Chapter 1947 [Picking up a big deal]

……

Xiang Nan then arranged actors.

"Men in Black" is still starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, and the heroine is Dennis Richards.

Will Smith made his debut in [-]. He was a rapper at the beginning. His record sales were very good, and he even won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Group.

But it's a pity that after he got rich, he spent money lavishly, so before he was 22 years old, he had already bankrupted himself.

Fortunately, he was still well-known at that time, so he was invited to star in the comedy "Cousin in the Tea Pot" named after him.As a result, the show became an instant hit and lasted for six seasons.

Will Smith not only paid off the debt, but also became a well-known TV star in the United States, and thus entered the film industry. Last year, he starred in "Bad Boys" with Martin Lawrence.

Although the movie has not yet been released, Xiang Nan has already seen the copy, and thinks that the quality is comparable to the original, and it must be a big hit, so he plans to continue using him.

……

"Air Force One", Xiang Nan is going to invite Tom Hanks to star.

Compared with Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks' acting skills are not weak at all, and his salary is more reasonable.

Because Harrison Ford likes to ask for a share of the box office, when he filmed "The Chase" in 6000, he took away [-] million US dollars directly with the addition of a share of the film salary.

And the friendship between Tom Hanks and Xiang Nan is worth 500 million US dollars.After all, Xiang Nan discovered him single-handedly, without Xiang Nan, he would not be where he is now.

And every time he cooperates with Xiang Nan, he can improve himself to a higher level, so Tom Hanks is also willing to charge a friendly price.Just like many big-name stars like to cut their salaries to cooperate with big directors.

They know that all the salary they lost today will be earned back several times or dozens of times later.

……

"Into the Deadly Island", a classic by Nicolas Cage.But the most brilliant in the movie should be the veteran British agent played by Sean Connery. He is elegant, calm, unrestrained, wise, and patriotic.

And General Hammer, played by Ed Harris, has outstanding military exploits and a strong sense of justice. In order to help his subordinates seek justice, he was forced to betray the motherland. He is a typical tragic figure.

Xiang Nan still plans to use them, after all, he can't think of any other replacements for this team.

Ransom Storm, starring Bruce Willis and Jennifer Connelly; Broken Arrow, starring Kevin Costner, Sylvester Stallone, Famke Janssen; Day, starring Tom Cruise...

As for "Wishing the City", Xiang Nan recommended Brooke Shields and Zhong Liti.As for Wen Bixia, Xiang Nan plans to let her play a role in "Independence Day".

……

In February, Universal released "Interview with the Vampire," starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman.

The lineup of this film is absolutely luxurious.The two most handsome guys in Hollywood at the moment, and the most beautiful loli, are already worth the ticket price just by their looks.

What's more, this movie is not just a movie for selling face. Its plot is twists and turns, the lines are refined, and the twists and turns are constant. It is a movie full of tension and emotion.

Therefore, after its release, the film has achieved a very good reputation.The box office performance is naturally even more impressive, with a North American box office of 500 million and a global box office of 3000 million US dollars.

It can be seen from this that the beauty's box office appeal is huge.

……

When Xiang Nan was busy preparing for the new project, James Cameron found Xiang Nan, hoping that he could invest in "Titanic".

After all, this movie is not only related to the survival of Fox Pictures, but also to the second half of James Cameron's life.If the movie ends here, so does James Cameron's career.

Sergio Leone, who filmed the trilogy of The Good Guys, was sent back to Europe to retire because of the failure of "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​at the box office.

Sylvester Stallone is now reduced to playing the villain again because of the fiasco of "Water World".James Cameron caused a loss of 3000 million US dollars this time. I am afraid that no company will dare to use him again in the future, and he does not want to go back to driving a train.

Faced with Cameron's request, Xiang Nan pretended to hesitate, "James, we have feelings for each other, and I really want to help you. However, the project of "Titanic" is likely to cause me to lose money .

Well, if Fox Films is willing to sell this project to me at a price of 6000 million US dollars, maybe I can consider whether to take it or not. "

James Cameron then relayed Xiang Nan's words to Fox Films.

When Fox Pictures heard this, they were also a little angry.

Because of this movie, they have already invested 3000 million U.S. dollars, Xiang Nan now wants to take over 6000 million U.S. dollars, which is really deceitful.

But if it is not sold to him, I do not know how much money will be invested in "Titanic".It is also unknown whether the cost can be recovered after the investment.

After all, the fiasco of "Future Water World" is in sight, and no one can guarantee that "Titanic" will be a hit.

Therefore, after consideration, Fox Films decided to sell the project to Xiang Nan, but the price was 3000 million US dollars.

Fox Pictures doesn't want to suffer losses, and wants to get all their capital back.

Xiang Nan pretended to bargain with it, and finally set the price at 3000 million US dollars.As a result, Fox Pictures lost $[-] million and lost a hot potato.

Xiang Nan spent [-] million US dollars and got a huge bargain.

He then injected $6000 million to allow James Cameron to continue filming.

Cameron was already on the verge of despair. Whether the film can be made here is directly related to his career, so he is worried every day.

Now that he finally had the funds, he immediately summoned the crew to start filming.

"Charles, thank you very much." He said gratefully to Xiang Nan. Without Xiang Nan's help, his movie would be over.

"You're welcome, James, I've always admired you." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Make it well, I believe your movie will be a hit."

"Thank you." Cameron nodded.

Encouraged by Xiang Nan, his fighting spirit is even higher.

……

In March, the Oscars ceremony begins.

Xiang Nan walked the red carpet with Nicole Kidman.

Nicole Kidman and George Clooney starred in DreamWorks' first film "Doomsday Alert" the year before last.

The film was released last year, but the word-of-mouth box office was very mediocre.Nicole Kidman was attacked by the media because of this, saying that she couldn't even play a vase well.It made her very depressed.

So she can only go back to Xiang Nan for help.
