1808 [Two Matches]
"You don't have to hide it from me. I already know it. I'm not in "The Kid 2" and you guys are going to work together to kick me out." Brooke Shields said angrily.
She originally wanted to hook up with Xiang Nan, but she didn't expect that she had just received the news that she was out. This made her very unhappy, so she called Xiang Nan to protest.
"That's not the case." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan said quickly, "In this film, the heroine's role is not important. I thought you didn't bother to appear, so I didn't book your role. Since you want to appear, then Warner Bros. and I will
Just say it.”
"Fool, I don't want to star in a movie, I just want to be with you." Brooke Shields said immediately.
"Okay, I understand." Xiang Nan nodded, "Then I'll make arrangements."
Later, he mentioned the matter to Warner.
Warner executives directly agreed to this suggestion without much thought.
Xiang Nan's "Die Hard" had a box office of 66 million US dollars in North America and 44 million US dollars in overseas box office. Added together, it is 110 million US dollars.
And its cost was only 14 million US dollars, and this movie alone made Warner tens of millions.
Everything in Hollywood is based on profit. It's not wrong to pick up girls here, it's not wrong to arrive late and leave early, it's not wrong to be a big name, the only wrong thing is not selling out.
And as long as it can sell movies, even if it makes all these mistakes, the film company will still be happy with it.
For example, when Johnny Depp was filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", one night he suddenly missed his friends in the United States and hoped to have a party with them.
So Disney specially sent a special plane to fly his friends to the Caribbean to party with Johnny Depp. This alone cost more than half a million US dollars.
The reason why Johnny Depp can be so willful is simply because "Pirates of the Caribbean" sold a lot of money.
The same is true for Xiang Nan now. His starring roles in "Die Hard" and "Die Hard" have made a lot of money for Warner. Therefore, Warner now wants to offer him up and worship him like the God of Wealth.
As long as his request is not too excessive, Warner will find a way to satisfy it. Now it's just a matter of appointing a heroine. Don't make it too simple, and Warner will naturally not refuse.
…
Preparations for "Dragon Boy 2" began immediately.
The male and female protagonists are already in place, but after Xiang Nan considered the male villain, he decided to use Steven Seagal.
On the one hand, he is a master with a seventh-degree black belt in Aikido and Karate, and his skills are clean and neat. If you hire such a professional martial artist to film, the martial arts scenes can be designed more beautifully; on the other hand, he has filmed some movies, and his acting skills are pretty good.
It's more delicate and realistic, enough to play the villain in the film.
After Steven Seagal was invited, he happily accepted the invitation.
In fact, action actors like him are not popular in Hollywood.
Because Hollywood action movies don't pay attention to fighting skills, they like straightforward violence and destruction.
This can be seen from a series of action movies starring Schwarzenegger. The protagonist's fighting relies entirely on muscle and brute force, and there is no skill at all.
No matter how good Steven Seagal's kung fu is, in this environment, there is no place for him to be a hero. Even if he makes movies, he only makes low-cost violent movies, which have almost no quality at all, and of course it is impossible to take advantage of them.
Famous.
Therefore, when Xiang Nan invited him to film, he immediately agreed, fearing that Xiang Nan would regret it.
…
"Dragon Boy 2" officially started filming in May.
Xiang Nan and Brooke Shields collaborated again after breaking up, which also attracted the attention of the American media.
Many media also re-examined the love history of the two, speculating whether the two might reunite because of this cooperation.
To this, Terry Xiaosi did not object.
On the one hand, Brooke Shields's acting career is really lackluster. Except for "The Kid", "Cannonball Run", and "The Legend of Love", which were somewhat well-received, other films have not made any splash at all.
Therefore, although she is known as the eighth wonder of the world and has fascinated a large number of fans just by her appearance, in fact, her status is constantly being impacted.
After all, no one can look at their faces for a lifetime, especially there is no shortage of beauties in Hollywood.
For example, Michelle Pfeiffer, who last collaborated with Xiang Nan in "Die Hard", is a great beauty. But before making this movie, she had been working hard in Hollywood for six years.
Therefore, if a star wants to be popular for a long time, he still has to rely on his works to speak for himself. This is why Terri Shields asked Brooke Shields to participate in "The Kid 2".
Xiang Nan is now a popular actor in Hollywood. The huge sales of the two movies "The Kid" and "Die Hard" fully prove his talent and popularity.
Compared with him, Brooke Shields is just a flower vase that does not live up to her name. The status of the two of them now has been basically reversed. Before, when Xiang Nan had a scandal with her, Xiang Nan took advantage. Now it is Brooke Shields who takes advantage.
Xiang Nan doesn't object to promoting the scandal with Brooke Shields again, since he won't suffer any loss anyway.
But he still has to take Michelle Pfeiffer's opinion into account. After all, they are still nominally a couple.
So Xiang Nan made a special trip to visit her.
…
After Michelle Pfeiffer heard about this, she did not hesitate and quickly agreed.
First of all, the scandal between her and Xiang Nan was originally fake, and the purpose was to promote "Die Hard". Now that the movie has been cancelled, and the attention has gradually disappeared, it is time for the two of them to become partners. When it's time to dismantle.
Secondly, hyping up her breakup is another eye-catching thing for her. She has not released a new work since the release of "Die Hard", which has caused her popularity to begin to decline.
So if she could publicize her change of heart now, it would be very helpful to increase her popularity. So she happily agreed.
"However, I still have a condition, and I hope you can agree to it." Michelle added.
"What conditions, please tell me first. As long as they don't cross the line, I will consider them." Xiang Nan nodded. After all, she was the woman who had accompanied him, and he didn't want to appear too cold-blooded.
"Our relationship can be broken, but I hope our relationship will continue." Michelle Pfeiffer looked at Xiang Nan, biting her lips, and said with infinite temptation.
Xiang Nan was stunned, not expecting that she would make this request.
But this is not a bad thing for him.
In fact, he just doesn't want to let go of a woman of her quality. In this case, it's better to just be a pair of wild mandarin ducks and communicate occasionally!
