How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 115 The progress is gratifying
"Zhang, I admit that your plan is very exciting to me."

Spielberg first affirmed, and then said negatively: "But an investment of [-] million US dollars is not so easy to attract. Hollywood giants will not be easily fooled by you like New Line Pictures. .”

Spielberg was right.

Otherwise, Zhang Nan would not have gone to New Line Films first to play the catfish effect.

"Steven, in fact, the investment share is almost the same." Zhang Nan reminded in a low voice.

Spielberg was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Didn't you just negotiate with the new line?"

Spielberg thought that Zhang Nan had at most obtained an investment of tens of millions of dollars from New Line Films.

Then Zhang Nan brought his own [-] million US dollars into the group, and New Line Films was willing to invest [-] million US dollars, but he told him that he refused.

But although this matter was rejected, as long as the investment was not obtained, it was obviously easy to go back on it.

Spielberg was completely shocked by Zhang Nan and New Line Films' generous investment.

Can't help persuading: "Zhang, if the production cost is too high, it will be difficult for the project to pay back the cost. Even if the cost is paid back, the profit rate will be very low and it will not be worthwhile."

Of course Zhang Nan knew what Spielberg said.

But for this project, Zhang Nan is not aiming at profitability.

Instead, it is aimed at maximizing its own interests while reasonably spending its own box office appeal.

"Steven, I'm here to pay you, not to ask you to invest. It doesn't seem to have much to do with you whether the project makes money or not! Just tell me, I can give you a billion yuan. Will you come to the project you are filming?" Zhang Nan asked.

Spielberg was a little speechless.

After a long time, Spielberg nodded slowly.

For this kind of project, Spielberg felt that if he refused, he probably would not have a second chance in his life.

When Zhang Nan saw Spielberg nodding, he also showed joy.

Because Spielberg has been dealt with, he now has two world-class directors in his hands.

Relying on the names of these two great directors to persuade other directors, or to attract investment, it will be much easier.

"Okay, I'll ask old Luke to send you the contract later."

After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he planned to rush to persuade George Lucas, Roland Emmerich... and other big directors.

After all these great directors have been negotiated, Zhang Nan will bring this terrifying force to talk about investment with the Hollywood giants.

But just as Zhang Nan was about to turn his head, before he could take a step, he found that his clothes were being held back by Spielberg.

"Repent?" Zhang Nan said in astonishment.

Spielberg shook his head, "DreamWorks needs an investment share of US$5000 million for this project."

Hearing what Spielberg said, Zhang Nan was even more astonished.

"Aren't you just worried that the production cost is too high, the project will be difficult to pay back, and the profit rate will be very low, so you have to invest now?" Zhang Nan expressed his confusion.

Spielberg did not give an answer, but only asked: "Will you give it or not?"

Hearing Spielberg's words, he looked at his serious attitude again.

Zhang Nan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Then Zhang Nan made a calculation.

His 5000 million US dollars, plus the verbal promise of up to [-] million from New Line Pictures, if you count the [-] million from DreamWorks.

With an investment of 50.00 million US dollars, this is basically [-]% completed.

Even if the investment of New Line Films is full.

His investment has been pulled by 90.00%, which can almost be said to have completed the task of pulling investment.

But he hasn't even met a Hollywood giant yet.

To be honest, this progress is a bit scary.

After Spielberg was settled, Zhang Nan went to George Lucas's "Star Wars Episode [-]" the next day to guest-star as Galas.

The same words and big cakes have the same effect.

And when George Lucas heard about Spielberg, he asked DreamWorks for a $5000 million investment share in the project.

George Lucas resolutely stated that he wanted an investment share of [-] million US dollars.

George Lucas, who dared to say that he invested [-] million US dollars, was really not bragging.

After all, George Lucas owns the copyright of the [Star Wars] series, Industrial Light & Magic and George Lucasfilm.

That's really not bad money!

To be honest, not to mention Spielberg, even the cash flow of the entire DreamWorks may not be as much as George Lucas.

However, in the face of such a proud George Lucas, Zhang Nan could only express his refusal, and only agreed to a share of 5000 million US dollars.

After all, if you really give George Lucas an investment share of [-] million US dollars.

Of the entire $[-] million investment, only [-] million is left.

This number is not enough for the Hollywood giants.

Then Zhang Nan continued to visit Roland Emmerich, who was working on the later stage of "Godzilla".

And through Nicolas Cage, contacted Francis Coppola.

These two didn't have the idea of ​​investing, but they were taken aback by Zhang Nan's handwriting, and then agreed with excitement.

And Zhang Nan's status as a superstar plus a famous director already attracted the attention of the paparazzi.

The contact with Spielberg and George Lucas, and the reason for the cameo cover.

But contact with Roland Emmerich and Francisco Coppola, then there is nothing to hide.

In addition, Zhang Nan's preparation for the new project was not kept secret at the beginning.

So Zhang Nan's actions naturally aroused the interest of various media.

They all speculated on the entertainment section that Zhang Nan's actions were preparations for a new project, and it seemed that Zhang Nan's new project was not low-grade.

As soon as the media reported, the Hollywood moguls couldn't sit still.

After all, although [Titanic] has already been drawn, the global box office of 18 billion U.S. dollars, Yu Wei is still there.

Then Zhang Nan's phone call entered a busy stage.

The first person to call Zhang Nan was the president of Columbia, Clive Sander.

The two first chatted about what they had, and then the other party naturally turned the topic to his new project.

After exchanging pleasantries, we agreed on a time to meet.

Then Universal, MGM, Warner, Disney, and even Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount, which are full of oil on the "Titanic", all called to inquire.

After hanging up the last call, Zhang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and then threw the phone away.

Old Luke on the side was full of excitement and worry when he saw this.

Excited about the scale of the project, it's a bit daunting.

Concerned about the scale of this project, it seems a bit too big.

　Nine in the morning and four in the evening, if it seems impossible, then I will do the opposite
