Xiang Nan stayed in Xiangjiang for half a month, and then brought Cong Shan back to the United States peacefully.

At this time, the action blockbuster "The Fugitive" starring Mel Gibson is now in theaters.

This movie tells the story of a male protagonist who was framed as the murderer of his wife and was forced to flee. During the escape process, he had to evade the police and the killer while trying to find ways to clear his grievances. , bring the real culprit to justice...

The original version of this film starred Harrison Ford, and it was also the first film to enter mainland China in the form of a split account.

Mel Gibson debuted in the 1970s and became famous with "Mad Max".

However, the "Mad Max" series is a film produced in Australia, and the Australian film industry is not very developed and lacks influence around the world. Therefore, Mel Gibson did not officially star in "Ghostbusters 3" until Get a foothold in Hollywood.

After that, he starred in movies such as "One Flew Over the Road", "The Hunt for Red October", "Robin Hood", etc., gradually establishing his image as a tough guy and gradually consolidating his box office appeal.

Therefore, now that he is starring in "The Fugitive", his acting skills, popularity, and box office appeal have all reached a very high level.

Therefore, the box office of "The Fugitive" is quite good, with a box office of US$180 million in North America and a global box office of US$360 million.

Such achievements also made Mel Gibson one of Hollywood's top action stars.

…

In December, Universal Pictures released "The Master 2", which continues to tell the funny story of the big dog Beethoven and Bruno's family.

The movie's predecessor achieved very good results, with a global box office of 140 million US dollars. Compared with the cost of 20 million US dollars, it can be said to be a huge win, so a sequel is naturally on the schedule.

The tone of this movie is funny, warm and romantic, which is very suitable for Christmas movie viewing tastes, so the second part also did well at the box office.

In the end, the box office in North America was US$50 million and the global box office was US$110 million. It continued to be a hit. Because of this, its production company Northern Lights Entertainment immediately began preparations for the third part.

Xiang Nan is also optimistic about the success.

…

In January 1994, the much-loved awards season came again.

However, Xiang Nan doesn't have much hope for this year's awards season.

Because this year's awards season is almost dominated by "Schindler's List", and it is difficult for other movies to compete with it.

It was nominated for almost all awards, including Best Score, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor in a Drama Series, Best Picture in a Drama Series, etc.

In comparison, only "The Fugitive" from Universal Pictures was nominated for several awards including Best Actor in a Drama Series, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.

But it can be foreseen that the probability of winning is very low.

However, in order to cheer up, Xiang Nan still went to the Golden Globe Awards, and the woman by his side was Jennifer Connelly.

She is currently filming "Jurassic Park" with Chris Columbus. This film uses models and digital special effects technology, and to be honest, it is very difficult to shoot.

Although James Cameron's "Terminator 2" uses computer special effects technology to achieve very realistic visual effects, its special effects are basically static, while the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" need to run. .

This difficulty is much greater than that of "Terminator 2", and even James Cameron's team has a headache. Therefore, although the film has been shot for more than half a year, it has not been completed yet.

And its cost has risen to more than 100 million US dollars. If it weren't for Xiang Nan, few companies could afford such a large production.

Xiang Nan brought Jennifer Connelly to the red carpet in the hope of warming up "Jurassic Park" so that it could achieve a good box office in the future.

…

"Charles, you and Jennifer walked the red carpet together. Do you have a new cooperation plan?" The host asked curiously when he saw this.

"Not yet. We will not have any new cooperation plans until Jennifer finishes filming "Jurassic Park."" Xiang Nan explained.

"When will the movie be finished? I heard that you have invested 100 million US dollars, right?" the host asked with concern.

"That's right, I want to make its digital special effects more realistic and give the audience a more realistic and shocking visual experience, so I spare no expense." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I hope it can be released in the summer, but if not

If so, then let’s hope it can be released on Christmas.”

"Okay, we'll see." The host nodded with satisfaction.

…

At the subsequent Golden Globe Awards, Universal Pictures did not win any awards except for Tommy Lee Jones, who won Best Supporting Actor for "The Fugitive."

However, what surprised Xiang Nan was that "Farewell My Concubine" produced in Mainland China won the Best Foreign Language Award. This can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

Unfortunately, only Director Chen came to receive the award, and the other leading actors such as Zhang Fengyi, Leslie Cheung, and Gong Li did not come, so Xiang Nan was quite disappointed.

He is not interested in Director Chen, but is still a little concerned about Gong Li.

After Cong Shan retired from acting, Zhang Yimou discovered Gong Li and let her film "Codename Jaguar", "Ancient and Modern Battle of Qin Terracotta Warriors", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", etc., and also achieved a very good reputation.

"Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" also helped Gong Li win the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival. Her cheongsam made of large calico from the northeastern countryside really amazed the media around the world and was regarded as a symbol of oriental beauty.

Therefore, when Gong Li didn't come, Xiang Nan couldn't help but feel a little unmotivated, and even Director Chen didn't bother to talk to him.

…

At the party after the award ceremony, Xiang Nan was still drinking and eating while talking about new projects with everyone.

After several serious talks, he accepted two projects.

One is the American TV series "Emergency Room".

Medical dramas have always been a common theme in American dramas, such as "Grey's Anatomy", "House", "The Anatomy", "Black Alert", "The Night Shift", etc., and their ratings are very good.

The reason for this is, on the one hand, because it often involves life, death and other major life issues, from which it can examine the warmth and warmth of human relationships, show the joys and sorrows of separation and reunion, and reflect the meaning of life.

On the one hand, it is also very topical and social, involving topics such as doctor-patient relationship, medical accidents, and system corruption, which can easily attract the attention of the audience.

"Emergency Room Story" is one of the best among medical dramas. Although Xiang Nan has never watched this American drama, he knows that it is very popular.
