Chapter 1767: 1769 [Compensation for Jackie Chan]
Chapter 1767 1769 [Compensation for Jackie Chan]
After the filming of "Junior and Brother", in order to thank Lin Zhengying, Ren Shiguan and others for their support, Xiang Nan also helped them make a movie-"Ghosts Fighting Ghosts".
Being the leader of the team, you can't just care about yourself. In that case, the brother's heart will soon be broken, and it won't last for a few years. After all, everyone wants to be popular, so why should you be the only one to be famous, and others can only watch.
"Ghosts Fighting Ghosts" was originally a fantasy kung fu film released by Sammo Hung in the 1980s. Integrating horror, comedy, kung fu, etc., Xiangjiang is the only one in the world.
After the film was released, it did well at the box office, earning more than five million Hong Kong dollars, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation for fantasy films.
Lin Zhengying, Ren Shiguan and others didn't expect Xiang Nan to be so interesting, so they joined them and started a new play for them. This loyalty alone makes them grateful, and naturally everyone is brave.
…
In "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts", Xiang Nan is going to ask Jackie Chan to be the protagonist, which is regarded as compensation for stealing his chance to become famous.
Xiang Nan offered a remuneration of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars for this. For Jackie Chan, this price is very generous.
At this time, it happened that Luo Wei's company was not doing well, and it hadn't invested in Jackie Chan for several months. So when Xiang Nan asked him to make a film, Luo Wei happily let him go.
His idea is that the one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollar remuneration is not earned for nothing. Moreover, in case Jackie Chan becomes popular, he is still an artist of his company. At that time, he will be the one who will benefit the most.
Jackie Chan was also very happy to be invited by Xiang Nan to film. He has not raised funds for several months, and is desperately poor, and now someone offers him a hundred thousand to make a movie. Although he can only get 50,000, it will take a while.
Moreover, Xiang Nan's movies have been very popular in recent years. "Drunken Fist", "Snake-shaped Hand", "Laughing Fist", "The Prodigal Boy", all of them became popular.
This "Ghost Fighting Ghost" may also be popular. At that time, he will be able to enjoy Xiang Nan's noble spirit. If it becomes popular, wouldn't it be that Xianyu has turned over.
…
Just as "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts" was about to start filming, Xiang Nan also returned to the capital to take the final exam.
After the exam, he went to see Cong Shan again.
"How long can you stay in the capital this time?" Cong Shan asked with concern.
"Let's stay for a week at most." Xiang Nan explained, "There are still many things waiting for me in Xiangjiang."
"Oh, I really want you to stay for a few more days. Otherwise, it will take another half a year for you to meet again." Cong Shan said very reluctantly.
"Don't talk so bitterly, we are still young, and we still have a lot of life in the future." Xiang Nan persuaded with a smile, "Now is the rising period of my career, so I can't be too slack. How about it, I promise you at most, I will stay with you in the capital for ten days, is that okay?"
"Yes." Cong Shan nodded.
In the next ten days, Xiang Nan spent a good time with Cong Shan.
The two visited the Forty-Nine City of Yanjing, the Forbidden City, Jingshan, Xiangshan, Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan, Badaling...
…
After accompanying him, Xiang Nan returned to Xiangjiang.
At this time, "Junior and Brother" just launched.
The plot of this movie is more funny, the fighting is more intense, and it just catches up with the summer vacation, so the box office is higher.
It was released for one month, and the box office reached 10.67 million Hong Kong dollars. This is the first time that Hong Kong's Chinese-language films have grossed over 10 million yuan. After the results were announced, there was an uproar in Hong Kong.
Xiang Nan's status as chief action superstar can be said to be irreplaceable since then.
For a while, there were constant film appointments, and the film salary had risen to 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars. At that time, the luxury house in Mid-Levels was only four to five hundred thousand.
And being popular makes him more and more popular.
Whether you go to a bar to drink or go to a ballroom to dance, there will always be beautiful women approaching you,
But Xiang Nan didn't go around, he is dying to embroider Miao Kexiu.
After cooperating with "Ghost Horseman's Bewitching Trick" and "Junior and Brother Out", the relationship between the two is one step closer than before. Especially after Xiang Nan laid out his chariots and horses and launched a pursuit of Miao Kexiu, the relationship between the two became even closer.
However, Miao Kexiu still has some concerns.
Because she is eight years older than Xiang Nan. Not to mention that it was still in the 1970s, and the social atmosphere was relatively conservative. Even now, the difference between men and women is so great, it is enough to make people talk.
Xiang Nan was not discouraged.
For him, there are plenty of women, and there are women he wants. The more you can't catch up, the more flavorful it will be.
…
After "Junior and Brother" became popular, Golden Harvest was thinking about pushing Xiang Nan to Hollywood.
Because Hollywood is the center of world movies, with a box office of nearly three billion dollars a year. In comparison, Xiangjiang's annual box office is only 120 million Hong Kong dollars, a difference of two orders of magnitude.
Therefore, Hollywood is like a gold mine in the eyes of Xiangjiang filmmakers. Only by breaking into Hollywood can they reap the greatest benefits.
So, a few years ago, Golden Harvest cooperated with Warner Pictures to produce "Enter the Dragon" starring Bruce Lee. After the film was released in the United States, it achieved a super high box office of more than 90 million US dollars, which benefited Golden Harvest a lot.
It's a pity that Bruce Lee died suddenly before the movie was released, which made Golden Harvest miss the best opportunity to enter Hollywood. Otherwise, now Golden Harvest may have a place in the world film circle.
It is precisely because of such regrets that Golden Harvest hopes to replicate Bruce Lee's miracle.
Xiang Nan is now at the peak in Xiangjiang, and even in East Asia. Climbing up again, there is no way. The only way out is to break out of Asia and go to the world.
Therefore, Golden Harvest recommended Xiang Nan to go to Hollywood to develop.
Xiang Nan didn't mind this.
Because he also has the idea of going to the next level, but he also knows that it is very difficult for a person like him who has no roots to make a living in Hollywood.
Just like when he came to Xiangjiang last year, no one would take him seriously until he made a name for himself. He had to act according to other people's rules, and he had to listen to other people's arrangements for every move he made.
In that case, the possibility of success is very low.
Because Hollywood doesn’t know Xiang Nan well, they won’t tailor scripts and character designs for him, and they won’t consider his opinions and ideas. They will only apply the previous successful methods to him mechanically.
But the success method of others may not be suitable for him.
Just like Zhou Xingchi became popular, many people followed him to make nonsensical comedies. Zhang Weijian, Zhang Jiahui, Ge Minhui, etc., but none of them can replicate Zhou Xingchi's success.
This is exactly what the saying goes, those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die.
If Xiang Nan hadn’t launched a kung fu comedy before Jackie Chan, he wouldn’t have achieved what he is now.
So Xiang Nan suggested to Zou Wenhuai that it is okay to go to Hollywood, but he hopes to use the script he wrote himself.
After thinking about it, Zou Wenhuai agreed to Xiang Nan's request.
In the past two years, Xiang Nan has proved his talent with his self-written, directed and acted works such as "Laughing Fist", "The Prodigal Boy", and "Junior and Brother".
Worth a try.
