Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Daredevil, also known as Daredevil, debuted in 1964, originally named Matt Murdoch. He was blinded by nuclear waste since he was a child, but his other senses are different from ordinary people.

Later, under the guidance of Gunsou, he learned a good martial arts, and by virtue of his intelligence, he successfully obtained a lawyer's license. From then on, a blind lawyer who spoke impassionedly in court during the day to uphold justice for the weak turned into a Daredevil at night, fighting for justice and fighting crime.

The reason why Xiang Nan used Daredevil to start the journey of Marvel film and television is mainly because Daredevil does not have any superpowers, so he does not need to use a lot of special effects, so the production is relatively easy. After all, he didn't want to take too many risks for the first work to test the waters.

While filming "Mission: Impossible 2", Xiang Nan was conceiving the script of "Daredevil".

Time ticked by, and in May, Universal Pictures released Tales of Sicily, starring Monica Bellucci.

The film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival last year. Monica Bellucci also became a hit with this film and enjoyed a high reputation in the international film circle. Now the film is finally released in the United States.

It's a pity that because it's an Italian-language movie, and it's a restricted-rated movie, it's only shown in limited theaters, so the box office didn't perform very well. In the end, it only grossed more than $3 million in the United States.

However, the investment in the film itself is not large. When it was released in other countries before, it has already earned tens of millions of dollars at the box office. So overall, Xiang Nan didn't lose money.

Besides, his purpose of making this movie was for Monica Bellucci.

This one woman alone is worth everything.

In June, the summer vacation has arrived.

Universal's first release was the comedy "Professor Fat," starring Eddie Murphy.

Although Eddie Murphy has been a little bit out of date in recent years, he is still a hero, and he is still the most outstanding African-American star in Hollywood, and has the strongest box office appeal among African-Americans.

Therefore, after the release of "Professor Fat", there are still a group of diehard fans.

The so-called diehard fans are the group of people who will support his movie no matter how bad it is.

And when they went to the theater, they were surprised to find that the movie was much better than they had imagined.

As a result, the word-of-mouth of "The Fatty Professor" rose immediately. With a good reputation, coupled with Eddie Murphy's high popularity, "The Fatty Professor" is naturally a big hit at the box office.

In the end, the box office in North America was 128 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was as high as 270 million U.S. dollars. Eddie Murphy successfully turned salted fish over with this film.

And this also makes more outdated stars look forward to cooperating with Universal Pictures. Because there have been successful cases of Sylvester Stallone turning salty fish before, and now coupled with the demonstration effect of Eddie Murphy, those outdated stars are naturally willing to cooperate with Universal Pictures.

Xiang Nan also welcomed this.

Past stars are also stars, and if they perform well, they are also valuable to be tapped.

The heroine played by Jennifer Aniston, although she doesn't play much time, the role is not too important. But after all, she is still a legitimate heroine, so the big sale of this film also made a good start for her to enter the film industry.

It is worth mentioning that in the movie, the most eye-catching performance is the big villain played by John Malkovich. He is insidious, cunning, ruthless, and full of leadership. Demonstrated superhuman talent.

In addition, the serial killer Garland Green played by Steve Buscemi, although the total playing time is less than the heroine played by Jennifer Aniston.

But as the saying goes, there are no small roles, only small actors. Through his wonderful performance, this serial killer still left an extremely deep impression on the audience.

Even because he escaped the police's pursuit in the end, the audience also speculated whether Xiang Nan deliberately left a tail for the future filming of "Prison in the Sky 2".

In August, Universal released "Aeroplane 2," starring Jim Carrey and Halle Berry.

Therefore, even if the storyline of the comedies he starred in is a little weaker, his performance can make up for the shortcomings. The story of "Detective Airplane 2" is good, coupled with his wonderful performance, it is enough to make the audience laugh out loud.

Therefore, "Aeroplane 2" has won critical acclaim, and its box office performance is even more eye-catching. In the end, the North American box office of this film was 108 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was as high as 240 million U.S. dollars. It can be said to be a very successful work.
