Chapter 18201822【Superior】


    In November, "The Best Partner 2" starring Xiang Nan was officially released.


    The main reason why he did not grab the Spring Festival slot is that Xiang Nan wanted to give the opportunity to Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and others.


    Otherwise, if his movie gets the most investment, uses the best actors, and occupies the best time slot... then the box office will definitely be indistinguishable.


    In this way, it will be difficult for others to surpass him, and naturally it will be even more difficult for him to rise to the top. So Xiang Nan gave up the best schedule and randomly selected a schedule to release it.


    Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and others were grateful after knowing his difficulties. When they were still trying hard to overtake Xiang Nan, Xiang Nan took the initiative to choose a bad road for them to overtake.


    ?This spirit of sacrificing the individual self to fulfill the greater self moved them very much.


    ??However, even though "The Best of Us 2" was just randomly selected, the film is still a hit because of its compact plot, grand scenes, vivid characters, twists and turns of the story, as well as Xiang Nan''s extraordinary box office appeal.


    The final box office revenue was over HK$24 million, which profoundly proved that your uncle is your uncle. Even if the schedule is not good enough, it will still be a hit at the box office.


    ?Such a box office appeal that other filmmakers are almost envious of.


    …


    In December, "Die Hard 2" was officially completed and then entered intense post-production.


    Xiang Nan finally relaxed and was able to play games with Laura Fanna and Michelle Pfeiffer.


    ? It is worth mentioning that he currently has three projects on his hands, "Mermaid", "Police Academy" and "The Goonies", and he also has the casting rights for these three projects.


    ??Now everyone knows that Xiang Nan Productions is synonymous with blockbusters. Because of this, there are now many people in Hollywood who want to take on his roles. In order to get a chance to perform, even if it is just an appearance or a small role that lasts only a few minutes, a lot of people are willing to sacrifice.


    So there is really no shortage of beauties around Xiang Nan, and there are as many as they want. After all, Hollywood is a gathering place for beautiful women from all over the world, and there is no shortage of young and beautiful girls here.


    …


    "Cattrall, hello, I remember your name. When I was filming "The Kid," you were one of the female lead candidates." Xiang Nan looked at Kim Cattrall and said.


    ??Kim Cattrall''s most well-known role is Asamantha Jones in "The City". She is uninhibited and daring, and is a goddess in the minds of many people.


    “Yes, I’m really sorry that I couldn’t work with you.” Cattrall said with emotion.


    ??If she had filmed that movie back then, she wouldn''t have wasted so many more years.


    "There is no need to regret. Missing the opportunity is not terrible. What is terrible is not knowing how to learn the lesson." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "In that case, no matter how many opportunities there are, you will always miss them."


    "You are right. Charles, no matter what you ask me to do, I am willing to do it." Cattrall immediately expressed his position.


    "Look, you said the wrong thing again. It''s not what I want you to do, but how you want to do it to satisfy me." Xiang Nan waved his hand.


    "I''m sorry, I was wrong, I will correct it immediately." Cattrall said immediately, and then started to take action.


    …


    At the end of December, Christmas time.


    "Die Hard 2" is officially released.


    Compared with the first film, it has bigger scenes, including two planes being blown up; the plot is more twists and turns, the story is more complex, and it is more watchable.


    Therefore, after its release, the box office performance and audience reputation were quite good, even compared with "Raiders of the Lost Ark" starring Harrison Ford and directed by Spielberg, which was released at the same time. Such box office results also shocked the industry.


    Including this "Die Hard 2", Xiang Nan has released three blockbusters this year.


    "Ghostbusters", "Back to the Future", "Die Hard 2"... Such abilities are really shocking.


    In Hollywood, capital is king, and whoever can make money will be favored by them the most.


    ?Hence, as Xiang Nan continues to create box office miracles, he has also been favored by capital, and his film salary has increased to an unprecedented tens of millions of dollars.


    · Newspapers and media covered his news extensively, and the most watched programs in the United States, "Saturday Night Live", "The Larry King Show", and "Good Morning America" ??all competed to invite him to be a guest.


    ?? Raymond White, who had deliberately plotted against him on the show, now also took the initiative to send interview invitations to Xiang Nan, but Xiang Nan refused them all.


    ??He has not forgotten how Raymond White treated him poorly at the beginning, and now he wants to be on the show to help him increase the ratings. It is really a daydream!


    …


    At the beginning of January 1984, Xiang Nan returned to Xiangjiang.


    At this time, "Five Lucky Stars" began to be released.


    ?This movie has gathered many big-name stars. In addition to Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, and Jackie Chan, there are also stars such as Feng Suifan, Wu Yaohan, Qin Xianglin, Shum Jianxun, Chung Chuhong, Xia Wenxi and other stars.


    Even the guest stars are big names, such as Zhao Zhiling, Xigua Shao, Cao Dahua, Kit Chan, Xu Anhua, Wu Ma, Li Saimin, Ye Tong, etc. It can be said that it is a gathering of stars.


    So many big-name stars are enough to attract audiences to the theater. What''s more, the story of "Five Lucky Stars" is so interesting, especially the five lucky stars playing tricks and making lots of jokes. It made the audience grin from ear to ear, and the box office was naturally good.


    ??The final box office was more than 23 million Hong Kong dollars. Although it was not as good as "The Best of Us 2", it has already gained fame.


    The three brothers Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and Jackie Chan have become the guarantee of the box office. The combined box office appeal of the three of them is not weaker than Xiang Nan.


    This is already worth it for Jiahe.


    After all, talents like Xiang Nan who are able to get along well in Hollywood are really rare.


    …


    Xiang Nan did not stay in Xiangjiang for too long. He only stayed for less than half a month before returning to the mainland.


    During his stay in Xiangjiang, he mainly accompanied Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin and Xia Wenxi.


    After not seeing each other for more than half a year, the three of them have become even more beautiful, which makes it harder for him to let go of them, **** it.


    “Haney, do you think I can go to Hollywood?” Guan Zhilin asked Xiang Nandao expectantly.


    “If you’re just filming, of course you can. I can always arrange a role for you.” Xiang Nan nodded and said, “But it will be difficult for you to become famous.”


    "Why?" Guan Zhilin asked in surprise, "Do you think I''m not as beautiful as those European and American stars?"


    "That''s not true. In terms of appearance, you are definitely no worse than them." Xiang Nan smiled, "The key is that Hollywood has never been short of beauties. Moreover, beauties may not be popular in Hollywood."


    ?Brooke Shields, Jennifer Connelly, Denise Richards, Nicole Kidman... these are all top beauties, but they are not very popular.


    The top actresses in Hollywood are the ones who are not very beautiful. Such as Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg and many more.
