Xiang Nan was filming "Iron Man" from April to October.
In December, the film "Shu Lai Bao" starring him was officially released.
The film invested US$60 million and was released during the Christmas season in December. It was originally going to be at a disadvantage against competition from blockbusters such as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," "The Prestige," and "Night at the Museum." of.
??But what I didn’t expect was that this live-action and animated film for children actually achieved a counterattack. The box office in North America alone reached US$210 million, and the global box office exceeded US$400 million.
This movie is also the first time that Xiang Nan has a box office of over 400 million, which can be said to be another great achievement.
The film has achieved such high results, which once again proves Xiang Nan’s amazing box office appeal and excellent vision for film selection.
?Since his debut, the movies he has chosen have basically won both box office and word-of-mouth success. He has become a movie star step by step. He is really lucky.
?The success of "Shu Lai Bao" has also allowed the outside world to see Xiang Nan''s comedy talent and more possibilities.
?Hence, the crew of "The Hangover" also found him and asked him to play the lead role of Phil, who took his best friend to Las Vegas for a bachelor party, but ended up losing his best friend...
?In addition, due to the huge success of "Raybuck", the producer Fox Pictures also immediately put "Raybuck 2" on the schedule.
…
In 2007, Xiang Nan began to prepare a new album for Irina.
?The new album still follows the path of pure love, and the songs are all provided by Xiang Nan, such as "youbelongwithme", "lovestory", "ILOVEYOULIKEALOVESONG", "Fearless" and so on.
In comparison, Xiang Nan has not made a new album for the time being because he has to film "The Hangover". He has only released a few singles, such as the peace-calling dance song "Where Is Love", the R&B style "Telling the World", and the hip-hop dance song "Halloffame". 》.
?The standard is still there, so the title of the King of Music is still maintained perfectly.
?In 2007, Xiang Nan also exposed the CIA''s hourglass plan.
?This plan is a latent plan specifically targeting foreign countries, and many of its agents have already reached high-level and key departments.
They steal the country’s confidential information and develop and expand the country’s intelligence lines, which can be said to be extremely harmful.
? ? The exposure of the Hourglass Project almost wiped out all the CIA’s latent agents.
? And naturally, all countries will not be polite to these exposed spies. They will arrest them, imprison them, and kill them. This has caused extremely heavy losses to the CIA.
Even the director of the CIA was forced to resign as a result.
After all, once hundreds of hidden agents are captured, someone must take responsibility.
?Moreover, they still have to find ways to rescue those agents, which requires a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
…
In March 2008, "The Hangover" was officially released.
??This is a low-budget R-rated comedy film with a total cost of only US$30 million.
??However, because the plot is very cleverly arranged, not only is it full of suspense, but the process of solving the puzzle also bursts out with countless jokes.
Hence, it became very popular after its launch.
??The final North American box office was US$270 million, breaking the box office record for an R-rated movie. The global box office is 560 million US dollars, which is even more successful than many major productions with over 100 million US dollars.
It is worth mentioning that Xiang Nan did not receive remuneration for this movie, but instead received a share. Otherwise, the total investment in this film would have been only 30 million US dollars, and Xiang Nan''s own salary would have been 15 million.
?If he wants to receive enough salary, then the movie will not be made. So he took his salary in exchange for a share. Now that "The Hangover" is a hit, Xiang Nanguang Fen has earned less than 100 million US dollars. In May 2008, "Iron Man" was officially released.
??This is the first work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, telling the story of how Tony Stark grew from a **** to a superhero.
Because the story is wonderfully arranged, the characters’ growth arcs are perfect, and the special effects are amazing. Coupled with the mecha plot that both boys have, "Iron Man" became an instant hit once it was released.
??In the end, the North American box office was US$320 million, and the global box office was approaching US$600 million. Xiang Nan also received a salary of US$30 million.
??And because three consecutive movies have grossed more than $400 million at the box office, and each one still doubled the revenue. Xiang Nan has also officially become one of the top Hollywood stars.
The remuneration has soared from 15 million before to 30 million now, which is a huge increase.
??And more importantly, with the box office success of "Iron Man", the Marvel Cinematic Universe was officially launched. Iron Man played by Xiang Nan, as the core of the Avengers, is equivalent to an iron rice bowl.
Next, he will star in "Iron Man 2 and 3", "Captain America 3", "Avengers 1, 2, 3, 4" and so on. One film a year can last for one to five years. This is A good business with guaranteed profit and no loss.
…
In the following years, Xiang Nan went on to film "Sherlock 2", "The Hangover 2", "Sherlock Holmes 1 and 2", "Source Code", "Gone Girl", "Now You See Me" ,2》etc.
Not only did he make a lot of money, but he also gained great fame and reputation.
In 15 years, Xiang Nan officially went through the procedures for naturalization in the United States and became a legal citizen of the United States.
The reason for naturalizing in the United States is to reduce the chance of exposure. The St. Kitts and Nevis passport in his hand is really eye-catching. Now that he has changed it to an American passport, he can come and go much more freely.
Secondly, the U.S. intelligence agencies still have some scruples about their own citizens. The Stumbling Block Project only targeted foreigners, and later the Black Heather Project began to target Chinese.
?After naturalization, Xiang Nan later revealed the bottom line plan, which is designed to monitor suspected dangerous elements in the United States.
There are American citizens among them, as well as many foreign nationals, among whom Chinese, Middle Eastern, and some African-American human rights activists are the most numerous.
They are all suspected of potentially causing harm to the United States. Therefore, their phones, computers, emails and even bank accounts are all under surveillance.
? And once possible clues are discovered, they will be immediately arrested, tortured, and deported, which can be said to be quite cruel.
?After this intelligence broke out, the CIA received another round of condemnation.
In the United States, people take privacy very seriously. They don''t want anyone to interfere in their lives and invade their privacy. Now the CIA is monitoring their phone calls and checking their computers, emails, and bank accounts. This is a huge offense to them.
So they protested one after another, and even jointly hired lawyers to file a lawsuit with the CIA, demanding an apology and compensation.
For a time, the CIA was again troubled.
The director, who has only been in office for two years, is about to be replaced again. The person in charge of the bottom line plan and the entire project team were also laid off.
??The newly appointed CIA director is none other than Robert Dewey, who appeared in "The Bourne Supremacy V".
Xiang Nan knows that this is also a ruthless character.
Not only did he notice the value of big data at the beginning of the Internet’s popularization, but he also used funds to support Internet giants and let them become his own information sources. It can be said that he is sly and sophisticated.
Furthermore, when he sensed that they were rebellious, he would immediately order them to be eliminated, which was quite ruthless.
?The rise of such a ruthless figure also shows that the CIA has no signs of changing at all, and they will continue to act and do the same evil things.
Just like Project Stumbling Stone was followed by Project Black Heather, Project Deep Dream was followed by Project Iron Hand, and Project Emerald Lake was followed by Project Harvest and Project Lux.
