Chapter 623 Ziyi [Maze Moving] and Chenglong

Mainland.

Longbow Film and Television City.

After giving some advice to Robert Downey Jr., Zhang Nan went to the crews of "The Hobbit 3" and "The Hunger Games 3" to give guest roles, and then returned directly to the mainland.

When Zhang Nan came back, it was almost the end of January.

"Private Order" and "Police Story 2013", which were previously popular in the mainland film market, are now experiencing weak box office performance.

But [Private Customization] has accumulated a box office of nearly 700 million yuan.

It is estimated that this threshold can be broken when the painting is finished, allowing Feng Xiaogang to get out of the previous decline of [1942].

However, sensitive and knowledgeable people can already detect that Feng Xiaogang cannot keep up with the trend in comedy movies.

After all, the gap between the box office of more than 700 million yuan and the box office of more than 1 billion yuan is still very obvious.

The cumulative box office of "Police Story 2013" is slightly worse than that of "Private Customization". So far, it has only exceeded million yuan in box office. It is estimated that there is no hope of breaking through million yuan in box office by the time it is released.

But is Zhang Ziyi so rich?

But Zhang Ziyi's acting career for so many years is still a step above that of mainland artists. He can probably make a lot of money just by relying on the endorsement fees of high-end brands.

She had a boyfriend who was a rich man before. Although she may have been prostituted for free and she didn't make much money, she may have lost her pink youth.

no way.

From another perspective, being able to take Otata, a box office poison, and get more than 500 million yuan in box office against Feng Xiaogang also shows that Chenglong's strength is not low.

Therefore, many people have felt Chenglong's box office appeal in the mainland. It seems that he has not returned to the top box office star position with the success of the previous "British Showdown", but has only returned a little bit, reaching the level of a first-line box office star. .

Of course.

"Have the three remunerations for [Star Wars 7] been finalized?" After Zhang Nan returned from North America, he went home to visit the five Korean and Japanese girls who were about to give birth. After taking a short rest, he immediately returned to the long-term work. He asked old Luke in his office in Gong Film City.

This thought just flashed through Zhang Nan's mind.

When this wave of children is born again, the number of his offspring will reach the peak of single digits.

Zhang Ziyi?

Zhang Nan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that she would get the last spot.

You must know that this is the "Police Story" series that Chenglong became famous for before!

"Jingtian and Fan Bingbing, this was roughly determined before you left. The final payment has been received. I tend to give Zhang Ziyi the last spot because she also asked director Zhang Yimou to help connect them, and the price was also in place." Old Luke explained to Zhang Nan.

But these have little to do with Zhang Nan. He just collects money to sell things, so Zhang Nan just thinks about it for a brief taste.

"I don't care who it is, as long as you have money."

Zhang Nan has no idea who should be the last of the three supporting players, as long as he has money. But when it came to the list of these three supporting actors, Zhang Nan remembered that Da Tiantian was now a contracted artist of his Longbow Film and Television, which made him feel a little numb.

"Old Luke, please talk to Hu Ge and Da Tian's agents later and free up the March schedule. I'm going to North America this time and I happened to make a cameo in [The Hunger Games 3]. It’s a B-level project with male and female lead roles,” Zhang Nan said.

Old Luke was a little puzzled when he heard this, "By coincidence?"

Can you still get a lead role in a B-level project by chance?

You must know that although the investment in a B-level project is not as large as an A-level project worth over 100 million U.S. dollars, it can still start with a smaller investment of tens of millions of dollars.

Zhang Nan saw Old Luke's doubts and explained: "Twentieth Century Fox's new project is called [The Maze Runner], with a production fee of 3400 million US dollars. The director is a newcomer, but he is still a fan of mine, and it happened to be in [The Hunger Games]. 3] When the crew inspected the shooting environment outside the studio, he was so excited that he couldn’t speak when he saw me, and he had to ask me to give him some pointers.

It was so enthusiastic that I couldn’t resist, so I read the script.

I feel that the pacing and lens design are quite good. I feel that after the film is released, not only it will be a box office hit, but the probability of making a small profit and making a sequel will continue to sell at the box office is still high.

I also thought that Datada had just joined the company. Although it was a bit sudden and not very formal, the big gift package was still necessary, so I recommended Datada by the way. To be on the safe side, I also brought Hu Ge with me. .

After all, although Hu Ge has stopped working in Hollywood in recent years, his previous project "Blackjack" still made him famous. Being able to star in this project is considered to be a "match".

The new project producer from 1th Century Fox who happened to be with him is also an old acquaintance of you and me. In "Titanic" and "Avatar", the old Ross who was responsible for the funding review wanted me to urge James. Cameron, get the sequel to [Avatar ] out quickly.

It was originally a small project with little attention, but now the Mainland film market is so prosperous, plus my reputation and the director and producer of the project, one is my fan and the other wants something from me, so it was decided. . "

After listening to Zhang Nan's explanation, Old Luke recognized the word coincidence that Zhang Nan had said before.

no way.

This is really a coincidence.

"I will explain the situation to Hu Ge and Jing Tian's agents soon."

Old Luke nodded, wrote down this matter, and then said: "After Chenglong in [Police Story 2013], it seems that there are no projects on hand. I want to start the sequel project of [English Showdown]. What do you think?" ?”

Zhang Nan was stunned for a moment, and then recalled that there seemed to be no Chenglong projects in the original time and space in 2014. It was not until 2015 that one "Heavenly Lion" and "Railway Flying Tiger" were released.

I have a free year!

How much less commission will I have to take?

So Zhang Nan’s attitude towards Chenglong’s request in Old Luke’s words is.

"I think it's very good. France 3 TV is going to start working on "Rescue " soon. If here they haven't even finished the second part of the "Dull" series, then the progress will be too slow. The plot design is also a bit mismatched, so let the relevant departments of the company give full support and try to release it this year."

Old Luke understood Zhang Nan's attitude, took note of it, and then continued: "The crew of [The Wandering Earth 1] has almost finished the model and special effects of the fifth-generation machine. Now I need you to go and give those shots to The filming was completed, and then regarding the matter of inviting Zhou Xingxing to star, the progress was a bit slow, and Zhou Xingxing seemed to be a bit resistant to starring."

"It's okay, I'll just talk to him." Zhang Nan replied.
