Chapter 18251827【Fitness Master】
At the same time as "Lucky Star" was released, "Dragon King 3" was also officially released.
??As the final film in the "Dragon Boy" series, after its release, it has been highly sought after and reluctant to leave by many movie fans.
"Charles, are you really not going to film the "The Kid" series anymore?" Talk show host David Letterman asked Xiang Nandao.
“Yes, this third part is complete.” Xiang Nan nodded.
“Why? It was still a hit at the box office. Wouldn’t it be a pity to end like this?” David asked in confusion.
??If no one has watched the "Dragon Boy" series, then it is normal not to film it. The key point is that the first two films of "The Dragon King" both grossed over 100 million US dollars at the box office, ranking among the top ten in North America''s annual box office rankings, and they also received good reviews from the audience.
Such a money-grabbing tool, Xiang Nan actually wants to stop, it is really a waste of money.
"I don''t think it''s a pity. The story of "The Dragon King" has basically been told. It''s hard to have a better story when making a sequel. I don''t want to make some bad stories to deceive the audience, so it''s just right to stop it here." Xiang Nan waved her hands and said,
“And I am already twenty-six years old this year, and I have graduated from college for several years. I feel embarrassed if I am asked to play a high school student again.”
"So that''s it. But if you didn''t tell me, I wouldn''t have realized that you are already twenty-six years old." David smiled, "You look really young. Is there any secret?"
"My secret is kung fu." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I practice Baduanjin every night before going to bed. This will give me a good sleep. After getting up, I practice Tai Chi to activate my muscles and bones. This ensures that I am full of energy throughout the day and not easily tired. ”
“Is your kung fu easy to practice? Can you teach it to me?” David asked curiously, “I think the audience would also like to learn it.”
Hearing him ask this, the audience applauded.
People in modern society generally suffer from insomnia, get tired easily, and have no energy all day long. If learning kung fu really helps sleep, strengthens the body, refreshes the spirit, and keeps you young forever, then they will naturally give it a try.
“Okay.” Xiang Nan nodded, and then performed a live demonstration of Baduanjin and another set of Tai Chi.
?Although he tried his best to demonstrate, due to the limited time, he still didn''t have time to talk about many important points, which made Xiang Nan feel a little regretful.
“It’s really great, I think it’s a bit like Indian yoga.” David smiled, “I will practice it, and if it is really effective, I will even be willing to become your teacher.”
Xiang Nan smiled, but thought in his heart, you want to become my teacher, but I don’t want to accept you yet.
…
"Late Night with David" is one of the most-watched talk shows in the United States. At its peak, the audience reached more than 20 million, and its influence is considerable.
The Kung Fu demonstrated by Xiang Nan on "The Late Late Show with David" naturally attracted a large number of people to imitate him.
And after many people imitated it, they actually claimed it was effective. He said that after practicing Baduanjin and Tai Chi, his sleep quality has really improved and his mental condition has also improved.
?Once it is passed down to ten, and from ten to a hundred, more and more people want to practice these two skills, and they all regard it as a magical witchcraft from the East.
?However, what Xiang Nan showed was not complete, so many people didn’t understand the point. As a result, smart American companies immediately sensed business opportunities.
They sent people to find Xiang Nan, hoping to help him produce Kung Fu videos and let him demonstrate the training methods of Baduanjin and Tai Chi in detail so that everyone can imitate and learn.
?Celebrities posting fitness videos are not exclusive to the short video era.
?In 1982, Hollywood superstar Jane Fonda released a video to teach everyone how to do aerobics. "The Jane Fonda Workout" sold 17 million copies, a feat that has yet to be surpassed.
Hang Nan would naturally not refuse the money delivered to his door. In fact, he is also willing to promote and popularize Chinese Kung Fu in this way. This can be regarded as an alternative cultural invasion.
?So he finally cooperated with Godez, the largest chain fitness brand in the United States, to produce and launch the video "Charles''s Health Kungfu".
Xiang Nan not only received tens of millions of dollars in remuneration, but also received a further two dollars in share for every video tape sold.
Actually, it was very easy for him to film these two scenes. Even the demonstration and explanation took less than two days in total. In two days, 10 million U.S. dollars were accounted for. If word spread, I don’t know how many people will die from envy.
…
"Charles''s Health Tips" will be released immediately.
Because of the popularity of Superstar Xiang Nan and the word-of-mouth reputation, this video achieved very good sales as soon as it was released, with more than two million copies sold.
After people bought it, they followed Xiang Nan’s demonstration.
?Ba Duan Jin and Tai Chi are both treasures of Chinese martial arts and are truly effective fitness skills. Therefore, many people find it very effective after learning it.
The quality of sleep has improved, the frequency of waking up at night has decreased, and people have become more energetic...
Since it is effective, more people will learn from it. In the end, the video was introduced in more than 70 countries and sold more than 30 million copies, better than Jane Fonda''s aerobics video.
?The huge sales of this video have made many people who were not very fond of Xiang Nan now like him very much. After all, no one will have trouble with his own life unless he is a madman.
This has increased Xiang Nan''s popularity.
?The huge sales of this video also made Baduanjin and Tai Chi two Chinese martial arts popularized around the world. Later, Xiang Nan also used this to form the International Health Preservation Federation, with more than 30 million members in more than 100 countries and regions around the world.
Of course this is all a story for later.
…
In fact, Xiang Nan rushed to France immediately after recording the video.
The opening scene of "The Best of Us 3" was shot there.
The filming location is the Eiffel Tower, the most famous landmark building in Paris.
? It was originally difficult to apply for filming there. After all, the Eiffel Tower is so famous. It receives more than 7 million tourists every year, and an average of 20,000 people visit it a day.
??And if you are filming a movie, you have to seal off the venue so that tourists come here in joy and leave disappointed. Therefore, it is naturally very difficult to apply for location filming.
?Wang Jing even thought of killing him first and then showing off. He was going to go in with a small camera and let the actors start acting right away. Seize the time and try to go through it again. This way, even if I get caught, the scene is over. It''s no big deal as long as you pay a fine.
?Hong Kong filmmakers are all so smart.
??Wu Siyuan took people to Rome to film "Little Roman Heroes" and planned to shoot the scene in the church. They also didn''t allow it, so he ended up cutting things off first, taking people in for filming first, and then fled away after filming.
?But what he didn’t expect was that the Paris city government heard that Xiang Nan wanted to use the Eiffel Tower for filming and immediately agreed. It was even proposed that if there are requirements for personnel and props, the city government will try its best to cooperate.
?Wang Jing was a little emotional after hearing this.
