Chapter 641: Prepare to rip off

Mainland.

Longbow Film and Television City.

Zhang Nan was lying on the boss's chair behind the desk, while Old Luke was holding a stack of documents with excitement on his face.

"Zhang, [The Legend of Sauron 3] New Line Cinema quoted a fixed salary of 4.2 million U.S. dollars. Based on your current salary, they also added a threshold of Hollywood's million salary club, plus % Box office dividends and % of peripheral income, this price is very sincere, do you want to accept it?" Old Luke looked at the top film contract document and couldn't help but suggest.

"The price is very sincere, but the [Hobbit] series that New Line Cinema has cooperated with Warner Bros. Pictures this year is about to end. If there are no new top-level series to support the scene, New Line Cinema's stock price will definitely not be sustainable. Given the current situation, it will fall.

Old Luke, you know how bad New Line Cinema was in after the failure of "The Golden Compass". It was me who helped save New Line Cinema by cooperating with them on "The Legend of Sauron 2".

As a result, after I helped them overcome the difficulties, they turned around and cooperated with Warner Pictures, which was in a stalemate with me, on "The Hobbit" and threw "The Legend of Sauron 3" aside. As a result, I had no film appointments for the whole year. To shoot, we can only cooperate with MGM to make [006], so——

This sincerity is not yet in place, please wait. "Zhang Nan responded.

Old Luke: "..."

Such a Marvel Studios, which has huge potential and is still weak, is a very easy to rip off!

After all, Hollywood giants are so powerful that it’s hard to offend them too much, and there really haven’t been any particularly profitable projects in recent years that they can’t knock off.

Did you just provide help in times of need?

"No, wait until Disney Pictures puts the film contract for [Pirates of the Caribbean 6] in your hands. I think it will be a very generous film contract, and then you can follow Disney Pictures' film contract based on it. Talking to Marvel Studios, my expectation is that the number of guest films will be approximately doubled, with a price of million US dollars per minute," Zhang Nan said slowly.

Zhang Nan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard "Avengers 2" and Marvel Studios.

Directly quoting a fixed salary of 3.8 million U.S. dollars, and adding a % global box office dividend contract. It can be said that he used New Line Cinema as a stepping stone to raise his own net worth, and he will not be said to be taking advantage of the situation. That’s pretty good.

Tell the truth.

Old Luke heard this and continued to ask: "Put it off until [Transformers 3] is released?"

Old Luke nodded, turned to the next page of "Jurassic World 3" again, and continued reading: "Marvel Studios has also sent a guest appearance in [Avengers 2]. How to deal with it?"

In today's era, Hollywood giants are already a bit out of shape, but under his influence, Marvel Studios was not acquired by Disney, but was slowly rising.

But... we are a team, so you are right, we just gave him timely help, but New Line Cinema retaliated and gave him a hand.

"Put it off first," Zhang Nan replied.

"As for [Jurassic World 3], Universal Pictures has had a good relationship with Zhang Nan over the years. When Warner and Disney came out to oppose us, they remained silent. Now they have quoted US$4.1 million. A fixed remuneration, 2% of the global box office dividend, and % of the peripheral income." Old Luke turned the first page of "The Legend of Sauron " down and looked at the next page. content asked.

But Marvel Studios is different. A movie universe project has a box office of nearly 300 billion US dollars!

Rich as hell.

Zhang Nan thought about it for a while. His cooperation with Universal Pictures was quite good, and he also had the project of [Fast and Furious 7], and said: "Then let's stay silent for a while and wait for [Transformers 3]. ]’s results are out, let’s talk to Universal Pictures.”

Moreover, Robert Downey Jr. was able to get a salary of US$200 million per film from Marvel Studios until the very end. Zhang Nan felt that he still had a lot of room for improvement.

"also."

Old Luke was stunned. Not only was he shocked that Zhang Nan opened his mouth and made a cameo for 6 million US dollars per minute, but he was also shocked that Zhang Nan said that Disney Pictures would come back to cooperate with them in [Pirates of the Caribbean 6]. It was a bit unbelievable. Said: "No, can Disney ask us to film [Pirates of the Caribbean ] again?"

No way?

That's for sure.

Disney Pictures has an obsession with the [Pirates of the Caribbean] series. Disney Pictures in the original time and space, in order to launch the "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" series, helped Johnny Depp resolve the domestic violence divorce case with his wife.

You must know that at that time, North American female boxers were at their peak.

Faced with such a general trend, Warner Pictures gave in and gave up on Johnny Depp in "Fantastic Beasts 2". They would rather give Johnny Depp million US dollars in salary than help Johnny. Depp comes clean.

But Disney Pictures dared to help Johnny Depp and make a comeback.

Turn the former domestic abuser into a domestic abuser.

Tell the truth.

With Johnny Depp's epileptic state, the probability of domestic violence is low, but the probability of domestic violence is quite high.

Of course.

North America is a magical place, and the female stars are all very talented. Ma Rong can appear in mainland China, and it is not uncommon here in North America.

But no matter what the truth is.

For so many years, Johnny Depp has been determined to die as a domestic violence victim, which illustrates a truth. Johnny Depp personally has no ability to overturn this conclusion.

In the final reversal of the verdict, external forces must have intervened.

"Of course you will, and I think it won't be long before you get a call from your brother-in-law, but don't be soft-hearted just because of your sister!

Although people say that half of a sister-in-law's butt belongs to her brother-in-law, but you are the brother-in-law, and if your half-done butt sits in your brother-in-law's arms, the scene will be very ugly and I will want to vomit. "Zhang Nan responded affirmatively and also made a joke.

Old Luke listened to Zhang Nan's words and thought about it for a moment. As a result, he got goosebumps all over his body. He looked at Zhang Nan speechlessly and said: "Zhang, using such words to disgust people is a very bad behavior. Although he is indeed very... It works.”

"As long as it works, it's not me who's disgusting anyway."

……

North America.

5 month 16 day.

After [Godzilla], [The Amazing Spider-Man 2] and [Pirates of the Caribbean 5] ushered in another wave of challenges.

Yes.

A wave of challenges.

[X-Men: Days of Future Past] and [Edge of Tomorrow], two blockbusters were jointly released simultaneously.

This directly brought the single-day box office of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" over the three weekends to less than million US dollars.

It completely blew up the box office of [The Amazing Spider-Man 2] and [Pirates of the Caribbean 5].
