How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 306 Cameo [Harry Potter 3]

how about it?
Faced with such a condition, Lin Yishan just wanted to bow down now, and had no intention of refusing at all, so he signed the director contract of Longbow Film and Television Company on the spot.

Then Zhang Nan directly pushed the project plans for the two "Martial Arts" spin-off films in front of Lin Yishan, asking him to prepare well and start filming as soon as possible.

……

[Harry Potter 3] crew.

Zhang Nan arrived at the appointed time and was surrounded by three little ones.

No, it's a bit inappropriate to call them the three little ones now, because after a few years, these little actors have reached puberty, and they are so tall that they are called a fast, and they no longer look like children.

"Zhang, did you really get 2 million US dollars for one movie?" Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley and is a fan of money, surrounded Zhang Nan and started talking about the topic of salary.

Seeing this, Zhang Nan rubbed his orange hair and said, "It's almost the same, but I haven't received the money yet."

"Wow! How much money does that cost? Now I play Ron Weasley, and the crew only gave me 100 million US dollars. I have to play..."

Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, started to think about it, "I have to play Ron Weasley [-] times to earn so much money. Can [Harry Potter] make [-] movies?" "

【Harry Potter】Can you make [-] copies?

There is something wrong with your question!

Besides, at the rate of more than one Harry Potter film a year, if you really can make [-] films, it’s still a question of whether you can finish them.

"You can't calculate the accounts like this. As you get older and [Harry Potter] takes longer and longer, your salary will increase, and it won't always be this low." Zhang Nan comforted.

And what Zhang Nan said was really not to lie to the three little ones.

Because according to the reports Zhang Nan saw in the original time and space, the remuneration of these three little ones in the entire [Harry Potter] series was quite a lot.

Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter, received a total of almost 8400 million pounds (approximately 7.1 million yuan), and Emma Watson, who played Hermione, also received a total salary of 6200 million pounds (approximately 5.2 million yuan). .

Even though Ron, played by Rupert Grint, is the least popular among the protagonists, the entire series' salary is still 3700 million pounds (approximately 3.1 million yuan).

And these are just the remuneration, the peripheral income of [Harry Potter], these young actors can get a lot of it just by relying on the portrait rights.

"Zhang, I really like the elves in [The Lord of the Rings]. Can you let me play a beautiful elf?"

Compared to Rupert Grint's emphasis on remuneration, Eisen Woma, who played Hermione, was infected with the wit of the entertainment industry, and said to Zhang Nan with a little intention.

Zhang Nan looked at Eisenwoma after hearing this.

No wonder that among the three little ones in the future, this Hermione was the best. Not to mention that she basically got rid of Hermione's inherent image, but it was almost the same.

"I don't know if it will work, but I'll tell Peter."

Daniel, who plays Harry Potter, was a little confused when he heard this and asked: "Who is Peter?"

"The director of the [Lord of the Rings] series." Eisenwoma explained to Daniel like a know-it-all lady.

After hearing Eisenwoma's explanation, Daniel's eyes lit up, "Zhang, I particularly like the dwarves in [Lord of the Rings]."

The meaning in the words is almost the same as that of Eisen Woma, who also wants to play a small role.

Zhang Nan naturally repeated what he had just said to Eisenwoma.

Then the three little ones wanted to get some benefits from Zhang Nan's cuteness, but Zhang Nan was called away by David Morris, the president of Warner Pictures, and Alfonso Cuaron, the director of "Harry Potter 3" who just took over. .Yes, [Harry Potter 3] has a new director.

Chris Columbus, who previously created the "Home Alone" series, was replaced by Alfonso Cuaron, who has no well-known works.

Of course, unlike Universal Pictures who kicked off the director of "Fast and Furious 1", Warner Pictures has no intention of firing Chris Columbus.

It's purely Chris Columbus' unilateral decision not to continue to be the director of the [Harry Potter] series, but to retire and return to his family.

Warner Pictures also talked with Chris Columbus for a long time about this matter, and tried to retain him for a long time. The price was also very high, but in the end, Chris Columbus was not retained to continue directing.

这也是为何继2002年的【哈利波特2】之后，【哈利波特3】没有在2003继续上映，而是被拖到了2004年。

It actually took Warner a long time to find a director.

After all, [Harry Potter] are two series worth [-] million to [-] million dollars, almost one billion dollars. Once they screw up, it will really screw up.

"Zhang, you still take good care of the three of them?"

Director Alfonso Cuaron obviously heard the previous conversation between Zhang Nan and the three little ones.

"I have a little idea of ​​caring, but it's more about mutual benefit. After all, no one knows if the new [Lord of the Rings] derivative film will be successful. The three of them have the fame of the [Harry Potter] series. For a small role, if the [Harry Potter] series is more popular and good luck, I will not lose, and New Line Films and Peter Jackson will have no objection." Zhang Nan explained.

When Warner President David Morris heard Zhang Nan's words about the "Lord of the Rings" spin-off, his expression changed a little, "So, what you mentioned to me at the premiere is to renew the life of the [Harry Potter] series." 'The solution is a spin-off?"

Zhang Nan nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Not bad."

"But isn't your asking price a bit too high? According to your asking price, Warner, as the IP provider of the entire spinoff project, has too little profit." David Morris said anxiously.

Zhang Nan didn't like David Morris at all when he heard this, and said angrily: "David, I don't think it's a good deal. I didn't force it, and I'll tell you in advance that the conditions of [The Lord of the Rings - The Legend of Sauron], It’s just a starting price.”

Starting price?
The starting price of a fixed remuneration of [-] million US dollars?

Your starting price idea is too outrageous.

David Morris was a little furious when he heard Zhang Nan's answer.

The main reason why Zhang Nan dared to be so tough on David Morris was because he knew that Warner really couldn't let go of the cash cow "Harry Potter" series.

After all, Europe and the United States are really obsessed with the magic academy.

The entire [Harry Potter] series has grossed nearly 80 billion U.S. dollars at the box office alone, and Warner can earn at least 40 billion U.S. dollars in profits.

And this is just the box office share, the [Harry Potter] series makes the most of the profits, but in terms of peripheral income, it is at least several times the box office share.

This point started from the original time and space Warner Pictures was working on "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", a spin-off of "Harry Potter".

You can see it by casting Johnny Depp in the lead role.

You must know that "Pirates of the Caribbean" series has such an explosive box office, and the producer is the real estate advertising department of Disney, a Hollywood giant. In the end, they couldn't afford Johnny Depp's asking price.

But Warner dared to find Johnny Depp to star in order to maximize the popularity of "Harry Potter" in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

This shows how profitable the [Harry Potter] series is.

　A little late, sorry, mainly because I changed the order of some plots
