Chapter 859 Epilogue
After hearing Zhang Nan's request, Robert Downey Jr. felt it was a bit outrageous.
It's the copyright of "Iron Man", and it's also about asking Marvel Studios to support the Longbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform in North America, but Marvel Studios only got guidance on a few movies. The gap is a bit too big.
But Robert Downey Jr. thought about it again.
Although the copyright of "Iron Man" is in the hands of Marvel Studios, Marvel Studios has not made any moves for eight years since the filming of "Iron Man 2013" in 3.
It can be said that even if the copyright of "Iron Man" was given to Zhang Nan, it was a copyright that he did not want to use in the first place.
Then supporting Longbow Pictures' VR viewing helmet platform in North America will be even more beneficial to Marvel Studios.
Because in the past, Marvel Studios' film distribution required cooperation with one of the Hollywood giants, and they had to give up nearly half of the box office revenue.
But on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform, the price is much less, and the checkout is in real time.
"No problem. I should be able to help you find out Marvel Studios' attitude with these two conditions. Should I settle my $2 million espionage fee now or some other way?" Robert Downey Jr. nodded in agreement, but wanted to talk about the compensation settlement.
"Donny, you don't trust me when you say that. It hurts my feelings. Who am I asking Marvel Studios for the copyright of Iron Man for? It's impossible for me to act in it. Isn't it for your consideration?"
Zhang Nan patted Robert Downey Jr.'s shoulder with a sad look on his face and said, "It will all be included in the future salary for [Iron Man 4]."
Robert Downey Jr.: "..."
I really am speechless.
So, your move is not only to cheat Marvel Studios, but also to take advantage of me for free?
But Robert Downey Jr. didn't know what to say after hearing what Zhang Nan said. He could only agree reluctantly as if he had eaten a fly.
……
Late September.
Thanks to James Cameron's relationship, "Changjin Lake" was able to be released simultaneously in traditional physical theaters and Changbow Film and Television's VR viewing helmet platform in North America.
Now that it has been successful in North America, there is no need to say more about the mainland.
So under this circumstance, when September 9th arrived, only two films were released in this National Day period in the mainland film market.
One is naturally "Changjin Lake", and the other is "My Fathers and I".
Originally, the original aerial version of "Changjin Lake" beat up "My Fathers and Me". This version has the blessing of Michael Bay, the explosion maniac, so the war scenes of "Changjin Lake" are even more shocking, and "My Fathers and Me" was beaten so badly that it had no chance to fight back.
On the first day of its release, "Changjin Lake" grossed million yuan at half price, equivalent to billion yuan in box office revenue in traditional physical theaters.
The box office of "My Fathers and Me" on the first day was only million RMB at half price, which is only equivalent to the 5 million RMB box office of traditional physical theaters.
The reason for this situation can only be said to be that the mainland film and television companies have been taking advantage of the "Me and My" series too much.
From "My Motherland and I" in 2019, to "My Hometown and I" in 2020, to the current "My Parents and I".
The melody has always been a tribute film, but the pattern is slowly declining, from the motherland to the hometown, and finally to the father's generation.
Not only is the soup the same, but the flavor becomes more and more limited each time it's changed, and anyone would get tired of it.
In fact, the box office performance of these three movies in their original time and space has gradually declined.
"My People, My Country" still made billion RMB at the box office, "My People, My Hometown" reached the billion RMB box office threshold, receiving billion RMB at the box office, and "My Fathers and Me" even fell to the billion RMB box office threshold of billion RMB. However, it was also because the box office of "Changjin Lake" was a bit too successful, which made some people jealous.
So soon someone jumped out to criticize "Changjin Lake".
For example, Lu San complained on Weibo: "Everyone says that my film Nanjing Nanjing is not straight and relies on fantasy to glorify Japanese people. What about this film, Changjin Lake? It is a tribute film that is even more standard than my Nanjing Nanjing, but it was co-directed by a North American. Moreover, the North American combat power shown in the film is too exaggerated. Isn't this glorifying North America?"
Lu San originally wanted to take advantage of the popularity.
As a result, as soon as these words came out, netizens immediately criticized him so much that he was at a loss as to which direction to go.
"How the hell can they be the same? What kind of movie is your Nanjing Nanjing? You are just looking for the humanity of the Japanese through fantasy, but Chosin Lake is a real war movie. Strengthening the enemy's strength is to show our combat effectiveness from the side. And Lu San, you don't understand the military very well. As for what is reflected in the movie, it is very likely that it has not reached the level of that year."
"Changjin Lake was co-directed by a North American, and the movie was released in North America. Why don't you try to remake Nanjing Nanjing and see if you can find a Japanese to co-direct it and finally release it in Japan?"
"The above, that's simply impossible. Neon has been distorting history over the years. Even if it's a movie like this made by Lu San that glorifies them, they won't be willing to support it."
"It's not that it's impossible. If Director Zhang is willing to promote it, it might be possible. After all, Director Zhang has been a big name in the Japanese film and television industry over the years. He has touched almost all the top female artists in the Japanese film and television industry."
"It's not just that they've raided almost every one of them. From what I know and what I've counted, basically every popular Japanese female artist will appear in Changgong Studios soon. They say they're filming, but the reality is they're probably being fucked by Director Zhang. And the first person who said she was going to film in Changgong Studios was Akina Nakamori. She's been filming in the city for almost ten years now, and she's even had a baby, but the movie hasn't even been finished or released yet."
"Brother, something is wrong with you! Even if that kind of drama is finished, we won't show it in mainland China! It is considered spreading special colors, and if it is spread on a large scale, it is a serious violation of the law."
"Even if it's not illegal, Zhang Nan will just keep it to himself and won't spread it."
"In fact, there is a chance that it can be transmitted, but it will take a long time. After one or two hundred years, Director Zhang and his group of consorts will all be gone, and then there should be no problem. But we will definitely not be able to see it."
As the conversation went on, the comments section under Lu San's Weibo post was distorted by netizens.
Seeing the building tilted to this extent, Chen Wuji stopped reading the comments section of Lu San's Weibo and said with a proud smile: "Little Lu is still too young and immature, even worse than I was back then. Why bother with the media? They are all a bunch of uncrowned kings who only pursue topics and popularity. The best way to get attention is to take advantage of it. Just watch me do it."
Finished.
Chen Wuji posted a new message on his Weibo: [The Volunteers Go Attack] is already in post-production, we are no worse than [The Battle at Lake Changjin], I hope everyone looks forward to it.
Almost the next moment, there were comments.
Chen Wuji clicked on the comment with pride and expectation, thinking it was his fan.
I didn't expect the first review to be like this: This name is so low, it's not as good as "A Murder Case Caused by a Head Full of Hair", and it's really Chen! Back then, when "Hero" became popular, they imitated it and made a "The Promise", and now when "Changjin Lake" became popular, they made another "The Volunteer Army Attack".
How many years will it take for me to understand this new movie? The time you gave for the last movie, The Promise, was not accurate enough, saying that it would take ten years for people to understand it. It’s been almost twenty years, and I still can’t understand it. What should I do? I’m a little panicked.
Regarding this comment.
All I can say is that sometimes the haters pay more attention to idols than the fans.
Of course.
When Mr. Chen saw this comment, he was so angry that he almost called the legal department to sue the person.
It was too bullying. Every word attacked his weak spot and he couldn't stand it.
