"What beautiful celebrities are there in the city recently?" Xiang Nan asked Wang Jing.

"Weng Meiling and Chen Yulian from Wireless are pretty good, Ni Shima from Lido, Hu Guanzhen and Hu Huizhong from Taiwan are also pretty good." Wang Jing introduced, "Also, Xia Wenxi and Ye Tong from Tan Jiaming are both pretty good."

Xiang Nan nodded.

Except for Hu Guanzhen and Ni Shihua, whom he was not familiar with, he was quite familiar with the others.

All things considered, Xia Wenxi is more in line with his requirements.

Xia Wenxi debuted in 1982 and starred in "Youth on Fire". Because the scale was too large, it caused controversy after it was released. It was withdrawn by the censorship office and re-edited.

This is the first time in the Hong Kong film industry.

Her debut film was so generous, which is quite rare in the Hong Kong film industry. Because of this, Xia Wenxi became an instant hit and successfully made a name for herself in the film industry.

Xia Wenxi's appearance is pure yet coquettish, ascetic yet seductive. She is perfect for playing the role of a con man who uses her beauty trap.

Xiang Nan then extended an invitation to Xia Wenxi.

Naturally, Xia Wenxi would not refuse and immediately agreed.

As a result, the filming of "Best Partner 2" officially started.

At the same time, in the United States, "Back to the Future" was also officially filmed.

…

In May, the crew of "Food Truck" finally returned from Spain.

They stayed there for more than half a year, although due to Spanish inflation and the appreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, they saved some expenses.

However, there are hundreds of people in the crew, and the cost has risen to 15 million Hong Kong dollars, which is higher than the investment in Xiang Nan's "The Best Partner 2". Therefore, Jiahe is worried about losing money.

Jackie Chan was naturally a little worried about this.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ning, my requirements were too high, which resulted in cost overruns." He first admitted his mistake to Xiang Nan.

Many shots were obviously shot very well, but he felt that they could be shot even better and strive for excellence. Because of this, a lot of time was wasted and a lot of expenses were increased.

Originally, the film was planned to be shot in four months, with a total investment of HK$10 million. As a result, it took seven months to shoot, and the cost increased by HK$5 million.

"Okay, no need to say this. It is very common for movies to overrun, as long as the box office can be recovered. In other words, if the box office cannot be recovered, then your apology is worthless." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said,

"Aaron, you have to remember this. For a filmmaker, making money is the most important thing. I can gain a foothold in Hollywood because I can help them make money. Otherwise, how could they allow a Chinese to be arrogant?"

Whether in Hollywood or Hong Kong, capital controls everything. Capital pursues profits. If you don't make money, you will be quickly abandoned by capital.

Sergio Leone, the director who directed the famous "The Last Day", was abandoned by Hollywood because of the box office failure of "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​and died of depression;

Kevin Costner, whose representative works include "Dances with Wolves," "JFK" and "The Bodyguard," won the Academy Award for Best Director at the age of thirty-five. It can be said that his future is infinitely bright.

But because of the box office failure of "Waterworld", he never recovered and lost the favor of all Hollywood giants.

There are many similar examples in the entertainment industry.

After hearing this, Jackie Chan nodded solemnly.

…

At the end of June, "Food Truck" was officially released.

Two fighting celebrities, heroine Laura Fana, Binny Uquidez and Keith Vitali, were also invited to Hong Kong to promote the film.

When they learned that Xiang Nan was currently in Xiangjiang and filming the new movie "The Best Partner 2", they all offered to come and visit her at work.

To them, Xiang Nan is a world-class superstar, who is on the front line in Hollywood. They rarely have the opportunity to meet such a celebrity. If they are lucky enough to go to Hollywood with him in the future, that would be really great. Already.

You know, Steven Seagal is now starring in B-level movies in Hollywood just because he acted with him in "The Last of Us". Regardless of the salary or fame, it is far beyond what they could get from filming "Food Truck".

Jackie Chan stayed with them in Spain for several months, and they have become good friends.

After hearing their request, I naturally found a way to satisfy it.

So, the next day, with Xiang Nan's consent, he took a few people to the filming site of "The Best Partner 2".

"Charles, it's really an honor to meet you." Binnie, Keith, and Laura said excitedly when they saw Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan smiled and shook hands with them one by one, "You're welcome. You are Aaron's friends, and that's my friend."

Everyone was happy to hear what he said.

To be regarded as a friend by such a big star, even if it is just polite words, is enough to make them excited.

"You guys sit down first, I'll go filming, and we'll have a drink together in the evening." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Everyone nodded.

This time, in addition to getting to know Xiang Nan, they also wanted to see how he films.

…

Xiang Nan then got up and came upstairs.

With a sound of action, Xiang Nan jumped out of the balcony, and then his body fell rapidly.

Seeing this scene, Jackie Chan, Benny, Keith, and Laura were so frightened that they screamed.

Fortunately, most of the Xiangjiang movies are dubbed behind the scenes, and there are very few live recordings. Otherwise, they would have to be reshot.

But after Xiang Nan jumped down, he grabbed the balcony of the next floor with both hands and slowed down immediately. Then he acted in sequence, and in a moment, he jumped from the upper floor of more than ten floors to the downstairs, back and forth. Only thirty seconds.

"OK, cut!" Director Liu Guanwei shouted.

Jackie Chan and others applauded sincerely.

Xiang Nan's actions may seem simple, but they are actually extremely difficult and dangerous.

He fell from the upper floor. Each floor is about three meters high. Under the influence of gravity acceleration, his speed will reach about eight meters per second.

With such speed and weight, using only one pair of arms for buffering, the instantaneous impact force may reach nearly 1,000 N, which is far beyond the ability of ordinary people. And if you are careless, if you miss, you will die if you fall. There is no second chance. possibility.

Therefore, this kind of action is really difficult and simply unimaginable.

But Xiang Nan looked relaxed and didn't take it seriously at all. Naturally, they all admired this courage and strength and couldn't help but applaud.

Money overwhelms the hands of slaves, but art overwhelms ordinary people.

In fact, Binny, Keith and others are a little dissatisfied with Xiang Nan. After all, they are world-class champions, and they are genuine players.

Although Xiang Nan said he could open stone tablets with his palm, no one knew whether it was true or not. It might be magic. Therefore, they all had some doubts in their hearts.

But now that they saw this scene, they were really convinced.
Chapter completed!
