Chapter 267 Cameo [Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

Warner Pictures made a high-profile announcement to the outside world that [Terminator 1.5], which cost 3 million U.S. dollars in production costs, will be launched in the near future, causing a lot of noise from the media.

But it was just a little bit of hustle and bustle.

Because the [Terminator] series is a well-known series.

The most recent movie [Terminator 2] even made a proud record of 5 million US dollars at the global box office, and it was still in 1991.

If factors such as currency depreciation are included, its global box office of [-] million US dollars is about the same as the current box office of [-] to [-] million US dollars.

But... apart from scholars, which movie buff would convert the actual box office value of the movie when watching a movie!

And even if it is converted, the global box office of [-] to [-] million US dollars is not enough for today's Hollywood.

[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone], [Lord of the Rings 1], [Independence Day]... Which one is not the box office of [-] to [-] million US dollars in the world?

Fortunately, Warner announced the launch of "Terminator 3" in a high-profile manner. The desired effect is to make a little boo head and notify fans.

After 11 years, there is a new work in the [Terminator] series, you must watch it when it is released!
And when Warner booed [Terminator 3], Zhang Nan was also in the crew of [Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets], that is, [Harry Potter 2].

In fact, the image of Voldemort played by Zhang Nan in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is a teenager.

It's not appropriate for Zhang Nan, who is in his prime, to play the role.

But...【Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone】was a huge success at the box office, and Warner, who wanted to continue replicating the success, didn't want to make any changes.

Of course, there is no way to change Zhang Nan's salary.

It's just that Zhang Nan Voldemort's role in this film is not much, and Zhang Nan's own acting level has reached a certain level after years of honing.

So Zhang Nan finished work very quickly, from the appearance to the end, it took less than 10 minutes.

However, Zhang Nan didn't leave immediately after the finale.

After all, with a salary of 2400 million US dollars, if he only stays for 10 minutes and leaves, even though all the work is done, it's okay to leave immediately.

But after all, it's a bit careless to do that.

And... It's quite interesting to watch the three little ones acting in a similar manner in front of their eyes.

When he was free, Zhang Nan also found a camera from the crew, and took some images that San Xiaozhi reshot many times because of a single shot, intending to contribute to the future "Harry Potter" documentary.

And seeing the three little ones holding a camera to film themselves, after the filming of their own scenes, they gathered around Zhang Nan in a swarm.

"Zhang, I read from the newspaper that you made a movie with Disney and asked for 1..."

The actress who played Hermione, who has not yet bloomed, but has some signs of beauty--Emma Watson Jr., recalled her memory, "I asked for a salary of 1.2 million, is it true or not?"

Hearing the words, Zhang Nan happily rubbed little Emma Watson's already fluffy hair even more fluffy, which made her very upset, and said, "Well, that's right, there are so many."

Zhang Nan did not explain that the 1.2 million is just a fixed salary. In fact, he and Disney have a "Pirates of the Caribbean" project, as well as a large proportion of box office dividends and peripheral revenue. difficulty.

But the fixed remuneration of 1.2 million US dollars alone has already made the three little ones unable to close their mouths after hearing it.

Especially Rupert Grint Jr., who played Ron Weasley, and Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter, both stared round when they heard this number.

"This... How much does this cost!"

Rupert Grint Jr., who played Ron Weasley, stretched out his hands and started waving his fingers.

I don't know what this thing is, but obviously, the number is relatively large, and his fingers alone are not enough, because he has already started to borrow the fingers of Daniel Radcliffe who plays Harry Potter.

Little Emma, ​​who was playing Hermione, couldn't stand it any longer. She directly interrupted Rupert Grint's calculations, and said, "Forget it, it's richer than our entire crew anyway."

This is really true.

Because the production fee of the entire "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is only 1 million U.S. dollars, which is 2500 million U.S. dollars less than the previous "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

It's not that Warner is stingy or tight, and deliberately lowered the production fee of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

Because not to mention April, Warner just spent 1.5 million US dollars to start filming [Terminator 3].

Even if [Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone] has a global box office of 9.74 million or nearly one billion US dollars, Warner will not make such an irrational move.

The main reason is that some of the props and special effects shots in [Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets] can be directly used in [Harry Potter 1], saving a lot of production costs.

If it is actually calculated, the cost of [Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets] is at least tens of millions of dollars higher than [Harry Potter 1].

But how did the three little ones know this, they only knew that Zhang Nan's current salary alone was worth more than the entire crew.

"Zhang——, you are really good." The three little ones looked at Zhang Nan with envy.

Seeing this, Zhang Nan shook his head, and encouraged him: "Perform well, and you will have the opportunity to be like me in the future."

San Xiao only saw Zhang Nan's income, and was encouraged by Zhang Nan, looked at each other, and hurriedly ran towards the director.

You don't need to think about it, you know, this is supported by Zhang Nan's big cake, and you have to work hard to digest it.

Looking at the bouncing backs of the three little ones, Zhang Nan suddenly thought of the hero and heroine he saw in [Star Wars Episode 2] a few days ago-Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen.

Both parties are famous all over the world because of a well-known series, but their respective acting paths and their own images are also limited to a single role.

It's just that the situation of the three little ones is obviously better than that of the men and women in [Star Wars Prequel].

One is the three little ones, who joined the [Harry Potter] series from the very beginning, while Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen joined the [Star Wars] series later.

The importance and affection of the three little ones in the [Harry Potter] series of movies is much higher than that of the latter two in the [Star Wars] series.

The second is that the [Harry Potter] series has been shot eight times in a row, and it can basically be said that there is no gap period.

But the [Star Wars] series is different. Although there are nine series in total, there are only three prequels, and the time interval between [Star Wars 7.8.9] and [Star Wars [-].

But the three little ones are only better off than Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen.

Because judging from the situation of the three little ones after they grew up, the three of them have not shaken off the influence of the [Harry Potter] series, and their subsequent interpretation careers are quite difficult.

But Zhang Nan didn't feel sorry for the three little ones.

After all, the follow-up acting career of the three little ones is difficult, but at least there is still.

How many people have been engaged in acting career for many years, but the road is intermittent and bumpy.

And through the [Harry Potter] series, the three little ones can get a lot of salary and fame.

If you gain something, you must lose something.
