"Charles, this beautiful girl next to you is..." the host asked with a smile.

"Miss Zhang Ziyi, the heroine of my new work." Xiang Nan introduced with a smile.

"That's so lucky." The host nodded, "What is the story of the new film? Can you tell me?"

"It's a martial arts story." Xiang Nan explained, "I guarantee this is an unprecedented story that no one has ever seen."

"Then you must look forward to it." After hearing what he said, the host smiled and nodded.

…

The awards ceremony was held subsequently, and "Titanic" once again became the protagonist of the evening.

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Art Direction...we won a total of eleven awards. Only the 1959 "Ben-Hur" in film history achieved such an achievement.

.

No wonder James Cameron shouted excitedly on stage, "I am the king of the world!"

When Xiang Nan went on stage to accept the Best Picture Award, he held the trophy and smiled and said to the audience, "I heard that when this movie was first released, many people thought that I was going to be in bad luck because of its poor box office performance.

Already.

But now, I am standing on the stage, holding a trophy in my hand and a check of 1.8 billion US dollars in my pocket. So, listen to me, don't let anyone judge you, only you can decide your own destiny. Thank you

Everyone~”

Xiang Nan's acceptance speech really slapped many people in the face.

But his words were indeed very popular, so they were unanimously recognized by the audience after being broadcast, and soon became a classic quote.

At the party after the award ceremony, Xiang Nan expressed congratulations to James Cameron.

"James, I really want to congratulate you. You were shortlisted for fourteen awards and won eleven. You made Oscar history." He said with a smile.

"Thank you." Cameron also smiled, "Charles, I know that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

If Xiang Nan had not accepted this project, it is likely that this project would have become obsolete.

In that case, let alone winning eleven Oscar trophies and becoming the "King of the World", he is not even qualified to stand here today and would have gone back and continued driving his big truck.

"Don't say that, I've always believed in your ability." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "How to raise it, James, do you want to consider filming "True Lies 2" or "Terminator 3"?"

When James Cameron heard this, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll think about it."

Xiang Nan also nodded, knowing that Cameron was not a prolific director.

He made his debut in the early 1980s and has only made seven movies in sixteen years now.

After filming "Titanic" in 1997, "Avatar" was not released until 2009, with a gap of twelve years. "Avatar 1" and "Avatar 2" were also separated by more than ten years.

So Xiang Nan really didn't have much hope for his subjective initiative. Therefore, he could only write the script first and then urge Cameron to film it.

…

At the party, Xiang Nan also finalized two projects.

One is "The Sky Stealing Trap" and the other is "Death is Coming".

"The Trap" tells the story of two thieves who took advantage of the new millennium and took the opportunity to rob the bank when the bank's operating system was down due to the millennium bug.

Xiang Nan has seen this movie, starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

This film is also a classic of Catherine. In it, she is not only stunningly beautiful, but also smart, witty, and quite attractive.

"Death Comes" was an idea conceived by the screenwriter of "The X-Files". It was originally intended to be used in "The X-Files", but later the idea was not adopted, so he expanded it into a script and prepared to adapt it into a TV series.

movie.

Xiang Nan has also seen this movie and knew it was a famous horror movie, so he decided to invest in it.

…

Seeing how popular Xiang Nan was at the party, the top Hollywood stars, directors, and producers were all surrounding Xiang Nan, hoping to cooperate with him. Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but open his eyes.

In her opinion, those stars, directors, and producers were all famous, well-known, and aloof masters. Not to mention that she knew them, she had never even met them.

But now, they were all surrounding her, greeting each other with smiles and enthusiasm, which really made her feel flattered.

And she also understood in her heart that the reason why those people were so enthusiastic was not because of how awesome she was. It was because the people around her were the most prestigious and prestigious filmmakers in Hollywood and even the world.

Realizing this made her admire Xiang Nan even more.

…

In April, Xiang Nan finally made a breakthrough with his acquisition of MGM Pictures.

He finally acquired MGM Pictures for US$800 million, including the famous 007 series. In addition, there are more than 1,500 movies and more than 4,000 episodes of TV series.

Overall, the price is quite suitable.

On the one hand, more than 1,500 movies and more than 4,000 TV series episodes have effectively expanded Universal Pictures' film library, allowing it to have more stable and abundant income;

On the one hand, although MGM's film library was sold once and lost well-known movies such as "Tom and Jerry", "The Wizard of Oz", "Gone with the Wind", "The Blue Bridge", etc., it still has "007"

” series, “Pink Panther” series, “Addams Family” series, “Four Funerals and a Wedding” and other high-quality movies.

At this time, MGM also had another 007 series film in production, namely "Dark Days" starring Sophie Marceau and Denis Richards.

To be honest, Denise Richards is already stunning and ranks among the top among many Bond girls. However, she met the even more beautiful Sophie Marceau, and she is not only stunningly beautiful, but more importantly, she is also a femme fatale.

Insidious, cunning, ruthless.

To men, such a woman is actually more attractive. Therefore, Denise Richards was completely eliminated in every second, and her presence in the film is extremely low.

After it was released, she also attracted a lot of ridicule, which even affected her stardom, so that she never received a commercial blockbuster again. It's really pitiful!

…

The news that Xiang Nan successfully acquired MGM did not cause much reaction in Hollywood.

On the one hand, everyone knows that MGM Pictures is a mess. It has changed owners several times without any improvement. Therefore, whoever buys it may end up losing money;

On the one hand, Xiang Nan has already acquired Carolco Pictures and Universal Pictures before, and now it is no longer unusual to acquire MGM Pictures. After all, the current miserable situation of MGM Pictures is not as good as that of Carocco Pictures back then.

What about Rocco?

Today's MGM, that is, the brand is still somewhat well-known, but its foundation has long been destroyed. It is no longer one of the eight giants in Hollywood, and it is not even as powerful as Miramax, Olean Pictures, and New Line Cinema. So it
Chapter completed!
