Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"Mr. Ning, why are you so successful, can you pass on some secrets to me?" Xia Wenxi asked curiously.

"There is only one secret to my success, and that is to be eye-catching." Xiang Nan laughed, "Being a human being, you must be eye-catching. You must know what you have and what you want, so that you can use what you have to get what you want.

Many people just don't know what they have, and they don't know what they want, so they spend their lives in a daze and waste their time. "

Xia Wenxi listened, pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Mr. Ning, I understand, thank you."

"You're welcome." Xiang Nan smiled, "Do you know what you want now?"

Xia Wenxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Then do you know what you have now?" Xiang Nan asked again with a smile.

Xia Wenxi nodded again.

"Since that's the case, let's take action." Xiang Nan smiled, "Looking at the fish in the abyss, it's better to retreat and make a net."

Xia Wenxi nodded, then took off her clothes and walked in front of Xiang Nan...

...

A few days later, when Xiang Nan returned to the city, he received a call from Zou Wenhuai.

"Ah Wei, good news, the test screening of "Ghostbusters" was very successful, and the audience responded enthusiastically." He said excitedly.

Golden Harvest also invested in the movie "Ghostbusters", so Zou Wenhuai naturally paid attention to the results of the test screening.

"I expected it a long time ago." Xiang Nan smiled.

"You really hold your breath." Seeing Xiang Nan's calmness, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help laughing, "I was so worried that I didn't sleep all night."

"Actually, I didn't sleep all night." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Well, congratulations to Mr. Zou, this time he's going to get rich again."

"It should be said that we are happy together." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile, "Awei, you are indeed a rare talent. I have not misjudged the person."

"Mr. Zou is too much." Xiang Nan smiled.

...

In July, "Food Truck" was officially released.

The total box office is 21 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a very good result. If the income from other places is included, Golden Harvest can not only recover the cost, but also make a lot of money. Generally speaking, it is also very good.

Therefore, Golden Harvest is willing to delegate more power and invest more in Sammo Hung and others.

After Sammo Hung gained confidence, he immediately started filming "Five Lucky Stars". The idea of ​​this movie was already thought of when they were filming "Food Truck" in Europe.

The fire of "Best Partner" made Sammo Hung realize that urban action comedies are promising.

However, their individual box office appeal is far less than that of Xiang Nan, so Sammo Hung wanted to play a combination card. Get a bunch of stars to make a film, gather everyone's strength, don't believe it can't beat Xiang Nan alone.

So the idea of ​​"Five Lucky Stars" came out.

...

In July, Xiang Nan also ended his role in "Best Partner 2", and then went to the United States to participate in the promotion of "Ghostbusters".

Because his movie is scheduled to be released in July, when Xiang Nan was filming "Best Partner 2", he first filmed scenes related to himself in order to grab the schedule.

This is also the preferential treatment of big-name stars. If it is just a small role, even if there are only a few scenes, you may have to come to the crew every day to wait for orders.

Coming to the United States to promote "Ghostbusters", Xiang Nan is already familiar with the road.

Going on the show to do promotion, accepting newspaper interviews, hyping up scandals with Phoebe Cates... everything is already familiar.

While promoting the movie, Xiang Nan submitted the project of "Die Hard 2" to Warner Pictures.

Warner then began the review.

"Die Hard 2" tells the story of John McClain, who inadvertently encountered a terrorist attack when he was picking up his girlfriend's plane at the airport.

It turned out that a certain drug lord was extradited to the United States for trial. In order to avoid sanctions, he hired a group of international mercenaries to hijack the flight and force the government to make concessions.

Because his girlfriend's plane was also among them, John McClain had no choice but to come forward and deal with the gangsters...

The story scene of this movie takes place at the airport, and there is also a scene of a plane crash. It can be said that the scene is much larger than the first one.

Therefore, the investment has risen from the previous 15 million US dollars to about 40 million US dollars. In the American film industry at the time, this was already considered a super-big thing, so Warner, as rich and powerful as Warner, had to act with caution.

...

At this time, "Ghostbusters" officially released.

This fantasy horror film with grand scenes and astonishing special effects is different from the wanton exaggeration of the horror atmosphere in general horror films, and it only scares the audience without crying.

This movie is lively and exciting, fresh and fun, and many scenes are not only not scary, but funny. Even the last big boss is a cotton candy baby more than ten stories high, which even makes people feel a little cute.

But it was such a comedy-filled fantasy horror film that was well received by the audience after it was released, making the box office explode.

On the first day, the box office has exceeded five million US dollars, which is much higher than the box office of "Flying Dragon" starring John Travolta, which was released in the same period.

You know, John Travolta is known as the king of dancing, even the White House invited him to be a guest, and the starring roles of "Grease" and "Saturday Night Fever" had achieved box office miracles that year.

And "Flying Dragon" is the sequel to "Saturday Night Fever", and it was also directed by Sylvester Stallone. The combination of the two powers did not beat Xiang Nan and a group of newcomers, which shocked Hollywood.

What shocked them even more was that the box office of "Ghostbusters" soared all the way and remained at a high level. In the end, it earned 110 million US dollars in box office in North America alone.

This movie caused a frenzy among teenagers.

"Come on, Devil Busters!" became the mantra of the children; the uniforms worn by the Ghostbusters became one of the best-selling costumes; the slightly embarrassing logo of the Ghostbusters sold tens of millions of copies...

Obviously, this movie, like "Star Wars", has become a phenomenon-level movie. It can be said that before the death of this generation of Americans, this movie will continue to create amazing benefits.

Just like a tin frog, as long as the post-80s generation is still alive, there will never be a shortage of buyers for this toy.

...

In the end, "Ghostbusters" won an astonishing box office of 240 million US dollars worldwide.

Xiang Nan has also become a super first-line movie star on an equal footing with Harrison Ford, Sylvester Stallone, and Al Pacino, and his voice has greatly increased.

Moreover, with the success of "Ghostbusters" at the box office, Warner also quickly passed the review of "Die Hard 2" and decided to invest 40 million U.S. dollars to make this movie, and Xiang Nan's salary was raised to 800. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

At the time, this was considered to be the top salary in Hollywood. But this is not as good as Xiang Nan's box office dividend from the "Ghostbusters" movie.

He and Warner have set a rule of 3% of the box office share, which is more than 3.3 million US dollars in the United States alone. Counting the share of overseas box office, Xiang Nan earned more than 10 million U.S. dollars from this one movie alone.

In the early 1980s, he was definitely a rich man.
