Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   Chapter 1794 1796 [Die Hard]

  After Xiang Nan arrived in the United States, he joined the crew of "Cannonball Run" and met with the main actors.

Roger Moore, the leading actor in 007; Peter Fonda, a top Hollywood actor; Porter Reynolds, one of the most popular American actors in the 1970s; Phila Foster, the drama version of "Thunderbolt" The leading role of "Girls", the top **** idol in the 1970s... and finally his partner in the film - Brooke Shields.

  The reason why Warner let them cooperate for the second time is mainly because the on-screen couple images created by the two in "Dragon Mighty Kid" are more recognized.

  In addition, the two people are also very popular in CP speculation offline. Although the heat has cooled down a bit now, it is good to go back to the pot to make use of the residual heat.

   "Charles, I miss you so much." Seeing Xiang Nan again, Brooke Shields was very excited, "Why didn't you call me after you went back?"

   "I thought our relationship would be automatically terminated when the publicity ended." Xiang Nan explained, "If I call you again, it will be harassment."

   "It's okay, just call me." Brooke Shields smiled, "Not only do I not mind, but I welcome it."

   "Okay, but I have to avoid your mother, I don't want to get a blank stare." Xiang Nan nodded and said.

   "I really wish I could leave her sooner, I can't stand her anymore." Brooke Shields said with emotion when she heard it.

  Her mother is too controlling, and she has to obey her mother's arrangements in every move she has made since she was a child. If she asks her to take photos, she will take photos, if she asks her to take commercials, she will accept commercials, if she asks her to make R-rated movies, she will shoot R-rated movies, if she doesn’t let her fall in love, she won’t fall in love...

  She felt like a Barbie doll being manipulated by her mother. Although Barbie dolls are beautiful, beautiful and popular, who likes this puppet-like life.

   "At least you have to wait until you become an adult and take back your guardianship." Xiang Nan reminded.

   In the United States, guardians have great powers. All civil rights of the ward are controlled by the guardian. Including property rights, personal rights, health rights, and even employment rights, health rights, etc.

   In particular, Terry Shields is also Brooke Shields' agent, responsible for representing all her performing arts activities. Therefore, her tentacles can penetrate into every aspect of Brooke Shields' life and control her in all directions.

   Before taking back the guardianship, it is impossible for Brooke Shields to escape control.

   "Well, I really hope to grow up sooner." Brooke Shields nodded.

  …

  In March, "Cannonball Run" officially started filming.

  At this time, Xiang Nan already knew about the box office hit of "Police Story".

  This has benefited him a lot, and he has more bargaining power with Jiahe.

  Especially in film investment. Golden Harvest was still hesitant to shoot "Police Story" at 12 million Hong Kong dollars. Now let it spend 12 million Hong Kong dollars to film a movie, and it promises not to say anything.

  During filming, Xiang Nan also presented his carefully prepared script—"Die Hard".

"Die Hard" is a classic action movie starring Bruce Willis in 1988. The cost was 28 million US dollars, but the total box office was as high as 140 million US dollars, ranking No. 1 in the annual box office list. Seven, can be said to make a lot of money.

  Bruce Willis became an instant hit and became a popular action movie superstar in Hollywood. And John McLean, who he played, is regarded as synonymous with tough guys.

   This movie was later imitated by Hong Kong movies. "Die Hard" starring Jet Li and Jacky Cheung borrowed from this movie.

  Xiang Nan thought that the movie "Die Hard" was very suitable for him. On the one hand, the box office of this movie is hot enough, on the other hand, it is also suitable for the image of a tough guy he portrays.

   It's just that his personality needs to be changed.

  Bruce Willis was already thirty-two years old when he starred in this movie, so he acted like McClane went to the company to visit his wife, but accidentally ran into a robber.

  Xiang Nan is only twenty-two years old this year, so it's inappropriate to visit his wife, and it's fine to visit his girlfriend instead.

  …

  After the script of "Die Hard" was sent up, Warner Pictures passed the review and expressed their interest in it and were willing to buy the script.

  Xiang Nan agreed, but insisted on adding that this movie must be starred by him, which cannot be changed.

  Warner said it needs to be considered.

  Because the scene of this movie is relatively large, the investment needs at least 15 million US dollars, which is a large investment.

   After all, Xiang Nan is of Chinese descent, and his box office appeal is limited. No one knows whether he can create another miracle.

   Therefore, it has to carefully weigh the gains and losses of benefits.

  Xiang Nan didn't urge it either. Without Zhang Butcher, he wouldn't eat hairy pigs.

  There are so many film companies in Hollywood, Warner is not the only one.

  He ordered his agent to send the script to several film companies. Especially big companies like Universal, Fox, Paramount, and Columbia.

  They will definitely be interested in this script. After all, a good script and a good story are like gold in the sand, which cannot be hidden.

   Sure enough, after seeing the script, the major film companies expressed their willingness to invest.

   Among them, Universal Pictures is the most active. Not only was he willing to pay for the filming, but he also promised that Xiang Nan would be the starring role, and the film salary was paid one million US dollars.

   At that time, the salary was not too high, but it was definitely not low either.

  Warner couldn't sit still immediately after hearing the news.

  The script of "Die Hard" is a good script at first glance, with vivid characters, ups and downs of the story, and thrills. Such a movie, unless it's silly, will be turned away.

  The reason why it has to consider it is nothing more than trying to make a difference.

   Now seeing that this project is going to be snatched by Universal Pictures, it is naturally unwilling to do it. So he immediately sent someone to find Xiang Nan, hoping to keep the project.

   It is better to be acquainted than to be a raw man. Xiang Nan finally decided to cooperate with Warner.

   And CAA also helped Xiang Nan win the best cooperation conditions. Not only the film salary is one million US dollars, but also a 2% profit share.

  If "Die Hard" can make a profit of 100 million US dollars, then Xiang Nan can get 2 million shares. Of course this is ideal.

  Actually, Hollywood film companies are relatively thieves. Even big-selling movies can be turned into losses by them. Therefore, powerful superstars will ask to be divided according to the box office.

   But in any case, this condition is already considered good for Xiang Nan.

  …

Preparations for "Die Hard" began immediately, and because of Xiang Nan's strong suggestion, Wood Heathrow, who had conflicts with him before, was excluded from the list of candidate producers, because Xiang Nan did not want to do it again. Cooperate with him.

   This made Wood Heathrow regret greatly. If he had treated Xiang Nan well, he would not have ended up in such a situation.
