, and his strength has been enhanced;
There is the Red Skull in "Captain America", who was also injected with the super soldier serum, which stimulated the evil in his body and became more cold and ruthless;
There is Abomination in "The Hulk", who was also injected with the super soldier serum variant and received gamma radiation, becoming more ferocious and powerful than the Hulk...
Therefore, there is a villain in "Iron Man 2" who is as smart as Iron Man and has the same Ark-making technology. In fact, it is really cliché and not as amazing as the first "Iron Man".
It's just that the Marvel Universe movies don't win by virtue of their story. The story is just one aspect, and more viewers watch it just for the fun of it.
As long as the special effects are enough, the scenes are enough, the climax is enough, and the story is smoother and not too stupid, it will be worth the price of admission. Therefore, "Iron Man 2" ultimately invested US$200 million and earned US$620 million at the box office.
Coupled with the costs of DVDs, online streaming media, peripheral product development, and advertising sponsorships, Universal Pictures will earn at least several hundred million dollars.
The box office success of "Iron Man 2" also allowed Gal Gadot's Black Widow to win the hearts of countless movie fans, and she became an instant hit.
…
In July, "Mission: Impossible 6" was released, continuing to tell the story of Ethan Hunt's feud with the rebel spy organization Syndicate.
This time he not only has to deal with enemies from the outside, but also to uncover traitors within the organization. Therefore, the situation is more dangerous and the difficulty increases exponentially. Therefore, the plot is more twists and turns, the rhythm is tighter, and the story is naturally more exciting.
Moreover, during the filming, in order to strive for authenticity, Xiang Nan personally flew a helicopter and parachuted at an altitude of 1,000 meters. Such professionalism also moved the movie fans, so it is naturally very popular.
"Charles, when you were filming "Mission: Impossible 6", did you really learn how to fly a helicopter in order to make the filming more realistic?" Jimmy Fallon asked curiously.
Jimmy Fallon, also known as Fats, is the host of "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon." He is a comedian on "Saturday Night Live" and has developed his witty, humorous and cheerful hosting style, which is very popular with the audience.
In order to promote "Mission: Impossible 6", Xiang Nan specifically asked for leave from the crew of "Fast and Furious 6" for half a month of promotion. Being on a talk show is a great way to promote yourself.
Hearing Jimmy Fallon ask this, Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
There was a burst of applause from the audience.
It’s really amazing to learn how to fly a helicopter just to make a movie.
"I read the information. You learned to fly a helicopter in just one week and then got your helicopter pilot's license?" Jimmy Fallon said again, "As far as I know, it takes at least eight months for the average person to learn to fly a helicopter. "
Xiang Nan nodded again.
There was an exclamation in the audience.
"How did you do it? Have you learned to helicopter before?" Jimmy asked in confusion.
Xiang Nan shook his head, "No, this is my first time learning."
"Then how did you learn so fast? It's incredible." Jimmy asked in surprise.
"Maybe it's because my memory is better, so my learning ability is stronger." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Does your memory have a good memory? How good can it be?" Jimmy asked curiously.
"I can remember the license plate numbers of up to twenty cars at a glance," Xiang Nan said, "and I won't forget them within a day or two."
"Like Jason Bourne in "The Bourne Supremacy"?" Jimmy Fallon said immediately.
"Almost." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
