How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 76 Sophie Marceau
Faced with Old Luke's stated interests, Zhang Nan really wanted to express it.

I understand what you said, but my body is too tired!

If God gives me another chance, I...of course I will choose to follow the old path.

However, you can complain, but you still have to bite the bullet and do the work that needs to be done.

Although in 1996, many people in North America were already surfing the Internet, the Internet played a certain role in the promotion of movies.

But the effect is still relatively weak.

We had to wait until 1999, after [The Blair Witch], which cost less than 2.48 US dollars, adopted viral publicity, won a global box office of [-] million US dollars, and completed thousands of times the profit margin.

Film and television companies will pay attention to the Internet's promotional effect on movies.

Therefore, the promotion of all Hollywood movies before their release is mainly to be promoted on popular entertainment programs on radio and TV.

Or the rough push, frantic erection of movie posters in all public places.

[The Fifth Element] As a B-level project in Colombia, there is a lot of publicity funds.

But it's not as rich as A-level projects, with millions or tens of millions of dollars in publicity expenses, radio, TV, local push...

Even tens of seconds of advertising time on the Super Bowl can be bought with arrogance and millions of dollars, and a multi-pronged approach is used to promote it simultaneously from all aspects.

[Fifth Element] With limited publicity funds, we can only focus on choosing one way to promote.

Luc Besson has chosen the current more mainstream, TV media program publicity road.

So after Zhang Nan got off the plane, he chatted with Old Luke for a while, and was taken by Old Luke directly to the recording site of a certain entertainment program.

"open!"

In the backstage of a certain entertainment program, Luc Besson, who saw Zhang Nan coming, immediately greeted him very enthusiastically.

The reason why Luc Besson is so enthusiastic about Zhang Nan is of course the joy of reuniting after a long absence.

But more, it is still out of consideration for the box office of [The Fifth Element].

I want Zhang Nan to work harder in publicity through his enthusiastic attitude.

Because although Zhang Nan is the lead actor and assistant director of [The Fifth Element], half of Zhang Nan's salary is still fixed, and half of the box office dividends.

It can be said that the higher the box office of [The Fifth Element], the more profit Zhang Nan made.

But—[Fifth Element] is far less important to Zhang Nan than Luc Besson.

[The Fifth Element] hit the box office, which is certainly a setback for Zhang Nan's acting career.

But this setback is a small setback that can be overcome.

Moreover, Zhang Nan is not only an actor, but also a director. At worst, he will turn around and become a director to make movies.

But Luc Besson can't do it.

The cruelty of Hollywood lies in the fact that, except for the really great directors, who have the chance to start again after many failures.

Others only have two chances at most, and newcomers only have one chance.

Failed?
I'm sorry, bye bye, where did you come from?

In the face of Luc Besson's enthusiasm, Zhang Nan is not gay, so naturally he will not use his cool butt to make someone's hot face, but also greets him warmly.

"Director, who is this?"

Just as Zhang Nan and Luc Besson were greeting each other, a beautiful figure suddenly walked over from the side.

Zhang Nan looked up when he heard the sound.

Sophie Marceau?

How did she appear here.

Seeing Zhang Nan's confusion, Luc Besson stood up quickly, stretched out one arm, and introduced: "Zhang, let me introduce to you, Sophie Marceau, the rose of France, is also my good friend. , I invited you here to help promote the movie."

After introducing Sophie Marceau to Zhang Nan, Luc Besson withdrew his right arm on one side, stretched out the other arm, and introduced Zhang Nan to Sophie Marceau.

But that's only half the story.

"Sophie, this is Zhang..."

"I know, Zhang from the East, I've seen his movies." Sophie Marceau interrupted.

To be honest, Zhang Nan really did not expect that Luc Besson actually knew Sophie Marceau.

Because there is not much news that these two people have cooperated in later generations.

But Zhang Nan thought about it again. France is said to be a country, but its area is actually equivalent to a province of SC plus a city of CQ.

How big is a provincial entertainment circle?
Even if two people have no intersection on the surface, they must still know each other after reaching a certain level.

It's just that Zhang Nan didn't expect that the relationship between the two was so good.

And it's so good at this time, so good that it can help to promote the film.

And after hearing Sophie Marceau interrupt Luc Besson's introduction, she directly said that she had seen her own movie.

Zhang Nan's face brightened.

For a man, being praised by a woman, especially a beautiful woman, is like being on steroids.

At this time, Sophie Marceau was just 31 years old. It can be said that she is very mature, and she has been famous all over the world for many years.

Being praised by such a woman, Zhang Nan suddenly felt that his legs were no longer sore, his waist was no longer painful, and he could go up to the [-]th floor in one breath.

As for Sophie Marceau, Zhang Nan still has some understanding.

Zhang Nan felt that Sophie Marceau and Gong Li in China were quite similar in their early life experiences.

Both of them found an older director when they were young, and then they had careers and relationships.

The only difference is that Zhang Guoshi refused to argue with Gong Li, and the two have no children.

On Sophie Marceau's side, it's the other way around. Sophie Marceau didn't want to argue with the director's old boyfriend Andrew, but the two gave birth to a child.

And the relationship between Sophie Marceau and director Andrew lasted longer than the eight years between Gong Li and Zhang Guoshi.

It lasted for 17 years, and it was not announced until 2001-although Sophie Marceau immediately found a new love of a North American producer in the same year.

To be honest, although there are still four years away from 2001.

But things like feelings don't deteriorate in an instant, but have a slow process.

In addition... Zhang Nan calculated, Sophie Marceau's old boyfriend Andrew, the director, is now 57 years old.

One 57, one 31.

Zhang Nan is only 27 this year, and now his body is a little weak, not to mention the old Andrew is 57.

Coupled with Sophie Marceau's current age.

Speaking of this, it's not that Zhang Nan has any thoughts about Sophie Marceau, but...well, Zhang Nan is indeed a little moved.

After all, which man would not be tempted after seeing a mature beauty?

Heartbreaking and not breaking the law.

And Zhang Nan felt that even if his heartbeat turned into action, he was not destroying other people's families.

After all, Sophie Marceau and Andrew are not married, they are just in a relationship.
