The original "Bad Boys 2" had an investment of US$130 million, and the final global box office was US$230 million. It was not profitable, so "Bad Boys 3" was not released until seventeen years later.

The reason why the original version of "Bad Boys 2" is no longer sold for money is due to changes in the social environment. In 1995, two African-Americans were invited to play the leading roles, and they were called avant-garde while shooting guns and telling racially charged jokes. By 2003 If we arrange it like this in the new year, it will seem outdated.

Second, in order to show off his skills, Michael Bay arranged too many gunfights and explosions. Although the scenes looked really hot, they would inevitably bore the audience. Just like people like to eat spicy food, but hot pot that is too spicy will not It’s daunting.

Therefore, in the end, the box office of "Bad Boys 2" was not as good as the film company expected, so it was shelved for seventeen years.

Xiang Nan knew that "Bad Boys 2" had this problem, so he cut out some of the gunfights and instead added more scenes of brotherhood, love and family affection.

In addition, those racist jokes have also been deleted and modified to avoid irritating the audience. After all, today is different from the past, and those jokes can go too far if not careful.

…

After the new version of "Bad Boys 2" was released, the box office performance was very good.

On the one hand, the plot has been adjusted to better suit the tastes of the current audience; on the other hand, Will Smith is in his prime and has amazing box office appeal. Although Martin Lawrence is in some bad shape, his ability to make jokes has not diminished. .

Therefore, in the end, the North American box office of "Bad Boys 2" was US$150 million, and the global box office exceeded US$400 million. Compared with the investment of US$100 million, this is a very good result.

However, Xiang Nan is still hesitant about whether to film "Jedi Men 3". If the conditions cannot be negotiated, then "Jedi Men 3" may be delayed for several more years.

…

In July, "Fast and Furious 4" was released, telling the story of Don's team gathering to fight against the Brazilian drug lord.

Compared with the previous three films, this movie has a higher investment and bigger scenes, especially the street racing at the end, which makes the audience passionate and blood-thrilled.

In addition, the story has a climax throughout the whole process, and there is no irritation at all, making it very enjoyable for the audience. Therefore, in the end, the film earned US$350 million in North America and US$730 million at the global box office.

Compared with the investment of 120 million US dollars, this box office is quite good, so "Fast and Furious 5" will definitely be filmed again.

The global success of "Fast and Furious 4" has greatly increased the popularity of Chinese actors such as Zhang Ziyi, Wu Yanzu, and Nicholas Tse. Nicholas Tse, in particular, has become an international movie star with this movie, which has also made him one of the most famous actors in the world. Despite the gloomy photo scandal in 2017, future development is promising.

…

In August, the filming of "Mission: Impossible 5" ended.

During the filming, Xiang Nan and Wen Yongshan communicated several times. To be honest, the experience was not good.

Except for her pretty face, Wen Yongshan is just unsatisfactory in other aspects. Especially her knowledge is a mess.

Because she has been a model since she was a child and did not receive much education at all, she was not admitted to college. Therefore, her language is tasteless and her conversation is poor. With Jennifer Connelly, Natalie Portman, Kate Bay Kinsale and other top academics are really incomparable.

Therefore, Xiang Nan only communicated with her a few times. After filming her scenes, she was sent directly back to Xiangjiang.

After filming "Mission: Impossible 5", Xiang Nan immediately participated in the filming of "Instant Universe".

The original male lead was played by Kwan Kai-wai, and the original version starred Jackie Chan. However, the investment in that movie was not large, so Jackie Chan could not be hired, so Kwan Kai-wei was cast.

And now, Xiang Nan is preparing to star in it himself.

On the one hand, by partnering with Cong Shan, he can cooperate with her and protect her to the maximum extent. After all, this is her comeback after 20 years, and it is her first time filming in Hollywood. It is inevitable that she will not adapt to it. With him by her side, she can Save a lot of trouble.

On the one hand, this movie is her first comeback film. If it does not perform well at the box office, it will be a huge blow to her. And with Xiang Nan joining the cast, at least the box office is guaranteed.

In addition to him and Cong Shan, other actors in the film Xiang Nan also have arrangements.

The daughter Joy is played by Mainland actor Shu Chang. Not only does she have outstanding acting skills, she is also a graduate of Yenching International Studies University and has passed the foreign language test;

The role of the father-in-law is played by Zeng Chang. He also studied in the United States and participated in "007: Die Another Day". He is a familiar face and his acting skills are naturally quite impressive.

Deirdre is played by Cate Blanchett. She is well-known for her acting skills and is known as the Devil. She has also been nominated and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress many times.

In addition, Xiang Nan also swipes favor cards, and many big-name stars will make guest appearances, including top stars such as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp, and Nicolas Cage. .

In addition to the above arrangements, the director of this film is Steven Spielberg, the most outstanding commercial film director in Hollywood.

He hasn't made any new films recently, mainly because there aren't any good scripts that stand out to him.

As for Xiang Nan's "The Instant Universe", after watching it, he found it very interesting, so he decided to cooperate with Xiang Nan.

However, he had some objections to Cong Shan being the heroine.

There are so many famous actresses in Hollywood who have acting skills. Why Xiang Nan would choose this unpopular woman who is over fifty and has been out of the industry for twenty years to play the role is really puzzling to him.

"Charles, do you want to reconsider the choice of the heroine?" he suggested.

"No need, it's her." Xiang Nan insisted.

"Why, does she have any advantages?" Spielberg asked puzzledly.

"Because she is my wife." Xiang Nan explained with a smile.

Spielberg suddenly realized, and then questioned, "The investment in this movie is 100 million US dollars. Have you ever thought about what if you lose money?"

The investment in the original version of "The Instant Universe" was only US$25 million, so everything in the movie was shabby, and even many of the special effects were done by the two directors themselves.

Xiang Nan is naturally not short of money, so he invested 100 million US dollars in the production of this movie. Neither he nor Cong Shan wanted to be paid. In that case, all 100 million US dollars was invested in the production, which is equivalent to investing 150 million to 200 million big companies. Make.

However, since the heroine does not have enough box office appeal, Spielberg will still worry about a box office failure.

"It doesn't matter. If you pay, pay, as long as she is happy." Xiang Nan said with a smile, he really didn't take the loss of one to two hundred million US dollars seriously.
