…

Xiang Nan then arranged for actors.

"Men in Black" still stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, and the heroine is Denise Richards.

Will Smith debuted in 1985. He first started as a rapper. His record sales were very good and he even won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Group.

But unfortunately, after he got rich, he spent money lavishly, so before he was twenty-two, he had already made himself bankrupt.

Fortunately, he was still well-known at that time, so he was invited to star in the comedy "Tea Pot Cousin" named after him. As a result, the show became an instant hit and ran for six seasons.

Will Smith not only paid off the debt, but also became a household name in the United States as a television star, and entered the film industry. He just starred in "Bad Boys" with Martin Lawrence last year.

Although the film has not yet been released, Xiang Nan has seen the copy and believes that the quality is as good as the original and it will definitely be a hit, so he plans to continue using him.

…

"Air Force One", Xiang Nan is planning to ask Tom Hanks to star.

Compared with Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks' acting skills are not weak at all, and his salary is also more reasonable.

Because Harrison Ford likes to ask for a share of the box office, when he made "The Pursuit" in 1994, he received a share of the film's salary and took away US$60 million.

The friendship between Tom Hanks and Xiang Nan is worth US$15 million. After all, Xiang Nan discovered him first-hand. Without Xiang Nan, he would not be where he is now.

Moreover, every time he cooperates with Xiang Nan, he can reach a higher level, so Tom Hanks is also willing to accept a friendship price. Just like many big-name stars like to cut their salary to cooperate with big directors.

They know that all the salary they lose today will be earned back several times or dozens of times later.

"The Island" is a classic work by Nicolas Cage. But the most outstanding thing in the movie should be the veteran British agent played by Sean Connery. He is elegant, calm, chic, wise, and patriotic, even if he is... Even after being imprisoned for decades, he still never revealed secrets and continued to study.

And General Hammer, played by Ed Harris, has outstanding military exploits and a strong sense of justice. In order to help his subordinates seek justice, he was forced to betray his motherland. He is a typical tragic figure.

Xiang Nan is still prepared to use them. After all, he can't think of any other replacements for this team.

"Ransom", starring Bruce Willis and Jennifer Connelly; "Broken Arrow", starring Kevin Costner and Sylvester Stallone, Famke Janssen; "Independent" Day" starring Tom Cruise...

As for "Looking in the City", Xiang Nan recommended Brooke Shields and Chung Liti. As for Wen Bixia, Xiang Nan planned to let her play a role in "Independence Day".

…

In February, Universal Pictures released the movie "Interview with the Vampire" starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman.

The cast of this movie is absolutely luxurious. The two most handsome guys in Hollywood, as well as the most beautiful loli, are worth the price just for their looks.

What's more, this movie is not just a show-off movie. It has a twists and turns plot, concise lines, and constant twists and turns. It is a movie full of tension and touching emotions.

Therefore, after its release, this movie has achieved a very good reputation. The box office performance is naturally even more impressive, with a box office of 105 million US dollars in North America and a global box office of 230 million US dollars.

This shows how powerful the beauty’s box office appeal is.

…

Just when Xiang Nan was busy preparing for a new project, James Cameron approached Xiang Nan and hoped that he could invest in "Titanic".

After all, this movie is not only related to the survival of Fox Pictures, but also related to the rest of James Cameron's life. If this movie ends here, then James Cameron's career will be over.

Sergio Leone, who made the Daredevil trilogy, was sent back to Europe to retire because "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​failed at the box office.

Due to the fiasco of "Waterworld", Sylvester Stallone is now reduced to playing a villain again. James Cameron caused a loss of 130 million US dollars this time, and I am afraid that no company will dare to do it in the future. He was no longer needed, and he didn't want to go back to driving a train.

Faced with Cameron's request, Xiang Nan pretended to be hesitant, "James, we have feelings for each other, and I want to help you. However, the "Titanic" project will probably cause me to lose money. .

Well, if Fox Pictures is willing to package this project and sell it to me for $60 million, maybe I can consider whether to take it over."

James Cameron immediately conveyed Xiang Nan's words to Fox Films.

When Fox Pictures heard this, they were a little angry.

Because of this drama, they have invested 130 million U.S. dollars, and Xiang Nan now wants 60 million U.S. dollars to take over, which is really too much.

But if it hadn't been sold to him, I don't know how much money would have been invested in "Titanic." It's also unknown whether the cost could be recovered after the money was invested.

After all, the fiasco of "Waterworld" is just around the corner, and no one can guarantee that "Titanic" will be a hit.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Fox Pictures decided to sell the project to Xiang Nan, but the price was US$130 million.

Fox Pictures does not want to suffer losses and wants to get all its capital back.

Xiang Nan pretended to bargain with it and finally set the price at US$100 million. As a result, Fox Pictures lost US$30 million and lost a hot potato.

Xiang Nan spent 100 million US dollars and got a huge bargain.

Subsequently, he invested US$60 million to allow James Cameron to continue filming.

Cameron was already on the verge of despair. Whether or not the movie could be filmed was directly related to his career, so he was on tenterhooks every day.

Now that he finally had the funds, he immediately summoned the crew to start filming.

"Charles, thank you very much." He said gratefully to Xiang Nan. Without Xiang Nan's help, he might have finished the movie.

"You're welcome, James, I've always admired you." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Just shoot well. I believe your movie will be a hit."

"Thank you." Cameron nodded.

With Xiang Nan's encouragement, his fighting spirit became even higher.

…

In March, the Oscar Awards ceremony begins.

Xiang Nan walked the red carpet with Nicole Kidman.

The year before last, Nicole Kidman and George Clooney starred in DreamWorks' first film "Alert."

This movie was released last year, but its reputation and box office were average. Nicole Kidman was criticized by the media for this, saying that she couldn't even play a vase. This made her very depressed for a time.
