Chapter 238 Making Old Shots...Long Experience

After seeing off Tom Cruise, Zhang Nan just returned to sit on the sofa in the living room.

Julia Roberts was wearing a suspenders, went down from the second floor through the stairs, walked to Zhang Nan's side, then sat directly in Zhang Nan's arms, curled up her legs, and then tucked Zhang Nan's coat with her hands, Put it on yourself.

After finishing all this, Julia Roberts didn't say anything.

But Zhang Nan, who was already very familiar with Julia Roberts, knew without thinking that Julia Roberts was asking him for resources again.

but……

Zhang Nan is indeed a little tight at the moment.

So Zhang Nan kept silent and said nothing, trying to perfunctory the past in this way.

As a result, when Julia Roberts saw this, she directly opened her mouth to find a topic: "What did Cruise come to you just now?"

"He wants to cooperate with Spielberg on a project, and he knows that I have a strong relationship with Spielberg, so he wants me to make a match." Zhang Nan replied honestly.

After hearing the words, Julia Roberts said, "Then can you help me make a match?"

"What project?" Zhang Nan asked directly after hearing the words.

Because if Julia Roberts has a goal, it will be no problem for him to help match it up. After all, there are basically no film and television companies, directors, and superstars who can not give him face in Hollywood.

As a result, Zhang Nan knew he had been tricked when he didn't get a reply for a long time after the voice fell.

Julia Roberts has no goal at all, just said this on the grounds, and then let him help complete the rest.

After the corners of his eyes twitched, Zhang Nan really couldn't help it. He spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I really don't have any resources on hand at the moment."

"No resources?

No resources, what were you doing near me last night?
And don't think I don't know, you didn't have any resources in your body in the middle of the night last night, why didn't you spread your hands at that time, saying that you didn't have resources and quit?

Now what do you mean by telling me this?
Ah!
Please speak!

I did it for nothing last night, or you did it for nothing. "

Faced with Julia Roberts' rebuke, Zhang Nan really couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, people's potential is forced out, or forced out.

In short, Zhang Nan, who was forced to be impatient, finally came up with a project-[Resident Evil 1].

This project has little direct relationship with Zhang Nan, but Zhang Nan can also have a little indirect relationship.

The heroine Milla Jovovich, Zhang Nan and she worked together in Luc Besson's "The Fifth Element".

At that time, Milla Jovovich was Luc Besson's legal wife, but Milla Jovovich has now become Luc Besson's legal ex-wife.

Whether Zhang Nan directly greeted Milla Jovovich, who had a cooperative relationship, or indirectly through Luc Besson, plus his personal weight, in [Resident Evil] this In the project, there is a great chance to get a film contract for Julia Roberts.

"[Resident Evil], a movie with a leading heroine, but the position of the leading heroine has already been determined, I can only make an appointment for you with an important female supporting role, how about it?" Zhang Nan turned to Julia Roberts said.

Julia Roberts' eyes lit up when she heard Zhang Nan's main heroine project, and she muttered, "It's just a supporting role?"

Zhang Nan knows that Julia Roberts is interested in the position of the heroine. To be honest, with Zhang Nan's current status, if he really works hard, he can get it.

But... not worth it.

So in the face of Julia Roberts' doubtful inquiry, Zhang Nan quickly nodded affirmatively, "At most female supporting roles."

Hearing Zhang Nan's affirmative words, Julia Roberts still did not give up, but she also knew that it is better to rely on words than to rely on words.

As a result, Julia Roberts just bowed his head, and Zhang Nan, who knew Julia Roberts very well, lifted his pants and ran away.

Seeing Julia Roberts running away with her hands on her pants, she was shocked at first, and then shook her head helplessly.

2001 4 Month 22 Day.

The animated movie "Shrek" produced by DreamWorks was released when the summer vacation was approaching.

The purpose is very simple, to accumulate some heat before the summer vacation, and then rub the heat of the summer vacation, so as to get a good box office result.

Then about two weeks later, Universal Pictures invested 9800 million US dollars in the sequel to "The Mummy" - "The Return of the Mummy", which was released on May 5, which was regarded as the first shot of the 4 summer vacation in North America.

This "Mummy Returns" is still directed by director Stephen Sommers, and the characters are almost created by the original crew of the first film.

There are about three main impressions of Zhang Nan on this movie.

The first point: This series has appeared in the novel of [Infinite Horror].

The second point: The future Hollywood muscular hunk Dwayne Johnson made his official debut here.

The third point: Director Stephen Sommers is a director worth wooing and has a lot of production resources, because he later directed [Van Helsing], [The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor], [Special Forces: Rise of Cobra] ... Wait for the blockbuster.

When these two films were released, Zhang Nan was invited to attend the premiere.

But Zhang Nan didn't go and declined.

Because Zhang Nan is really busy during this time.

Either working with Old Luke to perfect the reshoot plan of [Survival at the End of the World]; or to check the edits of [Neon Martial Arts] that have been filmed.

Fortunately, after a lot of busy work, the editing of [Neon Martial Arts] has been completed, and the release time has been confirmed, which will probably be released at a good time at the end of the summer vacation.

Then the plan for the remake of "Survival in the Doomsday" has basically completed the general framework.

"The basic disk is almost done, and the rest is expansion, filling... and other things that need to be paid for, so we have to find someone to invest now, Luke, who do you think we should look for? Is it better for a giant to invest?"

Looking at the ten thick stacks of A4 papers in front of him, Zhang Nan felt quite proud.

Because basically only 4% of each stack of A50.00 paper is the original version of [Survival in the Last Days].

The remaining 50.00% is Zhang Nan, Old Luke, and a group of Hollywood screenwriters who have been recruited to fill in the general plot framework in these days, and Zhang Nan is the main contributor to the plot.

Old Luke also looked at the ten thick stacks of A4 papers in front of him, but he seemed to see ten golden mountains. After hearing Zhang Nan's question, he said, "Disney, Paramount and Columbia."

"Heroes see the same thing!"

Zhang Nan patted Old Luke on the shoulder, and then asked, "Then...how much is the asking price?"

Old Luke paused, and after thinking for a moment, he stretched out two fingers tremblingly: "Two hundred million dollars?"

"It's too petty. Do you know that this is a remake? The price has been lowered. What do fans think? Do you think we are cutting corners?" Zhang Nan strongly opposed it.

Hearing Zhang Nan's strong opposition, Old Luke was dumbfounded.

Do you think we are cutting corners?

Aren't we just cutting corners!
When you frankly make a shooting plan, I will be by your side, okay?

You don’t mean to retake many shots at all. You just plan to make the longbow special effects and use technology to make them look old.

To be honest, Old Luke was stunned when he saw Zhang Nan's operation.

I have only heard of calligraphy and painting, antiques made old.

It was the first time he had seen such an old lens, and he hadn't even thought about it before.

However, although he kept complaining in his heart, on the bright side, Old Luke still gave Zhang Nan a face and said: "Zhang, what do you mean?"

Zhang Nan waved his hand directly, and said, "Since it's a reshoot, it's natural that you can't lose a penny. I mean, it's the same as before, [-] million US dollars, maybe it's not enough."

Old Luke: "..."

Do you really know what you are talking about!

I can call out a production fee of [-] million U.S. dollars because I have been with you for a long time.

There are not many shots here, and if you put in Hollywood shooting, it's something that can be done with 9000 million US dollars, and you can get [-] million if you just open your mouth.

Zhang, you are only 30 years old, how dare you at your age!
"Will it be too much?" Old Luke said with some worry.

Zhang Nan waved his hands when he heard the words, and said, "It's not too much, let's say it doesn't matter, it depends on the attitude of Paramount, Columbia and Disney."

Old Luke agreed with Zhang Nan's logic, but he backed down in action. Instead of following Zhang Nan to negotiate with Paramount, Columbia and Disney, he let Zhang Nan go alone.
