Although Jiang Yan's contract with Warner is different from that of other singers. The biggest difference is that the share is more, and Warner's income is less. But in general, the profit he has created for Warner in the past two years is still Warner's
The most among all its singers.
Let’s not talk about the Chinese albums and projects for now, let’s just talk about the two English albums, both of which are 10 platinum gold medals, which means that the combined album sales exceed 20 million, and the total sales exceed 300 million US dollars.
In addition to these, Jiang Yan also shines in movies. Not to mention "Man", only "Kill Bill". This movie alone created nearly 50 million profits for Warner.
And the most important thing here is that Jiang Yan is fine.
For general public relations, Jiang Yan will pay for it himself, and for album production, Jiang Yan will do it himself.
From the beginning to the end, Warner only used the soft power of channels.
I have never really spent a lot of money.
In addition, Jiang Yan's recent endorsement deal was with Warner Bros., and although the commission was not much, it was still a profit of tens of millions of dollars.
And in the next six months, Jiang Yan will start a global tour, and there will be at least 20 large-scale concerts, all of which are money.
So you can use a calculator to calculate whether the cooperation with Jiang Yan in the past two years is worth it.
So now there is still half a year before Jiang Yan's contract expires, what should we do next?
Of course let’s talk!
But we have to hurry up, because it is said that Universal and Sony are also going to make a move. Although the price is unknown, according to their characteristics, it will definitely not be much lower. Some organizations have predicted that there will be at least 30 million US dollars in signings.
Fee, and this is conservative, because Jiang Yan still has a Chinese market, and he is also a treasure-level singer who is universally accepted in the true sense.
So on the 22nd, after Jiang Yan's initial endorsement intentions were agreed upon, Warner Henry was about to talk about it.
It's just that Jiang Yan is not in a hurry at all.
Because he is not only in the music business.
So if we want to talk, we have to bring along the rest of my business.
And this time it’s not the same resource exchange method as before.
Henry also knew that the situation on Jiang Yan's side was complicated and not something ordinary singers would talk about, so he was already prepared.
"Joey, you can put forward any conditions you want. Although the senior management's opinions are still somewhat different, I'm here. Don't worry. Now there's good news. I've got the project department to confirm that the car movie project you mentioned before is OK.
Done."
When Henry talked about it, he looked like "I have contributed a lot."
But underneath Jiang Yan's calm appearance, he looked confused.
Car movie project?
Did I also say this?
Which car movie?
After thinking about it, Jiang Yan finally remembered.
It turned out to be a foreshadowing left behind during the production of "Extreme Challenge" in 1999.
That is "Fast and Furious"! Otherwise it can't be "Initial D". He didn't tell anyone about this project, only Gu Hanqing knew about it.
For "Fast and Furious", he asked Gu Hanqing to write the script, and then asked Lao Fan to set up a project in Hollywood under the name of Star Film and Television, but he never moved on because the movie would cost a lot of money. At that time, he had
There are more cost-effective movies to choose from, so it has been left out in the cold until now.
After figuring out which project it was, Jiang Yan asked and stared: "Is there any other company that wants to participate?"
This question also made Henry reveal his true colors directly. He smiled and sighed: "As expected, I can't hide it from you. Universal wants to do it."
"Oh, then I guess you must have known from some channel that Universal wanted to use this project as a condition to recruit me, so you decided to do it, right?"
"That's right, your project hasn't been started since it was established. We thought you gave up, but it turned out that the guys from Universal were interested in this project. Oh, actually, if you want to do it, just tell me.
.
"Under the influence of gaze, Henry confided his heart.
But what he didn't know was that the "Fast and Furious" series was a Universal project in its original time and space, so it was normal for them to take a liking to this project.
And now that this project has become a bargaining chip, Jiang Yan has greater initiative.
In addition, although the first part of the "Fast and Furious" series did not make much money, the follow-up series made a lot of money, so Jiang Yan began to take this project seriously.
Of course, since we are talking about new bargaining chips, we cannot just talk about this movie.
So Jiang Yan put a smile on his face and said: "Oh, I have a lot of projects, I don't know what you think~"
"I'm not afraid of too many projects. I'm just afraid that you won't talk about it. How can we talk about it if you don't talk about it?"
"Then I said it?"
"Say it!"
"Then I'll sort it out for you later."
".
How many?"
"Not too much, not too much. What I have said and what I haven't said in total is only five or six."
".
That’s okay.”
"Oh, this number is for this year and next two years."
“(⊙o⊙)…”
After all, Jiang Yan's main business is still film and television dramas, and this has nothing to do with how his attitude towards "becoming a god" changes.
Whether he becomes a god or not, as a time traveler and as a person who now considers himself an actor, his enthusiasm for the career of film and television dramas will not change.
Therefore, after Grammy, there will be a layout of film and television drama projects.
This year in Lao America, Jiang Yan had previously decided on two projects.
The first one is "Kill Bill 2". After "Kill Bill 1" achieved unprecedented box office success, Quentin and fans from all walks of life have urged Jiang Yan many times to ask when the second part will be released.
So now the second part is here.
The second part also continues the pattern of the first part, and is even wilder, because this time Jiang Yan didn't even produce a script, only the money, and Quentin took care of the rest.
Quentin said verbally, "Aren't you making things difficult for me?", but in fact he was already happy in his heart.
Because he already had the idea, the movie might be released in less than half a year.
After the first item is finished, the second item follows.
This second project is a TV series project, which can be regarded as the first cooperation with Warner in a new field, and this project is "Prison Break".
Regarding "Prison Break", Jiang Yan is actually not in a hurry, because the actors in it are very crucial, and if he can't find the actors, he will have to postpone it.
But before that, the novel can be published first.
The original version of "Prison Break" was not a novel first, but the novel was written and sold as peripheral products after the TV series became popular.
So Jiang Yan can choose to publish it in advance, or directly start the project like the original version. Anyway, he has plenty of time. The original version was approved at the end of 2004 and released in 2005, so Jiang Yan only needs to finish it before 2003.
In addition to the long-promised project "Fast and Furious" which has just been confirmed, there are many options for the remaining film projects.
But you have to be careful when choosing movies, after all, there will be 911 this year.
Before 9/11, any kind of movie could be filmed, but within a year after 9/11, the most suitable movies were comedy-themed movies.
It’s not that others can’t be used, but comedy is the most cost-effective and highly acceptable. The reason is generally due to public sentiment or something.
Therefore, comedy themes are the projects that Jiang Yan will focus on.
Currently, he actually has a comedy-type movie in hand, that is "Kung Fu Panda", but it seems that this movie will not be released until next year, so he will have to find a closer one.
As for what to choose, Jiang Yan is not in a hurry. Anyway, choosing a movie for him is just a matter of pulling up the computer.
So it just so happens that I can do this while traveling through time tomorrow.
The matter with Laos and the United States has been generally settled, and Jiang Yan is about to end his seven-day trip to Laos and the United States.
And he still had two places to go before leaving.
The first one is the "The Matrix 2" training center, which was agreed upon with Yuan Heping before.
The training center is in Los Angeles, which is very convenient, but unfortunately, Keanu Reeves is not here today and he is also very busy. Jiang Yan only saw the fat black actor who played Murphy at the training center.
Jiang Yan doesn't feel sorry for this, because he will come in March, when the filming of the film has already started, so he will not only be able to meet people, but also travel through time.
However, the thief will not leave.
Well, in line with the principle of making friends widely, Jiang Yan spent about ten minutes becoming friends with this black guy named Lawrence, and then demonstrated what authentic martial arts was in front of him, and after chatting for another hour, he directly
Leave.
Two hours later, Jiang Yan's team and Liu Qianqian's mother and daughter set off for New Zealand. This was the last stop before returning to China. He had to catch the last train of "Lord of the Rings 3".
This kind of epic movie is simply outrageous if you don't wear it.
Of course, there is another reason, and that is that his old friends from "The Lord of the Rings" have urged him to come over several times, so it's hard to refuse such kindness.
