1910 [Friends]

Xiang Nan once again finalized two projects at the Golden Globe Awards party.

One is the TV series "Friends from the Opposite Door".

It was conceived by screenwriters David Crane and Marta Kaufman, who then pitched the idea to producers Noelle Brett and Adam Seth.

Then sell this idea to other production companies.

However, those production companies thought that such a series would not be popular, so they were rejected many times. Therefore, Noelle Brett and Adam Seth found Xiang Nan.

If even Xiang Nan is not optimistic about this idea, then they will officially give up. Anyway, they have to sign up for many similar ideas a year, so failure is normal. On the contrary, it is rare for it to be filmed.

After Xiang Nan heard the idea, he immediately recognized this series as the American TV series "Friends" that would later become a hit, so he immediately decided to produce this series.

He is a loyal fan of this show. He has watched every episode and he knows the plot of every episode. In fact, if they hadn't come to him, Xiang Nan would have filmed it himself.

Anyway, in addition to movies, Universal Pictures also participates in the production of TV series. The benefits brought by a popular TV series are no less than the profits of a movie.

If it is a hit like "Friends", it can be sold for a sky-high price. According to reports, although it has been more than ten years since the show ended, it still earns Warner Bros. a billion dollars in profits every year, with only six starring actors.

You can get a share of 20 million US dollars every year.



The other one is Stallone's new film "The Last Stand."

The 1990s were not a friendly period for Stallone. His starring roles in "Mother and Son" and "Flicker" were not satisfactory at the box office.

Coupled with the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson and other action stars have not yet succeeded, Stallone is already facing a big crisis. It is so difficult to find investors for his new film.

.

However, Xiang Nan believed that Stallone had not given up so early, so he extended a helping hand to him. He promised to invest 20 million US dollars in Stallone.

This moved Stallone very much. Although they have always been competitors, it is obvious that Xiang Nan is much more generous than he thought.



After the Golden Globe Awards, Xiang Nan announced a new filming plan.

One is "Groundhog Day", which tells the story of a man who is full of pessimism and dissatisfaction about life and suddenly finds himself trapped on the same day.

After trying to escape to no avail, he began to try countless kinds of life, and finally chose to be dedicated to good deeds and start a new life, so that he could live a good life even for one day. Therefore, his time dilemma was finally relieved.

This is a fable-like movie, similar to movies such as "The Impostor" and "Remote Control". They all want to tell people a truth. That is, no matter how bad life is, you must always live it seriously and happily.

Just like the well-known American proverb, God gives you a lemon, you turn it into delicious lemon juice.

One is "The Fugitive". This film tells the story of a doctor who was wrongly accused of killing his wife. While on the run, he tried every means to clear his name.

The original version of this movie starred Harrison Ford and was introduced to the Mainland in 1994. It was also the first American blockbuster introduced in the Mainland in the form of split credits.

One is "Gannet Assassination Order".

It tells the story of two top officials who were killed one after another. Debbie, a top student in the academy, discovered the conspiracy and prepared to hand it over to her boss, but was assassinated. In the end, under the protection of the male protagonist, they found the key evidence and...

Make the truth known to the public.

This is also an action movie, but there are not many thrilling action scenes. Instead, there are thrilling dramas. Just like the high-level game in "The Assassination of JFK", there is no blood at all, but it is more cruel.

One is "Slim Daddy".

It tells the story of a middle-aged divorced man who, in order to get close to his daughter, chose to disguise himself as a woman, sneak into his ex-wife's house, and finally reunite with his wife and daughter.

This movie starred Robin Williams and was a huge success after its release, so the Hong Kong movie "Big Rich" almost copied this story.

Another one is "RoboCop 3".

The first two movies of this movie did well at the box office and received good reviews. Xiang Nan is planning to film a final chapter and then officially end the movie.

After all, Bruce Willis is not very popular right now. If he doesn't film it, I'm afraid he won't even be able to pay his salary.



"Groundhog Day", Xiang Nan is planning to invite Nicolas Cage and Brooke Shields to star.

On the one hand, his salary is reasonable. Although he is now a top-tier actor, his salary is still only two million US dollars. This is inseparable from his preference to make niche literary films.

On the one hand, his acting skills are also very good. He can play both a down-and-out man full of complaints and a charming artistic man. Xiang Nan has confidence in him.

The original version of "The Fugitive" starred Harrison Ford, but in this version, Xiang Nan is planning to invite Mel Gibson to star.

On the one hand, there is a big difference in their salary. Harrison Ford's salary is almost 10 million US dollars, while Mel Gibson's salary is only 3 million.

On the one hand, with Mel Gibson's acting skills, playing such an avenger is easy and not too strenuous.

Xiang Nan is planning to invite Nicole Kidman and Tom Hanks to star in "Grannet". As for "My Fair Daddy", Robin Williams will still star.

Xiang Nan himself is also preparing to shoot "Lethal Weapon 3" to give the movie a final chapter. In this way, it can also be regarded as an explanation to the fans.



In January, the hilarious "Old Man" starring Mike Myers was released.

This movie is a funny comedy film invested by Xiang Nan last year.

Mike Myers was once a pillar of the most famous variety show "Saturday Night Live" in the United States. His status was similar to that of a sketch actor in the Spring Festival Gala, and he was considered a national comedian.

"The Stars" is a script he wrote based on his popular character Wayne on "Saturday Night Live."

Just like the Hui brothers' famous work "Double Star", it is also based on their popular variety show "Double Star Announcement".

Similar to "Double Stars", the script of "Double Stars" is also a bit loose. It is all put together by some funny jokes. The connection between them is not close. There are good sentences but no good chapters, but it is used

It's enough to be funny and amusing.

In addition, Mike Myers is also considered a national comedian after all, so after the release of "Inside Out", the box office performance was not bad. In the end, it took in a box office of 120 million US dollars in North America, which really scared people in the industry.
Chapter completed!
