Chapter 3158 3160【Marriage】


    "Horror House of Wax" was a box office hit, making Xiang Nan the darling of Hollywood. For a time, countless film offers came one after another.


    ??The other movie starring Xiang Nan, "Dance My Life", is also taking advantage of Xiang Nan''s popularity and will be officially released in the summer season in July.


    In order to promote this movie, Xiang Nan released a new song - "timber" to promote the movie.


    "Timber" is a song co-written by Ke$ha and rapper Pitbull. The style of this song is very unique. It is a weird song that combines rap, dance music, folk music, pop and electronic music. It is very innovative, alternative and diverse. change.


    After its release, it became very popular and topped the Billboard charts for three weeks. It also topped the music charts in more than 30 countries.


    Hence this song can be said to be quite popular.


    Xiang Nan invited Ariana to collaborate with him on this song. He is responsible for the rap part, and Ariana is responsible for the singing part.


    This is Xiang Nan’s first attempt at rap, and also the first collaboration between the two of them.


    After "timber" was released, it became very popular.


    Especially among young people, it is widely popular. Because this song is so suitable to be played at parties, it is quite popular.


    With the popularity of this song, the popularity of "Dance My Life" has naturally increased.


    After it was released in July, it achieved a double explosion in box office and word-of-mouth. The final box office in North America was US$110 million and the global box office was US$170 million.


    ?The key point is that the production cost of this film was only 10 million US dollars, and the publicity cost was only 15 million US dollars. Therefore, the box office was considered a big hit.


    ??Those who participated in this film, both on stage and behind the scenes, naturally benefited from it. Especially Xiang Nan, as the male protagonist, he dances hip-hop in the film, has a hot figure and cool moves, which is quite attractive to girls.


    Hence, the box office contribution of girls in the film is much more than that of boys, which further proves Xiang Nan’s appeal.


    …


    ??Two consecutive movies were box office hits, making Xiang Nan quickly become popular in Hollywood.


    films come one after another, one after another.


    In the end, Xiang Nan chose "The Butterfly Effect" and "The Notebook" after screening.


    ?This made his agent, Charles Spencer, slightly puzzled.


    Because "The Butterfly Effect" and "The Notebook" were both produced with a small budget.


    The cost of "The Butterfly Effect" was only 13 million US dollars, and the salary given to Xiang Nan was only 2 million US dollars.


    The cost of "The Notebook" was only US$26 million, and the salary given to Xiang Nan was only US$3.5 million.


    Comparatively, Fox Pictures'' "Fantastic Four", which is about to start filming, invited Xiang Nan to star in Mr. Fantastic, and the film was paid US$6 million.


    ??Moreover, this movie is a large-scale production, with a total investment of up to 100 million US dollars. It is a veritable super blockbuster.


    Xiang Nan actually rejected the invitation for this movie and chose to star in these two low-budget movies. The combined salary was not as high as the "Fantastic Four" movie, which naturally made the agent feel puzzled.


    But Xiang Nan knows that "The Butterfly Effect" and "The Notebook" are both movies that have achieved both good reputation and box office success.


    "The Butterfly Effect" has a box office of nearly US$100 million and is considered one of the best soft science fiction films; "The Notebook" has a global box office of US$250 million and is a masterpiece of romance films.


    By comparison, Fox''s "Fantastic Four" cost only US$100 million to produce, but its global box office was only US$300 million, barely recouping the money. Later, he forced himself to film "Fantastic Four 2", which was a hit at the box office and received good reviews, so that "Fantastic Four 3" was stillborn. Xiang Nan didn''t hesitate to act in a street-breaking work like this.


    ?However, he didn’t say these things to his agent. He just told him, “I read these scripts and I think these two are more interesting.”


    When Charles saw what he said, he could only nod.


    He is just a broker, not a slave owner. He can only give Xiang Nan suggestions, but cannot force him to do things.


    …


    Subsequently, Xiang Nan first joined the crew of "The Butterfly Effect" and then went to the crew of "The Notebook".


    During the filming, he also recorded his second album "wefoundlove", which contains more than a dozen classic songs such as "wefoundlove", "OneMoreNight", "needyounow", "weareyoung", "CrazyInLove" and so on.


    ?In addition, Ariana’s first album is also being recorded.


    The songs in the album were all written by Xiang Nan, including "Ireallylikeyou", "tiktok", "dieyoung", "tryevrthing", "letitgo", and "babyboy", a collaboration with Xiang Nan.


    In November, Irena''s first album of the same name "IAMirena" was officially released.


    Xiang Nan specially spent two million US dollars on publicity and promotion for this purpose, making sure that Irena became an instant hit and promoted to a first-line singer.


    ?Ariana has already had two hit singles, "Timber" and "Call Me Maybe". The new song still continues the previous style, taking the sweet love genre, and naturally continues to be supported by fans.


    ?Coupled with Xiang Nan''s vigorous promotion, the "IAMirena" album eventually sold more than three million copies. At a time when the physical record industry is shrinking, it is quite rare to achieve such results.


    In December, Xiang Nanze and Mary held a simple and holy wedding in Hamburg, Germany, in the chapel where her grandparents, parents, and parents were married.


    ?Except for Mary’s grandmother, Mary’s brother, and sister-in-law, no one else was invited to this wedding.


    Xiang Nan actually doesn’t want to make a big deal about it. It''s not that he''s afraid of affecting his popularity, but he doesn''t want Mary to be attacked by the media.


    After all, there was almost a huge uproar in the media when they got engaged before. If they really get married, I''m afraid Mary will be scolded to death by them.


    ?So Xiang Nan decided to keep a low profile, as long as his family was happy, and the whole world would know if he didn''t make a noise.


    You must know that except for your blood relatives, no one else in this world wants you to live a good life. Not to mention outsiders, even relatives and friends are no exception.


    …


    "Congratulations, sister~" Martin congratulated Mary, and then looked at Xiang Nan, "I really didn''t expect that you would actually marry my sister."


    "What are you talking about? I''m afraid you won''t marry me." Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    Martin was very moved when he heard it.


    In fact, he felt that his sister and Xiang Nan were not a good match. His sister had no education or education. She had been wandering around in the early years and had some experiences.


    Comparatively, Xiang Nan is the king of singing, with a net worth of over 100 million US dollars. Compared with such a person, my sister is completely different.


    So he has been worried that Xiang Nan might abandon his sister, so he has always been worried. Unexpectedly, the two of them were actually married now, which made him feel happy for his sister.
