"Thank you, Mr. Ning, we will definitely try our best." Wang Zixuan and Sun Jiayu were very excited when they learned that they were selected to film in Hollywood.
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded, "This time it's just a small supporting role. If you work hard, I will consider letting you play the main role in the future."
He plans to arrange for Wang Zixuan to play the Chinese mecha designer in "Pacific Rim 2" and for Sun Jiayu to play the mutant Li Qianhuan in "X-Men: Apocalypse", both of which are not very important roles.
But for the two of them, it is already rare. After all, in the mainland entertainment industry, only top stars can develop in Hollywood.
Hearing what he said, the two of them were naturally happy.

In January, Universal Pictures released "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2."
Last year's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" grossed $810 million at the global box office. Not only was it a huge success, it also established ample popularity for the sequel.
Now "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2" is released, continuing to tell the story of what happened in the magical world during World War II.
In this play, the strength of the Dark Lord Grindelwald is further demonstrated, and what excites Harry Potter fans is that the Jude Law version of Dumbledore appears, satisfying their expectations of the young version of Dumbledore. All imagined.
In addition, this movie also shows more magical animals, and even the cursed human snake Nagini. In short, there are many fresh elements to attract audiences into the theater.
The story of this movie has also been rearranged by Xiang Nan.
After all, J.K. Rowling is not a politician. Although she tried her best to portray Grindelwald's cruelty, cunning, ambition and motivation, she still seemed to be inadequate. And the righteous Dumbledore also seemed a little too impetuous.
And Xiang Nan has really been exposed to politics. He inherited Ji Xiaolan's talents and knowledge, and was familiar with the Twenty-Four Histories, which is an ancient political history.
Moreover, in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", he also served as a national teacher and managed Luoyang City and Taoism all over the world. Therefore, he also has the opportunity to personally participate in politics.
So Xiang Nan knows much more about how to play politics than JK Rowling.
Because of this, Grindelwald is portrayed more like a conspiracy and careerist. The resistance of the righteous side also appears more logical and credible.
The story is much more beautiful and exciting than the original version. Naturally, it becomes more popular with the audience. In the end, the North American box office reached 260 million US dollars, and the global box office reached 930 million US dollars. It can be said to be quite successful.
…
In February, Universal Pictures released "Guardians of the Galaxy."
This is a team of very unreliable superheroes, but they do the most reliable things.
In particular, in order to save the universe, Star-Lord actually gave up his huge bonus and gave the gems to Xandar for free. It's really hard for him to do.
After all, he is an interstellar predator. He has always been a thief and always focuses on money.
The original "Guardians of the Galaxy" story was really a bit retarded. It’s really a pity that the big boss Ronan died in such a painful way.
This is also why "Guardians of the Galaxy" has been criticized.
Because Ronan the Accuser is a very powerful character in the comics, and he is not just a villain. On many occasions, he has stood side by side with the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Inhumans to fight against enemies from other dimensions.
Therefore, Xiang Nan didn't want to let him be danced to death, and he died in such a tortured and mentally retarded way.
So they arranged for him to be a fanatical patriot who was bewitched by Thanos and compete for the Power Stone just to expand the territory of the Kree. As a result, when he obtained the Power Stone, he was betrayed by Thanos and the agreement was broken.
When he finally woke up, he worked with the Guardians of the Galaxy to kill Thanos' Superstar, regained the Power Stone, and handed it over to Xandar for safekeeping. As a result, the Kree Empire and Xandar reached a peace agreement.
In this way, the plot will flow more smoothly and will not be too embarrassing. You know, when Xiang Nan first saw a boss as big as Ronan dying because of dancing, he was really blinded.
After "Guardians of the Galaxy" was released, its reputation was pretty good and the box office was naturally good. The final box office in North America was US$250 million and the global box office was US$780 million.
For a movie with an investment of US$170 million, this result is quite good.
…
In March, the Oscars take place.
"The Revenant" starring Leonardo DiCaprio has become a favorite at this year's Oscars. In addition, "Gone Girl" directed by David Fincher has also been nominated for the Best Actress Award.
Xiang Nan and Cong Shan went to play as usual, but unfortunately, only "The Revenant" won the award. Rosamund Pike still missed out on Best Actress.
But she doesn't feel regretful. She is very happy to be able to star in such a wonderful movie and be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress.
"Thank you, Charles, for writing such a good script, and thank you for inviting me to act." Rosamond expressed her gratitude to Xiang Nan.
"You're welcome, it's your good acting that makes this movie so exciting." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
…
After the Oscars, Xiang Nan concentrated on filming "Mission: Impossible: Reckoning (Part 1 and 2)".
In both films, he will battle the Syndicate to the death. Because the two movies are shot back to back, the workload is still very heavy. We are starting work at this time and it is estimated that we will not be able to shoot until the end of the year.
Therefore, he may not be able to be with his family for a long time. And this is why he is considering retiring. After all, as he gets older, he likes to be with his family more and more.
The film will start shooting in April and will be shot in London, Instanbul, Buenos Aires and Hong Kong, striving to create a super blockbuster with the most international vision.
Due to the large number of filming locations, investment has also increased sharply. The total investment for the two movies is US$500 million. I dare not say it is the most expensive movie, but it is indeed unrivaled at the moment.
"Mission: Impossible 7" is basically the same cast. As for the villains, in order to highlight the horror of the Syndicate, all big-name and powerful actors were invited.
For example, the new leader of the Syndicate is played by Viggo Mortensen. He is the legendary hero Aragorn in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
In addition, in order to increase the viewing pleasure, there are several supermodels playing the roles of elite agents of the Syndicate, MI6 and CIA in the film. Such as Elsa Houska, Cara Delevingne, Behati Prinsloo, Martha Hunt and so on.
These supermodels have good looks, good figures, and outstanding temperament. Most of them are proficient in yoga, Pilates, rope swings and other sports. Therefore, they have better mobility and coordination, and it is quite interesting to play the role of agents.
And this is actually Xiang Nan's benefit for himself. After all, the filming will take more than half a year, so he can't live without someone by his side.
