How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 33 Mr. 2000

"Big news?"

After thinking for a while, Old Luke clapped his hands and said excitedly: "There is really one, Jim Carrey, you know!"

Zhang Nan nodded.

For this evergreen tree in the Hollywood film industry, it is difficult for Zhang Nan to know.

At this time, Jim Carrey was popular.

If we say that James Cameron is somewhat similar to Zhou Xinchi in the seriousness of the director.

Then Jim Carrey is somewhat similar to Zhou Xinchi in terms of actors, both of them are comedians.

Of course, Jim Carrey has some talent in comedy, but Zhang Nan feels that he has not yet reached Zhou Xinchi's level in comedy.

Many of Jim Carrey's comedy movies are boring after watching several times, not as good as Zhou Xinchi's movies that you can never get tired of watching-of course, it may be that Zhang Nan can't deeply appreciate European and American comedies.

If you have to find some domestic comedians who are similar to Jim Carrey for comparison.

So Zhang Nan feels that Jim Carrey at this time is actually somewhat similar to Xu Guangtou and Huang Bo who have emerged in the Mainland for about 10 years.

It used to be a sensation, but slowly it became lonely.

It's not that there are no more works, but that the works are gradually becoming less funny.

Of course, Jim Carrey is still at his peak at this time, just like Xu Guangtou and Huang Bo in "Thailand".

"[Ace Agent] released on June NO.14, do you know how much Columbia pays Jim Carrey for the film?" Old Luke made a fuss.

Zhang Nan was a little stunned, he really didn't know this.

"Five million dollars."

Old Luke stretched out two fingers, and said with some regret after finishing speaking: "I knew Columbia was so big, and when I talked to them about your salary in [Men in Black 1], I should have asked for more."

2000 million U.S. dollars, if converted into RMB, that is more than 6 billion.

Most of Jim Carrey's comedies are filmed at a very fast speed. Coupled with the relatively complete film industry in Hollywood at this time, sometimes a movie can be finished in a few months, and then Jim Carrey can leave with the salary.

That is to say, you can earn 1.6 million a month.

20 years later, there are not many people with a monthly income of more than [-] yuan in China. Now Jim Carrey can be regarded as a monthly income of more than [-] million yuan, which shows how popular Jim Carrey is in Hollywood at this time.

Moreover, Jim Carrey's salary of up to 2000 million US dollars at this time is the first time in Hollywood history.

Later, Hollywood judged whether a star was considered a top superstar based on whether he could get a salary of 2000 million US dollars, and then derived a special term-2000 million salary club.

"You're not surprised at all? This is a $2000 million salary!" Old Luke found out that Zhang Nan didn't pay much attention after hearing the news, and expressed his incomprehension.

"It's not that I'm not surprised, but I feel that this matter is still far away from me, and I can't empathize with it." Zhang Nan made an excuse casually and replied perfunctorily.

It's not that Zhang Nan feels that this matter is far away from him, it's just that he came from later generations, and he is no longer surprised by the 2000 million film salary.

Old Luke got excited when he heard the words, "Zhang, you are all Hollywood stars, you have to have dreams and pursuits!

Why can’t I empathize with you? [Men in Black] originally planned to pay you tens of millions of dollars, but we later chose 500 million plus a [-]% share of the global box office.

There is not much difference between us and Jim Carrey, we can catch up if we try our best. "

Remuneration is the best criterion for judging a star's fame and value. Old Luke is Zhang Nan's manager. Naturally, the better Zhang Nan is, the better his life will be.

Zhang Nan gave Old Luke an angry look, and changed the subject: "How is the time coordination between Face Changing and the Fifth Element? Can you stagger my schedule?"

Old Luke nodded, "They all came here because of your fame after the [Jingcheng Wuguan] hit the box office. I heard that you agreed to act, and you agreed without frowning. It's just that the salary is relatively stingy. Give less."

"How much did you give?" Zhang Nan was still quite concerned about his money.

"[Face Changing] is willing to give 100 million US dollars, and [The Fifth Element] provides two remuneration methods, one is 200 million US dollars, and the other is 600 million US dollars plus a percentage of the movie's global box office of two.

[The Fifth Element] is probably learned from [Men in Black 1]. After all, both of them are invested by Columbia. Seeing that you chose the second one in [Men in Black 1], you can repeat the old tricks. After taking such a hand, I want you to choose the second option, so that they can save some production costs, and let you help them share some film investment risks.

However, I don't care how you choose, it's up to you. "

Old Luke is still more concerned about the 2000 million salary, and his words are all about the salary.

[Face Changing] did not give a choice, so Zhang Nan calculated in his heart, how to choose the salary of [The Fifth Element] is more cost-effective.

[The Fifth Element] The original space-time global cut 2.63 million US dollars.

If you choose the former fixed salary model, it will be 200 million US dollars.

If you choose the latter mode of half-fixed and half-divided remuneration, 520% is 600 million. After adding 10,000 million, it is [-]+ dollars less than the first one.

It stands to reason that Zhang Nan should choose the first one.

But Zhang Nan is planning for the future.

With the memory of his previous life, he will definitely be able to pick up the mistakes of many box office hit movies.

In order to maximize profits, it is definitely the most profitable to choose the semi-fixed half-dividend, or full-distribution model.

Then he has to show in advance that he likes the style of this salary model.

You cannot choose the method of maximizing benefits among different remuneration models just because you know the approximate box office after the movie is released.

After a long time, as long as he is not blind, he can tell whether he is optimistic about a movie or not based on the way he chooses his salary.

Then it would be inconvenient for him to miss it.

"[Fifth Element]'s remuneration is still the same as [Men in Black 1]. Choose half-fixed and half-divided. I like this model very much. There is a basic remuneration with guaranteed capital. If the movie sells well at the box office, my The salary can also rise with the tide, and you won't suffer too much." Zhang Nan explained to Old Luke.

Old Luke was a little unconcerned, "If the movie sells well, it won't suffer a loss. If it doesn't sell well, it will suffer a loss, and we will save them production costs and help them share the risk."

"The world is safe and secure, and you will not fail the Tathagata and not the Qing!" Zhang Nan wrote an ancient poem with emotion.

Old Luke didn't understand much, but just looking at Zhang Nan's expression, he also roughly understood what Zhang Nan said, muttered a few words in his mouth, and started to talk to Zhang Nan according to Zhang Nan's meaning. [Fifth Element] and [Face Changing] are ready to sign the contract after confirming the salary method.

　Did not complete the small goal, only completed a small part, [-], and it is too difficult to change [-] a day
