Save the Bachelor of Heaven

In September, "League of Pink" starring Tom Hanks and Brooke Shields was officially released.

This is a sports movie, based on real people and events, about the story of baseball coach Jimmy Hagan coaching the women's baseball team.

The plot is compact, the plot is inspirational, and the comedy is strong, so it is still very attractive to the audience. Therefore, it finally won a box office of 107 million U.S. dollars and a global ticket of 130 million U.S. dollars.

After all, baseball is a sport that is relatively small in the world, so there are not many fans who are interested.

However, the box office of 130 million US dollars is really a lot for such a film with an investment of less than 20 million, and it is still a very successful work.

...

In September, the new season of American TV dramas started broadcasting.

"Friends", which Xiang Nan participated in the production, officially landed on NBC TV station. After the broadcast, the ratings were still good. More than 20 million viewers watched this series, ranking first in the same period.

Moreover, the media also gave a good evaluation of this American TV series, thinking that the tacit understanding between the six leading actors is still very high, and the plot is relatively humorous and interesting. This makes NBC television already very satisfied.

...

In October, "Scent of a Woman," starring Al Pacino, Leonardo DiCaprio and Catherine Zeta-Jones, opened.

The film mainly tells the story of a preparatory school student who works as an assistant to a blind officer.

Although the title of the film is "Scent of a Woman", the focus of the story is actually on the two men, the old and the young, and it mainly describes the friendship between men. From friction to familiarity, from repulsion to attraction, from disgust to liking...

The story of this movie is not really new. After all, this is also a remake of the story, the original is "Scent of a Woman" released in 1974.

But the wonderful performances of Al Pacino and Leonardo still make this movie very watchable.

The heroine played by Zeta Jones, although she didn't play much time, the tango dance with Al Pacino still made her amazing and became one of the most eye-catching actresses in Hollywood.

In the end, "Scent of a Woman" had a North American box office of US$63 million and a global box office of US$130 million. Compared with an investment of US$30 million, it can be said to be quite good.

...

In November, Universal Pictures released the film "Great Sea of ​​Justice" starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore and others.

The film tells the story of a young Navy lawyer who helps two Marines clear their grievances and bring justice to them. This film was prepared by the original Karoco Films, with a total investment of 40 million US dollars.

After it was released, the box office response was quite good. It finally won a box office of 140 million US dollars in North America and 230 million US dollars in the world. It can be said to be a great success.

This movie also once again proved Tom Cruise's box office appeal, so after that, his salary has been further improved.

...

In November, "Lethal Weapon 3" was officially completed.

Xiang Nan took the time to go back to Xiangjiang, and went to see Shanshan first.

She is developing well now, because she is taken care of by Wang Jing, and the movies of Real Kung Fu Films are her first choice, so she has participated in "The Deer and Ding Tale", "The Legend of Playing Back To School", "Casino Tycoon", "Peerless Double" Pride" and so on.

Although it's not really popular yet, but at least he has a familiar face, and he can be regarded as a star at the end of the line and at the beginning of the second line.

"Brother, what do you think of me now, am I qualified enough to go to Hollywood with you?" Shanshan asked expectantly.

"Actually, there's nothing good about Hollywood." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "It's just that there are more foreigners, and it's no different from Xiangjiang.

There are as many people, as many cars, and as many buildings, nothing new. And the people over there speak English, can you speak English? People over there eat steak and burgers, is your stomach okay? The law and order over there is worse than that of Xiangjiang. If you walk around casually, your bags may be robbed.

The key point is that there are not as many opportunities as in Xiangjiang. You can shoot four or five films a year in Xiangjiang. When you come to Hollywood, you are lucky to be able to make one movie a year. "

"Then why are people willing to go to Hollywood to develop?" Shanshan asked in puzzlement.

"This mountain looks as high as that mountain." Xiang Nan curled his lips when he heard this, "It is said that the moon in foreign countries is rounder. After I go out, I realize that only the moon in my hometown is the roundest. Shanshan, I know you want to come here." Help me, but you can't help right now."

"Then how can I help you?" Shanshan asked immediately after hearing this.

"At least you must have a college education or above, and have certain management skills and accounting knowledge." Xiang Nan explained, "Shanshan, Xiangjiang is my most important base. I have always been an outsider in Hollywood, and I am not really attracted by them Approved, so sooner or later I will return to Xiangjiang to develop.

And my foundation in Xiangjiang is now in the hands of Wang Jing. I hope you will be able to take over all of this in the future. Because I trust you 100%. "

Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Shanshan was immediately moved, "Brother, I will definitely study hard. Then I will manage the company well for you."

"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded.

...

Xiang Nan then went to see Wang Jing again.

Wang Jing was naturally happy to see Xiang Nan. Since he acquired Universal Pictures, Xiangjiang films have been released around the world through the distribution network of Universal Pictures.

This has greatly increased the income of Xiangjiang Films, which is naturally a good thing for Xiangjiang Films.

Because of their high income, they dare to invest more money to make movies, and they also have the resources to train more stars and more newcomers...

On the contrary, after the decline of Hong Kong films, Xiangjiang has never cultivated influential actors. The last group, Gu Tianle, Nicholas Tse, Yu Wenle, Wu Yanzu, etc., are almost fifty years old, and they are still on the front line.

This phenomenon is obviously abnormal.

We must know that Jackie Chan was only 24 years old when he made "The Snake Shaped Hand"; Andy Lau was only 22 years old when he made "The Legend of Condor Heroes"; Wang Yuxian was only 20 years old when he made "A Chinese Ghost Story".

The more prosperous an industry is, the younger the practitioners are. On the contrary, the more lonely an industry is, the older the practitioners will be.

"Mr. Ning, thanks to you, our Xiangjiang movies can be sold all over the world." Wang Jing said with a smile, "You have made the Xiangjiang film industry earn at least one billion Hong Kong dollars in this year alone."

One billion Hong Kong dollars is already a lot for the Hong Kong film industry. Because it was in 1991, Hong Kong's annual movie box office revenue was only one billion Hong Kong dollars.

Last year, Xiangjiang produced more than 100 films worth one billion Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to making each film an extra 10 million Hong Kong dollars. This is really a great benefit for Xiangjiang Films.
