Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 1960 1962 [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon]

Entering 1999, in January, the movie released by Universal Pictures was "American Beauty".

The film was written by Xiang Nan, directed by Li An, and starred Al Pacino and Jessica Alba.

Critics gave it top marks.

"It is the "Death of a Salesman" in the 1990s." The Washington Post commented.

"A black comedy of the American middle class." The Los Angeles Times commented.

"Its ruthless slap smashed the American dream." "Hollywood Entertainment Weekly" commented.

The audience also likes this movie very much, which is reflected in the box office. This movie has won a box office of 130 million US dollars in North America alone, and the global box office is as high as 356 million US dollars. .

And the total cost of this film is only 25 million US dollars, so it can be said that it is not easy to get such an astonishing box office result.

This movie also pushed Li An to the position of Hollywood's first-line director. It is no exaggeration to say that with such a blockbuster work, he can eat it for at least half his life.

Just like Sergio Leone, even if "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​failed miserably at the box office, no one in Hollywood asked him to make a movie. But with the "Dartsman Trilogy", after he returned to Europe, he still became the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival.

...

January is still awards season.

Unsurprisingly, "Titanic" became the biggest winner of the Golden Globe Awards, winning four awards including Best Director, Best Film, Best Soundtrack, and Best Original Song.

However, Xiang Nan did not participate in this year's Golden Globe Awards. He still chose to bring Cong Shan and Ning Jing back to the mainland to accompany his parents.

Parents have grown old in recent years and their health is not very good. Although Xiang Nan has helped them recuperate, but after all, everyone has their own fate. All he can do is spend more time with them.

After staying in the mainland for more than half a month and spending the Lantern Festival with their parents, Xiang Nancai, Cong Shan and Ning Jing returned to the United States.

After returning to the United States, Xiang Nan started preparations for a new project.

New projects include The Sixth Sense, Jurassic Park 3, Clash, The Mummy, Iron Fist, Scream 2 and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

"The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" is a spooky thriller starring Bruce Willis and Hayley Oldmond. Amazing discovery...

This film once won a box office of 630 million US dollars worldwide, not because of how scary it is, but because of how touching it is.

"Jurassic Park 2" has a global box office of more than 500 million U.S. dollars. It would be a waste if such an IP is not utilized. Therefore, "Jurassic Park 3" is naturally on the agenda.

The theme of the story of "Clash of Heaven and Earth" is the same as that of "Peerless Catastrophe", which tells the story of a comet hitting the earth, so the earth sent astronauts to land on the comet and prepare to blow it into pieces with a nuclear bomb.

But the operation failed. Although the comet exploded, it only exploded in half, and it would still bring huge disasters to the earth. In a critical moment, the earth launched the Ark project...

"The Mummy" is a remake of the film of the same name filmed by Universal Pictures in 1932.

With the advancement of computer special effects in recent years, Hollywood science fiction films, fantasy films and other films that test audiovisual effects have become popular.

Such as "Peerless Heist", "The Matrix", "Doctor Dolittle", "Godzilla", "Star Wars 4: The Phantom Menace", "X-Men" and so on.

Universal Pictures started out making horror films in the early years, and it has many monster IPs under its umbrella. Such as vampires, mummies, werewolves, Frankenstein, Notre Dame, invisible man and so on.

Now Xiang Nan is going to remake them one by one. With the help of advanced special effects technology and up-to-date concepts, it is believed that these old IPs will be revived.

Iron Fist is also a superhero under Marvel. His real name is Danny Rand, and he comes from a wealthy family. One day when he was climbing a mountain with his father, he unfortunately encountered an avalanche. His family members were killed, but he himself was rescued by Kunlun Laidi archers.

Afterwards, Danny stayed in Kunlun to practice martial arts, and passed the assessment, gaining the power of Iron Fist. After returning to the United States, he began to act chivalrously.

Iron Fist is also a member of the Defenders Alliance. He is proficient in dozens of martial arts mysteries such as Tai Chi, Judo, Karate, and Taekwondo. He is the most outstanding hand-to-hand combat master in the Marvel Universe.

Xiang Nan plans to adapt it into a movie, together with heroes such as Nighthawk and Hellcat, they will form the Defenders universe together. When the time comes, the story of forming a group to fight monsters will be loved.

"Scream" grossed over $160 million worldwide on a cost of just $15 million. For such a money-making movie, it's impossible not to make a sequel. That would be too wasteful.

As for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there is no need to say more. This is the first Chinese-language film to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and there is no doubt that it is a classic.

And since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", mainland movies have also begun the era of blockbusters.

"Heroes", "The Promise", "House of Flying Daggers", "Night Banquet", "Curse of the Golden Flower"... Regardless of word of mouth, the box office has gone up anyway, and this has driven the upward development of mainland films.

Overall a good thing!

...

"The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", Xiang Nan plans to return to the original cast.

He has worked with Bruce Willis many times, and they are very familiar friends and have a close relationship.

Moreover, Bruce Willis became popular because he starred in "RoboCop", so he will charge a friendly price for Xiang Nan's scenes, which will not be too high.

So it was a good deal to invite him to film.

"Jurassic Park 3", Xiang Nan is going to invite Wen Bixia and Chow Yun-fat to star. Anyway, the real protagonist of this movie is the dinosaur, and other characters are just its foil, please don't dislike it.

In "Clash of Heaven and Earth", Xiang Nan plans to invite Mel Gibson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jennifer Connelly, etc. to star. This lineup is considered very good.

The Mummy, the original starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. Xiang Nan was considered for the roles of Winona Ryder and Hugh Jackman.

He believes that with the acting skills of the two of them, they will definitely be qualified for this film.

Matt Damon considered for "Steel Fist" Xiangnan. Matt Damon is not only outstanding in acting, but also a very talented person.

Since he can play the super agent Jason Bourne well, it shouldn't be a problem to play Iron Fist.

As for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Xiang Nan was ready to do it himself.

Except for acting skills, he may not be as good as Chow Yun-fat, and he is guaranteed to beat him in other aspects.

And Xiang Nan really lived in ancient times, and was a high-ranking hermit in ancient times. So filming costume dramas is really no stranger to him.

From this point of view, it is more suitable for him to act than Chow Yun-fat.
