2044 [Frugality to raise morality]
In July, Universal Pictures released Xiang Nan's movie "Fast and Furious 5" as usual, telling the story of Don's gang and the US government cooperating to eliminate mercenary organizations.
Compared with the previous works, this movie has bigger scenes, more thrilling actions, and more difficult tasks, so it is naturally more enjoyable to watch.
And this is enough for the audience. After all, this movie is positioned as a passionate popcorn movie, so it cannot force too much.
As long as the audience feels the passion and pleasure within the two hours of watching the movie, this is enough. If you have to argue whether the logic is fluent and whether the rules are consistent, it is just killing a pig and stabbing the butt, and you are wrong. place.
Whether a movie is good or not, ultimately, the market has the final say. The North American box office of "Fast and Furious 5" was US$280 million, and the global box office was US$780 million. Such results show that the "Fast and Furious" series is still successful. .
…
In July, Xiang Nan also completed the filming of "The Rescue" and returned to Hollywood.
However, the movie itself has not actually been completed yet. There are still other people filming, and it is estimated that it will not officially wrap up until August.
The main reason why Xiang Nan wants to come back is because Shanshan is about to give birth, so Xiang Nan wants to come back to stay with her.
But before that, he had hired a personal doctor, nutritionist, nanny, nanny, etc. for Shanshan to ensure that she would receive 100% care.
Even so, Shanshan still hopes that he can stay with her.
Xiang Nan understood her mood, so he hurriedly and slowly finished his part of the drama, and then rushed back to the United States as soon as possible.
Finally, in mid-July, Shanshan gave birth to a healthy baby girl in the hospital.
However, because she was an advanced maternal age, the delivery process was very dangerous and could be regarded as a narrow escape. Therefore, when she learned that she had just given birth to a daughter after all the hard work, she was very unhappy and thought that she had not given birth well.
"Why is it a daughter? Why is it a daughter? I have always dreamed of giving birth to a son." She was unwilling to accept it at all. She was not even willing to hold the baby. "Brother, this is not our child. The nurse must have held it wrong." .You go look for it again, I gave birth to a son."
"Okay, you are the only pregnant woman in the whole hospital today, so it is impossible to hold her in the wrong position." Xiang Nan comforted her and said, "Actually, my daughter is also very good. Haven't you heard that saying, my daughter is good, my daughter is wonderful, my daughter is Mom’s little cotton-padded jacket. Don’t dislike her, after all, she gave birth to her.”
"But I obviously want to have a son." Shanshan said dissatisfied.
"Okay, don't be angry. Actually, I like my daughter better. My daughter is so cute and obedient, unlike my son, who is naughty and can make people mad.
Don't worry, you helped me give birth to my daughter. It's not too late for me to be happy." Xiang Nan knew her mentality and comforted her with a smile, "Look, this is my gift to you mother and daughter. Come on, I'll give it to you. Bring it with you."
Xiang Nan took out two gifts. One was a gold longevity lock, which was hung on his daughter's body. The other was an jade necklace, which was hung on Shanshan's neck.
Seeing that Xiang Nan was really not angry, Shanshan felt better.
"By the way, I named my child Ning Jian, which means frugality. As the old saying goes, tranquility is used to cultivate one's character, and frugality is used to cultivate virtue. Laozi also said that I have three treasures. One is diligence, the other is frugality, and the third is not daring to do anything. The world comes first.
It is difficult for a child from a family like ours not to be rich and powerful. But if the child is not well educated, the richer he is, the more he will suffer. So I hope that my daughter will cultivate her moral character, so that we parents will have peace of mind. Do you think so?
Okay?" Xiang Nan said.
Shanshan nodded.
…
After Ning Jian was born, Xiang Nan walked more frequently.
He still likes this daughter very much.
The little guy's nose and eyes are as follows. The nose is high, the eyes are big, and the eyes are double eyelids. He looks very energetic. The mouth and chin are as small as Shanshan, and the chin is pointed, which makes him look more delicate.
It was still a little dark when he was born, but after a few days it turned white, the little guy's pink jade bracelet looked like a small porcelain doll, which Xiang Nan naturally liked.
…
Entering August, "Jurassic Park 6" will be released.
This movie is the final chapter of the "Jurassic Park" series. In this movie, humans find a way to eliminate the alien dinosaurs and finally end this human catastrophe.
However, due to the catastrophe of alien dinosaurs for many years, the earth has become devastated and full of ruins. Humans and the remaining dinosaurs must coexist on these ruins and strive to rebuild their own homes.
So this is not the end, but a new beginning.
"Jurassic Park 6" is the last part of the series, so in order to play the emotional card, the actors who have survived the settings of the previous films have returned one after another.
After it was released, many former movie fans came to the theater to watch the movie and say goodbye to their youth.
When the first movie was released, those born in the 1980s were still children. Now, those born in the 1980s are all adults, with the oldest group being thirty years old.
Therefore, the "Jurassic Park" series is simply their youth, and those vivid dinosaurs are their best memories of that year.
Therefore, money has a price, youth is priceless, and memories are priceless. Therefore, many movie fans went to the theater to watch it out of sentiment. This also made "Jurassic Park 6" a box office hit.
In the end, the North American box office was 370 million US dollars, and the global box office was nearly 1 billion US dollars. Such outstanding results also brought a perfect end to the "Jurassic Park" series.
Tang Wei also gained a lot of limelight due to his performance in this movie. Although he has not completely turned over, his situation is much better than before.
…
In September, Xiang Nan made an appointment with Gal Gadot.
Gal Gadot is a Hebrew. She won the title of Hebrew beauty pageant champion at the age of 19. She joined the army in the same year and retired two years later to enter the entertainment industry.
But her path was not smooth.
Because today's Hollywood is already dominated by the second generation of celebrities and the second generation of rich people.
For example, Jaden Smith starred with his father in "The Pursuit of Happiness" when he was still a child. At the age of ten, he partnered with Jackie Chan in "The Kung Fu Dream" and became the most promising star in Hollywood.
It is very, very difficult for a beautiful woman like Gal Gadot, who has no background, no wealth, and only one beauty, to get ahead in Hollywood.
Therefore, she has been developing in Hollywood for more than three years. So far, she has not starred in any movie, but only played some small roles in film and television dramas.
So when she learned that Xiang Nan asked her to meet, she rushed over immediately.
"Hello, Mr. Charles, it's really an honor to meet you." She said very respectfully.
"Don't be so nervous, just relax." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I invited you here today because I want you to play a role."
"Really?! That's great." Jiaduo was extremely excited after hearing this.
Chapter completed!
