house.
In order to save their home, the couple specially hired a prankster from the underworld to scare the family away. However, they did not expect that the mage actually fell in love with the daughter of the family...
Most of the pornographic movies in the past were about being cruel and harmful to people, and the people were kind-hearted, but the evil ones were terrible.
But "Beetlejuice" goes in the opposite direction. The Xins follow the rules, do their duty, and are honest. On the contrary, the people are evil-hearted and bully the Xins and want to drive them out of their homes.
This setting is very novel. Coupled with the battle between wizards and humans, as well as the love between people in different ways, it is both scary and funny, terrifying and touching, so the audience likes it very much.
The final box office was 73 million US dollars, which also made Winona Ryder an instant star. Her innocent and charming appearance and extremely spiritual acting skills made the industry shine.
…
Entering December.
"Speed" starring Xiang Nan and Courtney Cox is officially on the Christmas season.
This movie is a thrilling and extremely hot action movie. It tells the story of Jack, a special police officer, who was retaliated by criminals after stopping an explosion.
He placed the bomb on the bus. Once it started, the speed of the bus could not be reduced to 50 miles, otherwise the car would explode. At the critical moment, Jack had to risk it all alone and board the bus to detonate the bomb.
In the end, he successfully rescued all the passengers, captured the criminals, and successfully gained love.
Xiang Nan has played many police officers before, such as Chen Jiaju in "Police Story", John McClane in "Die Hard", Martin Rigg in "Lethal Weapon"... In the eyes of the audience, he is just like a policeman.
Professional account.
However, "Speed of Life" still brings a lot of freshness to the audience. It has a tight rhythm, climaxes one after another, and is full of suspense. You will not be able to breathe until you watch the end.
The level of tension and excitement is higher than that of "Die Hard" and "Lethal Weapon", which naturally makes the audience hooked.
Therefore, the box office of "Speed" is really good, with a box office of US$180 million in North America, further consolidating Xiang Nan's position as a top star.
Moreover, Xiang Nan has played the role of a police officer three times, and the three roles are all different. Xiang Nan's acting skills have also been further demonstrated and won widespread recognition in the industry.
…
"Charles, you are so awesome. In the past six months, every one of your movies has been so successful. You can earn at least 100 million US dollars." Halle Berry said to Xiang Nan enviously.
She makes a film and her salary is only half a million US dollars. She is exhausted all year round and earns up to two million US dollars, which is completely incomparable to Xiang Nan.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he smiled slightly.
One hundred million US dollars is a huge underestimate for him.
In 1988, he made almost three billion U.S. dollars in a year. Especially in high-tech companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Cisco, Oracle, and Adobe, the stock prices have soared in the past year, causing the stocks he holds to increase in value significantly.
Now it has increased several times.
"Don't be envious. As long as you follow me, I will make you rich." Xiang Nan smiled.
Hearing what he said, Halle Berry was naturally excited and hugged Xiang Nan tightly, "Then I will rely on you from now on."
Xiang Nan nodded.
…
In January **, "The New Father-in-Law" was released.
This movie is both a romance film and a comedy. It tells the story of a daughter who controls her father and faces various embarrassments when her daughter gets married. It is both funny and heartwarming.
Therefore, the box office of this movie is also very good. The North American box office is 89 million US dollars, giving Xiang Nan another good start.
In January, the Golden Globe Awards are also officially held.
Both Xiang Nan and Halle Berry specially returned to the United States to participate.
On the one hand, "Rain Man" won so many awards at the Golden Globe Awards last year, so in return, Xiang Nan always wanted to attend and show his respect.
On the one hand, "Dead Poets Society" is a favorite to win awards this year, nominated for four awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Director.
Although Xiang Nanlianzhuang's chances of winning Best Picture and Best Screenplay are not great, it is still worth a try.
Xiang Nan and Halle Berry walked the red carpet together.
The two of them are so talented and beautiful that they captured a lot of the photographer's film in an instant.
"Charles, your production of "Dead Poets Society" was shortlisted for four awards. How many awards do you think you can win?" the host asked with a smile in the interview area at the end of the red carpet.
"If possible, I certainly hope to take them all." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But I also know that the opponents I face are relatively strong. So I still keep a humble heart and I will like whatever you give me."
"Too modest. In my opinion, you will definitely not come home empty-handed today." The host smiled.
"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded.
"When will the "Cosmic Dragon" collaboration between you and Ms. Berry be completed?" the host asked curiously.
"I guess it will be almost March. This is a science fiction blockbuster, with an investment of up to 60 million US dollars, so we shot it more carefully and more delicately." Xiang Nan nodded.
"I hope I can see your masterpiece soon." The host nodded, "By the way, "The Order of the Eagle" starring Jie Jicheng was released last month and the box office was only 8 million US dollars. What do you think?"
Xiang Nan was stunned, he really didn't know about this.
But eight million US dollars is indeed not much.
"It's normal, everyone loses sometimes." Xiang Nan then said, "It's normal for Hollywood to have its ups and downs, and no one can guarantee that he will always win. I believe in Jie Ji's strength, he will definitely be able to stand up again."
"But you never seem to fail." The host said with a smile.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "I may be very lucky and blessed by God."
…
Entering the awards hall, Xiang Nan and Halle Berry took their seats in the front row.
Afterwards, the awards ceremony officially began, and many awards were awarded one after another.
Xiang Nan didn't care about this. He was discussing the sequel to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" with Nicole Kidman.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was such a hit that it would be impossible not to make a sequel.
Xiang Nan has already thought about the story of the sequel, which is expected to start filming in April or May and be released in January next year.
Nicole Kidman naturally welcomes the sequel.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" gave her the confidence to become a Hollywood first-line movie star. She was the only heroine in a masterpiece with a box office of 130 million US dollars. All the light converged on her, making her uniquely favored.
In the sequel, she is still the heroine, and she is still shining brightly. How could she miss such a good role.
"Well, after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, let's find time to talk slowly." Xiang Nan said in a low voice.
Chapter completed!
