1917 [True Friends]
Xiang Nan took Catherine Zeta-Jones on the red carpet, immediately making her the focus of the media.
Countless spears and cannons were aimed at her, allowing Zeta Jones to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention.
This was something she would never have experienced when she was a stage actor in the UK, and she loved and was obsessed with this feeling.
"Charles, you and Catherine are walking on the red carpet. Could it be that you have a new collaboration?" the host asked curiously.
"Yes, my new film will use Catherine as the heroine." Xiang Nan explained with a smile.
"What type of movie will it be?" the host asked immediately.
"It's a romantic literary film." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I won't go into the specific story content. In short, I assure you that it will be a very exciting and beautiful movie."
"Then we'll start looking forward to it." The host nodded.
…
Subsequently at the Golden Globe Awards, "Terminator 2" and "Scent of a Woman" indeed won many awards. Especially "Scent of a Woman" won the best picture and best actor in the drama category. The protagonist won two awards and became the biggest winner of this game.
It's a pity that the Golden Globe Awards have a tradition of dividing pork. Although Xiang Nan was shortlisted for the Best Screenplay Award, he ultimately lost to Michael Tolkien's "The Players". However, being able to win the Best Picture Award has already made Xiang Nan Nan was very happy.
It is worth mentioning that the new drama "Friends" that Xiang Nan participated in the production last year was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Musical Comedy Series this year, but unfortunately it lost to "Rose End".
This drama series started airing in 1988 and was produced for nine seasons. It was not announced until 1997 that it was finished. Whether an American drama is popular or not can be determined by the number of seasons it has been produced.
The more popular a work is, the more profitable it is, so the production company and TV station are less willing to end it.
For example, "Friends" lasted for ten seasons. If the actors didn't really want to star in it, it wouldn't be a problem to continue filming for another five or six seasons. "The Big Bang Theory" lasted for twelve seasons, but the lead actor didn't want to do it anymore. "Two and a Half Men" also ran for twelve seasons, and "24" ran for eight seasons, and then was restarted and filmed for two more seasons...
Therefore, "Rosewood" can be produced for nine seasons, which shows that this drama is really popular. As a newcomer, "Friends" can compete with such a popular drama for the best musical comedy series. It's a very remarkable thing.
It is worth mentioning that Johnny Galecki, who plays Leonard in "The Big Bang Theory," and Laurie Metcalfe, who plays Sheldon's mother, both star in this show.
…
At the party after the Golden Globe Awards, the big winner Xiang Nan received the most congratulations and made other attendees envious.
After Xiang Nan exchanged pleasantries with them, he met the other five leading actors of "Friends" under the introduction of Courtney Cox.
Although the five of them have different personalities, they are all relatively easy to talk to. They have been working together for half a year and have gotten along very happily. They have truly become friends with each other.
This is actually rare in the history of American dramas. Many actors may seem to be working very happily together on screen, but privately they regard each other as enemies.
For example, the male and female protagonists of "The Book of Secrets", Nathan Fillion and Steiner Caddick, are lovers in the show, but in real life they are attracted to each other and hate each other.
So much so that the heroine Steiner Kadik resolutely quit in the eighth season, which made the originally good series come to an end, which is really a pity.
"I'm really happy to meet you." Xiang Nan smiled and said to them, "Actually, you may not know that I personally selected all six of you."
Hearing what she said, the six of them were a little excited.
Xiang Nan is one of the most outstanding producers in Hollywood. Every year, the films he produces are box-office successes and have good reputations. Almost none of his films is a failure.
And the artists he selected will basically become famous in the end. For example, Michelle Pfeiffer, Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Brad Pitt...
Since the six of them were also selected by Xiang Nan, they will definitely become famous, which naturally makes them very happy. After all, except Courtney, the other five are basically transparent now, even the third-tier
Not even that.
"Really, Charles, thank you~" Lisa Kudrow said excitedly.
"Yes, thank you very much for choosing us." David Hume also said gratefully.
"You're welcome." Xiang Nan smiled, "I heard from Courtney that you two have a very good relationship in private. This is a good thing, and you should work hard to maintain it.
I hope you can be friends not only in the show, but also in real life. Believe me, this will be beneficial to you."
The six leading actors of "Friends" are all friends on and off screen, which gives the audience the best viewing experience.
Because the reason why many people watch "Friends" over and over is not because of how funny the show is.
To be honest, after watching any comedy dozens of times, when all the stories, all the lines, and all the performances are familiar by heart, it will be difficult to be as hilarious as when you first watched it. Even watching a new drama, the number of times you laugh will increase.
More.
The reason why many people watch this drama repeatedly is because they have regarded these six leading actors as their friends, hoping to gain friendship and love from the drama that are difficult to find in real life.
Therefore, if they are good friends in the drama and in real life, it will bring more healing feeling to the audience.
"We will work hard." The six people said one after another.
…
Xiang Nan subsequently finalized two projects.
One is the American drama "The X-Files", which tells the story of detectives Scarlett and Mulder investigating mysterious incidents together.
This TV series is quite famous in the history of American dramas. It combines UFOs, urban ghost stories, science fiction, conspiracy theories and many other elements into one. It is bizarre and fascinating, so it has won the love of countless die-hard fans.
Even years after the show ended, fans are still creating fan versions of "The X-Files" scripts on forums, which shows how much they love the show.
The other one is the movie "Philadelphia Story", which tells the story of lawyer Andrew who was fired from the law firm because he was found to be crooked and loved the sick patients. For this reason, he found lawyer Joe to seek justice for himself...
In the early 1990s, homosexuality and AIDS were still relatively taboo topics in the United States. There were very few films and TV dramas that dared to directly address this area, and everyone ignored it intentionally or unintentionally.
And this "Philadelphia Story" is the first film to directly deal with AIDS, which has extraordinary significance. But because of this, many film companies have doubts about investing in it. So much so that the script has been written for more than two years and has never been released.
to invest.
