Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   Chapter 1931 1933 [Everyone Loves Raymond]

  At the party after the awards ceremony, Xiang Nan accepted everyone's congratulations.

  Best film, best series, two awards in hand, Xiang Nan is truly the biggest winner.

  In addition to greeting everyone, Xiang Nan also finalized two projects.

  One is the episode "Everybody Loves Raymond".

  This drama was recommended to Xiang Nan by David Letterman. He was very optimistic about Ray Romano, a talk show junior. He thought this junior was very talented, so he wanted to make a family comedy centered on him.

  The production of drama series requires investment, so David Letterman found Xiang Nan.

  Xiang Nan laughed when he heard it. The classic degree of "Everybody Loves Raymond" is actually not bad at all compared to "Friends". It has won more Emmy Awards than "Friends".

   It’s just that it is based on the family’s shortcomings, which can be called the American version of "Country Love", especially the hero's parents are as good as monsters, which is not inferior to Liu Neng and Guangkun.

   Unlike "Friends", it was filmed about young people's love, so this drama did not become a big hit in China. But in the United States, the ratings of this show are not weak at all.

  For example, the six leading actors of "Friends" only received one million dollars per episode in the final season. In the same period, Ray Romano's single-episode salary was two million US dollars, which shows how popular he is.

  The second is "Fargo" by the Coen Brothers. It tells the story of a husband who hires two gangsters to kidnap his wife in order to defraud his father-in-law of funds.

   As a result, the criminals not only kidnapped his wife, but also killed a police officer and two passers-by, which made the case more and more involved...

The Coen Brothers are a well-known brother group in the United States. They are good at filming black comedies, such as "Blood Maze", "No Country for Old Men", "Barton Fink", "Drunken Country Ballad", "Murder Lebowski" and so on. masterpiece.

  Their films have won many awards such as Cannes Film Festival, Berlin Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, American Golden Globe Awards, Oscar Awards, etc., and their reputation can be said to be quite good.

  Xiang Nan has never seen the movie "Fargo", but he knew it must be a good movie just by listening to the Coen Brothers, so he decided to invest.

  …

  After the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Xiang Nan also began to make a filming plan for the new year.

  "Dumb and Dumber", "Bridges of Madison County", "FireWire", "Pokemon", "Jurassic Park 2" and "Stargate", a total of five projects.

   "The Bridge of Madison County" is a romance film directed by Clint Eastwood and starring with Meryl Streep. It tells the story of a photographer who meets a housewife, and after a short time together, they develop strong feelings.

  In the end, the heroine chose to break up with the photographer for the sake of her family. But her love for him lasted her whole life...

   This movie is adapted from the novel of the same name published in 1992. As soon as the novel was released, Xiang Nan bought the film and television adaptation rights.

   "The Wire" tells the story of two robbers and the police fighting wits and courage, and is known as a classic of American gangster crime films.

  Especially the original two starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro's crazy drama, which makes this movie full of fun.

   "Jurassic Park 2 The Lost World" also tells the story of dinosaurs. According to the difficulty of its shooting, it is just right to start production now, and it will be released in two years.

  "Ghost Horse Elf" tells the story of a little human girl and her father who were ordered to come to the manor to catch her, but ended up making friends with a kind and lovely elf.

   "Stargate" tells the story of the United States discovering an ancient star gate. Through the star gate, the expedition team came to an alien planet and finally discovered the secrets of ancient humans...

   "Stargate" is a very classic sci-fi film. It makes bold assumptions about the birth of the pyramids, ancient aliens, etc., which is still very innovative.

  It's a pity. This movie was shot in 1994, when there were so many good movies, so the box office was very average, and it didn't get any awards. It's a pity.

   Fortunately, the production company didn't waste this idea, and after that, they filmed many TV series one after another, which became the hit of science fiction American TV series.

   "Dumb and Dumber", Xiang Nan prepares to also star Jim Carrey and Jeff Dennis, with Claudia Schiffer playing the heroine.

  For "Heart", Xiang Nan hopes that the lineup will remain unchanged. After all, Hollywood actors who can replace Al Pacino and Robert De Niro may not have been born yet.

   "Ghost Horse Fairy", Xiang Nan is going to invite Natalie Portman and Pierce Brosnan to shoot. Pierce Brosnan has just finished filming "007: GoldenEye", and now is the time when his popularity is high, so it's not for nothing.

   "The Bridge of Madison County", Xiang Nan plans to invite Kevin Costner and Michelle Pfeiffer to co-star, so as to save Kevin Costner from filming the unlucky "Future Water World".

  He has already received wind that Warner Pictures intends to ask him to make this movie. But Xiang Nan hoped that he could stop him. After all, he and Kevin had worked together for several years, and they had a deep friendship with each other.

  As for Xiang Nan himself, he is preparing to shoot "Mission: Impossible 2".

  At this time, two years have passed since the first part of "Mission: Impossible", and it is time to restart this project.

  …

  In February, the film released by Universal Pictures is Richard Linklater's "Before the Dawn" directed by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.

  This is a very romantic love story. It tells the story of the hero Jesse who met the heroine Serena when he was traveling in Europe.

   This is a very romantic movie. The hero and heroine meet by chance and fall in love at first sight. Although they only chat and hang out when they get along, the topics are very rich.

  From parents to ex-boyfriend (female) friend, from work to music, from life to death... The more they chat, the more speculative they are, and the two hearts are getting closer.

  Although there is no substantive relationship, but the more so, the more valuable it is. After all, love like Plato is more romantic and touching.

  Just like Joe Brad and Princess Anne in "Roman Holiday", because of the restraint of the two, it seems that this love is more precious.

   Therefore, "Love Before Dawn" won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival held on February 9th, which shows that the quality of this film is still very high.

   But it's a pity, although the media gave this movie a very high evaluation, praising it as the best love movie in movie history. But in the end, its box office was only 5.3 million US dollars, which was far worse than Universal Pictures' expectations for it, which is really regrettable.

   Later, however, its video sales exceeded two million copies, so it was considered a blockbuster.
