Chapter 1806 1808【Second Match】
"You don''t have to hide it from me. I already know it. I''m not in "The Kid 2" and you guys have to work together to kick me out." Brooke Shields said angrily.
She originally wanted to hook up with Xiang Nan, but she didn''t expect that she had just received the news that she was out. This made her very unhappy, so she called Xiang Nan to protest.
"That''s not the case." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan said quickly, "In this movie, the heroine''s role is not important. I thought you didn''t bother to star, so you didn''t make any advance arrangements. Since you want to star, then Warner Bros. and I will Just say it.”
“Fool, I don’t want to star in a movie, I just want to be with you.” Brooke Shields said immediately.
"Okay, I understand." Xiang Nan nodded, "Then I''ll make arrangements."
Subsequently, he mentioned the matter to Warner.
? Warner executives directly agreed to this suggestion without much thought.
Xiang Nan''s "Die Hard" had a box office of US$66 million in North America and US$44 million in overseas box office. Altogether, that’s $110 million.
??And its cost was only 14 million U.S. dollars, and Warner earned tens of millions from just this movie.
In Hollywood, everything is based on profit. It''s not wrong to pick up girls here, it''s not wrong to arrive late and leave early, it''s not wrong to act like a celebrity, the only fault is not selling out.
??And as long as it can sell well, even if they make all these mistakes, the film company will still be happy with it.
?For example, when Johnny Depp was filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", one night he suddenly missed his friends in the United States and hoped to have a party with them.
?So Disney specially sent a special plane to fly his friends to the Caribbean to party with Johnny Depp. This alone cost over half a million dollars.
?The reason why Johnny Depp can be so willful is simply because "Pirates of the Caribbean" sold a lot of money.
??The same is true for Xiang Nan now. His starring roles in "The Kid" and "Die Hard" have both made a lot of money for Warner. Therefore, Warner now wishes he could enshrine him and worship him like the God of Wealth.
As long as his request is not too excessive, Warner will find a way to satisfy it. Now it''s just a matter of appointing a heroine. Don''t make it too simple. Warner will naturally not refuse.
…
Preparations for "Dragon Boy 2" began immediately.
The male and female protagonists are already in place, but after thinking about it, Xiang Nan decided to use Steven Seagal as the male villain.
On the one hand, he is a seventh-degree black belt master in Aikido and Karate, with clean and neat skills. If you hire such a professional martial artist to film, the martial arts scenes can be designed more beautifully. On the one hand, he has filmed some movies, and his acting skills are quite good. He is more delicate and expressive, and he is good enough to play the villain in the film.
? Steven Seagal was very happy to accept the invitation after being invited.
Actually, action actors like him are not popular in Hollywood.
Because Hollywood action movies do not pay attention to fighting skills. What they like is straightforward violence and destruction.
This can be seen from a series of action movies starring Schwarzenegger. The protagonist''s fighting relies entirely on muscles and brute force, and he fights head-on. There is no skill at all.
??No matter how good Steven Seagal''s kung fu is, in this environment, there is no place for a hero. Even when he makes movies, he only makes low-cost violent films with almost no quality at all, and of course it is impossible for him to become famous through them.
Therefore, Xiang Nan invited him to film a movie, and he immediately agreed, fearing that Xiang Nan would regret it.
“Dragon Boy 2” officially started shooting in May.
Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields collaborated again after breaking up, which also attracted the attention of the American media.
Many media also re-examined the love history of the two, speculating whether the two may reunite because of this cooperation.
??Tali Xiaosi has no objection to this.
On the one hand, Brooke Shields'' acting career is really lackluster. Except for "The Dragon King", "Cannonball Speed" and "The Story of a Beautiful Girl" which were somewhat well-received, the other films didn''t make any splash at all.
Therefore, although she is known as the eighth wonder of the world and has fascinated a large number of fans just by her appearance, her status is actually being constantly impacted.
After all, no one can look at their faces for a lifetime, especially there is no shortage of beauties in Hollywood.
?For example, Michelle Pfeiffer, who worked with Xiang Nan last time in "Die Hard", is a great beauty. But before making this movie, she had been struggling in Hollywood for six years.
?Therefore, if a star wants to be famous for a long time, he still has to rely on his works to speak for himself. This is also the reason why Terry Shields asked Brooke Shields to participate in "The Kid 2".
Xiang Nan is now a popular celebrity in Hollywood. The blockbusters of the two movies "The Kid" and "Die Hard" fully prove his talent and popularity.
Compared with him, Brooke Shields is a vase that does not live up to its name. The two people''s current status has basically been reversed. When Xiang Nan had a scandal with her before, Xiang Nan still took advantage. Now Brooke Shields is taking advantage.
Xiang Nan is not opposed to promoting the scandal with Brooke Shields again. Anyway, he will not suffer any loss.
?But he still has to take Michelle Pfeiffer’s opinion into account. After all, they are still nominally a couple.
So Xiang Nan made a special trip to visit her.
…
When Michelle Pfeiffer heard about this, she did not hesitate and quickly agreed.
First of all, the scandal between her and Xiang Nan was originally false, and the purpose was to promote "Die Hard". Now that the movie has been scrapped and the attention has slowly disappeared, it''s time for them to break up their partnership.
Secondly, hyping up the breakup is another eye-catching thing for her. Since the release of "Die Hard", she has yet to release a new work, causing her popularity to begin to decline.
So if she can hype up her change of attitude now, it will be very helpful to increase her popularity. So she readily agreed.
“However, I still have a condition, and I hope you can agree to it.” Michelle added.
"What are the conditions, please tell me first. As long as they don''t cross the line, I will consider it." Xiang Nan nodded. After all, she was a woman who had accompanied him, and he didn''t want to appear too cold-blooded.
“Our relationship can be broken, but I hope our relationship will continue.” Michelle Pfeiffer looked at Xiang Nan, biting her lips, and said with infinite temptation.
Xiang Nan was stunned, not expecting that she would make this request.
But this is not a bad thing for him.
Actually, he was reluctant to let go of a woman of her quality. In this case, just be a pair of wild mandarin ducks and communicate occasionally!
“Okay, I promise you.” Xiang Nan nodded.
