Chapter 1939 1941 [Huge Pit]
"Daredevil", Xiang Nan is planning to ask Ben Affleck to star.
?Ben Affleck was born in 1972 and made his debut in 1979. In 1990, he collaborated with Xiang Nan in "Dear, I Shrunk the Children" and achieved very good results.
Ben Affleck has also received more performance opportunities as a result, and his development has been very good in the past few years. He has successively appeared in "School", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "The Young and the Restless", "The Cool Ones", etc., and is now one of the new generation actors who is quite eye-catching.
The reason why Xiang Nan invited him was, on the one hand, because he is tall and handsome, and is more suitable for playing the role of Daredevil. On the one hand, he also has potential worth investing in.
Ben Affleck can write, direct and act, and his collaboration with Matt Damon in "Good Will Hunting" won nine nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor. .
??The film "Escape from Tehran" directed by himself also won the Oscar for Best Picture. He himself has been nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor awards many times.
?Through these awards, it can be seen that Ben Affleck is still very capable.
The heroine of "Daredevil", Xiang Nan is planning to select a young, beautiful and capable actress through auditions.

"Bad Boys" is a police and gangster action movie. It was originally a movie starring Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, telling the story of two Miami police officers who were ordered to investigate the disappearance of goods and battle with criminals.
This movie not only has a tense plot and grand scenes, but the biggest highlight is the jokes and banter between Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, which adds a touch of lightness and humor to this intense police film, making it even more exciting. Entertaining.
Xiang Nan is still prepared to star Martin Lawrence and Will Smith in this movie. After all, apart from them, it is difficult for him to think of anyone else who can take their place.
The heroine is Claudia Schiffer. This character has very little screen time and does not have a very important role. He is basically just a vase. Claudia Schiffer can still pull off this role.
…
"Interview with the Vampire" is a movie co-starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. It is also known as one of the most beautiful movies in history.
This movie is also adapted from the original work of the same name. It tells the story of the love and hatred between three vampires. It is actually a literary film.
But because of the support of the two superstars, "Interview with the Vampire" still achieved great success. With a global box office of US$230 million, it is definitely a blockbuster.
??In addition to using Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, Xiang Nan recommended Natalie Portman as the candidate for Little Vampire.
With her looks and acting skills, I believe she would be more suitable than Kristen Dunst.
…
"Apollo 13" is adapted from historical facts. When the Apollo 13 moon landing spacecraft exploded, the three astronauts used their wisdom to fight despite the difficult environment and finally returned home safely.
?This created a miracle in the history of spaceflight, and it was a sensation at the time. It is the memory of countless Americans, and it is also an event that has been recorded in history.
?So if it is put on the screen now, it will definitely get a lot of attention. In fact, after the film was released, it achieved great success. Not only did it receive a huge reputation and received nine Oscar nominations, but it also earned US$350 million at the global box office.
…
As for Xiang Nan himself, he is preparing to film "The Secret Order of Evaporation".
??This movie tells the story of a male protagonist who is a police officer and is ordered to protect witnesses, but is framed by his superiors. For this reason, he had to protect witnesses while collecting evidence to find out the truth and clear his name.
It was originally starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, with a global box office of nearly 360 million US dollars. It was a very successful action blockbuster. For such a successful movie, Xiang Nan naturally focused on himself first.
As for the choice of the heroine, Xiang Nan has not yet decided.
He wants to choose some new faces as much as possible, so as to bring more freshness to the audience.
Otherwise, it would feel too deja vu if you always work with people you know.
After all, he has played so many police officers before that he has almost become a professional police officer.
…
??In addition, Xiang Nan is planning to invite Monica Bellucci and Sophie Marceau to co-star in the Wachowski brothers'' "Beautiful Flowers."
??They are both beautiful women, and working together is guaranteed to be interesting. In real life, they also collaborated once. That was "Don''t Look Back" where they co-starred in 2009.
?But at that time, Sophie Marceau was already forty-three years old, and Monica Bellucci was already forty-five years old. They were both at the age when beauties are in their twilight years, so they were not amazing.
Now they are at their most beautiful. I believe that just seeing the two of them engaging in lace is worth the price of admission.
…
In February, Universal Pictures released "The Bridge," starring Kevin Costner and Michelle Pfeiffer.
?Last year, when Xiang Nan invited Kevin Costner to star in this film, he was still preparing to shoot "Waterworld of the Future" with the support of Columbia Pictures.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan persuaded him and invited him to star in "The Bridge of Lost Dreams". For the sake of past cooperation, Kevin Costner accepted Xiang Nan''s invitation and turned down Columbia Pictures'' "Waterworld".
Columbia Pictures saw this and hired Sylvester Stallone, who had just made a comeback. As a result, the production process of this drama was full of twists and turns and troubles.
Because "Future Water World" sets the scene on the sea, and the sea is moody. Strong winds, huge waves, heavy rain... I don''t know when it will come.
The sea set alone was blown down by strong winds three times and had to be rebuilt. As a result, the cost increases significantly.
Originally Columbia Pictures’ investment was US$60 million, which was already considered a large cost at the time. However, due to damage to the set, Shengsheng added an additional US$30 million, an investment of close to 100 million.
?Coupled with the harsh environment at sea, many actors suffered from symptoms such as dizziness and diarrhea, which also delayed the filming progress. The movie that I originally thought could be shot in three months has now been shot for six months and has not been finished yet.
Stallone complained that the experience of making this movie was like living in hell. So Kevin Costner was very lucky that he didn''t take on this drama, and he even thanked Xiang Nan specifically for this.
After the release of "Bridge of Lost Dreams", the box office and reputation were very good.
??The North American box office was US$80 million and the global box office was US$180 million.
??Kevin Costner and Michelle Pfeiffer both demonstrated their extraordinary acting skills with this film, and also announced their amazing box office appeal.
