Chapter 1909 1911【Lethal Weapon 3】
The movie released in February is the fantasy romance film "The Last Day" directed by the great director Francis Coppola.
?In the 1970s, Francis Coppola became an instant hit with "The Godfather" and became the most popular director in Hollywood.
When he is most popular, he can be said to be the most popular one in Hollywood. George Lucas got the funding for "Star Wars" thanks to Coppola''s introduction.
?However, flowers are not as red as a hundred days. Entering the 1980s, Coppola actually made several unpopular works. The box office and reputation were not satisfactory, which led to a decline in popularity.
Even though the release of "The Godfather Part III" in 1990 restored some of the decline, it can be seen to the naked eye that he has begun to pass out. In fact, "400 Years of Drama" was the last blockbuster movie he ever directed. After that, he basically didn''t produce any good works.
However, this will not affect his status in the circle.
After the release of "400 Years of Love", it caused a huge sensation.
?On the one hand, the story of the vampire Dracula is very popular in the European and American world, and there are very few people who have never heard of it. He has always shown a negative image to others, evil, depraved, cold, and ruthless.
However, in "400 Years Later", the image of Count Dracula has undergone a 180-degree turn. Far from being the incarnation of evil and depravity, he was once a loyal believer in God, fighting for Him in both north and south, destroying pagans for Him, and spreading His glory.
Unexpectedly, he was betrayed by God. His most beloved woman could not receive His protection, so he threw himself into the arms of the devil and cursed himself to live on blood. Moreover, after four hundred years, his love for his wife remained unchanged and remained the same.
?This brand-new setting is both fresh and in line with the audience’s aesthetics, which naturally makes them dazzled.
On the one hand, Francis Coppola is a great director after all. Under his direction, "400 Years of Love" not only has a relaxed and moderate rhythm, but also combines virtual and real scenes. Under his guidance, the actors'' acting skills have also been brought to their fullest. It makes this movie so infectious.
As a result, the film received a good reputation and box office. In the end, it took in a box office of 82 million US dollars in North America alone. Globally, the box office reached 210 million US dollars. It is considered a movie Very successful movie.
??This film also allowed Gary Oldman, who played Dracula, to officially establish a foothold in Hollywood. Before that, although he had become famous in the UK, he was still an unknown in Hollywood.
…
In March, the Academy Awards kick off.
"Basic Instinct," "Silence of the Lambs," "Thelma and Louise," and "Killing Kennedy" are all favorites to win the award.
Especially "The Silence of the Lambs" was nominated for eight awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay and many other heavyweight awards.
?This year’s red carpet, Xiang Nan walked with Halle Berry.
?Halle Berry has developed well in the past two years and has become the spokesperson for African-American actresses in Hollywood. Whenever an African-American actress is needed in a movie, she will basically be given priority. African-American movie stars will give her priority when filming.
For example, African-American superstar Eddie Murphy starred in "The Love Story" and she was cast as the heroine; Hollywood''s well-known African-American director Spike Lee directed "Jungle Fever" also cast her as the female lead; "Boys from the Block" starring African Americans also asked her to be the heroine...
She has also become the favorite actress among African-American audiences, and with their support, her path in Hollywood has become smoother and smoother.
?Of course, this is also inseparable from her own efforts. She took every role seriously and contributed outstanding acting skills.
In addition, she also works hard to maintain her figure, dieting and exercising for a long time, so after so many years, her figure is still hot and attractive. Unlike other African-American women, whose bodies easily gain weight and become deformed, they already have elephant legs and a bucket waist in their twenties.
?However, no matter how popular Halle Berry is, she also knows that the support of African-American audiences is not eternal.
Because there are tens of millions of African Americans in the United States, and there are not a few working hard in Hollywood, sooner or later there will be women who are younger, more beautiful, and better than myself. When the time comes, they will definitely share their support. In comparison, only capital is eternal, and Xiang Nan holds capital in his hands.
??Although he is a bit of a loser and has many women around him, he takes good care of everyone and arranges the heroines one by one.
In Hollywood, a man like him is considered kind. Here, more men just flirt and run away, showing no responsibility at all.
Therefore, she still hugged Xiang Nan tightly.
…
“Charles, why did you walk the red carpet with Harry? Do you have a new project to collaborate on?” the host asked with a smile.
"Yes, I am planning to film "Lethal Weapon 3" this year." Xiang Nan nodded.
“Lethal Weapon 3?! It’s really great, we can’t wait.” Upon hearing this, the host immediately said in surprise.
"Yes, I have wanted to film it for a long time." Xiang Nan smiled, "I promise everyone that the plot of this film will be more thrilling and exciting, and Harry and I will also have a romantic love."
“That’s even more worth looking forward to.” The host said with a smile, “I wish your movie success.”
“Thank you.” Xiang Nan nodded.
…
Subsequently, the award ceremony started on time.
The first few awards were not received by Xiang Nan, so he didn’t pay attention and kept whispering to Halle Berry and Brooke Shields.
Xiang Nan didn’t even raise his head until the awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay were presented.
The award guests were Joe Pesci and Whoopi Goldberg.
They first awarded the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, and the nominees were "Silence of the Lambs", "JFK", "European Europe", "The Days Go by" and "Fried Green Tomatoes".
"The winner is..."The Silence of the Lambs," Charles. Congratulations, buddy, I thought you could do it a long time ago." Joe Pesci then announced loudly.
He and Xiang Nan have collaborated many times, including "Goodfellas", "Home Alone 1 and 2", "Lethal Weapon 2", etc., and they have a very good relationship with each other.
Xiang Nan immediately stepped onto the stage with a smile, hugged Whoopi Goldberg and Joe Pesci, then took the trophy and said with a smile, "Thank you judges for your appreciation, and thank you fans for your support.
Special thanks to director Jonathan Demme, starring Anthony Hopkins, Nicole Kidman, Tiger Lavin and many other crew members. It is your hard work that allowed my script to be perfectly presented on the screen. superior.
Thank you very much and look forward to cooperating with you again! "
Hearing what he said, everyone clapped happily.
