Save the Bachelor of Heaven
Chapter 2057 2059 [The Harley Quinn]
"Maggie, how is it? Is the filming of "X-Men" going well?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"Very well." Margot nodded, "Mr. Charles, I heard that you appointed me to play Mystique, right?"
"That's right, you're quite well informed." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.
In fact, after the announcement of the restart of the X-Men movie, Xiang Nan received requests from many people, hoping to star in "X-Men". Even if it's not the protagonist, but just one of the heroes, TAs are very happy.
The reason why they are so active is because the previous "X-Men" trilogy and "Wolverine" trilogy are all big-selling works, and their reputation is also very good. One or two of the actors who starred in these movies became popular.
And Mystique, as one of the few decent female heroes in "X-Men: First Class", is the easiest to shine. Naturally, there are more people to compete, and it is very fierce.
Like Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Roberts, Dakota Fanning, Miley Cyrus and other famous, acting, and status Hollywood new-generation actresses, they all offered olive branches to Xiang Nan.
But in the end, the role of Mystique fell into the hands of Margot Robbie, which surprised many people, and it was really unexpected.
Margot was actually even more surprised. She didn't expect that this big cake would actually fall into her mouth. It's true, planting flowers with intention will fail, but planting willows and willows will make shade unintentionally.
It was only later that she heard from the director that Xiang Nan hand-picked her to play the role of Mystique, which naturally made her even more puzzled. She doesn't know Xiang Nan well, so I don't know why Xiang Nan chose her.
"But why?" Margot asked puzzled.
"Why, do you think you are not worthy of this role?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile when he heard this.
"Of course not." Margot waved her hand quickly.
She is very suitable for the role of Mystique, and the director also praised her for her excellent performance. She also cooperates very well with other actors in the crew, and they get along very well.
"That's it. Since you are suitable for this role, why is it so strange that I choose you?" Xiang Nan laughed.
Margot blinked, feeling that Xiang Nan was entangled in her, "No, no, actually, what I want to ask is how did you notice me."
"I noticed that you are not very normal. A beautiful woman like you is always attractive." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I have seen you play "Pan American Journey", which is actually very good, but it is a pity. The ratings were not good."
Margot nodded suddenly, "In short, thank you, Mr. Charles."
"You're welcome, I'd like to support a newcomer with potential like you." Xiang Nan nodded, "I also hope that you will continue to work hard in the future and don't disappoint me."
"Okay." Margot Robbie nodded.

In November, Universal Pictures released the movie "Ghost Rider 2", which continues the story of Ghost Rider's struggle against evil.
After the release of the last "Ghost Rider", word of mouth was good. Universal Pictures has increased investment in this film, increasing the cost from 80 million US dollars to 120 million US dollars, an increase of one-half.
Therefore, the special effects of "Ghost Rider 2" are more realistic and the scenes are more grand. The story was also reviewed and reviewed by Xiang Nan himself. I dare not say how wonderful it is, at least it is a qualified commercial film.
Coupled with gorgeous special effects and grand scenes, as well as the foundation of popularity laid by the previous work, "Ghost Rider 2" ended up with a North American box office of 190 million U.S. dollars and a global box office of over 500 million U.S. dollars, which is a very good result.
The big sales of "Ghost Rider 2" also made Chace Crawford one of the first-line Hollywood movie stars. The heroine Lyndsey Fonseca also benefited a lot.
...
In December, the youth action film "The Hunger Games", starring Josh Hutcherson, Ashley Benson, Emma Roberts, Woody Harrelson, etc., was officially released.
Based on the best-selling teenage book of the past few years, the movie tells the story of a future world where North America was destroyed by war and people rebuilt the country.
And the new country has new laws. The twelfth district under its rule selects two teenagers, a boy and a girl, to participate in the Hunger Games every year. They not only have to fight with beasts, but also with their opponents. The winner will win a huge prize. ...
"The Hunger Games" is based on the ancient Greek story of Theseus and the Minotaur. To be honest, the story is a little weak. For adults, the basic logic of this type of movie is all wrong.
The science and technology presented in "The Hunger Games" is quite advanced, but except for the capital, the people in the other twelve districts live a life similar to that of the Middle Ages, and even obtain food by hunting. Even so, it is really unbelievable that the capital was captured by people.
It's like seeing a group of medieval troops able to capture a fortress armed with high-tech weapons.
However, although the plot is exaggerated and illogical, it is aimed at teenagers who are not deeply involved in the world. It doesn't need to be so meticulous in logic or so profound in the story, it just needs to make the audience feel ignited.
And "The Hunger Games" does this very well. From being unfavorable at the beginning, the male and female protagonists have gone through hardships and won the victory in the end, which has already made them feel very excited.
Coupled with the love triangle of one woman and two men, the simple and straightforward binary opposition of good and evil, and the various battle scenes are very attractive to them.
Therefore, this movie won the love of the audience, especially the young audience, which contributed more than 60% of the box office.
In the end, the North American box office was 240 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 690 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the cost of 80 million U.S. dollars, this movie is definitely a huge profit.
...
Seeing this scene, other Hollywood film companies almost went crazy.
They cast "Percy Jackson and the Great Fire Bandit", "Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters", "Eragon", "Clash of the Titans", "Wrath of the Gods", "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", "Golden Compass", etc., are all movies based on popular young people's books, but without exception, none of them are blockbusters, and the losses are quite high.
"Harry Potter", "Twilight", and "The Hunger Games" launched by Universal Pictures are all movies adapted from books for young people, but each of them is a box office hit.
Comparing the two is really depressing. God is unfair, it has reached such a blatant and insane level, it is really unacceptable.
The media also noticed this phenomenon and reported and interpreted it one after another.
"Universal Pictures Wins Teen Fantasy Movie~"
"Deciphering the way to win Universal Pictures' teenage fantasy films~"
"Teenage fantasy films often fail, why does Universal Pictures have a high chance of success?"
