After Xiang Nan returned to Hollywood, he made an appointment with Emma Roberts for coffee.
He has already pushed three resources to Emma, "The Hunger Games," "Family" and "King Kong vs. Godzilla."
He is not Santa Claus, nor is he a Boy Scout who does good deeds every day. His efforts must be rewarded, and today it is time to collect some interest.
"Mr. Charles, you invited me here today. Do you have good news to tell me?" Emma Roberts asked with a smile when she saw Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, "I have good news for you. I am currently preparing to film "Ant-Man" and need a heroine, so I thought of you."
"The heroine of "Ant-Man"?! That's great, thank you Mr. Charles." When Emma heard this, she immediately said happily.
Although she usually doesn't like to read superhero comics, she has heard of Ant-Man and knows that he is a member of the Avengers. He can be big or small, and is very unique.
And such a superhero who can be both powerful and small would definitely be interesting to adapt. Like the classic 1990s movie, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, the most ordinary things seem to be giants in Ant-Man's eyes.
This kind of visual special effects is a good experience for the audience and must be interesting. By then, it will definitely become popular after it is released. And as a heroine, she will naturally benefit from it.
"Don't be too happy, you have to face a lot of competitors. Like Jennifer Lawrence, Emily VanCamp, Elizabeth Olsen, Karen Gillan, Amber Hill Both De and De also want to participate in this role. I can't be too unfavorable to one, do you understand?" Xiang Nan waved his hand.
When Emma Roberts heard this, she suddenly became anxious.
Jennifer Lawrence, Karen Gillan, Amber Heard and others all need to be famous, have acting skills, and have good looks...
These people were by no means inferior to her in terms of strength, so it was reasonable for Xiang Nan to choose them.
"Mr. Charles, what do you want me to do?" Emma Roberts asked immediately.
"It's not what I want you to do, it's what you want to do." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
Emma Roberts hesitated for a moment, "I want to discuss it with my aunt."
Xiang Nan nodded.
…
Xiang Nan didn't receive a reply that day, so he made an appointment with Karen Gillan.
Karen Gillan was born in 1987, debuted in 2006, and became famous for her role in "Doctor Who" in 2011, and is deeply loved by fans of the show.
After that, she received movie invitations one after another. She starred in "The Big Short" produced by Xiang Nan last year. But it was just a small role.
The role of Nebula in "Guardians of the Galaxy" was her first influential role.
But to be honest, that role was a bit of a waste of her talent. Because Nebula is half-human, half-machine with a bald head and a blue complexion, Karen Gillan's beauty cannot be shown at all.
"Mr. Charles, it's an honor to meet you." Karen stepped forward and smiled.
"You're welcome, please take a seat." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I invited you over today because I have a movie I want to collaborate with you on."
"Okay, please tell me." Karen Gillan was very interested.
The movies produced by Xiang Nan are both box office and word-of-mouth movies. Just like the last time she starred in "The Big Short", although the box office was not very high, its reputation was overwhelming and she was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture. It is really not simple. .
"The name of this movie is "Game of the Brave: Battle in the Jungle." Have you seen "Game of the Brave"?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"Sorry, no." Karen Gillan shook her head awkwardly. Although she is a film and television practitioner, she has not watched every movie.
"That movie is a classic, starring Robin Williams and Emma Stone. It grossed US$400 million at the box office that year and was the eighth highest-grossing movie in North America in 1998." Xiang Nan explained simply.
When Karen Gillan heard this, she was immediately in awe.
The movie in 1998 could get 400 million US dollars at the box office, so that movie was really a hit.
"This "Game of the Brave: Battle in the Jungle" is the reboot of the "Game of the Brave"." Xiang Nan smiled and then told the story in summary.
"Jumanji: The Jungle" was released 17 years ago and has grossed US$950 million at the box office, making it a box office hit.
Karen Gillan nodded repeatedly and felt that this story was really fresh and interesting.
It’s really fun for a group of people to travel through the game to fight monsters, upgrade, and complete tasks.
And the Iron Fist girl she plays is also very good. She is the only woman in the five-person team. She is sexy, beautiful, and good at fighting skills. She is not an empty vase that only knows how to scream and needs to be saved by men.
Therefore, she was happy to take up the role.
"Mr. Charles, thank you for your recognition. I am willing to take on this role, and I will definitely perform it well." Karen Gillan said sincerely.
"Very good." Xiang Nan nodded, very satisfied with her attitude, "But this role requires certain fighting skills, so you have to work harder in the next few months."
"Yes." Karen Gillan nodded.
…
At this moment, two men walked up and said respectfully, "Mr. Charles, we are reporters from Google News. We passed by by chance and saw you and Miss Karen Gillan together. Can we interview you?" please!"
"Okay, please sit down." Xiang Nan nodded and ordered two cups of coffee for them.
"Mr. Charles, are you drinking coffee with Miss Gillan because you are dating or because you have something to discuss?" the reporter asked with a smile.
"Of course I have something to talk about. I'm already married." Xiang Nan smiled.
"What is that about? Is it related to the new film?" the reporter asked curiously.
"Yes, it's a new film." Xiang Nan nodded, "I would like to invite Karen to play the heroine of my new film."
"Really?! Wow, congratulations to you, Miss Gillan." The reporter smiled.
"Mr. Charles, can you talk more about your new film?" the reporter asked again.
"I won't go into details. In short, it is a science fiction action blockbuster with an investment of nearly 100 million US dollars." Xiang Nan explained with a smile.
"Is it another superhero movie?" the reporter asked tentatively.
Xiang Nan just smiled and said no more.
When the reporter saw this, he had no choice but to stand up and leave.
Anyway, this news is pretty good.
…
Ten minutes later, Google News published the news that Xiang Nan invited Karen Gillan to star in his new film, and this news quickly became a hot search on Facebook, causing considerable discussion.
In the Internet age, information is so convenient.
Half an hour later, Xiang Nan received a call from Emma Roberts, "Mr. Charles, I'm waiting for you at the Hilton Hotel."
"No rush. I'll call you." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan smiled and then hung up the phone.
He also has a temper, he is not a licking dog who comes and goes when called upon.
