Chapter 1845 1847【Cindy Crawford】


    As soon as the "Die Hard 3" project came out, it passed the review and preparations began immediately.


    ?As for actors, Xiang Nan also chose Samuel L. Jackson as his partner, which made him unbelievable for a time.


    ?Although Jackson graduated with a bachelor''s degree in drama, his black identity made it difficult for him to get ahead in the American theater world.


    After graduation, it took ten years without a decent role. I can only act in dramas, walk around, and live in poverty. It wasn''t until 1991 that he won the Best Supporting Actor at the Cannes Film Festival for his role in "Jungle Fever" and began to attract attention in the industry.


    ?In 1994, he starred in "Pulp Fiction" and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Only then did he finally start to become popular and become a Hollywood star.


    ?So now, he is actually still acting in small roles, acting in dramas, struggling to survive on the small screen, and living a very miserable life.


    It is precisely for this reason that when Xiang Nan invited him to star in "Die Hard 3", and the role was no less than that of the male protagonist, he was stunned by this god.


    After the outside world heard the news, they also reported one after another, praising Samuel Jackson''s good luck.


    “Working with Charles, he’s like winning the lottery.”


    “It is no exaggeration to say that he is the luckiest guy in the New York entertainment industry.”


    “Charles always surprises us, and his casting seems to have never failed. Let’s look forward to Jackson’s performance.”


    Media reports made Samuel Jackson go from unknown to one of the most high-profile stars in Hollywood overnight.


    The reason was just because Xiang Nan wanted to choose him as his partner in the new film. This also reflects Xiang Nan''s power in Hollywood to a certain extent.


    …


    The filming of "Die Hard 3" then began.


    ?Although John faces many dangers in the film and seems to be in a desperate situation, Xiang Nan''s life was actually very comfortable during the filming.


    Because Hollywood action movies use more special effects and stunts. For example, when shooting an explosion scene, the actors perform in front of a green screen, and then cut out the images for special effects later. Not only is it not dangerous, it is actually very interesting.


    ? Comparatively, Xiangjiang film technology is backward. To shoot such an explosion scene, it is a real explosion, and the actors have to perform in it. The danger is evident.


    ??Chow Yun-fat and Wu Yusen were filming "Hot Detective", and in the final scene where the hospital exploded, he almost died in the flames. Therefore, the two never collaborated again.


    In between filming, Xiang Nan mainly participates in some charity activities, donates money and materials, and creates his own handsome and kind-hearted persona. His life is quite fulfilling.


    ?In addition, while filming in New York, Xiang Nan also met Cindy Crawford, one of the top five supermodels in the future.


    ?Of course, to be precise, she actually posted it backwards.


    Cindy Crawford was born in 1966 and started modeling at the age of sixteen. Within a few years, she had become one of the most famous models in Chicago. However, she was not willing to stop there, so she came to New York to develop in 1986.


    Xiang Nan and she met at a cocktail party held by the New York entertainment circle. As a supermodel, Cindy Crawford is beautiful and has a good figure, so she is very popular among guests.


    Many people gathered around her to show their courtesy, but Crawford set his sights on Xiang Nan.


    She knew that all the guests present together were not as valuable as Xiang Nan alone. So she took the initiative to ask Xiang Nan to dance, and then asked Xiang Nan to take her back to the hotel on the pretext of being drunk.


    Although Xiang Nan sent her back to the hotel, he did not follow her up that day. This is done out of an abundance of caution. You should know that a big tree attracts the wind. For a superstar like him and a leading producer, there are people who admire him and want to hug him; there are also people who are jealous and hate him and want to drag him down from the altar.


    ?Over the years, Xiang Nan has suffered a lot, both openly and secretly.


    It’s just that he is cautious, keeps himself clean, and lives in seclusion, so it is not easy for others to deal with him.


    ?That''s right, although Xiang Nan has a richer love history, compared to other Hollywood stars, he is really self-disciplined enough.


    ?Hollywood is crazier than him, more depraved than him, and more messy than him.


    ?For example, NWA, which became famous through rap, often holds parties and invites hundreds of beauties to attend. And this is not unusual in Hollywood.


    ? Xiang Nan would naturally not have anything happen to her easily before he found out the details of Crawford. Without this caution, he would have rolled over countless times.


    ?Although Cindy Crawford was a little disappointed, she also knew that haste makes waste in this kind of thing, so she didn’t dwell on it anymore.


    ?A few days later, Xiang Nan found out the details of Crawford and tried to contact her for a while. He didn''t find any big problems with her, so he got together with her.


    I have to say that a supermodel is a supermodel. Not only is she beautiful and has a good figure, but more importantly, her clothes are also good. It''s just a clothes rack or a sack, and it can look like a catwalk, which brings Xiang Nan a lot of happiness.


    ?Of course, he reciprocated the favor and agreed to help Cindy Crawford prepare a role in his movie.


    In fact, being a famous model is far less satisfying than being a star and making money.


    ?It seems that even though Crawford was busy for a year, walking in shows, shooting covers, and accepting advertisements, he still couldn''t make a million dollars in a year.


    In comparison, stars like Michelle Pfeiffer, Kim Cattrall, and Mia Sara all earn more than $5 million a year.


    ??More importantly, they can receive a large amount of copyright fees every year for the movies they star in. They range from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands.


    And no matter how many covers Crawford shoots, the copyright still belongs to the magazine. Even if she writes an autobiography in the future, if she wants to quote some pictures, she will have to buy the copyright from a magazine first.


    ?Hence, models all hope to develop into the film and television industry. The film and television industry also likes these beauties very much, and many artists are models. Such as Halle Berry, Jennifer Connelly, Charlize Theron, Megan Fox and so on.


    …


    In May, the Cannes Film Festival opened.


    ?Carol Bouguet participated in this film festival with her starring film "Fallen Angel", and Giuseppe Tornadore with his directed "Cinema Paradiso".


    These two movies are both related to Xiang Nan, one was written by him, and the other was invested by him. Therefore, although he did not appear in Cannes, the media resolutely reported on him many times.


    Although he is not in Cannes, Cannes still has his legend.


    Then news came that both films had been unanimously recognized by film critics and successfully shortlisted for the award.


    In the end, "Cinema Paradiso" won the Palme d''Or and "Fallen Angels" won the Grand Jury Prize. Both films were successful.


    ?Especially Carole Bouquet, who is not only the star of "Fallen Angel", but also the producer of this film. With this movie, she also realized the transformation from an idol to a powerful actor, making everyone pay attention to her other talents besides her appearance.
