Chapter 169 Investment [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon]

curved.

Under the name of Zhang Nan, in the villa where Ye Quanzhen lived.

45-year-old Li'an, sitting on the sofa in the living room, puts his hands together on his knees, looking up from time to time. Zhang Nan, who is carefully watching the sub-camera and detailed script he brought, has all eyes on him. It's envy.

Zhang Nan's rampant behavior in Nihong is equivalent to the operation of choosing a concubine. Ye Quan can really know from the newspaper, and Li An can naturally see it from the newspaper.

But Li'an is not envious of the pleasure brought by Zhang Nan's neon mischief—after all, he will be the man who will shoot "Brokeback Mountain" in the future—but envies Zhang Nan's status in Hollywood and in the international film and television industry and achievements.

In a foreign country, with no background.

He made his debut by directing and starring in a kung fu movie, and then it was a journey of rising with sparks and lightning.

Since his debut, he has not lost a single game.

Last year, it was even more casual, and a project with a production fee of [-] million US dollars was launched.

Then it was a big success, surpassing the global box office of 18 billion US dollars that Li An originally thought was outrageous in "Titanic", and took a global box office of 19.6 billion US dollars.

To be honest, it was the first time Li An learned about Zhang Nan's whole experience, he was a little dull.

And just as Li An recalled Zhang Nan's past in his heart for a while, he took a short errand.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that Zhang Nan had already read the detailed script and sub-shots of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" he brought, and put the script and sub-shots in his hand on the coffee table.

"Director Zhang?" Li'an quickly put aside the complicated thoughts in his heart, and in a questioning tone, wanted to ask Zhang Nan what he thought of the script and the shot, but only blurted out two words and a question mark.

Zhang Nan knew what Li An wanted to ask, waved his hand, and said in a lukewarm tone: "I've read both the script and the sub-camera. This project is a martial arts project, and it's easier for a Westerner to understand. Let's tell the story of Eastern Kung Fu!"

Hearing Zhang Nan's narration, Li'an immediately wanted to nod.

I feel that Zhang Nan deserves to be a person who can single-handedly make a breakthrough in Hollywood, but after a rough review of the detailed script and shot, he summed up his core creative motivation for this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

But Li'an was able to get his start in the small film and television circle of Wanwan, and he was absolutely top-notch in terms of observing words and demeanor and trying to figure out people's thoughts.

According to what Li'an learned, he felt that Zhang Nan should be a patriotic person who likes to promote the national culture, so he nodded his head halfway, and quickly stopped to explain: "Actually, it's not like wearing a martial arts skin. The processing is mainly to promote oriental kung fu culture."

Zhang Nan raised his head slightly and looked at Li'an with inexplicable eyes.

If I hadn't been reborn once and watched "Lust, Caution" filmed by Hua Ying at the invitation of your old boy, I would have believed it.

You can make the period films invited by Huaying to do that. If you hadn't been famous for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it might have looked different.

When Li An saw Zhang Nan's inexplicable eyes, he thought that his words had caught Zhang Nan's flattery, so he couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and then looked at Zhang Nan and smiled.

This can tighten Zhang Nan's chrysanthemum, after all, this old guy has shot "Brokeback Mountain".

But Zhang Nan knew that Li An was trying to curry favor with him.

As the old saying goes, if you stretch out your hand and don't hit someone with a smiling face, Zhang Nan doesn't like to speak ill of someone who is so flattering.

And although Zhang Nan felt that Li An's three views were not very good.

However, Zhang Nan has always believed that the best way to deal with this kind of person is not to directly swear at each other, or face-to-face.

It should be to completely squeeze out the value of the other party, and then kick it to North America, let it feel a wave of cold background and free barrel from capital.

So after Zhang Nan listened to Li An's explanation, he said, "Director Li, there's nothing wrong with selling dog meat under the guise of a sheep, as long as you can make money.

Anything that promotes or does not promote national culture is too empty.

The current situation of the global movie market is that Europe and the United States account for [-]% to [-]%, and the movie markets in other places are combined to divide the remaining [-]% ​​to [-]%. If you want a movie with a high box office, you have to follow the thinking of Westerners Come.

You look at Big Brother Chenglong, how many years have you been filming Hong Kong-style action comedies, how many times have you hit Hollywood, and have you succeeded?

But under my suggestion, if a black person is added, it will successfully land in Hollywood.

My [Martial Arts] series is limited by the subject matter, so I suffered from this loss, otherwise the box office of the second part would not be lower than that of the first part. "

Zhang Nan deliberately stood on the wrong side of the three views, and added some real data in the words he said, which directly made Li An nod frequently, feeling as if he had met a confidant.

However, Zhang Nan's coffee position made Li'an calm down quickly. He remembered the purpose of his trip, and took the opportunity to ask: "Then this project?"

"I voted." Zhang Nan made a direct decision.

After all, the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filmed with the idea that Westerners think it looks good, although it has the skin of oriental martial arts culture.

But really make money!
With a cost of 500 million U.S. dollars and a global box office of over [-] million, even after splitting with theaters and distributors, the pure box office profit is close to ten times.

And Zhang Nan doesn't need to worry about it, just invest money.

And although this film was shot from the perspective of Western thinking, it is not exciting from the perspective of Easterners.

However, in terms of the actual content of the film, there are still no messy, crooked or improper views, but the overall plot is rather cloudy and not very friendly to mainlanders.

The most important thing is that with the investment, Zhang Nan can give advice to the lead actor.

The starring position of this film is still very flattering.

Why has Zhou Runfa been in Hollywood for so many years, without any representative works, but still able to stay, and finally missed a part in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series?
In addition to the continuous development and growth of the mainland film market and the influence of Hollywood's greed for the mainland market, the impact of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is also not small.

After all, in the entertainment industry, how can anyone know that all the works are either classics or box office hits.

Most of them are people who rely on a film to soar into the sky and then rely on their laurels.

So after the decision was made, Zhang Nan asked Li An directly, "Are there any candidates for the roles?"

Li'an was still immersed in the joy of getting Zhang Nan's investment. After hearing the words, he stared at Zhang Nan with piercing eyes and said, "Not yet, do you have any ideas?"

　Some book friends said that it is better to release at twelve o'clock, so I will release it at twelve o'clock, and there will be another update at four o'clock in the afternoon, depending on the situation, it will be one to two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, Chapter ten
