Chapter 1789 1791 [Discrimination]
The hype surrounding Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields''s scandal has seen back and forth between confirmation and denial, attracting countless media reports and attracting the attention of countless readers.
Affected by this, the popularity of "Long Wei Boy" has also increased sharply, causing the film''s box office performance to rise linearly.
Previously, the single-day box office was only US$500,000, but now it has skyrocketed to more than US$3 million, a six-fold increase.
The production cost of this movie was only US$4 million. Including distribution expenses and publicity expenses, it is only tens of millions of dollars.
Hence, judging from the current box office, this movie has already recovered its cost. All future profits will be net profits. And according to the current momentum of movie releases, Warner may earn ten to twenty million US dollars.
Such achievements are enough for Xiang Nan to gain a foothold in Hollywood.
After all, of the four to five hundred movies released by Hollywood every year, only half of them can recover their costs. There are no companies that can more than double profits, not even 10%.
?Hence Xiang Nan, whose debut film has such a report card, has begun to attract the attention of major Hollywood companies. Several well-known Hollywood agencies have begun to contact Xiang Nan, hoping to represent his business.
?This group of people are leeches, and they will dig when they see blood. In other words, the fact that they can take the initiative to ask for cooperation shows that Xiang Nan is of sufficient value. Otherwise, they will ignore it at all.
Xiang Nan also knows that without the assistance of a brokerage company, it is difficult to survive in Hollywood on his own.
After all, professional people do professional things. Without a brokerage company to help take care of business, he simply cannot take care of his own business by himself.
?Especially since he will become more and more popular in the future, with so much business to discuss, he will be exhausted by himself. Therefore, he finally chose to cooperate with CAA, which represents his business in Hollywood.
CAA is one of the most well-known brokerage companies in the United States. Although it was established late, it is developing the fastest. Many celebrities and big names belong to it.
It is worth mentioning that American brokerage companies only help artists manage their business and do not have high power. Artists have the right to fire their managers at any time.
…
After CAA won Xiang Nan’s agency rights, it immediately helped him contact business. Several film crews have offered him an olive branch, hoping that he can participate.
?However, Xiang Nan took a look and found that most of these film projects were low-cost films with investments of several million. Moreover, most of the stories are very clichéd, and there are few works that make him shine.
Of course there are one or two large-scale productions with investments of more than 10 million US dollars. But the role played by Xiang Nan is not the protagonist, but a supporting role. In terms of character settings, most of them are villains.
Xiang Nan knows that this is because his foundation is not deep enough and his reputation is not big enough. In addition, his identity as a Chinese is also a limitation, so those high-quality film projects will not consider him.
Hence, Xiang Nan is not in a hurry to work on new films.
Because with the popularity he has accumulated so easily, if the next movie is not a hit, he will be knocked back to his original form and become a penniless artist again, so he must not be careless.
Furthermore, Xiang Nan still has some expectations in his heart. If "The Dragon King" can replicate the box office miracle in real life, it will achieve a box office of over 100 million US dollars.
At that time, with his performance, he will definitely win the favor of big projects. So he is also waiting for opportunities.
…
?? Raymond Late Night Show live broadcast.
Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields sat on the stage and were interviewed by Raymond White.
?The Raymond Late Show is a well-known talk show owned by ABC. The host Raymond White is a predecessor in the talk show industry and has a high reputation and status in the industry. Everyone who can appear on this program and be interviewed by him is a well-known person.
Xiang Nan was able to appear on this show thanks to the hype surrounding his scandal with Brooke Shields. Let him, a newcomer who was originally unknown, suddenly become the focus of public opinion.
??That''s why Raymond Late Night Show allowed him to appear on the show to promote "The Dragon King". Otherwise, he would have been disqualified.
Xiang Nan was very happy about the promotion of this program.
Because he knows that the average viewership of this program is more than 8 million, making it one of the more popular late-night talk shows. Its status is equivalent to Blue Channel''s "Run, Brother" and Tomato Channel''s "Extreme Challenge".
? Being able to appear on this show will naturally be very helpful to increase his popularity.
Xiang Nan originally prepared a lot of talents to show to the audience through this show, such as singing, dancing, kung fu, etc.
You know, he performed a moonwalk in "The Dragon King", which caused quite a stir after the movie was released.
People have never seen such magical dance steps before. It looks like they are moving forward, but in the end they slip back. Such dance steps are really eye-catching.
?There is also the love song "As Long As You Love Me", which is also a very popular song now. Many people have called the radio station specifically to ask for this song.
??Coupled with Xiang Nan’s kung fu skills, he will be on the show to promote, and there is definitely no shortage of talent and hot spots, and he will definitely be very interesting.
…
??But to Xiang Nan''s dismay, Raymond White only focused on interviewing Brooke Shields and ignored him sitting aside. Not a single question was given to him, and he was not given the right to speak at all.
? Even if Brooke Shields tried to bring the topic to Xiang Nan a few times, he would interrupt her.
?Seeing that the twenty-minute interview was coming to an end, Xiang Nan finally understood in his heart, "This old boy doesn''t want to interview me at all."
??Although he knows that his reputation is indeed worse than Brooke Shields. But being so favorable to others also made him feel resentful.
“Fuck, when I become a superstar, if you ask me to be on your show, I won’t even get it.” He thought to himself.
“Brooke, are you and Charles in love?” Raymond White asked with a smile.
"Actually, no, everyone has misunderstood. We are just good friends." Brooke Shields waved her hand and said.
“That’s it.” Raymond White laughed. “It seems that we American boys don’t have to be heartbroken.”
Hearing this sentence, the audience cheered.
??Although the scandal between Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields has been supported by some movie fans, most Americans are still opposed to this relationship.
After all, Xiang Nan is of Chinese descent, and Brooke Shields is known as the eighth wonder of the world and the most beautiful girl in the United States. If Xiang Nan catches her, she will really be like a flower stuck in cow dung.
Xiang Nan had been sitting on the bench all night and was already feeling angry. Now he heard the cheers from the audience again. Although he tried his best to keep smiling, he couldn''t help cursing in his heart, "Fuck, you actually look down on me. Wait." Look, I will soak up all your goddesses, leaving you red necks to just stare~"
?Originally, he didn''t plan to woo Bo Ji Xiaosi, but now he wants to kill her.
