How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 462 1 million US dollars in 1600 minute

Zhang Nan could vaguely see the thoughts of the three big ones that had grown up from the three little ones.

But in the end, he remained silent and did not issue a statement.

the reason is simple.

These three people are too tied to the characters of the [Harry Potter] series, and it is difficult for them to grow.

The same is true for the original time and space.

Even little Hermione, the most outstanding of the three, did not achieve any results in the end.

This is the curse of child stars.

Of course.

Having said that, many people still wouldn't refuse if they could fall under this spell.

After all, there are so many people in the entertainment industry who have never been able to reach the point where they are restricted by their role image like a famous child star after working in the entertainment industry for a lifetime, because many people have no role image at all.

……

a few days later.

Zhang Nan has finished filming "Harry Potter 6" and is planning to take the money and leave.

Director David Yates leaned in.

"Zhang, do you have any ideas about the [Harry Potter-Voldemort 2] project?"

When David Yates said this to Zhang Nan, his tone was very amiable.

Without it.

Several [Harry Potter] main series, plus a [Harry Potter-Voldemort] spin-off film that grossed over one billion US dollars at the global box office.

Although many people do not give David Yates credit for the above-mentioned series, David Yates also put in some hard work.

The hard work of a director of an ordinary movie is of no use, but the hard work of a director of a movie with a single box office of hundreds of millions and over one billion US dollars is quite useful.

The most realistic and direct effect is that after the global box office of "Harry Potter - Voldemort" exceeded [-] billion, many producers began to come to David Yates to discuss projects.

And they are basically top-notch B-level films with investments of tens of millions of US dollars, and a few are A-level projects worth over [-] million US dollars.

This is also normal.

After all, in the eyes of the producers, David Yates can make a movie that has a box office of hundreds of millions and a box office of over one billion US dollars. Although it is not the main credit, he still has the ability to make a few hundred million US dollars at the global box office. The project should have a high probability of success.

So under such circumstances, David Yates is naturally looking forward to [Harry Potter-Voldemort 2].

"Forehead……"

Zhang Nan instantly realized what David Yates was thinking from his expression and demeanor, so he paused.

The reason why he paused was because he really didn’t have any film appointments at the moment. He had already finished shooting "Lord of the Rings - Legend of Sauron 2" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

But news came from Spielberg a while ago that Universal Pictures agreed to his conditions for "Jurassic World 2", and Paramount also recently had thoughts on "Transformers 2" , Huaying is also ready to make a move and wants to further cooperate with the [Transformers] series.

If nothing else, his four- to five-month schedule will be gone this year.

Add [Harry Potter-Voldemort 2] to the list, and that’s six to seven months, which is more than half a year.

a bit tired.

But more importantly, Zhang Nan is afraid that the giants in Hollywood will play a game of antagonism with him, causing the movies he stars in to compete at the box office and lower his pay.

It's not impossible.

Because there are only so many hot schedules in North America - summer vacation and Christmas.

As he starred in more movies, it was inevitable that this would happen.

And the most important thing is that David Yates didn't say any conditions, just let him express his opinion.

If after expressing his opinion, Warner does not pay enough for the film, will he act or not?

"Not yet. When preparations for the project officially begin, let's talk in detail. David, how about it?" Zhang Nan said perfunctorily to David Yates.

David Yates could only nod in agreement. …

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

The 81st Oscars sent an invitation letter to Zhang Nan as usual, and Zhang Nan declined as usual by ignoring it and not replying.

no way.

The Oscar culture has become increasingly weird in recent years.

They are all specious art films, which are really meaningless.

At the same time that Zhang Nan rejected the Oscar, Old Luke also presented the terms negotiated with Marvel Studios to Zhang Nan.

"Nick Chang, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Zhang Nan was not too surprised to see that Marvel Studios wanted him to play this black character from the original time and space.

After all, among the original Marvel Cinematic Universe characters, this character is the most relevant to Zhang Nan.

Appropriate here does not mean that the image is appropriate, but that the location and shooting conditions are appropriate.

Because of the coffee position.

Not to mention the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is still just cats and dogs, or the Marvel Cinematic Universe that will reach its peak in the third phase in the future, the core character Robert Downey Jr. is inferior to Zhang Nan. Meaning.

Not to mention the "Iron Man" series in which Robert Downey Jr. personally starred, the total box office of a single film exceeded one billion US dollars.

Even if we put [Avengers 1.2.3.4] on Robert Downey Jr. alone, the gap is obvious compared with Zhang Nan.

Because of the Avengers 1.2.3.4 tetralogy, the highest fourth part only had a box office of more than 27 billion U.S. dollars, and the remaining third part has just exceeded 20 billion U.S. dollars at the box office. The first and second parts are even more It’s just a box office of over a billion dollars.

But this kind of achievement is still the box office performance that Marvel Studios has accumulated for many years by relying on the movie universe series.

And what about Zhang Nan?

In 2008, the box office of his solo starring role was more than 42 billion U.S. dollars. In 2007, it had an influence of more than 50 billion U.S. dollars.

Going forward, the number of box offices that Zhang Nan can influence every year is not a small amount.

It can be said that it took many years for Marvel Studios to produce an "Avengers" series, and it also made the audience tired of it.

But Zhang Nan relies on hard power every year to achieve results similar to those in the Avengers series.

The gap between the two cannot be compared in the same day.

Let’s give some specific data to illustrate.

That is the current cumulative box office of the movies starring Zhang Nan in his career, and the data has exceeded 250 billion US dollars.

If you include guest appearances and dubbing movies, this number can double again, approaching 500 billion US dollars.

And with Zhang Nan's brilliant resume, this role of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., with no more than a few guest appearances, is the most suitable role for Zhang Nan.

Because no matter how many scenes there are, Marvel Studios is unlikely to hire Zhang Nan.

"How much does Marvel offer?"

There was too much content in the document, and Zhang Nan was too lazy to read it, so he directly asked Old Luke about the quotation for his cameo from Marvel Studios.

But looking at Old Luke's irresistible smile, Zhang Nan knew that the answer would be no low.

"Marvel Studios said that your one-time appearance fee, starting at 3000 million US dollars, is a bit too expensive, and their Marvel Cinematic Universe's requirements for your appearances are also a bit high." Old Luke couldn't help it. Yu explained.

Zhang Nan lost his temper and interrupted with a question: "So?"

"Based on the minutes played in the movie, 1 minute is 1600 million U.S. dollars." Old Luke replied.

1 million US dollars per minute?
Even though Zhang Nan was somewhat well-informed, he had the urge to gasp a bit when he heard this number.

Robert Downey Jr. starred in the "Avengers" series in the original time and space, and guest-starred in Holland's "Spider-Man" series. How much does it cost for 1 minute?

Zhang Nan remembers that in "Avengers 3", Robert Downey Jr.'s price for one minute was US$1 million, and in "Spider-Man: Homecoming", Robert Downey Jr.'s one-minute appearance was US$250 million.
