1899 [Mission Impossible]
Subsequently, many movies started shooting one after another.
The main actor in Xiang Nan's "Mission: Impossible" is Jon Voight, who is also the father of the great beauty Angelina Jolie. However, the relationship between father and daughter is not very good.
Because Jon Voight divorced his wife when Julie was just one year old, and also gave up custody of their daughter. Father and daughter do not have frequent contact, and they are not much different from familiar strangers. .
There are also black movie star Ving Rhames and French movie star Jean Reno. He played a cold and reckless killer in the movie "Nikita", which was very brilliant.
And his most classic role is none other than "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" co-starring with Natalie Portman.
As for the heroine, she is Jennifer Connelly. She stars in "Sleepless in Seattle" which will be released soon, and this movie will make her another box office star in Hollywood.
Moreover, Xiang Nan needs a heroine who looks innocent on the surface, but is actually a cunning femme fatale who betrays her colleagues. Jennifer's image of an innocent and beautiful girl is perfect for this role.
In addition, for the supporting actress, Xiang Nan chose the British beauty Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is a stage actress. Although last year's debut film "Beauty Magic Lamp" did not do well at the box office, it still made the film industry pay attention to this sexy woman. Gorgeous beauty.
…
While the film was being prepared, "Sleepless in Seattle" starring Tom Hanks and Jennifer Connelly was officially released in February.
Tom Hanks is now the top box office star in Hollywood, starring in "Mermaid", "Future", "The Last Day", "Pretty Woman", "When Harry Met Sally", etc. , are all good movies that received critical acclaim and box office success, and are therefore deeply loved by movie fans.
Although Jennifer Connelly's performances in movies are less successful at the box office, her appearance is highly recognized by the audience. Her current situation is a bit like Liu Yifei back then. She has appearance and acting skills, but she has not found a suitable work for her. .
After the movie was released, it was well received by the audience.
On the one hand, its story is really warm and romantic. Two lonely souls meet through air waves and finally come together in circles. It is both romantic and legendary, and it is really innovative.
On the one hand, Tom Hanks' meticulous acting skills and Jennifer Connelly's pure and lovely appearance also make people willing to believe that this fairy tale is true.
Although this kind of thing is extremely unlikely to happen in real life, it is precisely because of this that the audience hopes to dream in the movie.
The final box office performance of "Sleepless in Seattle" was very impressive, with a box office of US$120 million in North America and a global box office of US$220 million.
This movie, as Xiang Nan expected, allowed Jennifer Connelly to successfully break away from the shackles of a child star and become famous.
Usually actors who are child stars will face the problem of transition.
Because when child stars grow up, their appearance and temperament will change, and they will lose the charm of their childhood. If they fail to transform in time, they will lose the love of the audience.
Like Hao Shaowen, Jin Ming, Macaulay Culkin, Xiao Binbin, etc., they are either cute or naughty, and they are all very popular.
But when you grow up, your appearance is no longer outstanding, and you are no longer suitable for being cute or naughty, so it will be difficult to be popular again.
Fortunately, Jennifer Connelly has been so beautiful and has such a pure temperament since she was a child. Therefore, her transformation path is easier.
…
In March, the Academy Awards officially take place.
Xiang Nan and Jennifer Connelly walked the red carpet together to promote the new film "Mission: Impossible".
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women really attracted a lot of attention.
"Jennifer, look here, look here~"
"Charles, look here, look here~"
The reporters kept cheering at them, which even made Jennifer Connelly feel flattered.
Before this, she had not received such high courtesy on the red carpet.
The reason is also very simple. Hollywood has never lacked beauties. Even though Jennifer Connelly is already the head of the beauty industry, in the eyes of reporters, she is still not as good as Barbra Streisand, Meryl Streep, and Susan
·Stars such as Sarandon are charming.
Now that she has become a popular star in Hollywood with "Sleepless in Seattle", she has truly won the respect of the industry. Otherwise, people look at her like they look at a vase.
"Charles, thank you." Jennifer secretly said gratefully.
Without Xiang Nan arranging for her to star in "Sleepless in Seattle", she would never be as popular as she is now.
"You're welcome. You're mine, and what's mine is yours," Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Hearing what he said, Jennifer smiled even more happily.
…
At the subsequent awards ceremony, "Dances with Wolves", "Born on the Fourth of July", "Pretty Woman", "Speechless", "Dangerous Days" and several other dramas almost won these awards.
They were all rounded up, and they took turns going up to the stage to receive their awards.
The big winner was "Dances with Wolves", which won multiple awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, and Best Film Editing.
Michelle Pfeiffer won an Oscar for her subversive performance in "Dangerous Days" and won the title of Best Actress.
Such results can be said to be quite good. Xiang Nan, who invested in these movies, naturally became the biggest winner tonight.
Especially the most valuable Best Picture Award, it is even more heavy. This is also the second Best Picture Award he has won.
At the party after the award ceremony, everyone came to congratulate Xiang Nan.
"Charles, congratulations~", "Charles, congratulations~", "Charles, I really envy you~"
Everyone complimented one after another.
At this time, a lady smiled and said, "Charles, I heard that you are currently preparing a play called "The Bodyguard", which tells the love story of a female singer and her bodyguard. I think I am qualified for the role.
And it can be considered a genuine performance, what do you think?"
Xiang Nan looked at her in surprise, only to see that she was none other than the most popular singer in the American music scene, Madonna Ciccone. She debuted in 1982, and her first album sold 2.8 million copies in 1983.
.
"Like a Virgin", released in 1984, sold more than two million copies in one month, and sold more than 80,000 copies in a single day, setting a new record in the music industry.
In the following years, her records were very popular and her popularity soared. She has become a pop queen and a cultural symbol.
