Chapter 1893 1895【Return to Xiangjiang】


    October, "Dangerous Days" starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Robin Williams was officially launched.


    This is a thriller film adapted from Stephen King’s original work of the same name. It tells the story of a well-known writer who had a car accident and was taken into his home by an enthusiastic book fan.


    As a result, the book fans discovered that their favorite character had been written to death by the author, so they became black and began to torture the author, asking him to modify the ending of the novel...


    ? Stephen King is a well-known horror novelist in the United States. His style focuses on creating a horror atmosphere and brings fear deep into the readers'' souls. Therefore, he is known as the master of horror.


    ?His representative works include "The Shawshank Redemption", "Carrie", "The Green Mile", "The Dark Tower", "Pet Sematary", "The Shining" and so on.


    ?However, because his novels focus so much on creating atmosphere, although they are loved by readers, they are difficult to perfectly present on the screen. Therefore, movies adapted from his novels often do not have high box office.


    ?Just like Gu Long''s novels, although they are deeply loved by martial arts fans, they are enough to keep pace with Jin Yong. But because his novels emphasize artistic conception, it is difficult to be adapted into film and television dramas, so their impact is much smaller.


    ?However, "Ten Days in Danger" broke this routine and took in more than 80 million US dollars at the box office in North America alone.


    On the one hand, this is due to the high box office appeal of Michelle Pfeiffer and Robin Williams; on the other hand, it is due to the solid script of the movie, which completes the suspense in the classic "two people in one room" cramped format. There are a lot of wonderful stories, and it successfully creates the terrifying image of Anne, a crazy book lover.


    ??Coupled with the fact that Michelle Pfeiffer plays the villain for the first time, the darkened heroine is evil, beautiful and sexual, which is a breakthrough for the audience, so it is very popular.


    …


    In the same month, Xiang Nan finished filming "Speed ??2" and then took time to return to Hong Kong.


    After returning to Xiangjiang, he first went to see Shanshan.


    “How are you doing, how have you been in the past year?” he asked with a smile.


    Shanshan smiled and said, "It''s pretty good. Director Wang arranged for me to film three movies, one is "The Husband Co., Ltd.", one is "The Master of Catching Husbands", and the other is "The Supreme Talent", which gave me a lot of experience. Got some fame.”


    Xiang Nan smiled and said, "That''s good, don''t be anxious, take your time. You are a newcomer, and you are already good at acting. Don''t be too eager for quick success, or you will not go far."


    Shanshan nodded, "I know, I''m actually very satisfied. Filming here is much better than in a bar."


    "Don''t compare like that, you still have to pursue something." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "If you have anything to do, you can go to Director Wang. I have told him to take care of you."


    “Yeah.” Shanshan said movedly, “Brother, you’ve been so kind to me, how should I repay you?”


    "Don''t always say this, there is nothing to repay in return." Xiang Nan waved his hands and smiled, "You can live your own life well, which is the best reward for me."


    “Brother, you are such a good person.” Shanshan was even more moved when she heard what he said.


    Xiang Nan smiled and then handed her a box, "I brought you a gift from the United States. Let''s see if you like it."


    Shanshan took it and opened it, but it was a crystal hourglass.


    "The time of each of us is limited. Before you know it, time has passed slowly, and you can never get it back." Xiang Nan explained, "I give you this hourglass because I hope you will Cherish the time and live this life well.”


    "Yeah." After hearing what he said, Shanshan nodded heavily, "Brother, I will listen to you, cherish your time, and work hard."


    “Okay.” Xiang Nan smiled.


    …????Subsequently, Xiang Nan went to see Wang Jing again.


    He first looked at the company''s financial report.


    ?This year, Zhen Kung Fu Pictures’ performance has remained impressive.


    The released movies such as "God of Gamblers", "The Gambler", "Ghost Co., Ltd.", "The Supreme Talent", "Master of Catch Me", "Modern Tathagata Palm", "The Dragon in Prison" etc. all have good box office performance. good.


    Especially "Liao Zhai Yan Tan" starring Ye Zi Mei, which sold more than 14 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, and made Ye Zi Mei an instant hit, becoming the leading **** star in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, more popular than Chen Yalun and Chung Chu Hong. Even stronger.


    ?Especially her figure, she was so popular that milk tea shops took advantage of her popularity and named the milk tea after her nickname. It was so popular that it became a legend for a while.


    "Yes, Director Wang, you did a good job." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "I''m very satisfied."


    ?Although the income of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars is nothing to him, it is still a good thing if the company can make money.


    "Thank you, Mr. Ning. If you do things openly, I will also be loyal." Wang Jing also smiled.


    After Xiang Nan handed over the company to him, he basically didn’t interfere anymore and he took care of everything. Such trust also moved Wang Jing very much.


    ?Although he likes to be provocative when filming and looks a bit mean-spirited, he is actually very upright and loyal. When Xiangjiang Cinema was in decline, only Wang Jing still had a job, and he supported a large number of filmmakers. This is all his merit.


    ? Even Ann Hui, who had always been unhappy with him, received his funding and made two films, "Night and Fog in Tin Shui Wai" and "Day and Night in Tin Shui Wai".


    These two films are both literary films and are destined not to be blockbuster hits. Therefore, Xu Anhua solicited sponsorship for a long time, but failed to find investors. In the end, Wang Jing helped her pay for it, and if it hadn''t been for Xu Anhua''s words, the outside world wouldn''t have known that this director, who was often scolded by them as "shit, shit", actually had an artistic heart.


    "Okay." Xiang Nan smiled and gave the remaining five million dollars to Wang Jing, "Director Wang, I have to thank you for taking care of Shanshan''s affairs in the future."


    "Mr. Ning, you''d better take this money back. Miss He has learned well now and lives a very self-disciplined and healthy life. I haven''t paid much attention to her. I have this money, it''s really hot." Wang Jing refused. road.


    Before, when Shanshan first came to Xiangjiang, she was really smelly. I arrive late for class and leave early, I don’t care about my studies, I also like to drink and go to bars, etc...


    ?However, in the past two years, she has changed her ways. She takes good care of herself and works very hard and seriously. Wang Jing didn''t even care about her.


    ?Hence, Wang Jing felt it was too hot to accept any more money from Xiang Nan.


    "Here it is, just take it." Xiang Nan smiled and said.


    ?Five million dollars may seem like a lot, but to him, it’s just a drop in the bucket. For such a small amount of money, he can keep an eye on Shanshan, which is definitely worth it to him.


    After all, making money is really not difficult for him.


    ?Wang Jing had no choice but to nod, "Mr. Ning, don''t worry, I will definitely take care of Miss He for you."


    “Okay.” Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
