Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   Chapter 1924 1926 [Jennifer Aniston]

  The other is Martin Scorsese's new work "Casino".

  In view of the fact that they had a great time working together on "Goodfellas", Martin Scorsese is naturally willing to work with Xiang Nan again.

   This "Casino" tells a past event in Las Vegas in the 1970s.

  Similar to the plot of "Goodfellas", it is nothing more than a story of good brothers who once shared weal and woe, parted ways because of interests, and turned against each other.

  Martin Scorsese has long been familiar with shooting such movies.

  Xiang Nan agreed to invest in him, and recommended him to use Sophie Marceau as the heroine.

  …

  After the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Xiang Nan also started a new filming project.

  In the new year, Universal Pictures will make big moves. His films include "A Little Devil", "The Seven Deadly Sins", "12 Monkeys", "The Usual Suspects", "Aeroplane 2" and so on.

In fact, he still has a lot of scripts in his hand, such as "Ghost in Masquerade", "Interview with the Vampire", "Stargate", "Dumb and Dumber", "Bridges of Madison County", "Heart", "Apollo Ten No. 3", "Ghost Horse Elf" and so on.

  These movies are all well-received and well-received masterpieces, but Xiang Nan is not prepared to shoot them all in one go. Because the market's ability to bear is limited, the result of the release of good films together is that some good films are reduced to cannon fodder.

It seems that 1994 was a year with frequent releases of excellent films, with countless excellent films, such as "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Evil and Poison", "To Live", "Eating and Drinking Men and Women" , "The Lion King", "This Killer Is Not So Cold" and so on.

   Therefore, a large number of good movies have also been buried, and their value has not been noticed by the public. So Xiang Nan plans to release these films slowly.

  …

  "Seven Deadly Sins", Xiang Nan plans to arrange Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman. As for the villain, he does not plan to use Kevin Spacey, but plans to use Alan Rickman, that is, Sirius in the "Harry Potter" series. Xiang Nan has worked with him in "Die Hard" before, and he is still very optimistic about his acting skills.

  The starring role of "Twelve Monkeys" is still Bruce Willis, the heroine is Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the supporting actor is changed from Brad Pitt to Leonardo. Xiao Lizi is still on the rise, it is good for him to play more roles of this kind.

   As the protagonist of "The Usual Suspects", Xiang Nan still doesn't plan to use Kevin Spacey, he plans to use Nicolas Cage. He believes that Cage's acting skills will definitely help him complete this role.

   "Plane Detective 2", the starring role is naturally Jim Carrey, but the heroine is no longer Courtney Cox. Xiang Nan is going to use Halle Berry. Because the film is set in Africa, it is normal to have an African-American heroine.

  As for Xiang Nan himself, he is preparing to start filming "Prison in the Air".

  "Prison in the Sky" tells the story of the hero who accidentally killed a gangster in order to protect his wife and was thrown into prison. After a long wait of several years, he was finally released on parole for good behavior and was ready to go home on a prisoner plane.

   Unexpectedly, the plane was hijacked by a group of felons and was about to flee abroad. At a critical juncture, the hero is alone, and can only fight wits and courage with them...

   It was originally an action blockbuster starring Nicolas Cage. After it was released in 1996, it caused a sensation and won a global box office of 230 million US dollars. It can be said to be quite a blockbuster.

  Xiang Nan immediately began to prepare.

  …

   At the same time, in January, Universal Pictures released "The Burning Years" jointly performed by Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt and Winona Ryder.

   Once the film was released, it immediately caused a strong sensation.

  Because it tells the story of the American Midwest, and the protagonist played by Brad Pitt is free-spirited, unrestrained, wild, and full of charm, which is very appealing to white American audiences.

   Therefore, its box office is very good. The North American box office is 66 million US dollars, and the global box office is as high as 120 million US dollars. Compared with the investment of 30 million US dollars, it can be said to be a great success.

  The success of this movie has also made Brad Pitt an idol in the hearts of countless teenagers, and thus he has steadily entered the list of first-line superstars. He has the strength to single-handedly carry the box office, which is really worthy of congratulations.

  In February, Sexy Deals, starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bruce Willis and Sean Connery, launched.

   This movie tells the story of a couple who are facing financial crisis and are forced to make a deal with a rich man. The wife will spend one night with him in exchange for a million dollar reward.

   As a result, the rich man fell in love with the heroine this night, and kept pursuing her. And the husband and wife also have a estrangement because of this transaction...

   This is a movie with a bold theme, so after it was released, it caused quite a bit of controversy.

  Many couples or lovers start to discuss, when faced with the same choice, what choice will they make? Do you choose true love first, or long live money?

The critics criticized this movie, thinking that it promotes the concept of money supremacy, which is really against morality and tradition, and thinks that this movie is completely a bad movie. It should be awarded.

   Sometimes, controversy is not a bad thing.

  In fact, because of the controversy, the popularity of this movie has gradually increased, and with it, the box office data has been rising steadily.

  In the end, this "Pleasant Deal" won a box office of 106 million US dollars in North America, and 260 million US dollars in the global box office. It can be said to be a great success.

   And Catherine Zeta-Jones also became popular with her breakthrough performance in this film, becoming one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood today.

  …

   In March, it's time for the Oscars again.

  Xiang Nan has basically no expectations for this year's Oscars ceremony.

   After all, their opponent is "Schindler's List". This is a work of celebrity film history. Compared with this work, other works seem too naive.

   So he wasn't going to win the prize. But even so, he had to go to join in.

   This time on the red carpet, Xiang Nan walked with Jennifer Aniston. Because he is going to invite Jennifer Aniston as the heroine of the new film.

   This is naturally good news for Jennifer. Because although she made her debut in the late 1980s, she had very few opportunities to appear in movies.

   Especially to cooperate with Xiang Nan this time, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her, of course she must seize it.

   "Charles, thank you for inviting me." She said gratefully.

   "You're welcome, I invited you because you are outstanding." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
