1831 [Lethal Weapon]

Although Carol knows that Xiang Nan has many successful works, such as "Die Hard", "Ghostbusters", "The Kid", etc., which have created extremely high box office results.

However, those were basically commercial films, and they were blockbusters, but their artistic level was not high, and Carol didn't like them. So although Xiang Nan's talent was high, she didn't really recognize it.

Just like Wang Jing, although he has so many box office and word-of-mouth works, when people mention him, their first reaction is still shit, bad movies, and vulgarity!

However, after she watched "Fallen Angels", Carol suddenly changed her mind.

Xiang Nan's script is so well written, and the love-hate entanglement between men and women in the mortal world is vividly and meticulously written. She has been in the industry for nearly ten years, and she has never seen such a good script.

There was a sudden impulse in her heart. If Xiang Nan tried to persuade her to stay again, she would nod her head and agree to stay.

However, what made her regretful was that Xiang Nan did not try to keep her until she entered the boarding gate.

"Charles, if you want me to stay, then I am willing to stay for you." Carol couldn't hold back and turned to Xiang Nan and shouted.

"No need, I hope you want to stay on your own." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.

Carol shed tears, she could hear Xiang Nan's pride.

He had already shown his kindness to her when he asked her if she wanted to pursue a career in Hollywood, but it was a pity that she rejected this kindness. He was so proud that he would not mention it a second time and give people another chance to reject him.

Carol did not choose to stay in the end because she was also a proud woman.



After the completion of "The Best of Us 3", Xiang Nan went to the United States to prepare for three films: "Top Gun", "Back to the Future 2" and "Spring Is Not a Day to Study".

After arriving in Hollywood, Xiang Nan received a large number of invitations.

Banks want to talk to him about investment, film studios want to talk to him about cooperation, artists want to talk to him about casting...

However, Xiang Nantong refused.

Because this kind of social interaction is the most irritating. Although Xiang Nan is good at dealing with people, he prefers to stay alone unless necessary.

Furthermore, he has already finalized the three projects in his mind.

Then accept someone's invitation and discuss cooperation with them, which makes him feel like cheating people out of food, money, sex, and ostentation.

However, since every movie produced by Xiang Nan is a hit, all the artists participating in the performance can become popular, such as Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael J. Fox, Leigh Thompson, Kim Cattrall, Tom Hanks,

Daryl Hannah and more.

Therefore, all the artists in Hollywood now want to cooperate with him. Even the top superstars are no exception. After all, no one cares if they become more famous.

Therefore, the male and female protagonists of the two dramas "Spring is Not a Day for Studying" and "Top Gun" have become battlegrounds for military strategists, and the competition is extremely fierce.

Even if Xiang Nan refused to socialize, a large number of people would still come to visit, either recommending themselves or recommending others.

What's more, he went directly to the hotel where he was staying, opened the door through some unknown means, and lay down directly on the bed. He bluntly said that if she was given a role, then she would be his. There was even a man among them.

Although Xiang Nan was not afraid, being harassed by others made him feel depressed. Therefore, in order to avoid being disturbed again, he made a prompt decision and announced the candidate for the main role.

Among them, "Top Gun" stars Tom Cruise and Michelle Pfeiffer, and "Spring Is Not a Reading Day" stars Nicolas Cage, Mia Sara, and Jim Carrey.

Mia Sara is the goddess of a generation of Chinese people. In the 1980s and 1990s, the movies she starred in appeared in CCTV's Zhengda Theater many times, so she was called the goddess of Zhengda.

Xiang Nan has watched her starring role in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and was amazed. Moreover, her appearance in "Spring Is Not a Day to Study" was also quite stunning and very watchable.



"Charles, the heroine of "Spring Is Not a Reading Day" should think about it again." Agent Wilson advised, "Diane Lane is willing to reduce her salary to star."

Diane Lane was one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood in the 1980s. At the age of thirteen, she was selected by Francis Coppola, the director of the "Godfather" trilogy, to star in "Betta" and "The Outsider".

Unfortunately, subsequent development has been somewhat sluggish. This is also related to her vision in casting. Several big projects have offered her an olive branch.

Even "Longwei Boy", which Xiang Nan once starred in, offered her an olive branch. However, she refused and took on several movies such as "The Desperate Little Mandarin Duck" and "Dangerous Woman".

As a result, several movies all lost money and their reputation was in shambles.

Hollywood is the most realistic. No matter how many representative works you have in the past, as long as you cause your boss to lose money, there will be no place for you here.

When Diane Lane was at her most popular, she was comparable to Hollywood's top tier, but now she can be considered a second tier at best. Although she is still popular, if there are no more suitable works, she will soon be out of date.

After all, competition in Hollywood has always been fierce. It's like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

"Diane Lane?!" Xiang Nan frowned, but finally waved his hand.

Although she is also very suitable for this role, Xiang Nan still thinks that Mia Sara is more suitable. After all, the filter of the original work is causing trouble. When he thinks of the heroine, Mia Sara appears in his mind.

"Diane Lane is not bad, but the female lead has already been decided, and there is no role for her. If she is willing to play, let her play the male lead's sister. That role also has a lot of scenes." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said.

"Then I'll discuss it with her." The agent nodded.

Subsequently, Diane Lane took over the role of the male protagonist's sister, and "Spring Is Not a Reading Day", "Top Gun" and "Back to the Future 2" soon began filming.

Xiang Nan himself also came up with a new project "Lethal Weapon".

This movie, originally starring Mel Gibson and Danny Groff, tells the story of a pair of police partners who take down a drug syndicate.

Compared with other police movies, this movie is more realistic and thrilling. Especially the male protagonist is crazier than John McClane. He has tried to commit suicide many times, so he got the nickname "Lethal Weapon".

After the film was released, it was well received. Not only did it earn hundreds of millions of dollars in box office, but it also made Mel Gibson famous and officially established a foothold in Hollywood.
