In January, Xiang Nan took his wife home to celebrate the New Year with his father as usual.
It can be seen that after the death of his wife, the old man's energy has become worse year by year, which also makes Xiang Nan faintly worried about him.
In January, Universal Pictures also released "Fantastic Beasts," the previous film in the "Harry Potter" series, telling the story of what happened in the wizarding world during World War II.
Because of the popularity of the "Harry Potter" series, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" immediately received support from countless fans as soon as it came out. The box office exceeded 100 million US dollars on the first day, which is really enviable.
The quality of this movie also meets the expectations of movie fans.
The cute magical animals, the twists and turns of the story, the refreshing magic, and the strong retro temperament all make this movie entertaining and exciting, so the audience naturally supports it very much.
In the end, the North American box office was US$230 million, and the global box office was as high as US$810 million. Although this result is not as good as the "Harry Potter" series, it is still quite good.
The success of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" has also made Hollywood colleagues jealous.
The previous "Harry Potter" series was so overwhelming that they could hardly wait until it was finished, but they didn't expect that "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" would come out now.
It is true that forever and ever will come to an end, and this hatred lasts forever.
The popularity of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" has made many leading actors and actresses famous. Even Mads Mikkelsen, who plays the villain boss, and Penn Badgley, who plays Obscurus, have become famous.

In February, "Gone Girl" was released.
Starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike, the film tells the story of a couple who fall in love and commit suicide, exposing the dark side of marriage.
The essence of marriage is never love, but a combination of interests, full of lies, deception and harm. It will definitely make the audience who want to watch a heartwarming and romantic movie on Valentine's Day break into cold sweats and think deeply about it.
Sure enough, after the film was released, it was well received by the industry. It is chilling to think that it will thoroughly analyze the essence of marriage.
The media even commented that this movie is "the movie most likely to cause breakups" and strongly recommends that male and female friends who are in love should never watch this movie in the theater.
But the more so, the more interested the audience will be.
Therefore, "Gone Girl", a movie that is most likely to lead to breakups, should not have been released during the Valentine's Day period, but its box office has led many romantic films and achieved quite impressive results.
The final North American box office was US$150 million, and the global box office was close to US$400 million. A movie that is least suitable for release on Valentine's Day has become the biggest dark horse of Valentine's Day.
Rosamund Pike has been in the industry for so many years and has made commercial films and artistic films. There are some good films and some bad films, but most of them are not popular.
Only this "Gone Girl" made the public truly remember her.

In March, Oscars season arrives.
"Gravity," released by Universal Pictures last year, is the favorite to win this year's Oscars.
But there is another movie that is also very popular, and that is "Birdman" starring Michael Keaton.
Xiang Nan was not sure whether "Gravity" would win the award, but he still went with Cong Shan. After all, the Oscar judges still have to give face.
"Mr. Charles, who do you prefer to win the Best Picture Award, Birdman or Gravity?" the host asked.
"To be honest, I prefer "Gravity" to win the award." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But I know that the movie "Birdman" is indeed good, so it's up to God to make the decision."
Then the awards ceremony was officially held. "Gravity" won five awards including Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects, and Best Sound Editing. The results were gratifying. Although "Birdman" was also shortlisted for these awards, it only won the award for Best Original Screenplay.
Then came the achievement award session. Both "Gravity" and "Birdman" were shortlisted for multiple awards. In addition, masterpieces such as "Punch Drummer", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", "The Imitation Game", and "Still Alice" are also competing, so the trend is simply intensifying.
In the end, "Gravity" won the Best Director Award and the Best Picture Award, but lost the Best Actress Award. "Birdman" missed out on the Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor. Award, becoming the most regrettable loser of this Oscar.
"Gravity" won the Best Picture Award, and Xiang Nan was able to stand on the podium again.
"Thank you all the judges for your support, thank you all the fans for your support. It's been a long time since I've been on stage to receive an award. I'm really happy to get this award." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Thank you to the director, thank you to Jennifer, and thank you to everyone who participated in the production. , thank you all for your hard work.
Special thanks go to my wife Cong Shan. When I failed to win the award several times before, she always comforted me. Now I finally won the award, thank you for your continued support. "
At this time, the camera was also focused on Cong Shan, making her feel a little embarrassed.
…
After the award ceremony, as usual, people came to compete for roles.
After all, there are too many people in Hollywood. If you don't fight for it, just hope that the pie will fall from the sky, which is really a good idea.
Universal Pictures' projects have always won both word-of-mouth and box office success, so they are the most favored and the most competitive.
However, Xiang Nan had already made up his mind and would not give the opportunity to anyone just because he offered a few words of flattery and recommended himself.
He is preparing to replace the Bond girls in "Spectre". The original Bond girls were Léa Seydoux and Monica Bellucci.
But Léa Seydoux has already appeared in "007: Skyfall", and although Monica Bellucci was once known as a star, she is already 51 years old this year. The flowering period has long passed and they are no longer as beautiful as before, so they both have to be replaced.
Xiang Nan is considering replacing her with Anne Hathaway and Blake Lively. One is 32 years old and the other is 28 years old. They have the purity of a girl and the lusty beauty of a schoolgirl. It is the time when a woman is most mature, most beautiful and most touching.
In addition, Nebula in "Guardians of the Galaxy" will no longer be played by Karen Gillan. On the one hand, her acting is a waste of talent, on the other hand, she also has to act in "Jumanji: The Jungle", which is not scheduled.
Xiang Nan was considered to be played by Kate Mara.
She has previously starred in many movies, such as "Brokeback Mountain", "Sniper", "Stone of Destiny", "Transcendence", etc., and finally became famous for her role as the female reporter Zoe in "House of Cards".
Her acting skills and reputation are both good, so she is a suitable candidate.
