How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 251 Old Wu is finally going to shoot 【Windtalker】
"By the way, Warner, have you submitted any project cooperation?" Zhang Nan asked.

Old Luke knew what Zhang Nan was asking, and said tactfully: "Not yet, Warner has focused all his energy on [Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone] in the past few months.

It is estimated that we will have to wait for the results of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" after it is released in November to see how to go next.

If it succeeds at the box office, it will naturally learn from Universal's [Jurassic Park] and develop a sequel immediately. If it fails at the box office, I'm afraid it will start all over again. "

Yes, for the [Harry Potter] series launched by Warner Pictures, many people think that Warner is aiming to imitate [Jurassic Park].

After all, the types and paths of the two are quite similar - both are movies adapted from best-selling novels.

Zhang Nan guessed that Warner Pictures also had this idea in mind when they started the "Harry Potter" series.

It's just that they never expected that the follow-up development prospects of the [Harry Potter] series would far exceed that of the [Jurassic Park] series.

[Harry Potter] There is no news for the time being, and Zhang Nan thought about the 2002 film project of the original time and space in his mind.

It is found that there are basically not many people he can get in touch with, and in 2002, there were no dark horses at the box office for him to pick up.

So Zhang Nan said, "Luke, will you have to read the stack of documents in your hand today?"

Hearing Zhang Nan's words, Old Luke's expression froze, which also made Zhang Nan's expression stiff.

"Choose something that has something to do with me, or just read a few copies if the investment amount is relatively large. I have to go back to the mainland in two days to shoot [Doomsday Rebirth 1], and I don't have much time to delay it in North America."

Old Luke looked a little hesitant when he heard the words, but he also knew that what Zhang Nan said was reasonable, so he changed the document from holding it with both hands to one hand, and with the other free hand, he flipped through the document and pulled it out.

In the end, a large pile of documents and folders were thrown aside, and only a few documents were held in hand.

"Zhang, your fellow countryman, Wu Baige has a cooperation with MGM, and they have a project called [Windtalker]. The lead actor is Nicolas Cage, and I want you to be a guest star. In terms of price It is easy to discuss." Old Luke said.

After Zhang Nan heard the words, his expression was a little expectant and a little stiff.

The anticipation is naturally because Zhang Nan has been waiting for Wu Baige's day for a long time.

Moreover, he signed two artists, Hu Ge and Yu Entai, in China, and he was worried that he didn't have any resources to arrange in the past few years.

It's not that Zhang Nan doesn't have resources at hand, but Zhang Nan's current gap with the mainland entertainment industry is too great.

The resources that Zhang Nan can hear and see are too big for Hu Ge and Yu Entai, or for the mainland entertainment circle.

Plug directly?
It is a bit of a cannon to fight mosquitoes, which is wasteful and a bit counterproductive.

So we can only put resources in the mainland film and television circles.

But at this time, in the mainland film and television circles, it's okay to pick and choose, and only Lao Mouzi's projects are okay.

Feng Pants has to wait another two years, and when he starts working on [A World Without Thieves], the project he is engaged in will be able to catch Zhang Nan's eyes.

Old Wu didn't shoot [Windtalker] and then went back to China frustrated, what happened to the artist who had just signed a contract in his country?
Although Lao Wu's director level since "Wind Talker" has fallen off a cliff.

The resulting movie is also like sitting in a squatting toilet with one buttocks, making it difficult for people to look directly at it.

But... Should I say it or not, with Old Wu's past qualifications and experience, it is quite acceptable to let him help others to promote coffee and people.

Even the two volumes of [Red Cliff] are so bad.

But the cast of artists who starred in "Red Cliff" has risen a lot in terms of celebrity status.

Even if you don't talk about whether the movie is good or bad.

The combined box office of the upper and lower two [Red Cliff] is 5.63 million yuan, although in terms of its cost, it is a loss to the extent that the trousers are suitable.

But for the leading actors, it's a lot of benefits.

Among other things, the cumulative box office data of the personal acting careers of the leading actors has increased a lot.

The movie box office of 5.63 million yuan, even in 2008 and 2009, is not a small amount.

more importantly.

【Chibi】It's not just rotten, it's rotten.

It's so bad that the audience can't criticize the leading actor's acting skills.

The insults were all borne and endured by Lao Wu alone, and the other leading artists were basically not hacked very much, and they only enjoyed the effect of improving their reputation and climbing the ranks brought by the big project.

but……

Starring in "Windtalker"?
With a cost of 1.15 million US dollars, the global box office of 0.77 million US dollars.

When Zhang Nan first entered the industry, he still thought that he was pregnant with golden fingers, and that he could rub a little bit.

A box office of 0.77 million US dollars is also a box office!

But now Zhang Nan has changed his mind.

If I really get attached to this wave, the last straw that crushed MGM, I am afraid that this wave will directly give away the box office mascot title I have accumulated over the years, as well as the wave of box office insurer treatment I just enjoyed. It's gone.

But it's not good to refuse directly, and wait until they return to China after the explosion, and help their artists raise their positions.

The risk cannot be committed, nor can it be rejected directly.

Only now did Zhang Nan understand why there are always people using Tai Chi methods whenever there are major events.

It is really shameful to escape and shirk, but it is really useful!

"Don't agree, but don't rush to refuse, just say that I'm busy recently, so I'll delay." Zhang Nan replied.

Old Luke is an old man, and he has been with Zhang Nan for a long time. Hearing Zhang Nan's explicit words, he understood Zhang Nan's thoughts, and he also knew that Zhang Nan was not optimistic about Wu Baige and MGM. Made the [Windtalker] project.

But that was a big project with an investment of more than 1 million US dollars!
and so……

"Then shall we short the stock price of MGM?" Old Luke asked in a timely manner.

Zhang Nan: "..." Is this the Star-Spangled Banner man in North America?It's too financial.

However, facing this proposal from Old Luke, Zhang Nan shook his head and expressed his rejection.

Without him.

Regarding finance, Zhang Nan has always held a cautious attitude.

At the beginning, Zhang Nan dared to engage in the Longbow Film and Television Fund.

On the one hand, there is the foreknowledge brought about by cheating and rebirth as confidence.

On the other hand, it is also because compared with stocks and futures, the risk and means of funds are relatively low and there are no detours. It is only related to the profit of the project sold, and Zhang Nan is still sure.

But even so, Zhang Nandu still brought in the four major organizations to act as fronts.

Play stocks directly?
Oil investment with negative prices can be made in China. Zhang Nan believes that the integrity of North America will not be higher than that in China.

Seeing that Zhang Nan was not interested, Old Luke didn't say much, and started to watch the content of the next cooperation project he picked out.
