2987 [Extreme Agent]
"By the way, these are a few scripts I have written, you can take them to read them." After talking about the idle article, Xia Tian said to Robert Egg again.
"That's really a reading." Robert Egg immediately smiled when he heard this.
Last year, "The Princess Diary" and "Fast and Furious" created by Xia Tian both achieved very good box office results, which also made him full of confidence in Xia Tian.
And he also knew that if he wanted to become famous in Hollywood, he had to make some achievements. With the script of summer, all this would be much easier, so the more scripts, the better.
Xia Tian then took out several scripts he wrote, including seven movies including "Extreme Agent xxx", "National Treasure", "Shocking Laugh", "Silence of the Lambs 2", "Chicago", "The Fake God" and "I Know the Heart of a Woman", as well as two American TV series "Doctor House", "Grey's Anatomy" and "Two and Half a Day".
"Extreme Agent xxx" is an action film starring Vin Diesel, focusing on the elements of "extreme sports". Extreme sports emerged in the 1990s, including skateboarding, rock climbing, bungee jumping, paddling, surfing, rafting, parkour, etc. It is a relatively thrilling, exciting and dangerous sports activity.
The reason why it emerges is that as the pace of social life accelerates, people are facing increasing pressure. People are willing to seek more exciting, more thrilling, and more conducive to releasing stress.
Traditional sports such as running, swimming, basketball, football, etc. are no longer enough to meet people's needs, so this cooler, more dazzling and more exciting extreme sports has gradually become popular with people.
On the one hand, the narrowness of urban living space also makes people happy to return to nature, such as rock climbing, surfing, paddling, rafting, etc., allowing people to enjoy the fun of sports, and enjoy the natural scenery to cultivate their body and mind.
Therefore, over the years, extreme sports have become more and more popular among young people. "Extreme Agent xxx" was created to cater to the tastes of young people, and has achieved a good box office of 280 million US dollars worldwide.

"National Treasure" is one of only a few good works before Nicholas Cage became the king of bad movies.
It tells a more traditional treasure hunting story, but unlike "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "National Treasure" tends to tell stories about beauty, the Declaration of Freedom, Franklin, Freemasonry, Knights Templar... All kinds of elements are mixed together. Although it is a bit weird, it has to be said to be really popular.
In his previous life, this movie sold for $350 million, which can be said to be quite good. Its sequel also won a box office of $450 million for $130 million, which is also very good.
Unfortunately, Nicholas Cage continued to rush on the road to bad movies, which made Disney reluctant to start filming sequels, for fear of being affected by Cage's bad movie king's bad movies.
This also made this series of movies, like the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, become a classic series of adventure treasure hunts, but in the end it was always a short shot.

"Shocking and Screaming" is a well-known R-rated comedy film in the United States. It has filmed as many as five movies in a row, and each movie has a good box office.
For example, the first one cost only 15 million US dollars, but it achieved a box office of 110 million US dollars in North America and a good result of 180 million US dollars worldwide.
The reason why such low-cost movies can achieve such a good box office is mainly because of their slap and imitation of previous horror movies and classic popular movies.
For example, the first movie "Shocking" spoofed many movies such as "I Know What You Do Last Year", "Shocking", "Moonlight and Panic", "The Matrix", "Blair the Witch", "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", "The End of the Way", "The Extreme Suspect", etc. Because it has many classic spoofs and many jokes, it is very popular with the audience.
Although Xia Tian doesn't like these "shit, pee, fart" comedy, she still wrote it out for the sake of making money.

"The Silence of the Lambs 2" is the sequel to the movie "The Silence of the Lambs".
"The Silence of the Lambs" was produced by Columbia Pictures that year. After its release, it achieved excellent reputation and box office. In particular, the male lead Anthony Hopkins won the Oscar for Best Actor that year.
This time, the sequel was to end the "Silence of the Lambs [Reading at Zero Point]", and on the other hand, I wanted to make some money by borrowing the previous work.
Although the purpose is not very pure, to be honest, the movie achieved a box office of 350 million US dollars that year, and the cost was only 87 million US dollars.
Such a top-notch sequel will naturally not let go of summer.

However, after experiencing the peak of the 1960s, the market for musical and dance films gradually began to decline in the 1970s. However, such films have not disappeared, and there have been signs of recovery in recent years.

It was officially brought to the stage in 1975, and it was a great sensation and was shortlisted for the eleventh Academy Awards in the American drama industry.
In 1997, this musical and dance drama was staged again on Broadway, and it was still unprecedented in the grand occasion, with viewers gathering, so summer is preparing to bring it to the big screen.
