How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 347 [Kung Fu] 1400 million on the first day in the Mainland

strong support?

After hearing Zhang Nan's answer, Old Monster Xu felt very complicated.

Because Zhang Nan really wasn't lying.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", and even "House of Flying Daggers" can be released globally. Without Zhang Nan, it would be impossible to succeed.

At present, international film distributors only sign copyright buyout contracts for the distribution of mainland films, and do not engage in box office sharing contracts.

Only Zhang Nan's Longbow Distribution Company is willing to sign a box office distribution contract for mainland movies.

but……

[Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon] was fully invested by Zhang Nan, so it is understandable that Zhang Nan took the majority of the profits.

In the box office sharing distribution contract of "Hero", Zhang Nan signed a bet with Zhang Weiping. In the end, "Hero"'s global box office of nearly [-] million US dollars, the majority of the profit was actually taken by Zhang Nan, and Zhang Weiping only made a thousand Make a profit of tens of thousands of dollars.

Zhang Weiping learned from his experience in "House of Flying Daggers" and did not bet against Zhang Nan anymore. Moreover, the distribution contract also came with a reverse buyout. He only paid Zhang Nan a distribution fee of 2000 million US dollars, and then the movie box office income was The film was split equally between the producer Zhang Weiping and the theater chain.

It stands to reason that this issuance condition is good enough.

But the final result was that "House of Flying Daggers" tanked at the box office. Excluding the production fee, Zhang Weiping lost money in "House of Flying Daggers", not to mention making money, while Zhang Nan became the star of the entire "House of Flying Daggers" Ambush] is the biggest beneficiary in this project.

With all these factors in mind, Mr. Xu really has mixed feelings about Zhang Nan’s rhetoric of strongly supporting the development of Chinese-language films.

Fortunately, Old Monster Xu has been in the industry for many years. Although he was full of emotions in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.

After Han Sanpin and Chen Wuji heard Mr. Xu talk about the release of "Seven Swords", they also naturally talked about the release of "Wuji".

When he mentioned [Wuji], Chen Wuji's whole person shone, and his words were full of disdain for [Hero] and admiration for himself [Wuji].

Hearing Zhang Nan's toothache, he finally understood what it means to have a bottle of water that doesn't make any sound, but half a bottle of water that sloshes around.

"As for the specific cooperation, let's find a suitable place and have a good chat some other time. Today is the premiere of [Kung Fu] after all." Zhang Nan listened to Chen Wuji's showoff for a while, and really couldn't stand it anymore, so he tactfully ’s appearance interrupted.

If it were someone else who interrupted his explanation of his new work, Chen Wuji would definitely be embarrassed.

But when he saw that the speaker was Zhang Nan, Chen Wuji subconsciously got scared. After thinking about it deeply, he felt that Zhang Nan's words were not bad. His "Wuji" must be a masterpiece that shocked the past and the present, and the box office will definitely be There will be no shortage of them. The conditions for issuance must be carefully found and negotiated carefully to maximize benefits.

"It should be so." Chen Wuji nodded.

Han Sanpin and Old Monster Xu naturally agreed indifferently, and then the three of them sat down.

However, Zhang Nan did not sit down with the three of them. He will sit with Ishihara Rimi and Jun Ji-hyun. Because the three of them have cameos in the movie and the scenes are together, it is more appropriate to sit together.

……

After a lot of fiddling, the prelude to the premiere of [Kung Fu] is finally ready.

So Zhou Xingxing took the heroine Huang Shengyi and the creative team with a rather shabby appearance to the stage to give a brief final speech.

After the speech, the lights in the screening room began to dim and the big screen began to light up.

First, a butterfly was flying in the Gobi desert, and finally the entire Gobi desert connected into two words - Kung Fu, which can be regarded as the name of the movie.Then it neatly entered the movie screen, starting with a sign of the chief detective, then the chief detective slumped in a chair, and then a person directly hit the plaque of the crime nemesis, leading to the leader of the Crocodile Gang played by Zhang Nan .

This caused a burst of exclamations from the people who came to watch the movie, which made Zhang Nan quite proud, because the people here who can participate in the premiere of "Kung Fu" are of good quality.

When such a group of people saw Zhang Nan on the screen, they cheered and exclaimed, giving Zhang Nan a lot of face.

An arrogant and domineering attitude, plus "Such a beautiful woman was caught here just because she spat on the ground.", "Is there still king's law? Is there still law?", "Yet. Who is there?" With the combination of classic quotations, the image of the character played by Zhang Nan suddenly stood up.

Then a heart-wrenching scene appeared on the big screen.

Jun Ji-hyun and Ishihara Rimi are wearing cheongsams that highlight their beautiful figures. They keep twisting as they walk, which is even more attractive.

Then Zhang Nan's big hand on the big screen directly covered it.

"This is Jun Ji-hyun. There is a number one figure in Hollywood, but she actually plays such a beautiful role."

"It's okay to play a role of a vase, but this role? Why does it feel so frivolous? It's too low."

"And I think the coordination between the two of them is a bit abnormal."

Such various thoughts suddenly appeared in everyone's mind, but in an instant everyone thought that it was Zhang Nan who was cooperating with Jun Jixian's performance, and everyone was relieved.

After some emotion, Zhang Nan's scene came to an end immediately after saying "No, no, did I treat you to dinner?"

Then the protagonist appeared in the Pig Cage Walled City, and some ridiculous stories happened.

To be honest, this "Kung Fu" can basically be said to be the pinnacle of Zhou Xingxing's career as a director.

Because Zhang Nan had watched other Zhou Xingxing movies several times, and he would no longer be interested in them within a short period of time.

But [Kung Fu] is different. No matter which clip you start watching or how long you watch it, Zhang Nan will never get bored.

From here you can see the skills of a director.

It's just that Zhou Xingxing's directorial skills are a bit narrow, that is, if he plays the leading role himself, the effect will be very good, but if he retreats behind the scenes and lets others star, the effect will be much worse.

This can be intuitively felt from the subsequent "Yangtze River No. [-]" (in this movie Zhou Xingxing can be said to be a supporting role, and the protagonist is his son), "Mermaid", "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons"... and so on.

……

At the end, when Zhou Xingxing showed off his eight-pack abs, Fire Cloud Evil God was defeated, and the story of [Kung Fu] ended with a golden flower transformed from a hidden weapon.

All the guests in the screening room applauded me enthusiastically, because the movie was really good.

Even those who don't know anything about box office predictions can intuitively feel that the box office of this "Kung Fu" movie will not be low.

And it is.

The first-day box office in the Mainland of 1400 million yuan directly broke the records of movies such as "Hero", "Titanic"... and set a new record for the first-day box office in the Mainland.
