Chapter 651: Dealing with the Seven Giants of Hollywood

[Avengers 2] crew.

When the crew of [Star Wars 7] negotiated a follow-up cooperation with Disney Pictures on the [Pirates of the Caribbean] series, Zhang Nan asked Old Luke to let the news out.

And it’s the kind of rumor that’s directed at Marvel Studios.

as predicted.

Within a few days, Marvel Studios couldn't bear it anymore and sent Zhang Nan a sincere offer to guest star in Avengers 2.

no way.

[Pirates of the Caribbean 5], due to the absence of the starring role of Zhang Nan, directly raised more than million at the box office, slipping from the top series of the global billion-dollar box office club. This result really frightened Marvel Studios. It’s a panic that far exceeds that of Disney Studios.

Without it.

Even if the [Pirates of the Caribbean] series completely collapses, for Disney Pictures, it will just be a series that follows the trend. At most, it will be a serious injury or death.

"No!"

Because the combined salary of many of them from a single film is quite different from Zhang Nan's salary for a one-minute cameo.

It was okay just once, and it was still acceptable. Then he asked casually: "Then the salary from now on will return to the original value, 15 million per minute?"

Regarding Zhang Nan's request, Marvel Studios, which had no bargaining power, had no choice but to agree.

Therefore, Marvel Studios directly increased the unit price of Zhang Nan's guest appearance to 20 million US dollars per minute.

Twenty million US dollars per minute is fine, but that’s the guest salary in the future. For the guest star salary in [Avengers 2], I want million US dollars per minute.

Seeing that Marvel Studios was so sincere, Zhang Nan unceremoniously accepted Marvel Studios' sincerity, and spoke loudly again.

Because he had heard that Zhang Nan had the idea of ​​getting a salary of 30 million US dollars per minute from Marvel Studios, but he just thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect that it would actually come true now.

So when he was free, Robert Downey Jr. came close to Zhang Nan and couldn't help but murmured: "Zhang, I really didn't expect that you can really ask for a salary at this price."

On this trip, he was ordered by Zhang Nan to negotiate with several Hollywood giants about the global distribution and promotion of "The Wandering Earth 1".

Zhang Nan smiled implicitly when he heard this, and explained: "It's just this time, and the money given to me by Marvel Studios has not changed. After raising the unit price, they also reduced my guest time by half. If I really Taking into account the box office share and peripheral income, the final total income may be reduced a lot."

This result was not bad for Zhang Nan, it was just a routine punishment to show off his power, but for the other actors in "Avengers 2", the impact was a bit too big.

And just when Robert Downey Jr. was silent, Old Luke walked over from outside.

Who told them to have bad thoughts in their minds before?

Robert Downey Jr. fell silent after hearing Zhang Nan's answer.

But the most shocking thing here is Robert Downey Jr.

Zhang Nan shook his head and held out two fingers, "It's increased by five million. Let's round it up, it's twenty million US dollars. After all, after experiencing [Pirates of the Caribbean 5], although I won, the risk is still high." If you have gained a lot, there should be some benefits and progress.”

After hearing Zhang Nan's answer, Robert Downey Jr. felt a little more relaxed.

But Marvel Studios relies on the movie universe to gain a foothold in Hollywood, and the "Avengers" series is the top priority in the movie universe plan. If anything goes wrong, it is a result that Marvel Studios cannot afford.

"Universal, Warner, MGM, and Paramount have all negotiated, but we're a bit more chatty about 20th Century Fox and Sony Columbia. One wants you to push James Cameron, and the other wants to get involved with you. A new series of cooperation." Old Luke said.

This result did not exceed Zhang Nan's expectations.

After all, Universal Pictures has just collaborated with him on [Fast and Furious 7], and there will be [Jurassic World 3] projects in the future. There was no reason why he should not readily agree to a matter of global distribution and publicity in his hometown, but instead he hesitated to offend him.

Then Warner, MGM, and Paramount readily agreed and the situation was similar.

[Voldemort] series, [Transformers] series and [006] digital agent spy series, after [Pirates of the Caribbean 5], Zhang Nan pinched the weaknesses of these three companies. When his demands were not excessive, they did not The law is not soft.

Although 20th Century Fox has the "Avatar" series starring Zhang Nan, the core creator of the entire series is still James Cameron.

Sony Columbia has not collaborated with Zhang Nan on any top series.

So these two families are bound to be a bit fickle and long-winded.

But in the case of Disney, Warner, Universal, Paramount, and MGM, these five companies are all dealt with by Zhang Nan, and these two companies will not really be too coy or nagging.

Just install it in a decent manner and have a step to get down, and that's it.

However, it can be seen from the attitudes of these two companies that Sony Colombia wants to have a better attitude towards Zhang Nan.

They all have a strong desire to take the initiative to be pinched by Zhang Nan.

Then satisfy him.

Zhang Nan thought of the new version of the [Spider-Man] series from Marvel Studios.

After all, if nothing else goes wrong, "The Amazing Spider-Man" will soon have two unfinished films, and Sony Columbia's Spider-Man copyright will usher in another window period.

Then a few years later, in 2017, Marvel Studios saw Robert Downey Jr.'s appetite getting bigger and bigger, and it became a little bit unbearable, but Star-Lord, Thor and Captain America couldn't stand it, so they came up with another plan. The idea of ​​cultivating a new generation of main actors came up with the idea of ​​working with Sony Columbia to share the benefits of the fourth phase of the movie universe plan, a new version of "Spider-Man" starring Holland.

If that's the case, it's better to let him do it as a favor in advance.

Of course.

These are not things to consider and operate when [The Wandering Earth 1] is about to be released.

"As long as everything is settled, you can't relax now and prepare to go back to Asia with me." Zhang Nan gave Old Luke another task.

Old Luke said speechlessly: "You can't do anything for me! Moreover, the mainland is your base camp, why do you need to talk?"

"The president of Huaying will be replaced at the end of this year. Lao Han will leave soon. The handover work has definitely begun. This trip will not only make Lao Han leave in a glorious way, but also use the excuse to establish a relationship with Huaying. Meet the new CEO.

But if you feel tired, you don’t have to go to the mainland. You can go to South Korea or Neon. Anyway, you have to go to the film market there to see the situation personally. You may get better results if you go there. "Zhang Nan first explained and then suggested.

Old Luke thought for a while and decided: "I choose to go to Neon and Korea twice."

The reason why Old Luke made this decision is very simple. The film and television circles in Neon and South Korea were basically completely impressed by Zhang Nan. If he went around for two turns, it was really just two turns. There was nothing hard about it.

"As you like."

After the other party said something to Old Luke, Zhang Nan turned to look at Robert Downey Jr. and reminded him: "I put the world premiere of [The Wandering Earth] at Longbow Studios, and you have a cameo, remember Come."

Robert Downey Jr. didn't want to travel all the way and said hesitantly: "There again, it's too far!"

"I flew all the way from Asia to North America to help you shoot Sherlock Holmes, and you still..." Zhang Nan said pretending to be angry.

Robert Downey Jr. felt weak and quickly said softly, "I'll definitely be there on time. No, I'll be there early."
