Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"You should try to persuade me again. If it doesn't work, you will force me to take this play." Michelle Pfeiffer complained, "That way, I won't be a joke."

Hearing what she said, Xiang Nan couldn't laugh or cry.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, it's the same if she looks unreasonable.

"Okay, don't worry too much." He persuaded with a smile, ""Thelma and Louise" is also my work, and I have the same confidence in it. Don't worry, it won't be any worse than "The Silence of the Lambs" go."

"Really?" Michelle Pfeiffer asked suspiciously.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Okay." Michelle nodded, "If this movie is not popular, then you promise to arrange for me a movie that will be popular."

"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.

Michelle was relieved.

In October, Li Jiaxin's visa was approved, and then came to Hollywood.

Xiang Nan settled her in the Riccarton Hotel, which made Li Jiaxin a little dissatisfied.

She knew that Xiang Nan had a house in Hollywood. It was a mansion built in the 1960s, covering an area of ​​about 20 acres. It was built by the then American oil tycoon Joey Vanderpump in order to pursue the then Hollywood star Faye Dunaway. build.

But unfortunately, the two had broken up before the house was completed, so the house was sold by Vanderpump and a real estate company took over for rent.

In ** years, the U.S. real estate collapsed, and real estate companies were heavily in debt and faced liquidation. Xiang Nan bought it cheaply at less than one-tenth of the current market price, and made a profit of less than 10 million US dollars on this item alone.

This incident was later reported by the media, and it was taken as a case of his investment vision and spread for a long time.

Naturally, Li Jiaxin had also heard the news, because she was naturally dissatisfied with Xiang Nan's arrangement for her to stay in a hotel instead of his home.

"Do you want to stay in a hotel? I thought you would arrange for me to stay at your house." Li Jiaxin pretended to be casual.

"Why, you just wanted to come into my house, are you the master of the house?" Xiang Nan said with a smile when he heard it, "Don't worry, there has to be a process."

Li Jiaxin nodded, and then asked, "Charles, if you want me to develop in Hollywood, what good script can you give me?"

"Don't worry, I have arrangements." Xiang Nan smiled, "I promise I won't disappoint you."

He didn't plan to arrange for Li Jiaxin to act in a movie right away. The reason is simple, he invited Li Jiaxin to come to Hollywood to develop, but he just used it as bait.

Li Jiaxin's acting skills are not good, and her appearance is not outstanding in Hollywood. If you ask her to make a film, you dare not say that you will lose money, at least you have to take a big risk.

Xiang Nan was just greedy for her for a while, and he really didn't want to pay too much. And now a medium-budget movie in Hollywood has an investment of more than 20 million US dollars.

In order to pick up a girl, take a risk of 20 million dollars, unless Xiang Nan has a high fever and is confused.

Li Jiaxin nodded when he saw what he said.

...

For a while after that, Xiang Nan didn't arrange a movie for Li Jiaxin, but only helped her arrange to attend some events.

For example, Los Angeles Fashion Week, such as a fashion brand's new product launch, such as a party of a Hollywood superstar, such as an exhibition of a certain art master, etc.

These events are often full of celebrities and rich people. For ordinary people, they are all dreamed of, and there is no way to get in if they want to attend.

But for Xiang Nan, participating in it was a piece of cake.

Li Jiaxin is very willing to attend this kind of event, to enjoy the attention of all the people and the feeling of being superhuman, so he never tires of it, and gradually gets lost in the Vanity Fair of Hollywood.

There are two skills in the world of picking up girls. If she is not deeply involved in the world, take her to see the prosperity of the world;

Li Jiaxin has just debuted for two years, so he belongs to the level of inexperienced. And the prosperity of Hollywood is far beyond Xiangjiang's comparison. Even if those rich people chase her, they usually just give money and things, and show a little more courtesy, and they will never be able to reach Xiang Nan's level.

So within a month, Li Jiaxin was obediently captured by him.

In October, "Thelma and Louise" was released on the heels of "The Silence of the Lambs".

This movie, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Demi Moore, tells the story of a pair of best friends who accidentally kill someone in order to resist the harassment of a man when they meet for vacation. Without effective help, they have to start desperately End of the World story.

This is a feminist film that reflects the oppression and injustice suffered by women in the patriarchal society of the United States. It still looks very touching.

Coupled with the wonderful performances of Michelle Pfeiffer and Demi Moore, many viewers were really excited to watch, so the reputation of this movie is very good.

Seeing this, Michelle Pfeiffer breathed a sigh of relief.

What she worries most is that "Thelma \u0026 Louise" won't get a good response, and people will treat her as a joke when the time comes. But now "Thelma \u0026 Louise" received a very good response, which made her feel relieved.

Moreover, "Thelma \u0026 Louise" ended up with a North American box office of 45 million US dollars, and a global box office of nearly 100 million US dollars.

Although it is not as good as "The Silence of the Lambs", as a movie featuring two female stars, it is already very good to achieve such a result.

At least in Michelle Pfeiffer's opinion, it was worth it for her to give up "The Silence of the Lambs" for this movie.

...

In November, "Killing Kennedy," directed by Oliver Stone and starring Kevin Costner, was released.

This is a political thriller, which tells the story of prosecutor Jim Garrison, who finally revealed the truth about the assassination of President Kennedy through meticulous investigation.

The film's screenplay is based on a novel written by real-life Jim Garrison. In order to create this script, Oliver Stone did not hesitate to read hundreds of books on the Kennedy assassination case, and did a detailed compilation of materials.

And when shooting, he did not hesitate to spend money and strive for excellence.

For example, Kennedy's office in the movie was restored one-to-one according to the archives at the time, and a price of 70,000 US dollars was paid for it. But such a well-built office only appeared for eight seconds in the movie.

However, such efforts are still very effective.

Audiences spoke highly of the film, and thought the story was ups and downs and fascinating. Although it is three hours long, which is twice as long as ordinary movies, it is not boring at all when watching it. On the contrary, after watching it, it still makes people feel unfinished.

Therefore, the box office of this movie is very good, with a box office of more than 70 million US dollars in North America and as high as 205 million US dollars in the global box office.

Compared with an investment of 40 million US dollars, it can be said to be a big profit.
