On the afternoon of August 5th, after "Uncle Wolf" Hugh Jackman expressed his intention to talk to Lin Han about the X-Men, Lin Han said hello to Annie, and then invited "Uncle Wolf" Hugh Jackman to the port of WwWlā

The old port of Marseille is undoubtedly beautiful, a blue harbour with small fishing boats and sailboats moored on the shore, and people look relaxed or working or relaxing, and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

The Château de Saint-John and the Château de Saint-Nicolas, built in the time of Louis XIV, have guarded the port of Marseille for centuries like two loyal knights.

Lin Han first chatted with Hugh Jackman about some interesting things, and then found a small shop, ordered desserts and drinks, and then got down to business.

"Speaking of 'X-Men', I watched this movie, it was very good, and director Brian made this movie full of flowing beauty and poetic imagination!" Lin Han said with a smile, and then silently added in his heart: I saw it in my previous life.

For Lin Han's praise, Hugh Jackman bowed slightly and said, "Director Brian must like your evaluation very much!" ”

Hugh Jackman, now 34 years old, is in the prime of his most energetic life, with perfect muscles on display under a simple white tank top and shirt.

There are two types of muscles, one is a muscle like Arnold Schwarzenegger, which is swollen like a steamed bun, and it looks extremely powerful, which is a bulky type of muscle.

The other is like "Uncle Wolf" Hugh Jackman, his muscles are not very big, because he trains muscles and bones, the muscles are not big, but they are full of explosive power, this is a musculoskeletal type of muscle, similar to the famous Bruce Lee, or Chinese martial arts are all muscles, pay attention to speed and flexibility.

Regardless of his past or present life, Lin Han has practiced this type of muscle, and his learning idol is "Uncle Wolf" Hugh Jackman.

Hugh Jackman didn't start out as a Hollywood star, before X-Men, he was a TV actor and opera singer, starring in the 1994 TV series Corelli, and in 1999, he was nominated for the British "Oliver Award" for the best opera singer of the year for his American opera "Oklahoma".

In 2000, Hugh Jackman became a Hollywood star by playing the role of "Wolverine" in "X-Men".

Hugh Jackman is a very modest man, and his words and conversations are full of the smell of mature men, which makes Lin Han feel a sense of sympathy.

For Lin Han, Hugh Jackman also feels the same way, although this feeling is a little strange, but Hugh Jackman finally attributed it to Lin Han's youth, old age, genius, and there is always something different.

Not to mention the knowledge about mutants that he came into contact with in "X-Men", let's just say that this real world also has many outstanding characters, all of whom are legends and myths, or miraculous existences.

Like Lin Han, who is just a little demon, is naturally within the scope of Hugh Jackman's acceptance, and he also feels normal about Lin Han's entry into the Western music scene, because in Hollywood, crossover is a common thing, maybe this person is a director during the day, but at night, he may lead a heavy metal band to roar in the bar!

Hugh Jackman and Lin Han chatted very speculatively, so to speak, the magnetic fields of the two are very compatible, if it is two men and women, it is very likely to develop into a couple, of course, now they are both real men, so, at this moment, the two have become brothers.

After half a ring, Hugh Jackman finally said what he wanted to do this time: "You know, "X-Men 2" is about to be released, and the filming of "X-Men 3" is also on the schedule, but because the budget is too large, the company's funds are a little tight, so ......" Hugh Jackman smiled embarrassedly.

Lin Han shook his head and said empathetically: "I like "X-Men very much", and I don't praise it at all, it will open a golden age of superhero movies!" For a series of films like this, I would like to see it continue to play out those moving legends on the silver screen! ”

In the end, Lin Han asked very seriously: "Is there a big funding gap for Twentieth Century Fox?" ”

Although Lin Han has invested in three movies in succession, "The Princess Diaries 2", "Batman Returns", and "Saw 2", with a total investment of up to $130 million, he is about to spend almost the $160 million budget that "Saw" made, but his income is not limited to movies.

In addition to being a cutting-edge director in Hollywood, Lin Han also has the dual identity of a writer and a singer, Lin Han's initial start-up capital came from novels, and now, with "Left Hand Reflection, Right Hand Years", "Sadness Flows into a River", "Small Times", "Bubble Summer", "Twilight", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" Six novels, large sums of money are still flowing into Lin Han's wallet.

Especially after the English version of the Chinese Chinese online was launched, the work "Twilight", which was originally "cold" in the domestic market and was sung by many people to prove that Lin Hanjianglang was talented, was unexpectedly very popular among foreign readers, and the subscription was rubbing upward.

In addition, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has just ended, and the high popularity has brought a new round of subscription and reward frenzy, so Lin Han's income has also risen, so his confidence is also very sufficient.

Just a day ago, the sales of Lin Han's second solo music album "Love" also came out, and in just one month, the global sales of the album "Love" exceeded 3 million, breaking a number of Chinese singer album sales records one after another, according to professional predictions, Lin Han's second album sales are expected to exceed 6 million copies.

Lin Han signed a sharing agreement with Jewell Records as high as 70%, so his income from the album is also very high.

In short, Lin Han is not short of money, so he is very interested in investing in the "X-Men" series of movies.

In the previous life, although the reputation of "X-Men" has been very good, but the performance at the box office is a little unsatisfactory, in this life, although because the scale of the Oriental film market in Huaxia and other regions is much larger, the box office of "X-Men" has increased a lot compared with the previous life, but the increase is not much, and the global final box office of the first "X-Men" in 2000 is only 400 million US dollars.

At a cost of $75 million, Twentieth Century Fox made a lot of money with "X-Men", but Twentieth Century Fox did not have only one movie called "X-Men", other investment films also lost money, and the investment in "X-Men 2" reached $110 million, so there was a gap in their funds.

In the face of Lin Han's inquiry, Hugh Jackman stretched out two fingers, and Lin Han immediately guessed: "Is the gap only 20 million US dollars?" I made a phone call, and in half a day, the funds were available to the Twentieth Century Fox account. ”

For Lin Han to throw out 20 million US dollars without blinking an eye, this trench slightly shocked Hugh Jackman, but then, he smiled bitterly: "Lin, not 20 million US dollars, but 200 million US dollars, the funding gap of "X-Men 3" is as high as 200 million US dollars!" ”

After hearing this, Lin Han was immediately frightened, Nima, the gap is 200 million US dollars, which is the total investment of the entire movie, that is to say, if there is no 200 million US dollars, the filming plan of "X-Men 3" will be shelved?

Hollywood is a market-oriented Hollywood, and without enough financial support, no matter how good the movie is, it is in danger of being shelved.

Seeing Lin Han's expression, Hugh Jackman nodded and said bitterly: "Personally, I naturally hope that the story of the "X-Men" series can continue to be interpreted, but funding is really a problem, and the company has given us the bottom line at present, either we don't do it, or we can do our best!" ”

Seeing the appearance of "Uncle Wolf" Hugh Jackman's heroic man who was stumped by a penny, Lin Han was also quite uncomfortable, of course, this metaphor may be a bit problematic, because now it is 200 million US dollars that stump "Wolverine"!

As the soul core of the "X-Men" series of movies, Hugh Jackman's love for "X-Men" is undoubted, otherwise, he would not have come to Lin Hanla for investment, his behavior this time was not instructed by the company, it was completely out of love for movies, and he was personally willing to reduce his salary to reduce the financial pressure of the film.

"You wait a minute!" After Lin Han finished speaking, he walked to the inner compartment and made a phone call, mainly to check the balance of his bank account, and then calculate his income in all aspects.

The box office revenue from "Chainsaw" has not yet arrived, but it is almost there, but the money has already gotten somewhere, and Williams Film still has some working capital, so the funds that Lin Han can use are his own income from novels and albums.

After more than ten minutes, Lin Han returned to his seat, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Hugh Jackman apologetically and said, "Sorry, my friend, now I only have $50 million in funds at my disposal, and at the end of October, I can only use $100 million in funds!" ”

Lin Han was worried about how to get $200 million, but Hugh Jackman laughed happily after listening to Lin Han, and said: "Great, as long as we have the first $50 million, we can start "X-Men 3", thank you, Lin, you are your best friend!" ”

Hearing Hugh Jackman's words, Lin Han suddenly patted his head, he was also in a hurry just now, but he forgot about this stubble, there are not many funds for a movie.
