Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Although Xiang Nanming repaired the plank road and kept secrets, his relationship with Monica was still warming up with the increase in the number of contacts. Finally coming together is a matter of course.

However, the heroine of "The Years of Love" was finally obtained by Winona Ryder. Monica Bellucci was naturally very disappointed.

"Don't be sad, although this movie is no longer available, I still have a movie prepared for you." Seeing this, Xiang Nan persuaded quickly, and then took out the script of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily".

Monica Bellucci was very excited when she saw it.

This "Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is more to her liking than "Years of Love". Xiang Nan really understands her so well that she actually tailored such a good script for her, which made her love Xiang Nan even deeper.

"Honey, you are so kind to me." She said gratefully.

"Are you my man, who is good to you and who is good to you?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I am going to ask Giuseppe Tornatore to direct this movie. We have collaborated on "Paradise Cinema" before."

"Really?! Okay!" Monica immediately agreed upon hearing this.

Giuseppe Tornadore is one of the most well-known directors in Italy today. His "Paradise Cinema" and "Family Journey" have had a great impact in Europe.

To be able to cooperate with such a great director is undoubtedly the best thing for her.

"That's how it is." Xiang Nan also nodded.

...

Xiang Nan then contacted Giuseppe Tornadore. He was also very satisfied after seeing the script of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", and a long-lost creative impulse surged in his heart.

Giuseppe is not a prolific director. He usually takes a few years to make a film, and spends more time thinking, writing, and looking for creative passion.

But it is a pity that good scripts and good stories are not available all the time. He collected many scripts and stories, but none of them gave him a strong creative impulse.

Therefore, in line with the principle of preferring lack to abuse, after he finished filming "Journey to Family" in 1990, he has not filmed again for three years. So now seeing this "Beautiful Legend of Sicily", he is very excited and feels an unprecedented creative passion.

Thus, preparations for "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" began.

He was also very satisfied with Monica Bellucci, the actor recommended by Xiang Nan to play Malena. With her looks and figure, she couldn't be more suitable to play the peerless beauty Marlena.

As for her having only played a few small roles before, her acting skills are not outstanding, which is not a problem in Giuseppe's opinion. Compared with using well-known actors, he prefers to use raw embryos, which allows him to play better.

In April, Universal released "A Perfect World," directed by Clint Eastwood.

This movie tells the story of a criminal who takes a child who lost his father as a hostage and escapes. In the process of escaping, the relationship between the two of them has gradually transformed from an antagonistic relationship between kidnappers and hostages to a relationship between father and son...

Although this movie is a crime movie in name, it is actually a father-son movie. The filming is very touching, so it has a very good reputation after its release.

Coupled with the joining of the big star Kevin Costner, the film has achieved a box office of 31 million US dollars in North America, and a global box office of 130 million US dollars, which is quite a good result.

...

In May, Universal Pictures released the inspirational film "Dream Chaser", which is adapted from real events.

The character prototype of this movie is the legendary Daniel Rudy of the University of Notre Dame football team.

His biggest dream is to play on the University of Notre Dame football team. But he was born with a small stature and weak physical strength, so he was not suitable for such a fierce confrontational sport as rugby.

Moreover, he is not considered smart, nor can he be admitted to a famous American university like the University of Notre Dame, so everyone persuades him to give up this dream.

But Daniel Rudy persevered. If he failed to get into the University of Notre Dame, he went to the next junior college, and then applied to the University of Notre Dame. If he can't be a member of the rugby team, he will be a logistics partner and a training partner...

In the end, his hard work won the recognition of the coach and all the players, and finally won 27 seconds of playing time. And was carried out of the field by the players after the game.

From then on, no one else can enjoy this honor. And Rudy's five younger brothers, under his inspiration, also went to college and graduated successfully.

The story of Daniel Rudy is very inspiring. It is very inspiring that a man without talent and mind, through unremitting efforts, not only achieved success, but also won people's respect.

Therefore, after the film was released, word of mouth was very good.

But it's a pity because there are no big-name stars to join. The most successful work starring Sean Austin was in "The Goonies" when he was twelve years old, and this movie has been in the past ten years.

So in the end, the box office of "Chasing the Dream" was not good. It only got more than 23 million US dollars. It was a big loss, and Xiang Nan felt sorry for it.

...

In the same month, "Speed ​​3" officially started shooting.

Xiang Nan and Courtney Cox also officially joined the group, ready to shoot.

This is the third time for the two to work together, and they have a tacit understanding with each other. The cooperation is natural and seamless, and the shooting process is very smooth.

Entering June, it's the summer time again, the golden time for American movies.

There are a lot more blockbuster movies released in this period.

Universal Pictures released the comedy "Crazy Nuns," starring Whoopi Goldberg.

It tells the story of the singer Dilauris hiding in the monastery in order to avoid the killer. According to her preferences, the abbot put her into the choir.

Dilauris is lively and active by nature, and doesn't like the boringness of the choir, so she boldly filled in new words for popular songs and adapted them into hymns for the nuns to sing. Unexpectedly, it became a hit and attracted countless hearts to the church , even the Pope heard the news...

Audiences acclaimed this comedy for its bold subject matter, innovative storytelling, and Whoopi Goldberg's comically gifted performance.

In the end, the movie grossed US$130 million in North America and US$230 million worldwide, which is quite impressive.

Whoopi Goldberg also proved her box-office appeal with this film, and has since become the most box-office appeal of an African-American actress.

Fortunately, her way of acting is different from that of Halle Berry, she is taking the route of literature and comedy. Halle Berry is on a commercial and sexual route, so they don't compete much with each other.

Otherwise, Halle Berry would feel threatened.
