Chapter 1896 1898 [400 Years of Surprise]

On the second day after the Golden Globe Awards, Xiang Nan met Winona Ryder for coffee as scheduled, and handed her the script he had prepared.

"It was indeed my fault for breaking the appointment before." Xiang Nan apologized, "I wrote this script, and I think you are very suitable. Please read it first. If it is suitable, I will atone for my sin. If it is not suitable, I'll get another script."

Winona nodded, took Xiang Nan's script and read it, and saw "400 Years of Surprise" written on the cover. After reading it, she realized that it was actually a story about the vampire Dracula.

However, Xiang Nan obviously rewrote the story, made the vampire Dracula the leading actor, and narrated the story from his perspective, portraying him as extraordinarily infatuated, romantic and painful.

Therefore, after reading the script, Winona was so moved by him that she shed tears.As for Van Helsing and the original hero Jonathan, under such an interpretation, they become as hateful as villains.

"Charles, this is really a good script." Winona said very satisfied.

She felt that the script was really tailor-made for her.Not only is the story full of ups and downs, but also the heroine is infatuated, brave, pure, romantic, and the character design is very brilliant.

She absolutely loves the script.

"Just as long as you like it." Xiang Nan smiled, pretending to be relieved, "I was worried that you wouldn't like it."

"How come, you are the best screenwriter at the Oscar." Winona laughed.

Woody Allen was the last person to win the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay twice, and Xiang Nan is the second person to achieve this achievement.

Xiang Nan nodded, "Since you have no problem, let's prepare for the shooting."

……

Afterwards, Xiang Nan successively launched several projects, such as "Home Alone 2", "Scent of a Woman", "Bodyguard" and so on.

"Home Alone 2" is the sequel to "Home Alone [-]". It tells the story of Kevin's family rushing to Florida for vacation, but he was lost by his family at the airport. He ran to New York alone, where he met the stupid thief who escaped from prison. group of people.

In order to protect the dollhouse, Kevin once again fought wits and courage with two stupid thieves...

The classic level of "Home Alone 2" is no worse than the previous one, and Macaulay Culkin's performance is still excellent, and the performance is very spiritual, making the audience laugh.

It's a pity that his parents are not decent. The year before last, after "Home Alone" became popular and Macaulay became the most popular child star in Hollywood, the two of them started a divorce lawsuit to fight for Macaulay's custody.

The lawsuit lasted for more than a year, and in order to make more money, they also charged Macaulay an astonishingly high price.Macaulay's salary alone is as high as 500 million US dollars, which can be regarded as the top salary in Hollywood.

And even if they received sky-high salaries, they would often make troubles and force the production company to agree to more conditions.For example, during filming, they asked for food, wine, private doctors, private nurses, and even asked the producer to allow Macaulay's younger brother and sister to appear in the film...

It made several production companies feel ashamed, and they even have opinions on them and Macaulay Culkin.So Macaulay Culkin's reputation has declined considerably over the past year.

……

"Scent of a Woman" is another classic of Al Pacino. Although it seems to be a romance film from the name, it is actually a story about the friendship between men.

The film helped Al Pacino win the Oscar for Best Actor, and also earned the studio $3000 million at the box office.

It can be said that it was well received and well received.

"Bodyguard" is a movie starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston.

At that time, Kevin Costner became a popular fried chicken in Hollywood because of the extraordinary success of "Dances with Wolves" directed and acted by himself.

Because of this, the movie "Bodyguard" has a very high box office, with a global box office of more than [-] million US dollars, which is second only to "The Lion King".

However, at the very beginning, the script of "Bodyguard", like "Dances with Wolves", was not taken seriously, and was rejected 67 times in succession.

Fortunately, Xiang Nan paid [-] US dollars to buy the script.

……

In addition, Xiang Nan himself also prepared the "Mission: Impossible" project.

"Mission: Impossible" was originally Tom Cruise's masterpiece, but Xiang Nan didn't plan to let him play it.After all, for such a good project, it is better to make yourself cheaper than others.

Moreover, in the new century, traditional action movies are no longer popular.Instead, special effects blockbusters like X-Men, Spider-Man, The Matrix, Harry Potter, and more.

At that time, Xiang Nan's career will encounter bottlenecks, so he must also plan ahead and hold some popular IPs in his hands early.Otherwise, it may be eliminated by the market at any time.

……

Next, while Xiang Nan was preparing his own project, he was also preparing for "400 Years of Surprise".

During the preparation process, his relationship with Winona Ryder naturally became deeper and deeper.

Winona Ryder likes talented men very much. Over the years, she has dated such as Johnny Depp, David Pirner (lead singer of Soul Asylum), Matt Damon, Scott Hahn ( Well-known designers), are very talented and special people.

And Xiang Nan's talent and expertise are far superior to those of his peers, so it is easy to attract Winona's attention.Therefore, in the process of film preparation, the two quickly came together.

It is said that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the relationship between the two was quickly reported by the well-informed media.

"Charles and Winona are suspected to be in love~"

"Winona and Charles drank coffee sweetly, and ran away after being hit by a reporter~"

"Winona acquiesces in the scandal with Charles, and declares that she appreciates the other party's talent~"

The media reported one after another, and for a while, it set off an upsurge of public opinion.

Cong Shan has been in the United States for many years and is proficient in language and writing, so she can understand and understand the news.She was also very angry because the news was so eloquent, so she specifically asked Xiang Nan about it.

Xiang Nan naturally refused to admit it, "Don't listen to their nonsense, I was just talking to her about filming, but the media misunderstood it and insisted that we were together, which is really nonsense.

Shanshan, if I really had a relationship with her, would I be so stupid to hang out with her in public, waiting to be caught? "

"You have nothing to do with her?" Cong Shan asked suspiciously.

"It's a cooperative relationship. She is the heroine of a new film of mine. It doesn't matter anything else." Xiang Nan said without blushing, "Don't think too much about it, don't you believe me?"

After hearing this, Cong Shan could only nod her head.
