How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 52 The Unexpected Movie Date

After a long time, Zhu Guangcai picked up the phone and called the head in charge of the preparation of [Modu Martial Art Museum].

There were few words on the phone call, but the meaning was clear.

A production fee of 5000 million US dollars was paid over there, and I don't care how your preparations are doing.

Now, right now, right now, take me to the next level in every way.

The meaning behind the words is the same-spend all the money.

and so……

Originally, [Modu Martial Arts] could start filming when Zhang Nan returned to China, but now Zhang Nan is waiting for the crew.

It doesn't delay anything.

After all, the preliminary preparations are almost done, and it won't take much time to make changes.

By the end of November or early December at the latest, [Magic City Martial Arts] will be fully prepared, and then filming will start.

It does not conflict with Zhang Nan's original itinerary.

However, with the early completion of [Face Changing], the sequel of [Beijing Martial Arts] over there has been postponed.

A mistake here and there, Zhang Nan actually has free time.

For Zhang Nan, who has been busy for almost a year, that is really great. Zhang Nan kept sighing in his heart: I have been working hard for almost a year, and I finally saw a holiday.

Of course.

In this neutral position, Zhang Nan is not saying that he is completely idle.

As a star with a lot of enthusiasm, even if Zhang Nan wants to be idle, others will not see him idle.

Like Disney.

The two animated films he dubbed will be released soon.

Disney heard from Old Luke that Zhang Nan was free and fine, so he directly received some announcements to promote the movie to Zhang Nan, and Zhang Nan readily agreed.

Why are you happy?

The reason is simple, Disney is really giving money!

A three 10-minute announcement, a reward of 50 US dollars, who can refuse?

Ten years later, Robert Downey Jr. filmed [Iron Man 1], which was the price, and he would have to work hard on the crew for several months.

Zhang Nan's price of 50 for half an hour is 100 million for one hour, and 400 million for one day, which is even US dollars.

This is dozens of times as cool as a certain one.

I'm too stupid to agree.

But generally speaking, Zhang Nan is relatively leisurely.

However, the entertainment methods of this era are too old-fashioned in Zhang Nan's opinion.

So when he was free, after all, Zhang Nan liked to watch those classic movies to pass the time, and because of his rebirth, Zhang Nan was able to avoid bad movies and accurately find good movies.

"what?"

As usual, Zhang Nan walked into the movie theater wearing a hat and a mask.

In a movie poster full of European and American faces, he suddenly saw a familiar face - the future Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianlian.

Seeing the name of the movie poster - [Black Man], Zhang Nan's doubts disappeared.

To be honest, Li Lianlian at this time can only be said to be relatively popular in Xiangjiang, even Southeast Asia, and even in China.

But the fame in North America is not to mention famous, it is still in a state of almost nothing.

This "Black Man" can be regarded as Li Lianlian's first film that attracted attention in North America.

It was also because of this film that Li Lian was able to star in "Lethal Weapon 1998" in 4, and there was a period of glory after that.

Zhang Nan was about to buy a ticket to go in, to see what the Kung Fu Emperor, who was in his prime, was like, when the phone rang.

"Old Luke, what's the matter?" Not many people knew about his private phone call, and only Old Luke.

"Uh, I have a movie appointment, I think it's pretty good, why don't you come and see it." Old Luke over there hesitatingly explained.

Zhang Nan was very upset that the vacation was interrupted.

But hearing Old Luke's strange tone, after Zhang Nan thought about it, he decided to agree first and see the situation.

"Okay, go to my house to talk, you know the location."

It can be said that Old Luke knew Zhang Nan's house better than Zhang Nan, because the house was the procedure that Old Luke helped Zhang Nan handle.
-
in the villa.

Zhang Nan looked at the film contract handed over by Old Luke, read it for a while, and then glanced at the information of the heroine in the film contract, and he knew what the film was about.

[My Best Friend's Wedding] - the dark horse of the box office in 1997, with a global box office of 2.99 million US dollars.

The annual box office rushed to No.8 in the rankings, a typical successful work with a small cost and a large box office.

It is also a career masterpiece in which Julia Roberts proves that she has box office appeal.

Let's put it this way, "My Best Friend's Wedding" is to Julia Roberts, a bit like "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is to Bai Lily.

You must know that in Hollywood as a whole, from now to the next few decades, there are not many male stars who can earn 2000 million yuan per film, but there are about [-] male stars.

But there are only six actresses in the world who can earn 2000 million yuan for a single film, and Julia Roberts is one of these six.

And this "My Best Friend's Wedding" is the process of Julia Roberts transforming from a vase actress to a big heroine who can carry the box office alone, so that she can get 2000 million yuan for a single film. An important movie.

It can be said that without this "My Best Friend's Wedding", there would be no Julia Roberts who later advanced to the 2000 million salary club for a single film.

Because "My Best Friend's Wedding" is essentially a movie with a big heroine, the most brilliant heroine in it is Julia Roberts, and the hero is like a vase in it.

So "My Best Friend's Wedding" hit the box office after its release, which directly made Julia Roberts' status in Hollywood soar.

The film is a good film, and the box office is also good after its release.

It stands to reason that Old Luke has a good vision for recommending this movie to Zhang Nan.

But Zhang Nan knew Old Luke very well.

If this guy really had this kind of vision, he wouldn't have become that kind of guy in Hollywood under the care of his brother-in-law, the vice president of Disney, before he met him.

It's still only in the project stage of [My Best Friend's Wedding], except for the reborn Zhang Nan, it can be seen that this film will be a big hit at the box office.

In the eyes of others, this is just a somewhat ordinary project.

Because judging from the script, this is a somewhat vulgar love story.

Judging from the cast, the heroine Julia Roberts' reputation is just average now.

From the perspective of investment, the production cost of more than 4000 million can only be regarded as a small project in Hollywood, which is higher than the grade of a micro project.

There are not only one thousand but eight hundred such film projects in Hollywood.

There is no right to push it in front of Zhang Nan.

You must know that after the success of [Jingcheng Wuguan], Zhang Nan's subsequent films were all B-level films with an investment of 8000 million U.S. dollars.

That's because the director is Wu Baige, a fellow villager—that's what outsiders think of Zhang Nan.
