Save the Bachelor of Heaven
Chapter 1816 1818【Making money is king】
"Which are the most recent beauties in the city?" Xiang Nan asked Wang Jing.
"Weng Meiling and Chen Yulian under Wireless are not bad, Ni Shipei from Lidi, Hu Guanzhen and Hu Huizhong from Taiwan are also good." Wang Jing introduced, "And Xia Wenxi and Ye Tong under Tan Jiaming are also good."
Xiang Nan nodded.
Except for Hu Guanzhen and Ni Shipin, who he was not familiar with, he was quite familiar with everyone else.
All things considered, Xia Wenxi was more in line with his requirements.
Xia Wenxi debuted in 1982, starring in "Fire Youth", because the scale was too large, it caused controversy after it was released, and was withdrawn by the prosecution office and edited again.
This is the first time in Hong Kong film industry.
Her debut film is so open-minded, which is quite rare in the Xiangjiang film industry. It is precisely because of this that Xia Wenxi became popular in an instant and successfully established her name in the film industry.
Xia Wenxi's appearance is full of coquettishness in her innocence, and temptation in her abstinence. It's perfect for playing the role of a hooker who uses beauty tricks.
Xiang Nan then extended an invitation to Xia Wenxi.
Naturally, Xia Wenxi would not refuse, and immediately agreed.
Thus, "Best Partner 2" officially started shooting.
At the same time, in the United States, "Back to the Future" is also officially filming.
...
In May, the crew of "Food Trucks" finally returned from Spain.
They stayed there for more than half a year, although due to inflation in Spain, the appreciation of the Hong Kong dollar saved some expenses.
However, the production crew consisted of hundreds of people, and the cost was raised to 15 million Hong Kong dollars, which was higher than the investment of Xiang Nan's "Best Partner 2". Therefore, Golden Harvest is worried about whether it will lose money.
Jackie Chan was naturally a little apprehensive about this.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ning, I was too demanding, so that the cost was overrun." He first admitted his mistake to Xiang Nan.
Many shots were clearly shot well, but he felt that they could be shot better and kept improving, which was why he wasted a lot of time and increased a lot of expenses.
Originally, the film was planned to be filmed for four months, with a total investment of 10 million. As a result, the filming took seven months, and the cost increased by five million Hong Kong dollars.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. It's very common for a movie to overspend, as long as the box office can make it back. In other words, if the box office can't make it back, then your apology is worthless." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said,
"Aaron, you have to remember this. For a filmmaker, making money is king. I can gain a foothold in Hollywood because I can help them make money. Otherwise, how could they allow a Chinese to be arrogant?"
Regardless of Hollywood or Xiangjiang, capital controls everything. And capital is in pursuit of profit. If it does not make money, it will be quickly abandoned by capital.
Director Sergio Leone, who once directed the famous "A Good Man Trilogy", was abandoned by Hollywood because of the disastrous box office failure of "Once Upon a Time in America", and died of depression;
Kevin Costner, representative works of "Dances with Wolves", "Assassination of Kennedy" and "Bodyguard", won the Academy Award for Best Director at the age of 35. It can be said that the future is bright.
But because of the disastrous box office failure of "Future Water World", he has never recovered from a setback and lost the favor of all Hollywood giants.
There are countless similar examples in the entertainment industry.
After hearing this, Jackie Chan nodded solemnly.
...
At the end of June, "Food Truck" was officially released.
Leading actress Laura Fonner, Benny Uquidez and Keith Vitali, two famous fighters, were also invited to Hong Kong to promote the film.
When they learned that Xiang Nan was in Xiangjiang and was filming the new film "Best Partner 2", they all offered to come over to visit work.
For them, Xiang Nan is a world-class superstar, and he is a first-line star in Hollywood. Such celebrities, they rarely have the opportunity to know. If you are lucky enough to go to Hollywood with him to develop in the future, that would be really great.
You know, Stephen Seagal is now starring in B-level movies in Hollywood just because he played "Longwei Kid 2" with him. No matter the salary or fame, they are far from what they can get from filming "Fast Food Truck".
Jackie Chan stayed with them in Spain for several months, and they have become good friends with each other.
Hearing their request, he naturally tried to meet it.
So, the next day, after obtaining Xiang Nan's consent, he brought a few people to the shooting scene of "Best Partner 2".
"Charles, it's really an honor to meet you." Binny, Case, and Laura said excitedly when they saw Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan smiled and shook hands with them one by one, "You are welcome. You are Aaron's friends, and that is my friend."
Everyone was very happy to hear him say that.
To be treated as a friend by such a big star, even if it was a polite word, was enough to make them excited.
"You guys sit down first, I'll go filming, and we'll have a drink together at night." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Everyone nodded.
When they came this time, besides getting to know Xiang Nan, they also wanted to see how he filmed.
...
Xiang Nan then got up and went upstairs.
With an action, Xiang Nan jumped out of the balcony, and then fell down rapidly.
Seeing this scene, Jackie Chan, Binny, Case, and Laura all screamed out in fright.
Fortunately, most of Xiangjiang's films are dubbed behind the scenes, and there are very few on-site recordings, otherwise, they would have to be re-shooted.
However, after Xiang Nan jumped down, he grabbed the balcony on the next floor with both hands, and slowed down immediately. Then he acted one by one, and in a short while, he jumped from a dozen or so floors upstairs to downstairs, and the back and forth was only thirty seconds.
"OK, Cut!" Director Liu Guanwei shouted.
Jackie Chan and the others applauded in complete convincing.
Xiang Nan's movements seemed simple, but they were actually extremely difficult and dangerous.
He fell from the upper floor, each floor is about three meters high, and under the action of gravity acceleration, his speed will reach about eight meters per second.
With such speed and weight, with only a pair of arms as a buffer, the instantaneous impact force may reach nearly a thousand cattle, which is far beyond the capacity of ordinary people. And if you are negligent, if you miss it, you will die if you fall, there is no second possibility.
So this kind of action is really too difficult to imagine.
But looking at Xiang Nan with a relaxed expression, he didn't take it seriously at all. Their courage and strength naturally made them admire and couldn't help applauding.
Money is the hand of a servant, art is a pedestrian.
In fact, Binny, Case and others were somewhat dissatisfied with Xiang Nan. After all, they are all world-class champions, and they were genuinely played.
Although Xiang Nan said that he could open the stele, no one knew whether it was true or not, maybe it could be magic. Therefore, they all have some doubts in their hearts.
But seeing this scene now, they were really convinced.
If it were them, they would never dare to do such a dangerous action, and they would not even have the courage to try.
