Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   Chapter 1915 1917 [True Friends]

  Xiang Nan took Catherine Zeta-Jones down the red carpet, immediately making her the focus of the media.

  Countless spears and cannons were aimed at her together, which also made Zeta Jones enjoy the feeling of much attention.

   This is something she absolutely couldn't experience when she was a stage actress in the UK, and she likes and is obsessed with this feeling very much.

   "Charles, you and Catherine walked the red carpet. Could it be that you have a new collaboration?" the host asked curiously.

   "That's right, my new film will use Catherine as the heroine." Xiang Nan explained with a smile.

   "What kind of movie will it be?" the host asked immediately.

   "It's a romantic literary film." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I won't talk about the specific content of the story. In short, I assure you that it must be a very exciting and very good-looking movie."

   "Then we're looking forward to it." The host nodded.

  …

   Then at the Golden Globe Awards, both "Terminator 2" and "Scent of a Woman" won many awards. In particular, "Scent of a Woman" won two awards for best film in the drama category and best actor, becoming the biggest winner of the show.

  It's a pity that the Golden Globe Awards have a tradition of sharing pork. Although Xiang Nan was shortlisted for the Best Screenplay Award, he eventually lost to Michael Tolkien's "The Player Behind the Scenes". But being able to win the best picture award already made Xiang Nan very happy.

   It is worth mentioning that last year Xiang Nan participated in the production of the new drama "Friends", which was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Musical Comedy Series this year, but it was a pity that it lost to "Ross Under Family Life".

   This series has been broadcast since 1988, and has been produced for nine seasons, and it was not announced that it was over until 1997. To see whether an American drama is popular or not, you can tell by the number of seasons it has been produced.

  The more popular the work, the less the production company and TV station want to end it because it makes the most money.

  For example, "Friends" has been filmed for ten seasons. If it weren't for the actors who really didn't want to act, it would not be a problem for this show to shoot another five or six seasons. "The Big Bang Theory" has been filmed for 12 seasons, and the leading actors also don't want to film any more. "Two and a Half Heroes" also filmed twelve seasons, "24 Hours of Anti-Terrorism" filmed eight seasons, and then restarted and filmed two more seasons...

  So "Rossunder Family Life" can make nine seasons, you can see that this show is really popular. As a novice, "Friends" can compete with such a hot drama for the best musical comedy series, which is already a great thing.

   It is worth mentioning that Johnny Galeck, who played Leonard in "The Big Bang Theory", and Laurie Metcalf, who played Sheldon's mother, are both starring in this show.

  …

  At the party after the Golden Globe Awards, the big winner, Xiang Nan, received the most congratulations and made other participants envious.

  After exchanging pleasantries with them, Xiang Nan met the other five leading actors of "Friends" under the recommendation of Courtney Cox.

  Although the five of them have different personalities, they are all relatively easy-going people. After working together for half a year, we got along very happily, and we really became friends.

   This is actually rare in the history of American dramas. Many artists see each other as enemies in private, even though they are happily cooperating on screen.

  For example, the hero and heroine of "Spiritual Detective", Nathan Fillion and Steiner Kadic are lovers in the play, but in real life they want to see each other and hate each other.

  So much so that the heroine Steiner Kadic resolutely withdrew in the eighth season, which made the original good series lead to an unfinished end, which is a pity.

   "I'm really glad to meet you." Xiang Nan smiled and said to them, "Actually, you may not know that I personally selected the six of you."

  Hearing what she said, the six of them were a little excited.

  Xiang Nan is one of the most outstanding producers in Hollywood. The films produced every year are both box office and word-of-mouth. There is almost no failure.

  The artists selected by him will basically become popular in the end. Such as Michelle Pfeiffer, Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Brad Pitt...

  Since the six of them were also selected by Xiang Nan, they must be very popular, which made them very happy. After all, except for Courtney, the other five are basically transparent now, not even third-tier.

   "Really, Charles, thank you~" Lisa Kudrow said excitedly.

   "Yes, thank you very much for choosing us." David Hume also said gratefully.

   "You're welcome." Xiang Nan smiled, "I heard from Courtney that you two have a good relationship in private. This is a good thing, and you should work hard to maintain it.

  I hope that you are friends not only in the drama, but also in real life. Believe me, this is in your favor. "

  The six leading actors of "Friends" are all good friends inside and outside the play, so that the audience can get the best viewing experience.

  Because the reason why many people watch "Friends" over and over again is not because of how funny the show is.

  To be honest, after watching any comedy dozens of times, when you know all the stories, all the lines, and all the performances by heart, it is difficult to be as hilarious as when you first watched it. Even watching a new movie will make you laugh more often.

  The reason why many people watch this drama repeatedly is because they have regarded the six leading actors as their friends, hoping to gain friendship and love that are difficult to obtain in real life from the drama.

   Therefore, if they are friends in the play and in real life, it will bring more healing to the audience.

   "We will work hard." The six said one after another.

  …

  Xiang Nan then finalized two projects.

  One is the American drama "X-Files", which tells the story of detectives Scarlett and Mulder investigating mysterious events together.

   This TV series is quite well-known in the history of American TV series. It integrates many elements such as UFO, urban ghost talk, science fiction, conspiracy theory, etc. It is bizarre and fascinating, so it has won the love of countless diehard fans.

  Even years after the episode ended, there are still fans on the forums who create fan-made versions of the script of "The X-Files", which shows how much they like this show.

  The other is the movie "Philadelphia Story", which tells the story of lawyer Andrew who was expelled from the law firm because he was found to be crooked and a patient with love death. For this reason, he found lawyer Joe to seek justice for himself...

  In the early 1990s, homosexuality and AIDS were still relatively taboo topics in the United States. There are very few film and television dramas that dare to face this field directly, and everyone ignores it intentionally or unintentionally.

   And this "Philadelphia Story" is the first film to face AIDS, which has extraordinary significance. But it is also true that many film companies have doubts about investing in it. So much so that the script was written for more than two years, but investment has never been drawn.

  Xiang Nan knew about this film, which was said to be a classic of literary films, so he agreed to invest.
