In March, it’s time for the Oscars.

"The Martian" released by Universal Pictures last year is a favorite to win awards this year. It has been nominated for a total of eight awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects and many other awards.

However, there are also popular movies such as "The Shape of Water", "Three Billboards", "Get Out" and "Call Me by Your Name" at this year's awards ceremony, so whether "The Martian" can win the award?

Not really sure.

But no matter what, Xiang Nan politely went there. And the final result was indeed what he expected. "The Martian" received none of its eight nominations, making it the most disappointing film at the Oscars in 18 years.

Fortunately, its box office performance was pretty good, so it can be considered a lost cause and a lost cause.

…

In April, Xiang Nan began to prepare for the filming of "Rescue 3", which is also the last part of the series.

Zhou Dongyu returns again, partnering with Xiang Nan and Cong Shan.

After two previous cooperations, Cong Shan liked this girl very much and thought she was smart, clever and cute. She was also ready to match her up with Ning Jing, but was stopped by Xiang Nan.

Living in an environment like domestic entertainment, no matter how innocent your background is, it will be tainted. Besides, Zhou Dongyu is of little help to Jingjing.

What the son needs is someone who can help him in his career, preferably a political bigwig or a business celebrity, or at the worst, an academic tycoon.

After all, Xiang Nan left him too many resources, and he was not as capable as Xiang Nan. It would be difficult to maintain such a large foundation without joining forces with other forces.

As for Zhou Dongyu, apart from being somewhat famous in the mainland, he has nothing else and is really not suitable to introduce to his son.

When Cong Shan heard what Xiang Nan said, she had no choice but to give it up. But she still liked Zhou Dongyu very much.

…

In May, "Midnight's Children 2" was released.

It tells the story of Blade, Ghost Rider, Morbius and other Midnight Sons members working together to fight against the Blood Demon.

The Blood Demon is a strong man from another dimension who wants to enter the human world, so he bewitches the vampire race, worships and sacrifices to it, which on the one hand enhances its strength and on the other hand helps it come to the earth.

In "Morbius the Vampire 2", Morbius was addicted to blood and sacrificed to the Blood Demon, which greatly increased the Blood Demon's strength and finally came to Earth.

"Midnight's Sons 2" is about the Blade Warriors reorganizing the Midnight Sons, bringing together Ghost Rider, Humanoid, Moon Knight, Night Werewolf, Voodoo Doctor, etc. to fight against the Blood Demon.

In the end, by awakening the will of Morbius and gathering the power of everyone, the Blood Demon was expelled from the earth's space and exiled back to another dimension.

Because of the previous foreshadowing, the power of Blood Demon has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and all movie fans know that the earth is in danger. Therefore, "Midnight's Children 2" naturally attracted much attention.

The day before it was released, fans were already queuing up to buy tickets. To them, "Midnight's Children 2" means the same thing as "Avengers 2" to Marvel fans.

The reason why they are so enthusiastic is that on the one hand, "Midnight's Children 2" is an R-rated thriller action movie. Such movies are usually made on a small budget, with violence, gore and cyan as their selling points. Most of them are crudely made, not to mention how good they are.

Special effects.

In comparison, movies such as "Midnight's Sons 2", "Morbius", and "Ghost Rider" are also R-rated thriller action movies, but their production is comparable to first-tier commercial blockbusters.

The scenes are grand, the special effects are gorgeous, and the story is not only scary, but also entertaining and refreshing. That's why this type of movie is so popular.

On the one hand, it is also because the previous films such as "Blade Runner 2", "Ghost Rider 2", and "Morbius 2" have already laid the foundation for this. After layers of foreshadowing, the audience's curiosity has also been piqued.

Now that it's released, naturally everyone is flocking to it. So in the end, "Midnight's Children 2" has a North American box office of 260 million US dollars and a global box office of nearly 700 million US dollars, which is quite good.

…

In June, "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" was released.

This movie tells the story of the battle between Godzilla and Ghidorah for king of the monsters.

According to the setting, Godzilla is a Titan native to Earth, while Ghidorah is an alien three-headed dragon.

It came to the earth in prehistoric times, defeated many Titan monsters and became the king of monsters, but Godzilla has never conquered it.

The two have been fighting since prehistoric times, and have been recorded by humans. It was not until a few hundred years ago that as the living environment changed, both sides fell into a deep sleep.

Now Godzilla is awakened by a nuclear explosion, and subsequently, his natural enemy Ghidorah also wakes up, and the two sides start fighting again.

It doesn't really matter what the story of this movie is, because "Godzilla" was originally positioned as a children's special feature film. Its plot basically has no depth, it's just a few monsters beating each other to death.

When the audience watches this movie, what they see is not a story, just so many titan monsters fighting for the king of the monsters. So as long as the plot is not too overwhelming, the special effects are good, and the scenes are good, the box office will not be bad.

Sure enough, this "Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters" made a big fuss about the special effects and scenes. More than a dozen Titan beasts appeared together. The scene was really spectacular, and there was no need for bicycles.

The final box office in North America was US$280 million, and the global box office was US$700 million, which was much higher than the previous film.

…

In July, "Mission: Impossible: Reckoning (Part 2)" was officially released.

This movie is also the conclusion of the "Mission: Impossible" series, and Ethan Hunt will have a final showdown with the Syndicate.

Therefore, it was the final work, so Xiang Nan also made the most thrilling attempt, not only climbing thousands of meters of snow-capped mountains, but also going deep into the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.

Of course, the part at the nuclear power plant was shot in a studio without actually entering. After all, that place is not open to ordinary people, even if Xiang Nan is a world-class superstar.

Despite this, such a scene still shocked the audience.

Xiang Nan's efforts naturally paid off. In the end, the film earned a box office of US$400 million in North America alone. Many viewers rushed to the theater to support it.

On the one hand, I say goodbye to Ethan Hunt, and on the other hand, I say goodbye to my own youth.

The first "Mission: Impossible" film was filmed in the early 1990s, and a total of eight films have been released so far, with an average of one film every two years.

This series of movies represents the highest level of Hollywood action movies, with exciting stories, intense rhythm, and stunning scenes. It is a classic in the hearts of countless people.

That's why so many people will support it when it's finished.
