How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 28 Zhang's Kungfu Has Flourished

In 2002, Wu Baige will take the fourth and final step of his Hollywood director career.

That is to say, it brought down MGM, one of the top eight in Hollywood, and it was known as MGM's last inferior life-saving straw - "Windtalker" with an investment of 1.15 million U.S. dollars and a box office of 7000 million U.S. dollars.

Even so, Wu Baige has not yet finished his career as a director of commercial blockbusters. His past accumulation is too thick, Hollywood can't get along, and there are other places.

So Wu Baige later returned to China and took the fifth step of his directorial career—making the first and second episodes of [Red Cliff], but he basically exhausted his past heritage and brilliance.

A few years later, it was barely produced, which can be regarded as the sixth step of his directorial career [Taipinglun-Part [-]].

Of course, there is no seventh step.

Or at least there were.

After all, if you look at the name of the sixth step of [Taipinglun-upper], there should be a follow-up to [Taipinglun-down].

It's a pity that the box office of [Taipinglun-Up] is too nonsense, and it directly made the investors lose money.

So Wu Baige and Director Wu's career as a commercial blockbuster director stopped here

It was also after so many failures that Wu Baige bid farewell to his career as a director of commercial blockbusters. It can be seen that Director Wu Baige's professional vitality is vigorous.

The path that Zhang Nan intends to take is a path of both domestic and foreign development.

From now on in China, not to mention those who don’t look up and look down, there are still a few years to go to the box office, even if they are thrown away after the box office is finished, they still have to wait until the end of the box office. The relationship between these two years is still good.

But Zhang Nan was really reluctant to reject Luc Besson.

After all, Luc Besson's future development is really stable.

Later series such as [Taxi Express] series, [Hurricane Rescue] series, [Violent Street], [Super Body], etc., all belong to Luc Besson's blockbusters either as producer, producer, screenwriter, or director. Movie.

These are all film projects that Zhang Nan wants to dabble in and participate in.

"Can I choose both?" Of course the adults wanted them all, Zhang Nan said greedily to Old Luke.

Old Luke was also taken aback, and thought about it for a while. These two movies were shot this year and will be released next year.

It's not impossible to discuss it with the crew.

"Are you sure, Zhang, your itinerary for this year is already enough.

Go to "Titanic" as an assistant director and guest star, and star in Spielberg's "Jurassic Park 2" in friendship.

[Independence Day] You also made a guest appearance, and you have a good relationship with Will Smith, so you must go to the premiere.

There is also a project of [Jingcheng Martial Art Museum 2] in the future, and you have to start preparing for it in the second half of the year.

If you add those two films, you can squeeze in time, and you're sure you can handle that much travel and work. "

One by one, Old Luke put Zhang Nan's confirmed tasks in front of Zhang Nan and told Zhang Nan to listen to them one by one.

Zhang Nan was also a little dazed.

He vaguely felt that [Jingcheng Wuguan] hadn't been released for long, and he didn't find many film appointments.

But why now that I'm sorting it out, I realize that I've got so much work on me.

And each of them is related to his box office appeal, which cannot be shirked.

He is still in the initial stage, he has to work hard, he can't stop, and he has to keep moving forward.

But... this horse rider seems to be so busy that he has turned into a spinning top, and there is no time to stop.

"Let's work hard. I'll rest more next year. After all, I've just debuted." Zhang Nan sighed, cheered himself up again, and nodded to Old Luke.

Anyway, it was Zhang Nan who was tired, not him.

Old Luke didn't mind seeing Zhang Nan, let alone him.

"Since this is the case, then you are ready to prepare. The time to go to the [Titanic] crew will be advanced. You can't rest."

The corner of Zhang Nan's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything, he just went to pack his luggage silently.

【Titanic】Because the shooting scene is too big, the set is not in Hollywood, but in Mexico.
-
Mexico.

[Titanic] set.

"Hi director, I'm Zhang Nan."

After walking into the set, Zhang Nan immediately found James Cameron, the most eloquent person in the "Titanic" crew.

There is no way to count, the producer and director, he did it alone.

The male protagonist, Xiao Lizi, is only a 22-year-old boy. The new idol star in the circle, and the heroine, Kate Winslet, is one year younger than Xiao Lizi, and even more immature.

There is really no one in the entire crew who can compete with Cameron.

When James Cameron saw Zhang Nan coming to greet him, he just nodded politely and didn't say anything else.

James Cameron still has some dislike for the existence of Zhang Nan who has been plugged in halfway.

Zhang Nan saw that James Cameron had a cold attitude towards him, and he didn't have the hobby of sticking a hot face to someone's cold ass, so he greeted him, and then followed the crew to pack his luggage alone.

Zhang Nan didn't let old Luke come, and left old Luke in Hollywood.

Although the tasks of many agents include the responsibility of taking care of the life and work of star employers.

But Zhang Nan still felt a little awkward letting an old man in his decades take care of him.

Moreover, the filming was going on all over the place, Zhang Nan felt that in the end it was still uncertain who would take care of whom, so he simply asked Old Luke to stay in Hollywood for a long time to help him make connections and collect information, and call him directly if something happened, or come to him.

Zhang Nan had just put his luggage away, and felt a little sore and backache along the way, so he subconsciously started a stretching exercise and chest expansion exercise.

I have to say that after teaching Will Smith radio gymnastics for a period of time, Zhang Nan's movements are really standard.

But before finishing a set of moves, Zhang Nan found a handsome guy standing at the door staring at him blankly. After a glance, Zhang Nan was in a daze.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Nan." Zhang Nan politely stretched out his hand to the stunned handsome guy, and introduced himself.

The handsome guy was passing by casually, but stopped when he saw Zhang Nan doing radio gymnastics.

The handsome guy has a familiar personality. Seeing Zhang Nan's enthusiasm, he quickly stretched out his hand and said excitedly: "I, my name is Leonardo DiCaprio, Zhang, I have seen your movie , do you really know kung fu? I thought it was fake in the movie."

Xiao Lizi——Leonardo DiCaprio, Zhang Nan naturally recognized him.

The reason why he was in a daze at the beginning was mainly because Xiao Lizi was too young at this time, and compared with the fat middle-aged, unkempt uncle in later generations, he was a completely different person.

Fortunately, the movie [Titanic] is classic enough and influential enough.

It has been fully recorded. Xiao Lizi's peak appearance made Zhang Nan, who has watched "Titanic" several times, still have an impression of Xiao Lizi at this time.

Hearing Xiao Lizi's boasting words, although Zhang Nan didn't know kung fu, he couldn't say it out, so he could only answer tactfully and modestly.

"It can be regarded as a little bit!"
