Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   Chapter 2004 2006 [Online Video Platform]

  The crew of "Mission: Impossible 4" traveled to India after half a month of filming in Baodao to continue filming.

  During filming in Baodao, the crew encountered many obstacles. In addition to harassment from reporters, there were also obstructions from local gangs who extorted high land fees, otherwise the crew would not be allowed to film.

  The Baodao police are colluding with gangs, and the protection of the crew is also very weak, which affects the daily filming of the crew. Therefore, it was originally planned to shoot for one month, but in the end it was withdrawn after only half a month.

  Before he left, Xiang Nan was interviewed by the media, expressing his disappointment with the vicious local gangs and the incompetent police, and announced that all films under Universal Pictures would never come to Taiwan for filming.

  This move also discredited Baodao and became a big international joke.

   It is worth mentioning that during the filming of Baodao, Xiang Nan also dated Zeng Kaixuan.

   Zeng Kaixuan was born in 1981 and debuted as a model in 2002. Because of his innocent looks and sweet smile, he quickly became popular and shot many commercials and covers.

  Xiang Nan really likes her Rejoice commercial, with fluttering black hair and a sweet smile, she is really a goddess.

  So this time when he came to Baodao to film a movie, Xiang Nan arranged for her to play a small role in the movie, and took advantage of the situation to win her down.

  …

  The crew traveled to India to continue filming.

  Xiang Nan has been widely welcomed in India, and his films are also very popular here. The three most famous movie stars in India, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, are all his fans.

  Aamir Khan also accepted the invitation of the crew to play the role of an Indian telecom tycoon in the film.

  Filming in India is much smoother than shooting in Taiwan.

   There was neither harassment from reporters nor blackmail from gangs, and the Indian government also gave the green light, which provided a lot of convenience for framing and shooting, so the shooting went very smoothly.

During the filming, Xiang Nan also bought the film and television adaptation rights of Indian writer Vikas Swarup's novel "Q&A", and invited Aamir Khan to co-produce this film, which became famous later. International Slumdog Millionaire.

  Aamir Khan was also very interested in this movie and decided to direct it himself. Xiang Nan also invested 5 million US dollars in it. Such a cost is considered a big production in India.

  …

  In October, "Mission: Impossible 4" was announced.

  Xiang Nan went back to Xiangjiang on the way, and took a look at Shanshan.

  She is now busy expanding the territory of ATV, and has set up satellite TV channels in North America and Southeast Asia to serve Chinese audiences there.

   This added millions of viewers to ATV, which is pretty good.

   It's just that with the rise of the Internet, the ratings of TV stations will inevitably be affected. Today, ATV and TVB have lost many viewers.

  Because in order to win young people, ATV and TVB are also trying their best.

"It's better to cooperate with an online platform to broadcast movies and TV shows online and charge by the number of episodes." Xiang Nan suggested to Shanshan, "It happens that I own YouTube, an online video platform, and try to cooperate with it. .”

  When Shanshan heard this, she nodded.

  She also noticed that the Internet has developed very rapidly in recent years. Before, computers were still a rarity, but now computers have become popular in Xiangjiang and become a common household appliance.

  The bandwidth has also expanded a lot. It used to be dozens of kilobytes, but now it’s almost 1 megabyte. This also laid a good hardware foundation for the rise of Internet video platforms.

   ATV has many TV dramas, documentaries, and variety shows, but unfortunately there are not enough platforms to broadcast them. It happened that all of them were uploaded to the Internet, which not only facilitated the audience, but also made effective use of ATV's backlog of resources, which can be said to be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

  …

  Xiang Nan then asked Huang Shengyi to meet again.

  Huang Shengyi was born in 1983, was admitted to Beijing Film Academy in 2001, starred in "Red Apple Paradise" in 2003, and became popular with the mute girl in "Kung Fu" in 2004.

  Xiang Nan knew her because of this movie.

   "Miss Huang, I've watched "Kung Fu" starring you, and it's really good." He smiled and said to Huang Shengyi, "It's very imaginative, very breakthrough and profound."

"Thank you, Mr. Ning." Huang Shengyi laughed quickly, "Mr. Ning, I also like your movies very much. I like "Die Hard", "Lethal Weapon", "Mission: Impossible" and so on. You are really talented~"

   "Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded, "If there is a chance, we can cooperate."

  Huang Shengyi's eyes lit up immediately when he heard it.

  So many top stars in the world are all made famous by Xiang Nan. And although I am now famous because of "Kung Fu", but after "Kung Fu", it has not developed very well.

  So if you want to maintain the popularity, it is a great choice to cooperate with Xiang Nan. Maybe through this cooperation, I can enter Hollywood smoothly, and then I will be developed.

   "Really, Mr. Ning, thank you!" Huang Shengyi said immediately.

"Hey, don't be in a hurry to thank me. Let's take a look first, and then we'll talk." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I praise people not only for their image, but also for their acting skills, but also for their obedience. Your image is good, and your acting skills are also impressive. I just don’t know if I’m willing to listen.”

   "Of course. Mr. Ning, what do you want me to do?" Huang Shengyi said immediately.

  Xiang Nan smiled and waved his hands, "No rush, take your time."

  …

  Xiang Nan stayed in Xiangjiang for half a month, then left Xiangjiang and returned to Hollywood.

   Before parting, he promised Huang Shengyi that he would give her a role in the next movie.

  When Xiang Nan returned to Hollywood, Universal Pictures was releasing King Kong, directed by Peter Jackson and starring Jack Black, Adrien Brody and Naomi Watts.

  The total investment of this movie is 200 million US dollars, which is considered a rare big production in recent years.

   Its plot is basically the same as the 33-year-old version of "King Kong", but the previous "King Kong" was shot with stop-motion animation and models.

  This time "King Kong" is produced by computer special effects, so it is more realistic and vivid, and even the hair on his body is vivid.

  The Weta special effects company under Peter Jackson has accumulated a lot of experience in the production of special effects for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, so it is now fully utilized.

   And after directing the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Peter Jackson also accumulated valuable experience in directing blockbuster films. Therefore, although the story of "King Kong" is old, under the direction of Peter Jackson, the plot is still compact, the story is smooth, and there are many climaxes.

   As a result, this movie achieved very good box office results. In the end, the North American box office was 210 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 550 million U.S. dollars.

  Compared to the cost of 200 million US dollars, there is actually a little loss. But with the sales of DVDs, the development of peripheral products, and the advertising fees collected in advance, the movie must still make money.

  So Xiang Nan wasn't angry at all, but it's a pity that Peter Jackson didn't become the number one director in Hollywood because this movie failed to achieve another box office miracle.
