Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Entering June, "Terminator 2" directed by James Cameron is finally released.

The film began to be produced the year before last, and the post-production was once stagnant due to lack of funds.

Later, it was Xiang Nan who acquired Karoco Films and provided sufficient production funds to allow the post-production to continue.

It was originally produced at the end of last year, but there was no good schedule at that time, so it has been delayed until now.

After "Terminator 2" was released, it immediately caused a strong sensation in the film industry.

On the one hand, its special effects are truly unparalleled. Whether it is the T800 played by Schwarzenegger or the T1000 played by Robert Patrick, the special effects are too realistic.

Especially the T1000 liquid robot, its special effects will not look outdated even after 20 or 30 years. In the 1990s, it was even more eye-catching.

People had never imagined that such an amazing picture could be seen on the screen, so they were all shocked.

On the one hand, even if the role of special effects is excluded, the story of "Terminator 2" is very full. The plot is ups and downs, the rhythm is hearty, and the two hours are long without a moment of silence.

This is the skill of James Cameron, the world's top director, which is amazing.

It is precisely because of this that "Terminator 2" was a big hit at the box office when it was released. In North America alone, it won a box office of 200 million US dollars. Compared with its cost of 120 million US dollars, it is actually not profitable.

But with the 300 million overseas box office, this movie, Karoco Films can make a lot of money. It's a pity that Karoco Films was sold to Xiang Nan last year.

This made many shareholders regret it. If you had known that "Terminator 2" was such a hit, you should have finished filming this movie.

The great success of "Terminator 2" made director Cameron finally rank among the first-line directors in Hollywood and became a famous director.

And the leading actor Arnold Schwarzenegger became popular all over the world, and his fame is catching up with Xiang Nan, and he has the potential to become the number one action actor in Hollywood.

However, Xiang Nan has long since shed his star status. How many years earlier, he was not just a star, but a successful producer, and now he is the boss of Universal Pictures. Therefore, no matter how famous Schwarzenegger is, he is also a part-time worker.

Besides, it's not that Xiang Nan doesn't have new works.

In July, "Mission Impossible" starring him, Jennifer Connelly and Catherine Zeta-Jones was officially released.

"Mission: Impossible" is an American TV series released in the 1960s. It tells the story of an unrecognized special team dedicated to solving various difficult events.

The leader of the team is responsible for the planning. According to the different abilities of each member, a foolproof plan is made, and then everyone implements according to the plan, and finally completes the task.

This show was very popular at the time, and it took seven seasons in total, which affected a large part of the audience. Young people in their 20s and 30s basically watched this TV series when they were young.

So when it was released, many people flocked into the cinema for the first time. But the story of this movie surprised them.

The leader turned out to be a traitor to the organization, and apart from the hero and heroine, there were no survivors. In the end, the heroine showed her true colors, and it turned out that she had already rebelled with the leader and got involved.

Such a subversive plot really exceeded their expectations. But such an arrangement also makes the story full of reversals and suspense, bringing the audience a different viewing experience.

To be honest, if it is just a simple revenge story, then the excitement of this movie will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and it will also fall into clichés. Now this flip is just right, so fans are very happy.

And audiences who haven't watched the show before will have no difficulty watching this movie alone. And, even without its predecessor, this movie is still a fantastic, exciting action blockbuster.

Especially the scene where Xiang Nan sneaked into the CIA headquarters to steal the list of agents. Although there was no fighting scene, the whole process was a battle of wits and courage, which was exciting and really made the audience's hormones soar.

Therefore, "Mission: Impossible" was a big success.

The North American box office is 180 million US dollars, and the global box office is 450 million US dollars.

And it cost only $70 million, $50 million less than "Terminator 2." So in terms of revenue ratio, "Mission: Impossible" is actually more profitable.

In August, "The Bodyguard," starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston, officially launched.

This movie tells the story of the bodyguard played by the male protagonist who is invited to protect the safety of the singer Melanie. In the process of helping her solve one life-threatening crisis after another, the seeds of love are also planted...

This is a thrilling, romantic and touching movie.

Kevin Costner, considered to be the most popular star in Hollywood in recent years, almost every year there are hot movies released. "Ghostbusters 3", "The Untouchables", "A Million Dollar Arm", "Dances with Wolves", "Killing Kennedy"...

The movies he starred in were well-received and well-received, and they really attracted a lot of fans. The industry also has a very high evaluation of him, thinking that if he continues to develop like this, his achievements will be limitless.

After all, it has been a long time since Hollywood has had such an entertainer who can act and direct, and is extremely charismatic and box-office appealing.

Whitney Houston debuted as a model in 1981 and was the first African-American model to appear on the cover of a mainstream magazine. In 1985, she released her first solo album, and it sold 25 million copies, which started a legend in the music world.

And she is not only outstanding in music, but also very talented in acting. Completed the role in "The Bodyguard" very well, and it was not too difficult to play opposite Kevin Costner.

It can be seen that her potential is really high, and even the industry praises her for her outstanding acting skills. In the future, she may become a superstar like Barbra Streisand who has made achievements in film and television.

After the release of "Bodyguard", the box office reputation was good.

In the end, the North American box office was 120 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 405 million U.S. dollars, creating another box office miracle.

Whitney Houston has become a superstar in the film industry, straddling the two worlds of music and film, and the limelight is the same for a while, making Madonna almost cry.

She obviously fought for this movie, but unfortunately, Xiang Nan only gave her the third round of auditions, but she was still rejected.

It would be great if she can star in this movie without being selected. She will become a star of both music and film, and will trample all those competitors under her feet.

It's a pity that she is now the one being trampled underfoot. Therefore, Madonna was very angry, and even considered investing in a movie with her own money, letting herself be the starring role, so as not to be ridiculed again.
