How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 317 The envy and hatred of female artists

Spielberg left that day, and that evening Universal Pictures President Tosh Kramer called Zhang Nan.

There is only one meaning behind the words.

As long as the IP of the "Jurassic Park" series can be restarted, Zhang Nan can put forward any conditions.

When Zhang Nan heard this, he originally wanted to be polite, but seeing his sincere attitude, he immediately expressed his stance.

"A fixed remuneration of US$2.2 million, plus a 30.00% and 40.00% share of the total box office and a [-]% and [-]% share of peripheral income."

Universal Pictures President Tosh Kramer on the other side of the phone, although he had already been prepared for Zhang Nan's big opening, still swallowed his saliva and fell silent after hearing these conditions.

Then I compared Zhang Nan's conditions for "Lord of the Rings" - a fixed salary of 2 million US dollars, plus 30.00% of the total box office dividend, and 50.00% of peripheral income.

I found that Zhang Nan's asking price really couldn't be regarded as a big deal, it could only be regarded as making some 'appropriate' adjustments on the original basis.

In terms of fixed salary, this 'appropriate' adjustment has brought out the salary of a superstar in Hollywood's 2000 million salary club.

On various share-sharing contracts, there was an increase of 5.00%.

"Zhang, Universal can agree to such conditions, but you need to ensure that you can successfully restart the [Jurassic Park] series." Tosh Kramer said through gritted teeth.

"Of course, and this will be written in the contract. If the box office of the rebooted [Jurassic Park] movie does not reach one billion US dollars, then I will replenish Universal for the shortfall." Zhang Nan had no idea. He said to the phone with concern.

In 2009, James Cameron was able to rely on his experience in 3D special effects to bring the global box office of "Avatar" to a height of 27 billion US dollars.

In 2015, [Jurassic World] relied on the fan effect of the old IP to reach a global box office of US$16 billion.

He combined the two movies according to the situation, and dare not say anything else. Even without Goldfinger, the box office of "Jurassic World" starring him should be stable at a billion dollars.

……

8 month 25 day.

At the end of the North American summer vacation, Big Brother Chenglong debuted on the big screen with another action film - "Flying Dragon Reborn".

As a new film after the box office setback of "Devil Noon 2", Chenglong is very attentive to the promotion of this film.

But sometimes, just like when the tide goes out, people are irredeemable.

When the celebrity's popularity dissipates, no matter how hard the person involved struggles, it will be of no use.

In the end, "Flying Dragon Reborn" only took in a box office of 2200 million US dollars in North America, and the global box office was only just over 1200 million US dollars.

The total box office total was only US$3426 million, not even the US$3500 million in production costs.

Two consecutive starring action movies failed at the box office, making Chenglong's situation in Hollywood very worrying.

If it weren't for "Eighty Days Around the World", a project with an investment of over [-] million US dollars, Chenglong would have signed a contract with Disney and would be filming.

Then something might go wrong with this project.

But even so, this film "Around the World in [-] Days" will be Chenglong's last chance in Hollywood.

If it fails, the "Rush Hour" series will still be around, but Chenglong will have to leave Hollywood to avoid the limelight.

Therefore, Chenglong at this time, in order to improve the success rate of "Eighty Days Around the World", is very likely to visit again and ask him to make a guest appearance.

Naturally, Zhang Nan will not let his reputation as a box office mascot and his performance resume that has never failed to be tarnished.

So after signing a contract with Universal Pictures for the [Jurassic Park] reboot project, he flew back to the mainland with Jun Ji-hyun, who had been by his side.
-
Pengcheng.

Longbow Film and Television City.

[Kung Fu] crew.

Early in the morning, the entire crew did not start work as usual, but gathered at the door of the filming location.

"Will Director Zhang really make a cameo in Xingye's movie?" Someone's expression was still a bit incredulous. "The notice sent last night, I went to ask the assistant director in charge of the progress again today, and it is indeed true." Someone answered.

"But..., I still feel a bit uneasy. I'm not saying that Mr. Xing's movie is not good, but - Director Zhang's talent... is so awesome."

"Don't think so much. If you wait a little longer for the people to come, won't you know the result?"

The entire crew behind the scenes stood noisily in the back, talking constantly.

As for Zhou Xingxing and the other leading actors standing in front, although their expressions did not change much on the surface, their inner activities were similar to those of the behind-the-scenes staff behind them.

"Here it comes, here it comes, that's Director Zhang's car, a stretched Rolls-Royce. It's okay to take pictures." Someone with a sharp eye stirred up the emotions of everyone in the audience with an exclamation.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the stretched Rolls-Royce car in the distance.

"boom!"

The car door was opened, and Zhang Nan got out of the car first, then waved to the people from the [Kung Fu] crew who were waiting for him, and then turned around and led Jun Ji-hyun and Ishihara Satomi out of the car like gentlemen.

Jun Ji-hyun came back from Hollywood with Zhang Nan.

As for Satomi Ishihara, she was one of the female artists that Akina Nakamori mentioned to Zhang Nan before, and that her agency asked her to help support her.

At that time, Zhang Nan also asked Akina Nakamori to choose the resources for two "Martial Arts" spin-off films, and Akina Nakamori obeyed obediently.

And now the two parts of [Martial Arts School] also happened to be filmed in Longbow Film and Television City.

As soon as Zhang Nan came back from Hollywood, Akina Nakamori paid a neon-style visit to Zhang Nan with the very ambitious Satomi Ishihara.

And then... the situation became like this.

"Director Zhang."

Zhou Xingxing walked up to Zhang Nan first, and then began to introduce to Zhang Nan the creative team of the "Kung Fu" crew.

"This is the fat boy who played the sixth junior brother in [Shaolin Football] before."

"This is the charterer."

"This is the charterer."

"..."

After seeing Zhang Nan, he nodded slightly to indicate it. However, when Zhou Xingxing introduced the mute heroine Huang Shengyi, his eyes changed slightly, but no one noticed.

Because compared to Zhang Nan's subtle change, Huang Shengyi's reaction was more excited.

The envy in his eyes towards Jun Ji-hyun and Ishihara Rimi who were following behind Zhang Nan can basically be said to be envy and jealousy that cannot be concealed.

But this is also normal.

Because not to mention Huang Shengyi, all the female artists in the mainland, all Asia, and even the global entertainment industry have this kind of envy and jealousy towards those female artists who are close to Zhang Nan.

Without him.

There are so many benefits!
Zhang Nan really provides all kinds of top Hollywood resources!
For example, the current Jun Ji-hyun, with two "Tomb Raider" series, has made him crazy with envy and jealousy among female artists in the Korean entertainment industry.

They are all being played with, and they are all getting married.

And many times, just for a film appointment, and they are just ordinary resources in the Korean entertainment industry, they have to be beaten with several different types of sticks.

But what about Jun Ji-hyun?
Even if you get a film appointment in a top Hollywood blockbuster, you still have to be beaten with a stick.

But that’s Zhang Nan’s stick!
It has the blessing of fame from the world's top directors and superstars.

That can't be said to be an ordinary stick, it is a luxury product, and it is a top-notch luxury product that is limited to one in the world.
