Xiang Nan also remembered the great beauty Naomi Watts after seeing the movie "Mulholland Drive".

In "King Kong" released in 2005, she played the role of Annie, the beauty who turned all living beings upside down and fascinated King Kong. Of course, it was not only King Kong who was fascinated, but also Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan hopes that she can star with him in "Mission: Impossible 3", playing the role of Ethan Hunt's fiancee Julia. He believes that Naomi's appearance and acting skills can definitely support this role.

Naomi Watts was naturally excited after receiving Xiang Nan's invitation.

In all conscience, the movie "Mulholland Drive" has collapsed at the box office. An investment of US$15 million resulted in a box office of US$20 million, causing the company to lose at least US$9 million.

It would have been better if such a failed work did not bring down her. She did not dare to hope that she could turn around. But she did not expect that because of this movie, she actually received an invitation to cooperate with Xiang Nan, and would also

She plays his fiancée and the most important heroine in the film.

After hearing the news, Naomi Watts couldn't believe her ears.

"If you want to become popular, you will definitely become popular. Charles, this is simply luck from heaven~" Her agent hugged her and shouted excitedly.

Naomi was naturally even more excited. When she walked to the red carpet, her excitement still didn't calm down.

"Charles, thank you." She said excitedly to Xiang Nan.

"You have thanked me countless times." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "That's not necessary. I invited you because you are suitable for this role. So if you want to thank me, just thank yourself. If you really want to thank me, then

Work hard and don't let me down."

"Don't worry, I will definitely work hard." Naomi said firmly.

This is her best opportunity. If she fails to seize it, there will really be no place for her in Hollywood.

…

Subsequently, the award ceremony was officially held.

Xiang Nan doesn't pay much attention to awards.

Because he announced his permanent withdrawal from the selection for the Best Screenplay Award, although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was qualified to enter the selection for the Best Adapted Screenplay, he was not shortlisted in the end.

Therefore, the only thing he is likely to win is the Best Foreign Language Film Award.

Therefore, he did not pay attention to the awards ceremony, but was chatting with Naomi Watts, Zhang Ziyi, Li An and others next to him.

"Director Li, have you decided what to shoot for your next film?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.

"I haven't got a clue yet." Li An waved his hand and said with a smile.

After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became a hit at the box office, Li An received many invitations, including both commercial films and literary films, with a variety of themes, which dazzled Li An.

And the remuneration is also very considerable. It can be said that as long as he agrees to direct, he can make a lot of money in a short time.

However, in the face of temptation, Li An could still hold his own. He knew that his status was hard-won. If he made random movies, he would probably make two or three bad movies and lose both box office and reputation.

He was abandoned by Hollywood.

This kind of case is not uncommon in Hollywood.

He must control his greed, maintain his original intention, and continue to make good movies, so that he can maintain his status.

Just like Xiang Nan, with his popularity and status, it doesn't matter if he makes a few more bad movies. But he still doesn't relax his requirements. He strives to be new and ensure quality in every work. That's why he became famous from the 1980s to

Now.

Therefore, he is very picky about his next movie and would rather not make it if there is no good script.

"I have an idea, you can consider it." Xiang Nan smiled, and then told him the story of Frank Abagnale.

Frank Abagnale is a well-known fraud master in the United States. He has been a fraudster since he was sixteen years old. He has impersonated teachers, doctors, lawyers, pilots, etc., and forged checks to defraud millions of dollars. He has become dozens of fraudsters. The country's most wanted criminal.

Although he could not escape the law in the end, his legendary experience is still talked about.

Especially after he was released from prison, not only did the mouse turn into a cat, cooperating with the police to catch fraudsters, but he also participated in designing anti-counterfeiting checks, and collected millions of dollars in patent fees every year.

His transformation from a prisoner to a winner in life is even more enviable. Therefore, he is considered a legend in the United States.

"I think his experience is very suitable for being made into a movie, what do you think?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.

After listening, Li An nodded.

Frank Abagnale's experience is indeed legendary. However, if we only filmed his deception methods, it would be just an old-fashioned deception movie and would not be surprising.

But if you delve deeper into his mental journey behind committing fraud, it will be different. Why a talented and talented young man embarked on a dangerous criminal path is naturally something worth pondering.

"Mr. Ning, I think so too." He said to Xiang Nan with a smile.

"Then it's settled, I'll give you the script later." Xiang Nan smiled.

…

Not long after the two ended their conversation, it was time to present the award for Best Foreign Language Film.

The award guest was Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz, whose movie "All About My Mother" she starred in last year also won the Best Foreign Language Film Award.

"The winner of the Best Foreign Language Film Award is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," congratulations to Charles~" Penelope Cruz announced loudly.

Immediately, amidst thunderous applause from everyone, Xiang Nan stood up gracefully, hugged Naomi Watts and Zhang Ziyi beside him, and pulled Li An to the podium together.

Xiang Nan took the trophy from Penelope and then handed it to Li An, "Thank you to all the judges and fans for your support of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and to all the cast and crew in front of and behind the scenes, especially Thanks to Director Li An beside me, without him there would not be such a good movie, thank you~"

After speaking, he stepped aside and gave the stage to Li An.

"I don't take Mr. Ning's words seriously. The reason why "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has won everyone's favor depends on Mr. Ning's script and the efforts of all the cast and crew in front of and behind the scenes. I am very honored to work with him. Such teamwork." Li An also said with emotion, "I also hope that through this movie, everyone can learn more about Eastern culture, and I hope to be a messenger of cultural communication between the two places, thank you~"

After delivering their acceptance speeches, the two returned to the stage with the trophy.

"Director Li, you can take this trophy home." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I already have several at home."

"Mr. Ning, thank you very much." Li An said happily after hearing this.

He has been nominated for several Academy Awards before, but this is the only time he actually won the award. For him, it is really precious and has great commemorative value.
