How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 259 Returning to North America
"What does Warner Pictures say about the collaboration on the [Harry Potter] sequel?" Zhang Nan asked Old Luke.

When Old Luke heard Zhang Nan's question, he immediately replied with a smile on his face, "Although Warner is still unwilling to offer an appointment for supporting roles, but the price has reached 2400 million US dollars, I guess if we stretch it, we can ask for a higher price. "

Zhang Nan waved his hand when he heard the words, "Don't procrastinate, 2400 million is 2400 million, this price is already very good, don't forget the [Harry Potter] spin-off film plan I mentioned to you before, because a small loss makes a big difference alright."

Old Luke naturally knew the seriousness.

After all, no matter how much this cameo film asks him to talk about, if it can talk about 2500 million US dollars, or 2600 million US dollars, it will almost come to an end.

But Zhang Nanruo became the protagonist of the "Harry Potter" spin-off film project.

So based on Zhang Nan's current coffee position, the fixed salary alone can be calculated in units of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Not to mention the film's global box office dividends and peripheral income, it will definitely be distributed to Zhang Nan at that time.

At that time, these contracts will be packaged and distributed to Wall Street through the Longbow Film and Television Fund, which will at least make a profit of several hundred million dollars.

It's just that the bloodline of the Stars and Stripes in North America still makes old Luke a little uncomfortable with the profit he can get in front of him, but he has to endure the profit that he doesn't make, so he reluctantly said:
"I know."

As the last day of 2001 passed, the time came to January 2002.

The shooting of [Doom Rebirth 1] has basically been completed.

The actual cost - about [-] million US dollars.

Book cost - 4.7 million US dollars.

Putting it all together, it can be considered that the production fee of [-] million US dollars has been spent.

To be honest, it is reasonable to say that the accounting of this ratio of funds is more difficult to achieve with technical means.

but--

The $1 million production fee for [Doom Rebirth 5] was raised through the Longbow Film and Television Fund.

Not only do they come from a wide range of sources, but investors also come for film and television financial products.

Not only do I not understand the fancy operations of the filming process, but I am not interested, and at the same time, I have no ability to supervise.

He is knowledgeable and has the ability to supervise Zhang Nan's four major institutions, Citigroup, Morgan, Lehman, and Rockefeller, but he is not interested in supervising the accounts of Zhang Nan's filming of "Rebirth of the Doom 1".

Even the four major agencies knew very well that Zhang Nan must be able to play tricks on the film's shooting funds.

But the four major institutions will not expose it, but will help Zhang Nan to cover it up.

Sometimes Zhang Nan's accounts in the newspaper were wrong, and the four major organizations would call to remind Zhang Nan to make changes when he had time, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

It's not that the four major organizations have become philanthropists, it's that the capital chain involved in Zhang Nan's Longbow Film and Television Fund, and the profits in it are a bit too big.

Among other things, the profit generated by the flow of 30 billion US dollars of water through their hands has already made them very satisfied.

Therefore, as long as Zhang Nan doesn't mess up the project, "honestly" shoots the movie, and the box office performance after the release is up to standard, the four major institutions don't really care about other things.

As for the accounting, although it is difficult and difficult to do, but fortunately, the filming of the entire [Doomsday Rebirth 1] was carried out in Longbow Film and Television City; the special effects were done in Longbow Special Effects.

Basically, it can be said that the entire process is within Zhang Nan's control, and it can still be done with some effort.

The reason why the 1 million production fee was not accounted for is that it is too obvious, and the second is that [Doomsday Rebirth [-]] is different from the [Doomsday Survival] trilogy.

The film distribution and publicity of [Doomsday Rebirth 1] had to be paid for by Zhang Nan, the producer.

If you don't keep any money, Zhang Nan has to pay for it.

And when Zhang Nan finished filming [Rebirth at the End of the World 1], [Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone] had already been drawn early.

With the final box office of 9.74 million, David Morris, the president of Warner Pictures, who knew this data, almost smashed the desk in his office, and hated Alan Toby, the president of New Line Pictures.

Without him.

It is really a movie with a box office of more than 9 million US dollars, although compared with a movie with a box office of one billion US dollars, there is only a gap of tens of millions of dollars in box office.

But the booing of the former is obviously much larger than that of the latter, and the difference in the rise of Warner Pictures' stock price is basically a grade less effective.

However, the president of New Line Films, though relying on [Lord of the Rings 1], attacked [Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone].

However, due to the competition with [Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone], [Lord of the Rings 1] itself also lost some box office.

So far, although [Lord of the Rings 1] is still barely hanging on the theaters of the global film market, it is only lingering, and the total global box office has just reached 8.5 million US dollars.

It is estimated that the possibility of breaking through 8.8 million U.S. dollars is unlikely, and the final box office may stay between 8.9 million and [-] million U.S. dollars.

But fortunately, let alone the global box office of 8.8 to 8.9 million US dollars.

Even if "The Lord of the Rings 1" is released now, the global box office of 8.5 million US dollars alone has made New Line Cinema's investment in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy return.

Now that only one of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has been released, the cost has been recouped, and the global box office has exceeded 8 million US dollars, which means that the box office of the next two "Lord of the Rings" movies will not be bad.

Therefore, the stock price of New Line Films has soared since this period of time.

This is also the main reason why David Morris, the president of Warner Pictures, almost smashed his office desk.

Hong Kong.

Inside Li Jiaxin's mansion.

During the filming of [Doomsday Rebirth 1], Zhang Nande came here when he was free, and asked Li Jiaxin to open up and have an in-depth communication with him.

"My filming mission here is basically finished, and I'm going back to Hollywood in a few days, so you pack your things and come with me then." Zhang Nan, who was holding Li Jiaxin in his arms, stroked the other Hair, said at the same time.

Li Jiaxin asked curiously after hearing the words: "Why did I follow Hollywood in the past? Let you continue to bully?"

"Columbia has made a big production of the manga adaptation [Spider-Man], invited me to guest star as a newspaper owner, and even gave me a few film appointments to take you to play." Zhang Nan explained, and said made his own plans.

After all, he gave a lot of resources to the neon and curvy female artists under him last year, but he didn't show much here with Li Jiaxin, which is a bit not good.

"I don't want to go." Li Jiaxin moved around in Zhang Nan's arms, changed into a comfortable position, and said insincerely, a little arrogantly.

Zhang Nan naturally heard the insincere meaning in his words, "If you don't want to go, you have to go. This is a notice, not a discussion."
