Chapter 103 New Projects

Before "Titanic"'s astonishing global box office of 18 billion US dollars was born.

Zhang Nan has a box office appeal of more than one billion US dollars in his hand, and he dare not use too much at one time.

So Zhang Nan has been waiting for the release of "Titanic", thinking of taking the opportunity to start a big project, and then "follow the trend" of "Titanic" with a global box office of 18 billion US dollars, and then give the global film market a big surprise .

Originally, what Zhang Nan thought was that he had cooperated with Disney and [-]th Century Fox so many times.

His wave of 'following the trend' projects is too big, and he definitely can't finish it all by himself.

At that time, I will share some profits with these two companies.

After all, we have been working together very well.

But now it seems that he is probably wishful thinking.

And this also woke up Zhang Nan.

In Hollywood, if you only deal with one or two giants, it is not safe, and you will be easily restricted.

"Then don't blame me for not paying attention to affection."

Zhang Nan made a secret in his heart, and then said to Old Luke: "Since Disney and [-]th Century Fox don't approve the project, then let's find other partners to cooperate on new projects."

Old Luke was taken aback after hearing this.

"Zhang, the copyright of the [Wuguan] series is all with Disney. If we find other partners to make the third part, we will be sued. Disney's legal department will help you avoid taxes. You should know the strength Yes! And it’s just a half-year postponement of project approval, which is no big deal, it shouldn’t be like this.”

Zhang Nan was stunned by the Disney legal department in Old Luke's words.

Of course he knew how big the Disney legal department was.

It is a lost wilderness, where you can be rescued by drawing a Mickey Mouse on the beach.

Zhang Nan didn't want to confront Disney's legal department.

So Zhang Nan quickly explained: "What I'm talking about is to find other partners and cooperate with new projects, not to cooperate with new projects of the [Wuguan] series."

Old Luke's eyes lit up when he heard that, his income was linked to Zhang Nan's.

And the more projects Zhang Nan has, the more income he will earn and the more stable his status will be.

Then his income will follow the tide and rise and stabilize.

"It's the new project you mentioned when you asked me to borrow [-] million from Citibank last time? Do you have a clue now?" Old Luke said in a positive tone with questioning words.

Zhang Nan glanced at Old Luke in his fifties in surprise.

He didn't expect that Old Luke could remember what he said so casually last time, and he still remembered it until now.

Zhang Nan nodded, "The type of movie and the rough script, I have a general idea."

In fact, Zhang Nan has already made a big deal about the specific investment.

But the number is a bit too big, and now [Titanic] hasn't been released yet, it's easy to scare old Luke, so I didn't tell it.

After all, the cost he estimated, even the current film history box office champion, can't pay back.

"What type?" Old Luke took advantage of the situation and continued to ask.

Zhang Nan thought for a while, and said, "It can be regarded as a disaster movie of the end-time crisis!"

"I'm afraid this is not a small investment!" Old Luke couldn't help muttering when he heard that it was the end of the world and a disaster.

As for Old Luke's question, Zhang Nan didn't speak, but nodded vigorously.

Choosing this theme, Zhang Nanchong's investment is huge.

Because Zhang Nan is very clear, although the box office appeal is his personal golden finger.

But with his current energy in Hollywood, the project profit of a few hundred million less box office is the limit he can eat.

If there are any more, it will cause embarrassment and covetousness from the Hollywood giants.

For example, the third part of the [Wuguan] series is like this.

But now the box office appeal in his golden finger is almost 30 billion.

The spending of hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions is not only a problem of endless spending, but a problem of more and more spending.

The [Modu Wuguan] was an example before: spend [-] million, and return [-] million, one increase and one decrease, no change.

No matter how much he spends, the effect of his golden finger will be artificially weakened by himself.

Then you can only increase your handwriting.

But the box office of more than one billion was obtained.

If he dared to take such a big profit by himself.

It is estimated that there is no way to mix in Hollywood.

After [Wolf Warrior 2], what kind of situation is it like for Wu Jin to leave the mainland film and television industry?

Although Zhang Nan was just a melon eater in his previous life, he still heard about it.

As for Wu Jin, a local, he was squeezed out like that after eating alone in the mainland.

Then he is an outsider in Hollywood, if Hollywood eats alone.

I am afraid that the situation is even more worrying, and it may not be a matter of exclusion or not.

But Zhang Nan would not be willing to give away such a large profit to others for nothing.

After all, the box office appeal, although it was all created by him, did not take much effort.

At most, it's just a little thought, and in the process, it often takes money, gets a name, returns favors, and enjoys the services of informal bathing shops.

But... Zhang Nan was at a loss for words for a while, but he adjusted immediately.

In short, Zhang Nan couldn't accept it if it was given to others for nothing.

So after some thinking, Zhang Nan came up with a 'best of both worlds' approach.

That is to increase the production cost and reduce the profit margin according to the situation, so as to ensure that the profit ratio of the exclusive share of it is maintained in an appropriate range.

Zhang Nan calculated that the box office appeal of 15 billion US dollars was cast.

The movie box office of this project must have a box office of at least 16 billion US dollars in the world!

After all, moviegoers always follow the herd.

And for the global box office of 16 billion US dollars, the theater chain and the producer will split it in half, that is, the box office revenue of [-] million US dollars, or even higher.

Because of the box office share of blockbuster movies, the producers can negotiate with the theaters, and they still have the advantage.

Moreover, a movie with a global box office of more than one billion US dollars will definitely have a lot of peripheral income.

So a movie with a box office of 16 billion US dollars can have a total revenue of about 12 billion.

Even if it costs a billion dollars, it will be profitable.

Of course, the cost of one billion is a bit outrageous, and people have to make a profit. After all, the film industry is all about making huge profits.

If you invest a billion in it, you can earn [-] to [-] million.

It can basically be said to be a loss.

So Zhang Nan felt that the cost of [-] million should be a figure that could be won.

Of course, even the figure of [-] million is quite exciting for today's Hollywood giants.

After all, the production cost of "Titanic" was more than 2 million yuan, and [-]th Century Fox couldn't bear it halfway. They found Paramount halfway, and this almost caused the president of [-]th Century Fox to jump off the building.
