How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 751 Warner Pictures: Man (man) can’t do it, go to woman (woman)
Including the initial fixed salary of US$5 million.

If Robert Downey Jr. chooses the former method of dividing accounts, he will directly receive more than 87 million U.S. dollars, which is close to 90 million U.S. dollars in salary.

The difference between the inside and outside here is not a few million US dollars, but more than 20 million US dollars!
It’s higher than the salary of a leading star in the Hollywood 20 million salary club!

"Donny, your box office predictions are very accurate, but I hope you won't use your box office predictions to decide your own salary next time.

correct.

Last time you said that you wanted me to give Marvel Studios a hard blow when you finally left Marvel. We have already signed the contract. Have you negotiated it with Marvel Studios?
When will your last Iron Man movie appear?

I have to make preparations early so that I can bargain for you! "Zhang Nan said after being silent for a while.

Robert Downey Jr. heard the tone of Zhang Nan's words and knew that he seemed to have made the wrong choice, but before he had time to sigh, his attention was diverted by the last content of Zhang Nan's words.

"Uh..., I have been in contact with the screenwriters from Marvel Studios. If nothing else, it will be the next film after [Avengers 3] - [Avengers 4]." Robert Downey Jr. Ni said a little disappointed.

After all, he has relied on Marvel Studios' movie universe plan to make a comeback over the years, and has made a lot of profits from it. Now that it is all about to end suddenly, he will still feel emotionally depressed.

But Zhang Nan made Robert Downey Jr. come out of his depressed mood with just one sentence.

"Do you want the US$100 million remuneration I promised you now or after everything is settled?" Zhang Nan asked.

Upon hearing this, Robert Downey Jr. responded eagerly: "If I can want it now, I definitely want it now! Zhang, you don't know how much money children spend."

Three years ago, Robert Downey Jr. had a little daughter, and he doted on her very much.

But as he spoke, Robert Downey Jr. shut his mouth.

Because he suddenly discovered that in terms of the number of children, although he was second-married and Zhang Nan was single, they really couldn't compare to Zhang Nan.

On his side, there are at most two teammates who are the main force, but on Zhang Nan's side, it is based on combinations and women's teams.

and……

Children do spend money, but compared with Zhang Nan's sky-high salary for each movie, it is insignificant.

……

After a brief chat with Robert Downey Jr., Zhang Nan was urged by the assistant director of "Avengers 3" to go on set for filming.

Zhang Nan didn't delay either.

After all, with the sky-high price of 20 million US dollars plus 1% of the box office share and peripheral income, he has to serve it well.

It's just that Zhang Nan only had a one-minute guest appearance, plus Zhang Nan's performance was spot on.

If the transition time hadn't been too long, Zhang Nan would have finished the work, taken the money and left within ten minutes.

But even so, it only took Zhang Nan half a day to finish his part, and then he said hello to Robert Downey Jr., Juan Fu, Star-Lord Chris... and others, and left.

……

5 month 25 day.

After "Jurassic World 3" has been raging in the North American movie market for more than days, the box office trend has finally sluggish, but it has also made more than million U.S. dollars in the North American movie market.

Then in other movie markets except the mainland, "Jurassic World 3" also performed quite well, taking in more than million US dollars at the box office.

Adding the two together, the cumulative box office of "Jurassic World 3" has exceeded the global threshold of billion US dollars.

It’s just that the box office data of [Jurassic World 3] in the mainland has declined a bit compared to the previous two games.

It only took in more than a billion yuan and close to 200 million US dollars at the box office.

The reasons for this situation are complex and multifaceted.

On the one hand, when "Jurassic World 3" was released, it first hit Aamir Khan's "Dangal!" Dad], and got into a fight with [Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2].

On the other hand, mainland audiences are a little tired of special effects blockbusters. But overall, the results of [Jurassic World 3] are still online.

This can be seen from the overwhelming response after Steven Spielberg once again announced that his new film "Ready Player One" will undergo global auditions.

And here [Jurassic World 3]’s box office performance has declined.

Over there, during this gap, Warner Pictures released the number one heroine superhero series in its own DC movie universe - [Wonder Woman].

[Wonder Woman] is considered a bold attempt by Warner Pictures.

After all, seeing how Marvel Studios is making crazy money from its movie universe and superhero series, while the DC copyright it holds that competes with Marvel has repeatedly failed, Warner Pictures simply cannot calm down.

So when seeing that [Batman] and [Superman], and [Batman vs. Superman] were not working, Warner Pictures decided that man (man) would not work, and they would use woman (woman).

It has to be said that Warner Pictures is stepping on the trend of the future this time.

[Wonder Woman] grossed more than 100 million U.S. dollars in the North American movie theaters in the first three days. If nothing unexpected happens, its final North American box office will be around 400 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office will be 800 million U.S. dollars. about.

It can be said that this wave of Warner Pictures has allowed its own DC movie universe plan to catch up with Marvel Pictures' nearly ten years of brewing and get the third phase of the movie universe plan.

After all, Marvel Studios has entered the third phase of the movie universe plan for ordinary superhero projects, and the total global box office is only between 600 and 800 million US dollars.

Then I watched Warner Pictures’ DC movie projects, which were always losing money, turn around.

Tom Cleese, who had been watching the game, couldn't help it anymore.

His new film after "Mission: Impossible 5", which is also a fantasy project - "The Mummy", was immediately released on the North American summer vacation schedule in late May and early June.

The result~
[New Mummy] made a thorough attack.

In this environment during the summer vacation, the box office revenue in the first three days was only more than 31 million US dollars.

It is estimated that the North American box office of "The Mummy" will be around 8022.7 million U.S. dollars (actually 4.04 million U.S. dollars), and the global box office will be around million U.S. dollars (actually million U.S. dollars). U.S. dollars).

But don't look at the global box office of "The Mummy" as high as 400 million, but Tom Cruise is not Zhang Nan, and he is not at his former peak.

His starring projects can earn about 50% of the box office revenue in the North American movie market.

As for the voice in global cinemas, it is quite low. The producers can only get back 30 to 40% of the overseas box office revenue of "The Mummy".

The production fee for "The Mummy" is as high as 1.25 million. Taking into account the publicity and distribution expenses, it is estimated to be million US dollars.

So after "The Mummy" hit the market, Tom Cruise immediately called Zhang Nan and wanted to start "Mission: Impossible 6" to restore his health.

Zhang Nan was at the China Film Headquarters building at this time, speaking to China Film President Kang Pei about the recent setback in the schedule of "Jurassic World 3" in the Mainland.

"Mr. Kang, although [Jurassic World 3] is not a co-production, I, as the leading actor, have helped a lot in various co-production projects between China Film and Hollywood. How could you do this to me? "Zhang Nan called Qu Dao.

"..."

Kang Pei was a little speechless after hearing Zhang Nan's words.

How the hell do you have the nerve to say that?

How many kickbacks did you take in the process?

Now that I have made a little less, I have begun to feel so frustrated.

"Director Zhang, Huaying has no intention of targeting your starring project. This is completely an accident. Who would have thought that an Indian movie could become so popular?" Kang Pei used two "completely" in a row to express his attitude.

At this time, Zhang Nan's cell phone rang, and the caller was Tom Cruise.

"You're probably talking to me about the [Mission: Impossible 6] project. Mr. Kang, how do you think I should talk?" Zhang Nan handed the phone to Kang Pei.

Kang Pei looked at the call notification on his cell phone, and then looked at Zhang Nan's movements and expressions. He always felt that Zhang Nan was threatening him with a co-production.
