Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 1846 1848 [Fate is impermanent]

Xiang Nan is very happy that the two films he participated in won awards at the Cannes Film Festival.

For him, this is even more powerful.

Because although his films sold well before, he rarely won awards. This has become an excuse for some caring people to criticize his films for being too commercial but not artistic.

The so-called talk of the mouth makes money, and the accumulation of ruins destroys the bones. There are too many criticisms of this kind, which is not good for Xiang Nan.

Just like when Zhang Yimou filmed "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", "Curse of the Golden Armor", etc., he was also criticized in this way. If it weren't for the Olympic Games to bring back a tube of blood for him, he would have been nailed to the pillar of shame.

Just like Wang Jing, who has made so many excellent works with good reputation and box office, but now people mention his first impression, or shit, bad movies, vulgar!

Fortunately, his film has won an award at the Cannes Film Festival. A Palme d'Or and a Jury Prize. In addition to the Silver Bear and Golden Bear awards at the Berlin Film Festival, whoever talks about awards in the future will open their eyes and talk nonsense.

...

In the same month, "The White-headed Detective" was officially launched.

This film was independently invested by Xiang Nan, and the filming cost was 13 million US dollars, which is not too high. However, after its release, the box office was not bad.

Because this kind of spoof movie is popular now, and if nothing else, it will continue into the next century.

It's just that most of the spoof films in the next century are only spoofed and poorly produced. Such as "Epic Movie", "Disaster Movie", "This Is Not Sparta" and so on. The word-of-mouth and box office of spoof movies have plummeted.

Having said that, after the release of "The White-headed Detective", the box office is quite good. The North American box office is more than 78 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office is more than 150 million U.S. dollars.

Because this movie was invested by Xiang Nan himself, the income was at least 40 million US dollars, which is definitely a big profit.

The popularity of this movie also made the leading actor Leslie Nielsen finally taste the taste of popularity at the age of more than 50 years after his debut 30 years ago.

It can also be seen that the fate of life is impermanent, no matter what kind of cards you catch, you should not give up easily. Play hard, play hard, maybe you can turn a bad hand into a king.

...

In July, the fantasy comedy action movie "Ghostbusters 2" starring Xiang Nan, Kevin Costner, Bruce Willis, Pierce Brosnan, Mel Gibson and Nicole Kidman was officially released .

The predecessor of this movie caused a sensation in the United States when it was released the year before last, and even became a popular trend. Now two years later, the charm of "Ghostbusters" remains the same.

It is still one of the most popular rental videos, and its annual reruns still earn over tens of millions of dollars at the box office.

Therefore, when "Ghostbusters 2" was released, more than 5,000 theaters in North America were screened at the same time, and the box office on the first day had exceeded 10 million US dollars.

And the audience's response was also very good, thinking that it was more exciting than a plot and more enjoyable to watch. This is mainly because Xiang Nan joined the setting, which enriched the story and enriched the content.

Therefore, the box office of this movie is very good, and its reputation has also improved compared with the previous one. In the end, the movie grossed US$240 million in North America and more than US$400 million worldwide.

In the 1980s, it was the first movie with a global box office of more than 400 million. Compared with its 40 million US dollars investment, it can be said that it has made a lot of money.

As a producer and lead actor, Xiang Nan earned more than 50 million US dollars in total. Just over halfway through 1986, Xiang Nan earned more than 100 million US dollars.

This kind of income also makes colleagues envious.

...

"Charles, you are really rich. Your annual income is enough for me to earn for a hundred years." Cindy Crawford laughed.

When Xiang Nan heard this, he also laughed.

On the surface, he made more than 100 million U.S. dollars, but in fact, including his investments, he made 7.8 billion U.S. dollars a year. That's right, in the past few years, he has successively purchased stocks in companies such as Coca-Cola, Intel, Microsoft, EA, and Oracle.

And with the improvement of the American economy in the past few years, the funds in his hands have grown steadily, and have swelled to more than one billion US dollars.

However, even though he had money, Xiang Nan didn't spend it recklessly. The luxury cars and mansions in his hands are all rented. Even when attending the event, some of the jewelry worn, such as diamond brooches, antique watches, etc., are also rented.

Because he saved all the money and planned to use it for the acquisition of Universal Pictures in the future. And this is expected to cost at least five billion U.S. dollars, so we have to save some money.

"When you become the heroine of my movie in the future, you will become the top supermodel. At that time, you will earn tens of millions of dollars a year. If you want to earn 100 million, you can do it in less than ten years." Xiang Nan laughed.

When Cindy Crawford heard this, she smiled awkwardly.

If before, ten million dollars was still a dream for her, and it was out of reach. But now, watching Xiang Nan earns tens of millions of dollars for a movie, at least 100 million hours a year. Ten million is not so fragrant to her.

It's just that she knew in her heart that her relationship with Xiang Nan was only temporary.

Xiang Nan only promised to give her a movie heroine, but never made other guarantees, and he didn't even disclose their relationship to the outside world.

Therefore, she should not dream of marrying Xiang Nan and sharing his property. That being the case, it is still the most precious thing you can get.

So she asked, "So, when will the movie start?"

"Don't worry, it's coming soon." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I'm already writing the script, I promise it will suit you."

"Thank you, Charles." Crawford was very happy when he heard that.

...

Xiang Nan then came up with three film projects.

One is "Robocop", which was a well-known American sci-fi action film in the late 1980s. There were as many as three films in a row. It also released episodes and animations.

In addition, in 2014, Hollywood also tried to restart this IP. It's a pity that the box office and word-of-mouth were not satisfactory, so the restart plan had to be terminated.

One is "Cocktail". The film is a romance about a handsome young man who becomes a prodigal son only to learn that true love is gone.

Starring Tom Cruise, this movie was a hit that year, making bartending a hot industry overnight, and also becoming synonymous with handsome guys and romantic encounters.

One is "Rain Man". This movie is a family romance film about the sudden death of the hero's father and the inheritance is handed over to the client. Only then did the hero know that he has a big brother, but the big brother seems to have a problem with his IQ.

So the male lead wanted to trick his eldest brother into getting all the inheritance. But in the process of getting along, the bonds of blood and family finally awakened his conscience...

The film, also starring Tom Cruise, not only won the box office title of the year, but also won four Oscars.
