Chapter 632: The Sperm Worm Goes to the Brain

"Also, find me a first-class screenwriter who can grasp the essence of romance films and the rhythm of large-scale commercial films, and I want to tell a story. ”
"The same story?"
"Yes. ”
This is difficult to do, it seems to be the content of two directions, and it is not easy to come together.
Henry spoke out about his difficulties, such a top screenwriter is not easy to find.
Zhang Nan thought for a while and said, "Go find James Cameron, Terminator 2 seems to have something to do with him." Tell him that I have a movie for him to make in the future, and tell him that the total investment is at least more than 500 million US dollars, and the shooting cost may exceed 150 million.
If he's interested, I'll even let him write the script. ”
Would Cameron be interested?
Absolutely!
That guy is a money-burning machine, and when he hears the price, he has to run around.
As for whether he will want to leave the storyteller behind after listening to the story, there is no need to worry about this - if he dares to do that, even if Cameron is the terminator, Zhang Nan can easily throw him into the steelmaking furnace and disappear, and by the way, throw his entire family into the steelmaking furnace!
Word!
With a total investment of more than 500 million US dollars, it is not a yen, not a rupee, and not an Italian lira!
Henry Deboson's brain is a bit of a crash, it must be crazy to make a movie like this!
Seeing Henry's doubts, Zhang Nan was relieved of him, because Henry was a smart man, and he knew that he could only go one way to the dark if he had already boarded his big ship.
"I plan to start working on a Titanic next year and make a love story about that ship. ”
When Henry heard this, he paused for a while and said, "Boss, you are either a god or a madman!"
"Haha..."
Zhang Nan laughed.
"And which one do you think I am?"
Henri de Boson said in all seriousness: "A madman cannot build an empire." ”
......
According to the priority, Henry immediately mobilized his assistants to start acting, and Zhang Nan actually received a call from the agent two hours after instructing Henry to do something.
"Boss, I've reached out to Michael Clayton, who has a novel about dinosaurs that is almost finalized. One problem is that Universal has set its sights on the film rights to the novel and is negotiating a price. ”
"And what did he say?"
Michael said that the reserve price was $2 million, and all the copyrights except for the physical book were packaged and transferred to us, which was a friendly price for old friends, and Universal was still arguing on the price. ”
"Give it to him, to hell with that Universal company! Also, there's your 5-point bonus. ”
Henry Deborsen, on the other end of the line, immediately said, "Thank you, boss! Tomorrow before you get up, the signed contract will be in your living room." ”
It is necessary to act vigorously and resolutely, which will make Zhang Nan remember: it seems that when the original novel of "Jurassic Park" has not been published, Universal spent $2 million to buy its film and other ancillary rights.
As for the fact that Michael was able to tell Henry at a fixed price, and to negotiate with Universal Pictures, it shows that he really regarded Henry as an old friend - there was a personal old man in it, and even if it was his own job, Henry could not be allowed to do this in vain.
There is good news on Henry's side, and the leadership of Columbia Pictures will meet with Zhang Nan the day after tomorrow, and the senior management from Coca-Cola will also arrive secretly.
"It's good that I didn't explode for Lao Tzu at this juncture, otherwise yesterday's premiere would have become an ant!"
Zhang Nan was glad in his heart that the top management of the two companies had already withstood strong pressure from Washington -- this was simply a traitorous act!
The invasion of culture is terrible, and Americans understand it. What's even more terrifying is the loss of its own culture, although Washington can't stop business transactions, but if it really makes Washington lose face, it is estimated that Coca-Cola will not be too happy.
Under great pressure, when Washington notified Coca-Cola's high-level Wall Street "Sunshine Star" company that it had an intention to take over, Coca-Cola and Columbia Pictures executives were simply relieved.
It's good for someone to take over, and as for the price, it's easy to negotiate, and the negotiators on both sides will have to fight for hundreds of rounds.
The boss of "Sunshine Star" will be in Hollywood, so the people from Columbia Pictures will have to come to visit, instead of Zhang Nan going to the door.
I don't talk about acquisitions, it's just that everyone knows each other and becomes friends.
Then Coca-Cola also has to say that it can't let the rich man take the initiative to go to the Coca-Cola headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia first, right?
A little before dinner, Zhang Nan approached Ivan Khan and told him that he might be buying Columbia Pictures, which made the Bollywood executive's jaw drop in shock.
And then there's the ecstasy: if an old friend with a good relationship becomes the owner of one of Hollywood's seven major studios, that's also a good thing for Bollywood, at least one or two decent Indian films a year make it to the North American market.
Even if there are fewer screens and poor grades, it's a dollar!
"Mr. Allen, thank you very much for telling me this trade secret in advance! You can rest assured that this news will be known only to me in Bollywood before it is made public!"
It's a promise, and Ivan Khan knows it: if the news leaks, "The Three Fools" will fall victim to the newspaper - the media will not pay attention to the Indian film anymore.
will offend Mr. Allen to death, and a fool will say it.
Zhang Nan said with a smile: "In fact, it won't be kept secret for long, and when the attendance rate of "Three Fools" is weak, this news will be released, even if it is the first additional income of the acquisition." ”
As long as the media comes to the scene and brings a few words of "Three Fools" to the acquisition, this ride should still be able to send "Three Fools" to continue a long way.
As for now, judging from the box office reactions in various places, the results of "Three Fools" are not bad, and after the hype fermentation in the early stage of tomorrow and the next two days, there will even be room for growth.
The next day, Ivan Khan and others were supposed to leave Hollywood, and at dinner, Madhuri Dixit and 20 female dancers performed several Indian dances in groups and sections in the restaurant.
Many bodyguards have not seen their superb performances this time, and most of them are a feast for the eyes.
As for Zhang Nan......
There's only Madehuri in your eyes!
Madehuri Dixit's dancing, waist, and eyes are so seductive, and a few days ago Nicole was an ornament, and Jenny's old friends patronized it, and they were all holding back the fire.
In the past two days, Charlize Theron's little girl has often dangled in front of his eyes in pajamas, and last night he wanted people to find two young models to vent his anger.
There are more people who do this, and as soon as a man is rich, there are few good people, it is just a money transaction, and it has nothing to do with feelings.
But in the end, out of morality and safety considerations, I endured!
But now... Zhang Nan was a little hot, looking at the Hindustan diamonds on the small stage, there seemed to be flames in his eyes, and he thought that he would pull her away and eat her!
"Ivan, do you have any recent film appointments?"
Ivan Khan is a person who has come over and has a clear eye, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "There is not much difference between having or not, I want to prevent her from staying in the United States for a while to learn the advanced experience of Hollywood, which will depend on Mr. Allen to take care of." ”
Zhang Nan laughed, it was simple to talk to someone who understood.
