Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   Chapter 1839 1841 [New team members]

  "Ghostbusters 2" immediately sent invitations to the original team members, and they all encountered some troubles.

  Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and others all want to come, after all, they all owe a big favor to Xiang Nan. But the key is that they all have movies to shoot now, and the schedules cannot be missed.

  After they became popular, there were countless drama appointments, one after another. He is no longer the little guy who was not sure to take on a drama a year ago.

  They all expressed their willingness to make cameo appearances, but it was really beyond their capabilities to play the main role and play the whole process.

  Xiang Nan was also mentally prepared. He knew that after these stars become famous, it is unlikely that they will get together. Being able to make a guest appearance is already very respectable.

  Just like "Wulin Biography", before the filming started, the leading actors were basically young actors. After the filming started, all of them became popular. It is impossible to get together to make a sequel.

   Fortunately, he was also prepared. If these people really couldn't come, he wrote that they would set up branches in other cities. At the last moment, let everyone come out to show their unity, which is enough for fans to be excited.

  Xiang Nan then re-searched for new players, and soon made a decision.

  Kevin Costner, Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis, and Pierce Brosnan, these middle school students who will become popular in the future, most of them are still second- and third-tier artists now.

   Kevin Costner made his debut in 1983 and played an important role in the first movie he starred in. But it's a pity that all the scenes were deleted later. However, his acting skills and professional attitude have attracted the attention of the industry.

   Until 1987, he participated in "The Untouchables" and officially became famous in the industry.

  Mel Gibson made his debut in 1977, and has his own famous work "Mad Max". This movie was a sensation and profoundly influenced a large number of film and television works of later generations.

  However, this movie was only successful once. By the time the third film was filmed, the box office had dropped to more than 30 million U.S. dollars, basically not making any money. Mel Gibson is also facing the threat of passing gas.

  Bruce Willis and Pierce Brosnan are now TV stars. They starred in "Moonlight Detective Agency" and "Legend of Steele" are very popular.

  However, TV star and movie star are not the same concept, and the grades are far apart.

  For example, the six leading actors of "Friends" can all be regarded as top-notch in the TV industry. But if they go to make movies, most of them can only make small and medium-budget movies, and they are not even starring roles, but only supporting roles.

  So after the four of them received Xiang Nande's invitation, they all agreed immediately. For them, this is really a great honor.

  …

   As for the heroine, Xiang Nan is also planning to change.

  The heroine of the first film is Phoebe Cates. She is very beautiful, and she was also very popular when she starred at that time. She is a newly promoted teenage idol.

  But Phoebe Cates has a good family background, her father is a TV producer, and her uncle is a film director, so her career ambition is not strong.

  After filming "Ghostbusters", she even took a break for a year and didn't take on the show. She only cared about love and play, which led to a decline in popularity.

   And because she has so many scandals, Xiang Nan is unwilling to use her again, so he is going to change the heroine. Coincidentally, Nicole Kidman came to the United States with him, and before any arrangements were made, Xiang Nan decided to cast her as the heroine.

   This naturally made Nicole very happy.

  She knows how successful "Ghost Chasing Squad" is. After it was released the year before last, it earned 240 million US dollars in box office worldwide. It was re-screened last year, and it made tens of millions of dollars. The cumulative box office is nearly 300 million, which shows how successful it is.

  As for Xiang Nan's movies, the sequels are often more popular than the previous ones, so she also has confidence in "Ghostbusters 2". After the movie is released and the box office sells well, she will be able to gain a foothold in Hollywood. She is really excited to think about it.

   For this reason, she became more active and enthusiastic towards Xiang Nan.

  …

   "Ghostbusters 2" immediately started filming.

   Meanwhile, The Princess Bride, a nonsensical comedy starring Mia Sara, Keanu Reeves and Johnny Depp, is officially wrapping up and launching soon.

   This movie is a spicy parody of the Disney princess movies. Disney princess movies have been produced since 1937 and have a history of nearly fifty years.

  These animated films are quite popular. Even decades after their birth, Disney can still rely on them to earn hundreds of millions in licensing fees every year, which can be said to be Disney’s cash cow.

   Also because it has been born for a long time and is popular enough, the American people are familiar with it. That's why it's especially popular when it comes to spoofing now.

  So after the movie was released, the box office was quite good. In the end, the domestic box office was 56 million US dollars, and the global box office is estimated to exceed 100 million.

   Compared with the investment of less than 10 million US dollars, this movie can be said to be a big success.

   Therefore, Mia Sara has stabilized her position as a woman at the end of the line and at the head of the second line. As for Keanu Reeves and Johnny Depp, they were instant hits and successfully made their names in Hollywood.

  …

  Seeing that the market response to spoof movies is so good, major film companies can't help but invest in it one after another.

   Various spoof comedy projects have been launched one after another, and Xiang Nan has invested in the "Golden Detective" project.

   "The White-headed Detective" was originally a funny drama series launched by ABC in 1982. But because the content of the series is too advanced, the audience is not used to this kind of nonsensical spoof, so after six episodes were broadcast, the TV series was cut.

  Just like when "A Chinese Journey to the West" was first released, mainland audiences couldn't accept it, and the box office was not good at all, which even led to the closure of the investment company Colorful Star Pictures.

  Who would have thought that a few years later, this movie, which was once dismissed as cultural trash, would become popular on the Internet and become a classic of Chinese-language movies.

  The same is true for "The White-headed Detective", which was not taken seriously at first. Knowing that in 1988, the original crew adapted it into a movie, and it was a great success.

   Both the first two films entered the top ten of the annual box office rankings. Although the third film did not enter the top ten, it also achieved a good box office.

  So, when the spoof movies became popular and the producers of the original "Galthead" crew began to promote the "Galthead" project everywhere, Xiang Nan found them and invested 12 million US dollars.

  He believes that this movie will bring him rich rewards.

   In addition, he also prepared a project of "Aeroplane Head".

   This movie is Jim Carrey's famous work, telling the story of an animal detective helping the team find the mascot dolphin Snowflake. Jim Carrey used his funny skills in this film, and played a case that was not too complicated in the first place, with great fun and full effect.

   Therefore, Jim Carrey became a hit and became a well-known comedy star in Hollywood.

   In addition, there is also the then unknown Courtney Cox in the film, that is, Monica in "Friends". It's a pity that her brilliance was completely overshadowed by Jim Carrey, which is a pity.
