The scandalous hype and regular publicity made "Die Hard" more and more popular, and it was finally officially released on Christmas Eve.

After its release, the box office response was very good.

On the one hand, its story is really solid. Although it is just a popcorn entertainment film, the IQs of all the members are online. The robbers, the protagonist, and even the police did not deliberately act stupid, making the audience feel real.

On the one hand, although the story revolves around this building and the scene is not big, thanks to the careful arrangement, the plot is still compact, full of ups and downs, and thrilling, leaving people breathless.

On the one hand, all the main characters are well portrayed. In particular, John McClane, played by Xiang Nan, is not only agile, but also smart, courageous, and fearless. Such a tough guy is still very popular.

Audiences are also discerning people, so when they see such a good work, they naturally don’t hesitate to spend money in their pockets. Many viewers feel unsatisfied after watching it once, and some even watch it two, three, or four or five times.

There was even an audience in New York who watched more than 30 shows in a row and could even memorize the lines. This news was even reported by the media.

This all shows the popularity of "Die Hard".

As a result, its box office has been rising steadily and it is extremely popular.

…

On January 1st, after spending New Year's Day with Miao Ke, Xiang Nan took the opportunity to return to Xiangjiang.

At this time, "The Best Partner" was being filmed, but the scenes between Chen Baixiang and Zheng Yuling were filmed first, as well as those scenes that required the use of stand-ins.

Such as riding a motorcycle out of a building, chasing and crashing cars, etc. In these dangerous scenes, Xiang Nan does not have to turn around and lead the way. After all, this is not his strength.

After returning to Hong Kong, Xiang Nan continued filming "Best Partner".

After learning that his movie "Die Hard" was a hit in the United States, the media in Hong Kong felt honored and came to film one after another, hoping to get first-hand fresh information.

"Mr. Ning, when will your film "Die Hard" be released in Hong Kong?" a reporter asked.

"It will probably land in Xiangjiang during the Spring Festival period." Xiang Nan said with a smile. The film has been distributed by Golden Harvest and should be introduced during the Spring Festival period. It just so happens that during this period, Golden Harvest does not have any good blockbusters.

"Mr. Ning, can you briefly describe the plot of "Die Hard"?" a reporter asked again.

"I won't spoil the plot here, so as not to ruin everyone's interest in watching the movie." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Anyway, I assure you, this is definitely a good movie and definitely worth the price of admission."

"Mr. Ning, is your relationship with starring Michelle Pfeiffer true or false?" the reporter asked curiously.

"Of course it's true. Michelle is not only beautiful, but she also works hard. I admire girls like this very much." Xiang Nan admitted, which made the reporters excited for a while.

…

After dealing with reporters, Xiang Nan continued filming.

"Are you and Michelle real or fake?" Zheng Wenya turned around and asked Xiang Nandao, holding up the newspaper.

"Of course it's fake, how could it be true?" Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "But I have to say that, otherwise, it will directly affect the movie's box office."

"Hollywood is really hateful. What kind of propaganda method is bad? Why does it have to hype up scandals?" Zheng Wenya said angrily.

She considers herself Xiang Nan's real girlfriend, so naturally she doesn't want him to have so many scandals.

"I can't help it. Who makes people like to read gossip?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Don't be jealous, otherwise nothing will happen.

After all, a celebrity like me is really attractive to people. Even if I don’t try to flirt with others, others will deliberately cling to me. If you can’t even see through this, you won’t be mad to death.”

As he spoke, he paid attention to Zheng Wenya's expression.

If Zheng Wenya objects, he will look for opportunities to get rid of her.

After all, there is no grass anywhere in the world, and he will not be tied to her for the rest of his life.

"I still think you should discuss with them and change the publicity strategy." Zheng Wenya said, feeling indignant.

"Okay, okay, I will tell them." Xiang Nan smiled, "Okay, it's getting late, let's take a rest early."

"Um."

…

In North America, the box office of "Die Hard" has always remained high.

At the end of January, when the first round of screenings ended, the box office had already reached 45 million US dollars. This result was enough to rank in the top 30 box office rankings of the year.

What's more, the second round of screenings hasn't started yet. In addition, it hasn't been released in other regions yet. By then, it won't be unusual for this movie to have a box office of over 100 million.

In the 1980s, it was not easy for a movie to achieve a box office of over 100 million US dollars. If Xiang Nan could achieve this achievement, it would be truly amazing.

Therefore, whether it is Hollywood or Hong Kong, everyone is looking forward to it.

…

In February 1982, "Die Hard" officially landed in Hong Kong.

Once released, the film immediately caused a sensation.

On the one hand, this movie stars Xiang Nan, and he is Hong Kong's leading action star, so the audience's expectations were already high before it was released.

On the one hand, in the early 1980s, there were basically no action blockbusters in Hong Kong, only some kung fu movies. Although the fighting was beautiful, it lacked big scenes and grandeur, and was never as grand as Hollywood action movies.

Therefore, "Die Hard" is very popular. The box office in two days exceeded one million Hong Kong dollars, and it is expected to exceed ten million Hong Kong dollars, which is just a piece of cake.

Although it is not as popular as "Police Story", in Hong Kong in 1982, the movie's box office exceeded 10 million, which was already amazing.

…

Lisheng Theater.

Xiang Nan asked Guan Zhilin to watch a movie together.

Although Guan Zhilin is the second female lead in the film, her role is actually not that large, and the filming was completed in less than ten days.

Xiang Nan originally said that rabbits don't eat grass near the nest, but now that the grass is no longer near the nest, they can naturally eat it. So on the night when Guan Zhilin's scene was finished, Xiang Nan asked her to watch the movie together that night.

Guan Zhilin also readily agreed to this invitation.

On the one hand, she has no career ambitions. Her dream is to find a rich man to marry, so that she can enjoy life without having to work hard. Looking at Xiangjiang, among the young people, there is no one like Xiang Nan.

There are not many people. So he is a good choice;

On the one hand, Xiang Nan's charm is indeed great. He has inherited Fang Yifan's affinity, Cao Xiaoqiang's femininity, and Li Yu's warm masculine temperament.

The three qualities combined make women almost defenseless against him, and even icebergs will be split open by him.

This is actually the reason why a beauty like Brooke Shields, who is known as the eighth wonder of the world and has countless suitors, will also fall in love with him.
