Chapter 1794 1796 [Die Hard]


    After Xiang Nan arrived in the United States, he joined the crew of "Cannonball Race" and met with the main actors.


    Roger Moore, the leading actor of 007; Peter Fonda, a top Hollywood actor; Porter Reynolds, one of the most popular American actors in the 1970s; Philla Foster, the drama version of "Thunderbolt" The star of "Girls", a top **** idol in the 1970s... and finally his partner who plays opposite in the film - Brooke Shields.


    ??The reason why Warner asked them to collaborate a second time is mainly because the image of the on-screen couple created by the two in "The Dragon King" was relatively recognized.


    In addition, the offline CP speculation between the two of them is also very popular. Although the heat has cooled down a bit now, it is good to return to the pot and use the remaining heat.


    “Charles, I miss you so much.” Brooke Shields was very excited to see Xiang Nan again, “Why didn’t you call me even once when you got back?”


    “I thought that our relationship would automatically end when the publicity ended.” Xiang Nan explained, “If I call you again, wouldn’t it be harassment?”


    "It doesn''t matter, just call me." Brooke Shields smiled, "Not only do I not mind, but I welcome you."


    "Okay, but I have to avoid your mother. I don''t want to be looked down upon." Xiang Nan nodded.


    “I really wish I could leave her soon, I can’t stand her anymore.” Brooke Shields said with emotion when she heard this.


    ?Her mother is too controlling, and she has to obey her mother''s arrangements in every move she makes from childhood to adulthood. If she asks you to take pornographic photos, she will take pornographic photos, if she asks you to take commercials, you will take commercials, if she asks you to make R-rated movies, she will make R-rated movies, if she does not ask you to fall in love, you will not fall in love...


    She felt like a Barbie doll being played around by her mother. Although Barbie is very beautiful, very beautiful, very popular, but who likes this kind of puppet-like life.


    "Then at least you have to wait until you reach adulthood to take back your custody rights." Xiang Nan reminded.


    In the United States, guardians have great power. All civil rights of the ward are controlled by the guardian. Including property rights, personal rights, health rights, and even employment rights, health rights, etc.


    ?In particular, Terry Shields is also Brooke Shields'' agent, responsible for representing all her acting activities. Therefore, her tentacles can penetrate into every aspect of Brooke Shields'' life and control her in all aspects.


    Before the custody rights were taken back, it was impossible for Brooke Shields to escape from control.


    “Well, I really hope I can grow up soon.” Brooke Shields nodded.


    …


    In March, the filming of "Cannonball Race" officially started.


    At this time, Xiang Nan already knew the news that "Police Story" was a box office hit.


    This has benefited him a lot and given him more bargaining power with Jiahe.


    Especially in film investment. Previously, Golden Harvest was hesitant to spend 12 million Hong Kong dollars to film "Police Story". Now let it spend 12 million Hong Kong dollars to film a movie, and I promise not to say anything.


    During the filming, Xiang Nan also came up with his carefully prepared script - "Die Hard".


    "Die Hard" is a classic action film starring Bruce Willis in 1988. It cost US$28 million and had a total box office of US$140 million, ranking first in the annual box office rankings. Seven people can be said to be making a lot of money.


    ??Bruce Willis became an instant star and became a popular action movie star in Hollywood. And his character John McClane is regarded as the epitome of a tough guy.


    ??This movie was later imitated by Hong Kong films. "A Hard Man" starring Jet Li and Jacky Cheung borrowed from this movie.


    ? Xiang Nan believes that the movie "Die Hard" is very suitable for him. On the one hand, this movie was a hit at the box office, and on the other hand, it suited his image of an action tough guy.


    It’s just that his personality needs to change.


    ?Bruce Willis was already thirty-two years old when he starred in this movie, so he played McClane who went to the company to visit his wife and accidentally encountered a robber.


    ? Xiang Nan is only twenty-two years old this year, so it would be inappropriate to visit his wife. It would be fine to visit his girlfriend instead.???…


    After the script of "Die Hard" was submitted, Warner Pictures passed the review and expressed great interest in buying the script.


    Xiang Nan agreed, but insisted on adding that the film must star him and cannot be changed.


    Warner said it needs to be considered.


    Because the scenes of this movie are relatively large, the investment requires at least 15 million US dollars, which is a large investment.


    Hang Nan is of Chinese descent after all, and his box office appeal is limited. No one is sure whether he can create another miracle.


    Therefore, it needs to carefully weigh the gains and losses.


    Xiang Nan didn''t rush it either. Without Zhang butcher, he wouldn''t eat pigs with hair on them.


    ?There are many film companies in Hollywood, not just Warner.


    He told his agent to send the script to several more film companies. Especially big companies like Universal, Fox, Paramount, and Columbia.


    They will definitely be interested in this script. After all, a good script and a good story are like gold in the sand, they cannot be hidden.


    Sure enough, after seeing the script, major film companies expressed their willingness to invest.


    Among them, Universal Pictures is the most active. Not only was he willing to finance the filming, but he also promised to star Xiang Nan and was given a salary of one million US dollars.


    At that time, the salary was not too high, but it was definitely not low either.


    After Warner heard the news, he immediately couldn''t sit still.


    The script of "Die Hard" is a good one at first glance. The characters are vivid and the story is ups and downs and thrilling. A movie like this would be rejected unless it was stupid.


    The reason why it needs to be considered is just to get a grip.


    ?Now seeing that this project is about to be snatched away by Universal Pictures, it is naturally unwilling to do it. So he immediately sent someone to find Xiang Nan, hoping to keep the project.


    It’s better to be experienced than to be experienced, so Xiang Nan finally decided to cooperate with Warner.


    ?? And CAA also helped Xiang Nan secure the best cooperation conditions. Not only was the film remuneration of one million US dollars, but he also received a 2% profit share.


    ??If "Die Hard" can make a profit of 100 million US dollars, then Xiang Nan can get a share of 2 million. Of course this is under ideal conditions.


    Actually, Hollywood film companies are quite thieves. Even a big-selling movie can be turned into a loss by them. Therefore, powerful superstars will ask to be divided according to the box office.


    But no matter what, this condition is pretty good for Xiang Nan.


    …


    Preparations for "Die Hard" began immediately, and due to Xiang Nan''s strong suggestion, Wood Heathrow, who had had conflicts with him before, was excluded from the list of candidate producers because Xiang Nan did not want to be involved again. Cooperate with him.


    ?This made Wood Heathrow regret greatly. If he had treated Xiang Nan well, he would not have ended up like this.
