How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 500 Li Lianlian: Director Zhang, what do you think of the mainland film market?

Under such circumstances, Leslie Cheung and Galloping Horse received Yu Entai's audition application from Zhang Nan, and the remuneration was high-risk box office share rather than fixed funds.

The two of them agreed without even thinking about it.

Then for projects such as [New Shaolin Temple], [Warring States], [Overheard 2]... and other projects, Zhang Nan basically sent the audition application in the name of the company.

Soon the corresponding project and production company confirmed the film appointment.

In just a few days, Hu Ge and Yu Entai's schedules for this year and next year are fully booked.

During this period, Chinese-Americans Wang Xiaowang and Feng Xiaogang even called specifically to deliver the contract for the starring role in "If You Are the One 2" that has not been approved yet to Zhang Nan.

Without it.

Although the remake of "Assembly" did not bring much profit to the Chinese and Feng Xiaogang, it did bring a lot of fame to the Chinese and Feng Xiaogang after it was released overseas.

When Huayi went public in 2009, it greatly boosted the stock price.

Today's mainland film and television market is so hot, and the influx of capital is so intense.

The Chinese-American kings are a little arrogant and want to learn from the operations of Hollywood giants on Wall Street and use projects to manipulate stock prices to achieve leek harvest.

So before taking action, I naturally wanted to learn from Zhang Nan, a figure who has a tacit understanding with Hollywood giants.

And Feng Xiaogang also wants to rely on Zhang Nan to make further progress in the international market.

That’s why we have the enthusiasm to deliver it to our doorstep.

But Zhang Nan declined.

Without it.

The rejection of Chinese people is because Zhang Nan looks down on the size, development prospects and potential of Chinese people.

Let’s put it this way, the stock price of Chinese stocks in 2023 is more than 77 yuan, less than [-] yuan, and the total market value is about [-] billion yuan.

But if we really calculate it, it would be good to have one billion yuan.

Because when domestic entertainment was at its peak, Wang and Xiaowang couldn't control their hearts, and started spending money on all kinds of things, and the company also began to take the path of financialization.

There were a lot of bad things going on, and Zhang Nan really had no intention of getting involved.

The reason why Feng Xiaogang was rejected was because his potential as a director was almost gone. "Earthquake" was considered the peak moment of Feng Xiaogang's career as a director. Together with Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly", which was released at the end of the year, it became the mainland's 2010 domestically produced film. Annual box office twin peaks.

In the original time and space, after the "Great Earthquake", Feng Xiaogang successively directed "1942", "Private Customization", "Old Paoer", "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" and "Youth".

It can be said that the quality of movies and the market share of box office have been declining.

Zhang Nan always pays attention to low-level support and high-level separation when making good friends.

Never let your efforts be tied up, so you must follow the principle of leaving when the character is at his peak.

This will maximize the benefits.

……

Mid to late July.

[Big Earthquake] is now in theaters.

The Chinese people abandoned their old job and went straight to China Television for an exclusive interview.

What are the film industry, high-tech photography technology... and other professional terms? They are all going out for free.

And the box office of [Big Earthquake] was indeed quite impressive.

The box office grossed 1.6 million yuan in the first four days, and the box office on Sunday was 5250 million yuan, setting a record for the highest single-day box office for a domestic film.

If you include the IMAX screen revenue with high ticket prices. The first-week box office of "Earthquake" can soar another 2000 million yuan to 1.8 million yuan.

The mainland's film and television market, which was already booming because of Zhang Nan's "Transformers 2", has now been set ablaze by "The Great Earthquake".

Of course.

The stock price of Chinese Americans is even more prosperous due to the good box office performance of "Big Earthquake".

……

Just when the Chinese and Feng Xiaogang were proud of the [big earthquake].

Zhang Nan was invited by Will Smith for a 'dinner' in Beijing.

Yes.

Will Smith came to Beijing because his son's "Kung Fu Dream" is about to be completed. As a father, he has to show up for a while.

Therefore, the final scene of "Kung Fu Dream" was done well. Even though there is currently a lot of news about "Big Earthquake", it still occupied some space in the media.

no way.

Zhang Nan, Will Smith and Li Lianhe, any one of these three people randomly selected to attend the event will be mentioned in the current domestic entertainment media reports.

What's more, the three of them appeared at the same time.

If it weren't for the fact that the current box office of "Earthquake" is indeed high, it is several levels higher than Feng Xiaogang's previous comedy movies. If it were an ordinary Feng Xiaogang movie, it would have to stay aside.

……

After the usual activities, Will Smith naturally wanted to do as the Romans do and treat Zhang Nan and Li Lianhe to a meal together.

This kind of favor manipulation is also a common routine in Hollywood.

But Will Smith found an opportunity and expressed his gratitude to Zhang Nan.

"Zhang, at first I thought it was too easy for Li to agree to star in a supporting role without even negotiating the conditions. I just found out after asking around a little bit that you were the one who did the 'tampering' in the middle!" Will Smith told Zhang Nan enthusiastically Said quietly.

Zhang Nan didn't panic at all when he heard that Will Smith had snooped on Li Lian's film appointment. After all, before the movie "Kung Fu Dream" was released, no one knew that its box office would be so unexpected.

So Zhang Nan waved his hand and said: "Little Jaden calls me uncle. It's his first movie. As an uncle, I should support him."

Will Smith was a little touched by Zhang Nan's answer, "Zhang, if I become as old as Jack Cheng in the future, I will learn to follow his example and sign with your company."

Superstars like Will Smith, as long as they don't like Chenglong, like a lively life.

Retiring after one's Qi is also retiring after one's Qi, and it also has huge commercial value. Maybe life will be more comfortable than retreating without one's Qi.

If we can sign a contract with Zhang Nan's company by then, it will add more foundation to Zhang Nan's Longbow Film and Television.

But after Zhang Nan heard Will Smith's words, he laughed and scolded: "Go away, I helped your son make his debut, and you still want me to help solve my comeback, repaying kindness with revenge, right?"

The two of them were messing around and came to a private room of a high-end restaurant.

Li Lianlian was already sitting among them. When he saw Zhang Nan and Will Smith arriving, he quickly stood up and greeted them warmly.

All three of them were and are top figures in the industry.

Needless to say, in terms of human relations and language skills, they were all in place. Coupled with the mutual cooperation, the conversation was even more enjoyable.

But if you look carefully, you can see that among the three of them, Li Lianlian is a bit forced to smile.

After all, his current situation is the most embarrassing among the three.

So looking for an opportunity, Li Lianlian took advantage of the situation and asked Zhang Nan: "Director Zhang, what do you think of the mainland film and television market?"
