How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 456 The financial tsunami is coming
An all-star cast, starring with zero pay, and a box office of over [-] million.

Because China Film Group is also able to intervene in the theater chain.

Therefore, this wave of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" can at least return a profit of [-] to [-] million yuan to China Film.

It cannot be said that it can completely make up for the shortcomings of the two parts of [Red Cliff Part [-] and Part [-]], but at least it can cover it up.

"So, Mr. Han, how do you want me to help?" Although Zhang Nan guessed what Han Sanpin was thinking, he still pretended not to understand.

really.

Han Sanpin heard Zhang Nan's words and quickly began to introduce the project to Zhang Nan.

There were no surprises, it was the [Foundation of the Nation] project that Zhang Nan had guessed.

"My idea is, can Director Zhang come... as a director?"

Halfway through a sentence, Han Sanpin paused.

Because Han Sanpin wanted Zhang Nan to make a cameo in the movie. After all, if "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" had Zhang Nan's cameo, he would be sure to sell the film rights overseas.

But in the end, I still didn’t dare to open this tooth!
Because in this movie, according to his idea, all the actors would be paid zero pay to star in it.

Mainland artist Han Sanpin is not a coward, after all, these people can be said to be living under his breath.

Chenglong, Li Lianlian, and Han Sanpin were a bit indifferent, after all, these two people had already returned to China in defeat from Hollywood.

But facing Zhang Nan, who is currently a powerful presence in Hollywood, Han Sanpin really didn't dare to lick his face and say the words "zero pay".

"That's no problem. After I finish filming [Pirates of the Caribbean 3], I can still go for a walk when I have time." Zhang Nan agreed to save face.
-
The time came to mid-September.

Zhang Nan is still filming on the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" at Longbow Studios, but Wall Street in North America is in trouble.

9 month 15 day.

The investment bank Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy under circumstances that most people did not expect.

The global investment community is in an uproar.

After the uproar, capital responded quickly.

9 month 17 day.

More than 1445 billion US dollars were withdrawn from the North American financial market, the stock market collapsed, and the media reported on the news that the North American economy was about to collapse.

9 month 20 day.

Relevant departments in North America have applied for a US$7000 billion rescue plan.

As soon as the news came out, many people in the North American financial market breathed a sigh of relief, and market sentiment stabilized.

But a few people began to sell assets at exorbitant prices. Some people remembered Buffett's famous saying: "I am greedy when others are afraid, and I am fearful when others are greedy" and began to enter the market.

Then--

Just after a few people's loss-making sales came to an end.

9 month 29 day.

The 7000 billion bailout plan was rejected.

道琼斯工业平均指数在午盘交易中下跌700点、博韦斯帕（Bovespa）在下跌10％之后被叫停、伦敦金融时报股票交易所下跌了15％、黄金飙升至每盎司900美元以上、油价跌至每桶95美元……

Global financial markets began to go into chaos.

……

mid-October.

Zhang Nan's role in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has been completed.

But Zhang Nan did not return to North America, but stayed at Longbow Film and Television City in the mainland.

Because North America was already in chaos at this time, and people from all sides were jealous because of the huge profits in the financial market.Zhang Nan was afraid that someone would hack him after he returned to North America, where people were quite unscrupulous.

His current net worth is worth his money.

Of course.

Although Zhang Nanren was not in North America, he still learned about the situation in North America through the phone and remotely through Old Luke.

For example, right now, Old Luke is reporting to Zhang Nan on the situation in North America.

"Warner Pictures postponed [Harry Potter 6] from the original Christmas release to next year's summer release. They claimed that the filming of the film was affected by the financial crisis, but this statement is just to fool fools. Everyone knows that Warner Pictures changed the schedule based on the bad economic environment." Old Luke babbled into the phone.

Zhang Nan had known this news for a long time, so he said nonchalantly: "That's right. It would be a bit thankless to release a movie under such circumstances."

As a result, just after Zhang Nan said this, Old Luke on the other side of the phone directly said: "Zhang, it's really a thankless task. MGM Pictures has decided to stick to the schedule of November 11th." Released [5: Quantum of Solace].”

Zhang Nan: "..."

In the original time and space, he really had not paid attention to the [007] series.

After all, this series is always about gods and ghosts.

But Zhang Nan is really not optimistic about MGM's counter-trend operation.

Under these economic conditions, what kind of quantum crisis have you broken?

The financial crisis is almost over.

Then Zhang Nan thought about the box office of the original film [007: Quantum of Solace].

5.89 million US dollars in box office.

Compared with the US$007 million of the previous game [6.16: Casino Royale], it is a little inferior, but it is far from a failure.

Zhang Nan was a little confused as to why this was the result.

And just when Zhang Nan couldn't understand the silence, Old Luke on the other side of the phone seemed to remember something and said hurriedly: "Zhang, the share we originally sold [Rebirth 2] was really cheap. Guess what the previous share price of [Rebirth 2] was at the highest price on the market?”

This is the second time that Old Luke has brought up the matter of selling shares of [Doomsday Rebirth 2] at a low price.

So the price must be quite outrageous.

Zhang Nan didn't want Old Luke to be proud on the phone, so he shouted directly: "500 billion US dollars?"

Old Luke on the other side of the phone was silent.

It felt like Zhang Nan's tone was bigger than the financial tsunami happening outside.

[Rebirth 2] has a total share of [-] million U.S. dollars. Zhang Nan’s words are an increase of [-] times. Stocks during the financial crisis did not play like this!
So Old Luke said calmly: "Not that much, only more than 200 billion US dollars."

"Old Luke, I know you are jealous, but the current situation in the North American financial market, you are closer than me, and you should know better. If we really deducted the share of [Rebirth 2] before taking action now, what do you think? What price can we sell it for? Let alone more than 200 billion, even more than 20 billion is difficult. It is better to sell it early and take advantage of the price." Zhang Nan said earnestly.

After listening to this, Old Luke on the other side of the phone thought about the situation in the market and nodded slightly.

Without it.

In the current North American financial market, operations are really fancy and cruel.

Companies that originally had stock prices of several billions suddenly dropped to hundreds of millions or tens of millions in an instant, and many even went bankrupt.

Are those companies really so worthless all of a sudden?

No.

It is just that it has been extremely devalued under the pressure of various financial means and the general environment.

The danger in today's North American financial market is that it really seems to have stepped into the jungle law of the jungle. If you don't have any strength to get around in it, there will probably not even be any bones and dregs left.

"Zhang, you are right, I was greedy." Old Luke on the other end of the phone responded to Zhang Nan with approval.
