Chapter 2042 2044【Frugality to cultivate virtue】
In July, Universal Pictures released Xiang Nan''s movie "Fast and Furious 5" as usual, telling the story of Don''s gang and the U.S. government cooperating to eliminate mercenary organizations.
?Compared with the previous works, this movie has larger scenes, more thrilling actions, more difficult tasks, and is naturally more enjoyable to watch.
This is enough for the audience. After all, this movie is positioned as a passionate popcorn movie, so it can''t force too much.
As long as the audience feels the passion and pleasure within the two hours of watching the movie, this is enough. If you have to argue about whether the logic is fluent and whether the rules are consistent, it is just killing a pig and stabbing the butt, and you are in the wrong place.
Whether a movie is good or not, ultimately the market has the final say. "Fast and Furious 5" has a North American box office of US$280 million and a global box office of US$780 million. Such results show that the "Fast and Furious" series is still successful.
…
In July, Xiang Nan also completed the filming of "The Rescue" and returned to Hollywood.
?However, the movie itself has not actually been completed. There are still other people''s scenes being filmed, and it is estimated that it will not officially wrap up until August.
The reason why Xiang Nan wants to come back is mainly because Shanshan is about to give birth, so Xiang Nan wants to come back to stay with her.
But before that, he had hired a personal doctor, nutritionist, nanny, nanny, etc. for Shanshan to ensure that she would receive 100% care.
Even so, Shanshan still hopes that he can stay with her.
Xiang Nan understood her mood, so he hurriedly finished his part of the play and rushed back to the United States as soon as possible.
Finally, in mid-July, Shanshan gave birth to a healthy baby girl in the hospital.
?However, because she is an advanced maternal age, the birth process is very dangerous, and it can be regarded as a narrow escape. Therefore, when she learned that she had just given birth to a daughter after all the hard work, she was very unhappy and thought that she had not given birth well.
"Why is it a daughter? Why is it a daughter? I have always dreamed of giving birth to a son." She was unwilling to accept it at all. She was not even willing to hold the baby. "Brother, this is not our child. The nurse must have held it wrong." . Go and look for me, I gave birth to a son.”
"Okay, you are the only pregnant woman in the whole hospital today, so it is impossible to hold her in the wrong hands." Xiang Nan comforted her, "Actually, my daughter is also very good. Have you never heard that saying? My daughter is good, my daughter is wonderful, my daughter is Mom’s little cotton-padded jacket. Don’t dislike her, after all, she was born by you.”
“But I obviously want to have a son.” Shanshan said dissatisfied.
“Okay, don’t be angry. In fact, I like my daughter better. My daughter is so cute and obedient, unlike my son, who is naughty and can make people mad.
Don’t worry, you helped me give birth to a daughter, it’s not too late for me to be happy. Xiang Nan understood her mentality and comforted her with a smile, "Look, this is my gift to you mother and daughter. Come, I will bring it to you." "
Xiang Nan took out two gifts. One is an immortal lock made of gold, hanging on her daughter''s body. One is an jade necklace, hanging around Shanshan''s neck.
Seeing that Xiang Nan was really not angry, Shanshan felt better.
"By the way, I named my child Ningjian, which means frugality. As the old saying goes, tranquility is used to cultivate one''s character, and frugality is used to cultivate virtue. Laozi also said that I have three treasures. One is diligence, the other is frugality, and the third is not daring to do anything. The world comes first.
??For a child from a family like ours, it would be difficult not to make her rich and powerful. But if children are not well educated, the richer they are, the more they will suffer. Therefore, I hope that my daughter will cultivate her moral character, so that we parents will feel at ease. Do you think it’s okay? Xiang Nan said.
Shanshan nodded.
…
After Ning Jian was born, Xiang Nan walked more frequently.
He still likes this daughter very much.
The little guy''s nose and eyes are as follows. The nose is high, the eyes are big, and the eyes are double eyelids, making him look energetic. The mouth and chin are as follows, with a small mouth and a pointed chin, which makes him look more delicate. When he was just born, he was still a little dark. After a few days, it turned white. The little guy had a pink jade bracelet carved like a small porcelain doll, which Xiang Nan naturally liked.
…
As August enters, "Jurassic Park 6" will be released.
??This movie is the final chapter of the "Jurassic Park" series. In this movie, humans find a way to eliminate the alien dinosaurs, finally ending this human catastrophe.
?However, due to the catastrophe of alien dinosaurs for many years, the earth has become devastated and full of ruins. Humans and the remaining dinosaurs must coexist on these ruins and work hard to rebuild their own home.
So this is not the end, but a new beginning.
Since "Jurassic Park 6" is the last part of the series, in order to play the emotional card, all the actors who have survived the settings of the previous films have returned one after another.
After it was released, many former movie fans came to the theater to watch the movie and bid farewell to their youth.
When the first movie was released, those born in the 1980s were still children. Now all those born in the 1980s are adults, with the oldest group being thirty years old.
?Therefore, the "Jurassic Park" series is simply their youth, and those vivid dinosaurs are their best memories of that year.
Therefore, money has a price, youth is priceless, and memories are priceless. Therefore, many movie fans went to the theater to watch it out of sentiment. This also made "Jurassic Park 6" a box office hit.
??The final North American box office was US$370 million, and the global box office was nearly US$1 billion. Such outstanding results also bring a perfect ending to the "Jurassic Park" series.
??Tang Wei also gained a lot of limelight because of his performance in this movie. Although I haven''t completely turned over yet, my situation is much better than before.
…
In September, Xiang Nan made an appointment with Gal Gadot.
??Gal Gadot is a Hebrew. She won the title of Hebrew beauty pageant champion at the age of nineteen. She joined the army in the same year and retired two years later to enter the entertainment industry.
?But her path was not smooth.
Because today’s Hollywood is already dominated by the second generation of stars and the second generation of rich people.
?Like Jaden Smith, when he was still a child, he starred with his father in "The Pursuit of Happiness". When he was ten years old, he partnered with Jackie Chan in "The Kung Fu Dream" and became the most promising star in Hollywood.
?It is very, very difficult for a beautiful woman like Gal Gadot, who has no background, no wealth, and only one beauty, to get ahead in Hollywood.
?So she has been developing in Hollywood for more than three years. So far, she has not starred in any movie, but only played small roles in film and television dramas.
So when she learned that Xiang Nan asked her to meet, she rushed over immediately.
"Hello, Mr. Charles, it''s really an honor to meet you." She said respectfully.
"Don''t be so nervous, just relax." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I invited you here today because I want you to play a role."
“Really?! That’s great.” Jiaduo was extremely excited when he heard it.
She has been in Hollywood for more than three years and has yet to land a decent role. Her appearance, talent and acting skills are really wasted, so she is very eager to succeed.
