1955 [poor response]

But no boss likes people with two minds.

She can betray once, and she can betray twice.

So Yang Jingru deliberately followed Xiang Nan's words, and as expected, Xiang Nan liked to listen.

"Girls like you are rare these days." Xiang Nan smiled again, "It's rare, it's rare. If I were the boss of ATV, I would definitely train you well."

"Mr. Ning, you are so grateful." Yang Jingru waved her hand and said, "My parents have taught me since I was a child that to be a human being, one should be grateful, and a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. I have always remembered this sentence to this day."

"Okay, it's not only a good character, but also a good tutor. It's really rare." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I just have to stay in Xiangjiang for a while. If you are willing, how about staying with me and helping me relieve my boredom?"

Yang Jingru was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile, "Of course I am willing. It is also good to learn knowledge from you and broaden your horizons."

Xiang Nan also smiled and nodded.



After staying in Xiangjiang for half a month, Xiang Nan took Cong Shan back to the United States peacefully.

At this time, Universal Pictures was releasing the movie "Made in Heaven" starring Lindsay Lohan.

The story tells the story of a pair of twins who were separated due to their parents' divorce after they were born, but the two later met at a summer camp.

Due to similar looks and similar personalities, the two quickly became good friends and learned that they were twins and learned about their parents' lives after they separated. Then they decided to exchange each other's lives and work hard to bring their parents back together... …

This is a romantic comedy film adapted from the 1960s movie "Daddy Loves Mom". In it, Lindsay Lohan not only plays two roles, but also plays each other in the film, which is equivalent to playing four roles.

Just like Pan Yueming's performance in "White Night", he not only has to play the elder brother and the younger brother, but also plays the younger brother pretending to be the elder brother, and the elder brother pretending to be the younger brother.

Pan Yueming was unanimously recognized by the audience because of his excellent performance. Lindsay Lohan was only eleven years old when she filmed this movie, but she was already able to complete it very well, which shows her high talent.

Moreover, she is not only talented in acting, but also very beautiful and sweet. Therefore, she not only impressed the hearts of industry judges and won the Best Young Actress Award at the Art Rookie Award, but also won the hearts of the audience.

In the end, the North American box office of "Made in Heaven" was more than 60 million US dollars, and the global box office was nearly 100 million US dollars. For a movie with a cost of only 15 million US dollars, this result can be said to be quite good.

And this movie is Lindsay Lohan's debut. Such good results in her debut made her become the most watched child star in the United States.



In March, Universal Pictures released the movie "Titanic" directed by James Cameron and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.

Last year, Xiang Nan spent US$100 million to take over this movie from Fox Pictures. After that, he invested more than US$80 million to finally complete the filming of the movie.

This movie also set a record as the most expensive movie in Hollywood, with a shooting cost of US$210 million, which is much higher than the box office of most movies.

If Xiang Nan hadn't known how terrible the box office of "Titanic" was, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk. You know, he is now regarded by everyone in Hollywood as being taken advantage of.

After all, James Cameron's previous best result, "Terminator 2", only had a global box office of US$520 million. Therefore, "Titanic" is likely to cause Xiang Nan to lose money, and Xiang Nan is also likely to lose money this time.

Encountered Waterloo.

Since he has never failed in his investments before, many people were waiting to see the joke this time.



Sure enough, after "Titanic" was released, the initial box office response was not good.

The box office on the first day was only 10 million US dollars. In comparison, "Batman and Robin", which was released on Christmas last year, had a box office of 20 million US dollars on the first day.

Therefore, the media, who were not too concerned about the excitement, began to ridicule the movie, Xiang Nan, and James Cameron, thinking that they would lose their pants this time.

"With a shooting cost of US$210 million and a publicity cost of US$50 million, Universal Pictures is expected to create the largest loss record in film history!"

"Poor Leonardo, so young and handsome, with a bright stardom, is likely to sink into the deep sea with this big ship. Just like Chris O'Donnell."

"Charles, the ever-victorious general, encountered his Waterloo. Although for him, a loss of 200 million US dollars is absolutely bearable. But I think the shareholders of Universal Pictures will never think so."

Film critics are making wild claims in the media.

There are many bosses in this world who are red-headed and white-haired, who hate wealth and poverty. Especially Xiang Nan, who has been popular and prosperous for seventeen years since he filmed "The Dragon" in 1981. Naturally,

It makes many people envious and jealous.

Because of this, when I see him having bad luck, they naturally rush to watch the show and say weird things.

However, Xiang Nan ignored them.

Because he knows that the movie "Titanic" itself is a slow movie. In real life, when it first started, its performance was not very good.

But as time went by, the box office of this movie increased instead of decreasing, and finally it stayed at the top of the list for fifteen consecutive weeks, which was equivalent to all the movies in those four months being shrouded in its shadow.

This is why Xiang Nan chose to schedule its release in March. If it had been scheduled for the second half of the year, many of Universal Pictures' movies that should have been big hits might have been crushed by it.



Sure enough, as Xiang Nan expected, the box office of "Titanic" in the first week was not amazing, only more than 30 million US dollars, ranking fourth in the box office rankings.

You must know that most of the movies released in March are low-cost literary films, and the box office is not high. Therefore, "Titanic" ranking fourth is not only not worthy of honor, but also a bit pitiful.

This also made it suffer more ridicule and ridicule. Universal Pictures' stock price also began to fall. Within a week, the stock price fell by nearly 20%.

Based on a market value of US$30 billion, if the market value is 20%, US$6 billion will evaporate out of thin air. This naturally makes the outside world laugh.

"If a movie loses a Fox, James Cameron has created the biggest tragedy in film history."

"Fox Pictures was really smart. Not only did they get rid of the blame in time, but they also took back 100 million. Poor Charles, he thought it was an opportunity, but it turned out to be a trap."

"Fox Films shareholders should really award Bill a gold medal. He saved Fox Films from the brink of bankruptcy in a timely manner." (Bill Kelmaker is the CEO of Fox Films).

Not only newspapers and magazines ridiculed it, but even talk shows on radio and TV stations used it as a topic to ridicule. This made Cong Shan afraid to turn on the TV for a while, for fear of irritating Xiang Nan.

But she was obviously over-worrying. Not only was Xiang Nan not angry, he was also actively preparing for a new movie project and had no time to deal with those people.

Because he has confidence in "Titanic", confidence in James Cameron, and even more confidence in Leonardo DiCaprio.
