How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 311 It’s summer vacation again, [-]th Century Fox: I was obviously the one who came first
When Zhang Nan returned to Hollywood from the mainland, the pie-sharing party for the 75th Oscars was already over.

[Chicago], which has a strong artistic atmosphere, beat the annual commercial masterpiece [Lord of the Rings 2] and won the best picture.

The Oscar for Best Director also went to Roman Polanski, the director of "The Pianist" who has a stronger art film atmosphere.

And the leading actor of "The Pianist", Adrien Brody, also won the Academy Award for Best Actor.

However, the Oscar for Best Actress was won by Nicole Kidman, the heroine of "The Hours".

It can be said that the style of this year's Oscars has completely changed, from favoring commercial blockbusters to favoring art films with a relatively high style.

Almost all of the most valuable awards have been won by art films.

Of course, the Oscars are not reserved for commercial films. After all, they are world-famous due to the strength of Hollywood blockbusters.

Therefore, in terms of technical awards such as best sound effects, vision, audio..., Oscars gave enough respect to commercial blockbusters.

【蜘蛛侠1】和【指环王2】争夺最佳音响，【指环王2】与【少数派报告】竞争最佳音效，【指环王2】、【蜘蛛侠1】和【星球大战前传2】火拼最佳视效……

The battle was fierce, but also very funny, as if a group of prehistoric giant crocodiles were chasing some bone residue.

This made many directors who participated in this Oscar, such as Spielberg, George Lucas, etc., feel very angry.

However, these veteran directors can still control their emotions. After all, after so many years of glory, they have won all the awards they should win, including this one or two awards.

But young Peter Jackson couldn't stand it anymore. After the Oscars, he called Zhang Nan to complain.

"Zhang, I took the time to go there during my busy schedule of planning [The Lord of the Rings - The Legend of Sauron]."

"As a result, the Golden Globe Awards also gave me nominations for Best Picture and Best Director. The Oscars really didn't treat me as a human being, so they gave me a nomination for Best Picture, and two The awards for scraps were like this last year, and they are still like this this year, and they are not as good as last year. If I had known that I would not participate like you."

Faced with Peter Jackson's complaints, Zhang Nan had no choice but to go with his emotions and say that after all, the two of them would collaborate on "Lord of the Rings - The Legend of Sauron" next.

But considering [Lord of the Rings 3], at the 76th Oscars next year, it was nominated for 11 awards and won 11 awards, achieving a 100% Oscar winning rate.

"Participate for another year, otherwise it will not look good. Look at me. I have been participating continuously until now, and then I started to be absent. Do you think you are better than me?"

If anyone else said this to Peter Jackson, even Spielberg, George Lucas and James Cameron, Peter Jackson would be dismissive.

I made "Lord of the Rings Part 40" at the age of 1 and it grossed US$8.9 million at the global box office, just one step away from the global threshold of US$[-] billion. Who are you?
But facing Zhang Nan, Peter Jackson couldn't come up with such thoughts.

Without it.

Zhang Nan is only in her thirties now, and she was only in her 20s when she became famous. Now her starring roles have grossed over 20 billion dollars, and her director has produced masterpieces with a global box office of over [-] billion U.S. dollars. It’s really awesome.

"Okay, then I will participate again next year to give you face." Peter Jackson muttered.

Hearing this, Zhang Nan changed the subject and said, "How is the whole script of [The Lord of the Rings - The Legend of Sauron] going?" "Almost there." Peter Jackson replied.

Zhang Nan continued to ask: "With the current content plan, how many movies can be produced?"

"A trilogy!" Peter Jackson thought for a moment and gave a rough answer.

"The scope of a trilogy is definitely not enough. If this wave of [The Lord of the Rings - The Legend of Sauron] ends, this IP will basically be completely over, and there will be no more spin-offs. At least it will be a five-part series. Length." Zhang Nan gave his thoughts.

Peter Jackson was speechless when he heard this, "Zhang, do you want me to make this series of movies for the rest of my life?"

"You are not asked to make one series of movies for your whole life, but there are many things that can be shot. You can make them if you want to, and you can stop and make other things if you don't want to. So this time [The Lord of the Rings - The Legend of Sauron], I I will talk to Alan Toby. It will not be released one after another like the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but will be released according to the situation. After all, he holds a top IP in his hands, and his new line movie You have enough business confidence!" Zhang Nan explained.

Peter Jackson thought for a moment and found that this was indeed the case.

It is better to plan more space and shoot more movies than to have no choice after shooting.

"Okay, just follow your ideas, and I will design the overall plot. I will try to start with five parts, and there will be no cap on ten parts."

Peter Jackson was able to coax Alan Tobey to invest [-] million US dollars in making the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy in one go when he was not very famous. This bragging was quite impressive.

Therefore, the plot of "The Lord of the Rings - The Legend of Sauron", which had been almost determined, once again faced major changes, and the originally scheduled launch time of "The Lord of the Rings - The Legend of Sauron" was once again pushed back.

After hearing this, Alan Toby rushed over in a hurry and asked what happened.

After all, [Lord of the Rings - Legend of Sauron] at this time is considered the ballast stone series of New Line Cinema. If anything goes wrong, it will be unbearable damage for New Line Cinema.

After hearing the specific situation, Alan Toby agreed with Zhang Nan's idea, agreed to this major plot change, and increased the intensity.

Zhang Nan also took advantage of this period of time and began to implement the guest film appointments that had been confirmed before, as well as the film appointments for his confidante.

[The day after tomorrow], [National Treasure], [I, Robot], [Fast and Furious 2]...

2003 5 Month 2 Day.

The summer vacation in North America is here again.

This time, it was Twentieth Century Fox that fired the first shot of the North American summer vacation.

Look at Columbia’s comic-book superhero movie-[Spider-Man 1], which grossed US$8.25 million at the global box office.

[-]th Century Fox feels like it's been cheated.

Because they were the first to establish the market for comic-book superhero movies.

Obviously it was me, [-]th Century Fox, who came first, whether it was comic book movies or superhero movies, I was the first to do it. Why did you, Columbia, take the lead? Why did the situation become like this?

Could it be that your Columbia was acquired by Sony, so you learned the neon white art?
