"I wonder if you are interested in going to Hollywood." Xiang Nan asked with a smile.

"Of course, I'm happy to." Ni Ni said in surprise after hearing this.

How many first-tier mainland movie stars want to go to Hollywood, so why wouldn't she want to go? But to go to Hollywood, you need capital and the support of noble people.

Now is the opportunity, so she is naturally willing.

"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, "The movie I ask you to shoot is called "Pacific Rim". It will be a science fiction action movie, very exciting."

He then briefly told the story of "Pacific Rim". This is a science fiction story about humans building huge mechas to fight against the invasion of alien monsters.

When this movie was released that year, it caused a huge sensation, especially among male audiences.

After all, every boy has a dream of mecha, and he is passionate and willing to fight to the death with invading enemies. That's why "Ultraman", "Transformers", "Armor Warrior", etc. are so popular.

After Ni Ni heard the story, she felt very shocked.

The "Transformers" movie series has been very popular in recent years. Even if the reputation has dropped again and again, it still does not prevent it from filming a fourth movie. "Pacific Rim" has a similar theme to "Transformers", so I believe it will also be popular.

What's more, this movie is produced by Xiang Nan, and it must be a high-quality film. After more than 30 years of debut, he has almost never failed in a film. She has great confidence in him.

"Mr. Ning, your story is really good. I feel very honored to be able to star in this movie." Ni Ni nodded and said, "I will definitely work hard."

"Very good." Xiang Nan nodded, "But you do need to work hard. At the very least, your English pronunciation must be passable. Because Hollywood filming requires the use of original voices.

I don’t want you to stumble when you say your lines. When the time comes, it will not only embarrass you, but it will also embarrass me.”

Most mainland artists are not good at cultural subjects. A score of 300 or 400 points in the college entrance examination is considered good. For ordinary students with such scores, they can only go to college.

English is also a cultural class. Mainland artists speak English. Unless they have the experience of studying abroad, most of them speak so-so, with deficiencies in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.

"Yes." Ni Ni nodded immediately.

"Let's go to the United States as soon as possible. In that context, you will learn things faster." Xiang Nan said again.

Ni Ni nodded. Although she still has a lot to do in the mainland, she decided to put down everything she was doing and go to the United States to finish filming "Pacific Rim".

Although her actions will cause certain losses, she believes that as long as she finishes filming "Pacific Rim", all those losses can be made up for.

…

Xiang Nan then returned to Hollywood, and Ni Ni arrived in Hollywood three days later to join him.

Xiang Nan arranged for a teacher to teach her English and let her receive a period of combat training. Because she was going to play the role of a heroic female mecha operator, poor skills were not enough.

Also training with her is French actress Léa Seydoux. She will play the Bond girl Eve in the next "Skyfall". She is not only Bond's lover, but also Bond's assistant.

, independent, resourceful, brave.

In addition, Xiang Nan also invited Japanese female artist Satomi Ishihara to play the role of a developer of Japanese mechas in "Pacific Rim". This invitation caused an uproar in Japan.

Because it is very rare for Japanese artists to come to Hollywood to film.

Although there are many Japanese elements in Hollywood movies, such as "Kill Bill", "Wolverine 2", "The Last Samurai", "Memoirs of a Geisha", "Lost in Translation", "Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift" and so on,

But there are only a few Japanese artists who can gain a foothold in Hollywood, such as Ken Watanabe and Devon Aoki.

The reason for this is that Japan's film industry has declined as early as the late 1970s. Since then, there have been basically no films with world-class influence, and naturally there have been no artists with world-class influence.

Just like the Hong Kong film industry, when it was booming, it could still produce internationally influential artists such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, Maggie Cheung, Yang Ziqiong, and Jet Li. Now with the decline of the Hong Kong film industry, there is no longer a Hong Kong film industry. Movie stars can become famous internationally.

Satomi Ishihara then also received English and fighting training together with Léa Seydoux and Ni Ni to prepare for the filming of "Pacific Rim".

…

Xiang Nan then made an appointment with Melanie Laurent for coffee.

Melanie Laurent was born in 1983. She is a French actress, young and beautiful, with refined temperament and amazing acting skills. She has starred in "I'll Get Well", "Inglourious Basterds", "Round Up", etc., and has won the French She won the César Award for Best New Actress and received multiple nominations at the Cannes Film Festival. She is a very talented and very likeable actress.

Xiang Nan noticed her not because of these movies, but because of her "Hainanese Chicken Rice" starring Sylvia Chang in 2005. In the film, she played a romantic, passionate, quirky French exchange student, beautiful, innocent , loves life, has different views on things, and is very charming.

"Miss Luo Lan, it's an honor to meet you." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "How are you doing? Did the filming of "Now You See Me" go smoothly?"

"It went very well. Mr. Charles, thank you for inviting me to star in this movie." Melanie smiled, "Your script is really well written. I like this story very much. Can I ask you how you came up with the idea of ​​writing this story? Is it? What are the sources of inspiration and creativity?"

Melanie herself has also been a director, made some short films, and was nominated for an award at the Cannes Film Festival. She is a talented woman.

"It's very simple, because I am also a magic enthusiast myself." Xiang Nan smiled, then placed a spoon in the palm of his hand, looked at Melanie and said, "Pay attention, watch carefully, the following is the moment to witness the miracle. .One, two, three~ change!”

He then threw the spoon into the air, and when Melanie looked up, she saw that the spoon was gone.

"Huh?! Where did he go?" she asked doubtfully.

"You touch the left pocket of your coat." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Melanie stretched out her hand in confusion and found a spoon. "It's really here. How did you do that?" she asked in surprise.

Xiang Nan smiled and said, "This is magic. It won't be interesting if you expose it."

In fact, he just took advantage of Melanie's distraction when she looked up to look up and quietly stuffed the spoon into her pocket. He was proficient in the art of stealing and his hands and feet were agile, so naturally he would not be noticed by her.
