Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   Chapter 1929 1931 [Claudia Schiffer]

   Entering 1995, in January, Universal Pictures launched the movie "Little Devil on the Street".

   It tells the story of a baby who was kidnapped by bad guys, not only escaped from the tiger's mouth by accident, but also tossed the three bad guys into a mess, covered in bruises. It can be said that the level of hilarity is definitely not worse than "Home Alone".

   Sure enough, after the movie was released, there was a lot of laughter in the theater, and the audience was amused to roar with laughter from ear to ear. And everyone also felt that the baby was very cute, no worse than Macaulay Culkin in "Home Alone", so they bought it one after another.

  In the end, "A Little Ghost on the Street" was a huge success with a North American box office of 180 million US dollars and a global box office of nearly 400 million US dollars.

  In comparison, Macaulay Culkin's "Little Rich Rich", which was released on Christmas, had a box office of less than 30 million US dollars. However, the production cost of this film was as high as 50 million US dollars, and Macaulay's salary alone was as high as 8 million US dollars.

  In comparison, the total cost of "A Little Ghost on the Street" was only 15 million US dollars. So in this battle, Macaulay Culkin obviously lost.

Moreover, in view of the fact that his other two films released in 1994, "Little Ghost's Move" and "The Great Sage of Time and Space" were not good at the box office and word of mouth, so the outside world is lamenting that the glory of this former golden boy has gradually dimmed. .

   Actually, he can't be blamed for this.

After McCauley became famous with "Home Alone" in 1990, his parents began to regard him as a cash cow. They not only opened their mouths to the movie company Lion, demanding high remuneration, but also filed a divorce lawsuit, wanting to monopolize McCaw profits.

  As a result, the lawsuit has been fought for several years, and the rumors were exchanged, which not only hurt Macaulay's feelings, but also damaged his image.

  Combined with his parents acting as his agent, the family workshop-style operation, mercenary, short-sighted, unable to provide Macaulay with the best career planning, resulting in his acting path becoming narrower and narrower.

   You must know that Macaulay Culkin was already fourteen years old in 1994. After the second development, his face tended to be mature. Compared with a few years ago, his cuteness has declined.

  Besides, his age is between a teenager and an adult, so it is actually a bit against the law to play a naughty child like before. But his parents still let him continue to play the role of a child, showing off his cuteness and wit on the screen, which is no longer very popular with the audience.

   Regarding this, Xiang Nan could only sigh.

  Actually, no matter which region a child star is, no matter how popular they were back then, they will face the reality that they will no longer be popular when they grow up.

  It’s okay for child stars in the mainland, after all, the social environment is good. Even if it doesn't develop after growing up, the result won't be too bad, at most it's just not popular.

  The general environment like Hollywood is too bad, and child stars are easy to fall. Smoking, drinking, smoking... people will soon be useless.

For example, Edward Furlong who played the young O'Connor in "Terminator 2", River Phoenix who played the young Indiana in "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3", Drew Barrymore in "ET", Drew Barrymore in "Natural Couple" Lindsay Lohan of…

  …

  In January, Xiang Nan made an appointment with Claudia Schiffer.

Claudia Schiffer was born in 1970 and became a model at the age of 17. After that, she quickly became popular with her exquisite facial features and proud figure, and won the favor of Chanel Lafayette Karl Lagerfeld. His royal model.

This move made Claudia Schiffer more famous. After two years of debut, she was listed among the top five supermodels with Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell. She was also named the most beautiful in the world by People magazine. one of fifty.

  In addition to being famous, Claudia Schiffer has a strong ability to absorb money, earning more than eight million dollars a year, and is one of the highest-paid models.

   Moreover, her business is not only model catwalks and endorsements, but also has developed into the film and television industry in recent years.

   In "Little Rich Rich" starring Macaulay Culkin, she guest starred as an aerobics teacher. Although the film's box office was not good, Claudia Schiffer's cameo still sparked a wave of topics.

  Xiang Nan noticed her because of this.

   "Hello, Claudia." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.

   "Hi Charles, it's really an honor to meet you." Claudia Schiffer said with some trepidation.

   Although she is one of the top five supermodels, it is just hype. Supermodels like her are actually mass-produced. Well-known designers like Karl Lagerfeld can easily come up with a batch.

  Just like Carl, Xiang Nan is also able to win stars easily.

  Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Connelly, Michelle Pfeiffer... These well-known superstars who are famous all over the world are all made famous by Xiang Nan.

  So in front of Xiang Nan, she naturally kept her posture very low.

   "Don't be nervous, please sit down~" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I invite you to come here today, mainly because there is a play, I want you to act in it. I just don't know, are you interested?"

   "Of course I'm interested." Claudia nodded as soon as she heard it.

  Being a celebrity is better than being a supermodel. Even a second-tier Hollywood movie star is much better than being a model.

   On the one hand, celebrities are more popular. Modeling exposure is limited, and most people won't know a model's first and last name unless they're interested in fashion.

  On the one hand, celebrities earn more. Claudia is considered to be the top model, and her annual income is only about 8 million U.S. dollars. She still has to keep walking shows, taking pictures, and attending various commercial activities every year to earn it.

  In comparison, top Hollywood movie stars earn tens of millions of dollars for a movie. For someone like Xiang Nan who participates in the box office share, it is not uncommon for a film to earn 100 million US dollars, which is as good as she has been doing for ten years.

  Even a second-tier Hollywood movie star earns tens of millions of dollars a year with salary plus advertising endorsements and commercial catwalks.

   It seems that Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn, Charlie Sheen, etc. are all second-tier movie stars. They can star in some medium and low-cost movies, and they can also play major roles in big productions, and they have some popularity and popularity.

   It looks like they earn tens of millions of dollars a year, and all of them live a fairly affluent life.

   "Okay, the name of this play is "Dumb and Dumber", and the story goes like this..." Xiang Nan then briefly explained the story of "Dumb and Dumber".

   This is a comedy starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Dennis. It tells the story of two bad-minded brothers who get involved in a kidnapping case by accident. In the end, relying on the luck of the two against the sky, they successfully saved the day...

  This comedy film is Jim Carrey's representative work. It has earned a box office of 140 million US dollars in North America alone, and a global box office of 240 million US dollars. It is a very successful work.
