How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 247 IP movie is about to rise
after a few weeks.

【Fast and Furious 1】, which was released for nearly a month, broke through [-] million U.S. dollars at the North American box office and nearly [-] million U.S. dollars at the global box office.

An investment of less than 5000 million US dollars was exchanged for a box office of nearly [-] million US dollars.

It made director Rob Cohen famous in Hollywood, and it also made Vin Diesel and Paul Walker and other leading actors of "Fast and Furious" change from being tepid to having a place in Hollywood.

And the box office performance of "Fast and Furious" is so proud that even Universal, whose energy is mostly involved in "Jurassic Park 3", cannot be ignored.

[Fast and Furious] was officially renamed as [Fast and Furious 1], and its sequel [Fast and Furious 2] has been approved within Universal Pictures.

The production fee jumped directly from the original 4800 million US dollars (the original time and space was only 3800 million) to 7600 million US dollars, which can be said to have almost doubled, and the leading actors have basically remained unchanged.

It's just...the original director, Rob Cohen, was replaced.

The specific reason is not clear to Zhang Nan.

However, in the following years, apart from Rob Cohen's cooperation with Universal Pictures in "The Mummy 2008" released in 3, there was no other cooperation result. It is estimated that this wave is Universal Pictures. Rob Cohen kicked by the industry.

But fortunately, although Rob Cohen was thrown away after being used up by Universal, Hollywood still has many takers for big directors who have produced successful commercial films.

Universal has just announced that "Fast and Furious 2" will not have Rob Cohen's participation, and Sony Columbia Pictures over there took advantage of the vacancy and spent 7000 million US dollars to create a project called "Xxx". Rob Cohen was settled.

And if we talk about [Fast and Furious 1], it was a big hit at the box office, but the director was dumped.

Then [artificial intelligence] here, the box office is so-so, the director is a little depressed.

The box office of [Artificial Intelligence] cannot be said to be bad, after all, the global box office has exceeded [-] million US dollars.

But the box office in North America did not exceed 6000 million, not even close to 7000 million, but more than 8000 million US dollars, and it is expected to be drawn at more than [-] million, less than [-] million US dollars.

Spielberg knows that [artificial intelligence] has a global box office of [-] million US dollars, most of which are caused by the box office appeal he has accumulated in the past.

I also understand that an experimental attempt can have a box office of more than 7000 million US dollars in North America. The result is already good. Basically, it can be regarded as a road, but this road is not as wide and long as he used to walk. That's all.

2001 7 Month 18 Day.

[Jurassic Park 3] is here.

As the current housekeeper series of Universal Pictures, Universal Pictures attaches great importance to [Jurassic Park 3].

After all, the first two [Jurassic Park] series together have a global box office of close to 16 billion US dollars, which has brought too much profit to Universal Pictures.

So after Spielberg refused to continue directing "Jurassic Park 3", Universal Pictures persuaded him for a long time.

Seeing that I couldn't persuade him, I found another director, Joe Johnston, who has participated in the "Star Wars" series to direct.

And it cost a lot of money and a certain price to invite Zhang Nan, the box office mascot, to make a guest appearance.

On the red carpet of the premiere, the people holding Zhang Nan's arms became the Zhongshan sisters.

After walking the red carpet, Zhang Nan met Spielberg who had met with him a few days ago.

The reason why it was not so coincidental was that Zhang Nan found that Spielberg was blocking him on purpose, and when he saw him walking towards the screening room after walking the red carpet, he immediately leaned over.

"Zhang, the box office forecast you told me the other day was a bit inaccurate."

Zhang Nan was not happy when he heard the words, "Steven, you don't want to be innocent with empty teeth, why don't you allow it."

"Of course not, you said [Artificial Intelligence]'s box office is slightly better than [Fast and Furious], what's the result now? [Fast and Furious] has a box office of over [-] million in North America, but [Artificial Intelligence] There is no hope for the North American box office to exceed [-] million." Seeing Zhang Nan's denial, Spielberg said angrily, because he felt a sense of loss that he had been cheated.

Zhang Nan directly retorted: "Steven, what I was talking about was the box office, not the North American box office."

Spielberg was taken aback because he understood what Zhang Nan said.

However, if calculated according to the global box office, [Artificial Intelligence] currently has a global box office of more than [-] million, while [Fast and Furious]'s global box office is weak, and it is estimated that it will barely cross the threshold of [-] million US dollars in the global box office.

When he said this, Zhang Nan was really right.

For a while, Spielberg was stuck in place.

Seeing this, Zhang Nan quickly eased the atmosphere and said, "Steven, why are you being so serious? Even if my box office prediction is not accurate, I am the one who is frustrated. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Spielberg glanced at Zhang Nan angrily.

What do you say I am in a hurry?

You drew a cake for me, but it sounded delicious, but it was unpalatable in my mouth, and it was delicious because I heard it wrong, so I can’t tell you how hard it is.

Seeing Spielberg like this, Zhang Nan took the opportunity to say: "Steven, if you really think that I have a good vision in projects and can predict the movie's box office accurately, then I will give you a suggestion. I also mentioned to you, your new project called [Minority Report], if the leading actor finds Tom Cruise to cooperate, the box office will definitely not be low in the end."

Spielberg looked at Zhang Nan when he heard the words, "What advantage did Tom Cruise give you to help him like this?"

"He said that after becoming the leading actor, he would hand over the film's box office dividend contract to me to operate." Zhang Nan said honestly.

As a result, Spielberg just looked up at Zhang Nan after hearing this, and left without saying anything.

Looking at the back of Spielberg going away, Zhang Nan suddenly felt that when Spielberg approached, the Zhongshan sisters, who were too nervous to speak, tugged at his sleeves.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Nan lowered his head and asked.

As the older sister, Zhongshan Miho was a little more courageous than her younger sister, and asked curiously and with doubts: "Zhang Jun, I feel that your attitude towards a director like Spielberg seems a bit..."

Nakayama Miho was at a loss for words, her younger sister Nakayama Shinobu took the gun skillfully as before and said, "It's a bit disrespectful."

"Have it?"

Zhang Nan asked back first, then hugged the two girls tightly, and continued: "No!"

Then Zhang Nan half hugged and half hugged the two women and strode towards the projection hall, causing the two women to clench their fists and lightly beat Zhang Nan's shoulders, and also interrupted the two women's inquiries.

In fact, the two women feel right. Compared with when Zhang Nan first entered the industry, Zhang Nan's attitude towards big directors like Spielberg has changed a lot.

On the one hand, it is naturally because Zhang Nan's own coffee status is constantly rising.

On the other hand, it is also because it belongs to the era of great directors like Spielberg. In the past, the strength and influence of each of them are declining.

Such a change in status will naturally produce a change in attitude.

And Zhang Nan has the strength and confidence to guarantee his future position in Hollywood, the mainland and other film markets around the world.

At the same time, I am very sure that except for a big director like Spielberg, except for James Cameron and George Lucas who can be counted as half of the "Star Wars" series, the others will gradually die.

Zhang Nan's strength and confidence come from the continuous rise of the mainland film and television industry and the rising box office appeal of his own Golden Finger.

The judgment on the decline of a great director like Spielberg comes from the memory of the original time and space and the analyzed Hollywood development model.

Before the millennium, Zhang Nan could restrain this attitude.

Now the millennium has passed, and soon [Harry Potter], [Lord of the Rings]... and other IP movies are about to rise.

Zhang Nan really couldn't control his inadvertent attitude.
