How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 382 [The Da Vinci Code]: I want to fight two! !

[Mission: Impossible 3] What can I say about this movie? It’s a bit difficult to evaluate.

You say it is excellent!
Compared with the global box office of "Mission: Impossible 2000" of 2 million U.S. dollars in 5.45, its global box office of 3.98 million U.S. dollars is indeed a huge step back.

But you have to say it’s not excellent!
After many years and with many follow-up spy movies, it took the eighth place in the annual global box office rankings with a box office of 3.98 million US dollars in its original time and space, which is somewhat contrary to one's wishes.

After all, there are so many movies in the world every year, so if this movie can be ranked in the top ten of the year, it is not bad at all.

Anyway, after 126 minutes, Zhang Nan applauded quite unwillingly.

……

$4800.

This is the result after the box office of [Mission: Impossible 3] in its first week.

Not bad.

But compared to the $2 million first-week box office of "Mission: Impossible 7880", it's far behind.

So Tom Cruise, the leading actor who had some conflicts with the producer Paramount Pictures, suddenly couldn't hold back his resentment and went to Zhang Nan directly to start complaining.

"If this movie hadn't been released for such a long time and the fan base had been so cold, the box office would never have dropped so much in the first week." Tom Cruise's tone was full of complaints against Paramount Pictures.

Zhang Nan understands Tom Cruise's complaints very well.

Anyone who encounters this situation will be a little unable to control their emotions.

After all, the drama that was finally developed was suddenly discontinued. Now it is finally resumed, but the actual effect is no longer as good as before. The younger generations have kept up with him as a pioneer, and even... even exceeded it. .

是的，虽然【谍影重重1.2】两部的票房，分别是2.14亿美金和2.90亿美金的全球票房，跟【碟中谍1.2】两部曲的4.57亿美金票房和5.45亿美金票房相比起来。

There is still a gap of about 5 million US dollars.

But Hollywood is a place that is very adaptable to the changing circumstances. It cannot be said that the glorious past has no use, but it is limited.

Now let’s calculate based on the first-week box office of [Mission: Impossible 3] of US$4800 million.

【碟中谍3】的北美总票房在1.5亿至2亿美金之间，全球票房在3亿至4亿美金之间。

Then Matt Damon's "The Bourne Supremacy" has a good chance of surpassing "Mission: Impossible 3" at the box office.

And it is.

明年上映的【谍影重重3】将拿下全球4.44亿美金的票房，比3.98亿美金的【碟中谍3】高出近5000万美金的票房。

Li Gui beat Li Kui and followed suit, surpassing the trailblazer.

Everyone is a bit embarrassed.

"The matter has come to this, and there is no other way. You can only put more effort into publicity." Zhang Nan comforted Tom Cruise.

After all, in this [Mission: Impossible 3], he, the middleman, made a lot of money.

Customers still have to be served well.

When Tom Cruise heard the solution given by Zhang Nan, he became even more decadent and said angrily: "I'm afraid it's useless to put in all the efforts in publicity."

Zhang Nan asked with some confusion, "How come? Don't they say that movie box office is closely related to publicity? Putting more effort in publicity will definitely have some benefits to the box office."

If anyone else had said this, Tom Cruise would have immediately turned against him.

This is a highly competitive summer season!

And if you promote it, won’t others stop promoting it?

If both are rolled, doesn’t it mean that there are no rolls at all?

But facing Zhang Nan, Tom Cruise couldn't start a fight.

Because in the years since Zhang Nan's debut, except for the early years, she also did some publicity after the movie was released.In the years that followed, Zhang Nanren was nowhere to be seen after the movie premiere.

But what is irritating is that even though Zhang Nan is so passive and sabotaging the promotion of the movie, the box office of the movies he stars in continues to rise.

"Zhang, I work hard on publicity, but others don't work hard on publicity? Not all Hollywood superstars are like you. They disappear after the premiere, and... on the 19th, "The Da Vinci Code" starring Tom Hanks ] is about to be released, and the third part of 26th Century Fox’s [X-Men] will be released on the 3th. The best time left for [Mission: Impossible [-]] to harvest the box office is only the first two weeks.”

When Tom Cruise mentioned "The Da Vinci Code", his tone paused.

The reason is simple. There has always been a saying in Hollywood that there are two Toms and one Will.

But over the years, his acting career as Tom has been visibly declining, but the other Tom is taking it one step at a time.

When it comes to Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise can't help but feel a little emotional.

Zhang Nan, on the other hand, focused on [The Da Vinci Code].

Adapted from the best-selling book, with an investment of US$1.25 million, the global box office was US$7.6 million, ranking second in the annual box office.

Let's put it this way, this "The Da Vinci Code" is in a very similar situation to the series of movies adapted from novels such as "Tomb Robbers" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in the golden period of mainland film and television.

The novels became popular first, and then the first adaptation became a box office hit, and then the sequels slowly started to become tepid.

However, Zhang Nan just turned these thoughts in his mind for a while, and then seeing that Tom Cruise was not very interested, he changed the subject with a blunt joke: "Hey, Cruise, I noticed that you seem to be interested in [Mission: Impossible 3]" ] I’m very concerned about and understand the movie schedules before and after!”

Tom Cruise:"……"

What you said makes it sound like you don't pay much attention to your movie schedule.

Is it okay not to pay attention?

If your movie collides with a giant box office monster, won't your movie's box office stop?
With this thought, Tom Cruise suddenly woke up.

Cao!
Zhang Nan seems to really not pay much attention to movie schedules, because the movies he stars in are huge box office monsters.

"I still have to do some promotional work, so I'm leaving first."

With these words of farewell, Tom Cruise ran away.

Zhang Nan was stunned.

I just changed the topic in a joking tone. Why did you run away? Let’s talk some more!

……

5 month 19 day.

"The Da Vinci Code", invested by Columbia Pictures and starring Tom Hanks, has officially launched in North American theaters.

As Tom Cruise expected, "The Da Vinci Code" grossed US$7689 million in its first week, giving "Mission: Impossible 3" a severe beating at the box office in a single week.

For a time, even [Mission: Impossible 3] couldn't resist the urge to draw.

But fortunately, this is the North American summer vacation. Just one week after the release of "The Da Vinci Code", 3th Century Fox launched "X-Men [-]" in North American theaters.

Although the director of [X-Men 3] is no longer Len Singer of [X-Men 1.2], but Brett Ratner, who collaborated with Cheng Long on the [Rush Hour] series.

But with the accumulation of two films, 3th Century Fox has great confidence in [X-Men 3] and feels that it can change the current situation in the movie market where [The Da Vinci Code] unilaterally beats [Mission: Impossible [-]].

But the result~
It has indeed changed, but not much.

It just let [The Da Vinci Code] beat [Mission: Impossible 3] unilaterally, and it turned into [The Da Vinci Code] beating [Mission: Impossible 3] and [X-Men 3] one on two. These two films are both "End of the World" films, and both are third sequels.

no way.

"The Da Vinci Code", which ranks second in the annual box office rankings, is so powerful.
