Chapter 226 Reasonable Suggestion for Character Image

On the way to the mainland.

on a private jet.

Jun Zhixian walked to Zhang Nan with tea and sat down.

At this time, Zhang Nan was holding an annual plan for the artists of Longbow Film and Television Company, thinking about how to arrange it.

Zhou Jie is now accompanying Li An in Hollywood, and according to his idea, he is constantly attacking the Oscar jury for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

After all, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the first work of Zhang Nan's global distribution channel, although it has already been very successful at the box office.

But it would be even better if it had success at the Oscars as well.

It will be more convenient for Zhang Nan to occupy a better position when negotiating the price and conditions of film distribution with copyright owners, producers, directors, and leading actors in future film projects in Asia.

After all, in Asia, this is almost an area with a director-centered system. The control of many movies is not only in the hands of the producers. In many cases, big directors and superstars rely on their own positions, and they also have a lot of say. of.

Even sometimes, big directors and superstar actors are the actual controllers of some projects.

The success of the awards is a huge attraction to the latter two.

After all, the big directors and superstars in the Asian circle are basically not short of money, and they only need world-class awards to satisfy their recognition of 'grade', 'style', 'identity'...etc.

As for whether it can be done?

Original Spacetime's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won several gold-worthy Oscars without doing such a set of operations, including the gold-worthy award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Now the operation of this lobbying has been increased, and there is still his influence.

Zhang Nan felt that even if it was a conservative estimate, it would be impossible to get another award with a little gold content.

So in the first quarter of 2001, Zhou Jie didn't have any schedule and didn't need to arrange anything.

Next words...

Zhang Nan intends to arrange Zhou Jie into the crew of "The Bourne Shadow" and play a small supporting role, let him get familiar with Hollywood filming methods, and then slowly get him some regular projects.

As for whether Zhou Jie can be arranged into the crew of "The Bourne Shadow".

Zhang Nan felt that there was no problem.

Not to mention that Matt Damon, the protagonist of [The Bourne Movie], was recommended by him, and he will definitely help him speak in the crew.

Let's just say that Zhou Jie, relying on the global box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which grossed 3.2 million US dollars, is now somewhat of a star in Hollywood.

And then... no more.

Zhang Nan will only arrange a film appointment for a good project for his artists in a year. If there are more, it will just follow the fate, and the artists need to find it by themselves.

Therefore, Zhang Nan has already arranged Zhou Jie's resources for 2001.

Zhang Nan felt that it was Wu Jin who was difficult to arrange.

It's not that Zhang Nan has no resources.

Instead, Zhang Nan took a fancy to the original time and space resources of the Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianlian—[Universe Hunting Order].

Helping Wu Jin cut off Li Lianlian's [Fatal Romeo], and now he has his eyes on Li Lianlian's [Universal Pursuit], Zhang Nan feels that he is a bit targeting Li Lianlian.

But Zhang Nan really didn't mean it!
In fact, when Wu Jin hadn't transformed into a wolf warrior, his kung fu boy's personal style was too close to Li Lian's acting style.

"Forget it, forget it, I've done it on the first day of junior high school, so it's not less than fifteen years. There's a beginning and an end, and...it's a waste if you don't cut it off!" Zhang Nan said to himself.

After all, Li Lianlian has only been in the past two years, and he can't survive in Hollywood, and he has to return to the mainland to make money.

Returning early and returning late are both returning, returning late is worse than returning early.

It's better to help yourself.

So with a swipe of his pen, Zhang Nan assigned the film contract resources of "Universal Pursuit" to Wu Jin.

Of course, [Universal Pursuit] is a project produced by Columbia, and Zhang Nan can't completely call the shots.

but……

With the investment of tens of millions of dollars in [Universal Pursuit], plus Wu Jin's box office performance of over [-] million dollars in "Fatal Romeo", and Zhang Nan's recommendation.

Colombia will basically not refuse.

After finishing all this, Zhang Nan came back to his senses and found that there was a cup of warm tea on the table, and Jun Zhixian sat beside him docilely.

"Have you read the script?" Zhang Nan asked Jun Zhixian.

[Tomb Raider] For this project, Zhang Nan has already completed the deal with Paramount.

Zhang Nan owed Paramount a favor and invested 1000 million U.S. dollars in exchange for Paramount kicking out the pre-determined heroine Angelina Jolie.

For Zhang Nan, this transaction is a double gain.

For Paramount, it is also very acceptable, after all, it is just a change of heroine.

Facing Zhang Nan's question, Jun Ji-hyun nodded.

Seeing Jun Zhixian's answer, Zhang Nan switched places between Jun Zhixian and Wen Cha.
-
Hollywood.

Angelina Jolie finally obtained from her agent that Paramount replaced her from the position of the heroine of "Tomb Raider", and she was robbed of resources.

After some investigation, it was learned that Zhang Nan did it to praise a Korean actress.

Angelina Jolie was silent.

There was a hint of bitterness in the silence.

Angelina Jolie is not stupid.

After learning that Zhang Nandu was interested in the [Tomb Raider] project, he was even more optimistic about the prospect of this project.

After all, the name of Zhang Nan's box office mascot has been passed down in Hollywood for several years, so it can be said that everyone knows it.

After being silent for a while, Angelina Jolie turned to her agent and asked, "Find a chance and make an appointment with Julia Roberts for me."

After Angelina Jolie's agent heard the news, he nodded first, and then asked with some doubts: "Julie, do you want Julia Roberts to help you get the film contract back, it stands to reason that Julie The relationship between Julia Roberts and Zhang Nan, Julia Roberts can do such a thing, but our relationship with Julia Roberts, it seems that it has not reached this point!"

"The resources of [Tomb Raider] must be gone. This is for the future. I can't meet another good project and be cut off again!" Angelina Jolie explained.

After listening to his manager, he nodded clearly.
-
After some bumps, Zhang Nan's private plane landed in Pengcheng smoothly.

Walking to the gate of the plane, Zhang Nan exhorted Jun Ji-hyun who was beside him: "[Tomb Raider] is an action movie with a big heroine, the emphasis is on the heroine being fair, beautiful and hot, so..."

Zhang Nan looked at the less protruding part of Jun Zhixian's chest with his eyes, the meaning was self-evident.

The topic is a bit of that.

But Jun Ji-hyun, who has rowed with Zhang Nan many times, just looked at Zhang Nan through his clothes and didn't make any moves, so it doesn't matter anymore.

Instead, after listening to Zhang Nan's suggestion, Jun Ji-hyun nodded seriously.

Seeing Jun Ji-hyun's appearance, Zhang Nan quickly explained: "I'm not asking you to have an operation, and it's too late. You're going to fly there right away, and the filming is about to start. I mean, when shooting, put some props on it." understand?
And the most important thing is that you must tell the director that the character image must be whiter and more beautiful, don't be too yellow or earthy. "

Now that the [Tomb Raider] series has been embraced, Zhang Nan must not let it go the same way and decline after the second part.

But [Tomb Raider 1] was a big success at the box office, and Zhang Nan couldn't change it blindly, so he had to let Jun Ji-hyun's image be processed.

Moreover, Zhang Nan has reason to believe that Angelina Jolie's yellow and not trashy look made a big contribution to the box office failure of "Tomb Raider 2".

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. After Warner took over and restarted the project, the way was still the old way, but the heroine was changed into a fair, sexy, and beautiful look, and the box office of the movie rose.

"Then... how big are the props?" Quan Zhixian asked Zhang Nan a little at a loss, having never done this before.

After Zhang Nan heard the words and thought for a while, he used his hands to simulate the air and weighed his experience on various models in the past.

"To attract the audience's attention, but not too exaggerated, too exaggerated is not good, anyway, at least lower your head so you can't see your toes, it should be a reasonable degree of exaggeration!" Zhang Nan gave the answer.

Jeon Ji Hyun: "..."
