In September, Xiang Nan made an appointment with Anne Hathaway for coffee.

Anne Hathaway was born in 1982. She is currently studying at Vassar College, a prestigious American school, majoring in English and minoring in women's studies. When she was in school, she loved drama performances very much. She starred in the stage play "Golden Dust" and also won the The Rising Star Award is awarded once to reward outstanding newcomers.

In 1999, she officially entered the film and television industry and starred in her debut film, an American drama with a family comedy theme, "The Greens".

Although the series had a good reputation, unfortunately the ratings were so poor that it was canceled after only one season. However, Anne Hathaway still won the second Teen Choice Award for her performance in this series. Her nomination for Best Television Actress also made her initially famous in the industry.

"Princess Diaries" is her second movie. For her, this movie, which invested 30 million US dollars and was written by Xiang Nan himself, is undoubtedly a big pie from heaven.

In fact, she never expected to star in Xiang Nan's movie. After all, there are too many girls like her in Hollywood, and she didn't even expect to be able to rise to the top in one fell swoop.

I just hope that I will keep my feet on the ground, develop step by step, and grow into an actor like Meryl Streep and Susan Sarandon in the future.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan actually selected her to be the heroine of "Princess Diaries", which made her famous overnight and rose to prominence, becoming the most anticipated new star in Hollywood.

Therefore, she felt as if she was in a dream these past few months, which was somewhat unreal.

But seeing Xiang Nan in front of her today, she felt it was even more unreal, so by some mistake, she reached out her hand and touched Xiang Nan.

…

Xiang Nan was stunned. He hadn't even taken action yet, but someone had taken advantage of him.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Anne Hathaway sneer and say, "I'm not dreaming, it's actually true."

"Why, do you think you are dreaming?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile, "Am I that unreal?"

"No, of course not." Annie waved her hands quickly, "I just didn't expect that one day, I would sit with you."

"To be honest, I didn't expect it either." Xiang Nan smiled.

If he hadn't traveled to this world and achieved such great achievements in advance, it would have been impossible for him to have dinner with Anne Hathaway.

"Mr. Charles, I haven't thanked you for letting me star in "The Princess Diaries"." Anne said respectfully, "This is really an honor for me. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome. It's because you are suitable for this role that I will arrange for you to play." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "The person you have to thank should be yourself."

"No, no, without your support, no matter how suitable I am, I won't have a chance." Annie waved her hands repeatedly.

There are so many actors who are suitable for the role of "The Princess Diaries", and she knows countless of them. Many of them are more beautiful and famous than her.

It can be said that if it weren't for Xiang Nan's appointment, this role would never have been hers.

"You know it's a good thing to be grateful. I also like people who know how to be grateful." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

Many celebrities in the entertainment industry are ungrateful. They think that they can become popular solely because of their own strength. Therefore, once they become popular, they immediately start to become arrogant and arrogant.

Seeing Xiang Nan say this, Annie smiled even sweeter.

"If you perform well, I will arrange for you to star in good movies in the future." Xiang Nan said again.

"Okay, I will definitely satisfy you." Annie nodded immediately.

She knows that "Princess Diaries" can only make her famous for a while, but it cannot make her reap dividends for a lifetime. If she wants to remain popular, she must continue to produce new and good works.

The most outstanding producer in Hollywood is Xiang Nan, and no movie he produces is a hit. Therefore, she is looking forward to working with Xiang Nan again.

…

In the following September and October, Universal Pictures released "Collision" and "The Trap" one after another.

"The Great Collision" is the same as "The Great Tribulation". They both tell the story of an asteroid impacting the earth and humans being forced to save themselves. However, although the stories are similar, the styles are quite different.

"The End of the World" is a work by Michael Bay. It has a fiery and exciting style that makes the audience almost breathless. Their blood vessels are pumping, their hormones are soaring, and they are hooked.

"Collision" is the work of Mimi Ryder. She is a female director, so the style of this film is more delicate and realistic.

In this movie, the impact of a planet on the earth is not the point. The point is the reaction of people from all walks of life under the disaster, which reflects the good and evil of human nature, bravery and cowardice, true love and falsehood, steadfastness and betrayal, dedication and demands.

Therefore, this movie has a global box office of 350 million US dollars. Although it is not as good as "The Last Day", it is more memorable.

…

"The Trap" is an action film starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sean Connery. It tells the story of a pair of male and female thieves who took advantage of the brief computer downtime of the millennium to rob the World Bank.

This commercial film combines many commercial elements such as treasure theft, cops and robbers, fighting, chasing, etc., plus the trendy concept of "Millennium Bug", to form an extremely refreshing popcorn blockbuster.

Although Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sean Connery are 40 years apart in age, the love between young and old in the film is still very harmonious and a perfect match, which has also become a major selling point.

Therefore, in the end, the box office in North America was US$110 million, and the global box office was as high as US$250 million. Compared with the cost of US$66 million, it can be said to be a great success.

…

In October, Xiang Nan finished filming "The Matrix 2" and then left for Hong Kong.

Before heading to Xiangjiang, he received good news from ATV.

After the unremitting efforts of ATV's management, the mainland finally agreed that ATV would launch in the Pearl River Delta through the Guangdong Cable Cable Company. As a result, ATV's viewing audience increased by more than one million.

This is really great news for ATV. Therefore, everyone at ATV is very excited.

The wireless guy next door almost went crazy when he saw this.

After all, the mainland market is much larger than that of Hong Kong. The population of 1.2 billion is hundreds of times that of Hong Kong, and the annual advertising expenses amount to tens of billions of dollars.

After ATV lands in the Pearl River Delta, its annual advertising revenue is expected to reach more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Coupled with local revenue in Hong Kong, ATV's revenue and expenditure will be balanced and even profitable.

In this way, ATV will be more confident and its programs will be more sophisticated, which will lead to higher ratings. Sooner or later, ATV will surpass TVB and become the Napoleon of Hong Kong TV.
