Xiang Nan stayed in Xiangjiang for about half a month before returning to Hollywood.

In November, Universal Pictures' price tag reached $6.3 billion.

It seems that Panasonic continues to offer high prices, which is why Universal Pictures has such sufficient confidence.

In December, "The Condor" starring Jim Carrey was released.

The film started preparations in March, was completed in August, and was released in December.

The movie "The Condor" is mainly a spoof of "Top Gun". "Top Gun" became a smash hit after it was released that year, not only a box office hit, but also a huge reputation.

In particular, the scene of Tom Cruise flying a fighter plane in the blue sky is so cool that after the movie was released, the number of people signing up to join the U.S. Air Force tripled. This shows its great charm.

The essence of spoof films is to deconstruct classics. For example, "The Great Detective" deconstructs 007, "Westward Journey" deconstructs "Journey to the West", and "East to West" deconstructs Jin Yong's classic martial arts...

"Top Gun" is a classic movie and has such great influence in the United States, so it naturally became the target of parody.

Originally, this movie was starring Charlie Sheen, who was a Hollywood star at that time. He became famous in Hollywood with "Platoon", "Wall Street", etc.

In addition, he has a big star father, Martin Sheen, and his eldest brother Emilio Estevez, who is also an actor and director, so everyone thinks that Charlie Sheen's future is bright.

However, he is a typical example of someone who plays a good hand to pieces. He eats, drinks, gambles and smokes, and is addicted to all five kinds of drugs. His life is extremely absurd. He once tried to spend 50,000 US dollars and invite 27 women to his home for a party at the same time.

Because his life was too decadent, he contracted the AIDS death syndrome, which scared half of Hollywood and went to the hospital for a check-up.

Xiang Nan has no objection to Charlie Sheen, but rather than praising him, he naturally wants to praise someone who is closer to him.

Jim Carrey has worked with him many times and has a very good relationship with him, so if there is a good opportunity, he is naturally willing to give it to Jim Carrey.

Jim Carrey is great at acting in comedies, and his talent is much higher than that of Charlie Sheen. Therefore, his performance in "The Condor" had better laughs and made the audience laugh from ear to ear. Therefore, Popular.

In the end, "The Condor" grossed US$82 million, making it one of the best-grossing movies during the Christmas period.

Jim Carrey also became Hollywood's top comedy star with two blockbuster movies in one year.

On Christmas Day, Xiang Nan accompanied Cong Shan, and his son spent a peaceful and happy Christmas together.

January is here, and it’s time for the Golden Globe Awards.

This year, Xiang Nan has many films nominated for awards, such as "Dances with Wolves", "The Hunt for Red October", "Speechless", "Born on the Fourth of July" and "Pretty Woman", etc.

There are three films shortlisted for Best Picture alone. However, there are only five films shortlisted for this award, so Xiang Nan is proud of this alone.

And he also participated in this awards ceremony, and finally won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture in the Drama Series for "Dances with Wolves".

In addition, Kevin Costner won the Best Director Award, Michelle Pfeiffer won the Best Actress Award, and Michael Blake won the Best Screenplay Award. It can be said that he returned home with a full load.

At the party after the awards ceremony, Xiang Nan met Winona Ryder again.

"Charles, you've already missed my appointment twice. When are you going to buy me your coffee?" Winona Ryder looked at Xiang Nan and said coquettishly.

Xiang Nan had made an appointment with her to have coffee before, but he kept missing the appointment, which made her feel very embarrassed.

When Xiang Nan heard this, he smiled awkwardly.

He wanted to ask Winona for coffee, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Especially last year, when the family had a new baby, he had to take care of Cong Shan, so he really couldn't find a suitable time.

"I'm really sorry. In this case, I will definitely find time to treat you, okay?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Do you want me to be missed again? I won't give you another chance." Winona Ryder said firmly.

"If I say that I have a very good script and I hope you can star in it, what would you say?" Xiang Nan laughed.

Hearing what he said, Winona Ryder's eyes lit up, "Okay, then I'll give you another chance."

"Thank you." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.

At the party, Xiang Nanyou invested in two projects.

One is "The Stars" written by Mike Myers, a popular SNL mainstay.

Moreover, if Xiang Nan remembers correctly, this guy once starred in the "Austin Powers" series. He played the spy Austin Powers, who is probably the meanest spy on the big screen. Since he has also starred in... A popular movie, that means he still has some talent.

Another project is a TV series - "Baywatch", which is Joey and Chandler's favorite show in "Friends".

This TV series was originally broadcast on NBC, but it was canceled by NBC after only one season. However, the producers felt that this series still had potential, so they solicited investment from various sources in order to keep the project.
