How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 622 Iron Man Version of New Sherlock Holmes

It’s true that Robert Downey Jr. is superfluous.

Or to be more precise, basically all celebrities with a certain status in Hollywood will hand over their share of the remuneration to Zhang Nan's Longbow Film and Television Fund.

The reason for this phenomenon is, on the one hand, that Zhang Nan's Longbow Film and Television Fund is a pioneer in this field, has a first-mover advantage, and has a strong reputation over the years.

The other reason is that because of Zhang Nan's influence, everyone wants to cooperate with Zhang Nan.

Although Zhang Nan has not explicitly said that he will give priority to cooperation with artists who have done business with Longbow Film and Television Fund.

But everyone is not stupid. They know that if there are two actors suitable for the same role in a certain Zhang Nan project, then the one who gets the role in the end will definitely be the one who has a closer relationship with Zhang Nan.

This is human nature. Zhang Nan does not do this alone, but everyone in the world does this.

However, most people are too far away from Zhang Nan and have no way to have anything to do with Zhang Nan.

But just like there is no road in this world, and the roads are all made by people, smart people will always find a way.

As for Longbow Film and Television Fund, a group of smart people came up with a way to establish a relationship with Zhang Nan.

Have you ever seen what happened to overseas Douyin back then?

Moreover, the reasons and means of sanctions are beyond the lower limit.

Seeing one person doing this, other talented students in the field of interpersonal relationships and observing people naturally followed suit immediately, thus creating a situation where the Longbow Film and Television Fund was the only one in terms of the remuneration of celebrities and artists.

Zhang Nan dares to be 100% sure that he is not careful now and uses the contract to get some basic funds for Longbow Film and Television Fund.

then……

what?

You say that private property is sacrosanct and is the basis of the rule of law in the West?

"Since it's unnecessary, what are you afraid of if you sign it? It won't have any impact on you?" Zhang Nan asked rhetorically.

In the next five or six years from now, Robert Downey Jr., who lives in the original time and space, will receive a considerable amount of share of the film-sharing salary from Marvel Studios for his role as Iron Man.

Although his Longbow Film and Television Fund does not belong to the sanctioned industry, it still has some rights to speak out in the news. After all, it is a celebrity business.

It is indeed the foundation and a foundation that cannot be touched.

Those who can make it in Hollywood can be illiterate in terms of liberal arts and science knowledge, but if they have a degree in interpersonal communication and observation of emotions, they all have to start as graduate students, and many have PhDs.

The reason why Zhang Nan wanted to do this was mainly to consider the future conflicts in North America and the mainland.

There are people in the Mainland who spend one yuan to buy milk tea shops, let alone the capital world in North America.

This is not nonsense.

Then when the storm breaks out, some people will definitely focus on the way Longbow Film and Television Fund earns from stars' remuneration.

Not to mention the confirmation of Robert Downey Jr., a stable client of the future top Hollywood star, the increase in fame brought to Longbow Film and Television Fund is also immeasurable, and it can further consolidate the dominance of Longbow Film and Television Fund in the share of film and television star remuneration. status.

After all, the beatings of Vanity Fair are more cruel and direct than those of social universities, and they are also more training.

Without it.

Of course.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Nan happily won the contract.

After hearing this, Robert Downey Jr. thought about it again and found no flaws. He shrugged and signed with a big stroke of his pen.

Now with his help, Robert Downey Jr. will be more confident, allowing him to get more remuneration, and Zhang Nan can also steadily reap tens of millions of dollars in income with this contract.

But you may have heard too much Western propaganda, or you may not have enough experience, and you may be a little too straightforward.

But it is easy to cure. Just look at the bankruptcy cases of Silicon Valley Bank and Swiss Bank.

Obviously infringement is naturally not allowed.

But if you are trying to do something secretly, it will not be easy.

It is illegal to be strong, but to steal it is simply immoral.

As for real stealing or fake stealing?

Even gender can be ambiguous here in North America, but things of this nature are even more ambiguous.

Of course.

If this kind of thing were taken seriously, it would be really troublesome.

Lao Dong is just an example.

I spent some money many years ago to find a very experienced teacher from North America, Cang, who had been on TV and had fun. Once he became the number one in North America, he would be turned out and blackmailed.

However, it was not convenient for Zhang Nan to discuss these details with Robert Downey Jr., so Zhang Nan cleared his throat and said, "The next step is the key point."

"If you don't take something from the co-author, you won't talk about the key points? Zhang, no wonder you have been famous in Hollywood for more than ten years. You have really mastered this operation of not seeing the rabbit but not killing the hawk." Robert Downey Jr. Somewhat speechless.

"Without foreshadowing, how can the key points be highlighted? It's hard to understand!"

Zhang Nan explained calmly, and then continued: "Then returning to the topic, you actually have a very suitable series for you now. It is also based on your situation that I said that it can be suitable for your current situation. You need some guidance, otherwise it would be very difficult for me to help you out of thin air, and it’s totally not worth my while.”

Robert Downey Jr. is not stupid, and he doesn't have many series on his back. And according to Zhang Nan's previous statement, this project that allows him to prove his box office appeal is definitely not a Marvel Pictures project.

So Robert Downey Jr. immediately thought of what Zhang Nan mentioned.

"You mean [Detective Sherlock Holmes]?"

Robert Downey Jr. asked a rhetorical question at first, and then said in confusion: "Zhang, if this project can really be done, Warner Pictures won't stop after just two films."

"According to the previous method, the project will definitely not be able to be completed. We have to change the method, and..."

Zhang Nan stopped Robert Downey Jr.'s words and said, "In addition to cooperating with Marvel Studios, you also have a relationship with Warner Pictures.

Marvel Studios now wants to kick you out again, so if you want to get a starring project, the only partner left is Warner Pictures.

Then, it is difficult to build the popularity and fans of a series from scratch. We must pay attention to luck and strength, both are indispensable.

But it is much easier to rebuild the popularity and fans of a series on a once glorious IP.

Look at the successful series I have now.

"Rebirth" is a spin-off of "Survival of the World", "Voldemort" is a spin-off of "Harry Potter", "Legend of Sauron" is a spin-off of "Lord of the Rings", and "Jurassic World" is a spin-off of "Jurassic World". The spin-off of "Logan Park", "Transformers" is an IP film and television project with a large fan base.

Even [006] is a film of the same type that was co-produced with MGM and a little bit more popular than [007].

I only have "Survival of the World", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Avatar" and "Inception". These four movies have exceeded one billion in box office worldwide and are original series that have been successful.

But with the emergence of "Survival of the Doomsday", I gathered all the connections I had just a few years after my debut, including Spielberg, James Cameron, George Lucas... and other great directors who were still in their prime. We did it together.

And [Avatar] was created by James Cameron ten years after [Titanic].

[Inception] was created by me teaming up with Nolan, a new great director, and top artists in the action film genre - Chinese kung fu superstars. Once Nolan let go, I didn't care about the sequel. .

Only the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series was made possible by me alone, but it was also built with a large amount of financial support from Disneyland, the headquarters of Disney Pictures, so I was willing to give it a try. "

In fact, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series was not initiated by Zhang Nan. The main reason for its success lies in Johnny Depp's particularly attractive cult-like performance style when he first appeared.

But the credit must go to oneself.

“If you want to make a series that proves yourself, it’s best to put new wine in old bottles based on the existing IP. Renovating and rectifying the project of [Detective Sherlock Holmes] is the only and suitable way for you. .

Because the detective profession, from the setting up, naturally possesses superhuman abilities, which can be reasonably supplemented by the fact that you are good at being unruly, evil on the outside, good on the inside, and confident.

Then [Detective Sherlock Holmes] is another project that you starred in before. It is not too difficult to restart it now. "Zhang Nan continued.

"But...[Detective Sherlock Holmes] has failed twice!" Robert Downey Jr. repeated it again.

"Wait until I finish."

Zhang Nan looked at Robert Downey Jr. angrily and said, "What does it mean to put new wine in old bottles? New wine must be made new! Look at this."

Finished.

Zhang Nan handed another project document to Robert Downey Jr.

As soon as Robert Downey Jr. took over the project file, he flipped through it a little and didn't read any further because he was very familiar with the project - Curly Fu's "Sherlock."

The reason why his original "Sherlock Holmes" was approved by Warner Bros. was because the popular "Sherlock" created by Juan Fu in the UK rekindled the popularity of Sherlock Holmes.

It's just that Juan Fu's grade was too low at that time and was looked down upon by Warner Pictures, so they chose him to star in the film after he had just starred in "Iron Man" and became a hit.

“Sometimes I wonder what the minds of these giants in Hollywood are thinking. If they are just trying to stay outside without actually getting in, then who will fail if you don’t fail?

So the core of my suggestion to you is that the new "Sherlock Holmes" project should follow the "Sherlock" model and change the background to modern times.

Then learn the cool aspects of spy movies such as [007] and [Mission: Impossible], and combine it with some high-tech detective equipment.

These devices can be designed to be developed by Sherlock Holmes, who stars in the movie, and can also channel your interest in Iron Man to the new "Detective Sherlock Holmes" project.

By the way, have you watched Death God Elementary School Conan?

The watches, skateboards, running shoes... the ideas there are all pretty good. "Zhang Nan's thinking began to diverge.

As for Robert Downey Jr., after hearing that the new version of "Sherlock Holmes" completely copied the setting of "Sherlock", he felt a little enlightened.

Later, when I heard that Sherlock Holmes, who starred in him, was asked to research high technology, I felt like my whole body was starting to tremble.

This is it!

This is what suits me, and this is what I want.

Robert Downey Jr., who was in an excited state, was a little silent. Zhang Nan mistook Robert Downey Jr.'s silent state as being embarrassed to imitate others, so he explained: "Downey, you don't have to think that imitating is a bit awkward. Sorry, I copied a lot of articles from the world, just to see if you can copy, and..., your idea of ​​imitating Juan Fu's fame can be regarded as tit for tat!"

"What do you mean?" Robert Downey Jr. was puzzled by Zhang Nan's words.

"I heard that after Marvel Studios saw difficulty with the two Chriss (Captain America and Thor), they contacted the third Chris (Chris Pratt-Star-Lord) and made a [Galaxy] Guards] project.

And if the three Chrises are not good enough, Marvel Studios has already given up looking for people from North America and turned to the British entertainment industry to find new role players.

According to the news I have received, Curly is on the list of targets that are being contacted, and Marvel intends to let him play "Doctor Strange".

So if you copy his famous work and he replaces your weight in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you two are even. "

Robert Downey Jr.: "..."

I don't feel embarrassed or guilty at all, but after hearing what you said, I really feel like I'm at a disadvantage.

So Robert Downey Jr. controlled his inner excitement, pretending not to be optimistic about the idea given by Zhang Nan and said: "Zhang, the suggestion you gave sounds good, but Warner Pictures can listen to me repeat it. With your words, do you want to restart a project that has already failed twice?"

"You can say that in your new [Sherlock Holmes] project, I will play the role of Watson." Zhang Nan finished all the suggestions and relaxed directly on the sofa.

I have to say that with a design costing US$80 million, this sofa is really easy to lie down on.

When Robert Downey Jr. heard that Zhang Nan could play the role of Watson, he no longer hesitated about starting a new project.

There was even a little more expectation.

Together with Johnny Depp and Zhang Nan, "Voldemort 2" took in a box office of US$2.8 million in North America in its first week of release.

This new version of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" only stars him and Zhang Nan. He doesn't have high requirements. He doesn't even need to hit 1.4% of the box office. He just cuts it in half. It can have a box office of million US dollars in the first week, which is the total box office in North America. He would be satisfied if it could make to million U.S. dollars and the global box office could reach to million U.S. dollars.

"But when you are working on the script with Warner Pictures, you'd better pay attention to the appearance time of Watson's character. Although I came up with the idea for this project, my price still has to be calculated as usual. "

Zhang Nan added, causing Robert Downey Jr.'s joyful expression to freeze.
