Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"Die Hard 2", "Police Academy", "Dragon Boy 3", and "Mermaid", in the first three quarters of 1984 alone, Xiang Nan had four blockbuster films released, with a cumulative box office of more than 600 million US dollars.

This is unique in the history of Hollywood movies.

In Hollywood, it is very difficult to produce a blockbuster movie. Many filmmakers may not have a successful film throughout their lives. However, Xiang Nan's productions are all big hits, and the ones with the worst results are among the top ten in the annual box office rankings.

The ability to create blockbuster movies like this is simply terrifying. So much so that the whole of Hollywood hopes to cooperate with Xiang Nan.

The company hopes to cooperate with Xiang Nan in making films, the capital is willing to invest in his films, artists hope to participate in his films, and those unsuccessful screenwriters and producers all hope that he can recognize talents with his eyes... This makes Xiang Nan a man The meat and potatoes that everyone loves.

Xiang Nan lived up to everyone's expectations, and soon came up with three projects, namely "Top Gun", "Spring is Not a Day for Reading" and "Back to the Future 2".

"Top Gun" was the box office champion in 1986, with a North American box office of 180 million US dollars and a global box office of 360 million US dollars.

This movie is also Tom Cruise's famous work. Since then, he has been on the rise, and until the 2020s, he is still the top star in Hollywood.

"Spring is Not a Day for Studying" is a classic American youth comedy, telling the story of several naughty students playing truant to Chicago.

This movie has a great influence in the United States and is known as one of the most classic youth movies. Marvel's "Spider-Man: Homecoming" has a plot to pay tribute to this movie.

"Back to the Future 2" is the sequel to last year's "Back to the Future". If it is being filmed now, it is estimated that it will be released just next year.

Every two years, this rhythm is still good.

The three projects have made several companies move, but Xiang Nan has to look at which one to cooperate with. Anyway, he is not in a hurry now, he has plenty of time.

...

"Best Partner 3" filming continues.

Since the kiss that day, the relationship between Carol and Xiang Nan has achieved a breakthrough.

Now the two are filming during the day and get tired of getting up at night, living a very chic life.

But both of them knew that they had no future.

Because Carol actually had a boyfriend in France. Moreover, her family and career are all in France, so after filming, she is destined to go back.

But Xiang Nan's career is based in Hollywood and Xiangjiang, so he is destined not to go with her, but to separate from her.

And distance does not produce beauty, distance only creates barriers. Just like Xiang Nan and Miao Kexiu, they used to have a very close relationship. Since she moved to Canada, she and Xiang Nan haven't seen each other twice a year, and the relationship has gradually faded.

Since there is no future, they love each other crazily and unscrupulously.

Just like a person whose time is running out, he naturally no longer cares about whether smoking, drinking, or staying up late will harm his life. If you have wine today, you are drunk today, and you will worry about it tomorrow.

The crew members saw it in their eyes and were greedy in their hearts, but none of them dared to speak out.

After all, it's fun to have a mouthful for a while, but if you lose your job because of it, it's really not worth it.

...

In September, "The Goonies" was officially released.

This is also Xiang Nan's fourth film released this year, and almost all of them are starring newcomers. The most famous actor among them is Guan Jiwei who played in "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2".

However, Disney Pictures, the producer, has great expectations for this movie. Not for anything else, just because this movie was produced by Xiang Nan.

Therefore, it has made great efforts to promote and distribute it, intending to make it a blockbuster movie.

You must know that "The Goonies" is an adventure-themed movie, involving many elements such as puzzle solving, exploration, navigation, and treasures. If the movie hits, it could be introduced to Disneyland as one of its attractions, and its popularity is guaranteed.

After all, adventure is in the nature of children, and movies are the best publicity tools.

The media and audience are also very optimistic about the film's prospects.

After all, after so many successes, [Xiang Nan's product must be a high-quality product] has become a consensus.

On September 15th, the film was officially released.

Regardless of box office and word of mouth, it was as expected and very successful.

The media praised it as a juvenile version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", full of entertainment. The audience praised it for satisfying all their fantasies about adventure...

Reflected in the box office, the total box office in the first week has reached 20 million U.S. dollars, and won the top spot in the weekly box office rankings. The final North American box office was $61 million, and the global box office was $105 million.

And its production cost was only 15 million US dollars.

The re-success of "The Goonies" has further consolidated Xiang Nan's position, and also made the competition between "Back to the Future 2", "Spring is Not a Day of Reading" and "Top Gun" more intense.

...

In October, "Best Partner 3" was completed.

"Carol, if you want to go to Hollywood, I can arrange it for you." Xiang Nan said to Carol. After all, we have been together for four months and we get along quite happily, so he doesn't want to just follow she separates.

"No need. If I wanted to go to Hollywood, I would have gone there three years ago." Carol waved her hand.

In 1981, "The Top Secret 007" starring her and Roger Moore won a box office of more than 50 million US dollars in North America, ranking eighth in the annual box office list. Lots of Hollywood offers.

But the film contracts at that time basically asked her to play the role of a vase, so she rejected them all.

When Xiang Nan heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful, but he also admired her character.

You know, there are countless filmmakers who want to go to Hollywood to develop, and they will not hesitate to make great sacrifices for this. It is admirable that Carol turned down an opportunity that was so close at hand.

"Alright then." Xiang Nan nodded, "By the way, this is a script I wrote, you can take it back and read it. If you are satisfied, you can try filming it."

Carol was amazed.

Now due to the success of Xiang Nan's many films, the price of his scripts has also risen. A script is enough to sell for two to three million dollars, and there is still a price but no market.

After all, Xiang Nan has never sold a script, and has always participated in the production by himself. This is the first time he has written a script for someone, so Carol is a little flattered.

She then opened it and looked at it.

Just see the four characters in the script—"Fallen Angels", which tells a series of stories that happened after five characters with intertwined behaviors met each other under the urban night sky.

After watching it, Carol was immediately impressed by Xiang Nan's talent.
