"The Devil Wears Prada" stars Anne Hathaway and Mel Streep. It tells the story of a little girl who just entered the workplace, how she got lost in Vanity Fair, and how she finally woke up, quit Vanity Fair, and found the lost happiness. .
??This movie is adapted from the original novel of the same name. The character is based on Anna Wintour, the female editor-in-chief of the famous American fashion magazine "VOGUE".
The story is actually a bit cliché. There are actually many stories in Hollywood similar to the prodigal son''s return. But after "The Devil Wears Prada" was released, it still achieved great success.
It received a box office of US$120 million in North America and a global box office of US$330 million, while its cost was less than US$40 million.
The reason why this is so is that, on the one hand, this story tells what happens in the workplace and is known as a survival guide for the office, which has resonated with countless people in the fashion circle and the workplace;
On the one hand, the film has a positive theme, a relaxed and humorous style, and a lot of fashion elements. It is a completely fashionable blockbuster and is also very attractive to the audience, so it naturally performed well at the box office.
…
? And "Jurassic Park 4" tells the story of the coexistence of humans and dinosaurs.
?Evil scientists used genetic technology to clone more ferocious and intelligent dinosaurs with the intention of conquering the world. Humanity was forced to struggle to survive...
? Dinosaurs have already entered human society in "Jurassic Park 2". After "Jurassic Park 3", the power of dinosaurs continues to grow, posing a great threat to the human world.
Carnivores such as pterosaurs, velociraptors, and tyrannosaurus rex preyed on humans, causing a crisis of human survival that swept the world. But some ambitious people are still trying to conquer the world and dominate the world with the help of dinosaurs.
With the addition of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the human condition becomes even more miserable. Countless cities have been destroyed, and the remaining humans can only live in rescue centers, struggling to survive...
?This movie already has a bit of a post-apocalyptic wasteland feel, similar to "Resident Evil", "The Hunger Games", and "Mad Max".
? And this kind of doomsday survival movie is actually very suitable for the audience''s taste.
On the one hand, there is a shortage of similar movies in Hollywood, so "Jurassic Park 4" is rare and expensive; on the other hand, after the terrorist attacks, the American people''s sense of insecurity has increased, so they subconsciously like this kind of doomsday. Survival theme.
??In the end, "Jurassic Park 4" has a North American box office of 230 million US dollars and a global box office of nearly 500 million US dollars, continuing the legend. And "Jurassic Park 5" is also in preparation.
In this part, humans will find the key to subduing the dinosaurs and reverse the current situation of being on the verge of extinction.

In the same month, Xiang Nan’s relationships with Zhang Jingchu and Natalie Portman achieved breakthroughs respectively.
?In fact, he didn''t do anything special, nor did he take any active offensive. He just invited them to eat, drink, dance, and just go on a normal date, and he won them over. The process was extremely simple.
Because women are not obtained by chasing them, but by attracting them. When both parties are interested in each other and go in both directions, progress will definitely be a thousand miles at an astonishing speed. Being intentional with one party and unintentional with the other, chasing for months or even years without success, is not the same concept at all.
…
In November, Universal Pictures released "Daredevil 3".
?Four Daredevil comic book movies have been released, "Daredevil 1 and 2" and "The Defenders 1 and 2". After four movies, Daredevil has accumulated strong popularity. Therefore, after its release, the box office has soared, and the results are very gratifying. In the end, the North American box office was 200 million, and the global box office exceeded 400 million US dollars, which is very good.
In December, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" was released.
?This series of movies has now become one of the strongest IPs in the film industry, and has attracted much attention even before it was released. A few days before the release, movie fans even queued up overnight to buy tickets to see it first.
In such an atmosphere, it is difficult for a movie to achieve high box office.
??In the end, the film received a box office of 300 million US dollars in North America and a global box office of 970 million US dollars, making it another hit.
At the same time, the last novel in the "Harry Potter" series, "The Deathly Hallows", was also released, and with the help of the movie''s success, it sold tens of millions of copies.
…
In January 2008, Xiang Nan started a new project for the New Year.
"The Twilight Saga", "Fast and Furious 4", "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", "Luke Cage 3", "Ghost Rider", "Shanghai Noon 2", "Night at the Museum" 2", "Bad Boys 2", "Quantum of Solace" and "Jurassic Park 5".
?Most of these new projects are sequels, and the lineup is basically the same as the original cast. There is only one "Twilight", which is considered a brand new work.
?This film is adapted from the novel of the same name. The original novel was published in 2005. Before it was ready for publication, Universal Pictures had already acquired the adaptation rights.
The novel became very popular after its release and won the love of countless book fans in the past two years. Therefore, seeing that the popularity was almost brewing, Xiang Nan was ready to adapt it into a movie.
?However, as for the protagonists, Xiang Nan does not plan to use Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
Because Robert originally became popular with "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", but all the actors in Xiang Nan''s version of "Harry Potter" were changed, and Robert did not appear in the movie.
So although he has made his debut now, he is not even considered a third-tier artist. Moreover, Xiang Nan didn''t think he was handsome at all. And Kristen Stewart is not Xiang Nan’s cup of tea, so he is not prepared to praise them.
? Xiang Nan is preparing for a comprehensive audition for Bella and Edward. On the one hand, he will build momentum for "Twilight" and on the other hand, he will select the most suitable actors.
…
When the news of the auditions for Bella and Edward came out, Universal Pictures immediately received tens of thousands of resumes, hoping to compete for these two roles.
On the one hand, "Twilight" is the most popular fantasy novel in recent years, besides "Harry Potter", and is very popular among teenagers.
??And the movie adaptation of "Harry Potter" is so popular that anyone who is not blind can see it, so they naturally want to grab this piece of the pie.
On the one hand, the products produced by Xiang Nan must be of high quality, and this is by no means an empty statement. This film was personally supervised by Xiang Nan, and the scripts were reviewed by him personally, so the quality is definitely guaranteed.
?Whoever can star in this movie will definitely become famous, so naturally everyone is enthusiastic about it.
Xiang Nan also expressed satisfaction with this and told the casting director to be careful in selecting the most suitable actors.
