Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 1906 1908【Relieved】

   "You should try to persuade me again, if it doesn't work, you will force me to take this play." Michelle Pfeiffer complained, "That way, I won't be a joke."

  Xiang Nan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard her say that.

  No matter how beautiful a woman is, it's the same if she looks unreasonable.

"Okay, don't worry too much." He persuaded with a smile, ""Thelma and Louise" is also my work, and I have the same confidence in it. Don't worry, it won't be any worse than "The Silence of the Lambs" go."

   "Really?" Michelle Pfeiffer asked suspiciously.

   "When did I ever lie to you?" Xiang Nan smiled and said.

   "Okay." Michelle nodded, "If this movie is not popular, then you promise to arrange for me a movie that will be popular."

   "Okay." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.

   Michelle felt relieved.

  …

  In October, Li Jiaxin got her visa and came to Hollywood.

  Xiang Nan settled her in the Riccarton Hotel, which made Li Jiaxin a little dissatisfied.

She knew that Xiang Nan had a house in Hollywood. It was a mansion built in the 1960s, covering an area of ​​about 20 acres. It was built by the then American oil tycoon Joey Vanderpump in order to pursue the then Hollywood star Faye Dunaway. build.

   But unfortunately, the two had broken up before the house was built, so the house was sold by Vanderpump and a real estate company took over for rent.

  ** In the year of the U.S. real estate crash, real estate companies were heavily in debt and faced liquidation. Xiang Nan bought it cheaply at less than one-tenth of the current market price, and made a profit of less than 10 million US dollars on this item alone.

   This matter was later reported by the media, and it was taken as a case of his investment vision and spread for a long time.

   Li Jiaxin had heard the news, because she was not satisfied with Xiang Nan's arrangement for her to stay in a hotel instead of his house.

   "Do you want to stay in a hotel? I thought you would arrange for me to stay at your house." Li Jiaxin pretended to be casual.

   "Why, you wanted to come into my house when you first came here, are you the master of the house?" Xiang Nan also smiled and said, "Don't worry, there has to be a process."

   Li Jiaxin nodded, and then asked, "Charles, if you want me to develop in Hollywood, what good script can you give me?"

   "Don't worry, I have arrangements." Xiang Nan smiled, "I promise I won't disappoint you."

  He didn't plan to arrange for Li Jiaxin to act in a movie right away. The reason is simple, he invited Li Jiaxin to come to Hollywood to develop, but he just used it as bait.

   Li Jiaxin's acting skills are not good, and his appearance is not outstanding in Hollywood. If you ask her to make a film, you dare not say that you will lose money, at least you have to take a big risk.

  Xiang Nan was only greedy for her for a while, and he really didn't want to pay too much. And now a medium-budget movie in Hollywood has an investment of more than 20 million US dollars.

   In order to pick up a girl, take a risk of 20 million dollars, unless Xiang Nan has a high fever and is confused.

   Li Jiaxin nodded when he saw what he said.

  …

   After a period of time, Xiang Nan didn't arrange a movie for Li Jiaxin, but only helped her arrange to attend some events.

  For example, Los Angeles Fashion Week, such as a fashion brand new product launch, such as a party of a Hollywood superstar, such as an exhibition of a certain art master, etc.

  These events are often full of stars and rich people. For ordinary people, they are all dreamed of, and there is no way to get in if they want to attend.

  But for Xiang Nan, participating in it was a piece of cake.

   Li Jiaxin is very willing to attend this kind of event, enjoying the attention of all the people and the feeling of being superior, so he never tires of it, and gradually gets lost in the Hollywood Vanity Fair.

   There are two skills in the world of picking up girls. If she is not deeply involved in the world, take her to see the prosperity of the world;

  Li Jiaxin has just debuted for two years, and she is also at the level of inexperienced. And the prosperity of Hollywood is far beyond Xiangjiang's comparison. Even if those rich people chase her, they usually just give money and things, and show a little more courtesy, and they will never be able to reach Xiang Nan's level.

  So within a month, Li Jiaxin was obediently captured by him.

  …

  In October, "Thelma and Louise" will be released immediately after "The Silence of the Lambs".

This movie, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Demi Moore, tells the story of a pair of girlfriends who accidentally killed someone in order to resist the harassment of a man when they were on vacation. Without effective help, they had to start desperately End of the World story.

   This is a feminist movie, which reflects the oppression and injustice suffered by women in the patriarchal society of the United States. It still looks very emotional.

   Coupled with the wonderful performances of Michelle Pfeiffer and Demi Moore, it really made many audiences excited, so the reputation of this movie is very good.

   Michelle Pfeiffer breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

  What she worries most is that "Thelma & Louise" won't get a good response. When the time comes, people will treat her as a joke. But now "Thelma & Louise" received a very good response, which made her feel relieved.

   Moreover, "Thelma & Louise" ended up with a North American box office of 45 million U.S. dollars, and a global box office of nearly 100 million U.S. dollars.

  Although it is not as good as "The Silence of the Lambs", as a movie featuring two female stars, it is already very good to achieve such a result.

  At least in Michelle Pfeiffer's opinion, it was worth it for her to give up "The Silence of the Lambs" for this movie.

  …

  In November, "Killing Kennedy" directed by Oliver Stone and starring Kevin Costner will be released.

   This is a political thriller that tells the story of prosecutor Jim Garrison who, through meticulous investigation, finally revealed the truth about the assassination of President Kennedy.

  The film's screenplay is based on a novel written by the real person Jim Garrison. In order to create this script, Oliver Stone did not hesitate to read hundreds of books on the Kennedy assassination case, and did a detailed compilation of materials.

   And when shooting, they did not hesitate to spend money and strive for excellence.

  For example, Kennedy’s office in the movie was restored one-to-one according to the archives at the time, and a price of 70,000 U.S. dollars was paid for it. But such a well-built office only appeared for eight seconds in the movie.

   However, such efforts are still very effective.

  The audience spoke highly of this movie, thinking that the story is ups and downs and fascinating. Although it is three hours long, which is twice as long as ordinary movies, it is not boring at all when watching it. On the contrary, after watching it, it still makes people feel unfinished.

   Therefore, the box office of this movie is very good, with a box office of more than 70 million U.S. dollars in North America and a global box office of 205 million U.S. dollars.

  Compared to an investment of 40 million US dollars, it can be said to be a big profit.
