Chapter 1817 1819 [Art is a common practice]
Xiang Nan filmed two more scenes.
In the evening, I went to play with Benny, Keith, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Laura and others as scheduled.
“Everyone, just have fun tonight, I will pay for all the expenses.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Everyone is naturally happy when they hear it.
"Charles, I was watching "Late Night with Raymond" and the one-hand opening of the monument you performed was real or fake?" After three drinks, everyone became familiar with it, and Binny curiously asked Xiang Nan for advice.
He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is proficient in judo, taekwondo, aikido and other kung fu. He is also the world champion of free fighting lightweight, and to some extent he is ranked number one in the world.
But in his opinion, it is still unimaginable to open a monument with one hand, at least he is far from being able to do it himself.
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "It''s a mule or a horse. Let''s take it out for a walk. In this way, I will show my hand and let everyone see."
When everyone heard this, they applauded.
Xiang Nan then picked up the empty wine bottle and said, "Look up, everyone~"
As he spoke, he clapped his hand with one hand, and there was a snap, and the bottom of the bottle shattered.
“Wow~” When everyone saw it, they cheered one after another.
If the wine bottle is full, many martial arts masters here can smash the top of the bottle and break the bottom.
It uses the impact of the wine to break the bottom of the bottle.
??But Xiang Nan used an empty wine bottle and could still achieve this effect, which is really incredible.
“Incredible, how did you do it?” Binny said in surprise.
??Keith was also shocked.
Xiang Nan’s Kung Fu was beyond his understanding.
“Chinese Kung Fu~” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“Unbelievable~” everyone exclaimed, even Laura Fanna had a strange look in her eyes.
…
After dinner, everyone went dancing together.
“Miss Fang Na, can you dance with me?” Xiang Nan invited Laura Fang Na.
“You speak Spanish?” Laura Fanna asked a little surprised.
"I learned a little bit when I was in Hollywood." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "My pronunciation is pretty standard, right?"
“Very standard.” Laura nodded with a smile, and then entered the dance floor with Xiang Nan.
Everyone was a little envious at first sight.
Laura Fanna is the winner of the Miss Spain beauty pageant in 1979. She is blonde, blue-eyed, slim and beautiful.
Hung Sammo also asked her to be the heroine of the movie because of her beauty.
?At that time in Spain, everyone was busy filming and no one thought about picking up girls.
Now he was about to take action, but Xiang Nan got there first, which made everyone feel a little depressed.
?However, they also know that as long as Xiang Nan takes action, they will basically have no chance, so they can only find other projects.
Fortunately, most of them are celebrities, so it is not difficult to pick up girls.
…
“Charles, are you a good dancer?” Laura smiled.
“Thank you, you dance very well too.” Xiang Nan also nodded.
Two people danced disco together. Laura has long hands and legs, she is beautiful and sassy, ??and her dancing is naturally good-looking. She attracted everyone''s attention, and Xiang Nan couldn''t help but feel hot in her heart just looking at her. "Actually, as beautiful as you and with such good temperament, you should go to Hollywood to develop. It would be too unfair for you to only film in Spain." He said with a smile.
“I also want to go to Hollywood, but there is no chance.” Laura said immediately after hearing this.
"I will be filming "Die Hard 2" in the second half of the year. If you are interested, I can arrange for you to play a role." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Laura’s eyes suddenly widened.
"Die Hard" was one of the highest-grossing movies in Hollywood at the end of 1981 and the beginning of 1982, with a global box office of US$140 million.
Although "Die Hard 2" has not yet been filmed, given the success of the first part, the second part is also likely to achieve high box office. To be able to play a role in it, even if it is not the heroine, but just the third or fourth female lead... is very rare for her.
??After all, Spanish movies are completely incomparable to Hollywood. It is purely a daydream for her to make a name for herself in Spain and then go to Hollywood to film.
So she must seize this opportunity.
“Really?! I’m very interested.” She said immediately.
“Then let’s go back to the hotel and talk slowly, okay?” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Laura nodded immediately.
…
Xiang Nan immediately took Laura back to the hotel. After a night of in-depth communication, the two had a deep understanding of each other.
Xiang Nan agreed to help Laura arrange a role in "Die Hard 2", and Laura was filled with gratitude for Xiang Nan''s generosity.
In return, Laura stayed with Xiang Nan for the next few days, so much so that the film promotion was delayed.
Fortunately, "Fast Truck" sold well with Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, and the hard-hitting real kung fu, so her absence from the promotion is not a problem.
At the beginning of June, "Food Truck" was officially released.
Once released, the movie did very well at the box office.
On the one hand, it is a rare large-scale production in Hong Kong movies, with an investment of 15 million Hong Kong dollars, which not every film company dares to spend. Big productions are naturally more likely to attract attention.
On the one hand, its content is indeed exciting. Not only is the story novel and the fighting exciting, but the rich exotic customs and the blond and blue-eyed exotic beauties make this movie highly watchable.
So the box office of it exceeded one million on the first day it was released. Looking at this momentum, it is very possible that the box office will exceed 20 million.
This also made Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung and others breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, this play has so much overruns, and they can''t afford to lose money if it happens. When the time comes, they will be on their way to stardom.
?Just like Chu Yuan, in the past two years, the Gu Long martial arts film he directed became a hit and became very popular in Taiwan, known as Chu Yuan. Gu Long, Ti Lung, and Chu Yuan are also known as the iron triangle in the film industry.
??But in the past two years, each of the Gu Long martial arts films directed by Chu Yuan has been worse at the box office than the last. As a result, he was kicked out of Shaw Brothers and no longer had to film any films.
?Chuyuan Yinjian is not far away, and they don''t want to make the same mistake again.
…
?At the same time, in the United States, test screenings of "Ghostbusters" have also begun.
?The so-called test screening means that before the film is officially released, the audience and film critics are invited to preview it in order to solicit their opinions and make further arrangements.
If everyone responds well, it can be officially launched. If the response is not good enough, it will have to be re-edited or even re-shot.
The production cost of the movie "Ghostbusters" reached 18 million U.S. dollars, and the subsequent special effects cost more than 10 million U.S. dollars, totaling 30 million U.S. dollars. Including distribution costs, it''s almost $40 million.
??If the response is not good, then Columbia Pictures will have to vomit blood. Therefore, it attaches great importance to this trial screening and is prepared to do so.
Xiang Nandu received the news of the test screening early, but he was not worried at all.
?Because he knows that this "Ghostbusters" has a high degree of completion, even better than the original version. Moreover, its such a strong star cast will make it the pinnacle of American fantasy horror films in the next twenty or thirty years.
Therefore, unlike the CEO of Columbia Pictures who waited nervously by the phone for news, he made an appointment with Xia Wenxi to go out to sea.
