Entering 1995, in January, the movie released by Universal Pictures was "Alone".

It tells the story of a baby who was kidnapped by a bad guy and not only escaped from the tiger's mouth by mistake, but also tortured the three bad guys until he was embarrassed and bruised. It can be said that in terms of hilariousness, it is definitely no worse than "Home Alone".

Sure enough, after the movie was released, the theater burst into laughter, and the audience was so amused that they laughed from ear to ear. And everyone also thought that the baby was very cute, no better than McCaw from "Home Alone"

Leigh Culkin was poor, so they all bought into it.

In the end, "Alone" was a great success, with a box office of US$180 million in North America and nearly US$400 million worldwide.

In comparison, Macaulay Culkin's "Little Rich", which was released on the Christmas season, had a box office of less than 30 million U.S. dollars. However, the production cost of this film was as high as 50 million U.S. dollars. Macaulay alone

The salary for one person is as high as eight million US dollars.

In comparison, the total cost of "Back Alone" was only fifteen million US dollars. Therefore, Macaulay Culkin obviously lost this battle.

Moreover, in view of the fact that his other two movies released in 1994, "The Little Devil" and "The Great Sage of Space and Time" also had poor box office and reputation, the outside world is lamenting that the glory of this former golden boy has gradually dimmed.

.

In fact, you can't blame him.

After Macaulay became famous with "Home Alone" in 1990, his parents began to regard him as a cash cow. Not only did they ask for high salaries from the film company, but they also filed a divorce lawsuit to monopolize Macaulay.

Profitable income.

As a result, the lawsuit lasted for several years, and violent revelations were exchanged, which not only hurt Macaulay's feelings, but also damaged his image.

In addition, his parents served as his agents and the family-run operation was profit-seeking and short-sighted. They were unable to provide Macaulay with the best career plan, which resulted in his acting career becoming narrower and narrower.

You must know that Macaulay Culkin was already fourteen years old in 1994. After his second growth, his face has matured, and his cuteness has declined compared to a few years ago.

Moreover, his age is between a teenager and an adult. It is actually a bit contrary to play the naughty child as before. However, his parents still let him continue to act as a child. He is cute and clever on the screen, which is no longer very popular with the audience.

Happy.

In this regard, Xiang Nan could only sigh.

In fact, no matter which region a child star is, no matter how popular they were back then, they will all face the reality that they will no longer be popular when they grow up.

It's okay for child stars in the Mainland. After all, the social environment is not bad. Even if they don't develop when they grow up, the result will not be too bad. At most, they will just not be popular.

The environment in Hollywood is so bad that child stars can easily fall into depravity. Smoking, drinking, smoking... people will soon become useless.

For example, Edward Furlong played the young O'Connor in "Terminator 2", River Phoenix played the young Indiana in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Drew Barrymore in "et", and "The Perfect Match"

Lindsay Lohan’s…

…

In January, Xiang Nan made an appointment with Claudia Schiffer.

Claudia Schiffer was born in 1970 and became a model at the age of seventeen. After that, she quickly became popular with her exquisite facial features and proud figure. She also won the favor of Chanel Lafayette Karl Lagerfeld and became a model.

His royal model.

This move made Claudia Schiffer more and more famous. Two years after her debut, she was ranked among the top five supermodels along with Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell. She was also named the most beautiful in the world by People magazine.

One of the fifty people.

In addition to being famous, Claudia Schiffer is also very capable of attracting money. She earns more than 8 million US dollars per year and is one of the highest-paid models.

Moreover, her business is not only modeling and endorsement, but also has developed into the film and television industry in recent years.

In "Rich Rich" starring Macaulay Culkin, she guest-starred as an aerobics teacher. Although the movie did not perform well at the box office, Claudia Schiffer's cameo still sparked a wave of topics

.

That's why Xiang Nan noticed her.

"Hello, Claudia." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.

"Hello Charles, it's a real honor to meet you." Claudia Schiffer said with some fear.

Although she is one of the top five supermodels, this is just hype. Supermodels like her are actually mass-produced. Well-known designers like Karl Lagerfeld can just hand them out in batches.

And just like Karl, Xiang Nan can easily win the stars.

Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Connelly, Michelle Pfeiffer...these well-known and world-famous superstars were all made famous by Xiang Nan.

.

So in front of Xiang Nan, she naturally kept her posture very low.

"Don't be nervous, please take a seat~" Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I invited you here today mainly because I have a play that I want you to act in. I just don't know if you are interested?"

"Of course I'm interested." Upon hearing this, Claudia nodded immediately.

Being a star is better than being a supermodel. Even a second-tier Hollywood movie star is much better than being a model.

On the one hand, celebrities are more popular. The exposure of being a model is limited. Unless you are interested in fashion, most people will not know the model's first and last name.

On the one hand, celebrities have higher incomes. Claudia is considered the top model, and her annual income is only about 8 million US dollars. She still has to walk in shows, take photos, and attend various commercial events every year.

Only then can you earn it.

In comparison, top Hollywood movie stars can earn tens of millions of dollars per movie. For someone like Xiang Nan who participates in box office sharing, it is not unusual for a movie to earn US$100 million, which is enough for her to work for ten years.

Even a second-tier movie star in Hollywood can earn tens of millions of dollars a year through salary, advertising endorsements, and commercial catwalks.

It seems that Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn, Charlie Sheen, etc. are all considered second-tier movie stars. They can star in some low- and medium-cost movies, and can also play major roles in large-scale productions, and they are somewhat popular and well-known.

For example, their annual income is tens of millions of dollars, and they all live a very prosperous life.

"Okay, the name of this play is "Dumb and Dumber", and the story is like this..." Xiang Nan then briefly explained the story of "Dumb and Dumber".

This is a comedy starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Dennis. It tells the story of two bad-minded brothers who were accidentally involved in a kidnapping case. In the end, they succeeded with their incredible luck.

Turn danger into safety...
