How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 572 Cameo [Thor 2]

"After meeting Xiao Li Zi once, he was chatting with me when he had nothing to do. After all, the two of them have worked together and filmed scenes as male and female protagonists. There must be some affection, and naturally there will be some attention. Yes." Zhang Nan explained.

Old Luke nodded slightly after being persuaded, "What do you think about this matter?"

Zhang Nan was silent for a moment.

One is high-quality tool man Christopher McQuarrie, and behind him are the interests of Tom Cruise and the [Mission: Impossible] series.

The other is Sam Mendes, who is very good personally and has a very wild approach. He is relieved that the [006] series is in his hands.

So...who should I choose?

Adults naturally want both.

Zhang Nan has planned to set up a multi-director production for [006], which will not only facilitate mutual control, but also facilitate him to recruit some talented directors from the mainland in the future, such as Guo Fan of "The Wandering Earth", Shen Shen of "Desperate"... Wait for someone to stuff it inside.

Although he had made up his mind, on the surface, Zhang Nan still hesitated before saying to Old Luke: "Actually, I probably have a candidate, the assistant director recommended by Tom Cruise, but the newcomer has some qualifications. shallow.

Now that your elder sister has spoken, and I still remember that your elder sister also indirectly helped me when I first debuted, then this matter..."

Zhang Nan paused for a moment, calmed down Old Luke's mood, and then said again: "How about a series of movies co-directed by two directors?

It just so happens that we can restrain each other to prevent one party from becoming too big and causing my control over the crew to decrease.

When Warner Pictures was in a stalemate with me before, there were so many series directors in the hands of Hollywood giants. If only one of them could stand up for me, my situation at that time would not be so dignified.

Now [006] if there can be two directors, then if the situation like before happens again, I can definitely reveal something interesting. If there is competition, the two people will definitely respond positively, and they can be regarded as a back-up man. Okay, how about it? "

After hearing Zhang Nan's answer, Old Luke was stunned. After a long time, he murmured: "Zhang, it has to be you! No wonder you, an outsider in Hollywood, can do better than all the locals in North America. Your personal strength On the one hand, this flexibility of thinking is also unacceptable!”

"Haha, keep a low profile. Don't publicize this kind of thing everywhere, it will make me embarrassed."

Zhang Nan waved his hand and continued to give instructions: "But when you reply to your sister, don't tell me what I said. Just say that I originally liked the person from Tom Cruise, and it was you who worked hard. Fighting for it, I thought about my elder sister’s help when I debuted, and agreed after thinking about it for a long time. I came up with this model specially.

Of course, if Tom Cruise starts to ask questions, you can adjust your words and put on a show. A bowl of water will be the same! "

If we say that Old Luke's previous praise of Zhang Nan was just flattery.

Seeing that Zhang Nan was not satisfied with getting two favors with one thing, but continued to perform steadily, and pulled out some favors for each favor, Old Luke was completely convinced.

But at this time, Old Luke was at a loss for words and could not express himself in words. He could only raise his thumb and nodded: "I know how to do it."

……

Maybe it’s because [006]’s midnight premiere in mainland China was better, Sony Columbia has also arranged a similar operation for [007: Skyfall] this time.

The result~

It can be said that it is not bad.

It grossed US$220 million at the box office in North America, which is almost a dozen times greater than the US$007 million that Skyfall made on its first day in North America.

Compared with [006], which had a box office of more than million yuan at the time and the premiere performance of more than million yuan at the box office on the first day, it is not much different.

On the second day after its release, the single-day box office of "Skyfall" bucked the trend and rose to $007 million.

Finally, combined with the US$2400.1 million box office on the third day of release, [007: Skyfall] earned over US$ million in box office in North America in its first week of release.

It clears away the gloom brought to spy movies by the failure of the previous "The Bourne Supremacy".

Because of the first-week performance of "Skyfall", it is basically certain that the total box office of "Skyfall" in North America will start at US$007 million, and is very likely to reach US$007 million.

At the same time, judging from the past performance of the [007] series around the world, the total global box office is a figure worth looking forward to.

For a while.

The weight of Zhang Nan's cameo has become even heavier. Of course.

Such a situation also makes Universal Pictures and Matt Damon more and more serious about inviting Zhang Nan to join "The Bourne Supremacy".

……

Inside the Marvel Studios soundstage.

[Thor 2] crew.

Originally Zhang Nan was scheduled to make a guest appearance on the set of "Iron Man 3". After all, he has a closer relationship with Robert Downey Jr.

But now that Robert Downey Jr. has been asked to help on the set of [Voldemort 2], naturally he can only come to [Thor 2] first, and then wait until next month to attend the premiere of [The Hobbit 1] After the ceremony, we went to [Iron Man 3].

Seeing Chris Hemsworth playing Thor again, Zhang Nan could clearly see the light in the young man's eyes.

"Why are you so happy?" Zhang Nan asked teasingly.

Chris Hemsworth didn't hide it, grinning and said: "Marvel gave me a salary increase."

After being reminded by Chris Hemsworth, Zhang Nan also realized that the salary for this guy didn't seem to be very high, just hundreds of thousands of dollars. It can be said that he was being squeezed by Marvel Studios. .

Of course.

Marvel Studios doesn't just treat him like this, it's the same for everyone except those who can't be exploited.

However, this group of people can come to star in Marvel movies and participate in Marvel's movie universe project, and they are all because of their fame, and they are mentally prepared for this.

After all, as mainland factory owners often say: If you don’t do it, others will.

Marvel Studios also made similar remarks.

"How much has it increased?" Zhang Nan asked curiously.

"Eight million US dollars, and if the movie box office meets expectations, I can still get box office dividends." Chris Hemsworth said very satisfied.

Zhang Nan's face stiffened a little when he heard this.

But looking back at the original time and space, after experiencing "Avengers 2" and other movies, he only received a salary of 3 million US dollars in "Thor 1500" and some box office dividends.

That’s why I understand.

But what Zhang Nan understands better is why Iron Man disappears when he snaps his fingers, and Captain America never comes back when he plays with a time machine, but Thor is able to survive despite eating too much, overeating, and having an irregular schedule. After "Avengers 4" is over, continue filming "Thor 4".

Without it.

Chris Hemsworth is indeed an easily satisfied star in terms of salary.

Don't worry whether it's just a person who knows the current affairs and pretends to be a hero, but people have indeed given this attitude and impression to Marvel Studios.

Then naturally people can stay on the Marvel Studios ship.

"Act well, I believe you will have a place in the 20 million dollar club one day." Zhang Nan encouraged.

This encouragement is not nonsense from Zhang Nan. Chris Hemsworth will indeed receive this salary in the future. After all, Marvel Studios also needs to set an example for other collaborators.

Chris Hemsworth was very encouraged after hearing what Zhang Nan said.
