Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   Chapter 1895 1897 [Continue to drag]

   After staying in Xiangjiang for about half a month, Xiang Nan returned to Hollywood.

  In November, the price tag of Universal Pictures has reached 6.3 billion US dollars.

   It seems that Panasonic is still paying high prices, which is why it gave Universal Pictures such ample confidence.

  Xiang Nan agreed, but still asked the third-party company to continue to delay.

  In the same month, "Ask the Sky Without Words" was officially released in the United States.

   This film won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and also starred Robin Williams and Nicolas Cage. After its release, it also received very good reviews in the United States.

  In the end, the film earned 35 million US dollars at the box office. For a literary film, such a box office result can be said to be very good.

   Needless to say, Robin Williams is a well-known veteran actor in Hollywood and one of the most outstanding actors in acting. The key is that Nicolas Cage, when he acted opposite him, was not stage-frightened, and won unanimous praise from the industry.

   For Cage, this is the best reward for him.

  …

  In December, "Fighting Eagles" starring Jim Carrey was released.

  The preparations for this film began in March, and the filming was completed in August, which happened to be released in December.

   The movie "Falling Condor" is mainly a spoof of "Top Gun". "Top Gun" was a smash hit after it was released that year, not only at the box office, but also with a burst of word of mouth.

   Especially the picture of Tom Cruise driving a fighter plane galloping in the blue sky is really cool, so after the movie was released, the number of people signing up for the U.S. Air Force tripled. It can be seen that its charm is great.

  The essence of spoof films is to deconstruct classics. Like "The White-headed Detective" deconstructs 007, "A Chinese Journey to the West" deconstructs "Journey to the West", "East and West" deconstructs Jin Yong's classic martial arts...

   As a classic movie, "Top Gun" has such a great influence in the United States, so it naturally became the object of spoofing.

   Originally, this movie was starring Charlie Sheen. At that time, he was a little fresh meat in Hollywood. He became famous in Hollywood with "Platoon" and "Wall Street".

  In addition, he has a big star father Martin Sheen, and his eldest brother Emilio Estevez who is also an actor and director, so everyone thinks that Charlie Sheen's future is bright.

   But he is a typical example of playing a good hand to a pulp. Eating, drinking, watching, gambling, smoking, all kinds of poisons, life is extremely absurd. I once tried spending 50,000 U.S. dollars and called 27 women to have a carnival at home at the same time.

  Because her life was too erosive, she contracted AIDS, which scared half of Hollywood to the hospital for an examination.

  Xiang Nan has no objection to Charlie Sheen, but he naturally hopes to praise someone who is closer to him than to praise him.

  Jim Carrey has worked with him many times, and the relationship is also very good, so if there is a good opportunity, he is naturally willing to give it to Jim Carrey.

  Jim Carrey is a genius at acting in comedies, much higher than Charlie Sheen's talent. Therefore, he starred in "Anti-Fighting Condor" with even better laughter, which made the audience laugh from ear to ear, so it was very popular.

  In the end, "The Condor" grossed $82 million at the box office, making it one of the top-grossing films of the Christmas season.

  Jim Carrey has also become Hollywood's top comedy star by virtue of two blockbuster works within a year.

  …

  Christmas, Xiang Nan accompanied Cong Shan and her son to spend a happy and reunited Christmas peacefully.

   Entering January, it is time for the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony.

  This year, Xiang Nan has many films shortlisted for awards, such as "Dances with Wolves", "The Hunt for Red October", "Ask the Sky Without Words", "Born on the Fourth of July" and "Pretty Woman".

   There are three shortlisted for the best picture alone. And there are only five films shortlisted for this award, so Xiang Nan is proud of this alone.

   And he also participated in this awards ceremony, and finally won the Golden Globe Award for Best Drama in the Drama category with "Dances with Wolves".

  In addition, Kevin Costner won the Best Director Award, Michelle Pfeiffer won the Best Actress Award, and Michael Blake won the Best Screenplay Award, which can be said to be a rewarding experience.

   At the party after the awards ceremony, Xiang Nan met Winona Ryder again.

   "Charles, you have missed my appointment twice. When will you invite me for your coffee?" Winona Ryder looked at Xiang Nan and said angrily.

   Xiang Nan made an appointment for coffee with her before, but he kept missing the appointment, which made her feel very shameless.

  Xiang Nan smiled awkwardly when he heard this.

  He wanted to ask Winona to drink coffee, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Especially last year, the family had a baby importer, and he had to take care of Cong Shan, so he couldn't find a suitable time.

   "I'm really sorry, so, I must find time to treat you?" Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Do you want me to be missed again? I won't give you another chance." Winona Ryder said firmly.

   "If I said, I have a very good script and I hope you can act in it, what would you say?" Xiang Nan laughed.

  Hearing what he said, Winona Ryder's eyes lit up, "Okay, then I'll give you another chance."

   "Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.

  …

  At the party, Xiang Nanyou invested in two projects.

   One is "Fighting Wits" written by SNL's popular pillar Mike Myers.

  SNL's full name is "Saturday Night Live".

  Countless stars and big names like to do funny performances on this show, so as to show their funny talents and expand their acting career.

   And the show itself has become popular with countless stars, such as Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell, Eddie Murphy, Adam **** and so on.

  Mike Myers is both a screenwriter and an artist. He has worked in SNL for six years and has accumulated a strong popularity. And "Fighting Wits and Stars" is a script written by himself. Although it is not yet mature, it also has many bright spots, so Xiang Nan is willing to support it.

   Moreover, if Xiang Nan remembers correctly, this buddy once starred in the "Ace of the Big Die" series. He played spy Austin Powers, probably the cheapest spy on the big screen. Since he has also starred in such a popular movie, it shows that he still has a certain talent.

  Another project is a TV series—Baywatch, which is the favorite of Joey and Chandler in "Friends."

   This TV series was originally broadcast on NBC, but it was canceled by NBC after only one season. But the producer felt that this show still had potential, so it sought investment everywhere, trying to keep the project.

  Although Xiang Nan has never watched this TV series, he has seen "Friends" and knows that this TV series is quite popular, so he invested in it.
