1996【Rush Hour 3】

Xiang Nan only knew Song Hye Kyo after watching "Blue Life and Death". When he first saw her at that time, he was almost astonished. Such a pure and beautiful woman is really very rare.

Although I saw more beauties later on, I realized that Song Hye Kyo was just a little girl with limited looks. Not to mention compared to top beauties like Catherine Zeta Jones, Sophie Marceau, and Jennifer Connelly, even compared to Zhang Bo from Hong Kong.

Compared with Zhi Zhi, Li Jiaxin and Lin Xilei, they are quite inferior.

But after all, there is a childhood filter, so Song Hye Kyo is still a beauty in his mind.

"I watched "Blue Life and Death" starring you, and your performance was really good." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Really?! Thank you!" Song Hye Kyo said happily.

Xiang Nan is a gold medal producer in Hollywood and is known as the God of Movies. His praise is really rare.

It's a pity that there are no reporters present. Otherwise, if it were recorded and reported, newspapers and magazines all over South Korea would publish the news tomorrow. And with Xiang Nan's praise, she would become a recognized acting school in South Korea.

"You're welcome. There is a role for you in my new film. Do you want to consider it?" Xiang Nan asked again. This method has been tried and tested time and time again.

"You invite me to cooperate?!" Song Hye Kyo's eyes widened in surprise, and then she nodded repeatedly, "Of course, I'm happy to."

Not to mention that Xiang Nan's movies have always been box-office hits and good reviews. Even if he lets her act in a low-budget bad movie, she can use it to hype up after returning to South Korea, saying that she has been to Hollywood and is an international-level movie.

movie star.

After all, there are so many artists in South Korea, but only one in ten thousand can go to Hollywood to film. Even top artists like Jang Dong Gun, Lee Byung Hun, and Cha In Pyo have not yet had the opportunity.

"Very good." Xiang Nan smiled and then told the story of "Rush Hour 3".



"Rush Hour 3" was originally released in 2007. The reason why it took so long to follow the second part is mainly because one of the starring Chris Tucker lacked career ambition. After "Rush Hour 1 and 2" became popular,

, and began to forget about everything, just enjoying life and showing off everywhere.

It wasn't until he ran out of money that he chose to return to "Rush Hour 3." What's even more disgusting is that he was obviously a supporting actor, but he was offered a higher salary than Jackie Chan.

As a result, the production cost of "Rush Hour 3" was as high as 120 million U.S. dollars, which is already considered a top Hollywood production. However, the box office was only 240 million U.S. dollars, causing a huge loss to New Line Cinema. Therefore, "Rush Hour 4"

Haven't taken any pictures until now.

However, under Xiang Nan's arrangement, Chris Tucker had long been replaced by Martin Lawrence.

Martin Lawrence is even more popular, starring in "Bad Boys", "Bad Boys", "Nothing to Lose", and "The Fool", all of which have grossed over 100 million US dollars at the box office.

Moreover, he has excellent comedy talent. He once starred in a talk show on a TV station and gained a very good reputation.

Therefore, after teaming up with Jackie Chan, their strengths complement each other. One is responsible for kung fu, and the other is responsible for comedy. They work together seamlessly and make the first two parts of "Rush Hour" a hit.

This time, Xiang Nan is preparing to start filming "Rush Hour 3". The script will be rewritten and the investment will not be too large, only around US$80 million.

After all, pure action movies are no longer very popular nowadays. What are popular nowadays are action movies with special effects. For example, "Pirates of the Caribbean", "X-Men", "Harry Potter" and so on.



Song Hye Kyo couldn't help but be very excited when she saw Xiang Nan asking her to star in "Rush Hour 3".

As far as she knew, the first two "Rush Hour" films were both among the top ten in the U.S. annual box office rankings and were very popular movies.

She was able to participate in the production of the third film, and she was about to become famous, so she was naturally very happy.

"Mr. Charles, your story is really well written. I am very interested in starring in it." Song Hye Kyo immediately expressed her stance.

"Very good, I appreciate your positive attitude." Xiang Nan nodded, "But whether you are suitable for this role needs to be assessed. You also know that if you invest 100 million US dollars in a movie, you must Just be careful."

"I understand." Song Huiqiao suddenly showed a well-behaved look when he heard what he said, "Mr. Charles, how do you want to be assessed?"

"Well, I just have to stay in Xiangjiang for a few days. If you have time, you can stay with me and let me tutor you." Xiang Nan nodded.

Song Hye Kyo was stunned for a moment, then said in deep thought, "I have to discuss it with my agent."

"Okay." Xiang Nan didn't force it.

Anyway, for him, there are plenty of beauties.

After discussing with her agent, Song Hye Kyo decided to stay with Xiang Nan.

On the one hand, it is not easy for South Korean stars to go to Hollywood to film. Artists from Hong Kong are good at kung fu and have an advantage in the field of action films. But South Korean artists are different. They have no advantages, so it is naturally difficult for them to get a job in Hollywood. favor.

On the one hand, even if you fail the test in the end, it is good to establish contact with Xiang Nan. A big shot like him has always been aloof, and it is not easy to meet him. Now that I can stay with him for a few days, the opportunity will be better It's rare.

Xiang Nan is also very satisfied with Song Huiqiao's choice, "A child can be taught~"



After staying in Xiangjiang for half a month, Xiang Nan's family then returned to Hollywood.

In February, Universal Pictures released Meet the Father 2 starring Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand.

The year before last, "Meet the Father-in-Law" had a global box office of US$330 million, but the production cost of that movie was only US$50 million. Because of this, a sequel was naturally planned.

In order to bring more freshness to movie fans, the movie specially invited Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand to join the cast.

Dustin Hoffman has won the Academy Award twice, and Barbra Streisand is the Academy Award-winning actress. She has made unsurpassed achievements in many fields such as music, drama, and TV series.

The joining of these two superstars adds a strong touch to "Meet the Father-in-law 2" and makes it even more attractive at the box office.

In particular, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand, three veteran actors, compete in the same scene and jointly display their funny skills, which also makes this movie highly watchable.

Therefore, after its release, it became a hit at the box office. The final box office in North America was US$270 million, and the global box office was US$530 million, which was US$200 million more than the previous film.

This kind of box office also broke the box office records set by "Home Alone" and "Fake God", becoming the highest-grossing comedy film in history.
