The movie released in July is "Lethal Weapon 3" starring Xiang Nan, Daniel Groff and Halle Berry.

This is the final chapter of the "Lethal Weapon" series, telling the story of Martin and Roger being involved in an arms theft case, and thus fighting a criminal group led by corrupt Sheriff Jack Teves.

Because the enemy comes from within and is their immediate boss, Martin and Rogge face greater crises and more dangers, and have narrowly escaped death several times. But precisely because of this, the joy of victory is particularly sweet.

Moreover, Halle Berry's role in this film has also been greatly increased. In the first two films, she only appeared as a supporting role, and her role was not important.

In this film, she was promoted to the lead female role. While her role increased greatly, her relationship with Xiang Nan also progressed. The end of the film is her wedding ceremony with Xiang Nan, which can be regarded as the final chapter of this series of films. A perfect ending.

"Lethal Weapon 3" became a hit at the box office after its release, with a box office of US$180 million in North America and US$420 million worldwide, once again proving Xiang Nan's box office appeal.

With this film, Halle Berry once again took the crown of the most box-office-charging African-American actress from Whoopi Goldberg.

In August, the movie released by Universal Pictures was "Jumping Hill" starring Sylvester Stallone.

Entering the 1990s, Stallone's stardom was in decline.

The movies he stars in rarely rank among the top ten in the annual box office rankings.

In 1990, his most popular work "Rocky V" had a North American box office of only 40 million U.S. dollars; in 1991, he starred in "Finger Dragon", which cost 35 million U.S. dollars and the North American box office was only 2,000 U.S. dollars. Eight million U.S. dollars; in 1992, he starred in "Mother and Son", which cost 40 million U.S. dollars. The North American box office was only 28 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was only over 70 million U.S. dollars...

Moreover, "Mother and Son" was shortlisted for several Golden Raspberry Awards including Best Picture and Best Screenplay, which shows that Stallone has lost the favor of the audience.

This is partly because his acting routine remains the same all year round, leaving the audience with a lack of freshness.

When Arnold Schwarzenegger started filming movies such as "Mouse and Dragons" and "Kindergarten Cop" and tried to blend action and comedy, Stallone was still repeating his previous acting routine, continuing to play the unsmiling and perseverant character. Tough guy. The audience has been watching it for more than ten years, so they will naturally feel bored.

On the one hand, it’s also because the newcomers are all fierce. Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson, and Kevin Costner all performed fiercely, and all of them took the tough guy route, so it’s better to separate them. A big piece of cake.

Therefore, "The End of the World" is his turnaround. If this movie succeeds at the box office, it will continue his good fortune for several years. On the contrary, he may never receive a big production again and will gradually become a second-rate actor. Third-tier movie star.

Therefore, Stallone attaches great importance to this movie and has been promoting it everywhere since June, trying to gain as much attention as possible for this movie.

"The Greatest Adventure" tells the story of a group of gangsters who hijacked a plane transporting a huge amount of money and made an emergency landing on a snow-capped mountain. The rescue team members who went to rescue the plane were taken hostage by them.

At the critical moment, the male protagonist played by Stallone stepped forward and went to the snowy mountains to rescue. In the end, he not only eliminated the gangsters, but also rescued all his teammates.

The filming location of "The Mountain" is located in the Veneto region of Italy. It was actually filmed on a snow-capped mountain, so the filming process was very difficult.

During this period, as many as 100 staff members were injured due to frostbite and falls. Even Stallone almost fell off a snow cliff, which can be said to be quite thrilling.

But Stallone regarded this movie as his own turnaround, so he was naturally willing to take risks. No matter how difficult it was, he never flinched, and he was very much in the spirit of Rocky.

And the hard work paid off. After the movie was released, the audience's evaluation was still very good.

One is shot in the snow-capped mountains, making the picture very spectacular, magnificent, shocking, and refreshing; the second story is also very thrilling, with climaxes one after another.

Therefore, in the end, the film earned a box office of 84 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office reached 250 million U.S. dollars. The success of this film also allowed Stallone to make a comeback again, consolidating his status as a first-line Hollywood superstar.

It's really not easy.

In September, the science fiction action film "RoboCop 3" starring Bruce Willis was released. This film is also the final chapter of "RoboCop".

The story routine is basically the same, telling the story of RoboCop Murphy punishing rapists, eradicating evil, and fighting criminals. However, due to the development of special effects technology in recent years, the visual effects of "RoboCop" have been improved a lot.

In addition, because the first two films made money, Universal Pictures invested more in it, making its action scenes bigger and the visual effects more shocking.

Therefore, the box office performance is pretty good, with more than 40 million US dollars in North America and 130 million US dollars in global box office, which is considered a relatively successful hit.

The success of this movie can be regarded as a perfect ending to the "RoboCop" series.

In September, the new season of "Friends" officially launched.

When this drama was aired last year, its ratings were very good, ranking first in its time slot, with an average viewership of over 19 million people.

After the launch of the second season this year, the ratings continued to be booming, still ranking first in the same period, and the ratings also increased slightly, reaching around 23 million.

Such ratings are pretty good.

In comparison, "The X-Files", another drama invested and produced by Xiang Nan, had a viewership rating of just close to 10 million people after it was aired.

Such data makes Fox TV station a little dissatisfied.

They originally bought this TV series because of Xiang Nan's reputation, hoping to get a big hit like "Baywatch" and "Friends".

Unexpectedly, the ratings were so low that Fox TV station once called for the show to be canceled.

Xiang Nan naturally also knows that the ratings of the first two seasons of "The

This affects offline ratings.

Therefore, Xiang Nan immediately ordered the distribution department to increase online marketing efforts for this series.

Prior to this, although the Internet had been born for several years, it had never received people's attention.

People once even thought that the Internet, like video recorders, tape recorders, and CD players, were products that would be eliminated within a few years of their birth.
