Chapter 447 The outrageous salaries of [Raiders of the Lost Ark 4] and [Jurassic World 2]
The time came to mid-to-late May of 2008.

The North American summer vacation of 2008 was completely ignited.

"Iron Man", which was released for more than two weeks, did not even have a 30.00% box office drop in the second week, but stabilized at 20.00%.

As a result, the box office of "Iron Man" in the second week once again reported US$7570.3 million, and the cumulative box office of "Iron Man" directly reached US$1.8 million.

In the third week, "Iron Man" once again scored a single-week box office of 4529.6 million U.S. dollars, making its total North American box office exceed 2.25 million U.S. dollars, reaching [-] million U.S. dollars.

For a time, Robert Downey Jr. swept away the haze of the past with "Iron Man" and became instantly famous. His salary also soared from 1 US dollars in "Iron Man 50" to nearly [-] million US dollars.

But even at this price, Zhang Nan heard that many film crews have begun to offer film appointments to Robert Downey Jr.

Of course.

There are only so many positions in the vanity fair. Some people are popular, while others are naturally outdated.

For example, Chenglong and Li Lianlian.

Without it.

The North American box office of "The King of Kung Fu" is really a bit too eye-catching.

Even if he was affected by the impact of [Iron Man], it shouldn't be like this.

Two kung fu superstars teamed up, and the movie has been released for more than half a month. Not to mention the box office of 5000 million U.S. dollars, even half of the [-] million U.S. dollars has not yet been released.

It's true that it's a bit unmatched.

After this wave, it may be difficult for the two of them to hang out in Hollywood.

But Zhang Nan estimated that these two people probably had some ideas in mind.

So after hurriedly finishing the later film promotions, I returned directly to the mainland.

……

5 month 22 day.

Zhang Nan once again led Hu Ge to the premiere of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to gain exposure for the movie.

Yes.

"Blackjack", which was released around the same time as "The King of Kung Fu", has withstood the impact of "Iron Man" and is still in theaters.

Moreover, the cumulative box office in North America has reached more than 8000 million, and the cumulative box office worldwide has reached 1.57 million US dollars.

Zhang Nan’s idea is that since the North American box office has exceeded 8000 million US dollars, and the box office is just short of tens of millions US dollars, it will exceed [-] million US dollars, so let’s try to see if it can hit the [-] million US dollars threshold.

Although in today's North American movie market, the [-]-million-yuan movie box office club is not as popular as it used to be, it still has some effect.

If Hu Ge can achieve this achievement, it will be easier to get around in Hollywood.

Of course.

Zhang Nan just wanted to give it a try and led Hu Ge to attend a few more premieres. Anyway, he had to attend a lot of premieres this summer.After walking on the red carpet, Zhang Nan led Hu Ge to Spielberg.

Different from the dull reaction to seeing Robert Downey Jr. and the director of "Iron Man" before, Hu Ge's mood was a little excited this time.

But this is also normal.

After all, Robert Downey Jr. is just starting to gain momentum, while Spielberg has already become world-famous.

When Spielberg saw that Hu Ge was brought by Zhang Nan, he also made some big cakes to save his face and made Hu Ge leave in a hurry.

"This is your newly signed artist. Do you want to enter Hollywood?" Spielberg looked at Hu Ge walking away and asked Zhang Nan curiously.

Zhang Nan nodded, but corrected: "It's not that I want to break into Hollywood, but I have already entered Hollywood. [Blackjack] currently has a box office of more than 21 million US dollars in North America and a little over 8000 million US dollars in global box office. This kind of achievement Doesn’t that count as breaking into Hollywood?”

When Spielberg heard the box office of "Blackjack", he nodded in the affirmative, but still couldn't help but asked: "But you are at your peak now, with a fixed salary of hundreds of millions for one movie, how about that?" If there are more than one billion US dollars in other income, why bother bringing in new people?"

"It's just because you're in your prime that you have to bring in new people. Otherwise, if you're in a situation like yours before, how can you bring in new people? If you want to bring in new people, people won't give you much respect. Hollywood is very realistic, and... Is it strenuous? I just led people to participate in a few movie premieres, and then countless media started to report it." Zhang Nan explained with a look on his face.

After hearing the first half of what he said, Spielberg wanted to hit someone a little bit, and after hearing the second half of what he said... he wanted to hit someone even more.

But considering Zhang Nan’s status and the fact that his future retirement series [Jurassic World] was still tied to Zhang Nan, he endured it and changed the subject: “Look at Universal, I’ll shoot [Raiders of the Lost Ark 4]. It’s over, and it’s about to be released, so I started to urge me to make [Jurassic World 2].”

"I'm not going to take a break. I just finished shooting [Raiders of the Lost Ark 4] and started preparing for [Jurassic World 2]. I'm so anxious!" Zhang Nan considers that he will continue to shoot Disney Pictures' movies in the second half of the year. [Pirates of the Caribbean 3] and New Line Cinema's [Lord of the Rings: Sauron 2] are a little too busy, so I want to take a break.

Spielberg also heard the evasion in Zhang Nan's words. After thinking about it for a moment, he roughly understood the reason for Zhang Nan's evasion. After all, Zhang Nan's film contract cannot be said to be known to everyone. It can also be said that it is just a word of mouth. According to legend.

no way.

With Zhang Nan's current status, every paparazzi in Hollywood is paying close attention to her.

Apart from anything else, the reason why "Blackjack" has been able to survive to this day and is still in theaters is Zhang Nan's popularity, because it is the first time that Zhang Nan has brought newcomers to the premiere like this. Wu Jinhe before Zhou Jie didn’t get this treatment.

"It's just preparations. The actual shooting will definitely have to be postponed. I will never let this film come out within one or two years. After all, I rely on this series to support my retirement. I finished filming it all at once, and I still can't do it." Raise your ass," Spielberg said frankly.

"Are you still short of money for retirement?" Zhang Nan curled his lips and muttered.

Upon hearing this, Spielberg explained: "There is no shortage of money, but after staying in the spotlight for a long time, you are not willing to step down and sit in silence."

After hearing what Spielberg said, Zhang Nan finally understood.

Like Chenglong, this person became famous at a young age and has been sought after and watched in the entertainment industry all his life. He has been making movies not for fame and fortune, but to enjoy the feeling of being pleased.

"Then you ask Universal Pictures to prepare. A fixed salary of 50.00 million U.S. dollars, plus 60.00% of box office dividends, and [-]% of peripheral income sharing. These are my conditions." Zhang Nan said directly. conditions of.

Spielberg was stunned after hearing this.

"Zhang, isn't your condition a bit outrageous?"

"Outrageous?"

Zhang Nan repeated it, and then asked: "What's so outrageous?"
