How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 107 Criticism Between Giants

In Zhang Nan's plan, this wave carried Ye Quanzhen and ran away, stealing the happy time.

At the very least, it has to be maintained for a weekend and a small holiday.

But what Zhang Nan never expected was that he didn't even have time for a single rest.

Only one night.

Early on Saturday morning, he didn't even have time to do morning exercises.

Happy hour is interrupted.

And the most annoying thing is.

The one who interrupted him was still not the "Rush Hour" crew who had been robbed of the heroine, but one of his own—his manager, Old Luke.

in the living room.

Zhang Nan got angry, poured a glass of cold water and threw it on the tea table, "What's the matter, can't you talk about it on Monday? Can't you talk about it on the phone? Do you have to ring the doorbell yourself?"

On the bed on the second floor, Ye Quanzhen was still lying there.

And at most, I can only lie down until Monday morning, and then I have to go back to the crew of "Rush Hour" to film.

Otherwise, if Chenglong is really in a hurry, he will call the door.

He is an action superstar who started out in radio gymnastics, and he must not be able to handle Chenglong, an action superstar who sang opera in Liyuan since he was a child and was tempered in martial arts when he grew up.

Moreover, there are so many furniture in this villa, and the environment is so complicated.

The blessing of Chenglong's combat effectiveness can be said to be second only to Furniture City.

Originally, the hard power was insufficient, and the opponent's increase was almost full, and the own side had no reinforcement.

Then what are you carrying?
But in such a precious weekend, old Luke came to the door early in the morning to waste his precious time.

Zhang Nan felt that he could still pour a glass of cold water for old Luke, which was considered self-restraint.

Old Luke picked up the cold water indifferently, and asked quickly: "Zhang, did you go to the premiere of [007: Tomorrow's Empire] yesterday, and then left temporarily?"

"Clam?"

Zhang Nan was taken aback when he heard the words, "How do you know about this?"

It stands to reason that although he didn't keep this matter secret, it was something he did temporarily after a whim.

Except for Chenglong, who saw him in the parking lot of the premiere, and the staff of the "Rush Hour" crew, they will definitely report him to Chenglong about the truth about his resistance to Ye Quan.

The other people in the parking lot of the premiere didn't know the cause and effect.

Even if you saw him coming and leaving, you couldn't be sure if he came back in the end.

After all, there were so many people at the premiere ceremony, and after walking the red carpet and showing their faces one by one, they went directly to the seats in the screening hall and sat down. At most, they could only know the people around their seats, but they couldn't notice everyone.

But Old Luke didn't say a word, and directly threw out a dozen newspapers that should have been selected by him from his arms, because he was included in the topics.

[The box office was unfavorable on the first day, and the reason turned out to be his absence. 】

[The strength of the box office mascot has once again increased. 】

[Temporary change of mind...]

Among the headlines on the front pages of more than a dozen entertainment newspapers, there is only one meaning to express.

That is, the first day box office of [007: Tomorrow's Empire] seems to hit the street.

As for the mascot of the box office, he had a premonition in advance, arrived at the scene, but left halfway.

Once again, the credibility of the box office mascot has been preserved, and the mascot's ability has also been enhanced.

After Zhang Nan read it, he was puzzled and murmured, "This is wrong!"

Because he clearly remembered that MGM's [007: Tomorrow's Empire] did not have a good box office in North America.

But in the end, it also achieved [-] million US dollars in North America.

Although compared with the production cost of [-] million US dollars, it is difficult to recover even half of the cost of the [-] million US box office in North America.

But in fact, the total box office results have passed, but it has not met MGM's expectations.

Because the box office performance of the 007 series in North America has always been more than 1 million.

The box office box office base of this series has never been the North American film market, but the film markets in Europe, America and all over the world.

And in the current media, it seems that on the surface they have been talking about his box office mascot name, but inside they seem to be crazily pessimistic about the box office of [007: Tomorrow's Empire].

There's something wrong with this.

Old Luke nodded vigorously upon hearing this.

The reason why he came to Zhang Nan's villa early in the morning on Saturday, even before Monday, was because he discovered this.

Having been in Hollywood for decades, old Luke is still very sensitive to some changes in Hollywood public opinion.

"So I asked my brother-in-law to check the first-day box office of [007: Tomorrow Empire] with people from Disney.

It was found that the box office of [007: Tomorrow's Empire] was not low on the first day. Although the audience's word-of-mouth in theaters was relatively average, it reported a single-day revenue of 1600 million US dollars.

This is already very good for a blockbuster movie in the Christmas file. "

"Someone wants to praise and kill me?" Zhang Nan responded subconsciously, and felt for the first time what it meant to be popular.

Old Luke shook his head slightly, "That's not the case, maybe someone wants to use your name as the box office mascot to look bad at the box office of [007: Tomorrow's Empire]."

"Clam?"

Zhang Nan was a little unbelievable when he heard the words, and his face was full of puzzlement and shock, "Who is so fierce, even the core IP of MGM and the housekeeper's 007 series dare to hack, he doesn't know how to mess with Hollywood, can't mess with the Big Eight?" ? It also messed with MGM, which has already acquired United Artists, and it can be regarded as the two giants now."

Old Luke looked at Zhang Nan with a calm gaze: "You have said that, the answer has already surfaced, and the territory of North America, who would dare to do this?"

Zhang Nan was taken aback by the question, and then quickly reacted, thinking of "Titanic" which will be released next week, "You mean, [-]th Century Fox and Paramount did it."

Old Luke nodded, and then said as if stating the facts: "The investment of [-] million US dollars, the Hollywood giants can't afford it!
Moreover, the film market for a Christmas film is so big, if you get more for [007: Tomorrow's Empire], you will get less for [Titanic].

And the release time of the two films is only a short week apart. "

This reason is sound and almost unassailable.

Moreover, it is not once or twice that Hollywood giants attack each other for their own interests, but often.

Basically every summer vacation, you can see such a few performances.

But this time he was dragged in, so it was a bit dangerous.

And this time is different from the previous situation.

This time [Titanic], but cut too many box office.

After seeing this, MGM must have felt very uncomfortable, and absolutely must bear a grudge.

"How can I get myself out of this matter?" Zhang Nan asked.

Old Luke thought for a while, and replied: "Don't do anything, don't accept interviews, don't make trouble, the popularity of your box office mascot has almost dissipated around October, and now it's just artificially hyped up." , you’ll be fine if you don’t respond.”
