In November, Xiang Nan finished filming in Xiangjiang.

Then he made an appointment with Lin Zhiling to meet.

Lin Zhiling was born in 1974. She debuted in 1990 and worked as a model for a period of time. Afterwards, she was admitted to the University of Toronto, majoring in Western fine arts and economics.

After getting a double degree, she returned to Taiwan to work. Later, because of her slim figure and sweet appearance, she was recommended by her friends and debuted as a model again.

This time, a cosmetics advertisement was filmed in Hong Kong. It caused quite a stir after it was broadcast. Many viewers called the TV station to inquire about the beauty. As a result, Lin Zhiling gained a high reputation in Hong Kong. Notability.

Xiang Nan was already very familiar with her, so he called her over directly.

For a big boss like him, calling her such a little model is really a matter of coming and going at a moment's notice.

"Mr. Ning, I didn't expect that I would have such an honor to meet you. I'm so happy." Lin Zhiling said with a smile on her face when she saw Xiang Nan.

"You're welcome." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "I saw your advertisement and thought you were very popular, so I specially invited you over. Well, you are indeed very beautiful."

"You are really honored." Lin Zhiling said happily, "Mr. Ning, you have collaborated with so many peerless beauties, so who am I?"

Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Don't belittle yourself. You are a top student who graduated from the University of Toronto. You still have great advantages in terms of knowledge and conversation."

Indeed, in terms of appearance, Lin Zhiling is not extremely beautiful. Not to mention compared with Li Jiaxin, Guan Zhilin, Sophie Marceau, Denise Richards, Clydia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford and others .

Even compared with Miao Kexiu, Xia Wenxi, Li Lizhen, Zhong Chuhong, Zheng Wenya, Lin Xilei, and Zhang Pozhi, they are still quite inferior.

However, beauty has always been about more than just looks. Appearance is only part of it. Conversation and knowledge are actually also very important.

The language is tasteless and the knowledge is shallow. No matter how beautiful she is, she is just an embroidered pillow. She looks beautiful but is actually full of straw.

Xiang Nan has dated many beauties like this, but he could only get along with her for a few days at most, and he wouldn't want to be with her for more than one day.

Lin Zhiling, on the other hand, graduated from the University of Toronto with a double bachelor's degree, majoring in Western fine arts and economics, so we have a lot in common with him.

When Lin Zhiling heard what he said, she also laughed proudly.

The reason why she deprecated herself first was actually to suppress her desire first.

"I just graduated from the University of Toronto. I heard that Mr. Ning, you graduated from Peking University, which is one of the best schools in the world." She said with a smile, "I am far behind you, and I am going to learn from you. "

"Okay, I happen to be staying in Xiangjiang for a while. If you like, just stay with me." Xiang Nan then said.

"Of course." Lin Zhiling agreed immediately.

…

Xiang Nan stayed in Xiangjiang for half a month and then returned to the United States.

In December, Universal Pictures released the movie "Castaway" starring Tom Hanks.

It tells the story of a FedEx employee who was stranded on a deserted island in the South Pacific due to a plane crash and was forced to struggle to survive.

This is a very inspirational and thought-provoking movie.

Watching the protagonist being at a loss on a desert island at the beginning, and then slowly growing up, fishing, making fires, smashing coconuts, and even building a boat to go to sea... the audience will feel the resilience, hard work and talent of people, and their ability to create What a miracle.

For the American people who have just experienced a terrorist attack, this movie is really so healing. So many viewers are not satisfied after watching it once, so they watch it a second time and a third time...

Therefore, "Cast Away" was a box office hit after its release, taking in US$560 million in the United States and nearly US$800 million worldwide.

Compared with the production cost of 90 million US dollars, it can be said to be a great success.

Universal Pictures' stock price has soared again due to the successive release of blockbuster movies, and it has firmly become the number one giant in Hollywood.

…

Entering 2002, January, it’s awards season again.

Tom Hanks' "Cast Away," Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," and Mel Gibson's "Gladiator" are all favorites to win the award.

Unfortunately, Xiang Nan still went home to stay with his parents, so he missed the Golden Globe Award again. Despite this, "Cast Away" still won the Best Actor Award in the Drama Series.

"Gladiator" won the Best Director Award, while "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" won many awards including Best Picture in the Drama Category, Best Visual Effects, and Best Score.

In addition, Nicole Kidman won the Best Actress Award in the Music category for "Moulin Rouge", which is very worthy of congratulations.

…

In January, Universal Pictures also released the comedy "Meet the Father-in-Law," starring Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and Jennifer Aniston.

This comedy tells the story of a male gynecological nurse who goes to meet his father-in-law with his fiancée before getting married.

There are two main points of laughter in this story. One is the identity of the male protagonist, a male gynecological nurse, which is very embarrassing. Moreover, his surname is Fake, which naturally makes his father-in-law look down on him.

The other is the identity of the father-in-law. He is a retired FBI and his style is meticulous. Now that his daughter is going to be married to a male gynecological nurse, he is naturally not happy.

Moreover, the father-in-law is played by Robert De Niro, and as we all know, he has played roles such as gang bosses and gangsters before, so he is not easy to mess with at first glance.

Therefore, Ben Stiller has to pass his test and marry his daughter. This in itself is a test that is difficult to compare to the heavens, no less than stealing a treasure from the dragon's lair.

Therefore, "Meet the Father-in-Law" is full of creativity and humor. It received rave reviews as soon as it was released.

"'Meet the Father-in-Law' is like a bombshell full of jokes, making the audience laugh continuously. It is a classic comedy suitable for all ages." "Los Angeles Times" commented.

"It's not quite like a standard Hollywood comedy. The actors' performances are full of joyful expressions and exaggerated and artificial actions. It's closer to the British drama comedy, which is normal and daily. The joy comes from life itself, so The film also has a more immersive feel." "Film Critics Weekly" commented.

The audience also likes this movie very much, and it can be seen from the box office. In North America alone, it earned a box office of US$160 million, and the global box office reached a US$330 million.

Compared with the investment of 50 million US dollars, this movie can be said to be a huge success, so a sequel was quickly arranged.
