Save the Bachelor of Heaven

In August, Universal released Now Now You See Me.

Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Blue Goose, Mark Ruffalo, Melanie Laurent, Morgan Freeman and many others.

It tells the story of a group of high-intelligence robbers who use the most cutting-edge technology and use the gorgeous stage as a cover to complete the story of stealing the sky and stealing the sun in full view.

This kind of high-IQ crime movie pays attention to putting the suspense at the end before solving it.

For example, the classic blockbuster "Ocean's Eleven" did not reveal at the end how the male protagonists took the money from the casino; "The Usual Suspects" revealed who the real murderer was at the end; The last two crimes...

And as long as it can arouse the audience's curiosity and solve the suspense at the end, and it is unexpected and reasonable, then the movie will be considered a success.

Now Now You See Me does exactly that. It made a head start and caught people's attention right from the start. And as the story continues, the suspense has been maintained very well.

When the truth was finally revealed, the audience felt unreasonable and expected. Therefore, "Now Now You See Me" has gained a good reputation and box office.

In the end, the North American box office was 150 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 360 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the investment of 75 million U.S. dollars, this movie is definitely a big hit.

With this movie, Lan Yan also turned Xianyu from a previously looked down upon actress to a well-known Hollywood movie star. While the popularity has increased greatly, the image has also been reversed.

According to her own statement, film companies in Mainland China and Hong Kong have already sent her a film contract, and the film salary and role are very considerable.

In September, "Life of Pi" was released.

It tells the story that the boy Pi encountered a shipwreck and all his family members died. He and a Bengal tiger drifted on the rescue boat for more than 200 days. The man and the tiger established a strange relationship, and finally overcome the difficulties together and gained rebirth. s story.

This is an indescribable movie, full of metaphors and suspense. However, although the story is full of suspicion, the picture is so beautiful that it is still very friendly to the audience. Unlike some brain-burning movies, the plot twists and turns are bizarre, and the pictures are shot in a mess, which makes people dizzy.

Therefore, on the one hand, Li An uses brain-burning stories to attract those audiences who love to use their brains;

That's why this movie is very popular. In the end, at a cost of 120 million US dollars, it won an astonishing box office of 600 million US dollars.

This is Li An's highest-grossing film since he was a filmmaker, and it also makes him one of the top Hollywood directors.

In October, Xiang Nan finished filming "Fast and Furious 6", and then organized a film crew to produce the teaching video of "Forty-Eight Forms of Daoyin Technique", which was released in the form of DVD.

It turned out that when he participated in Jimmy Fallon's show in July, the performance of channeling caused a lot of repercussions. It's just that he didn't explain in detail, and he didn't talk about the methods of meditation and breathing, so many people don't know how to practice, or feel that the effect is not obvious after practicing.

Therefore, a fitness company in the United States came to Xiang Nan to cooperate with them and release fitness DVDs together.

More than ten years ago, Xiang Nan released the video tapes of "Tai Chi" and "Ba Duan Jin", which sold tens of millions of copies worldwide, and many people still follow him to learn.

Therefore, if Xiang Nan releases another fitness video now, it will definitely be very popular.

Xiang Nan thought that since it was producing a fitness video, instead of cooperating with others, it would be better to produce it by himself. Anyway, he is capable, has a production team, and has distribution channels, so why let others share it.

Therefore, he released the DVD of "Daoyin Technique", which includes the action decomposition of Daoyin Technique, breathing and meditation methods, etc., and named it "Charles' Healthy Kung Fu 2".

After the release of this set of video discs, as expected, it was naturally very popular. The sales volume exceeded 10 million copies in the first week, which was higher than the sales volume of the previous version of the video tape.

However, this set of Daoyin technique can also have the effect of strengthening the body, purifying the body and mind, and prolonging life. It is impossible to smash stones with one palm like Xiang Nan.

Compared with Xiang Nan's advanced qigong practice, Daoyin technique is not even a beginner's level. In a simple comparison, Daoyin is equivalent to mathematical addition and subtraction, and Xiang Nan's qigong is at least at the calculus level.

In October, the movie released by Universal Pictures is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 .

This movie continues to tell the story of four cute ninja turtles fighting crimes and protecting citizens, and the enemy they face this time is the famous big boss Lange in the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" animation.

Lange was originally the supreme ruler of the different-dimensional world, but was driven out of the different-dimensional space and came to the earth. In order to regain his own territory, Lange decided to cooperate with Schrader to plunder the earth's resources in order to build more war machines to launch a counterattack to the different-dimensional space.

At the critical moment, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arrived, defeated Lange and Schrader, and protected the safety of the earth.

The original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" tells the same story, but the story is too old-fashioned and childish. Basically, after reading the beginning, you have already foreseen the end.

In addition, the appearance of the four ninja turtles is really ugly, and they are known as the ugliest superheroes in history. Even if the audience wants to ignore the plot, it is difficult to catch the eye just by looking at the picture, and naturally it will fail at the box office.

Therefore, Xiang Nan learned from the failure of the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2". Not only is the story re-arranged wonderful and exciting, but also the four ninja turtles are designed to be as beautiful and cute as possible, just like the first one.

After such a transformation, the quality of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" is completely different from the original version, and it is also very popular with the audience. In the end, the North American box office was 150 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 450 million U.S. dollars.

Although compared with the previous work, the box office has dropped slightly. But compared to the investment of 120 million US dollars, it is already very good.

After all, in Hollywood, there are not many sequels that are more popular than the previous ones.

In October, Xiang Nan made an appointment with Margot Robbie.

Margot Robbie was born in Queensland, Australia in 1990. She made her debut in 2008 and starred in her first movie. In one year, he made his mark in Hollywood with the American drama "Pan American Journey".

It's a pity that although the TV series has a good reputation, its ratings are not as good as expected. In the end, it was cut by ABC after only fourteen episodes were aired. Even so, Margot Robbie has a certain reputation in the American entertainment circle.

Xiang Nan knew that her acting skills, appearance, and figure were all top-notch, so she was specially appointed to play the role of Mystique in "X-Men: First Class".

The original version starred Jennifer Lawrence, but Xiang Nan just didn't like her.
