Save the Bachelor of Heaven

At the beginning of the new year, Xiang Nan also announced the production plan of Universal Pictures for the new year.

There are four projects in total, one is "Jurassic Park", the second is "Forrest Gump", the third is "The Shawshank Redemption", and the fourth is "True Lies".

"Jurassic Park" is an immortal classic directed by Spielberg, and it is also the pinnacle of Hollywood digital special effects technology. Once the film was released, it captured the hearts of fans all over the world.

Since then, Hollywood special effects blockbusters have become popular. All other film industries around the world have been beaten to the ground by it. European films, Dongying films, Xiangjiang films... none of them survived.

"Forrest Gump" is another masterpiece of Tom Hanks. It tells about the life experience of Forrest Gump, who is mentally retarded but full of athletic talent, from childhood to adulthood...

From racial discrimination in the 1950s to the civil rights movement in the 1960s, from the South Vietnam War in the 1970s to technological advancement in the 1980s...

Forrest Gump has been experiencing and participating, and has achieved career success at different stages.

Because he represents the traditional and mainstream ideology of the United States, his success is also the embodiment of the American dream.

"The Shawshank Redemption" was not a popular movie when it was released. Because of this name, many people misunderstand that it is a comprehensive education movie. Coupled with the unfavorable publicity and marketing, it led to a dismal box office.

But gold always shines. After its video was released, it first won recognition in a small number of fan circles. Afterwards, under their Amway, the film's fame grew and the studio got its due reward.

"True Lies" is another masterpiece of James Cameron, originally starring Schwarzenegger, the plot is exciting, exciting, and it is one of the highest quality commercial blockbusters.

Compared with the commercial blockbusters of the Marvel Universe, the only thing that wins is the special effects.

...

Xiang Nan then made arrangements.

The director of "Jurassic Park" is still Spielberg. In terms of actors, he recommends Jennifer Connelly and Sophie Marceau. After all, she is his woman, so she should be treated preferentially.

"Forrest Gump", the actor is of course Tom Hanks. As for the heroine, Xiang Nan recommends Michelle Pfeiffer.

"The Shawshank Redemption", the leading actor, Xiang Nan recommended Nicolas Cage to play the role. He believes that with Cage's acting skills, there is absolutely no problem playing the leading role.

As for "True Lies", Xiang Nan still recommends James Cameron to direct. In terms of actors, he also tried not to interfere with James.

Because James Cameron is a well-known studio tyrant, it is not easy to make a deal with him, so if you want to use him, you can only listen to him.

Xiang Nan himself has also started preparing for a new film - "Speed ​​3".

The movie is about a train loaded with a highly toxic compound that is hijacked by terrorists and sped along at breakneck speed.

If it cannot be stopped in time, this train will rush into the city, causing more than 100,000 casualties. And the male lead and the female lead just happened to take this train and went back to their hometown to visit relatives, so they had to get involved again...

"Speed ​​3" was inspired by the 2010 movie "Speed" starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine.

This movie is adapted from a true story, and it also tells the thrilling story of a train loaded with dangerous chemicals running along the railway line after losing control, and may derail and crash at any time, causing tens of thousands of deaths and injuries.

...

After Spielberg received the invitation from Shannand, he carefully reviewed the script of "Jurassic Park".

He is still very interested in this script.

He is an imaginative director who likes to shoot stories full of fantastic fantasy. Such as "ET", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Captain Hook" and so on.

Therefore, the script of "Jurassic Park" is very suitable for him.

However, he is now preparing to direct "Schindler's List", which means more to him. After all, he is a Hebrew, and "Schindler's List" captures the tragic experience of his ancestors.

Therefore, he really didn't have the energy to take care of the big production of "Jurassic Park".

However, he did not completely reject Xiang Nan's kindness. He recommended Chris Columbus to be the director of the film to Xiang Nan, and he also recommended George Lucas Industrial Light and Magic special effects company to Xiang Nan.

Seeing that he really didn't have the energy to shoot, Xiang Nan didn't force him. To be honest, Spielberg is a very powerful director, but he is not indispensable.

He then hired Chris Columbus to direct Jurassic Park. In fact, it is not the first time he has cooperated with Chris Columbus.

The previous "Home Alone" series was produced by him, and the reputation and box office are quite good, not worse than Spielberg. It is worth mentioning that the first three films in the "Harry Potter" series were also shot by him.

However, Xiang Nan did not hand over the special effects of "Jurassic Park" to Industrial Light and Magic, but to James Cameron.

On the one hand, it is because Industrial Light \u0026 Magic charges more; on the other hand, it is because he has further cooperation with James Cameron. True Lies this year, Titanic two years later, and so on.

On the contrary, he has almost no possibility of cooperation with George Lucas. Unless he buys the IP of "Star Wars" someday.

...

James Cameron is still very satisfied with the script of "True Lies".

The story is very exciting, with ups and downs and climaxes, it is a very cool commercial blockbuster.

Especially the story where the heroine is deceived by a liar because of her boring life, and after being discovered by the hero, she becomes jealous and intentionally avenges her personal revenge, which is even more innovative in James' view.

Because in the past, spy films rarely involved families. Those secret agents are romantic and suave, and they have frequent encounters with prodigal sons in love.

The most classic role is 007, he changes girlfriends in almost every film, and even several in one film. No matter how beautiful, elegant, smart, and versatile a woman is, she can't keep his heart.

Therefore, 007 never has to worry about how to deal with the conflict between family and work after getting married and having children. For example, if you travel frequently on business, will you be suspected by your wife; if you have made so many enemies, will your family be retaliated against, and so on.

And "True Lies" did not evade this problem, but perfectly integrated the secret agent elements with the family elements. In James Cameron's view, it was really a rare movie, so he was very interested in shooting it.

In addition, when he collaborated with "Terminator 2" last time, Xiang Nan never interfered with his work, and he was responsive to his financial requirements, and never complained that he spent too much money.

Therefore, he is also willing to cooperate with a generous boss like Xiang Nan again.
