Chapter 1797 1799【Michelle Pfeiffer】
After careful consideration, Xiang Nan finally selected Michelle Pfeiffer as the heroine of her new film.
Because among the four candidates, she is the most beautiful one. Back then, she participated in "Batman Returns" and played the **** and charming Catwoman, which captivated many audiences.
?Her Catwoman posters were even stolen home by movie fans for collection. So many were stolen that the police had to send special personnel to patrol the area.
When Xiang Nan worked with Brooke Shields before, he was opposed by a group of racists, saying that he, a Chinese, was not qualified to play a couple with Bai Niuer.
In this case, he only selects the most beautiful white girls to make those racists angry to death.
In any case, they will not be his fans. No matter how you try to please them, they will not enter the theater.
Subsequently, Xiang Nan told Mario Caesar about this decision, and Mario supported his choice after hearing it.
On the one hand, Michelle Pfeiffer is beautiful enough, with blond hair, blue eyes, and a slim figure, which is eye-catching enough for the audience; on the other hand, after Michelle Pfeiffer debuted, she filmed many commercials and participated in many It''s a film and television drama, and it''s still famous.
All things considered, he is a good candidate.
…
??While Xiang Nan is preparing for "Die Hard", in Hong Kong, the comedy "The Young Master" directed by Wang Jing has been very popular at the box office since its release.
??The total investment in this movie was less than one million Hong Kong dollars, but it achieved a box office of more than six million Hong Kong dollars. It can be said to be a huge profit. Not only did Wang Jing become a popular director, but the three leading actors Chen Baixiang, Chow Yun-fat and Chung Chu-hong all benefited a lot.
At the time when "The Young Master" is in theaters, Wang Jing''s other drama "The Eight Generals" has also officially started filming, with Chow Yun-fat, Chung Chu-hong, Chen Baixiang and others playing the leading roles.
He is so prolific and his results are so good that he can’t help but attract attention in the industry.
Just after the screening of "The Big Brother" ended, "Dragon Ninja" directed and starred by Jackie Chan was also officially released.
??This movie tells the story of the Japanese shogunate period. Following the secret orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Iga ninjas pretended to be pirates and raided the border of the Ming Dynasty. Jonin Hayato fights against the Middle-earth knight Wang Zongyue, and the hero cherishes the hero.
Afterwards, inspired by Wang Zongyue, Hayato couldn''t bear to burn, kill and loot any more, so he stole Iga''s secret treasure Ninjutsu Mysteryden and defected, married a woman, and lived in seclusion in the mountains without caring about worldly affairs.
Hattori Hanzo, the leader of the Iga clan, sent ninjas to hunt down Hayato, but his efforts were in vain because Hayato lived in seclusion in the mountains. A few years later, Hayato had a son, Hayabusa Ryu, and he practiced ninjutsu since he was a child.
Hayabusa was naughty when he was young. He used ninjutsu in public and was discovered by ninjas. Hayato was chased by ninjas. In a critical moment, he sacrificed himself to save Hayabusa.
Hayabusa became a disciple of Wang Zongyue, learned Chinese martial arts, combined it with his own ninjutsu, and finally defeated Hattori Hanzo. Not only did he avenge his father, but he also defeated the Japanese pirates and benefited the whole party. Therefore, he was praised as the "Dragon Ninja".
"Dragon Ninja" combines Chinese martial arts and Japanese ninjutsu, which greatly increases the fun and viewing ability. Coupled with Jackie Chan''s wonderful performance, the movie became a hit at the box office after its release.
??Finally achieved a box office result of HK$7.8 million, although it was far less successful than Xiang Nan''s "Police Story". But among the Kung Fu movie stars, he is already considered the best.
After all, most of the Kung Fu stars at the time, such as Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Chen Guantai, Wang Yu, Liu Jiahui, Fu Sheng, etc., did not perform as well as him at the box office.
…
After the success of "Dragon Ninja", Jackie Chan came up with the script of "One and a Half Moves" written by himself, hoping to invest in filming.
Xiang Nan didn''t read the script, but he believed in Jackie Chan''s vision, so he decided to let him give it a try. He would only lose 700,000 to 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, which he could afford.
Jackie Chan is naturally grateful for Xiang Nan''s 100% trust. In fact, after the hits of "The Tiger" and "Dragon Ninja" starring in him, it is not that no film company wanted to poach him.
?After all, at this stage, everyone can see that Xiang Nan is mainly developing in Hollywood, and the action film market in Xiangjiang has vacated space. Whoever can take over Xiang Nan''s position will be the next box office superstar.
Among the action stars, Jackie Chan has the most outstanding performance, so naturally many people want to poach him.
?However, Jackie Chan was grateful for Xiang Nan''s support and trust in him, so even though the film companies had offered two to three million in signing bonuses, Jackie Chan still chose to stay at Zhen Kung Fu Pictures.
This is also his reward for Xiang Nan.
…
In July, filming of "Die Hard" officially started.
Although the story takes place in New York, to save money, the filming was actually done in Vancouver.
Many Hollywood movies and TV series do this.
?On the one hand, Canada often has tax exemption policies in order to attract Hollywood crews; on the other hand, government departments are easier to talk to and filming locations are easier to apply for. If I were in New York and wanted to rent a building for filming, I wouldn''t know how many fields I would have to fill out in the application form.
??And shooting in Vancouver also facilitated Xiang Nan and Miao Kexiu''s meeting, which was a double benefit.
Miao Kexiu immigrated to Canada in June. For a wealthy star like her, and whose parents have been here for a long time, immigration is much easier.
In comparison, ordinary people who want to immigrate do not know how long they have to wait for approval.
“You brought the film crew to Vancouver just for me?” Miao Kexiu asked with a smile.
"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded, "Actually, the crew was planning to go to Toronto for filming, and it was I who suggested they come to Vancouver."
"I knew it." Miao Keyiu nodded, and suddenly smiled and said, "The Michelle Pfeiffer who is working with you is very beautiful."
"Don''t be jealous. I have nothing to do with her. She has a boyfriend now." Xiang Nan understood the elegant meaning of Xiange and immediately waved her hands, "Besides, it''s not up to me to decide which female star to use. Ah. If I had that power, I would rather use you as the heroine."
“Yeah.” After hearing what he said, Miao Kexiu was immediately satisfied.
In fact, she also knew that Xiang Nan was not the kind of person who liked to entertain cats and dogs.
? Before he became famous, when filming "Snake Man" and "Drunken Master", all the martial artists on the crew went to the dance hall, but he did not go. The reputation of being clean and self-sufficient has long been spread.
He pursued her very sincerely after that. He pursued her for nearly two years, during which time he never found anyone else. This all shows that Xiang Nan is a sincere and dedicated good man, so she believes that Xiang Nan will not cheat.
Because of this, even if the scandal between Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields spread so much last year, she never doubted it.
This can be regarded as a kind of stereotype.
?But Xiang Nan really has nothing to do with Michelle Pfeiffer, and he did not lie to Miao about this.
