Chapter 1877 1879 [Golden Globe Awards]
?In November, "Beetlejuice" directed by Tim Burton, invested by Xiang Nan, and starring Winona Ryder was released.
??This is a comedy with a fantasy color. It tells the story of a couple who became ghosts after a car accident and stayed in their own home and refused to leave. As a result, the house got a new owner and a new family moved into the house.
In order to save their home, the couple specially hired a prankster from the underworld to scare the family away. But I didn''t expect that the master actually fell in love with the daughter of this family...
?In the past, most of the evil movies were about evil and harming people. People are kind, but evil is terrible.
??But "Beetlejuice" does the opposite. The Xins follow the rules, do their duty, and are honest. On the contrary, the people are evil-hearted and bully the Xins and want to drive them out of their homes.
?This setting is very novel. Coupled with the battle between wizards and humans, as well as the love between people in different ways, it is both thrilling and funny, terrifying and touching, so the audience likes it very much.
??The final box office was $73 million, which also made Winona Ryder an instant star. Her innocent and pleasant appearance and extremely spiritual acting skills made everyone in the industry shine.
…
It’s December.
Speed, starring Nan Xiang and Courtney Cox, is officially on the Christmas season.
??This movie is a thrilling and extremely hot action movie. It tells the story of Jack, a special police officer, who was retaliated by criminals after stopping an explosion.
? He ??placed the bomb on the bus. Once it started, the speed of the bus could not be reduced to 50 miles, otherwise the car would explode. At the critical moment, Jack had to go into danger alone and board the bus to detonate the explosives.
The story of finally successfully rescuing all the passengers, capturing the criminals, and successfully gaining love.
Xiang Nan has played many police officers before, such as Chen Jiaju in "Police Story", John McClane in "Die Hard", Martin Rigg in "Lethal Weapon"... In the eyes of the audience, he is a professional police officer. .
?However, this "Speed ??of Life and Death" still brings a lot of freshness to the audience. It has a tight rhythm, climaxes one after another, and is full of suspense. You won''t be able to breathe until you watch it to the end.
The level of tension and excitement is higher than that of "Die Hard" and "Lethal Weapon", which naturally makes the audience hooked.
?Hence, the box office of "Speed" is really good, with a box office of US$180 million in North America, further consolidating Xiang Nan''s position as a top star.
Furthermore, he has played the role of a policeman three times, and the three roles are all different. Xiang Nan''s acting skills have also been further demonstrated and won widespread recognition in the industry.
…
"Charles, you are so awesome. In the past six months, every one of your movies has been a hit. You can earn at least 100 million US dollars." Halle Berry said to Xiang Nan with envy.
?She made a movie and her salary was only half a million dollars. He is exhausted to death all year round and earns at most two million US dollars, which is completely incomparable to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly when he heard this.
? 100 million US dollars, to him, is a huge underestimate.
He earned almost 3 billion US dollars a year in 1988. In particular, the stock prices of high-tech companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Cisco, Oracle, and Adobe have soared in the past year, causing the stocks he holds to increase in value significantly. They have now increased several times.
"Don''t be envious. As long as you follow me, I will make you rich." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Hearing what he said, Halle Berry was naturally excited and hugged Xiang Nan tightly, "Then I will rely on you from now on."
Xiang Nan nodded.
…
In January 2019, "The New Father-in-law" was released.
?This movie is both a romance film and a comedy. It tells the story of a daughter who accuses her father and faces various embarrassments when her daughter gets married. It is both funny and heartwarming.
Hence the box office performance of this movie was also very good. The North American box office grossed US$89 million, giving Xiang Nan another good start.
In January, the Golden Globe Awards were also officially held. Both Xiang Nan and Halle Berry specially returned to the United States to participate.
?On the one hand, "Rain Man" won so many awards at the Golden Globe Awards last year, so in return, Xiang Nan always wanted to attend and show his respect.
On the one hand, "Dead Poets Society" is the favorite to win awards this year, and has been shortlisted for four awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Director.
?Although Xiang Nanlianzhuang’s chances of winning the best film and best screenplay are not great, it is still worth a try.
Xiang Nan and Halle Berry walked the red carpet together.
??The two are so talented and beautiful that they killed a lot of photographers'' films instantly.
"Charles, your production of "Dead Poets Society" was shortlisted for four awards. How many awards do you think you can win?" The host asked with a smile in the interview area at the end of the red carpet.
"If possible, of course I hope to take them all." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But I also know that the opponents I face are relatively strong. So I still keep a humble heart and I will like whatever you give me."
“That’s so modest. In my opinion, you will definitely not come back empty-handed today.” The host smiled.
“Thank you.” Xiang Nan nodded.
“When will the filming of “Cosmic Dragon”, which you and Miss Berry collaborated on, be completed?” the host asked curiously.
"I guess March will be the time. This is a science fiction blockbuster, with an investment of up to 60 million US dollars, so we shot it more carefully and more delicately." Xiang Nan nodded.
"I hope I can see your masterpiece soon." The host nodded, "By the way, "The Order of the Eagle" starring Jackie Chan was released last month and the box office was only 8 million US dollars. What do you think?"
Xiang Nan was stunned. He really didn’t know about this.
?It’s only eight million US dollars, which is indeed not much.
“It’s normal, everyone loses sometimes.” Xiang Nan then said, “It’s normal for Hollywood to have its ups and downs, and no one can guarantee that he will always win. I believe in Jie Ji’s strength, he will definitely be able to stand up again.”
“But you never seem to fail.” The host said with a smile.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "Maybe I am very lucky and have God''s blessing."
…
?Entering the awards hall, Xiang Nan and Halle Berry took their seats in the front row.
Subsequently, the award ceremony officially began, and many awards were awarded one after another.
Xiang Nan didn''t care about this. He was discussing with Nicole Kidman about the sequel to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” is such a hit, it’s impossible not to make a sequel.
Xiang Nan has already thought about the story of the sequel. It is expected to start shooting in April or May and be released in January next year.
?Nicole Kidman naturally welcomes the sequel.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" gave her the confidence to become a Hollywood first-line movie star. She was the only heroine in a masterpiece with a box office of 130 million US dollars. All the light converged on her, leaving her alone to be graced.
In the sequel, she is still the heroine, still shining brightly. How could she miss such a good role?
“Well, after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, let’s find time to talk slowly.” Xiang Nan said in a low voice.
?Nicole Kidman heard this and nodded.
