How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 487: The commission of one to nine makes Chenglong heartbroken

3 month 7 day.

Just as "The Showdown" and "Alice in Wonderland" are entering their second week of release, the 82nd Academy Awards ceremony has also begun.

Zhang Nan did not attend as usual, but James Cameron couldn't resist the wishes of [-]th Century Fox Pictures and went with the "Avatar" crew.

But the result~
Same as the original time and space.

[Avatar] only received a marginal award for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction, which caused quite a stir from the outside world and within the industry.

……

"The Oscars are going to go downhill!" Zhang Nan said with emotion after watching the Oscars in the villa due to various reports in the media about Avatar's loss of the award.

Old Luke on the other side was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Going downhill? That's not true! Aren't the more artistic the film awards, the better?"

to be frank.

What Old Luke said was correct.

As the eighth art recognized by the world in recent years, film is understandable in its pursuit of art.

After all, the previous seven major arts: literature, music, dance, painting, sculpture, drama, and architecture. When judging who is the most awesome in the industry, it is not about who can make the most money, but about finding a small group of professionals to make the selection. The artistry of the work.

"As a new eighth art award in recent years, the more artistic the better, naturally. But the problem is that there are already three major European film festivals! And they have been running prosperously for so many years.

Besides, when it comes to art, basically whichever country has the richest cultural heritage has the upper hand. North America has only been around for over 200 years, so how can it compete with Europe?If they could really fight it off, there wouldn't be a plot about the rich man in "Titanic" wanting to marry a down-and-out noble lady, and Italian handmade products wouldn't be so popular in North America a few years ago. "Zhang Nan explained to Old Luke.

This well-founded explanation left Old Luke speechless and completely convinced.

"So...Oscar is on the wrong track?" Old Luke echoed Zhang Nan's explanation, giving a definition to the current development of the Oscar awards.

"It's definitely a mistake to make a mistake, but there is nothing we can do about it. The rise of the Oscars has always relied on the development of the prosperous film industry in North America. However, no matter how prosperous the industry is, there are times when it becomes lonely, especially in the past. There was also a financial tsunami, which accelerated this process.

Luke, you have been in Hollywood for so many years, so you should have some sense of the current momentum in Hollywood. I don’t believe you haven’t noticed that although the current Hollywood is calm and prosperous on the surface, there are some fundamental shortcomings. "

Zhang Nan is deducing the effect from the cause. After all, it is 2010 now, and later Hollywood developed the black Little Mermaid, but it will be around 2023.

Changes in a big industry certainly don't happen overnight, but they change over time. So at this time, there are actually some signs of decline in Hollywood, but only very slightly.

After Zhang Nan reminded him, Old Luke, as a veteran Hollywood driver, thought about it for a while and naturally knew that what Zhang Nan said was true.

"So! If the Oscars remain the same and continue to follow the path of commercial films to win awards, then they will be lonely along with Hollywood and struggle. Although it is of no use, it has been done after all!" Zhang Nan concluded that the Oscars are bound to decline. .

Old Luke continued to nod, and then the cell phone in his arms rang.

Then Old Luke answered the phone in front of Zhang Nan.

After a conversation, Old Luke hung up the phone and raised his head, looked at Zhang Nan, and said, "Zhang, Jack Cheng will be here soon."

Zhang Nan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

[British Showdown] has only been released the following week and is still in hot release. Does Chenglong want to work on another project now?
No wonder The Last of Us has been a hit in the Mainland film market for decades.

This unstoppable ambition is unmatched by other artists.

Of course.

Now that I'm in Chenglong's position, I won't be too tired when filming. Basically, I'm filming and having fun at the same time.

But in the future, when artists from the mainland entertainment industry are filming, who will not be in this state?

...still in the villa.

Chenglong came to visit Zhang Nan in person. After all, Zhang Nan is now Chenglong's boss.

At this time, Chenglong, who had made a successful comeback, looked much better than before. His whole body was full of energy and he walked with wind.

So after arriving, he explained his thoughts to Zhang Nan very frankly, just as Zhang Nan expected.

Chenglong wants to make another movie while the iron is hot.

"Brother Chenglong, if you want to make a movie while the iron is hot, I will definitely support it, but good projects are not something I can come up with casually. They take time."

There is a very clear clause in the contract between Zhang Nan and Chenglong.

That is, as long as you help Chenglong make a successful comeback, the follow-up will basically take two or three years to prepare a starring film for Chenglong.

When the contract period reaches a [-]-[-] split, this time will be extended.

"I know this. My trip this time is not to ask for a new project from Ananqi, but because I have chosen a project myself and want to star in it, but I don't know what the company's process is like." Chenglong explained.

After hearing Chenglong's words, Zhang Nan was not stupid and understood immediately.

Chenglong saw that [British Showdown] was successful and his own reputation had recovered, so he wanted to prepare his own project.

But that [-]-percent treaty...

If a movie is made and [-]% of the profit is taken away by Zhang Nan out of thin air, it would be a bit unacceptable for Chenglong to work for nothing.

"Brother Chenglong, it's like this. This [-]-percent clause limits the projects the company introduces to you, the remuneration and endorsement fees you receive.

Let's put it this way, the company doesn't care how much you invest your own money in your new project or how much you earn. The company only takes [-]% of your remuneration for this project. "Zhang Nan explained roughly to Chenglong.

Because Chenglong didn't understand these terms, he came here today just to say hello to Zhang Nan politely.

"Then... what is the salary the company has set for me now?" Chenglong asked.

This project was prepared by Chenglong himself, so the remuneration was naturally decided by Chenglong himself.

But Chenglong also understood that he could set the salary himself, but if it was set too low, Zhang Nan would not recognize it.

After hearing Chenglong's inquiry, Zhang Nan thought for a moment.

Based on the foundation of Chenglong's past works, coupled with the successful comeback of "British Showdown".

Chenglong's net worth in Hollywood at this time is not to mention the 2000 million U.S. dollars in salary when he returned to his peak, but there are still more than 1000 million.

"1300 million US dollars." Zhang Nan gave a fair price.

Chenglong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the offer.

Because the price did not exceed his expectations and was even lower, he originally thought Zhang Nan would offer him 1500 million US dollars or even 2000 million US dollars.

but……

Under the terms of 1300%, he can only get 130 million US dollars of the 1000 million US dollars, and the remaining [-] million plus will be divided among Zhang Nan.

This huge disparity made Chenglong feel a little heartbroken.

However, Chenglong also understood that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Nankai's [-] points.
