Chapter 1855 1857【French Rose】
After "RoboCop", "Lethal Weapon 2" starring Xiang Nan, Danny Groff, Joe Pesci and Demi Moore was also officially released.
Because it is also a police movie, the box office of "Lethal Weapon 2" was affected by "RoboCop" and dropped a bit when it was first released.
?But soon, it once again won recognition in the industry with its ultra-high quality.
“Although the plot of the film is somewhat absurd, the scenes of the two protagonists laughing and cursing, as well as the action and gun battle scenes have continued the level of the previous film, making the audience happy to watch it.” "Film Critics Association" magazine commented.
""Lethal Weapon 2" is quite exciting as a sequel. It basically continues the hot scenes and humor of the first episode, and it is also an upgrade compared to the previous one. The rivalry between the police detective partners Charles and Danny Glover He is also becoming more and more skilled, and the chase and explosion scenes in the movie also make the audience hooked." "Los Angeles Times" commented.
Coupled with Xiang Nan’s box office appeal, “Lethal Weapon 2” was a box office hit. In the end, the North American box office revenue was US$140 million.
Such results are obviously much better than "RoboCop".
…
During the period when "Lethal Weapon 2" was in theaters, Lizhi, as an assistant, had the honor to accompany Xiang Nan in promoting it.
?Witnessing with her own eyes how well-known American talk show hosts interviewed him diligently; how tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans waited day and night wherever he might appear... she couldn''t help but feel awe for Xiang Nan.
She had studied in the United States after all, but she knew how racist and arrogant those foreigners were. Therefore, the fact that Xiang Nan is so popular in the United States is really impressive in her opinion, and she can''t help but admire him.
?And they already live together, and once the relationship comes, it will naturally fall into place.
…
In the second half of 1987, Xiang Nan embarked on several more projects.
The first one is "Leap to Innocence". This is a comedy about a single mother looking for true love with her baby.
??The highlight of this movie is that this child is actually a genius. He can speak as soon as he is born, and he also has his own ideas. He is a kid and a devil.
One is "Honey, I Shrunk the Children". This is a science fiction comedy about a Frankenstein who accidentally shrinks the children, so the children embark on an exciting and thrilling journey...
??This is a quite classic science fiction comedy. It was broadcast many times on CCTV Channel 6 back then. Xiang Nan still remembers the plot...
One is "Dead Poets Society". This is an art film that tells the story of a teacher who broke the school''s rigid teaching model in the 1950s and led students to learn to understand, grasp and enjoy life.
This movie is a classic, and Robin Williams'' performance can be said to be flawless. Even Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman believed that he could not act better than him.
Hence, shooting of three films began immediately.
"Legend of Innocence" stars Mel Gibson, Pierce Brosnan and Meryl Streep.
?Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly, Macaulay Culkin and Jake Gyllenhaal.
"Dead Poets Society" stars Robin Williams, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, Brooke Shields, etc.
…
? Xiang Nan himself began to prepare for "Ghostbusters 3".
Because Bruce Willis, Kevin Costner, Pierce Brosnan and others have become Hollywood stars, it is a bit difficult to assemble them.
Xiang Nan also needs to replace a new group of team members, and also needs to replace the female lead. But it’s not Lizhi, but the French actress Sophie Marceau.
Xiang Nan was lucky enough to meet her at the Cannes Film Festival this time, and she was really amazing. Her face, body, and temperament are all perfect. No wonder she is known as the Rose of France.
So Xiang Nan was ready to send an invitation to her.
After learning about the news that "Ghostbusters 3" was being filmed, the young people in Hollywood went crazy and sent their resumes to Xiang Nan.
Cooperating with Xiang Nan is the best opportunity for them to become famous.
Because the movie can not only sell well and help them gain popularity, but more importantly, it can help them get to know Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan is one of the most emotional filmmakers in Hollywood. Almost all of his movies are made for friends.
?For example, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Michael Fox, etc., all of them have collaborated with Xiang Nan many times.
?Everyone in Hollywood knows that as long as they have a good relationship with Xiang Nan, they will have countless starring roles. In this case, who wouldn''t want to cooperate more with Xiang Nan.
After Xiang Nan screened, he finally selected Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Denzel Washington and Robert Downey Jr.
Subsequently, the movie was officially shot.
…
"Ghostbusters 3" is the final work in this series.
?However, if the response is good, there may be a spin-off movie in the future. After all, Xiang Nan has already structured the world of "Ghostbusters". In the future, we can definitely shoot some prequels, sequels, spin-offs, etc.
?Just like "Terminator", George Lucas has already structured the world and can create based on it.
As the conclusion of the trilogy, Xiang Nan also crafted the script with great care.
He designed a witch with high magic power in this film, who was played by Sophie Marceau. She has been around for thousands of years and appears many times throughout human history.
In the West, she is Lilith, the goddess of the night. In the East, she is the Queen Mother of the West, the **** of dissimilarity. In the Americas, she is Discatlipoca, the **** of the night...
She was sealed away by an ancient exorcist until she was freed, and then prepared to rule the world again. So, the protagonist leads a new team, and with the help of the ancient exorcist, the witch is finally sealed again...
?In this movie, Xiang Nan continues to expand the setting, extending the history of exorcists/ghost hunters to the ancient times and the barbaric era.
?Furthermore, he also hinted in the film that many ancient sages were exorcists, such as Mozi, Aristotle, Zhang Heng, Leonardo da Vinci, Bodhidharma, Newton, Zhang Sanfeng, Tesla...
?In this way, the world view of "Ghostbusters" will be more grand and naturally more attractive.
Xiang Nan is planning to wait for the future. After he acquires Marvel, he will let it take over the creation of comics. By then, it might become popular, and he would make double money.
…
"Ghostbusters" then officially started filming in August.
?At the same time, "The Good Chef" starring Jackie Chan was also officially launched. In addition, the novel "Dances with Wolves" written by Michael Blake was also officially launched by Random House under the recommendation of Xiang Nan.
