Chapter 1985 1987【Charlize Theron】


    "The Impostor" is another masterpiece by Jim Carrey. It tells the story of the protagonist, a journalist, who is unhappy with his work, relationships, and life, and often complains that God is unfair. God was tired of his nagging and decided to let him take over his job.


    ??The male protagonist was enjoying it at first, but later he realized how much trouble he had caused...


    The theme of this movie is somewhat similar to "Groundhog Day", "Remote Control", etc. It uses some fantastic events to make the protagonist understand that instead of complaining again and again, it is better to start with himself and change his attitude towards life. , live every day seriously.


    ?Although the theme is old, it is really interesting to incarnate God, so after the movie was released that year, it earned nearly 500 million US dollars at the box office.


    …


    "Pirates of the Caribbean" is Johnny Depp''s masterpiece. Disney''s original purpose of filming this movie was to advertise the pirate ship attraction added to Disneyland, so it was prepared to suffer losses.


    After all, Hollywood movies that involve water have always done poorly at the box office. "Waterworld" and the pirate-themed "Cutthroat Island" both suffered miserably.


    Unexpectedly, this movie turned out to be a huge success, so five movies were made in a row, earning billions of dollars, and giving Disney an IP that is guaranteed to make money without losing money.


    For such a profitable project, Xiang Nan would naturally not go cheap for Disney. He was planning to ask Johnny Depp to make the movie. When the time comes, add this attraction to Universal Studios.


    ??Coupled with Hogwarts in "Harry Potter" and Dinosaur World in "Jurassic Park"... Universal Studios will be even more lively than Disneyland.


    …


    Xiang Nan then invited Charlize Theron to meet.


    "Congratulations, Charlize, "The Secret Service" has a good reputation and a high box office. You have finally become famous this time." He smiled and congratulated Charlize Theron.


    “I want to thank you very much. Without your support, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” Charlize Theron said gratefully.


    ?A script as good as "The Secret Service" is actually rare. Because Hollywood has always been a world of male stars, almost all of the 20 million clubs are men, and there are almost no women.


    Furthermore, in the film, most women are vassals of men, mostly with the attributes of vases. There are very few characters who really don’t act as male appendages or hold back the male protagonist.


    That’s why “Beautiful Agent”, in which a woman plays the leading role, is so rare. And such a resource happened to fall on her, which made her a great success and became famous in one fell swoop. She naturally wanted to thank Xiang Nan for his help.


    “You’re welcome, it’s only because you are strong enough and can perform this role so perfectly that you can make this movie so successful.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    "Thank you for your compliment. I think I didn''t do a good enough job." Charlize said modestly.


    "No need to be modest, I have a movie recently that I hope you will star in." Xiang Nan smiled, and then told Charlize Theron the story of "Surprise", "I hope you will play the heroine."


    Charlize Theron nodded after listening to the story.


    "Surprise" is a commercial film, and with Xiang Nan at the helm, the box office is sure to be good. Although she has become famous with "The Secret Service", she still needs good works to maintain her popularity.


    ?After all, there are so many beautiful and good-acting actresses in Hollywood. Therefore, this film "Surfing the Sky" is very suitable for her.


    …


    In March, Universal Pictures released Eminem''s biopic "8 Mile."


    ?Eminem is one of the most prominent rappers in the United States today. Rap was originally a music genre unique to African Americans. It emerged in the late 1970s and has flourished today. Because hip-hop is rebellious, entertaining, and casual, and is more trendy and exciting than other music types, it is very popular among young people.


    ?However, because hip-hop is mostly composed of African-American singers, it is difficult to spread in white society.


    Like rock music, it was already popular in the African-American community in the early 1950s, but it was not until Elvis Presley came out that rock music became widely popular in the white community.


    ?The birth of Eminem just filled this gap. He instantly won the love of countless white fans and became the most popular hip-hop singer.


    "Eight Mile" is a movie written by someone based on Eminem''s personal experience after he became famous. Many of the plots in the film actually happened to him, so Eminem''s acting was particularly immersive. Even though he is a newcomer in the entertainment industry, he still contributed outstanding acting skills.


    "Eight Mile" truly shows the world of hip-hop and the living conditions of underground singers, which is real, rough and powerful. Coupled with the joining of popular superstars, the box office performance is still good.


    ??The final box office in North America was US$110 million and the global box office was US$230 million. For a newcomer, it is really amazing to achieve such results.


    …


    March is also the Oscar season.


    ?Mel Gibson’s “Gladiator,” Tom Hanks’ “Cast Away,” and Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings” are all favorites to win the award.


    Xiang Nan also walked on the red carpet with Charlize Theron.


    For the past month, he has been with Charlize every day, preparing for the filming of "Surprise".


    ?As the contact deepened, the relationship between the two became closer and closer, and the final result was that they hit it off. Because of this, Charlize Theron was in a particularly high mood when Tong Xiang Nan was walking on the red carpet.


    “Charles, you and Charlize walked the red carpet together, are you going to collaborate again?” the host asked with a smile.


    "Yes, we are preparing a movie recently. It can be said that it is a type of movie that I have never acted before. I hope the fans will like it." Xiang Nan said.


    "Oh?! A type that I have never acted before? Can you tell me a little more?" the host asked excitedly.


    “Okay, let’s reveal a little more, I might be the villain in this movie.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    “Villain?!” The host became even more excited.


    Xiang Nan has only played positive roles since his debut, in "Die Hard", "Lethal Weapon", "Speed", "Mission: Impossible"... I am afraid this is the first time he has played a villain, so it is naturally novel and interesting, and this It will also be a major selling point of "Fast and Furious".


    …


    The award ceremony was then officially held.


    Xiang Nan has no other awards shortlisted, so he is focusing on "Gladiator", "Cast Away" and "Lord of the Rings" to see which film can win the Best Picture Award.


    "Actually, your "Gladiator" and "Cast Away" are fully qualified to win the Best Screenplay Award." Charlize Theron said aggrievedly for him.


    “It doesn’t matter, I’m already very happy to win the Best Picture Award.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
