Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 2054 2056【Good memory】

  In April, Xiang Nan started filming "Fast and Furious 6", continuing to tell the story of Boss Tang.

  In addition to the return of the original cast, a computer wizard is also added in this film. The sky eye designed by her can link and control all cameras in the world, and can easily find anyone who is looking for.

   Of course, this is pure nonsense.

  Xiang Nan chose Wang Keying to play this role. The shock wave she played in the American drama "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is a computer expert.

   "Fast and Furious 6" then started filming.

  However, not long after the movie started, Xiang Nan received bad news. His mother, Qi Aihong, was hospitalized for a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

  After Xiang Nan received the news, he could only let the crew shoot other people's scenes first, and then rushed back to the mainland with Cong Shan and Tranquility.

  Although the doctors had tried their best to rescue her, Qi Aihong couldn't save her after all, and her sudden death made people feel heartbroken.

   For this reason, after Xiang Nan finished taking care of his mother's funeral, he specially stayed with his father at home for half a month to help him feel relieved.

  In May, Xiang Nan returned to the film crew to continue filming.

  …

  In May, Universal Pictures released the movie "The Big Short".

The film is joined by several stars such as Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Margot Robbie, Karen Gillan, etc. It can be said that the lineup is quite good. luxury.

   It tells the story of four men with weird personalities who seize the opportunity to make a fortune during the subprime mortgage crisis. It reveals the reasons for the birth of the subprime mortgage crisis, uncovers the true face of Wall Street's cruelty and greed, and also warns and warns the world.

  The subprime mortgage crisis broke out from 2007 to 2009. Although five years have passed, the U.S. economy has not yet fully recovered, and the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis is still there.

   Especially those who lost a lot in the subprime mortgage crisis, lost their houses, cars, jobs and even their families, and still haven't been able to return to normal life.

   Therefore, once this "Big Short" was released, it immediately caused a sensation. In the end, the North American box office was 50 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 140 million U.S. dollars.

   In good conscience, such a box office is not good. In normal times, I'm afraid they won't even be able to earn back the salaries of these stars. But Universal still made money.

  Because at the beginning of filming, with such a gorgeous star lineup, sensitive subject matter, and a strong production team behind the scenes, the film has already received a large amount of commercial sponsorship, covering the cost of the film.

  So although the box office of 140 million US dollars is not much, for Universal Pictures, it is basically a pure profit.

   What's more, this kind of movies have always sold well on DVD. Because this kind of in-depth movie is worthy of repeated aftertaste and chewing, it is not enough to watch it once.

  …

  In June, Universal Pictures released "Iron Man 2", which tells the love and hatred between Iron Man and Whiplash. In addition, another important hero in the Avengers, Iron Man's partner War Machine also officially debuted.

   "Iron Man 2" In good conscience, the story is a bit clichéd.

  In Hollywood movies, a hero is often born, and immediately there will be an evil routine with the same configuration and similar strength as him.

  For example, there is venom in "Spider-Man", because he once possessed Spider-Man, so his abilities are all copied from Spider-Man, and his strength has been strengthened;

   In "Captain America", there is Red Skull, also injected with super soldier serum, which stimulates the evil in his body and becomes more cold and ruthless;

   There is abomination in "Hulk", also injected with super soldier serum variants, and received gamma radiation, becoming more ferocious and powerful than Hulk...

  So in "Iron Man 2", a villain who is as smart as Iron Man and has the same ark manufacturing technology is actually really clichéd, not as amazing as the first "Iron Man".

   It’s just that the Marvel Universe movies don’t rely on the story to win. The story is just one aspect. More audiences watch it just for fun.

  As long as the special effects are enough, the scenes are enough, the climax is enough, and the story is smoother, but not too stupid, it is already worth the fare. Therefore, "Iron Man 2" finally invested 200 million U.S. dollars and earned 620 million U.S. dollars at the box office.

  Combining the cost of DVD, network streaming media, peripheral product development, and advertising sponsorship, Universal Pictures will earn hundreds of millions of dollars, at least.

  The box office hit of "Iron Man 2" also made the Black Widow played by Gal Gadot win the hearts of countless fans, and she became an instant hit.

  …

   In July, "Mission: Impossible 6" was released, which continued to tell the story of Ethan Hunt's grievances and grievances with the rebel organization Syndicate.

  This time he not only has to deal with external enemies, but also uncovers traitors within the organization, so the situation is more dangerous and the difficulty is exponentially increased, so the plot is more twists and turns, the rhythm is tighter, and the story is naturally more exciting.

   Moreover, during filming, in order to try to be true, Xiang Nan flew a helicopter and parachuted at a height of 1,000 meters in person. Such dedication moved the fans, so he was naturally very popular.

   "Charles, when you were filming "Mission Impossible 6", did you really learn how to fly a helicopter in order to make the film more realistic?" Jimmy Fallon asked curiously.

  Jimmy Fallon, also known as Fat Lun, is the host of The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon. He was born as a comedian of "Saturday Night Live", which also created his witty, humorous, and cheerful hosting style, which is very popular with the audience.

  In order to promote "Mission Impossible 6", Xiang Nan asked for leave from the crew of "Fast and Furious 6" for half a month of promotion. Going on a talk show is a good way of publicity.

  Hearing Jimmy Fallon's question, Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.

   There was a burst of applause from the audience.

   Learning to fly a helicopter just to make a movie is really amazing.

"I read the information, you got your helicopter pilot's license after a week of study?" Jimmy Fallon continued, "As far as I know, it takes at least eight months for the average person to learn to pilot a helicopter. "

  Xiang Nan nodded again.

  There was an exclamation from the audience.

   "How did you do it, you have learned helicopters before?" Jimmy asked puzzled.

  Xiang Nan shook his head, "No, it's my first time learning."

   "Then how did you learn so quickly? It's unbelievable." Jimmy asked in surprise.

   "Probably because I have a better memory, so my ability to study is stronger." Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Your memory is good? How good is it?" Jimmy asked curiously.

   "I can remember the license plate numbers of up to twenty cars at a glance." Xiang Nan said, "And I won't forget them within a day or two."

   "Like Jason Bourne in "The Bourne Shadow"?" Jimmy Fallon said immediately.

   "Almost." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
