Chapter 1868 1870【Strategy】


    ?After winning the Best Original Screenplay, "Rain Man" seemed to have its award-winning luck back, and subsequently won the Best Actor Award.


    This also made the scene amazed. Because the competitors he defeated were too strong.


    ?Competing for the best actor include Michael Douglas in "Wall Street", Robin Williams in "Good Morning Annan", and Jack Nicholson in "The Grass"...


    ??These are all well-known actors in Hollywood, and they have all performed to their due level in their respective movies. It''s a pity that Dustin Hoffman was superior in the end.


    Successfully won the Best Actor award for his role as an autistic male protagonist in "Rain Man".


    ?But this is not surprising. The Academy Awards favor offbeat protagonists.


    For example, the mentally ill male protagonist in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo''s Nest", the stuttering king in "The King''s Speech", the split personality heroine in "Black Swan", the mentally broken heroine in "Blue Jasmine", and the heroine in "The Silence of the Lambs" The perverted ogre male protagonist...


    …


    It was a pity that he missed out on the subsequent Best Director Award, which was taken away by Bernardo Bertolucci for "The Last Emperor".


    ?But it doesn’t matter to Xiang Nan, because the director was not chosen by him, but by Paramount Pictures. If he didn''t win the award, it''s not his fault.


    Finally, it’s time for the Best Picture Award.


    The award guests were Michael Douglas and Jodie Foster.


    The two read through the shortlist first. The shortlisted films include "Moonlight", "The Last Emperor", "Glory Days", "Fatal Attraction", "Rain Man", etc., all of which are very promising movies to win the award. .


    The award of this award also attracted the attention of the audience. Everyone was watching the stage with bated breath, and the cameras were pointed at the producers at the right time.


    There is one in front of Xiang Nan, facing his face, recording his facial expressions and projecting them on the big screen in real time.


    Xiang Nan''s expression was very vivid. He clenched his fists and widened his eyes, looking excited and nervous.


    But in fact, he felt calm in his heart. To him, this is just an inconsequential award.


    It’s good to win, but it doesn’t hurt to lose. Anyway, he has so many chances to win the prize that he doesn’t care if it’s just once or a half.


    ?But you still have to act in front of the camera, after all, people like this kind of drama.


    ?When so-and-so received the award, he fell down hard; when so-and-so received the award, he burst into tears; when so-and-so received the award, even his childhood neighbors thanked him... This is worthy of people talking about.


    ?So even though Xiang Nan didn''t care, he still pretended to be nervous.


    Subsequently, Jodie Foster announced the name of the winner—"Rain Man", Charles.


    Xiang Nan immediately walked onto the stage amidst applause and said, "Thank you very much to the judges for their love. I have always said that Hollywood is a place suitable for pursuing dreams.


    Eight years ago, when I first came to Hollywood, I had nothing. Now I have fame, wealth, status and honor.


    I have realized my American dream here, and I also hope that more filmmakers will come to Hollywood to pursue their dreams. Thanks! "


    Xiang Nan’s words won applause from all the audience in the audience and in front of the TV.


    In the 1980s, the American Dream was still very inspiring and persuasive. Many people have succeeded in pursuing their dreams here and gained astonishing wealth, fame and status. Americans are also keen to advocate this matter in order to attract more talents and capital. So they were naturally happy when they heard Xiang Nan say this.


    Xiang Nan is also willing to portray himself as a successful example of the American dream, which will help his development in the United States. After all, starting next year, he will begin to acquire Hollywood giants, which will arouse the vigilance of American society.


    ??After Xiang Nan has established himself as a successful example of the American Dream, opposing him means opposing the American Dream, which means that Americans do not welcome foreign talents and capital.


    It is difficult for foreign talents to integrate into the United States and realize their dreams in the United States, so naturally they will not come. This is certainly not what capital expects.


    So not only will they not oppose Xiang Nan, they will even give him the green light to shape him into a model of the American dream in order to attract more capital and talents.


    Xiang Nan inherited Ji Xiaolan’s talent and Xu Wenqiang’s strategy, so his calculations on this point should not be wrong.


    …


    After the award ceremony, Xiang Nan and Sophie Marceau attended the following party.


    Xiang Nan has become the focus of attention because he won two awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film. All the celebrities and filmmakers present wanted to chat with him and establish friendship in order to start cooperation.


    Xiang Nan also enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight, casually chatted with everyone, and then finalized two investment projects.


    One is "Home Sweet Home" recommended by Ron Howard. This is a family comedy that tells the story of the male protagonist, as the head of the family, who encounters many challenges such as children''s education, personal career, getting along with husband and wife, and relationships with relatives and friends.


    ? Ron Howard was born in an acting family. He began performing on stage at the age of five and directed his first movie in 1977. Although he is not yet successful now. But in the future, he will win the Oscar for Best Director for "A Beautiful Mind".


    ?In addition, his representative works include "Apollo 13", "The Grinch", "The Da Vinci Code", "Angels and Demons", etc. He is a director with high productivity and stable quality.


    This is why Xiang Nan is willing to invest in the movie "Warm Family".


    One is "Cosmic Dragon" invested by Carloco Pictures. Xiang Nan not only agreed to invest, but also accepted the male protagonist''s invitation.


    Because he knew that the movie "Mighty Dragon" was extremely successful at the box office, with a global box office of more than 260 million US dollars. It was one of the most successful commercial films in the 1990s.


    ?However, the investment in this film is also quite large, with an investment of more than 60 million US dollars, setting an investment record in the 1990s. This is also the reason why Carolco Films is seeking investment from all over the world.


    But other film companies don’t know how much potential this movie has at the box office. I heard it was an investment of 60 million US dollars, so they all avoided it.


    After all, the investment in Xiang Nan’s “Ghostbusters 3” was only US$50 million. A $60 million movie is really going to hit the sky!


    Because of this, Xiang Nan just missed it.


    …


    At the party, Xiang Nan also chatted with major directors such as Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.


    Spielberg is very interested in Xiang Nan. Although this young man is young, he is very talented, and every movie he produces is so profitable.


    He couldn''t do this at all, so he proposed that they could cooperate if there was a chance. Xiang Nan''s script and his direction may create an amazing box office miracle.
