How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 218 Planning the derivative series of [Harry Potter]
And just when Robert Watt and a group of Disney executives fell silent because of the association caused by the [Matrix] project.

This silence was misunderstood by old Luke.

So old Luke saw that his brother-in-law and a group of Disney executives were silent, and began to speak harshly: "Brother-in-law, Zhang, there is no shortage of projects like [Neon Martial Arts].

Zhang wanted to continue filming the "Wuguan" series with the attitude of being responsible to the fans of the "Wuguan" series from the beginning to the end.

But if Disney wants to use this as a condition to blackmail, then on behalf of Zhang, I can give an absolute answer, "Neon Martial Arts" is not a must for us. "

Robert Watt was awakened by his brother-in-law's serious attitude, and quickly smoothed things over: "Luke, Disney definitely didn't mean that."

"Then what does Disney mean?" Old Luke Lisuo asked rhetorically.

Robert Watt and a group of Disney executives were completely speechless.

"Luke, this [Wuguan] series also has a 15.00% share of [-]th Century Fox. The conditions you mentioned, just because I agree on behalf of Disney, it doesn't count!" Robert Watt explained in a different way.

Old Luke waved his hand directly, and said in a nonchalant manner, "Twentieth Century Fox, I have my own way to deal with it."

The scene fell into silence.

In the end, Zhang Nan's remuneration for participating in "Neon Martial Arts Museum" was fixed.

In terms of fixed remuneration and total box office dividends, a setback has been made.

The fixed remuneration has been reduced from 5000 million U.S. dollars to 50.00 million U.S. dollars, and the film's global box office dividend has dropped from 40.00% to [-]%.

To be honest, it's outrageous.

But with Zhang Nan's current status, past achievements, and the current momentum of the "Matrix" trilogy.

In addition, Zhang Nan is the core character of the [Martial Arts] series, without Zhang Nan, the entire series cannot be played.

So these conditions seem outrageous, but when you think about it carefully, they are quite reasonable.

What Zhang Nan didn't expect was that Disney actually agreed to the old Luke's request of retreating in terms of peripheral income.

Change the 30.00% of the movie's peripheral income conditions from Lion's Big Opening to the 20.00% of the entire series' peripheral income conditions.

For such a change, it can be said that Zhang Nan and Old Luke only need to negotiate a deal with [-]th Century Fox and ask him to agree to this condition.

Then [Neon Martial Arts] has not yet started filming, Zhang Nan can directly earn a considerable amount of income.

Because of the first two parts of the [Wuguan] series, especially the first one, Zhang Nan didn't get any peripheral income.
-
inside the car.

Old Luke scrutinized the contract, kept babbling, and said regretfully: "I still didn't think carefully, and some conditions were lowered.

Especially the 20.00% five-point bonus for the whole series, I was a little inexperienced and fell for it.

At first, I thought that my brother-in-law proposed this condition because of my sister's face, so that I could take advantage of it and give us a little of the peripheral profits of the first two parts of the [Wuguan] series.

Thinking about it now, I am still too young, how can this be cheap?
This is basically Disney’s desire to keep filming the [Wuguan] series, and want to play tricks. If the [Wuguan] series shoots ten films, the peripheral income of ten films will be 20.00%, which is comparable to eight films’ 30.00% Peripheral income is much less.

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy. This old saying in Huaguo is absolutely true. "

Listening to Old Luke's nagging, Zhang Nan looked at Old Luke's face again, the creases on Old Luke's face could almost kill flies.

Just like you, don’t you think it’s a bit inappropriate to say that ginger is still old and spicy?
"Luke, it's almost enough. I feel that if this condition can be negotiated, it would be a bit outrageous. If it weren't for the small and medium-sized cost of this [Wuguan] series; plus Disney, who wants to get closer to me , this condition cannot be negotiated at all.”

Zhang Nan looked at the old Luke who was in a state of regret, and continued: "Think about the [Mission: Impossible] series that Tom Cruise and Paramount cooperated with. If it is too much, we earn more than them." If there are too many, people will have to smash the pot."

Old Luke froze for a moment when he heard the words, then nodded thoughtfully.

In May, "Mission: Impossible 2" grossed 5.46 million US dollars at the box office worldwide, making money like crazy.

Now it's December, and although not all the various benefits of [Mission: Impossible 2] have been settled, they can still be calculated.

Then Paramount does the math.

Good guy, two [Mission: Impossible] series, Cruise split more than them.

Is this okay?

As a senior Hollywood giant, Paramount immediately quit, and directly discussed with Tom Cruise about the next movie in the "Mission: Impossible" series.

But Tom Cruise, who had made a lot of money in the original time and space, did not agree. After Zhang Nan cut his interests in half in this time and space, Tom Cruise even quit.

So in the end Paramount and Tom Cruise broke up.

Because the copyright of the "Mission: Impossible" series is in the hands of Paramount.

Therefore, the "Mission: Impossible" series was directly stopped by Paramount, and the development of the sequel "Mission: Impossible 3" was suspended.

Paramount's operation had a huge impact on Cruise's career.

It can't be said that Tom Cruise, who just stepped into the peak period with "Mission: Impossible 2", directly enters the recession period, or it can be said that it is almost the same.

Because after the disappearance of the "Mission: Impossible" series, Tom Cruise did not make any splashes that were too bright in the global movie market.

Although the old Luke didn't know where Tom Cruise's career would go in the future.

But the current Tom Cruise, because of this incident, his personal status and popularity, as well as his career, has seen a decline visible to the naked eye.

Then Old Luke thought again that the [Matrix] trilogy was released, and the [Doomsday Survival] trilogy has also ended.

At present, on Zhang Nan's body, the series of "Martial Arts" and "Men in Black" are thrown away.

Only the eight-hour cameo remuneration career worth 1700 million U.S. dollars was left because of the title of the box office mascot;

The first choice for the male lead in many small and medium-budget romantic film projects;

The first grade candidate superstar of action movies.

But these are not stable!
Fail once and it's gone.

Like a tower in the sky.

Old Luke suddenly became a little panicked, and turned to look at Zhang Nan: "Zhang, do we have to start a big fire series, or your career will be a little unstable!"

Zhang Nan glared at Old Luke angrily.

When you think about it, how can there be time, I have already made arrangements, haven't I?

Do you think that the villain of the [Harry Potter] series, the big boss-Voldemort, cameo.

Is it because of the 1600 million US dollars of my eight hours of working time that I went to act for nothing?
