Save the Bachelor of Heaven

The other is Martin Scorsese's new work "Casino".

Given that they enjoyed working together on "Goodfellas" before, Martin Scorsese is naturally willing to work with Xiang Nan again.

This "Casino" tells about a past event in Las Vegas in the 1970s.

Similar to the plot of "Goodfellas", it is nothing more than a story of good brothers who once shared weal and woe, parted ways because of interests, and turned against each other.

Martin Scorsese has long been familiar with making such movies.

Xiang Nan agreed to invest in him and recommended him to use Sophie Marceau as the heroine.

...

After the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Xiang Nan also started a new filming plan.

In the new year, Universal Pictures will make big moves. His films include "A Little Devil", "The Seven Deadly Sins", "12 Monkeys", "The Usual Suspects", "Aeroplane 2" and so on.

In fact, he still has a lot of scripts in his hand, such as "Ghost in Masquerade", "Interview with the Vampire", "Stargate", "Dumb and Dumber", "Bridges of Madison County", "Heart", "Apollo Ten No. 3", "Ghost Horse Elf" and so on.

These movies are all well-received and well-received masterpieces, but Xiang Nan didn't plan to make them all in one go. Because the market's ability to bear is limited, the result of the release of good films together is that some good films are reduced to cannon fodder.

It seems that 1994 was a year with frequent releases of excellent films, with countless excellent films, such as "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Evil and Poison", "To Live", "Eating and Drinking Men and Women" , "The Lion King", "This Killer Is Not So Cold" and so on.

As a result, a large number of good movies have also been buried, and their value has not been noticed by the public. So Xiang Nan plans to release these films slowly.

...

"Seven Deadly Sins", Xiang Nan is preparing to arrange Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman. As for the villain, he does not plan to use Kevin Spacey, but plans to use Alan Rickman, that is, Sirius in the "Harry Potter" series. Xiang Nan has worked with him in "Die Hard" before, and he is still very optimistic about his acting skills.

"Twelve Monkeys" still stars Bruce Willis, the heroine is Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the supporting actor is changed from Brad Pitt to Leonardo. Xiao Lizi is still on the rise, it is good for him to play more roles of this kind.

As the protagonist of "The Usual Suspects", Xiang Nan still does not plan to use Kevin Spacey, he plans to use Nicolas Cage, he believes that Cage's acting skills will definitely help him complete this role.

"Plane Detective 2", the starring role is naturally Jim Carrey, but the heroine is no longer Courtney Cox. Xiang Nan is going to use Halle Berry. Because the film is set in Africa, it is normal to have an African-American heroine.

As for Xiang Nan himself, he is preparing to start filming "Prison in the Sky".

"Prison in the Sky" tells the story of a male protagonist who accidentally killed a gangster in order to protect his wife and was imprisoned. After a long wait of several years, he was finally released on parole for good behavior and was ready to go home on a prisoner plane.

Unexpectedly, the plane was hijacked by a group of serious criminals and was about to flee abroad. At a critical juncture, the male protagonist is alone, and can only fight wits and courage with them...

It was originally an action blockbuster starring Nicolas Cage. After its release in 1996, it caused a sensation and won a global box office of 230 million US dollars. It can be said to be quite a blockbuster.

Xiang Nan immediately started to prepare.

...

Meanwhile, in January, Universal Pictures released "Into the Wild," starring Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt and Winona Ryder, among others.

Once the film was released, it immediately caused a strong sensation.

Because it tells the story of the Midwest of the United States, and the protagonist played by Brad Pitt is free-spirited, unrestrained, wild, and full of charm, which is very appealing to white American audiences.

Therefore, its box office is very good, with a box office of 66 million US dollars in North America and a global box office of 120 million US dollars. Compared with the investment of 30 million US dollars, it can be said to be a great success.

The success of this movie also made Crazy Brad Pitt an idol in the hearts of countless teenagers, thus steadily becoming one of the first-line superstars, and having the strength to single-handedly carry the box office is really worthy of congratulations.

In February, Sexual Divorce, starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bruce Willis and Sean Connery, launched.

The film is about a couple facing financial crisis who are forced to strike a deal with a rich man to spend a night with his wife in exchange for a million dollar reward.

As a result, the rich man fell in love with the heroine this night, and kept pursuing her. And the husband and wife also have a estrangement because of this transaction...

This is a movie with a bold theme, so after it was released, it caused a lot of controversy.

Many couples or lovers start to discuss, when they are faced with the same choice, what choice will they make? Do you choose true love first, or long live money?

The critics criticized this movie, thinking that it promotes the concept of money supremacy, which is really against morality and tradition, and thinks that this movie is completely a bad movie. It should be awarded.

Sometimes being controversial isn't a bad thing.

In fact, because of the controversy, the popularity of this movie has gradually increased, and with it, the box office data has been rising steadily.

In the end, "Pleasure Deal" won a box office of 106 million US dollars in North America and 260 million US dollars in the world, which can be said to be a great success.

And Catherine Zeta-Jones also became popular with her breakthrough performance in this film, becoming one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood today.

...

In March, it's time for the Oscars again.

Xiang Nan has basically no expectations for this year's Oscars.

After all, their opponent is "Schindler's List". This is a work of celebrity film history. Compared with this work, other works seem too naive.

So he wasn't prepared to win the prize. But even so, he had to go to join in.

On the red carpet this time, Xiang Nan walked with Jennifer Aniston. Because he is going to invite Jennifer Aniston as the heroine of the new film.

This is naturally good news for Jennifer. Because although she made her debut in the late 1980s, she had very few opportunities to appear in movies.

Especially this time is to cooperate with Xiang Nan. For her, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Of course, she must grasp it well.

"Charles, thank you for inviting me." She said gratefully.

"You're welcome, I invited you because you are good enough." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
