China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 377 Return to Japan

The production budget of Avatar is as high as 2 million yuan, and Cameron is now struggling to find investors.

If YouTube Movies is willing to invest and Cameron cooperates with the digital field again, it will be a sure thing.

Anne said: "We have already negotiated with Cameron about YouTube Films' investment in Avatar, and all terms have been agreed upon, including investment overruns and subsequent publicity expenses.

It will take another week for the investment contract to take effect.

[-]th Century Fox has the first right to invest in Avatar. Once they receive the notice, if they do not have the right to use it within the specified time limit, our investment contract will take effect. "

Zhang Nanyi nodded and asked: "Is YouTube Films the only one investing?"

Anne explained: "Amanda was also very interested after knowing that Avatar was your favorite movie project, so Hearst Capital also participated in the investment. Plus Cameron's own company Lightstorm Entertainment, there are currently three producers. We It is the big one, accounting for 60% of the revenue share.

Everything depends on what [-]th Century Fox thinks. If they want to participate, our share will be reduced.

However, according to my estimation, [-]th Century Fox should give up the right of priority investment.

Its parent company, News Corporation, has been making big moves recently and has spent more than a billion dollars on acquisitions on the Internet.

Mercado has publicly said that News Corp. is now prioritizing the expansion of its network business and will continue to increase investment and acquisitions in the network business.

Affected by this, [-]th Century Fox's capital flow was tight during this period, and its investments tended to be conservative. "

In the previous life, 2006th Century Fox delayed investing in Avatar until October 10, which was also related to the actions of News Corporation.

Zhang Nanyi said with a smile: "It's best for Fox to give up. We will lead the project and have a greater say. I will set up a special effects company in China later, and then I will send some people to the Avatar crew to learn techniques from the crew."

Annie nodded and said: "No problem, there are many Chinese in the digital field, I will arrange reception."

After talking about business, Zhang Nanyi took Annie and Li Yinxin back to the villa in Yosemite.

When she bought the villa here, Liu Xiaoli bought two in total. Later, in order to live close to Zhang Nanyi, Jing Tian bought another one, and Mo Beiwu bought one.

In Yosemite, Zhang Nanyi still has three villas that he can live in. Although they have been vacant, they have been regularly taken care of and maintained. These three villas are in a state that is ready to move in at any time.

Annie and Li Yinxin gave up their status as exchange students in order to start a business, and their dormitory at Yanda was taken back. Zhang Nanyi arranged for them to live in another villa under his name.

Mainly because Li Yinxin was here, otherwise it wouldn't matter if Annie lived directly at home.

Li Yinxin said that Annie should go first and help herself. When she arrived at the villa, she was even more enthusiastic than Annie.

She immediately pulled Zhang Nanyi into the bathroom. After a while, her body was pressed tightly against the bathroom glass.

Annie smiled and cursed, and walked in...

In the evening, Liu Xiaoli arranged a barbecue dinner in the courtyard of the villa to give Annie and Li Yinxin a break.

Liu Xiaoli became more and more fond of Annie, her unrelated quasi-niece. The main reason was that Liu Xiaoli knew Zhang Nanyi's plan.

In the future, their overseas funds and business in the United States will basically be left to Annie to take care of.

Annie is very smart. She knows the situation between Zhang Nanyi and Liu Xiaoli, but she never says much. She also respects Liu Xiaoli very much and even tries to please her, so she gets along very well with Liu Xiaoli.

Knowing that Annie came to Yanjing, the three girls were very sweet and ended their training early and returned home.

Both Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were very enthusiastic towards Annie. Liu Yifei felt that she was the master and she should entertain Annie, her cousin, while Shu Chang often communicated with Annie during this period and asked her for business management knowledge.

Only Jing Tian was unfamiliar with Anni, but she and Li Yinxin had a common language, and the two chatted together quickly. Maybe this is what the top second generation have in common.

After a barbecue party, everyone sang, danced and ate, and gradually became familiar with each other.

So when Zhang Nanyi was practicing immortality in the evening, Annie and Li Yinxin also joined in. As for Shu Chang and Jing Tian, ​​they assisted on the side and learned some new knowledge.

For the next period of time, Zhang Nanyi stayed in Yanjing, taking Annie and Li Yinxin to meet other women, and also took them to experience the ancient Chinese tea culture and brothel culture...

In his spare time, Zhang Nanyi also finished writing the script of "The Night When the Comet Came", and together with Yu Min and others, polished and perfected the script of Sword and Sword III.

On the morning of September 9, Zhang Nanyi, Annie and Li Yinxin arrived at the Capital International Airport. Their vacation was over and they were going back to the United States.

In the VIP lounge of the airport, Anne said: "Twentieth Century Fox has confirmed that it will give up its priority investment rights, Avatar's investment has been confirmed, and the project will be led by YouTube Films.

I remember you said before that if you want to make a rice drama, when will you start the project? "

Obviously, Annie was reluctant to leave Zhang Nanyi, so she looked forward to Zhang Nanyi going to the United States to film TV dramas.

Zhang Nanyi shook his head and said: "There is no such plan for the time being."

Annie heard Zhang Nanyi's answer and had already expected it. She suggested: "What do you think of Iron Man and Wolverine? The copyright of Iron Man is already in our hands.

The rights to Wolverine are still in the hands of [-]th Century Fox, but their finances are tight now. If we offer a suitable price, we should be able to buy it.

The film industry in the United States is very powerful. The shooting time for a blockbuster is only three to four months. If you are more prepared, it can be faster. "

Annie is very smart. She has summarized Zhang Nanyi's film and television dramas. Most of them are very efficient and fast, and compress time. She thinks this is Zhang Nanyi's work style, so she persuades him in this aspect.

Zhang Nanyi thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look at the box office of this rescue first. I wonder if American audiences will resist having a Chinese face as the protagonist."

Anne shook her head and said, "I grew up in New York, and I can tell you responsibly that the aesthetics of the East and the West are actually the same.

Whether they are handsome guys or beautiful girls, their characteristics are similar.

What everyone likes is a handsome guy, a strong handsome guy with the ultimate masculine tension. You have all of these, and there is not even a better man than you.

The reason why there are no movies about super handsome Chinese men in Hollywood is mainly due to the guidance and control of capital, and has nothing to do with the preferences of the audience.Think about it, do Chinese audiences mind Omi’s handsome guy?The same principle applies to Omi's audience.

Both Cheng Long and Li Lianjie can succeed in Hollywood, and you can even more so. "

Zhang Nanyi touched Annie's head and said with a smile: "Being an entrepreneur is different. Your eloquence is getting better and better. If you buy the copyright of Wolverine, I will consider it.

It would be more interesting to combine Wolverine with Chinese Kung Fu and adapt it so that Wolverine goes to China to learn martial arts, learn Chinese Kung Fu, and suppress the animal nature in his body. "

Seeing Annie's happy look, Zhang Nanyi reminded: "Even if I want to shoot Wolverine, it won't necessarily be in the United States. The shooting and filming may be in other places."

Zhang Nanyi remembers that most of the filming of Wolverine in the previous life was in Australia and New Zealand.

If he really wants to play Wolverine, he will definitely shoot in China and incorporate Chinese elements.

Annie kissed Zhang Nan and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you make such a global movie, you will definitely go to the United States to promote it.

And I love seeing you shine and take center stage. "

What Zhang Nanyi didn't know was that Annie was already secretly planning how to use the influence of the Promotion Association to buy all the copyrights of the X-Men series directly from [-]th Century Fox.

After getting tired of Zhang Nanyi at the airport for a long time, Annie and Li Yinxin got on the plane back to the United States, accompanied by their bodyguards.

Zhang Nanyi did not go home either. He took two bodyguards to another boarding gate and prepared to fly to Japan.

The Legend of the Condor Heroes will be broadcast on October 10st, the National Day.

Zhang Nanyi's influence is now growing. Under his coordination, Hong Kong Island, Bay Island, Japan, Korea and other places will broadcast The Legend of the Condor Heroes on October 10st.

This arrangement is to expand the influence of the premiere of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and get more panel rewards.

In terms of overseas film purchasing prices, Japan is still the highest, with a single episode costing up to 25 yuan per episode. The Condor Heroes has a total of 40 episodes. The purchase price of TV Asahi is 1000 million yuan.

Followed by Goryeo, this time Goryeo KBS TV station took action. After many rounds of negotiations, it won the rights to The Legend of the Condor Heroes in Goryeo for NT$20 per episode and a total price of NT$800 million.

It cost a lot to buy the copyrights from these two places. Naturally, Zhang Nanyi wanted to show off and go to the local places to promote it.

For two days from the 27th to the 28th, Zhang Nanyi participated in promotions in Japan. For two days from the 29th to the 30th, Zhang Nanyi went to Korea for promotions, and returned to China on October 10st.

After the plane landed in Japan, Mimoko Ishisai and Izumi Sakai came to pick it up.

After not seeing each other for a while, Itai Izumi is still dressed in her usual jeans, but her complexion is obviously better, her whole body is in good condition, and she is even more beautiful.

In the car, she hugged Zhang Nanyi's arm and said, "Nan Yijun, I need to receive treatment, otherwise the old disease will relapse~"

Zhang Nanyi laughed loudly, hugged Sakai Quanshui for a kiss, and asked: "After such a long break, when do you plan to release the single I wrote for you?"

Banjing kissed Zhang Nan back and said, "I plan to talk about it next year, and this year I will settle down and write more songs."

After hearing what Itai said, Ishisai Mimotoko, who was driving in the front, said: "The company is now focusing on the two English singles of the very sweet group, and the sales are very good.

Sachiko didn't want to cause trouble to the company, so she took the initiative to postpone the song release until next year. "

The very sweet English singles Good Time and Trouble Is A Friend were released in Japan in early September, and Liu Yifei and the others even came to Japan to promote them.

Because of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, the popularity of the three women in Japan has a certain foundation.

Moreover, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang and Jing Tian have the appearance of top sweet girls. In Japan, the image of a very sweet combination is very popular.

So when they went to Japan to promote in August, they received a great welcome.

The sales volume of the two English singles in Japan exceeded one million, which is considered very successful.

In comparison, these two English songs performed well on the charts in the Omi region, but their sales were relatively average, with a total of only 10,000+ copies.

Most people who bought the album did so because of Zhang Nanyi's lyrics and music.

However, the continued sales of these two songs are mainly due to the influence of YouTube short videos. Many Omi people have gradually fallen in love with these two songs.

Ishisai Mimotoko continued: "Maybe it's your success that makes many Chinese singers think that the Japanese market is easy to get along with.

Just at the beginning of the month, Bay Island singer Zhou Jiulun also released an album in Japan called "Initial J". The sales volume was only more than 2000 copies, and they were all bought by Chinese people. How miserable. "

Zhang Nanyi: "..."

After a moment of silence for Zhou Jiulun, Zhang Nanyi said: "This album of his is a collector's edition for Initial D. It is all Chinese songs. It is normal that it does not sell well."

Initial D's box office in Japan was pretty good, with 8 million Japanese dollars, or about 4000 million Chinese national dollars. So Chou Jialun took advantage of the popularity and wanted to enter the Japanese record market, but the result was very miserable.

The sales volume of this album is really at the 18th level...

Upon hearing this, Izumi Sakai immediately said, "Nan Yijun, your previous album was also in Chinese and sold a total of more than 300 million copies in Japan."

In Zhang Nanyi's album, in addition to Chinese songs, there were also Japanese songs, but Sakai Izumi turned a blind eye.

A woman in love will fall in love with her man without any restrictions.

Even a woman with personality like Sakai is no exception.

There is a saying that goes well, no matter what kind of woman she is, be it a royal sister, aloof, or a strong woman, once she really falls in love with a man, she will become sweet and delicate.
