The other one is Martin Scorsese's new film "Casino".

Given that they had a great time collaborating on "Goodfellas" before, Martin Scorsese is naturally willing to collaborate with Xiang Nan again.

This movie "Casino" tells the story of a past incident in Las Vegas in the 1970s.

It's similar to the plot of "Goodfellas", it's nothing more than a story of good brothers who have shared weal and woe, parted ways and turned against each other because of interests.

Martin Scorsese is already very good at shooting this kind of movies.

Xiang Nan agreed to invest for him and recommended him to use Sophie Marceau as the heroine.

…

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

In the new year, Universal Pictures has big plans. It plans to produce movies such as "Alone", "Seven Deadly Sins", "12 Monkeys", "The Usual Suspects", "Planet 2", etc.

In fact, he still has many scripts in hand, such as "The Man in Disguise", "Interview with the Vampire", "Stargate", "Dumb and Dumber", "Covered Bridge", "The Wire", "Apollo Ten" "No. 3", "Ghost Horse Elf" and so on.

These films are all acclaimed and well-received masterpieces, but Xiang Nan is not prepared to shoot them all at once. Because the market's capacity is limited, and good films are released together, some of them become cannon fodder.

It seems that 1994 was a year of frequent masterpieces, with countless wonderful movies emerging, such as "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Ashes of Time", "To Live", and "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman" , "The Lion King", "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" and so on.

As a result, a large number of good films have been buried without the public noticing their value. Therefore, Xiang Nan is preparing to slowly release these films.

…

"Seven Deadly Sins", Xiang Nan plans to arrange Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman. As for the villain, he does not plan to use Kevin Spacey, but plans to use Eren Reich. Mann, also known as Sirius in the "Harry Potter" series. Xiang Nan has worked with him before in "Die Hard" and is very optimistic about his acting skills.

The starring role of "12 Monkeys" is still Bruce Willis, the heroine is Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the supporting actor is changed from Brad Pitt to Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonardo DiCaprio is still on the rise, so he should act more Class roles are good for him.

Xiang Nan still doesn't plan to use Kevin Spacey as the protagonist of "The Usual Suspects". He plans to use Nicolas Cage. He believes that Cage's acting skills will definitely help him complete this role.

"Planet 2" will naturally star Jim Carrey, but the heroine will no longer be Courtney Cox. Xiang Nan is planning to cast Halle Berry. Because the film is set in Africa, there is a non- It is normal to have a female protagonist of Asian descent.

As for Xiang Nan himself, he is preparing to start filming "Prison in the Sky".

"Prison in the Sky" tells the story of a male protagonist who mistakenly killed a gangster to protect his wife and was imprisoned. After several years of waiting, he was finally paroled for good behavior and was about to take the prisoner's plane home.

Unexpectedly, the plane was hijacked by a group of serious criminals, who were preparing to flee abroad. At the critical moment, the male protagonist was alone, and could only fight with them outnumbered and outnumbered...

It was originally an action blockbuster starring Nicolas Cage. It caused a sensation after its release in 1996 and earned a global box office of US$230 million. It can be said to be quite a blockbuster.

Xiang Nan immediately began to make preparations.

…

At the same time, in January, Universal Pictures released "The Last Days," starring Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt, and Winona Ryder.

Once this movie was released, it immediately caused a strong sensation.

Because it tells the story of the American Midwest, and the protagonist played by Brad Pitt is free-spirited, unrestrained, wild and charming, which is very popular with white American audiences.

Therefore, its box office is very good, with a box office of 66 million US dollars in North America and a global box office of 120 million US dollars. Compared with the investment of 30 million US dollars, it can be said to be a great success.

The success of this movie has also made Brad Pitt an idol in the hearts of countless teenagers. He has thus firmly become a first-line superstar and has the ability to single-handedly carry the box office. This is really worthy of congratulations.

In February, "Peach Deal" starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bruce Willis and Sean Connery was released.

The movie tells the story of a couple facing a financial crisis who are forced to make a deal with a wealthy man, allowing his wife to spend a night with him in exchange for a million-dollar reward.

As a result, the rich man fell in love with the heroine that night and continued to pursue her. The couple also became estranged because of this transaction...

This is a movie with a relatively bold theme, so it caused quite a bit of controversy after it was released.

Many couples or couples have begun to discuss, when they face the same choice, what choice will they make? Should they choose true love first, or long live money?

Critics criticized the film, believing that it promotes the concept of money first, which is really unethical and contrary to tradition. They believe that the film is a completely bad film. This year's Rotten Tomatoes Worst Film Award was It should be awarded.

Sometimes, controversy is not a bad thing.

In fact, precisely because it is so controversial, the movie's popularity is gradually rising, and along with it is rising box office figures.

In the end, "Peach Deal" took in US$106 million at the box office in North America and US$260 million worldwide. It can be said to be a great success.

Catherine Zeta-Jones also became famous with her breakthrough performance in this film and became one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood today.

…

In March, it’s time for the Oscars.

Xiang Nan basically has no expectations for this year's Oscars.

After all, the opponent they faced was "Schindler's List". This is a work of celebrity film history. Compared with this work, other works seem too naive.

Therefore, he was not prepared to win the award. But even so, he had to go and support him.

This time, Xiang Nan walked the red carpet with Jennifer Aniston because he was planning to invite Jennifer Aniston to be the heroine of his new film.

This is naturally good news for Jennifer, because although she debuted in the late 1980s, she has had very few opportunities to star in movies.

Especially this time she is cooperating with Xiang Nan. For her, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and of course she must seize it.

"Charles, thank you for inviting me." She said very gratefully.
