Chapter 604 [The Wandering Earth] Shocking guest list

finally.

Zhang Nan was not persuaded by Teng Huatao and Guo Fan, but by the construction company that built the "Wandering Earth" studio and the landscape company that set up the scenes. They were convinced by the guarantee of mainland efficiency.

no way.

The reborn Zhang Nan really knows that as long as the money is available, mainland companies can really take into account the speed, efficiency and quality.

"Okay, the start-up time is scheduled for the end of 2013. You two keep an eye on it while I go call someone."

Since there is no problem with the time for project preparation, he really needs to start planning who to find guest appearances.

After all, his version of "The Wandering Earth 1" is the plot of the original "The Wandering Earth 2".

Digital Life Project, Wandering Earth Project, Artificial Intelligence Project... In the movie, just what Zhang Nan discovered, there are three plot lines, either overt or covert, and there are quite a lot of characters in them.

"Who do you plan to call for guest appearances?" Teng Huatuo asked Zhang Nan with some anxiety and excitement.

Guo Fan on the side also had similar emotions.

Zhang Nan knew why the two of them had such an attitude. After all, they were suddenly able to cooperate with many of the world's top stars, which would be the case for everyone.

“In the beginning of the digital life plot, I plan to find Aamir Khan from [Three Idiots in Bollywood] to play the role.

Then how about letting Robert Downey Jr. play the foreigner sitting between the hero and heroine in the space elevator?

What about the subsequent trio that destroyed the space elevator, Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel and Julia Roberts from the [Fast and Furious] series?

There is also the official person in charge of the North American side of the movie. When I go to the premiere of [Thor 2] next, I will make a guest appearance on the set of [Captain America 2]. I can almost persuade Captain America to play this role.

correct.

What do you think about letting Zhou Xingxing play the funny role of the protagonist's pilot in the movie?

And Nicolas Cage, Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, I can pull them all.

If the number of people is not enough, I can also temporarily call over my artists such as Chenglong, Wu Jin, Zhou Jie, and Liu Tianwang, or great directors such as Spielberg, George Lucas, and James Cameron. Make up the numbers.

If it really doesn't work, I have a lot of people in my family, including Li Jiaxin, Ye Quanzhen, Nakamori Akina, Ishihara Satomi, Ayase Haruka, Xiao Jew... As long as they are not pregnant, or are pregnant and have finished their confinement, When I give an order, no one dares to refuse. "

Zhang Nan told Teng Huatao and Guo Fan about some of the candidates he had already decided on.

But I found that Teng Huatao and Guo Fan's expressions didn't seem to be very shocking, so I added more materials one after another.

Finally, Zhang Nan discovered that the two of them were not unresponsive.

But the reaction was too great. When Zhang Nan opened his mouth and said Robert Downey Jr.'s name, he couldn't hold himself tight.

After all, Robert Downey Jr. is currently one of the hottest movie stars in the world.

There's no way it won't be popular.

Being able to single-handedly star in a movie with a global box office of 1.2 billion US dollars, counting forward, it is slightly inferior to Leonardo DiCaprio's "Titanic".

But Leonardo DiCaprio only had one film "Titanic", while Robert Downey Jr. also had "Avengers 3" with a global box office of US$1 billion in "Iron Man ".

If we really use a sophisticated box office calculation method to calculate a wave.

The cumulative box office of Robert Downey Jr. in the past two years during his peak period is much higher than that of "Titanic", the film produced by Leonardo DiCaprio during his peak period.

……

Early November.

After Zhang Nan completely finished the work on [Transformers 3], he followed the progress of [The Wandering Earth 1] for a while.

As the premiere of [Thor 2] on November 11th was approaching, Zhang Nan once again traveled from the mainland to North America.

This trip, Zhang Nan not only has to attend the premiere of [Thor 2], but also has to make a cameo in [Captain America 2]. At the same time, she also has to discuss the Christmas release of [Harry Potter and Voldemort 2] with Warner Pictures. release time.

So I have to leave early.

But the real thing to deal with is to first confirm the release date of [Voldemort 2] with Warner, then make a guest appearance in [Captain America 2], and finally participate in [Thor 2]. …

A conference room at Warner Pictures headquarters.

Warner Pictures has been in constant turmoil during this period. After all, the process of changing directors is always accompanied by some chaos.

Fortunately, the new president Jack Emmerich's methods are still in place. After spending some time and cost, he finally completed the control of power.

As for [Voldemort 2], Jack Emmerich, the new president, announced that he officially controls Warner's core projects.

After all, the main series of [Harry Potter] has ended, and other [Harry Potter] spin-off series have not yet had a clue.

Then the [Batman] series ended, director Nolan was still separated, and the new [Superman] IP series failed to achieve its original goals...

In short, the only project currently used by Warner Pictures that can be regarded as the world's top series is the "Voldemort" series starring Zhang Nan.

Warner doesn’t want to ignore [Voldemort 2].

The only problem is.

When the previous Warner president resigned, he received a lot of kickbacks on the [Voldemort 2] project.

So much so that the production cost of the entire "Voldemort 2" has reached a high US$7 million.

In the box office sharing contract, the theater chain took 30% as usual, Zhang Nan took 58% alone, and only 18% was left to Warner.

In other words.

For every billion U.S. dollars in box office revenue of [Voldemort 2], Warner only received billion.

At the same time, in the peripheral income sharing contract, Zhang Nan received 74%, while Warner Pictures only received 26%.

Calculated based on the box office revenue of one billion U.S. dollars, the peripheral income of "Voldemort 2" is almost one billion U.S. dollars, of which % is million U.S. dollars.

Adding 1.88 to 260 million, it's only 440 million. There is still a gap of 260 million US dollars before the capital is recovered.

If we also include the increase in the stock price of Warner Pictures by [Voldemort 2], Warner Pictures will gain benefits through the financial market.

It is estimated that Warner Pictures will eventually make a profit of US$2- million from the [Voldemort ] project.

But in the extremely risky film and television industry, profits are less than 100%, especially when Warner Pictures is a Hollywood giant.

This is really a bit insulting.

Jack Emmerich, the new president of Warner Pictures, after calculating the accounts of [Voldemort 2], felt the position of president under his butt, and also understood why Warner Pictures had to take the lead and Zhang Nan was deadlocked.

Without it.

Because Zhang Nan can at least easily earn nearly two billion US dollars in the "Voldemort 2" project, which is four to five times that of Warner Pictures, the producer and investor of the project.

Anyone else would have hot, red, and sore eyes.

Of course.

Of Zhang Nan's nearly two billion U.S. dollars in income, 80 million U.S. dollars were kickbacks from the old president. Zhang Nan's actual income did not reach two billion U.S. dollars.

but……

"As long as this film can pay back the money, after all, it was this film that made it easy to get rid of the old president. Let's use the profits from this film to sit in the position of president." Jack Emmerich comforted himself in this way.
