How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 214 [Jurassic Park 3] and [Artificial Intelligence]

North America, Hollywood.

Across the Pacific from the neon.

Moreover, Zhang Nan's operations are placed in Asia and Neon, which are relatively eye-catching.

On the North American side, Zhang Nan's operation was nothing at all.

Not to mention that it provoked the live broadcast of the helicopter, if it weren't for Zhang Nan's relatively high reputation, even the gossip tabloids would not be willing to publish it.

Zhang Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

But it's just a sigh of relief, because it's been ten or so hours since Neon came to Hollywood.

The three support rods that strengthened the aircraft's body structure, although they enhanced the aircraft's structural strength, also reduced Zhang Nan's physical strength.

There is no way.

They are all debut artists, and the female artists of Neon are basically developing in the direction of film, television and song.

Face, figure, acting skills, eyes, body coordination, singing voice, etc., are much higher than the configuration of a professional dancer - after all, if there is a configuration of a star, which professional dancer still dances!

And when it comes to professionalism, it's not bad at all.

Moreover.

When it comes to watching people dance, is the focus on the dancer's technique?

No matter how good a dancer is with a bloated figure and ugly appearance, it can't compare to other young ladies who twist their waists twice in a non-standard posture.

So this flight was the most tiring for Zhang Nanfei during so many trips from Asia to North America.

Because in the past he could take a break, but this time he couldn't stop at all.

The acting was fantastic.

So after getting off the plane.

Zhang Nan immediately came to the crew of "Jurassic Park 3" as a cameo, thinking about reducing the workload at night first.

[Jurassic Park 3] crew.

Although Steven Spielberg's box office performance in "Jurassic Park 2" did not exceed the more than 1 million U.S. dollars in "Jurassic Park 9".

It didn't even stay at the same level, but fell to more than 6 million US dollars, which was far below its expectations. After that, it was like a hot potato, and the director position of "Jurassic Park 3" was thrown out.

No matter how Universal Pictures persuaded him, Spielberg did not change his mind. At most, he was only willing to be the producer of [Jurassic Park 3].

In desperation, Universal Pictures had no choice but to give [Jurassic Park 3] and find someone else to be the director.

Because it is impossible for Universal to give up the "Jurassic Park" series of movies.

After all, although the box office of [Jurassic Park 2] did not exceed that of the previous [Jurassic Park 1].

However, the investment of 7300 million U.S. dollars was exchanged for a global box office of more than 6 million U.S. dollars.

Just relying on the box office performance of the movie, Universal made a fortune.

Not to mention, the movie merchandise of the [Jurassic Park] series, compared to the movie merchandise of other movies, is a special hit, with a gap of several times.

Moreover, the great fame of the [Jurassic Park] series also allowed Universal to rake in the company's stock price when it was released.

After all, at this point in time around 2000.

Warner's "Harry Potter" is being filmed, Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" is still brewing, and Marvel's "Iron Man" protagonist Robert Downey Jr. still often goes to prison for further training.

In the series of movies, the [Jurassic Park] series is not the boss!
There are really not many people who can match their wrists.

The only ones that are familiar to us are the [Star Wars] series of 007th Century Fox and the [[-]] series of MGM.

But to be honest, MGM's [007] series is even more interesting.

But those who can put Hollywood in the mix, and still look good, no one is a fool.

[Jurassic Park 2] Compared with [Jurassic Park 1]'s box office decline, the audience's response has dropped significantly after the release, and Spielberg, the soul of the series, is still unwilling to direct anymore...

All these phenomena made Universal Film and Television understand a little bit.

That is because of the dinosaur fever caused by [Jurassic Park 1], it is almost out of date.

But... things are about to go out of date, but the taste is really delicious.

Together, the two films grossed over $15 billion at the global box office.

For such a series, Universal is really reluctant to give up, wishing to keep shooting.

However, its gradually declining box office performance has also made Universal understand that if it continues to spend a lot of money on it, it may not be worth the candle.

So at the beginning, the production fee approved by Universal for "Jurassic Park 3" was only 9300 million U.S. dollars.

You know, the original space-time Columbia filmed "Godzilla", which can almost be said to follow the trend of the "Jurassic Park" series, and was approved for 1.6 million US dollars.

But the production fee of 9300 million U.S. dollars is not in line with the status of the "Jurassic Park" series.

But when Universal released the news that it was going to choose a director.

It still attracted competition from many Hollywood directors.

Without him.

[Jurassic Park 3] This project, although for a world-class director like Spielberg, is a hot potato.

But for other directors who haven't set foot in Hollywood and made a name for themselves, it's a big sweet cake.

After all, [Jurassic Park 3], which has two very successful predecessors, also relies on the support of Universal, a Hollywood giant.

Wanting to be successful is much easier than making a movie from scratch.

In the end, Universal chose Joe Johnston as director.

Zhang Nan didn't know that Universal really had foresight. He knew that this guy would be able to shoot "Captain America" ​​with good results after Marvel had already made a name for himself.

I'm still just looking at this product, putting it aside that I have been deeply involved in the shooting of the [Star Wars] series, and I want to rub the luck of the successful restart of [Star Wars].

Zhang Nan thinks it should be the latter.

After all, it is only 2000 now, and it is less than five years since 1995, when Universal Film and Television created the "Future Water World".

And... If Universal had really found Joe Johnston by virtue of their vision, they wouldn't have spent 1700 million US dollars, plus two supporting roles, to invite him to stand on the stage.

"Zhang, you are welcome."

As soon as he led the Zhongshan sisters out of the car, Zhang Nan received a warm welcome from director Joe Johnston.

He was so enthusiastic, Zhang Nan naturally wouldn't refute his face, and responded enthusiastically as well.

To be honest, Joe Johnston has complicated feelings about Zhang Nan.

Because during the filming process, he has been telling Universal that the production fee of 9300 million US dollars is not enough and needs to be increased. Otherwise, after the film is released, the effect will not be shocking enough, which will affect the box office.

But Universal disagreed with life and death.

But when someone proposed to invite Zhang Nanlai to play a cameo for a day, and still spent 1700 million US dollars plus two supporting roles, the speed of Universal's nodding made the camera unable to take clear pictures.

But Joe Johnston also knew that this was not Zhang Nan's problem, and it was not Zhang Nan's fault.

So when he saw Zhang Nan coming, he came forward to say hello enthusiastically.

After Zhang Nan also gave an enthusiastic response, Joe Johnston even offered that during the filming process of the crew, he would take care of the Zhongshan sisters brought by Zhang Nan.

This made Zhang Nan work very hard in the next eight hours of performance.

After all, apart from Joe Johnston's enthusiasm, the Zhongshan sisters' performances on the plane were all carried out with real knives and guns and sweating profusely.

Then after eight hours of dedicated performance, Zhang Nan reluctantly left the crew of "Jurassic Park 3" and came to the crew of "Artificial Intelligence" under the reluctance of the Nakamori sisters.
-
[Artificial Intelligence] Crew.

Started with "Jaws", became famous with the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, and established the status of Hollywood's top commercial director with the "Jurassic Park" series.

He also filmed [Schindler's List], [Saving Private Ryan]... Spielberg who is an art film with correct North American values.

It can be said that in commercial films and art films, both hands are grasped, and both hands are hard.

In terms of a director's career alone, Spielberg can be said to be very complete.

Because of the box office success of commercial films and the award success of art films, Spielberg has experienced it many times, so Spielberg can clearly feel it.

If we really talk about it, the box office success of commercial films is even more refreshing.

Because commercial films are real first-hand profits, and they are directly paid in US dollars.

The success of the awards for art films is somewhat false.

It's not that art films won't earn much if they achieve the level of award success.

In fact, there are many benefits.

But after all, the success of the awards for art films directly obtains fame, and it is lossy to turn it into profits, and the upper limit of income is far lower than that of purely commercial films.

And a well-known director of an art film, after getting old and not very talented, also made Spielberg wake up.

It's not that well-known art film directors have a bleak evening scene after they get old.

That's not enough.

But one by one, the scenery is gone.

So Spielberg, who reacted, immediately planned to focus on commercial films.

But [Jurassic Park 2] grossed more than 6 million U.S. dollars at the box office, [Saving Private Ryan] grossed more than 4 million U.S. dollars at the box office, and [Zorro's Mask] failed at the box office.

It made Spielberg understand-he started to go downhill.

Thankfully, Spielberg's descent was less steep, slower, and spotted earlier.

Moreover, Spielberg's past accumulation is also strong and can withstand many failures.

Originally, this [artificial intelligence] was an experimental project of Spielberg.

I want to get in touch with and understand the shooting methods and techniques of today's science fiction films.

After all, although Spielberg's current director ability has declined, it is still compared with his previous peak, and it is only a decline in ability, and his vision is still there.

Spielberg can see that among the future film trends, science fiction is definitely a good category.

So I plan to try to develop and accumulate some experience.

But... Sometimes being too famous is also a burden.

A small project is getting bigger and bigger, and the investment has reached 9000 million US dollars.

The booth is so big, Spielberg is getting older, Zhang Nan's box office mascot is so famous, and the two of them are so familiar, so there are Zhang Nan's guest appearances.

Zhang Nan arrived on the set and met Spielberg.

Both of them were old acquaintances, so Zhang Nan was not polite at all, and directly lifted out... Shizuka Kudo from behind him.

"Steven, this is my favorite little girlfriend. I can come to your project as a cameo, not because of your 1500 million US dollars appearance fee, but because of the relationship between the two of us. Otherwise, you can go to scan and listen. In order to please me, Universal offered 1700 million US dollars, so I reluctantly agreed."

Zhang Nan put his arms around Shizuka Kudo, put his hands on Spielberg's shoulders, and continued, winking, "The crew will take care of you more, give more lines for the scenes, add more shots when filming, and give more weight to the plot..."

The reason why Zhang Nan dared to be so straightforward was to let Spielberg add more scenes to Shizuka Kudo during the filming of the film project.

On the one hand, it is because of the relationship between the two, after the cooperation of the "Doomsday Survival" trilogy, they are already quite familiar.

And it's because Zhang Nan is very clear.

This [Artificial Intelligence] is Spielberg's water-testing work, an experimental work, not a work he attaches great importance to, otherwise the starring roles would not be so few, unknown second- and third-tier actors.

And considering Spielberg's current state of decline, it's not a problem to temporarily change the script or something.

Kudo Shizuka, who was held in Zhang Nan's arms, looked a little embarrassed when she saw Spielberg, a great director.

After all, a famous director like Spielberg and Shizuka Kudo who has been mixing with neon lights really don't have much contact.

Now that they are eager to cooperate, Zhang Nan hugged him tightly even if he didn't bend down and bow immediately after meeting.

And hearing Zhang Nan talking to Spielberg like this, the whole delicate body immediately collapsed.

After all, for the sake of an actor, to ask a director, especially a world-class director, to change the script, the lens... during filming is a bit too much.

Shizuka Kudo was afraid that Spielberg would directly quarrel with Zhang Nan because of what Zhang Nan said just now.

I was planning to ask Zhang Nan to bow and apologize.

result……

"no problem (no problem)."

Spielberg nodded and waved his hand to give a guarantee, then with a smirk on his face, he jokingly said: "But... Zhang, I heard that [Jurassic Park 3], you stuffed two girlfriends in there, and here you stuffed another one. You are not young at this age, you should pay more attention to your health, and don't—"

In the following words, Spielberg didn't finish what he said, but the meaning was expressed very clearly, don't die on that woman by then.

Zhang Nan dismissed Spielberg angrily.

As for your romantic affairs when you were young, do you have the nerve to talk about me?
Spielberg understood Zhang Nan's eyes, and found an excuse to leave.

When Zhang Nan saw this, he took Shizuka Kudo's hand and started wandering around the [Artificial Intelligence] crew.

It's an announcement to the crew that Kudo Shizuka is his man.

After all, in the current Hollywood environment, racial discrimination is still relatively widespread.

"Shizuka, don't be too nervous when working with Spielberg, or you will be scolded?" Zhang Nan reminded when he was wandering around the crew with Kudo Shizuka.

Kudo Shizuka was stunned when she heard the words, and quickly stammered: "Then...then what should I do, I saw a director as big as Spielberg, and I... panicked."

"I'm also a great director and a superstar, why don't you panic when you see me?" Zhang Nan asked back.

What Zhang Nan said is true. With the support of the three box office hits "Survival at the End of the Day", Zhang Nan's popularity is not much lower than that of Spielberg.

Shizuka Kudo was taken aback when she heard the words, then turned her head away in embarrassment.

When Kudo Shizuka saw Zhang Nan at first, she was naturally flustered.

But after the bayonet became popular, Zhang Nan repeatedly killed many parts of his body one after another, so why did he panic!
Man, you should be the one to panic!
