Chapter 1888
After hearing Xiang Nan''s explanation, Zi Mei lost most of her anger, but she still returned the check to him, "But I don''t want to take your money and make me feel like I''m out to sell. I want to use money, I You will work hard to earn it.”
"I saw it right, you are really different from other women." Xiang Nan nodded, "Well, how about I make you a star?"
“Of course that’s good.” Ye Zimei nodded immediately.
? Xiang Nan has always been known as a golden sage, a wise man, and he has mentored people like Jackie Chan, Wang Jing, Lin Zhengying, Zhong Chuhong, etc.
??If he can help him, then he will become a red star just around the corner.
By then, not only will her film salary be close to one million Hong Kong dollars, but various commercial performances will also be very profitable. In a few years, she will be able to earn tens of millions of dollars.
"However, let me make it clear first that it is not so easy to be popular. A small success depends on support, a big success depends on life, and a strong promotion will disappear. So whether you can be popular or not depends on God''s will." Xiang Nan reminded again, lest he fail to be popular when the time comes. No more complaints.
?Ye Zimei nodded, "Don''t worry, I know. This business is about three parts ability, six parts luck, and one part support from noble people. If I didn''t have that fate, I wouldn''t blame anyone."
“That’s good.” Xiang Nan nodded.
…
After returning to the company, Xiang Nan helped Zi Mei speak.
"You want to praise her?" Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Mr. Ning, you and her... hehe... you are really lucky."
??Ye Zimei has a good figure, and all the men in Hong Kong know it. But Ye Zimei looks slutty on the outside, but is very traditional in her heart. Therefore, so many men try to take advantage of her, but in the end they are all in vain. They don''t want to end up being overtaken by Xiang Nan.
"Okay, stop talking about this." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "In my opinion, Ye Zimei is suitable for the sexual path, but she can''t be too sexual. She can only play on the sidelines. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Wang Jing nodded, "Just like Hu Jin in Shaw Brothers, only the face and voice are present, and the rest are all replaced by substitutes."
Hu Jin is the favorite of director Li Hanxiang, and helped him film a series of films such as "The Romance of the Phoenix", "Two Beauties in the Golden Vase", "Love with Women", "Sexy Dogs and Horses", "The Interesting History of Warlords", and "Ghosts Calling Chung". Romance film.
?However, although Hu Jin looks elegant, she is also traditional at heart, so Li Hanxiang only used her expression and voice, and used a substitute for everything else.
?In this way, although Hu Jin is famous, he is actually very clean.
Xiang Nan gave a thumbs up, admiring Wang Jing''s understanding.
?Wang Jing also laughed.
…
Xiang Nan stayed in Xiangjiang for a week and then returned to Hollywood.
?At this time, "Edward Scissorhands" starring Johnny Depp and Sophie Marceau is being released.
??This movie has good reputation and box office. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is indeed more likely to impress people.
??In the end, the film grossed US$86 million at the North American box office, and was also hailed as a classic romance film.
The media even claimed that if this movie was released before "The End of Love", it would definitely have a big impact on "The End of Love". It shows how popular this movie is.
The popularity of "Edward Scissorhands" also made Sophie Marceau famous in Hollywood. The acting skills and box office appeal have been recognized by the industry.
Xiang Nan congratulated her, "Congratulations, Sophie, you performed so well. Maybe you will have a place at the Oscars next year."
“Thank you.” Sophie Marceau nodded.
"Edward Scissorhands" has achieved both word-of-mouth and box office success, which also makes her very happy. Although she doesn''t care about the box office, she also knows that the higher the box office, the better. This means that more audiences love her performance.???? And this is undoubtedly something to be proud of for an actor.
She did not forget the well digger when she was drinking water, which naturally made her very grateful to Xiang Nan.
…
For the next period of time, Xiang Nan did not prepare any new films and spent most of his time at home with Cong Shan as she waited for the birth.
His medical skills are excellent, no worse than those of professional doctors. With him by your side, you can ensure the safety of the fetus.
??And his cooking skills are also good, and the dishes he cooks are no worse than those of professional chefs.
? Cong Shan suffers from severe nausea, and often vomits whatever she eats. The vomiting almost makes her feel psychologically affected, and she feels nauseated when she hears eating.
?So Xiang Nan had to cook delicious food for her in various ways, including three meals, snacks, and snacks. Each meal was different every day, and it was so delicious that Cong Shan was willing to take a few bites.
Under his careful care, Cong Shan’s mother and son are naturally healthy.
The careful companionship for so many days also made Cong Shan fall in love with Xiang Nan even deeper.
…
?At the same time, in August, "Crocodile Dundee 3" was released.
??The first two films of this movie grossed US$300 million and US$200 million at the box office respectively, and were huge hits around the world. But the third part is already at the end of its game and is no longer as strong as before.
The North American box office is only over 60 million US dollars, and the global box office is just over 100 million US dollars. Although it was still a hit, it was no longer amazing.
This is not surprising. Even for classics such as "Back to the Future," the box office of the third film is incomparable to the box office of the first film.
In September, "The Detective 2" will be released next. This movie still takes the route of making people laugh until they die, and carries the spoof to the end, so it did well at the box office.
??The box office in North America alone is as high as 86 million U.S. dollars. For a comedy film with a cost of less than 20 million, this box office can be said to be quite good.
? Leslie Nielsen has cemented her status as an A-list comedy star, unique among Hollywood veterans. It''s really not easy for others to take his place.
…
At the end of September, a very sensational thing happened in Hollywood.
?That is Sony''s announcement to acquire Columbia Pictures for US$3.4 billion, and will also assume its debt of US$1.6 billion.
As soon as the news came out, the whole bank was shocked.
On the one hand, it’s because of Sony’s sky-high price. You must know that in 1984, when Murdoch acquired Fox Pictures, one of the six major Hollywood giants, he only spent US$500 million.
?Five years later, Sony’s price for Columbia Pictures has reached $5 billion. I have to say something: I was taken advantage of.
On the one hand, it’s because of Sony’s identity. Although Murdoch acquired Fox, Murdoch is white. More importantly, Murdoch became an American citizen, so Fox Pictures is still an American company.
?But Sony is a Japanese company, so when Columbia Pictures was acquired by it, it became Japanese-controlled and no longer belonged to the United States.
What’s more serious is that from the 1970s to the 1980s, Japan’s economy has been soaring, and its cars, home appliances, electronic products, etc. are sold all over the world, even squeezing the U.S. market.
Therefore, Americans have always been worried that their country will be captured by the Japanese sooner or later. Therefore, when faced with Sony''s acquisition of Colombia, Americans were very frightened and angry.
