How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 148 I'm sorry

Of course, Dick Frank, the president of Paramount, didn't say that.

Because his state at that time was similar to that of Odo Laid.

It's just that he has recovered from that state now, but O'Dorlad has not.

The reason is not that Dick Frank is more sober than Odo Laid.

Mainly because of the [Titanic] project, for him and Paramount.

It was a surprise, and I was forced into it.

And the [Doomsday Survival] project is for him and Paramount.

It's normal not to participate in it, after all, its relationship with Zhang Nan has only cooperated with a [face change].

But for Twentieth Century Fox, the project of "Titanic" was originally intended to be a sole proprietorship.

And [Survival at the End of Days] is the initiator, director and leading actor of this project - Zhang Nan.

The relationship with [-]th Century Fox is even more unusual.

Because [Independence Day], [Titanic], [Madou Martial Art Museum], and [I'm Crazy About Mary] are all projects that [-]th Century Fox and Zhang Nan have collaborated on.

Let's put it this way, the investor in the entire [Doomsday Survival].

If it is true, it means that Disney can overwhelm [-]th Century Fox in terms of its relationship with Zhang Nan.

Columbia can only stand shoulder to shoulder with [-]th Century Fox.

The rest of Universal, Warner, and MGM are even more incomparable.

So if we really talk about it, 18th Century Fox has a great opportunity to produce "Titanic" with a global box office of [-] billion US dollars as a sole proprietorship, and "Survival at the End of the World" with a global box office of more than one billion US dollars through a joint venture.

It was because Odorade missed such an opportunity that he could not extricate himself from it.

"That... I still have something to do."

Paramount president Dick Frank wanted an excuse to leave.

As a result, the phone in his pocket rang before he could finish speaking. After chatting for a few words, Dick Frank's expression changed.

The president of Twentieth Century Fox, O'Dolord, was a little surprised when he saw this. He wanted to wait for Dick Frank's call to hang up. He took the opportunity to ask, but the phone in his pocket rang.

"what?"

"Can you say that again?"

After O'Dorlaide hung up the phone, Dick Frank on the side had already finished answering the phone.

"Well, what did you say on the phone...?"

Odo Laid didn't want to reveal the news, but he suspected that the two had received the same message when they answered the phone just now, so he asked tentatively.

Dick Frank was speechless after hearing the words, they are all foxes of a thousand years, why are you hanging out with me here?
However, Dick Frank also knew that O'Dorlad was this aggressive, so he said a key word helplessly: "Zhang!"

O'Dorlaide understood it when he heard it.

Then the sense of regret in my heart surged up non-stop.

Single talk.

With a cost of 18 million US dollars, the global box office of [-] billion US dollars [Titanic].

It is indeed better than "Survival at the End of the World", which cost 19 million US dollars and earned [-] billion US dollars at the global box office.

The former is divided between him and Paramount, while the latter is shared by one vote.

but……

[Titanic] The ship capsizes, the hero is dead, and the heroine is old.

Apparently it was a one-shot deal and there would be no sequels.

And even if there is.

With James Cameron's beating nature, everything is ready, and it takes two years to make a film.

If you count the time for rest, preliminary preparations and so on.

I'm afraid it will take at least five years, and it may have to double (in fact, it really doubled, James Cameron's next movie [Avatar] was released in 09).

But what about [Survival in the Doomsday]?

Many characters in it died, but the protagonist Zhang Nan is alive and well.

It's easy to make a sequel.

In other words, [Doomsday Survival] is the seat here, at least you can dig the treasure for the second time, and there is a high chance that you can dig the treasure for the third time.

And on the surface, the profit ratio of [Titanic] is higher than that of [Survival].

But he couldn't stand the "Titanic" project. From preparation to official release, it took a total of five years, otherwise he would not have been dragged in and Paramount was dragged in halfway.

And [Survival at the End of Days]?

It was first reported in September last year by the rumors from Columbia.

But that's just the wind.

Then dig James Cameron in December, Spielberg in April... .

Filming began in May and will be released in October.

If you really count it, it will only take five months, which is twelve times worse than the five years of the [Titanic].

The utilization rate of funds and the turnaround cycle here are very different.

The most important thing is——

In the phone call just now, Ma Zai, his subordinate, actually told him that Zhang Nan had started shooting a sequel of "Survival at the End of the Day".

O'Donnell: ...

This is so fast!

Over there, [Survival at the End of the World] is still showing in theaters, and preparations for the sequel are about to start?

And then O'Dorlad came up with James Cameron's new project.

Yes, not long after [Titanic], James Cameron submitted a proposal for a new project-[Avatar] to [-]th Century Fox.

At that time, Odorlad was excited, thinking that James Cameron had changed his gender and his work efficiency had improved.

It turned out that he was overthinking.

Because until now, James Cameron's project called "Avatar" is still in the state of being a flower in the mirror.

Don't touch it, you can't see any substantial progress.

But what about Zhang Nan?

Although it is only a project.

But judging from O'Dole's understanding of Zhang Nan, and Zhang Nan's habit and speed of working on projects in the past.

This new project will be released in the next year at the latest.

Thinking of this, Odorade regretted his original decision.

Because at the beginning, he had a good chance to be a part of the [Survival in the Doomsday] project.

It's only 5000 million US dollars, and [-]th Century Fox can't afford it.

Dick Frank, the president of Paramount standing aside, watched Odorade's complexion and expression constantly changing, and his legs were about to go numb. He couldn't help but asked, "Oddur, do you want to participate?"

The meaning in the words is very clear, it is to ask [-]th Century Fox whether to participate in the sequel of Zhang Nan's "survival at the end of the day".

O'Dorlad was awakened from his thoughts by Dick Frank's question, then shook his head quickly, and said, "No, I still have James Cameron's new project in hand, so I don't have time to participate, do you want to participate?"

"I'm not involved either. Paramount has been busy working with Tom Cruise on his [Mission: Impossible 2] recently, and I don't have much energy." Dick Frank replied.

After getting the answers they wanted from each other, the two shook hands and got into their cars.
