In January 2005, "Luke Cage 2" was released.

This African-American superhero movie received strong support from African-American audiences when it was first released.

Because this movie was the first superhero comic book movie with an African-American protagonist, it was a big breakthrough for them, so they flocked to the theater to watch it, which ultimately brought in a box office of more than 200 million US dollars. , the global box office is also close to 400 million US dollars, which can be said to be very popular.

Therefore, after the release of "Luke Cage 2", the racial halo and the popularity of the previous film made it still prosperous at the box office. In the end, the North American box office was US$180 million and the global box office was US$350 million.

It can be said to be quite good.

…

In January, Xiang Nan also started a new project.

"The Butterfly Effect", "The Defenders 2", "X-Men 3", "American Pie 3", "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Part 1 and 2)", "Mission: Impossible 4", "Night at the Museum" , "Brokeback Mountain", "Untouchables", "Lord of War" and "Princess Diaries 2".

"The Butterfly Effect" is a brain-burning suspense thriller that tells the story of a male protagonist who has the ability to travel through time and space. In order to change the fate of his girlfriend and family, he constantly travels through time and space, but the results become worse and worse...

"The Defenders 2" is the second part of the Defenders universe. The defenders begin to gather to fight the next super boss. Xiang Nan has already laid the groundwork for three movies. In "Daredevil 2", "Lu Cage 2" and "Tekken 2" have already been laid.

This time "The Defenders 2" will feature more heroes, the story will be more exciting, the fighting will be more intense, and the scenes will be more spectacular. I believe it will win the love of the audience.

"X-Men 3", "American Pie 3", "Mission: Impossible 4", and "Princess Diaries 2" are all sequels, consistent with their predecessors.

"Wonderful Night at the Museum" tells the story of the male protagonist who finally found a job as a guard in a museum, but unexpectedly, the museum's exhibits came back to life after sunset...

"Brokeback Mountain" tells the story of an unknown relationship; "Lord of War" tells the story of an arms dealer's journey...

…

Xiang Nan then began to prepare for "Mission: Impossible 4", selecting actors and filming locations.

Because it was 2005, the Burj Khalifa in the Middle East had just started to be built, so we couldn't shoot there. But that didn't bother Xiang Nan. He planned to shoot in the 101 Building in Taipei. It is 501 meters high. , is the tallest building in Asia and quite famous.

In terms of actors, the cast is basically the same as the original cast, Ellen Page, Jeremy Renner, Patricia Velasquez... As the villainess, Xiang Nan decided to use the Victoria's Secret supermodel after careful consideration.

The full name of Victoria's Secret is Victoria's Secret. It was founded in 1977. After decades of development, it is now the world's largest underwear brand, with annual sales exceeding US$2 billion.

In order to promote its products, Victoria's Secret has held fashion shows since 1995 and hired supermodels to walk for its products in order to enhance the value of the brand.

After years of operation, the Victoria's Secret Show has become a major event in the fashion industry, attracting tens of millions of viewers every year.

Any model who walks for the Victoria's Secret show will become famous in one fell swoop, so every year the Victoria's Secret show attracts thousands of models to sign up for the campaign.

Those who can appear in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show are all top beauties with impeccable looks, figures, and temperaments. Therefore, the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has become a tacit beauty hunt within the circle.

Many wealthy businessmen and top celebrities are invited to watch the show. Xiang Nan also receives invitations every year, but has never been there.

Just because of filming and rumors of scandals with female stars, you can use the excuse to hype up the popularity and drive up the box office, but when you go to the Victoria's Secret Show to see beautiful women, other than being lustful, there is really no excuse.

Although he has never been there, it does not mean that he is not interested in those supermodels.

After all, everyone likes beautiful women.

…

The news that Xiang Nan wanted to be a Victoria's Secret model to star in "Mission: Impossible 4" quickly spread throughout the fashion industry, and countless models submitted their resumes to the crew.

All models want to develop in Hollywood. On the one hand, they will have higher income and on the other hand, they will become more famous.

Top models like Gisele Bündchen only earn $6 million a year. And stars like Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Jennifer Connelly, etc., earn as much as $6 million per movie.

Ten million dollars.

Moreover, the fame of top supermodels is not as great as that of second-tier Hollywood movie stars. For example, Gisele Bundchen, if it weren’t for the scandal she had with Leonardo DiCaprio, her fame would have been impossible to achieve.

Therefore, many models work hard to star in movies.

The first three "Mission: Impossible" films were all among the top ten in the annual box office rankings, and the investment in "Mission: Impossible 4" exceeded US$150 million, making it a veritable masterpiece.

Being able to star in this film, even in a small role, will help to enhance their reputation, so naturally everyone is enthusiastic about it.

Xiang Nan is a bit picky when it comes to choosing people.

After all, Victoria's Secret models really need to have good looks, a good figure, and a good temperament. Every one of them can be regarded as a gift to men.

In the end, Xiang Nan selected Alessandra Ambrosio after the assessment. She was born in 1981 and started modeling at the age of fourteen. In 2001, she participated in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for the first time and stunned everyone.

After the news was exposed, Alessandra immediately became famous in the fashion industry, and her popularity even exceeded that of Gisele Bundchen, who was in love with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Many fashion brands such as Gucci, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Chanel have offered her an olive branch, and many fashion magazines such as "Vogue", "elle", and "GQ" have invited her to shoot covers, and she has been in the limelight for a while.

This naturally makes Alexandra very happy. She didn't expect that she would already be so profitable before the movie started shooting. When the movie is released in the future, it will be great!

Seeing Alexandra become famous in one fell swoop, other models are naturally envious.

…

In January, Xiang Nan returned to the mainland with his family.

Ning Weiguo and Qi Aihong were getting worse and worse and needed family company, so Xiang Nan and his family did not return to the United States until the end of February.

After returning to the United States, preparations for "Mission: Impossible 4" continued.

In order to better play their characters, actors like Jeremy Renner, Patricia Velasquez and Alessandra Ambrosio undergo physical training and fighting skills training.

In addition, Jun Ji-hyun, who starred in "X-Men 3", is also receiving physical and fighting skills training. Xiang Nan will occasionally go to the training ground to play the role of a master.

And as the time we spend together increases, the relationship will naturally get better and better.
