How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 194 Returning to China, ready for publication
Moreover, the reason why Hollywood tycoons do not withhold the remuneration of these superstars and famous directors is that it is based on the supervision of these superstars and famous directors throughout the process.

Otherwise, the black-hearted Hollywood moguls would not be so kind.

But such a process is really tormented for superstars and famous directors.

Therefore, Zhang Nan's fast payment channel of one month at the fastest and three months at the slowest is particularly popular in the eyes of these Hollywood superstars and famous directors.

The most important thing is that Cruise used the bonus contract of "Mission: Impossible 2" to directly extract a high price of 400 million US dollars from Zhang Nan.

Yes, high prices.

After all, apart from Zhang Nan, no one knew that the global box office of "Mission: Impossible 2" could soar to 5.46 million U.S. dollars, and Cruise even got a dividend of 2 million U.S. dollars in "Mission: Impossible [-]".

So such a high price stirred up the restlessness of these superstars and famous directors even more.

Then Zhang Nan was in the time before returning to the mainland.

Just constantly, seeing this group of superstars and famous directors with various project bonus contracts.

Then he would pick out the box office hits and stuff them into his Longbow film and television fund at a suitable price.

It's just that Zhang Nan's quotation will be higher for those with better career prospects in the future, and they will earn less.

Bryan Singer, director of X-Men.

At this time, although the director has just directed the "X-Men" with a cost of 7500 million US dollars.

Moreover, this comic-adapted commercial film is the first commercial film directed by him.

And this "X-Men" will earn 1.56 million US dollars in North America and 2.96 million US dollars in the world after it is released.

At the same time, this follow-up will continue to shoot: [Superman Returns], [Wolverine], [X-Men: Days of Future Past], [X-Men: Apocalypse]... and other super blockbusters, becoming the director of comic-book movies. Mainstay.

Therefore, Zhang Nan estimated a "high price" of 100 million US dollars for Bryan Singer's 56% of the box office dividends of North American movies-not mentioning [-]% ​​of the handling fee, just the remaining value, Zhang Nan earned it with tears and blood $[-]—and brought Bryan Singer to tears.

After all, don't look at Zhang Nan, Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Spielberg, James Cameron, George Lucas... A project can easily cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars in remuneration and income.

But in fact, for other second- and third-tier stars and directors in Hollywood, it is very good to have an income of millions of dollars after a project.

A director like Bryan Singer who has just switched to commercial films and has no works yet.

If a project can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, that's pretty good.

Therefore, after Bryan Singer estimated such a price for Zhang Nan's contract, he burst into tears of gratitude and was so excited that he didn't want it.

Then there's Jim Carrey.

It cooperated with Twentieth Century Fox on [One First Two Big], and cooperated with Universal on [The Grinch].

They all received a fixed salary of 2000 million US dollars, plus a 5.00% dividend from the North American box office.

[One head and two big] This film sold 9000 million US dollars at the box office in North America. Zhang Nan gave a price of 380 million US dollars, and made a tearful profit of 76 US dollars in rakes, and a residual value of 70 US dollars. .

[The Grinch] This film sold 2.51 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America. Zhang Nan set a price of 1000 million U.S. dollars, and made a rake of 200 million U.S. dollars tearfully, with a residual value of 200 million U.S. dollars. .

Three days later, when Zhang Nan called Jim Carrey with a refund of more than 1000 million.

If it weren't for the fact that video calls haven't been popularized yet, Jim Carrey on the other side of the phone would have performed a face-changing show for Zhang Nan on the spot.

With the success of Jim Carrey and Bryan Singer.

Zhang Nan's way of getting money back is becoming more and more popular in the circle of Hollywood artists and directors.

[Perfect Storm], [Gladiator], [Life on a Deserted Island]...

Basically, most of the top ten box office projects in the global film market in 2000 were related to Zhang Nan's Longbow Film Market Fund, and then invested in Wall Street.

Zhang Nan thinks that as long as 2000 is over, if Wall Street finds out that the movies he made through the Longbow film and television project have sold well at the box office, he will have to give him some index if they are not guaranteed.

But although this kind of business of picking up money anywhere is fun, Zhang Nan can't keep doing it.

Because the Spring Festival Gala in the Mainland is coming up, Zhang Nan has to go back to rehearse.
-
Mainland, Beijing.

Rao is that Zhang Nan came back in his own private jet.

Itinerary is almost confidential, few people can know.

But [Survival at the End of Days 2.3] is approaching the global box office of 40 billion U.S. dollars, and its influence is too domineering.

Even Hollywood can show a group of giants and Wall Street institutions in a daze.

[Doomsday Survival 2.3] has an even more explosive effect on the mainland.

Because at this time, in the hearts of most Chinese people, under the influence of nearly a hundred years of past history, they basically feel a little inferior and worship overseas.

But the glorious history of the past has made many Chinese people want to prove that they are no worse than foreigners.

So Zhang Nan, a young mainlander who was born in Hollywood, turned out to be a superstar and a famous director. He has already become the number one idol of many Chinese people.

Then this wave of [Doomsday Survival 2.3]'s explosive performance sublimated the Chinese people's sense of admiration for Zhang Nan.

The phenomenon has been caused since [Survival at the End of the World 2.3] was released.

Not to mention entertainment news programs, newspapers and broadcasts, even social news programs, newspapers and broadcasts, Zhang Nan's video, photo and name will appear from time to time.

Under such circumstances, domestic paparazzi and reporters' desire to interview Zhang Nan is at an all-time high.

Let alone an interview, it is very difficult to meet Zhang Nan, after all, Zhang Nan is far across the ocean.

Fortunately, compared to the foreign gangs, their own cultural background is relatively poor, except for the paparazzi and reporters who rely on high-tech to secretly take pictures.

The paparazzi and reporters in the Mainland know a lot of idioms and the art of war.

Knowing that Zhang Nan is definitely going back to China to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, because this is the news that the Spring Festival Gala program team released after getting Zhang Nan's consent.

So the paparazzi and reporters who wanted to interview Zhang Nan were divided into two schools.

The paparazzi and reporters of the idiom genre just sit on the sidelines and wait for the production team of the Spring Festival Gala.

The paparazzi and reporters of the Art of War school used the strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao, and focused on the itinerary of the elder brother Chenglong who performed with Zhang Nan.

Then the two groups of paparazzi and reporters joined forces at the Beijing airport.

After meeting each other, they immediately confirmed Zhang Nan's whereabouts, and then - the whole mainland knew that Zhang Nan had arrived in the capital.

"A'nan, you can do it. One series has more box office than the movies I've made in these years." The eldest brother Chenglong watched Zhang Nan get off the plane, walked towards Zhang Nan with a big smile, and said.

Zhang Nan heard the words and said modestly: "Wherever it is, it means good luck."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, then walked towards the car driven by the elder brother Chenglong.

"A'nan, I heard that you have set up a fund in Hollywood, and many big stars and directors entrust you with sharing contracts?" The eldest brother Chenglong's words were full of interest.

Zhang Nan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

The big brother Chenglong is currently on the body of the "Magic City Noon" in cooperation with Disney.

Releases January 5.

At a cost of more than 5000 million US dollars, it earned a box office of 5691 million US dollars in North America, and the global total box office was only 9971 million US dollars.

It can't be said to be a loss, after all, the big brother Chenglong shoots action movies, and the copyrights, DVDs and other peripherals are selling well.

But it can only be said that it is worthwhile.

The performance of this [Magic City Noon] has dropped a little bit, and the popularity and popularity accumulated by [Rush Hour 1] by the big brother Chenglong.

"Brother Chenglong, are you also interested?" Zhang Nan asked.

The eldest brother Chenglong shook slightly, and explained: "My side is too deeply involved with Jiahe and Yinhuang, and it is inconvenient for me to sell contracts and so on."

Speaking of this, the eldest brother Chenglong paused for a moment, then showed a look of embarrassment for a while, but continued to say: "Some people in the Xiangjiang circle want to ask me to ask you, your fund , Can Xiangjiang's film project be accepted?"

"Of course, but the film projects in Xiangjiang are so big. With an investment of one million US dollars, most of the leading actors are paid fixed salaries. Basically, there is no contract for box office dividends. It is useless to use my fund! Zhang Nan nodded, then asked curiously.

The eldest brother Chenglong said a little embarrassedly: "It's not a box office dividend contract for an artist, but an investment dividend contract for a movie project. In fact...they want to ask, with your fund, is there any possibility that the movie will be acquired?" Is it released in North America?"

is it possible?
That is certainly possible.

After all, it's not that difficult to distribute in North America, the difficulty is only the size of the release.

And with Zhang Nan's current status and influence in Hollywood and Wall Street.

Pull a film project from Asia into the fund, then sell part of the share, and then rely on your own relationship to make a bridge.

There is a high probability that an Asian film project will be screened in North America, and the scale will not be small.

But the problem is that such an operation will cost Zhang Nan a lot of connections and energy.

"Brother Chenglong, this fund of mine is to take advantage of Wall Street's momentum to cut some meat in Hollywood. The main business is the dividend contract project of superstars and famous directors in the project. I don't have much involvement in distribution, but If you can barely do it, the effect may be average." Zhang Nan explained seriously.

"That is to say, it can be done?"

When the elder brother Chenglong heard Zhang Nan's answer, his eyes lit up when he looked at Zhang Nan. He felt that Zhang Nan's strength and power had jumped a bit, and now he could even be included in the distribution.

Zhang Nan nodded when he heard the words, and then continued to ask: "The people on the Xiangjiang side, did they talk about the specific cooperation method?"

"..."

The eldest brother Chenglong hesitated for a while in embarrassment, and said, "Over there...that is, I asked me to ask, with your fund, is it possible for the movie to be released in North America."

Hearing this, Zhang Nan understood.

Good guy, this is the idea of ​​using my own fund in the name of feeling, and asking myself to help issue it at the price of 20.00% rake!

Take out 20.00% of a project, and it can be released in North America. Is there such a good thing in this world?
Are all the producers in the Xiangjiang film circle so crazy?
For a moment, the car fell into silence.

In fact, Chenglong also knew the thinking of Xiangjiang's producers, and he was too ignorant, so he didn't want to spread this word at first.

But helplessly, he was too deeply involved in the Xiangjiang film and television industry.

"A'nan, I just can't help it. I debuted in Xiangjiang, and I have broken bones and tendons with many people..."

Seeing what brother Chenglong wanted to explain, Zhang Nan quickly waved his hand and said: "Brother Chenglong, it's too polite to say that, besides, cooperation, talk about conditions and so on, high and low, it's all normal of."
