Chapter 1809 1811【I applaud you as my successor】


    ??While the filming of "Police Story 2" was intense, in August, "The Kid 2" was officially released.


    ? Xiang Nan had to leave the crew of Police 2 first and go to Hollywood for promotion.


    The publicity strategy is still to hype up the scandal. When filming Dragon 2 before, Xiang Nan had already broken up with Michelle Pfeiffer.


    ?At that time, this **** love affair dominated the entertainment pages for almost a month.


    ?Now, he is preparing to stir up rumors of getting back together with Brooke Shields.


    This is also the publicity strategy that was originally planned.


    ?So, soon photos of Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields going shopping together, dancing together, eating together, and playing together were published by the media.


    “Charles and Brooke Shields are suspected of rekindling their love, and they went to a pet shelter to adopt pets~”


    “Brooke Shields praised Charles for being smart, capable, and graceful, and declared that he was her ideal type.”


    “Charles praised Brooke Shields for being beautiful, smart, and well-educated, and declared that he would choose her model for his wife in the future.”


    “Brooke Shields denies dating Charles, saying that he is just a close friend because he is too familiar with her to do anything.”


    “Charles denies that he broke up with Michelle because of cheating on Brooke Shields and denied that he was in a relationship with Brooke Shields.”


    ??Although these scandals are all the same old stories, the content of the news is not much different from the last time when "Long Wei Boy" was hyped.


    ??It was reporters who took various intimate shots of Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields, and then Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields just refused to admit it. It was a routine, but the public paid attention to food and not to fight.


    The same routine, the same trap, they will still fall into it one after another, and they will continue to fall into it despite repeated mistakes. This is the same everywhere and at all times.


    ?For example, everyone knows that idols are false personalities, and there are not a few people who have their houses collapsed. But every time a new idol comes out, a lot of people are still crazy about it, and they can’t wake them up.


    Hence these scandals still receive a lot of attention.


    This is reflected in the box office. After the release of "The Dragon King 2", the box office has been consistently popular.


    On the first day of release, it took in more than 5 million US dollars at the box office. In its first week of release, it grossed US$15 million and topped the weekly box office rankings.


    ?Seeing this, everyone can see that "The Kid 2" is another hit, and Warner is going to make a fortune again this time, so it is naturally the envy of everyone.


    Because of this, many companies have taken up the idea of ??Xiang Nan and have offered conditions in the hope of cooperating with him.


    ?Although Xiang Nan is not ready to change partners, since people are offering benefits, there is no reason to refuse. Therefore, he asked CAA to help him keep an eye on it to see if he could get the best conditions.


    …


    After the ten-day publicity period, Xiang Nan returned to Hong Kong to continue filming "Police Story 2".


    ?At this time, "Plan A" starring Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao was finally released on the screen after more than half a year of production.


    ??Although this action movie is also from the late Qing Dynasty, it is no longer the traditional kung fu movie routine of making enemies, practicing martial arts, and taking revenge. On the contrary, its story line is more complex, the content is richer, and the fighting is more free-spirited and more enjoyable to watch.


    ?Coupled with the tacit cooperation between brothers Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao, "Plan A" became very popular as soon as it was released, no less than "The Best Partner" which was released more than a month ago.


    In the end, the film made 19.5 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, almost passing the 20 million Hong Kong dollars box office mark.


    ??Except for "Police Story" and "The Best of Us" starring Xiang Nan, this is also the highest box office in the history of Hong Kong movies, and it is two million higher than the Hui brothers'' "Modern Bodyguard". It is precisely because of this that brothers Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao have become one of the most popular action stars in Hong Kong. In terms of popularity, they are only slightly behind Xiang Nan.


    ?This also makes other companies envious. Why are all the outstanding talents leaving for Jiahe?


    Luo Wei was even more regretful.


    He has long known that Jackie Chan has the potential to become famous, so he has been praising him hard. It''s a pity that such a valuable star was bought away for only one million Hong Kong dollars. It''s really frustrating to think about.


    …


    "Aaron, "Plan A" is such a hit, I really want to congratulate you." Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    “Mr. Ning, this is all thanks to your well-written script, otherwise we wouldn’t have such a high box office.” Jackie Chan waved his hand.


    Script Script, the foundation of a play. Unlike other filmmakers in Hong Kong who do not respect scripts or screenwriters, Jackie Chan is a person who attaches great importance to scripts.


    He has collaborated with the well-known screenwriter Deng Jingsheng for more than 20 years, making them an excellent golden combination.


    "No matter how good the script is, it still needs good actors." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Aaron, it''s thanks to you that you acted in this film, otherwise it wouldn''t be so good."


    “You are too generous.” Jackie Chan said with embarrassment.


    "By the way, I also wrote this script. See if it suits you." Xiang Nan handed over the script again.


    "You don''t need to read what you wrote, it must be suitable for use." Jackie Chan said immediately after hearing it.


    Xiang Nan’s scripts are very successful in Hollywood, which has been tested by the market many times. If he didn''t look good, Xiang Nan wouldn''t be so popular anymore.


    “Let’s take a look first before talking.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    ?Jackie Chan nodded, took it and took a look, and saw three big words on the script - "Food Truck".


    He then read it carefully and felt that the story was quite good, especially since it was shot overseas. This is definitely very attractive to Hong Kong audiences.


    It''s just that "Plan A" was filmed in Hong Kong for half a year and cost nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars. If we go overseas to shoot, the cost will definitely exceed 10 million in half a year. This seems a bit risky.


    "Mr. Ning, your script is really good. But is it too expensive to shoot overseas? How about changing the script and setting it in Hong Kong?" Jackie Chan suggested.


    The core of the story of "Food Truck" is that the three brothers protect the heroine and allow her to successfully obtain the inheritance. The identity of the heroine can be changed. It can be written as the illegitimate daughter of a count or the illegitimate daughter of a billionaire... It does not affect the main structure of the film.


    “No, we still have to go overseas to shoot scenes.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, “Only in this way can we highlight your quality. Aaron, I want to promote you as my successor.


    To be my successor, you must be bold and grand. Going overseas to shoot scenes can highlight your status and help you gain more popularity.


    As for money, you don’t have to worry at all, I’m here. "


    Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Jackie Chan was very moved.


    ? Xiang Nan is the number one action movie superstar in Hong Kong. Let him take over and let him be the number one star.


    At that time, popularity, money, and status will be simply unimaginable.


    For him, it is really a great gift.
