Chapter 752 [Transformers 4] Spielberg: Show off or complain?

Under the influence of Tom Cruise's timely phone call, Zhang Nan secured a relatively good screening schedule for "Jurassic World 4" in the mainland.

Then Zhang Nan returned to Longbow Film and Television City for a while, and after caring for the Girls' Generation girls who were all very affectionate and about to unload the goods in September, she directly started preparations for the mainland premiere of "Transformers 4" again. At work.

no way.

This wave started with eight babies.

If you are very lucky, if they are all twins, there will be sixteen.

If your luck is a bit unlucky, and if all of them are triplets or quadruplets, then it will be twenty-four, thirty-two...etc. a multiple of eight.

Zhang Nan was a little dismissive when she heard Robert Downey Jr. talking about not having enough money after giving birth to his little daughter.

But when he really felt the real pressure, he felt a little bit more sympathetic.

……

Thor Chris was hampered by the reshoots of "Thor 3" which will be released in October, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was hampered by the filming of "Skyscraper", and James Cameron was unable to lay eggs for a long time (not filming "Avatar"). 2]), was forced to be a producer in the [Alita] project by th Century Fox Pictures...

Tom Cruise doesn't have much of a problem with this.

Fortunately, [Transformers 4] has gained enough popularity through the accumulation of the previous trilogy and the global box office of nearly billion US dollars. The stardom of the premiere is just the icing on the cake and does not affect it. What's the big picture.

[New Mummy] I hit the street in the first week. I was already so bad that I couldn’t get any worse. It didn’t matter if I was crushed or not.

For example, Spielberg and George Lucas, one of them was busy working on "Ready Player One" and the other was busy working as a screenwriter on "A Star Wars Story: Solo", but they came together hand in hand.

It’s also the week after the release of “The Mummy” starring Tom Criss.

But accidents happen frequently.

Zhang Nan was surprised at first and said happily: "If you are really too busy, you don't have to come in person."

After Spielberg and George Lucas heard this, they naturally responded with a scene, and then they met with each other.

Then Zhang Nan followed the past practice and began to send invitations to guests from all over the world.

[Transformers 4] held its world premiere at Longbow Studios in Mainland China.

Of course.

In short, due to various reasons, the international stardom of this premiere of [Transformers 4] was a bit stretched.

Friday, January 6th.

First of all, Dutch brother is busy with [Spider-Man: Homecoming], which will be released at the end of June, and the time is too close to come.

And not everyone was involved.

Even if it weren't for the fact that he was preparing for [Mission: Impossible 6] and the premiere of [Transformers 4] was held in a very far away mainland of North America, he would probably have to participate in this round.

Then there is Christopher Nolan, who is also absent because he also has to promote his new film "Dunkirk", which will be released in mid-July.

Before Spider-Man: Homecoming was released, this guy had no reputation at all, and it would be useless if he came. He was just a red carpet presence.

Without it.

"Zhang, actually I am here not only for the invitation to the premiere of [Transformers 4], but also for the preparation of [Ready Player One], and I have encountered some difficulties." Spielberg was the first to speak.

Zhang Nan is not surprised at all that the filming of "Ready Player One" encountered difficulties. After all, there are too many IP images in this project.

But Zhang Nan remembered that the original "Ready Player One" was successfully released, which means that all difficulties have been solved. And now that people are traveling across the ocean to attend the premiere, Zhang Nan can only continue: "What's the problem? Can I help?"

"You can definitely do it," Spielberg affirmed.

Zhang Nan: "..." You really have confidence in me!

Then Spielberg begins to describe the difficulties.

The specific difficulty is also very simple, just one - Neon's Tsuburaya Film and Television Company is unwilling to let Ultraman appear in "Ready Player One", no matter how much money is paid.

It was also because of Spielberg's narration that Zhang Nan realized that Ultraman did not appear in "Ready Player One" in the original time and space, and the last one transformed was Gundam.

But Gundam and Transformation don’t match up either!
And although mechas are men's romance, tight leather jackets are what men pursue even more.

Especially the tight-fitting leather jackets of male characters. Currently, only Ultraman in the world has gained the love of most men, and he loves it very much.

So much so that the neon romance action film industry, which likes to play around with all kinds of tight-fitting leather IPs, only dares to play tricks on tight-fitting leather characters such as the female version of Spider-Man, but rarely does anything about Ultraman's tight-fitting leather suit. hands and feet.

This is not about love that leads to physical resistance. Neon Love Action Film Production Company will never let go of a popular IP like Ultraman.

"Is it because your price is not high enough?" Zhang Nan asked deliberately and tentatively.

Spielberg shook his head: "I'm asking for millions of dollars a minute."

to be frank.

The copyright fee of millions of dollars per minute is indeed not low.

After all, this kind of copyright income is pure profit, and movie projects like "Ready Player One" will also bring a lot of popularity to the copyright owner's IP after it is released. It is a win-win situation.

but……

Neon Enterprise specializes in restricting others when it has indispensable conditions.

For example, giants like Sony and Microsoft were once disgusted by Nintendo in the gaming industry.

"I can negotiate, but whether this matter is negotiated or not, I want one percent of [Ready Player One] global box office dividends." Zhang Nan replied.

"..."

Spielberg was a little confused after hearing Zhang Nan's tone.

Does it cost money to talk about Chengdu?
Zhang, you are going too far.

"I can't help it. Another wave of babies is coming soon. I don't care about the money for milk powder, schooling, and various tutoring classes. I don't care about one or two. I can afford five or six."

But when I was in my teens and 20s, I really couldn’t stand it anymore. Otherwise, you would think that I used to make two films at most a year, and rarely accepted guest film appointments. Why did I suddenly start to take on roles like crazy in the past two years? "Zhang Nan saw Spielberg's psychological activities and complained.

"..."

Spielberg remained speechless.

Because he couldn't tell whether Zhang Nan was complaining to him or showing off to him.

After a long time.

Spielberg nodded.

After seeing that Spielberg and Ready Player One were taken care of, Zhang Nan turned his attention to George Lucas, who came with Spielberg.
