How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 314 [007] It doesn’t matter if you can’t act, we still have a lot of numbers here.

In fact.

If he hadn't heard that Li An had suffered a huge setback on [Hulk], it would have taken Wu Baige much longer than 90 seconds to get over the failure of [Wind Talker]. When he shot [ A Better Tomorrow] more time.

The reason why Wu Baige chose to go to Wanwan to heal his wounds was because he wanted to experience it again. He wanted to recreate the feeling of having a slice of abalone on a date at Wanwan.

But... Wanwan's entertainment industry has changed a lot over the years.

Although it is still barren, there are two roads leading to the sky.

One is naturally relying on Zhang Nan's influence, Ye Quanzhen, who lives a very chic life in Wanwan, and Jia Jingwen has already taken this road. In recent years, with the help of Zhang Nan's few resources, her career and celebrity status have improved. The situation is very prosperous.

The other is Li'an's fortune. As a local, he naturally has a lot of support.

The place in Wanwan is not big, and the quantity of abalone is limited. After two combs and one brush, the quality of the remaining abalone is not good enough.

This situation greatly dampened Wu Baige's purpose of coming here to heal his injuries.

Fortunately, there is always a way to go. The box office failure of "The Incredible Hulk" caused one of the two crooked seafood brushes to break, and the requirements for the other one were too stringent.

Therefore, Wu Baige's situation in Wanwan was immediately improved, and his fighting spirit was immediately restored.

After all, he is the only one who hit a wall in Hollywood, and he must feel uncomfortable, but if he is accompanied by someone, his mentality will be completely different.

……

[Pirates of the Caribbean] is released on July 7th.

It can be said that it was released in the name of "Terminator 3", a classic masterpiece with the names of Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron.

Disney Pictures' expectations for "Pirates of the Caribbean" are nothing more than a luxurious commercial.

It doesn't matter how much the box office is.

Spread your fame and let the whole world know that we have a new project in Disneyland, come and play!

That's what matters! !

So when Disney was promoting [Pirates of the Caribbean], many of its slogans were, go watch [Pirates of the Caribbean] in the cinema, go to Disneyland and ride a pirate ship, double the happiness, you deserve it.

Then something unexpected happened.

……

Disney Studios Headquarters.

President Bob Brett looked at the box office statistics in his hand, his face full of bewilderment.

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

When the secretary heard the president's inquiry, he quickly replied: "There is absolutely no mistake. I asked the statistics department and the circulation department to double check this data. It is indeed this number."

Since it is an advertising film, Disney, as an advertiser, naturally has to collect advertising effects as soon as possible.

When using movies to advertise, the movie box office and audience reputation are the best statistics.

As Disneyland is the most important pillar industry of the Disney Group, the new projects of Disneyland have naturally become the focus of attention.

Therefore, Disney has exerted a lot of subjective initiative in the box office data and audience reputation statistics of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

All data statistics are basically completed at noon the next day, delivered to Disney Pictures President Bob Brett, and then forwarded to the Disney Group headquarters.

But the current box office data and audience reputation of [Pirates of the Caribbean]...

Bob Brett looked at the contents of the report again.

Global first-week box office: 1.53 million.Audience reputation: Highly recommended.

These two data basically show that "Pirates of the Caribbean" is both a hit and a hit.

And according to the global first-week box office statistics, the global total box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" will be between 5 and 6 million US dollars.

This is a very outrageous data.

Because the entire [Pirates of the Caribbean] movie promotion seems grand, but in fact it is not exciting. A large number of promotional points are on the latest project of Disneyland, the pirate ship.

And the most important point is -

[Pirates of the Caribbean] hit the market seven days after [Terminator 3] was released, which was the time when [Terminator 3] had the strongest box office.

That is the [Terminator] series with the blessings of Schwarzenegger and James Cameron!

Moreover, Bob Brett is not only paying attention to "Pirates of the Caribbean" these days, he is also very concerned about the box office situation of "Terminator 3".

Bob noticed that the box office of [Terminator 3] in the second week was strongly affected after the release of [Pirates of the Caribbean], and the drop was even more terrifying than being cut in half.

"Reporting to the headquarters, the box office situation of [Pirates of the Caribbean] in global movie theaters is very optimistic, and the park's pirate ship project has been promoted very hard, but... it seems to be a bit too big. I suggest that the headquarters discuss it and provide [Pirates of the Caribbean] in the park." Pirates] Construction of more relevant entertainment projects."

……

The global revenue in the first week was 1.53 million US dollars, and it beat [Terminator 3].

In the next week, it once again won 2.13 million US dollars in the world, and continued to suppress the explosive hammer of [Terminator 3].

The box office performance of [Pirates of the Caribbean] made a bunch of Hollywood giants and the media dumbfounded.

Isn’t this [Pirates of the Caribbean] a commercial?
Why was it so violent? It beat [Terminator 3] like this.

Because after two weeks, the box office of "Terminator 3" in North America was almost beaten by "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The specific manifestation is that the cumulative North American box office of [Terminator 3] in the two weeks did not exceed 8500 million, but only reached the level of [-] million US dollars.

When you find a problem, you naturally need to find the reason!
Then a group of Hollywood tycoons and reporters looked over and over at the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project, and only saw two words in it - Zhang Nan.

"At first, I thought Disney and New Line Pictures were a bit stupid. Spending [-] million U.S. dollars and such a huge price to hire Zhang Nan was purely an act of injustice."

"Now it seems that it's hard to say who the big culprit is!"

"As for themes and projects like [Pirates of the Caribbean], currently, its global box office starts at least 4.2 million US dollars. Such blockbusters and theaters all have a 1.2-1.2 share, which means that the share of the box office is as high as 1.3 million. Throw it aside Zhang Nan’s 5000 million U.S. dollars in salary, [-] million U.S. dollars in box office share, and [-] million U.S. dollars in other production costs, netted a net income of [-] million U.S. dollars, and this does not include peripheral income. In the end, he got a top IP for nothing .”

"[Pirates of the Caribbean] is a movie project with no foundation, and the box office is like this. Then the spin-off of [Lord of the Rings], which is already quite popular, can't make money?"

Similar thoughts appear in the minds of many people.

Then...the Hollywood giants who hold the copyrights of the classic IP series, but are afraid that the restart will fail and affect the value of the copyrights, can't sit still.

Even MGM, which was already bankrupt, jumped up and twitched, produced the [007] series, and even made a semblance of a spin-off film plan for Zhang Nan, and sent it to Zhang Nan.

Simple 007 is European and American, director Zhang, you definitely can't play it, and 007 fans don't agree.

But aren’t you also working on spin-offs recently?

Since there is 007, there must be 001, 002, 003...these number plates are still empty.

Tell me, which number do you want to choose?

Although MGM is bankrupt, it is currently being reorganized and is about to be resurrected.

We can definitely give you the greatest support for the spin-offs of the [007] series.
