How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 476 The price is comparable to the top special effects lenses

Compared with Xu Zheng and Jiang Wen who came to invest, Zhao Benshan simply wanted to get strong support from Longbow Distribution in film distribution.

It would be best to win Zhang Nan's sole support for Chinese-language films every year.

Now, after years of evolution, Zhang Nan's original promise of support for Chinese films has become a top resource in the mainland entertainment industry.

Especially after [Assembly Number].

Without it.

The overseas box office of the original version of "Assembly" may not be clear to outsiders, but insiders know it all too well.

But after gaining Zhang Nan's support, the entire film's box office gross has reached as high as 5000 million US dollars.

Although the overseas version of "Assembly Number" has been remade and the copyright was bought out by Zhang Nan.

But it was Feng Xiaogang who was responsible for the remake!
Fame has been gained.

This also makes Feng Xiaogang feel much tougher when he was filming "The Great Earthquake" today than in the original time and space.

Faced with Zhao Benshan's request.

Zhang Nan recalled the Chinese-language movies released in 2010 and didn't expect any outstanding ones. Coupled with Zhao Benshan's low profile and the two's years of friendship, he agreed.

……

9 month 29 day.

"The Founding of the People's Republic of China" has been in theaters for 2.5 days, and the cumulative box office has reached an astonishing [-] million yuan.

But it will also face its first opponent after its release - "The Sound of the Wind" jointly produced by Mordu Film Group and Chinese Americans.

But these have little to do with Zhang Nan.

At this time, Zhang Nan has already joined the crew of "Transformers 2" which has just been prepared.

It was really just prepared.

It can be said that after the studio was set up here, Huaying and Paramount were rushing to start shooting, looking impatient.

But Zhang Nan also understood.

If he had a project with a production fee of 5.5 million US dollars, he would also want to start filming as soon as possible and release it as soon as possible.

Fortunately, although the project is urgent, Zhang Nan, who has lost the director's position, is not too busy.

no way.

After starring in commercial films for so many years, Zhang Nan has long figured out an efficient performance rule.

……

end of october.

After filming a scene, Zhang Nan came to Michael Bay.

Yes.

For the director position of "Transformers 2", Paramount Pictures chose Michael Bay, an assistant director who had participated in "Transformers 1".

"Michael, I may have to take a few days off in November." Zhang Nan said to Michael Bay.

Michael Bay, who was quite stressed about directing "Transformers 2", was a little excited when he heard that Zhang Nan was asking for leave: "Zhang, can't even 4 million US dollars buy you two months to perform?"

Zhang Nan's filming time for "Transformers 2" was two months.

"Can you blame me? If you prepare the project in September and I finish it in November, you won't have to ask for leave. And - Michael, don't forget that I helped you a lot with the early preparations. ." Zhang Nan made a strong statement.

Michael Bay couldn't argue with that.

"How many days are you going to ask for?"

“On November 2st, I have to attend the premiere of [Lord of the Rings: Sauron 2012], and then in mid-November, I have to go to the premiere of Roland Emmerich’s new film [2]. There’s a red carpet, and there’s a movie called Iron Man [-] from Marvel Studios that requires me to make a cameo.”

Zhang Nan explained the reason for taking leave.

It was all serious business, and Michael Bay couldn't refuse. …

11 month 2 day.

on Monday.

The premiere of "Lord of the Rings - Legend of Sauron 2" was still held at the Chinese Theater on Hollywood Avenue.

New Line Cinema President Alan Toby is a little nervous, but a little nervous. He is very contradictory, but easy to understand.

I am nervous because this [Lord of the Rings - Legend of Sauron 2] is about whether New Line Cinema can make up for the huge losses caused by [The Golden Compass].

If it cannot make up for it, then New Line Cinema may be swallowed up by Warner Pictures.

But I'm not nervous because Zhang Nan has never failed so far and is very stable.

then……

Zhang Nan did not disappoint Alan Toby.

Even though its first day of release was a Monday, [Lord of the Rings: Sauron 2] still grossed US$5800 million at the box office in North America.

Then there were 4400 million on Tuesday, 3500 million on Wednesday, and 2900 million on Thursday.

In the three days that followed over the weekend, a total of US$1.21 million was spent together.

In the first seven days of its first week, [Lord of the Rings: Sauron 2] directly generated US$2.87 million in North America.

Just based on this first-week box office performance in North America, it is basically certain that [The Lord of the Rings - Legend of Sauron 2] has knocked on the door to a global box office of one billion US dollars.

Watching from the side, Warner Pictures, which has been coveting New Line Cinema, is very restless.

then……

The restless Warner Pictures took action.

I went straight to Peter Jackson, who had just finished shooting "District [-]" and was feeling a little lonely because of the poor box office performance, and pitched him a script - "The Hobbit".

"If you come to direct, are you sure it will make a billion dollars at the box office?" This was the first sentence David Morris, president of Warner Pictures, said to Peter Jackson.

"I am confident that Zhang Nan will star." Peter Jackson answered affirmatively.

David Morris: "..." It doesn't matter what you say, I just didn't want to invite him, so I came to you first.

Zhang Nan's asking price for a [Harry Potter-Voldemort] series has already made David Morris a little unable to bear it.

Peter Jackson also saw David Murray's thoughts, and then continued: "If there is no starring role of Zhang Nan, then if Zhang Nan can be invited to guest star, I will be more confident."

Even if it means life or death, Zhang Nan will kill him with a knife!
David Morris thought of Zhang Nan's price, which has now evolved to 1 million US dollars per minute plus box office and 1500% of the surrounding area.

"The length of Zhang Nan's guest appearance cannot exceed 5 minutes at most, otherwise I might as well just invite Zhang Nan to star." David Morris decided.

Peter Jackson nodded slightly.

He also knows that it would be rude to say more, because this is 7500 million U.S. dollars plus box office and 5.00% of the peripheral salary.

Any more would really be inappropriate.

At the same time that Warner Pictures President David Morris and Peter Jackson were discussing the length of Zhang Nan's cameo, Zhang Nan was guest-starring in Marvel Studios' "Iron Man 2".

……

[Iron Man 2] crew.

In a coffee shop scene, Robert Downey Jr. slumped in a chair while acting decadent.

Zhang Nan wore an eye patch on her face and a windbreaker. Her appearance was very sharp and domineering. She led the black widow and sat opposite Iron Man played by Robert Downey Jr., saying nothing but full of momentum.

Director Jon Favreau, who was looking at the shooting scene from behind the viewfinder, looked very anxious and his heartbeat was a little faster.

Without it.

It costs 1 million US dollars per minute and there is a 1500% share in all aspects. It is more expensive than a top-notch special effects lens on a horse. If it were you, your heart would beat faster.
