Chapter 248 Routine Riding the Dragon
Released from July 7 to the end of July.

Or others are afraid of the prestige of the first two parts of the "Jurassic Park" series, or Universal Pictures has carried out some operations.

Anyway, the North American summer vacation for half a month was exclusively occupied by [Jurassic Park 3].

But the result ~, more general.

And after half a month, the reputation of [Jurassic Park 3] among movie fans has already begun to collapse.

Evaluations such as boring, confused, and illogical were all thrown at the head of [Jurassic Park 3].

But fortunately, it has the foundation laid by the first two [Jurassic Park] series, and [Jurassic Park 3] itself is qualified in terms of visual effects.

After less than half a month, it was still a hot handicap for the summer vacation, and [Jurassic Park 3] still won nearly 1.2 million U.S. dollars in the North American box office.

Looking at the trend, it is estimated that the final North American box office will be around 1.8 million U.S. dollars, so Universal Pictures can use the box office dividends of [Jurassic Park 3] in the North American film market alone to save the production fee of 9300 million U.S. dollars. The US dollar cost is recovered.

As for the overseas box office of [Jurassic Park 3], although it is the same as in North America, the box office is expected to be far lower than that of [Jurassic Park 1.2]. The global box office of Luo Ji Park 1.8] has been pushed to about 3 million U.S. dollars.

However, relying on these overseas box office and profits from movie peripherals and copyrights, it can roughly bring Universal Pictures a profit of no less than [-] million U.S. dollars.

This profit made the executives of Universal Pictures look at the "Jurassic Park" series with joy and sorrow.

The joy is that the [Jurassic Park] series can really make money.

The worry is that they dare not shoot [Jurassic Park 4].

毕竟【侏罗纪公园1】全球9亿多美金的票房，到了【侏罗纪公园2】就变成了全球6亿多美金的票房，如今的【侏罗纪公园3】，票房落点更是降低到了全球3亿多美金票房的程度。

If we shoot [Jurassic Park 4] again, it is estimated that the box office will be more than 1 million U.S. dollars, and we will lose money.

Just when [Jurassic Park 3] was in the North American film market, Zhang Nan was in a villa in Hollywood. When he was idle, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Chenglong is here.

Regarding Chenglong's sudden visit, Zhang Nan was at a loss at first.

Fortunately, Chenglong didn't go around in circles with Zhang Nan, and after a few opening remarks, he confessed to Zhang Nan his intentions.

"A'nan, we're all on our own, so I won't hide it anymore. The summer vacation is coming to an end soon. I came here just to get some advice from you. Your [Neon Martial Art Museum] 】When is it going to be released, I can also arrange my [Rush Hour 2] to be staggered, otherwise the left hand will fight the right hand, and my own work will fight in the ring. Whoever loses wins, and it will not sound good to spread it." Chenglong said with a little anxiety in his tone .

Zhang Nan naturally heard the uneasiness in Chenglong's tone, and was still a little dazed at first.

Then after thinking about it for a while, I understood.

In terms of the accumulated background of the series, this is only the second part of the [Rush Hour] series, which is naturally less interesting than the third part of the [Neon Martial Arts] series.

In terms of the past achievements of the series, [Rush Hour 1] has a global box office of only 4 million U.S. dollars, of which Zhang Nan is credited, while the first two parts of the [Wuguan] series have a global box office of 4.8 million U.S. dollars and a global box office of 4 million U.S. dollars. .

In terms of the protagonists of the series, [Rush Hour] even if the double protagonists Chenglong and Will Smith are tied together, they are not as thick as Zhang Nan's thigh. After all, the current global box office has exceeded one billion US dollars. Zhang Nan played the leading role, even if Zhang Nan starred, it can be said that Zhang Nan was mixed up.

It doesn't matter if it can't compare with anything else, the main elements of the "Rush Hour" series and the "Wuguan" series are relatively similar, and the main elements are action movies.

It's just that one is a modern comedy action movie, and the other is an ancient kung fu action movie.

If they are released together, [Rush Hour 2] is definitely not the third part of the [Neon Martial Arts] series.

And after the mediocre results of "Magic City Noon", Chenglong is currently in need of the box office of "Rush Hour 2" to boost its popularity in Hollywood.

It may even be possible that this trip by Chenglong will be followed by Will Smith's encouragement, because his situation is similar to that of Chenglong, but Zhang Nan recommended a documentary about "King of Boxing Ali" to him some time ago, Will Smith This trip is not good and come again.

"What date does Brother Chenglong plan to put [Rush Hour 2]?" Zhang Nan thought about it after hearing the words, and asked rhetorically instead of answering directly.

"Forehead……"

Chenglong cast Zhang Nan's eyes carefully, and for a moment he didn't know whether to speak or not.

After all, in terms of schedule selection, the sooner you speak first, the more advantageous you will be, but now he speaks directly, which is a bit too much.

Seeing this, Zhang Nan also understood Chenglong's thoughts, and quickly explained: "Brother Chenglong, I'm not being polite, and now I'm putting aside the situation in Hollywood, and you know how much the box office of a [Neon Martial Arts] , it doesn't bother me, and..."

Zhang Nan paused, and continued to speak domineeringly: "As far as my current coffee position is concerned, no matter what schedule [Neon Martial Arts] is placed in, I don't think its box office will be far behind."

Hearing Zhang Nan's speech, Chenglong nodded frequently, and was yearning for it. Finally, after thinking about it, he said cautiously: "[Jurassic Park 3]'s box office momentum is so weak that many film and television companies did not expect it. , so the August schedule of the summer vacation is considered to be vacant, I think... put [Rush Hour 2] in early August."

Hearing Chenglong's answer, Zhang Nan recalled the release time of "Rush Hour 2" in the original space-time - August 8rd.

Then Zhang Nan thought for a while and said: "Originally, I wanted [Neon Martial Arts Museum] to be released in mid-August, since Brother Chenglong wants [Rush Hour 2] to be released in early August, then I will do it again." Delay for a few days, September [-]st."

It was Zhang Nan's long-awaited plan to let "Neon Martial Arts" be released on September [-]st, but in order to get more favors from Chenglong, Zhang Nan naturally had to use language art to operate it.

really.

After hearing Zhang Nan's words, Chenglong was caught in a trap, and kept promising various benefits to Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan accepted it with pleasure. After all, Chenglong didn't have a few years to go in Hollywood, but when he returned to the mainland in the future, he would still be a top-level celebrity who could produce top-level resources, and had more than ten years of brilliance.

[Mythology], [New Police Story], [Baby Project], [Rush Hour 3], [King of Kung Fu], [Zodiac], [Little Soldier]... and other resources, although they are not good for Zhang Nan , but for Hu Ge and Yu Entai, who Zhang Nan just accepted, they are very good resources.
