Chapter 451
Before Han Jiaren left, she agreed to Fang Nan's suggestion of half-retiring.

Fang Nan smiled knowingly, and immediately dispatched a small team from the artist theater to Saipan for negotiations.

However, he did not plan to introduce several companies under his name to the deep diving equipment research and development company and Saipan tourism diving company established soon.

He has money!
In recent years, apart from buying an Airbus private jet for more than 1 million US dollars, he has spent almost no other big money.

He hasn't learned from celebrities in recent years. He often buys a lot of luxury jewelry and clothes, spends a lot of money on skin care, and pursues fashion.

Not to mention luxury cars and yachts, which have never happened so far.

Gao Yuanyuan always teased him, saving money to become the richest man in the world.

It is conceivable that he is really rich, and he casually spends [-] to [-] million US dollars, and if he wants more, he can sell some stocks.

After leaving the professional work to professionals, Fang Nan personally still filmed movies and chatted about work every day.

In the past two weeks, he received a piece of good news.

"Gossip is now in theaters.

Due to the time difference, the release date of the movie in North America and China was one day apart. Therefore, Fang Nan only saw the modified movie on the second day.

In the VIP box, although he couldn't see the audience's reaction, he could completely imagine the audience's dismay.

Let him describe this "Godzilla" in one sentence - still holding the pipa half-hidden, are you pretending to be you?
In the first 10 minutes of the movie, the director's gray screen introduced the origin of Godzilla.

In the first half of the middle, Godzilla's back began to be exposed on the sea and among the buildings, but he couldn't see his real body, and the atmosphere of terror was full.

In the middle and second half, there was damage, but it was either a ray or a huge figure that disappeared in a flash.

In the second half, I finally saw my real body, and the fight started. The special effects of monsters and blows were all perfect. As a result, the movie ended after two clicks.

In the VIP box, seeing such a hypocritical "Godzilla", Fang Nan smiled and showed his back molars.

It's not in vain for him to calculate for so long, Thomas made a good movie for Legendary Pictures!

"I don't know how much the box office of "Godzilla" like this is. The box office is so low. Should Legend and Toho Co., Ltd. give up the idea of ​​a sequel?" Fang Nan's eyes sparkled in the car returning to Movie Metropolis.

Once the sequel is cut off, it's up to him to save Godzilla and King Kong.

Taking advantage of the trend, let the giant beast of Shanhaijing go to North America for a journey.

back home.

Fang Nan turned on the computer immediately, and it was almost as he expected. Netizens gave "Godzilla" a lot of negative reviews.

Huaxia Intranet:

I fuck your uncle, what a bad movie, a monster movie of more than two hours, a bunch of actors BB endlessly.

2014's "Godzilla" seems to be a remake of the Japanese movie "Godzilla" released in 1954.

At the beginning of the film, the two directors made full use of an expression technique of "only hearing the sound, not seeing the person" to arouse the audience's fear and curiosity about this behemoth.

But time has passed, and the audience in 2014 obviously didn't buy the shy Godzilla, and the movie's reputation plummeted.

I was looking forward to it.

As a result, when I went to the theater, I found that this was not the case at all. The director was a director who could not control the rhythm and talk to the audience.

North American Twitter:

Godzilla, what the hell did you cum for me? The radiant light was shot twice in two hours. The director is a badass.

Director Edwards is a primitive man, he actually wanted to pay tribute to the 1954 movie.

Legendary Pictures never disappoints fans when it comes to disappointing them.

After "Pacific Rim", they made another big bad movie "Godzilla", hoping that the profit and loss ratio will make Thomas step down this time.

When "Godzilla" came out, Disney's content director must be very happy.

Disney is finally no longer the company that is best at making money-losing live-action movies.

In the study, Fang Nan looked at all the movie reviews and was overjoyed.

Just happy, David called. "Godzilla" had a box office of 2000 million US dollars on its first day in North America, but it dropped by more than 50% on the second day.

Indb film critics scored 7.3 points.

It's a pity that the audience doesn't buy it, and there is a high probability that the movie's box office failure will not be recovered.

Fang Nan did some calculations. In order to restart the "Godzilla" movie, Legendary Pictures ruthlessly approved nearly 1.6 million in production costs.

Warner Bros. Pictures and Toho Co., Ltd., which are responsible for the promotion and distribution of the film, have invested at least 4000 million US dollars in publicity and distribution fees for this monster movie.

The three companies want to successfully recover the total production fee of 2 million US dollars, and "Godzilla" needs to search for at least 5 million US dollars in the global market.

If the producers and publishers still want to make money, and the manpower and material resources they want to spend will be reaped, the global box office will have to reach 6-7 million US dollars.

"If the box office of "Godzilla" doesn't improve within five working days, Legendary Pictures will suffer a serious loss." David said seriously.

Fang Nan nodded in agreement.

Although investing in movies is risky, such a big hole is destined to have someone stand up and take responsibility, which is bad luck.

"Don't rush to resign from Warner, think of a way with Roger, I want more rights to "Godzilla"." Fang Nan told David.

He replaced part of the copyrights of "King Kong" and "Godzilla" with the copyright of "The Hunger Games" in the promotional movie, but it was not enough, he wanted more.

No matter what, you have to get the dominance.

Or within ten years, no one will hinder him from using these two monster IPs.

In the first week of "Gossip Continent" in the world, the box office in North America was 4000 million, and the global box office will reach 9 million US dollars.

The data looks okay, but the box office decline curve makes the three companies of Legend, Warner, and Toho desperate.

Under the dissatisfaction of the audience, under the fire, major box office websites around the world have announced the death penalty for the movie.

Thomas couldn't sit still anymore, tweeted Aite Fangnan through social media and stated [The narrative line of "Godzilla" has Fang Nan's suggestion. 】

[And the film has a good reputation among professional film critics, and the box office will definitely rebound against the trend in the second week. 】

The desperate Thomas hoped that Fang Nan's box office reputation would restore the box office decline of "Godzilla".

quickly,

Fang Nan replied to Thomas on Twitter.

He did not deny Thomas' claim.

He also admitted that he misjudged the monster movie market at the beginning, and did not have a deep understanding of the audience's expectations.

Thomas was speechless for a moment, wanting to cry without tears.

Universal and Steven Spielberg also freaked out.

What the hell, is it right to give "Jurassic World" to Fang Nan?

The movie is halfway through, Fang Nan said that he misjudged the market direction of monster movies?
The "Jurassic" series of movies is much more important than "Godzilla", so what if you screw it up?
With this in mind, the vice president of Universal Pictures and Steven took a special plane to China overnight.

Meanwhile, a new week begins.

In the second week of "Gossip Continent" worldwide, the weekly box office fell sharply, and the global box office only earned less than 3000 million US dollars.

The film's director, Gareth Edwards, was directly listed by Legendary as never to co-direct.

The film's leading actors Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen, and Juliette Binoche refused to mention "Godzilla" in front of the media.

Major theaters around the world began to cut corners and reduce the number of "Godzilla" movies.

This movie seems to have become a plague god all of a sudden.

What people didn't expect was that Thomas, the producer and the president of Legendary Pictures, escaped.

It is estimated that he still has a big production "The Great Wall" in his hands, and the board of directors of Legendary Pictures still has high hopes for him.

During the day, Fang Nan, who was researching the material of "Jurassic" with Steven and the president of Universal, was not idle. He urged the person in charge of the international version of Douyin Video to buy the streaming rights of "Godzilla" from Legendary Pictures at a high price. And footage shot by Edwards.

The other party was puzzled.

Fang Nan didn't explain that the 2005 "Kingdom of Heaven" could restore a certain amount of reputation through the director's cut version a few years later, and his edited version of "Godzilla" can also restore the audience's reputation.

After seeing off Steven and Universal's vice president, Fang Nan started working on the set again.

He filmed during the day, and went to the Oriental Movie Metropolis after work early.

Today's Oriental movies are all very interesting.

A few years ago, it was just demolished and the place was full of ruins, and it was very monotonous. There are many crews, playgrounds, and you can go to the theater. If you are not good enough, you can go to the movie theater to learn about the history of movies.

Cheng Long's "Lonely Walking on the Moon" is still filming.

He doesn't understand computer technology and likes to use the old film shooting theory and technical staff BB. From time to time, Jiang Ping, the boss of 13 swordsmen, comes to the scene, so that the progress is very slow.

Fang Nan could see that he just had no confidence. After all, "Lonely Walking on the Moon" was Cheng Long's first sci-fi film in decades.

The filming of "The Great Wall", which has been built for several months, has also started.

The old Mouzi moaned and sighed all day long.

After Thomas' "Godzilla" exploded at the box office, Legendary Pictures took the crew of "The Great Wall" and the old Mouzi as their own guards, and sent people to the Huaxia crew every three days to tell them what to do, for fear that this big production would pull the crotch again .

"After decades of filming, "The Great Wall" is the project I regret most."

At the heel of the built Great Wall, the lights were a little dim, and Lao Mouzi told Fang Nan with the crew on his back.

Fang Nan handed him a cigarette and smiled.

He has read the script of "The Great Wall", and to be honest, it's terrible, and it won't be pleasing if it's not good or bad.

Can't Lao Mouzi understand?
Not necessarily, they are all old directors, and they know more or less whether a script will work. The reason why they bite the bullet and shoot is nothing more than a gambler's mentality.

Then there is too much given by the other party.

"Director Fang."

"Hello, Matt." Fang Nan raised his head and shook hands with Matt Damon who came down from the city wall.

Matt Damon is the starring role of "The Great Wall". In the movie, there are also a group of old and young three-generation artists such as Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Jing Tian, ​​Peng Yuyan, Zheng Kai, Lin Genxin, Lu Han, Huang Xuan, Chen Xuedong, and Wang Junkai.

If you don't look at the plot of the script, but just look at the leading actors, you can imagine how "The Great Wall" will turn out.

In the next few years, China's domestic entertainment will enter the era of small fresh meat rampant.

Fang Nan doesn't dislike little fresh meat, everyone has come here step by step since they were young, who would deny that their young self has long hair.

But if this group of people has any acting skills and can star in a movie, Fang Nan will scold her.

Do these kids in their teens and 10s have the ability to put them in movies by themselves, making domestic movies a mess.

He also does not object to young people going to the movies.

But you have to have some professional skills anyway.

Idol trainees also play the leading roles in movies, online celebrities who sell goods can also star in film and television dramas, unscrupulous film and television companies, and shameless entertainers abruptly turn movies into garbage dumps.

This is what bothers him the most.

"Director Zhang, Hello, Director Fang!"

"Ah."

"Hello, Director Fang!"

"Uh."

"Director Fang!"

Probably because the filming of the scene on the city wall was over, a group of actors brought their assistants and managers down from time to time, and accidentally saw Lao Mouzi and Fang Nan hiding in the shadows bragging, and those who were willing or not came to say hello with a shy face .

Fang Nan felt bored. He knew all these children, but he didn't bother to know them.

"Let's go, go back to wash and sleep." Fang Nan greeted Lao Mouzi.

Lao Mouzi and Liu Dehua asked to stay: "You have two drinks before leaving? The production team just started dinner."

"Pull it down, don't eat after brushing your teeth."

"The Great Wall" is jointly invested by Legendary Films and China's Le Chuang. Because he refused to admit that "Taiping Wheel" had a release threshold, Le Chuang had a big opinion on him. He didn't even go to the cafeteria to order the meals for the leading role. He stayed on the set Wouldn't it be a joke to rub a meal?

After returning home, Fang Nan fried a piece of steak, paired it with two vegetarian dishes and uploaded it to the computer and his daughter's video.

While talking, a strange call came in.

"Hello, Mr. Fang, I'm Ji Bo from Tianchuang Group, can Xin invite you to dinner?"

Fang Nan, who was chewing on the steak, recalled.

Tianchuang, Jibo?Not impressed.He took advantage of the situation and tapped on the computer. Baidu Encyclopedia didn't have much information on this person, but it was enough for Fang Nan to refuse.

Wu Peici's boyfriend, but a bad boy who made his fortune from gambling.

No matter what happened, he didn't want to sit and eat with this kind of person and downgrade.

"I've been very busy recently and don't have time."

The other party said stubbornly: "Mr. Fang, let me save face. I have already flown to the mainland from Taiwan. The service for the dinner is absolutely thoughtful, Mr. Bao is satisfied."

Fang Nan dragged the mouse and didn't take it seriously: "To save face, call me if you need anything."

Information on the Internet said that this Ji Bo had two tricks, and even used gambling to ruin the owner of Gionee Mobile Phone. Fang Nan wondered how he could seduce himself.

Unexpectedly, Ji Bo didn't even mention inviting him to participate in some shocking gambling games, but instead talked about the development of Saipan Island.

Tianchuang is also a competitor for Saipan development.

"The place I want is not too big, so it shouldn't interfere with the boss's development plan."

"Not big? Isn't Fang always a bit fuzzy about the size of the area? As far as I know, Mr. Cao's random gestures on the map, the investment of less than 20 billion or 30 billion US dollars is not enough."

"Mr. Fang is rich and powerful, and Tianchuang and I recognize it, but Mr. Fang can't eat alone. Tianchuang's requirements are not high. We only need an area that can build a 6-star hotel and a gaming palace."

"Hang up first, let me know the specific information."

Ji Bo on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, Fang Nan was too impolite, he hung up the phone before finishing his sentence.

Fang Nan hung up the phone involuntarily, Fang Nan fell into deep thought.

Ji Bo was dissatisfied, he heard a message, and Cao Guozhong made his own motherhood again.

What he wanted was a diving site. The other party probably wanted to build a resort for him.
