Chapter 1973 1975【Anne Hathaway】


    In September, Xiang Nan made an appointment with Anne Hathaway for coffee.


    Anne Hathaway was born in 1982. She is currently studying at Vassar College, a prestigious school in the United States, majoring in English and minoring in women''s studies. When she was in school, she loved drama performances very much. She starred in the stage play "Golden Dust World" and also won a Rising Star Award, which is used to reward outstanding newcomers.


    In 1999, she officially entered the film and television industry and starred in her debut film, an American drama with a family comedy theme, "The Greens".


    ??Although the series had a good reputation, unfortunately the ratings were too poor and it was eventually canceled after only one season. However, Anne Hathaway was nominated for the second Teen Choice Award for Best Television Actress for her performance in this series, which also made her initially famous in the industry.


    "Princess Diary" is her second movie. For her, this movie with an investment of 30 million US dollars and written by Xiang Nan is undoubtedly a big pie from the sky.


    In fact, she never expected to appear in Xiang Nan''s movie. After all, there are too many girls like her in Hollywood, and she doesn''t even expect to reach the top in one fell swoop.


    I just hope that I will be down-to-earth, develop step by step, and grow into an actor like Meryl Streep and Susan Sarandon in the future.


    Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan actually selected her to be the heroine of "The Princess Diary", which made her famous overnight and became the most anticipated new star in Hollywood.


    So she felt as if she was in a dream these past few months, which was somewhat unreal.


    Today, when she saw Xiang Nan in front of her, she felt it was even more unreal, so by some mistake, she reached out her hand and touched Xiang Nan.


    …


    Xiang Nan was stunned. He hadn''t even taken action yet, but someone had taken advantage of him.


    Just as he was about to speak, Anne Hathaway sneered, "I wasn''t dreaming, it''s actually true."


    “Why, do you think you are dreaming?” Xiang Nan asked with a smile, “Am I that unreal?”


    "No, of course not." Annie waved her hands quickly, "I just didn''t expect that one day, I would sit with you."


    “To be honest, I didn’t expect it either.” Xiang Nan smiled.


    ??Had he not traveled through time and made such great achievements in advance, it would have been impossible for him to have dinner with Anne Hathaway.


    "Mr. Charles, I haven''t thanked you for letting me star in "The Princess Diaries"." Anne said respectfully, "This is really an honor for me. Thank you so much."


    "You''re welcome, I will arrange for you to play the role because you are suitable for it." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "You should be the one you want to thank."


    "No, no, without your help, no matter how suitable I am, I won''t have a chance." Annie waved her hands repeatedly.


    ??There are so many actors suitable for the role of "The Princess Diaries", and she knows countless of them. Many of them are prettier and more famous than her.


    It can be said that if it weren’t for Xiang Nan’s appointment, this role would never have been hers.


    "You know it''s a good thing to be grateful. I also like people who know how to be grateful." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.


    Many celebrities in the entertainment industry are not grateful. They think that they can become popular solely due to their own strength. Therefore, as soon as he became popular, he immediately began to become arrogant and arrogant.


    Seeing Xiang Nan say this, Annie smiled even sweeter.


    "If you perform well, I will arrange for you to star in good movies in the future." Xiang Nan said again.


    “Okay, I will definitely satisfy you.” Anne nodded immediately. She knew that "Princess Diary" could only make her famous for a while, but it could not make her reap dividends for a lifetime. If she wants to remain popular, she must continue to produce new and good works.


    ?The most outstanding producer in Hollywood is Xiang Nan, and there are no movies he has produced that are not successful. Therefore, she is looking forward to working with Xiang Nan again.


    …


    In the following September and October, Universal Pictures released "Collision" and "Trap" one after another.


    "The Great Collision" and "The Great Disaster" both tell the story of an asteroid impacting the earth and humans being forced to save themselves. However, although the stories are similar, the styles are quite different.


    "The End of the World" is a work by Michael Bay. It has a fiery and exciting style that makes the audience almost breathless. My blood is pumping, my hormones are soaring, and I''m hooked.


    ? And "Collision" is the work of Mimi Ryder. She is a female director, so the style of this film is more delicate and realistic.


    In this movie, the impact of a planet on the earth is not the focus. The focus is on the reactions of people from all walks of life under the disaster, which reflects the good and evil of human nature, bravery and cowardice, true love and hypocrisy, steadfastness and betrayal, dedication and request.


    ?Hence, this movie has a global box office of US$350 million. Although it is not as good as "The Last Days", it is more memorable.


    …


    "The Trap" is an action film starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sean Connery. It tells the story of a pair of male and female thieves who took advantage of the brief computer downtime of the millennium to rob the World Bank.


    ??This commercial film combines many commercial elements such as treasure theft, police and robbers, fighting, chasing, etc., coupled with the latest concept of "Millennium Bug", to form an extremely refreshing popcorn blockbuster.


    ?Although Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sean Connery are 40 years apart in age, the love between old and young in the film is still very harmonious and a perfect match, which has also become a major selling point.


    ?So in the end, the box office in North America was US$110 million, and the global box office was as high as US$250 million. Compared with the cost of 66 million US dollars, it can be said to be a great success.


    …


    In October, Xiang Nan finished filming "The Matrix 2" and then left for Xiangjiang.


    ?Before heading to Xiangjiang, he received good news from ATV.


    ?Through the unremitting efforts of ATV management, the mainland finally agreed that ATV would launch in the Pearl River Delta through the Guangdong East Cable Cable Company. As a result, ATV''s audience increased by more than one million.


    This is really great news for ATV. Therefore, everyone at ATV is very excited.


    The wireless guy next door almost went crazy with greed when he saw this.


    After all, the mainland market is much larger than that of Hong Kong. The population of 1.2 billion is hundreds of times that of Hong Kong, and the annual advertising cost reaches tens of billions of yuan.


    After ATV lands in the Pearl River Delta, its annual advertising revenue is expected to reach more than HK$300 million. Coupled with the local revenue in Xiangjiang, ATV''s revenue and expenditure can become more balanced and even achieve profitability.


    ?As a result, ATV will have greater confidence and its programs will be better produced, which will lead to higher ratings. Sooner or later, ATV will surpass TVB and become the Napovan of Hong Kong TV.


    Hence, Wireless is actively preparing for the war, and is also actively striving to settle in the mainland.
