How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 27 Wu Baige or Luc Besson

Time flies by on a film—even if it’s not an island action art film.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Nan finished filming his part in "Men in Black".

There may be some follow-up shots that need to be re-shot, but it will not take up too much of Zhang Nan's time.

In order to celebrate Zhang Nan's finale, the crew of "Men in Black" held a special party.

During this period of time, Zhang Nan and the crew of [Men in Black] got along pretty well.

Of course, the reason why they can get along so well is mainly because Zhang Nan is strong enough and has a bright future.

The others were looking at the dishes, and seeing Zhang Nan being so popular, they wanted to make a good relationship.

So at the party, there was an endless stream of people clinking glasses with Zhang Nan.

Especially Will Smith, who happily drank two more glasses of champagne before being so drunk that he didn't know his last name.

Nothing like a black guy playing hip-hop.

Didn't it mean that those who play hip-hop and rap are all proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling?
How did he come to Will Smith, drink two glasses of wine, and become like this.

Pulling the corner of Zhang Nan's clothes, he couldn't bear to loosen it.

"Okay, okay, I just finished this movie, not the whole person, why are you so sad? We can still meet, Hollywood is not big, even if we can't meet, can't we still make phone calls.

Let go, I will let you let go, if you don't let go, I will do it again. "

As he talked, Zhang Nan's tone became a little anxious.

Will Smith, who had drunk too much, began to touch Zhang Nan's coat.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Will is like this. He doesn't hold a lot of alcohol." Will Smith's manager and assistant hurried forward, and skillfully pulled Will Smith away from Zhang Nan and took him away.

The movements are very methodical, and the proficiency is not low at first glance. Obviously, it is not the first time to do this.

And without Will Smith, the scourge of not being able to drink, the atmosphere of the party gradually became warmer.

There weren't many people at first, it was just a small gathering of the crew of [Men in Black].

The location is also remote, and the crew just found a place outside to do it.

But slowly Zhang Nan realized something was wrong.

How come there are more and more people, and there are many people he has never seen before.

The reason for this certainty is that these extra people are either handsome or beautiful.

If he was in the film crew, after so many days of contact, it is impossible for Zhang Nan not to know each other.

"What's going on, why are there so many people suddenly appearing?" Zhang Nan asked Barry, looking around.

Director Barry raised his eyebrows, "Zhang, this is Hollywood, a Hollywood full of all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women who pursue star dreams."

Well, Zhang Nan understands.

These handsome men and beauties saw the crew of the A-level production [Men in Black] having a party, and in order to gain a chance to stand out, they must have come here like sharks smelling fishy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nan didn't plan to stay longer at the party.

If you drink too much, you will lose your mind.

In case the personality is messed up again, a little life will be created.

That's no small thing.

The relevant laws in North America are quite unfriendly to men.

Even if it doesn't bring out some life and some gossip, Zhang Nan is not willing.

He wants to be the cleanest superstar in the global entertainment industry.

Ok!

This statement is a bit false.

The truth is that Zhang Nan feels that the products outside are unsafe and of poor quality, and spreading the word will easily affect word of mouth.

And Zhang Nan has always believed that as a star.

Either don't do it, or do it in the circle.

Those who have no strength will find people outside the circle, and play some low-end grass fan behavior.

Those who are capable will find those in the circle, so what if they are exposed?

It's just gossip and hype, it's nothing, the old gossip in the entertainment section has been going on for so many years, and it's nothing new.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you don't take pictures if you like.

Otherwise, compared with photos and videos, the power of the latter is still too great.
-
The next morning.

Zhang Nan, who had drunk too much alcohol, woke up and felt a headache, so he walked out of the room and poured a glass of water.

It turns out that he has disappeared for a long time, the trainee agent old Luke.

He was actually sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a newspaper with a hand in his hand.

During this period of time, he has been focusing on the shooting of "The Man in Black", and all the outside business has been handed over to Old Luke.

I just occasionally contact Old Luke to get a general idea of ​​the situation.

Old Luke didn't come to him for any serious matter, but if he suddenly appeared today, something must have happened.

"What happened?" Zhang Nan asked while drinking water.

Old Luke nodded, then shook his head again, "Cooperation is here."

The filming of [Men in Black] has just ended, and there is a cooperation approach right away.

Although Zhang Nan was tired and wanted to take a break, he knew that he was still in the initial stage and had to work hard. He couldn't stop, but kept moving forward.

After all, working in Hollywood, especially for non-locals in Hollywood, is sailing against the current, and if you don’t advance, you will retreat.

"Which company?" Zhang Nan asked curiously.

Old Luke didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed the two film contracts to him.

Zhang Nan took a look at the two film appointments.

One is Paramount's [Face Changing], a top-level B-movie directed by Wu Baige, a great director from Xiangjiang to Hollywood, with an investment of 8000 million US dollars.

One is Columbia's [Fifth Element], a top-level B-movie directed by Luc Besson, a great director who came to Hollywood from France, with an investment of 9000 million US dollars.

The two projects are similar in that.

First, none of the directors are Hollywood natives.

Second, the cost of the projects is still less than 1000 million, but the investment gap between the top B-level movies close to [-] million is only [-] million.

This made it difficult for Zhang Nan to make a choice.

If you choose according to the box office after the movie is released.

The box office of the two original time and space films after their release is also very close.

[Face Changing] is 2.45 million US dollars worldwide, and [The Fifth Element] is 2.63 million US dollars worldwide.

The global box office gap of tens of thousands of dollars is basically negligible.

Choose according to the director's various conditions.

It stands to reason that Wu Baige is his fellow countryman, so Zhang Nan should choose Wu Baige.

However, Wu Baige's career as a director can be regarded as the type that rose up in the early stage and then collapsed halfway, not as long as Luc Besson.

But choose Luc Besson.

After all, Wu Baige hasn't collapsed yet, he is just getting started.

Don't even talk about dying.

Wu Baige just crossed the starting line and took the second step.

【Face Changing】is John Woo's second work after he came to Hollywood.

Wu Baige's first step in Hollywood, that is, his first work, was "Broken Arrow" with a box office of 7000 million US dollars.

in later time.

Wu Baige will also take the third step in his Hollywood director career in 2000 - "Mission: Impossible 5.45", which is the world's annual box office champion with 2 million US dollars.

　In the afternoon of 4.16, I have written 40 chapters, and there are still 18 chapters left before the [-]th chapter is saved. I feel that I can complete this small goal, but I still beg for collection, follow-up, recommendation and comment
