1927 [Dream Factory]

Xiang Nan then walked the red carpet with Jennifer Aniston.

"Charles, do you and Jennifer have a new movie to collaborate on?" Upon seeing this, the host immediately asked curiously.

"Yes, Jennifer will be the heroine of my new movie." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Then I really have to congratulate her." Upon hearing this, the host immediately congratulated, "What is the story of the new film? Can you briefly reveal it?"

"Not yet." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I can only say that I will play a prisoner this time."

"Wow, that's really a breakthrough." Hearing what he said, the host said in surprise.

Xiang Nan has played either a police officer or an agent before, a more positive role. In this movie, he plays a prisoner, which is really eye-catching.



At the subsequent Oscars, "Schindler's List" undoubtedly became the biggest winner.

It has won a total of eight awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Original Score. It can really be called a

Returned with a full load.

But Xiang Nan is not jealous, because he knows that next year's Oscars will be his time to show off his prowess.

"Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Philadelphia Story", "Jurassic Park"... are all favorites to win awards.

Therefore, at the party after the awards ceremony, he heartily congratulated Spielberg.

"Steven, I really want to congratulate you. Unfortunately, it was too late when I got the news. Otherwise, I would have definitely invested in this movie," Xiang Nan said.

"If you invest, I'll definitely welcome it." Spielberg nodded, "How is the filming of your "Jurassic Park" going?"

"Only the special effects are left. I think it will be good if it can be released during the Christmas period." Xiang Nan said with a smile. With the current special effects technology, it is really not an easy task to make the dinosaurs look lifelike.

"To be honest, if I hadn't started filming "Schindler's List," I would have taken over your movie," Spielberg said regretfully.

"Jurassic Park" is one of the few movies that can inspire his creative interest. Unfortunately, "Schindler's List" means more to him, so he can only choose to miss it.

"It doesn't matter, we still have the opportunity to cooperate." Xiang Nan smiled, "If you are interested, I can leave it to you to direct "Jurassic Park 2"."

"Okay, let me take a look first." Spielberg nodded, "By the way, I intend to start a production company. I hope we can cooperate more in the future."

"Okay." Xiang Nan agreed immediately, but he was wondering in his heart, could the company he wanted to start be the famous DreamWorks?!

If so, then you really have to hold on tight. Because it is a company that specializes in hit movies, such as "Shrek", "Cat and Mouse", "The Terminal", "Transformers", "Iron Armor"

"Steel Fist"...

According to statistics, within 20 years of its establishment, it has produced 30 movies with a box office of over 100 million. Such achievements have to be said to be legendary.



Xiang Nan subsequently finalized two projects.

One is the new film "The Professor" by African-American movie star Eddie Murphy, and the other is "A Time to Kill" directed by Joe Schumacher.

Eddie Murphy became famous in his early years on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" and quickly became popular with his outstanding comedy talent.

In 1984, he starred in "Beverly Hills Cop", which grossed US$240 million at the box office in the United States alone, ranking first in the annual box office rankings, making him the hottest African-American star in Hollywood.

After that, he starred in "Golden Boy", "Beverly Hills Cop 2", "Coming to America", "Harlem Nightclub", etc., all of which also achieved very good box office and are basically included in the annual box office. Ranking top ten.

However, in the 1990s, movies such as "48 Hours", "The Killer", and "The Slippery Man" starring Eddie Murphy suffered box office failures one after another.

The audience criticized Eddie Murphy's performance for being the same and lacking any new ideas, so they did not want to see his performance again. Eddie Murphy fell into a career crisis because of this, just like Sylvester Stallone, because he did not change. , and therefore were eliminated by the changing market.

After all, from 1984 to 1994, theater audiences had changed two generations.

Seeing this, Eddie Murphy is also considering a transformation. This movie "The Fat Professor" is his latest idea. It tells the story of a professor who has an inferiority complex because he is too fat and painstakingly researches weight loss drugs.

In the end, the drug was successfully developed. After taking it, the professor lost a lot of weight and became a charming and popular lover. Even goddesses who were unattainable in the past took the initiative to date him.

But unfortunately, the effect of the medicine is unstable, and the professor's obesity will rebound at any time, switching back and forth between fat and thin, which triggers a series of farce.

In the end, the professor realized that a person's heart is far more important than his appearance.

Xiang Nan had seen this movie before and thought it was quite interesting, so he agreed to invest in it.



Joe Schumacher debuted in the 1980s and is one of the well-known directors in Hollywood. His famous works include "St. Elmo's Fire", "To Catch the Elf", "The Twilight Zone", "Keep Your Lover", etc. .

He directed the later famous or infamous "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin". Because of the disastrous box office failure of "Batman and Robin", Warner did not dare to make any more superhero-themed movies for eight years. .

However, this does not mean that Joe Schumacher is a vain director. In fact, his director level is very high, but he is not suitable for directing superhero movies.

He later directed "Sniper Phone Booth", "Heroes in the City", "Phantom of the Opera", "The Client", "The News", "8mm", "The Flawless", "Tiger Company", etc. to great reputation and box office success. Pretty good.

This "A Time to Kill" is also considered his masterpiece.



After the Oscars, Xiang Nan began to prepare for "Prison in the Sky" and his relationship with Jennifer Aniston became increasingly close.

As the contact deepened, Xiang Nan felt more and more that Jennifer Aniston was a lovely girl. Not only was she beautiful and slim, but she also had a simple and kind personality.

No wonder she was hailed as America's sweetheart after she became famous in "Friends" and has remained popular for 20 to 30 years. This is a rare phenomenon in Hollywood.

Because the pressure of competition here is very high, no matter how popular an actress is, her period of popularity only lasts a few years. For example, Meg Ryan was one of the most popular actresses in the 1990s and starred in "Sleepless in Seattle". "Electronic Love Letter", "The Heartless Earth Has Love", "City of Angels", "Life and Death", etc., are all movies that were both well-received and well-received.
