How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 607 The increasingly popular [Wandering Earth]

11 month 5 number.

[Thor 2] premiered as scheduled at the Chinese Grand Theater on Hollywood Boulevard.

After walking on the red carpet, Zhang Nan found an opportunity to tell Chris Hemsworth, the actor who plays Thor, the previous words he used to talk about Captain America in a different way.

good results.

Chris Hemsworth immediately decided to make a friendly guest appearance as a guest star for Zhang Nan in "The Wandering Earth".

As for the pay?

They say it's just a friendly guest appearance, so how can I ask for money?

The law of love and money is applicable everywhere.

Moreover, for this kind of friendly guest film contract, even if the money is really negotiated, in the case of a few scenes and a short shooting period, it will only cost hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After all, apart from Zhang Nan, there is no other person who can get millions or tens of millions of dollars in salary for a few minutes of guest appearance. There is no other one in the world.

Even with the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan in the future, and Iron Man Robert Downey Jr.'s rise, at the peak of the third phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he only took 1000 million in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" in fifteen minutes. US dollars, the total is only US dollars per minute.

Compared with Zhang Nan's starting income of 1500 million US dollars per minute, if the movie box office and peripheral sales are good, Zhang Nan can earn another to million US dollars in income. The disparity is huge.

And this amount of money, which is hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, is simply negligible for the celebrities who are valued by Zhang Nan and invited to guest stars in "The Wandering Earth".

Then after the premiere of [Thor 2], Zhang Nan went around in Hollywood, Europe and the United States.

Because this is Zhang Nan's first large-scale search for people to guest star in his movie since "Survival of the Day".

And compared with the time of "Survival of the Doomsday 1", Zhang Nan only recruited a group of directors. Now in "The Wandering Earth 1", Zhang Nan is both a director and an actor.

So the effect is amazing.

The top two actors are Tom and Will.

Needless to say, Tom Cruise and Will Smith.

The "Mission: Impossible 4" series was started by Zhang Nan's investment and Zhou Xuan at Paramount. Zhang Nan also contributed a lot to the debut film "Kung Fu Dream" by his other son (although It's said that he made a lot of money, but in Will Smith's opinion, Zhang Nan's intentions were in place).

Neither of them asked Zhang Nan to call him personally. They took the initiative to say hello to Zhang Nan after hearing the news.

To sum it up, it means one thing: always be prepared.

But what Zhang Nan didn't expect was that Tom Hanks, who had no friendship with him but had only briefly collaborated with him as a guest star in "Saving Private Ryan" many years ago, also actively expressed his positive wishes.

This made Zhang Nan a little shocked, but Zhang Nan also responded enthusiastically, otherwise it would be too rude.

Then comes Little Plum.

There is no doubt that Zhang Nan had helped Xiao Lizi in [The Wolf of Wall Street] before. It was impossible for Xiao Lizi to refuse Zhang Nan's invitation this time.

And then there’s Nicolas Cage.

It is even more impossible for Nicolas Cage to reject Zhang Nan. After all, his previous "National Treasure" series asked Zhang Nan to make a guest appearance, but Zhang Nan did not frown at all, and the two were good friends who had known each other for a long time.

Follow-ups include Matt Damon, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr....

In short, no one who has had friendship with Zhang Nan will refuse when Zhang Nan calls.

It has even attracted many superstars with whom they have no friendship, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Denzel Washington...etc.

Regarding the participation of these people, Zhang Nan naturally accepted them all without missing a single one.

Of course. This is for a superstar in terms of acting.

As for directing, Zhang Nan just doesn't want to be a top director.

After all, the directing industry itself is a behind-the-scenes worker, not very exposed, and has a relatively average reputation.

Only the top directors, such as Spielberg and George Lucas, have either continued to be great for decades, or have a film that has seriously affected the history of global film and can survive on one film. Ability to compete with superstars for exposure.

Even James Cameron's exposure is less interesting compared to the two above.

Because although James Cameron's masterpieces have exploded one after another, the first was "Titanic" with a global box office of 1.8 billion US dollars, and the second was "Avatar" with a global box office of more than 2 billion US dollars.

But the speed of James Cameron's directing is really touching.

However, Zhang Nan also brought in James Cameron this time. Later, Zhang Nan also invited Roland Emmerich, Peter Jackson, Luc Besson... and other well-known directors who have worked with him and have good relationships with him.

The only thing that made Zhang Nan feel a little numb was that the directors he had worked with before on "The Matrix" - the Wachowski brothers, no, they had already become the Wachowski sisters.

Fortunately, in the end, Zhang Nan made the decision not to be contaminated by these two characters whose temperaments were a bit too extreme.

Zhang Nan's actions in Hollywood can be said to have made the North American entertainment media very happy. They are used to Zhang Nan's actions that stir up troubles.

It’s interesting!

Then, with the continuous reports of many media, the popularity and popularity of the [Wandering Earth] project began to spread in North America and even around the world.

Without it.

After all, there are so many superstars and directors, although some are outdated and some are no longer popular.

But each person's past glory is still very topical, and although each person's individual fans are not many, it would be terrifying if they were gathered together.

The reason why Marvel Studios' superhero series is successful is not because it created a few heroes who are fans of the franchise and then gathered them together to create a greater sensation.

Zhang Nan's approach was a clever move.

It directly skips the process of Marvel Studios investing capital in the early stage to produce movie characters and gathering fans. It takes ready-made film and television stars and directors and brings them together to create a sensation.

Of course.

Only Zhang Nan can pull this off, no one else can, not even Hollywood giants.

Because Zhang Nan has been in the industry for many years, she has accumulated a huge network of favors and relationships.

Moreover, Zhang Nan’s creativity and popularity in the film and television industry have not cooled down so far. It can be said that she has not been laid off for many years. And judging from Zhang Nan’s current situation, her career will become more and more prosperous. It is estimated that in the future In more than ten years, there will be no situation where people leave and their tea is cold.

Those superstars and directors don't care about favors. In order to enjoy Zhang Nan's popularity for their own future movies, they have to pay a visit to save face.

Except for Zhang Nan, no one else has such a big face.

Although Hollywood giants rely on years of project production, they have good cooperative relationships with many superstars and directors.

But how can there be such a thing as friendship between an individual and a company?

If you want me to make a guest appearance, fine!

Give money.

These people don't care about personal relationships between good friends and colleagues, a small favor, or a salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But when you are working, let alone a salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars, you have to calculate every penny.
