Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Entering April, "Rage Rescue" was officially launched in Mexico City.

After many rounds of interviews, January Jones was eventually scooped up by Peter Jackson.

In the end, Peter Jackson chose Naomi Watts. Because he felt that Naomi's smile was sweeter, and there was a feeling of pity in her eyes, which could arouse men's desire for protection.

In contrast, January's eyes are relatively cold, and when he is not smiling, his expression is even a little ugly, as if he is owed 800 yuan.

Coupled with the fact that Naomi Watts has better acting skills, Peter Jackson finally chose her after all considerations.

This made Naomi Watts very happy. She knows that "King Kong" is a very good project, with an investment of nearly 200 million US dollars, and it is one of the films with the largest investment in the United States in the past two years.

The director is Peter Jackson, who just became famous internationally with the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy; and the IP "King Kong" is also a well-known monster IP in film history...so the entire project configuration is top-notch.

It is really a great thing for her to be able to star in such a movie.

Not to mention her, even big stars such as Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Connelly, Jennifer Aniston, Kristen Dunst and Scarlett Johansson want to participate in this movie .

Therefore, she is really very happy to be able to compete for the position of the heroine.

...

Some people are happy and some are sad. January Jones is dissatisfied right now.

She was sure that she was going to receive this big cake, but she didn't expect that she had already eaten it in her mouth, but she was snatched away by someone. She was really depressed.

For this reason, she specially called Xiang Nan to complain, "What's the matter, Charles, you clearly agreed to let me act, why is it replaced by Naomi Watts now, are you kidding me?"

"I am indeed more optimistic about you, but Peter has his own considerations. Although I am an investor, I can't interfere too much with his work." Xiang Nan explained, "You don't have to be too angry, it's just a lost project. It's no big deal. I'll just go back and resupply you."

"Will you keep your word, won't you play tricks on me again?" January asked immediately after hearing this.

"I have never fooled you, and I will not fool you." Xiang Nan said, "I will open a "Tekken 2" in the second half of the year, and then you will play the role of the midnight nurse, Christine Palmer ,how?"

"What kind of character is this?" January asked suspiciously.

Although she knows that the movies adapted from Chaoying comics have been very popular in the past two years, she is not interested in Chaoying comics.

"This is a life-saving nurse who specializes in medical care for superheroes. She's going to be in X-Men, Daredevil, The Defenders, and a future Blade, anyway. It’s a very high-octane and very important role.”

Hearing what Xiang Nan said, January nodded, so she was relieved.

"You should read more related comics these days and get to know more about the characters." Xiang Nan reminded again, "I've given you the opportunity, if you still can't grasp it, it will bother me a lot."

"Okay." January nodded.

...

In May, Xiang Nan started the "Tekken 2" project.

The reason why it opened so late is mainly that the script is not easy to write.

Because "Tekken 2" should not only echo the previous work, but also echo "Daredevil 2" and "Luke Cage 2", and also start the next "Defenders 2". At the same time, it is necessary to lay the groundwork for the "X-Men" series and "Avengers", in short, it is very troublesome.

If it wasn't for Xiang Nan being smart enough to analyze it in detail, another screenwriter would be blinded.

This time, January was finally not kicked off. But her role is not important, she can only be regarded as the third female.

Because Iron Fist's girlfriend, Mist Knight, is the heroine, and she is also an African-American superhero.

The Misty Knight itself has no superpowers, but it has a mechanical bionic arm from Stark Industries, so it has superhuman strength in grasping and grappling.

Through the Mist Knight, Iron Man just happened to be drawn out. In order to promote the sales of comics, Marvel comics often let superheroes interact and make guest appearances with each other, thus forming a huge Marvel comic universe.

However, it is still difficult to change the Marvel Comics Universe to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

...

In June, Universal Pictures released "The Mummy 2," a magical action flick starring Hugh Jackman and Winona Ryder.

"The Mummy 2" tells the story of the evil priest Immorton trying to kill the Scorpion Emperor, seize control of the hell army in his hands and rule the world. At the critical moment, the hero and heroine came out to save the world again.

Although the story has some routines, but because of the success of "The Mummy", fans around the world are still very supportive. In the end, the North American box office was 270 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was nearly 600 million U.S. dollars, which was even better than the first box office.

Therefore, "The Mummy 3" was naturally arranged. However, this "Mummy 3" is absolutely impossible to change Qin Shihuang again.

Xiang Nan plans to find materials from Egyptian mythology, telling the story of Imogen being dragged into hell, receiving the pardon of Horus, the God of Vengeance, and returning to the world to take revenge.

This guy died three times, and every time he died so badly, he must have accumulated a lot of anger, waiting to be released.

...

In July, Universal Pictures released the film "The Matrix 3" starring Xiang Nan and Angelina Jolie, which is also the last film in the series.

In the future, Xiang Nan will not continue his work and make another "The Matrix 4".

The first two films of "The Matrix" were very popular, and their reputation was also very good, winning the love of countless movie fans. Therefore, the release of "The Matrix 3" can be said to be highly anticipated.

The night before the screening, there was already a long queue at the entrance of the cinema.

After the release, the quality of this movie did not disappoint fans.

It has bigger scenes, cooler pictures, more intense fighting, and perfectly solves all the mysteries in the first and second parts.

Therefore, the box office of "The Matrix 3" exploded. In the end, the North American box office box office was 350 million U.S. dollars, the global box office was nearly 500 million U.S. dollars, and the total box office was 840 million U.S. dollars. It is a perfect end to the trilogy of the series.

The "Matrix" trilogy, alone, has brought billions of dollars in profits to Universal Pictures. Adding in the profits from the development of video tapes, VCDs, DVDs, and peripheral products, the film has created a value of more than two billion US dollars.

In the future, with the release of "The Matrix 3", the film's revenue will continue to grow. It is estimated that in the end, it may reach more than five billion US dollars, becoming another cornucopia for Universal Pictures.

This also further stimulated the rise of Universal Pictures' stock price.
