Chapter 519 Use [Harry Potter 8] to maintain your billion-dollar personality

Beijing Airport.

Zhang Nan got out of the car and walked onto his private jet waiting to take off.

"Is the deal done?" Old Luke asked expectantly.

Zhang Nan did not answer directly, but first sat on the sofa in the plane, lay on the backrest, and said comfortably: "One-month extension key."

"What else? This alone is only a profit of more than [-] million US dollars, which is not worth the time we spent planning." Old Luke continued to ask eagerly.

And it is true.

[Jurassic World 2] originally had a box office of around [-] billion yuan in the mainland. By extending the key for one more month of screening time, it can increase the box office by at most [-] to [-] million yuan, or [-] million US dollars.

According to the rules of the Mainland Film Market for foreign films, this US$[-] million box office can only be divided into [-]%.

Since it is a mandatory rule, Zhang Nan's [-]% box office share has also become [-]% ​​of the total box office share in the mainland.

After all, Hollywood producers can't get [-]% of the dividends in the mainland, so they can't give money to Zhang Nan.

Therefore, with a one-month delay of [-]-[-] million yuan and a box office of nearly [-] million US dollars, Zhang Nan can only get a profit of more than [-] million US dollars at most.

"Then the global distribution of new projects, as well as various sharing contracts, are all handled by Longbow Distribution and Longbow Film and Television Fund." Zhang Nan waved his hand to ask Old Luke to calm down and said slowly.

Old Luke listened to Zhang Nan's words and began to calculate the benefits.

Spielberg's reputation declined after "Raiders of the Lost Ark", although he regained his reputation with the release of "Jurassic World 4".

But it's not as good as before.

Therefore, Spielberg's new film will probably reach over [-] million US dollars in North America, and the global box office is expected to double to more than [-] million US dollars.

Then the distribution profit of the entire movie will be about [-] million US dollars.

Then there is the peripheral revenue sharing contract for the entire new project, Spielberg's remuneration sharing contract, and the sales on the Longbow Film and Television Fund.

For a project with a box office of more than [-] million U.S. dollars, with a little manipulation and flipping it on the financial market, you can make a profit of at least [-] to [-] million U.S. dollars.

This adds up to [-] to [-] million U.S. dollars, a profit of nearly [-] million, and it does not require any effort in the follow-up, just a little effort in the early planning.

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

Old Luke smacked his lips a few times, and suddenly he had an idea and suggested: "Zhang, this path seems to be quite profitable, why don't we explore more, since there are many old-time great directors in Hollywood who have nothing to do. "

Zhang Nan was speechless when he heard this.

"Only Spielberg can sell this price. How many Spielbergs are there in Hollywood?"

Old Luke: "..."

indeed.

Directors like Spielberg have been rare in Hollywood for many years, and only George Lucas and James Cameron can work side by side.

But although George Lucas is outdated, he still has the status of producer of Industrial Light and Magic and the [Star Wars] series, and he is not short of money and projects.

Not to mention James Cameron, who just released "Avatar" which grossed more than [-] billion US dollars at the global box office and is currently very popular.

"What a pity." Old Luke also thought about this and sighed.

Hearing this, Zhang Nan was not used to Old Luke, "Don't be a pity. This kind of project means you can make a profit by finding every opportunity. If you are in a hurry, why not think about it now and talk about it with Warner Pictures later?" My salary in [Harry Potter 8].”

Zhang Nan returned to North America this time to film the last part of the [Harry Potter] series - [Harry Potter 8: The Deathly Hallows (Part [-])].

The entire [Harry Potter 8: Deathly Hallows (Part [-])] project actually started filming in December last year, in order to catch up with the summer vacation release.

Zhang Nan's delay in joining the crew until now has already made Warner Pictures crazy.     “Are you still talking about remuneration?”

Old Luke's mouth was a little dry, because Zhang Nan's salary in the [Harry Potter] series seemed a bit scary to him, "Zhang, put it in [Harry Potter 7: Deathly Hallows (Part [-])] , the salary is tens of millions higher, higher than the main characters together, we are the big villains in the movie!"

"It is precisely because I am playing the role of the villain that I have to increase my pay in this last film and make my salary equal. And this is the last film. My role and weight as the villain are greater than those of the protagonist. If you are a high-ranking member of the group, you will naturally enjoy the treatment of the protagonist!" Zhang Nan said confidently.

Old Luke was made a little silent by Zhang Nan's absurd reasoning.

After a while, Old Luke said bitterly: "How far do you want to talk to Warner Pictures?"

There's no way, it's really not easy to talk about.

"8000 million U.S. dollars, plus [-]% of the box office share, the promotion must be based on the name and position of the starring role." Zhang Nan directly expressed his thoughts.

In fact, Zhang Nan didn't care much about the first two conditions. They were specifically mentioned to cover the last condition.

Without it.

Zhang Nan is now the loudest and most attractive name in Hollywood. So far, almost all movies with a global box office of one billion US dollars have been starring in Zhang Nan.

This title has brought so many benefits to Zhang Nan. It is impossible for Zhang Nan to let "Harry Potter 8: The Deathly Hallows (Part 13.52)" with a global box office of [-] billion US dollars to break his title. .

and……

Ten percent of the box office share is also 1.352 million US dollars!

Not a small income.

"I'll try my best to talk to Warner." Old Luke nodded with difficulty.
-
  early February.

[Harry Potter 8: Deathly Hallows (Part [-])] Inside the set.

Zhang Nan is performing diligently in front of the camera, while the three grown-up protagonists on the other side have faces full of envy and sadness.

Without it.

Warner Pictures finally agreed to Zhang Nan's price increase conditions. After all, the movie was scheduled to be released during the summer vacation and there was no time to argue with Zhang Nan.

This result is naturally satisfying for Zhang Nan.

But for the three major players in the protagonist group, it was a bit of a blow.

Because the three of them have just completed negotiations on film remuneration with Warner Pictures.

Among them, little Harry's fixed salary increased from US$7 million in [Harry Potter 2000] to US$3000 million.

Then little Hermione and little Ron went from a fixed salary of US$7 million in [Harry Potter 1200] to US$1800 million.

At the same time, the three people's originally small box office share was increased.

The total of the three people's shares is almost [-]%.

With the release of "Harry Potter 8", the three of them will earn a total of tens of millions of dollars on top of their income of more than [-] million US dollars.

Originally, the three of them were somewhat proud.

After all, children will be happy if they get first place in various rankings.

Then Zhang Nan's wave immediately exploded.

8000 million US dollars plus a [-]% box office share left the three of them stunned.
