Chapter 1829 1831【Lethal Weapon】
??Although Carol knows that Xiang Nan has many successful works, such as "Die Hard", "Ghostbusters", "The Kid", etc., which have created extremely high box office results.
?But those were basically commercial films, and they were blockbusters, but their artistic level was not high, and Carol didn''t like them. So although Xiang Nan''s talent is high, she doesn''t really recognize it.
?Just like Wang Jing, there are so many works that have achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success, but when people mention him, their first reaction is still shit, bad movies, and vulgarity!
However, after she watched "Fallen Angels", Carol suddenly changed her mind.
Xiang Nan''s script is so well written, and the love-hate entanglement between men and women in the world of mortals is vividly and meticulously written. She has been in the industry for nearly ten years and has never seen such a good script.
?She suddenly had an impulse in her heart. If Xiang Nan tried to persuade her to stay again, she would nod and agree to stay.
However, what was a pity for her was that Xiang Nan did not keep her until she entered the boarding gate.
"Charles, if you want me to stay, then I am willing to stay for you." Carol couldn''t hold back and turned to Xiang Nan and shouted.
"No need, I hope you want to stay." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
Carol shed tears, she could hear Xiang Nan''s pride.
When he asked her if she wanted to go to Hollywood, he was already showing her kindness, but it was a pity that she refused this kindness. He was so proud that he would not mention it a second time or give anyone another chance to reject him.
Carol did not choose to stay in the end because she was also a proud woman.
…
After the completion of "The Best of Us 3", Xiang Nan went to the United States to prepare for three films: "Top Gun", "Back to the Future 2" and "Spring Is Not a Day to Study".
After arriving in Hollywood, Xiang Nan received a large number of invitations.
?Banks want to talk to him about investment, film studios want to talk to him about cooperation, artists want to talk to him about casting...
?However, Xiang Nantong refused.
Because this kind of social interaction of welcoming and sending off is the most painful. Although Xiang Nan is good at dealing with people, he prefers to stay alone unless necessary.
Furthermore, he has already finalized the three projects in his mind.
Accepting someone else''s invitation and discussing cooperation with them will make him feel like cheating people out of food, money, sex, and ostentation.
However, since every movie produced by Xiang Nan is a hit, all the artists participating in the performance can become popular, such as Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael J. Fox, Leigh Thompson, Kim Cattrall, Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah and more.
?Hence, Hollywood artists now want to collaborate with him. Even the top superstars are no exception. After all, no one cares if they become more popular.
Therefore, the male and female protagonists of the two dramas "Spring is Not a Day for Studying" and "Top Gun" have become battlegrounds for military strategists, and the competition is extremely fierce.
Even if Xiang Nan refuses to socialize, many people will still come to visit him, either by recommending themselves or by recommending others.
What''s more, he ran directly to the hotel where he was staying, opened the door through some unknown means, and lay down directly on the bed. He bluntly said that if she was given a role, she would be his. There are even men among them. Although Xiang Nan was not afraid, being harassed by others made him feel depressed. Therefore, in order to avoid further confusion, he made a prompt decision and announced the candidate for the main role.
? Among them, "Top Gun" stars Tom Cruise and Michelle Pfeiffer, and "Spring Is Not a Reading Day" stars Nicolas Cage, Mia Sara, and Jim Carrey.
Mia Sara is the goddess of a generation of Chinese people. In the 1980s and 1990s, the movies she starred in appeared in CCTV''s Super Theater many times, so she was known as the goddess of Zhengda.
Xiang Nan watched her starring role in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and was shocked. Moreover, her appearance in "Spring Is Not a Day for Reading" is also quite stunning and very watchable.
…
"Charles, the heroine of "Spring Is Not a Reading Day" should think about it again." Agent Wilson advised, "Diane Lane is willing to reduce her salary to star."
?Diane Lane was one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood in the 1980s. At the age of thirteen, he was selected by Francis Coppola, the director of the "Godfather" trilogy, to star in "Betta" and "The Outsider".
Unfortunately, subsequent development has been somewhat sluggish. This is also related to her vision in casting. Several big projects have offered her an olive branch.
Even Xiang Nan, who once starred in "Longwei Boy", extended an olive branch to her. But she refused and took on several movies such as "The Desperate Little Mandarin Duck" and "The Fragrance of a Dangerous Woman".
As a result, several movies all lost money, and their reputations were also in shambles.
?Hollywood is the most realistic. No matter how many representative works you have in the past, as long as you make the boss lose money, there will be no place for you here.
?Diane Lane was comparable to Hollywood''s A-listers when she was most popular, but now she is at best a B-lister. Although he is still popular, if there are no more suitable works, she will soon find out about this person.
After all, competition in Hollywood has always been fierce. It’s like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat.
“Diane Lane?!” Xiang Nan frowned, but finally waved his hand.
?Although she is also very suitable for this role, Xiang Nan still feels that Mia Sara is more suitable. After all, the filter of the original work was causing trouble. When he thought of the heroine, Mia Sara appeared in his mind.
"Diane Lane is not bad, but the female lead has already been decided, and there is no role for her. If she is willing to play, let her play the male lead''s sister. That role also has a lot of scenes." Xiang Nan thought about it and said.
“Then I’ll discuss it with her.” The agent nodded.
Subsequently, Diane Lane took over the role of the male protagonist''s sister, and "Spring Is Not a Reading Day", "Top Gun" and "Back to the Future 2" soon began filming.
Xiang Nan himself has also come up with a new project "Lethal Weapon".
??This movie, originally starring Mel Gibson and Danny Groff, tells the story of a pair of police partners who suppress a drug syndicate.
Compared to other police and gangster films, this movie is more realistic and thrilling. Especially the male protagonist, who is crazier than John McClane. He has tried to commit suicide many times, so he got the nickname "Lethal Weapon".
After the film was released, it was well received. Not only did it earn hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, but it also made Mel Gibson famous and officially established a foothold in Hollywood.
That’s why Xiang Nan prepared to shoot this movie in order to continue his myth of unbeaten box office success.
