How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 426: If it were you, you would be a workaholic too

Old Luke on the side heard Zhang Nan pulling him out as a shield again, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a little deeper.

This is the second time Zhang Nan has used the same words.

The last time was a few days ago, when Zhang Nan dealt with Universal Pictures' probing about the "Jurassic World 2" project.

After hearing what Zhang Nan said, Bob Brett, the president of Disney Pictures, was a little jumpy.

hold on?
I just wanted to wait and see what happened, and that's why I ended up in this situation.

Moreover, Zhang Nan can bring a new series [Transformers] to a global box office of nearly 14 billion U.S. dollars. Zhang Nan is currently filming [Rebirth 2], which has a deep fan base!

"Then... if we cooperate now, what will be the specific changes?" Bob Brett said these words through gritted teeth.

Seeing the sincerity of Disney Pictures, Zhang Nan didn't waste any more nonsense and said directly to the lion: "Bob, we are also old friends. What we discussed before was not a fixed salary of 3.2 million U.S. dollars, plus 40.00% Two of the total box office dividends, and 50.00% of the five peripheral income.

I don’t ask for much. In terms of fixed salary, you can give me another 3000 million so that I can have an explanation with Old Luke. As for the total box office dividends and peripheral income, I will add another [-]%. No. Consider it too much! "

"Sigh~"

Bob Brett on the other side of the phone felt a bit of cold air between his teeth, but after sucking the air out of thin air for a while, he still asked tentatively, "If it is a full-fixed-remuneration cooperation..."

"$15 billion, Bob, as long as you agree now, I will immediately fly Old Luke back to North America to sign the contract."

Zhang Nan directly interrupted Bob Brett's probing words and gave an affirmative answer. Then there was no sound on the other end of the phone. Zhang Nan continued to confuse: "Bob, I actually recommend you Disneyland." Choose this method of cooperation.”

Bob Brett on the other end of the phone was speechless.

Of course I recommend it, you can directly make 15 billion US dollars without risk.

"Let's focus on the half-share and half-fixed remuneration model!" Bob Brett changed the subject.

Finally, after some discussions, Zhang Nan and Disney Pictures basically reached a consensus on the intention to cooperate on "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

A fixed salary of US$3.5 million, plus 40.00% of the total box office dividend, and 60.00% of peripheral income.

Seeing this clause, which at least cost at least [-] million more than the previously negotiated terms, Bob Brett was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
-
The time came to mid-November.

Zhang Nan also stayed on the crew of "Rebirth 2" for more than two months and completely completed directing and starring in "Rebirth 2".

After another two or three months of post-production processing, [Armageddon 2] will be ready for release.

Zhang Nan plans to schedule "Rebirth 2" at the beginning of 2008 to distance herself from the financial tsunami that broke out in September.

After all, if it is released during the summer vacation, the stock market will start to crash and trapeze artists will appear frequently. He is crazy about asking for money in the film market, which is a bit impolite and easy to be hated by others.

But just when Zhang Nan was planning to return to North America directly from Longgong Film and Television City, Chenglong came to Longgong Film and Television City and specifically approached him.

……

Longbow Film and Television City.

Inside the President's Office.

Zhang Nan was a little surprised by Chenglong's sudden appearance.

Because compared with the original "Rush Hour 3" that only took in a global box office of US$2.5 million, the current global box office of "Rush Hour 3" of US$3 million is definitely enough to support Chenglong's return to Hollywood for development.

It’s just starting from B-level movies worth tens of millions of dollars!It looks like it stretches the crotch, but even in Asia, it is already a rare resource.

Moreover, Chenglong, who has a solid foundation, is different from others. As long as Chenglong has a B-level movie with a revenue of tens of millions of dollars and is successful at the box office, he can immediately turn around and return to the top.

"Brother Chenglong, you should look for projects in Hollywood while the business is hot to make a comeback, right?" Zhang Nan asked his assistant at the right time to pour a glass of water for Chenglong.

Chenglong took the tea handed over by the assistant, took a sip, shook his head and said, "I'm old, I don't want to bother anymore."

"???"

Zhang Nan's face was full of question marks.

You have been working on the original space and time without stopping until 2023. When you couldn't move anymore, you even made a "Spirit of Dragon Horse". You told me that you don't want to work anymore?
But Zhang Nan thought again.

After the original "Rush Hour 2007" in 3, in addition to cooperating with Li Lian on "The King of Kung Fu" in 2008, it was not until 2009 that another film "Shinjuku Incident" was filmed.

Compared with the previous frequency of Chenglong starring in two movies a year, this is really far behind.

It is estimated that at this time, Chenglong felt that he was already over 50 years old and could no longer fight, and he wanted to retire.

After all, Chenglong has made a lot of money over the years, which will be enough for the rest of his life.

The result~
Obviously, after decades of being star-studded and praised for decades, I have become accustomed to the bustling dragon ride, and have become somewhat inseparable from the stage.

After a short break, Chenglong became more ambitious again and returned to the entertainment industry with a high profile.

This is also normal.

Just like so many well-known entrepreneurs, why are most of them workaholics?

It’s not that they have masochistic tendencies, but the situation in other people’s jobs is very different from yours.

Your job - nine to five (more likely 996), working hard to move bricks.

Their jobs have no time limit, and their main jobs are golfing, fishing, eating, bragging, and flattering... If it were you, you would have to become a workaholic.

The same goes for Cheng Long Entering the crew.

What you think of Chenglong filming - so dangerous, so much action, and so long working hours every day.

In fact, filming in Chenglong was definitely dangerous in the early years, but it must have gradually become safer in recent years. Otherwise, Chenglong's 50- or [-]-year-old body would not be alive today.

Then it’s time to play happily in front of the camera and enjoy the praise and excitement of others.

"Then... why are you here?" Zhang Nan took back his thoughts and asked with some doubts.

Chenglong had a look of embarrassment on his face when he heard this, but his cheerful personality still made him hesitate for a moment, and he said in a low voice: "Anan, do you have any connections with Mainland Radio and Television?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Nan didn't answer, but asked instead.

Chenglong was asking for help, and he didn't hide it. He said bluntly: "The mainland release of [Rush Hour 3] was blocked. If the first two movies were blocked, it would be nothing. If it was blocked, it would be blocked. But this [Rush Hour 3] is blocked." ], the film I got was approximately US$1500 million and the right to screen in the mainland. If the movie cannot be released in the mainland, I will..."

Miserable.

Zhang Nan mentally added to Zhang Nan's unfinished words.
