Chapter 1937 1939 [Meaningful things]
??After buying these old movies, they don''t just sit in the warehouse gathering dust, which will not produce any value.
For these films to be of value, the first step is to do a good job of restoration. After many old movies were shot, the film was not well preserved. Some are damp, deformed, and even bitten by insects and rats, so they must be repaired and restored to their original appearance as much as possible.
??And restoring old movies is not an easy task and requires the joint efforts of capital and technology. Fortunately, Real Kung Fu Pictures has the capital.
?In order to restore old movies, Wang Jing specially invited technicians from Japan to restore and renovate old movies. More than thirty films have been restored so far, and it is expected that it will take about ten years to restore them all.
?These restored old movies have been released on video tapes and DVDs, but their sales are actually not very high. After all, those who love old movies are always in the minority.
But Xiang Nan does not want to give up this meaningful work. After all, old movies are the memories of a generation and are the most precious.
? ?Many movies and TV shows that Xiang Nan watched when he was a child can no longer be found due to various reasons, leaving a large part of his childhood memory missing, which is really a pity. So he hoped that this regret would not happen to others.
…
After meeting Wang Jing, Xiang Nan made an appointment with Zhong Liti for dinner.
?Chung Liti was born in Montreal, Canada. She returned to Hong Kong in 1993 to debut as Miss Chinese International. In 1994, she starred in "Legend of the Mermaid" and became an instant hit with her innocent and pleasant image.
Since then, his development has been smooth, and he has collaborated with Stephen Chow in "Lord of Destruction" and "White Bread Blue Sky", with Jet Li in "The Bodyguard", and with Tony Leung in "Rogue Doctor"...
In less than two years, she has made nearly ten films, all of which she collaborated with big-name stars, which shows how popular she is.
The reason why Xiang Nan has feelings for her is also because of her bold performance in "The Evening Mother". It is said that when this film was released in Hong Kong, an old man was so excited that he suffered a heart attack and was forced to go to the hospital.
“Hello, Miss Zhong~” Xiang Nan smiled and stretched out her hand.
"Hello, Mr. Ning~" Zhong Liti also smiled and shook hands with him, and then sat down generously, "I never expected that you would invite me to dinner."
She grew up in Canada. She has the character of a ghost girl. She is direct, cheerful and generous. These are all her advantages.
"Really?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Actually, I heard from Director Wang Jing that among the female stars in the Hong Kong film industry in the past two years, she is the most popular. So on a whim, I wanted to ask you out to meet me. Well, sure enough, It’s even better to be famous in person, Miss Zhong, you are indeed well-deserved.”
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Zhong Liti was naturally very happy, "Thank you Mr. Ning for the compliment. In fact, I have always wanted to meet you. You are my idol, ever since your first movie in Hollywood, "The Dragon" Since then, I’ve liked you.”
"Yes, that''s really my honor." Xiang Nan nodded, "Actually, I think you can also go to Hollywood to develop."
“Really?” Zhong Liti asked in surprise.
"Of course. On the one hand, you have language talent, and the most difficult language barrier is not difficult for you at all. On the one hand, you are very beautiful. Even in the eyes of foreigners, you are the pretty one. "Yes." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I have also watched a few of your movies. Although your acting skills are not great, they are definitely not bad. You can consider them."
“Okay.” Zhong Liti nodded happily.
?As a Canadian, separated from the United States by a thin line, she certainly knows how prosperous Hollywood is. To be honest, it is much better than Xiangjiang Film Circle.
The money earned by all the film companies in the Hong Kong film industry through hard work in a year cannot compare with the income of a Hollywood commercial blockbuster. This is the gap. Seeing her taking the bait, Xiang Nan couldn''t help but smile and nod.
The most important thing when picking up girls is attraction. Let her chase you, and the success rate will naturally be much higher than if you chase her.
The reason why he always failed in picking up girls was that he had too many chips in his hands. Money, reputation, status...he has no shortage of anything and can give everything, so he is naturally attractive to women.
In the next few days, in order to get tickets to Hollywood, Zhong Liti did her best to accompany Xiang Nan.
Finally, Xiang Nan promised her that he would give her a role in a new film next year.
…
In December, Xiang Nan returned to the United States.
At this time, Universal Pictures is releasing the movie "Dumb and Dumber" starring Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels and Claudia Schiffer.
This movie tells the story of Duan who saw a beautiful woman at the airport, fell in love at first sight, and then picked up her suitcase. So he took Agua with him and drove across the United States to deliver a suitcase to a beautiful woman. He had no idea that he was involved in a huge trouble...
?This is an absurd and funny comedy film with absurd characters and absurd stories. That is why there are so many jokes. All in all, this is a laugh-out-loud movie.
?Hence, during the Christmas season, the box office of this movie was amazing. It grossed US$120 million in North America and US$240 million at the global box office, making it a definite hit.
Within a year, Jim Carrey contributed two blockbusters with box office sales exceeding US$200 million, which further solidified his status as Hollywood''s leading comedian.
? And Xiang Nan, who discovered and built him single-handedly, has become more and more famous for his discerning eye.
You know, Jim Carrey was just playing small roles on TV. Although his performance was funny, no one cared about it.
??After all, there are so many comedy talents in the United States, including stand-up comedians, stage actors, variety show actors...if you look around, there are a lot of them.
Only Xiang Nan saw his potential, selected him, and promoted him to star in "Ghostbusters", "Spring Isn''t a Day to Study", "Extreme Spirit", "Detective Plane Head", "Emergency Stalking Order", "Reverse" "Fighting the Condor" and so on, which made him popular step by step, and he is now as popular as he is today.
?Therefore, more and more people are eager to cooperate with Xiang Nan, hoping that they can become an instant hit like Jim Carrey.
?Although Claudia Schiffer doesn''t have much screen time in the film, the total time is probably less than half an hour. But she completed the role very well without making anyone feel like she was in a drama, so she was recognized by the industry.
??Her own popularity and popularity have greatly increased due to the success of this movie. Therefore, in the spring fashion shows, she got more catwalk opportunities, and even the price tag increased a lot.
??And the industry predicts that if she can gain a foothold in Hollywood, blue-blood luxury brands will ask her to be their spokesperson.
?It is precisely because of this that Claudia Schiffer wants to hug Xiang Nan''s body even more tightly.
After all, only he can give her a foothold in Hollywood.
