Chapter 1976 1978【Harry Potter】


    The movie released in December is "The Sixth Sense."


    Although the name alone makes it look like a horror film, it is actually a warm film, somewhat similar to "The End of the World".


    ?However, the focus of "The Last Love" is on love, while the focus of "The Sixth Sense" is on family and friendship.


    ??The film stars Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment. When Osment was four years old, he also appeared in "Forrest Gump", playing the son of Forrest Gump and Jenny.


    ??He is a talented child actor whose acting skills in the film are impeccable, which made the industry rejoice, thinking that he was a newcomer who could rival Macaulay Culkin.


    ? ?Macaulay Culkin''s 1994-starring "The Mighty Master" and "The Master of Space and Time" were both unsatisfactory at the box office. Coupled with the influence of negative news such as minors smoking and drinking, it has gradually lost the favor of the audience.


    What''s more, he also has a pair of troubled parents who caused all kinds of problems for the film company when he was popular, making him a famous troublemaker in Hollywood.


    As a result, he quickly lost the favor of various film companies and was forced to announce his retirement. Now there is no place for him in Hollywood. However, there are still many people competing for the chief child star position he vacated.


    ?Haley Joel Osment is the one who is getting the most attention right now.


    "The Sixth Sense" finally took in a box office of US$290 million in the United States and a global box office of over US$600 million, ranking second in the annual box office rankings. It can be said to be a quite successful work.


    …


    It’s January 2001, and it’s awards season again.


    This year''s awards ceremony did not have a favorite to win the championship like "Titanic", but there were a lot of heroes vying for supremacy, such as Steven Katzenberg''s "The Internet", DreamWorks'' "Almost Famous", Lee An''s "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Steven Soderbergh''s "Never Compromise" all have the potential to win.


    ?However, Xiang Nan didn''t care. He went home to spend the New Year with his parents.


    ?However, before leaving, he still finalized the shooting plan for the new year.


    "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone", "Rush Hour 2", "Scream 3", "Pearl Harbor", "American Pie", "Silence of the Lambs 2", "A Beautiful Mind", "The Bourne Supremacy" ” and “Mission: Impossible 3.”


    The project "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" actually started preparations last year, including location selection, actor selection, styling design, and prop production...


    ? Xiang Nan is not JK ??Rowling, and the actors are not required to be all British, so there are many more actors to choose from. Many actors are also very optimistic about the "Harry Potter" project.


    On the one hand, the original book is already very famous and is one of the best-selling books in the past ten years and has high popularity among teenagers; on the other hand, the entire project was conceived and planned by Xiang Nan, and his project has a high success rate. It''s 100%.


    ?Whoever wants to participate in the show may become popular, so naturally no one wants to miss this good thing. Nearly one million children came to audition, which caused quite a stir in the United States.


    …


    “Rush Hour 2” is Jackie Chan’s highest-grossing film in recent years. The movie he starred in in 1999 was a huge success, grossing more than 200 million US dollars at the global box office, so a sequel was naturally on the agenda.


    This movie, telling the story of Lee and Carter''s crackdown on a counterfeit banknote syndicate, is still an exciting and popular commercial blockbuster. The first two parts of "Scream 3" have achieved very good box office and reputation, and are quite popular among horror film lovers, so the third part is also scheduled as soon as possible. It is still the same cast and I believe it can still arouse the audience''s interest in watching the movie.


    "Pearl Harbor" is a film directed by Michael Bay and starring Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale and others. It tells the story of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II, and the US military was forced to fight back.


    ?However, for such a popular war movie, it received a lot of bad reviews because of the awkward love triangle between the male and female protagonists. In the end, although it won a lot of box office, Michael Bay''s reputation was affected.


    Originally, he was regarded as Steven Spielberg''s successor. However, after this movie, Michael Bay exposed his shortcomings and completely lost the opportunity to succeed Spielberg.


    ?Hence, Xiang Nan made fine adjustments to the script of "Pearl Harbor" so that there is no **** love triangle. Some are just national heroes who united and fought back after their home country was invaded.


    "American Pie" is a youth campus comedy. Although it is a bit restricted, the focus is not on romance, but on the growth of teenagers. Therefore, it is very popular among young people and has a certain influence all over the world.


    "The Silence of the Lambs 2" is the sequel to "The Silence of the Lambs". It tells the story of Dr. Hannibal who originally lived a peaceful life after escaping from prison.


    Helpless, Matson was tortured by him before and put a million-dollar reward on his head, which forced Dr. Hannibal to come out again... The reason why the sequel was released so late is mainly because the author of the novel, Thomas Harris, had just completed the sequel.


    ?However, it’s better to be good than late. Xiang Nan believes that this sequel will still attract audiences after nine years.


    ? ? "A Beautiful Mind" tells the story of John Nash, the Nobel Prize winner and the founder of game theory, and his wife Alicia''s joint support to fight against the disease.


    This film won the Academy Award for Best Picture that year and was a sensation. The original version starred Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly, but Xiang Nan is planning to replace Russell Crowe with Tom Hanks.


    After all, he is not familiar with Russell Crowe, but he is an old friend with Tom Hanks. He believes that with Tom Hanks'' acting skills, he can definitely complete this character better.


    The Bourne Supremacy is also known as "The Bourne Identity". The original novel was written in 1980. Xiang Nan bought the film and television adaptation rights in 1988.


    ??The original version starred Matt Damon and Franka Tambert. Xiang Nan didn''t want to change the lineup, so it was finalized.


    "Mission: Impossible 3" still stars Xiang Nan, and the final story of the original version takes place in China. However, Xiang Nan was not prepared to take risks. He planned to shoot in Xiangjiang, which was safer.


    …


    In January, Xiang Nan, Cong Shan and Ning Jing went home to spend the New Year with their parents. They did not leave the mainland until after the Lantern Festival and went to Xiangjiang.


    Today, "Grandpas Over Flowers" and "Invincible Youth" have been broadcast on ATV.


    Because the format of the program is very novel, and the reality show is much more interesting than studio variety shows, it has attracted a lot of viewers, sucking away the popularity of TVB’s talent shows and break-in shows.


    Out of desperation, TVB originally wanted to follow ATV’s lead and produce the same program. After calculation, we found out that one episode of the program cost hundreds of thousands or millions of Hong Kong dollars. It was so frightened that it didn''t dare to mess around again.
