1844 [Marriage reminder]

After hearing about Xiang Nan's unintentional success story, Hollywood couldn't help but envy Xiang Nan's good luck.

They wanted to make a blockbuster movie so hard that their hair almost fell out.

Xiang Nan just walked around and invested some money, and he made a hit movie. The global box office was 360 million US dollars, which is like a myth.

"How he did it is incredible!"

"His luck is too good. It's lower than the chance of winning the lottery."

"I originally thought he was just relying on luck, but now it seems that luck is also part of his strength."

Everyone sighed with emotion.

Only Nicole Kidman mysteriously said to Xiang Nan, "Charles, I know, you must have feelings again, right?"

Before, Xiang Nan had told her that he had some sense of knowing which movie might be a hit and which star might become popular. She was still a little skeptical at first, but now she really believes it.

Because the facts are right in front of us. Otherwise, how can we explain the success of "Crocodile Dundee"?! Even she didn't believe that a wild film produced in Australia could achieve such a high box office miracle.

Xiang Nan smiled and said with a secrecy on his face, "Don't tell anyone about this."

"I know, this is our little secret." Nicole blinked, smiled and nodded, "Well, Charles, what do you think of my future stardom?"

"It must be a big hit and one of the first in Hollywood." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "You don't have to doubt this at all."

"Really?! That's great." When Nicole heard this, she laughed happily.

"However, don't tell anyone. We in China are very particular about this kind of good luck. It won't work if we talk about it." Xiang Nan reminded, "It is said that if other evil spirits know about it, it will interfere with your luck."

"I understand, I understand." Nicole nodded immediately.



In February, "Red Sorghum" invested and produced by Xiang Nan once again went to the Berlin Film Festival to compete for the Golden Bear Award.

Xiang Nan couldn't leave because the movie "Ghostbusters 2" was being finalized at a critical moment, so he could only send his blessings from a distance across the sea.

In fact, Xiang Nan didn't do anything except give blessings. He also prevented Carole Bugey and Giuseppe Tornatore from participating.

"Fallen Angels" starring Carole Bugey and "Cinema Paradiso" directed by Giuseppe Tornatore have both been completed and were originally going to compete for the Golden Bear.

However, Xiang Nan knew that the quality of these two films was a bit high, and he was afraid that "Red Sorghum" directed by Zhang Yimou would be affected, so he urged them to stop participating.

Fortunately, they all owed Xiang Nan a favor, so they all agreed to his request. However, Xiang Nan also owed a new favor, which he would have to repay in the future.

Because of the two major rivals, "Red Sorghum" successfully won the Golden Bear Award.

Although Cong Shan did not win the Best Actress Award again, she was qualified as a finalist, which is considered good.



At the end of February, "Ghostbusters 2" was finished filming, and the Berlin Film Festival just ended, so Xiang Nan asked Cong Shan to come to the United States to play.

"Ning Wei, it's because of you that I almost won the Best Actress Award at the Berlin Film Festival." Cong Shan said with a smile.

"You're welcome. You're mine, and I'm yours. We don't care about each other." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Then when are we going to get married? My parents are starting to urge me." Cong Shan asked again.

Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Why, are you so impatient that you want to marry me and give me a son?"

"Hate, who's in a hurry!" Cong Shan said shyly after hearing this.

"I don't think it's urgent to get married. Now is the period when your career is on the rise. It's easy for you to achieve your current results. Once you get married, you have to return to your family, and your fame and status will be gone.

All the suffering is in vain." Xiang Nan then advised, "

Do you still remember when you were filming "The Wrangler", you went to the horse farm to experience life, and after taking off the bricks for a month, your fingernails were split? Do you still remember when filming "Old Well", you went to the countryside to experience life, and your hands were cut while cutting wheat.

Already?

Shanshan, everything you have now was obtained with your hard work, I really can't bear it, you give it up so easily."

Hearing what he said, Cong Shan blinked and felt that it made sense.

"We are still very young now. I am only twenty-seven and you are only twenty-four. Why are you so anxious?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Listen to me and wait for two more years. When our careers are stable, then

, I will definitely marry you with all my glory."

Hearing what he said, Cong Shan nodded.

She believes that Xiang Nan will not lie to her. Over the years, Xiang Nan has been very good to her. He helped her review in high school, helped her make up classes in college, and helped her in filming after graduation...

She was just twenty-three years old and was already the Queen of the Berlin Film Festival. Not to mention her classmates, even her seniors in the industry could not compare with her.

Xiang Nan was so kind to her, so naturally she didn't believe that Xiang Nan would lie to her.



Xiang Nan had a good time with Cong Shan in the United States, and did not send her back until March.

Before leaving, Xiang Nan handed the script of "Ju Dou" to Cong Shan and asked her to take it back to Zhang Yimou.

If he thinks it's suitable, then prepare to start shooting. If he thinks it's not suitable, we'll talk about other things later.

In addition to the "Ju Dou" project, Xiang Nan also restarted the "Police Academy" series.

The first part of this series sold well at the box office, and a sequel should have been planned as soon as possible. However, after the movie became popular, the leading actor immediately took on a lot of movies, leaving him without a schedule for two years in a row.

Fortunately, all his movies were lost, and now he has become a second- and third-tier actor, so he decided to restart the "Police Academy" series so that he could become popular again.

Therefore, Xiang Nan also took advantage of him this time and asked him to sign an agreement, stipulating that the subsequent schedules must be given priority to the "Police Academy" series. Otherwise, he would have to pay high losses.

The male lead, Steve Gartenberg, had no choice but to sign the agreement first. Otherwise, Xiang Nan would consider changing the male lead in "Police Academy 2" this time.

And when he lost this project, he also lost the opportunity to make a comeback. Since then, he has been on the road to becoming a has-been star.



"Police Academy 2" began filming immediately. Xiang Nan also took out three other projects: "Witches of East Town", "Emergency Stalking Order", and "The Secret of My Success".

"Witches of Easttown" tells the story of three beauties using witchcraft to find true love. It is a fantasy and suspenseful romance film.

This movie was not only a box office success, but a few years later, it was adapted into an American TV series. This shows that the IP value is still very high.

"Emergency Stalking Order" tells the story of two police officers who were ordered to track the girlfriend of an escaped prisoner, but accidentally fell in love with her.

This movie is a comedy with an interesting plot, so it did well at the box office.

"The Secret of My Success" tells the story of an office boy who pretends to be a senior executive and gives orders, and finally succeeds in becoming rich and beautiful, and reaches the pinnacle of his life.
