Chapter 1994 1996【Rush Hour 3】
Xiang Nan only knew Song Huiqiao after watching "Blue Life and Death Love". When I saw her for the first time, I was almost shocked. Such a pure and beautiful woman is really very rare.
??Although I saw many beauties later on, I knew that Song Huiqiao was just a small girl with limited looks. Not to mention compared with top beauties such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, Sophie Marceau, and Jennifer Connelly, even compared with Zhang Bozhi, Li Jiaxin, and Lin Xilei in Hong Kong, they are quite inferior.
?But after all, there is a childhood filter, so Song Hye Kyo is still a beauty in his mind.
“I’ve seen the movie “Blue Life and Death” starring you, and you did a really good job.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“Really?! Thank you!” Song Huiqiao said happily.
? Xiang Nan is a gold medal producer in Hollywood and is known as the God of Movies. His praise is really rare.
?It’s a pity that there are no reporters here now. Otherwise, if we record it and report it, newspapers and magazines all over South Korea will publish the news tomorrow. And she will rely on Xiang Nan''s praise to become a recognized acting school in South Korea.
"You''re welcome. There is a role in my new film that suits you. Do you want to consider it?" Xiang Nan said again. This method has been tried and true.
"You invite me to cooperate?!" Song Huiqiao''s eyes widened in surprise, and then she nodded repeatedly, "Of course, I''m happy to do it."
Not to mention that Xiang Nan''s movies have always been successful at both box office and word-of-mouth. Even if he lets her act in a low-budget bad movie, she can use it to hype up after returning to South Korea, saying that she has been to Hollywood and is an international-level movie. movie star.
After all, there are so many artists in South Korea, but only one in ten thousand can go to Hollywood to film. Even top artists such as Jang Dong Gun, Lee Byung Hun, and Cha In Pyo have not yet had a chance.
“Very good.” Xiang Nan smiled and then told the story of “Rush Hour 3”.
…
"Rush Hour 3" was originally released in 2007. The main reason why there was such a long gap between the second part and the second one is that one of the leading actors, Chris Tucker, lacked career ambition. After "Rush Hour 1 and 2" became popular, he began to forget about it and only focused on enjoying life and walking shows everywhere. .
It wasn’t until he ran out of money that he chose to return to “Rush Hour 3.” What''s even more disgusting is that he was obviously a supporting actor, but he was offered a higher salary than Jackie Chan.
?As a result, the production cost of "Rush Hour 3" was as high as 120 million US dollars, which is already considered a top Hollywood production. However, the box office was only US$240 million, causing New Line Cinema a huge loss. Therefore, "Rush Hour 4" has not been filmed until now.
?However, under Xiang Nan’s arrangement, Chris Tucker had long been replaced by Martin Lawrence.
Martin Lawrence is even more popular, and his starring roles in "Bad Boys", "Bad Boys", "Nothing to Lose", and "The Fool" all grossed over 100 million US dollars at the box office.
??Moreover, he has excellent comedy talent. He once starred in a talk show on a TV station and gained a very good reputation.
?Hence, after teaming up with Jackie Chan, their strengths complement each other. One is responsible for kung fu, and the other is responsible for comedy. They work together seamlessly, which is why the first two parts of "Rush Hour" were so popular.
?This time, Xiang Nan is preparing to start filming "Rush Hour 3". The script has been rewritten and the investment will not be too large, only about 80 million US dollars.
After all, pure action movies are no longer very popular these days, and what is popular nowadays are action movies with special effects. For example, "Pirates of the Caribbean", "X-Men", "Harry Potter" and so on.
…
?Song Hye Kyo couldn''t help but be very excited when Xiang Nan asked her to star in "Rush Hour 3".
?As far as she knows, the first two films of "Rush Hour" were both among the top ten in the U.S. annual box office rankings and were very popular movies. She was able to participate in the production of the third film, and she was about to become famous, so she was naturally very happy.
"Mr. Charles, your story is really well written. I am very interested in starring in it." Song Hye Kyo immediately expressed her stance.
"Very good, I appreciate your positive attitude." Xiang Nan nodded, "But whether you are suitable for this role needs to be assessed. You also know that if you invest 100 million US dollars in a movie, you must Just be careful.”
"I understand." Song Huiqiao suddenly showed a well-behaved look when he heard what he said, "Mr. Charles, how do you want to be assessed?"
"Well, I just have to stay in Xiangjiang for a few days. If you have time, you can stay with me and let me tutor you." Xiang Nan nodded.
?Song Huiqiao was stunned for a moment, and then said thoughtfully, "I have to discuss it with my agent."
“Okay.” Xiang Nan didn’t force it.
For him, there are plenty of beauties.
?Song Huiqiao decided to stay with Xiang Nan after discussing with her agent.
On the one hand, it is not easy for South Korean stars to go to Hollywood to film. After all, Xiangjiang''s artists are good at kung fu and have an advantage in the field of action movies. But South Korean artists are different. They have no advantages, so it is naturally difficult for them to win the favor of Hollywood.
On the one hand, even if you fail the test in the end, it would be good to establish contact with Xiang Nan. A big shot like him has always been aloof, and it''s not easy to meet him. Now the opportunity to stay with him for a few days is even more rare.
Xiang Nan is also very satisfied with Song Huiqiao''s choice, "A child can be taught~"
…
After staying in Xiangjiang for half a month, Xiang Nan’s family then returned to Hollywood.
In February, Universal Pictures released Meet the Father 2 starring Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand.
?The year before last, "Meet the Father-in-law" had a global box office of US$330 million, and the production cost of that movie was only US$50 million. Because of this, a sequel was naturally planned.
?In order to bring more freshness to movie fans, the film specially invited Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand to join the cast.
?Dustin Hoffman has won the Academy Award twice, and Barbra Streisand is the Academy Award-winning actress. She has made unsurpassed achievements in many fields such as music, drama, and TV series.
??The joining of these two superstars has added a strong touch to "Meet the Father-in-law 2", making it even more attractive at the box office.
?Especially the three veteran actors, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand, who compete on the same scene and display their funny skills together, make this movie very watchable.
?Hence, it became a hit at the box office after its release. The final box office in North America was US$270 million, and the global box office was US$530 million, which was US$200 million more than the previous film.
?Such a box office performance also broke the box office records set by "Home Alone" and "Fake God", becoming the highest-grossing comedy in history.
?Ben Stiller also became famous and became a comedy star who can compete with Jim Carrey.
