1941 [Giant Pit]
"Daredevil", Xiang Nan is planning to ask Ben Affleck to star.
Ben Affleck was born in 1972 and made his debut in 1979. In 1990, he collaborated with Xiang Nan in "Honey, I Shrunk the Children" and achieved very good results.
As a result, Ben Affleck has gained more acting opportunities. In the past few years, his development has been very good. He has appeared in "School", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "The Young and the Restless", "It's Cool"
"The Family" and so on, he is now a very eye-catching actor among the new generation of actors.
The reason why Xiang Nan invited him was, on the one hand, because he was tall and handsome and more suitable for playing Daredevil. On the other hand, he also had the potential to be worthy of investment.
Ben Affleck can write, direct and act, and his collaboration with Matt Damon in "Good Will Hunting" won nine nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.
.
"Escape from Tehran" directed by himself also won the Oscar for Best Picture. He has also been nominated for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, etc. many times.
Through these awards, it can be seen that Ben Affleck is still very capable.
The heroine of "Daredevil", Xiang Nan, is going to be selected through auditions, striving to select a young, beautiful, and capable actress.

"Bad Boys" is a police action movie. It was originally a movie starring Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. It tells the story of two Miami police officers who were ordered to investigate the disappearance of goods and fight with criminals.
.
This movie not only has a tense plot and grand scenes, but the biggest attraction is the jokes and quarrels between Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, which adds a touch of lightness and humor to this intense police film, making it even more interesting.
Entertainment.
Xiang Nan is still planning to have Martin Lawrence and Will Smith star in the movie. After all, apart from them, it is difficult for him to think of anyone else who can take their place.
The heroine is Claudia Schiffer. This character has very little screen time and does not have a very important role. She is basically just a vase. Claudia Schiffer can still complete this role.

"Interview with the Vampire" is a movie co-starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. It is also known as one of the most beautiful movies in history.
This movie is also adapted from the original work of the same name. It tells the story of the love and hatred between three vampires. It is actually a literary film.
But thanks to the support of the two superstars, "Interview with the Vampire" still achieved great success. With a global box office of 230 million US dollars, it is definitely a blockbuster.
In addition to Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, Xiang Nan recommended Natalie Portman as the candidate for Little Vampire.
With her looks and acting skills, I believe she would be more suitable than Kristen Dunst.

"Apollo 13" is adapted from historical facts. When the Apollo 13 moon landing spacecraft exploded, the three astronauts used their wisdom to fight despite the difficult environment and finally returned home safely.
This created a miracle in the history of spaceflight. It was a sensation at that time. It is the memory of countless Americans and is an event that has been recorded in history.
Therefore, if it is put on the screen now, it will definitely gain a lot of attention. In fact, after the film was released, it has achieved great success. Not only has it received a huge reputation and won nine Oscar nominations, but it has also made 350 million worldwide.
US dollar box office.
…
As for Xiang Nan himself, he is preparing to film "The Evaporation Order".
This movie tells the story of a police officer who was ordered to protect witnesses, but was framed by his superiors. For this reason, he had to protect witnesses while collecting evidence to find out the truth and clear his name.
It originally starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, with a global box office of nearly 360 million US dollars, making it a very successful action blockbuster.
For such a successful movie, Xiang Nan naturally focused on himself first.
As for the choice of the heroine, Xiang Nan hasn't decided yet.
He wants to choose some new faces as much as possible, so that it can bring more freshness to the audience.
Otherwise, it would feel too deja vu if you always work with people you know.
After all, he has played so many police officers before that he has almost become a professional police officer.
…
In addition, Xiang Nan is planning to invite Monica Bellucci and Sophie Marceau to co-star in the Wachowski brothers' "The Flower".
Both of them are beautiful women, so working together is guaranteed to be interesting. In real life, they have also collaborated once. It was in "Don't Look Back" in 2009 when they co-starred.
However, at that time, Sophie Marceau was already forty-three years old, and Monica Bellucci was already forty-five years old. They were both in the late stages of beauty, so they were not stunning.
Now they are at their most beautiful. I believe that just watching the two of them engage in lace is worth the price of admission.

In February, Universal Pictures released "The Bridge," starring Kevin Costner and Michelle Pfeiffer.
Last year, when Xiang Nan invited Kevin Costner to star in this film, he was still preparing to shoot "Waterworld" with the support of Columbia Pictures.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan persuaded him and invited him to star in "Covered Bridge". For the sake of past cooperation, Kevin Costner accepted Xiang Nan's invitation and turned down Columbia Pictures' "The Future".
Water World".
Upon seeing this, Columbia Pictures hired Sylvester Stallone, who had just made a comeback. As a result, the production process of this film was full of twists and turns and constant troubles.
Because "Water World of the Future" is set on the sea, and the sea is moody. Strong winds, huge waves, heavy rain... I don't know when it will come.
The sea scenery alone was blown down by strong winds three times and had to be rebuilt. This greatly increased the cost.
Columbia Pictures' original investment was US$60 million, which was already considered a large cost at the time. However, due to damage to the set, an additional US$30 million was added, bringing the investment to nearly US$100 million.
Coupled with the harsh environment at sea, many actors suffered from symptoms such as dizziness, diarrhea, and other discomforts, which also delayed the filming progress. The film that was originally thought to be completed in three months has not been completed after six months of filming.
Stallone complained that the experience of filming this movie was like living in hell. So Kevin Costner was very lucky that he did not take the movie, and he even thanked Xiang Nan for it.
After the release of "Bridge of Lost Dreams", the box office and reputation were very good.
The box office in North America was US$80 million and the global box office was US$180 million.
Both Kevin Costner and Michelle Pfeiffer demonstrated their extraordinary acting skills with this film, and also demonstrated their amazing box office appeal.
Chapter completed!
