Chapter 1858 1860【Responsibility】


    In December, "Back to the Future 3" was officially released.


    ??This is the final chapter of the "Back to the Future" trilogy, still starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd.


    Because the first two films caused a strong response in the United States after they were released, this third film was already highly anticipated by movie fans when it just restarted filming.


    After it was released, a large number of movie fans flocked to the cinema to buy tickets. Because there were so many people buying, it was a strange thing that even the ticket machine stopped working due to overheating.


    ??In the end, the film earned US$140 million at the box office in North America and US$270 million at the global box office. It''s slightly down compared to the first and second movies, but it''s still a big-selling movie.


    ?But it ended like this, which made the audience very reluctant to let go, and the film company was even more reluctant to let go. After all, the trilogy was such a hit, it would be a shame to end it like this.


    Xiang Nan can definitely continue filming. Anyway, "Back to the Future" can travel through time and space at will, to ancient times, to the future, to the end of the world... We can go back and forth, and the story has no end at all.


    ?However, Xiang Nan said that "Back to the Future 3" is the end, drawing a perfect end to the series, and will not continue filming.


    …


    "The story of "Back to the Future 3" has ended, and I have not considered launching a sequel." Xiang Nan said with a smile when accepting talk show host Larry King.


    “Why don’t you think about it again?” Larry King asked curiously, “I think the third part’s box office reputation is still very good. If we make another sequel, it will definitely be a hit.”


    “That’s true.” Xiang Nan nodded, “However, I think a responsible filmmaker should not only see temporary benefits.


    The "Back to the Future" trilogy is already perfect. If they continue to shoot, although they can make money, the story will definitely not be as exciting as the first three films, which will destroy the classic in everyone''s mind.


    ?So, "Back to the Future" will not make a sequel, just like "Ghostbusters 3" will be the last part of the series. "


    “Then you’re going to lose tens of millions of dollars in revenue, and you don’t care?” Larry King asked doubtfully.


    ?Tens of millions of dollars, which was definitely an astronomical figure in 1988. Even for Hollywood''s A-list stars, their salary is only US$5 million. Tens of millions of dollars, potentially their lifetime earnings.


    “I think it’s more important to preserve a good memory for the fans.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.


    Hearing what he said, Larry King was a little in awe.


    The audience in the audience and in front of the TV were naturally even more moved.


    ?In order to preserve the good memories in the hearts of movie fans, Xiang Nan is willing to give up tens of millions of dollars in profits. This is really not something that everyone can do.


    Many filmmakers make bad movies just for money. They use their box office appeal and the fans'' trust in them to make a lot of bad movies so that fans can support them.


    ?Fans paid real money, only to see a bunch of bad movies, which is naturally not worth it, and they also complain about it. So Xiang Nan said this, which moved them very much.


    Thinking about the films Xiang Nan has made, they are basically all well-received works and there are no shoddy and bad films. This makes everyone believe more and more that Xiang Nan is a filmmaker with ethics, ideals and principles. Produced by Xiang Nan, it must be a high-quality product!


    “Charles, I’m really touched when you say that.” Larry King nodded, “I hope there will be more filmmakers like you in Hollywood.”


    "Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded, and then said with a smile, "Actually, I think Hollywood filmmakers all have the same idea as me, and they all hope to make good movies."


    “Well, I hope they can learn more from you.” Larry King nodded.


    During the Christmas period, the movie "Leap of Innocence" was officially released.


    ??This movie stars Mel Gibson, Pierce Brosnan and Meryl Streep. It tells the story of a single mother and her son looking for true love. It is romantic and touching.


    When this movie first started, it wasn’t taken too seriously.


    On the one hand, most young people go to the theater to watch movies, and this kind of story about single mothers is really far away from them; on the other hand, the story itself is also a bit cliché.


    Hence, the industry is not very optimistic about this movie, thinking that it would be good if the movie could get at most US$40 million at the box office. Even investor Paramount Pictures thinks so.


    Unexpectedly, this movie struck a chord with American audiences, and it became a box office hit after it was released. The single-day box office exceeded 10 million U.S. dollars, and the final North American box office reached 140 million U.S. dollars.


    Such results shocked the entire industry.


    Because from the planning to the release of "Leap of Innocence", the industry has not seen any signs that it will be a big hit. But it is such a drama that has achieved good results that many commercial blockbusters have not achieved. It is really surprising.


    For a time, the industry began to admire Xiang Nan''s talent even more.


    …


    In 1988, Xiang Nan continued filming "Ghostbusters 3".


    ?At the same time, he also launched new projects.


    One is "The Last Days", one is "When Harry Met Sally", one is "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and the other is "Edward Scissorhands".


    "The Last Love" is a classic Hollywood love story. It tells the story of the male protagonist still guarding the heroine after his death. It is romantic and touching.


    "When Harry Met Sally" is also a classic romance film, telling the love story of Harry and Sally from breaking up on bad terms, to getting to know each other again, and then falling in love.


    Feng Xiaogang''s classic work "See You or Not Separate" borrowed the structure of this film.


    "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is a comic released by American Phantom Animation Studio in 1984, and began to be animated and broadcast in 1987. Xiang Nan bought the film adaptation rights of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" early on and is now preparing to make it into a movie.


    When "When Harry Met Sally", he wanted Tom Hanks and Michelle Pfeiffer to star; in "The Last Day Out", he wanted Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Starring Demi Moore,


    As for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", he plans to invite four martial arts masters from Xiangjiang to play the role of the turtles in leather suits. Coupled with the fact that Nicole Kidman plays reporter April, I believe it will have a good box office.


    ?As for "Edward Scissorhands", Xiang Nan will be starred by Johnny Depp and Sophie Marceau. The original heroine was Winona Ryder, who also became friends with Johnny Depp because of this movie.


    ?But Xiang Nan knew that their relationship was in a mess in the end. It also seriously affected Winona Ryder''s life and career, causing her to collapse for a time.


    From the most promising and spiritual actress in Hollywood, she was reduced to a pitiful person who no one cares about.


    ?Hence Xiang Nan considered changing his partner to Johnny Depp.
