1816 [Back to the Future]

"Don't believe the nonsense in the newspapers, it's all nonsense." Xiang Nan smiled and said to Zhong Chuhong, "The only one I like is you, how could there be other women? It's all hype, you know, don't take it seriously. .”

"Did you really not move into her house and live with her?" Zhong Chuhong said doubtfully, "I saw in the newspaper that there was a photo of you entering her house."

"I went in through the front door, but went out through the back door." Xiang Nan explained, "For publicity, there must be some explosive news so that reporters are willing to report it. Otherwise, who cares about you."

"Is this really the case?" Zhong Chuhong asked worriedly.

"Of course it is, how could I lie to you? If you don't believe it, come to the United States and see for yourself." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I just miss you too, so come and stay with me."

"I can't leave now. I just took on a new drama, "The Hollow Young Master" directed by Chen Xunqi." Zhong Chuhong explained.

"Okay then." Xiang Nan sighed.

"How about I take two days off and go over to see you." Seeing that Xiang Nan was not in high spirits, Zhong Chuhong said quickly.

"Okay, if it's hard for you to ask for leave, then I'll go talk to Director Chen." Xiang Nan said immediately.

"No, no, I'll go." Zhong Chuhong said, "Then I'll see you in two days."

Xiang Nan nodded, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately rebooked a room and prepared to move back to the hotel.

He just lied to Zhong Chuhong on the phone, and he really moved into Phoebe Cates's house. After all, his advantage was not in vain.

Phoebe Cates has always maintained high exposure through scandals. This is a crucial thing for her as a newcomer.

Just as she worries, there are so many beauties in Hollywood, and so many who dare to take off their clothes and show off their bodies. A sex idol like her can easily be eliminated once she loses her exposure.

Xiang Nan's fame helped her maintain a high level of exposure. In return, she naturally had to do something. This was the simplest exchange of interests.



Two days later, Zhong Chuhong came to the United States.

"Let's go to the set of "Ghostbusters" first and see how Americans film." Xiang Nan went to pick him up in person. "Then we will go shopping on the famous Sunset Boulevard and buy you something."

"No, I'm just here to see you, nothing else is important." Zhong Chuhong waved her hands.

"I'm so lucky to have found such a good girl like you." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Let's go back to the hotel first."

Xiang Nan then took Zhong Chuhong back to the hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, Zhong Chuhong went to the bathroom first to see if there was a second toothbrush, a woman's hair, a used towel, etc.

This was a check-up technique she learned from a friend, but the result was of course in vain. A four-star hotel still does a good job in terms of hygiene.

Furthermore, given Xiang Nan's sophistication, there will be no obvious flaws left.

After settling in, Xiang Nan took Zhong Chuhong to the set of "Ghostbusters" and introduced her to Phoebe Cates and others.

"My girlfriend Cherry~" he introduced generously, without concealing anything, "she came all the way from Xiangjiang to visit my class."

"Welcome, welcome~" everyone said with a smile, even Phoebe Cates's face showed no signs of surprise.

This open, transparent, and generous attitude eliminated Zhong Chuhong's doubts.

In her opinion, if Xiang Nan and Phoebe really had something to do with each other, then she would never be so calm when seeing her. On the contrary, since she was so calm, then it was nothing.

So she felt relieved. After spending two days with Xiang Nan in the United States, she took the time to return to Xiangjiang.



"Ghostbusters" continues filming.

At the same time, Xiang Nan also came up with a second movie project - "Back to the Future".

The "Back to the Future" trilogy is one of the most classic IPs in Hollywood in the 1980s. It not only achieved box office results of nearly one billion US dollars, but most importantly, it has also become a part of American culture.

For example, the current auction price of each pair of Nike shoes in "Back to the Future 2" is 810,000; "Back to the Future 2" sets the future time as October 21, 2015. This day is also called "Back to the Future Day" by movie fans, and a very grand celebration was held.

Even the U.S. presidential election used the lines of the characters in the film to promote it, which shows how successful this movie is.

Xiang Nan would naturally not miss such an opportunity to make a fortune.

The "Back to the Future" project was quickly recognized by the industry, and even Disney Pictures wanted to invest in this movie.

You know, Disney is very prudent in its investments. If it is not fully sure of making money, it will never spend real money.

Throughout the 1980s, Disney did not produce a few movies. It always focused on making remakes of its own animated IPs.

Although it missed many opportunities, it also avoided losses. Therefore, throughout the 1980s, Disney's financial situation was the healthiest.

Unlike Paramount, Columbia, Universal, Fox and other companies, which are almost bankrupt due to losses.

Xiang Nan finally chose to cooperate with Fox Pictures.

The reason is simple. Only Fox Pictures agreed to the conditions he proposed.

His condition is that he wants a 15% share of the box office, and videos, games, peripheral products, etc. also account for 10% of the revenue.

This kind of revenue ratio puts him almost on an equal footing with the six major film industry giants. Naturally, except for Fox Pictures, which is in the worst operating condition, no giant agreed to such bold conditions.



In January, "Police Story 2" was released during the Spring Festival.

Although it is a sequel, "Police Story 2" is not inferior in any way to the first one, and it does not seem to be a continuation of the past.

Moreover, because of my confidence in Xiang Nan, the investment in this movie was larger and the scenes were more intense. There were two big explosion scenes, one bombing a supermarket and one bombing a factory, both of which are rare big scenes in Hong Kong movies.

Therefore, its box office is still very good, reaching a total of 27 million Hong Kong dollars before stopping, almost breaking the 30 million record. This is also the envy of other artists in Hong Kong.

Especially Liu Jiaban and Yuan Jiaban, who were pretty good before, were all dumbfounded when they saw Xiang Nan filming like this.

Like Xiang Nan, they were both involved in kung fu movies before. Since their investment was only a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, the scenes were very small and the competition was nothing more than fists and kicks. Whoever can fight better will be more likely to get angry.

But now Xiang Nan fights for both boxing and spectacle. Even if he can fight better than him, but the spectacle is not as big as his, it will not be easy to get high box office. Just like Liu Jialiang's hard-working "Eighteen Martial Arts", which did not even have a box office of five million. Take it down.

As a result, their life will be difficult.

The less popular their movies are, the less companies dare to invest money in them. The less money they have, the less they can make good movies to compete with Xiang Nan.
