Chapter 383 [The Da Vinci Code]: They say, I restrain the mistress

As "The Da Vinci Code" successively defeated "Mission: Impossible 3" and "X-Men 3", starring Tom Cruise's star status in Hollywood has become more stable.

Of course, it was just a stabilization, maintaining its position and not going any further.

After all, Tom Hanks' current celebrity status is second only to Zhang Nan's top position in Hollywood.

Although the fixed salary is still 2000 million U.S. dollars, if it is less than 3000 million U.S. dollars, it will include box office share and peripheral share.

After a movie, Tom Hanks's income will not be less than 4000 million US dollars, and even if it is a box office hit, the income can be nearly [-] million US dollars.

For example, the second highest-grossing film of the year, "The Da Vinci Code," Tom Hanks' earnings from it were close to this figure.

……

6 month 16 day.

[Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift] is released.

Zhang Nan attended the film's premiere as usual.

After all, the director is Lin Yishan, a director contracted by his company. The "Fast and Furious" series has always had many indirect appearances of him (Zhang Nan did not appear directly, but Zhang Nan's horses appeared frequently. Among them, Zhang Nan appeared indirectly).

The premiere continued to be uneventful, with no entangled incidents happening, so Zhang Nan focused entirely on watching the movie.

In the original time and space, after the "Fast and Furious" series became a top series.

Everyone's evaluation of "Fast and Furious 3" is that this film is the most failed film in the entire "Fast and Furious" series.

This statement cannot be wrong.

After all, the cost was similar to the previous two games, but in the end [Fast and Furious 3] only made a box office of 1.58 million US dollars, which was nearly a quarter less than the box office of the previous two games, which was about [-] million US dollars.

Such a situation is indeed considered a failure for a commercial film.

But you have to look at many things based on the actual situation.

The filming location was in Neon, the director was a newcomer named Lin Yishan, conflicts began to arise among the actors in the crew, and two films had been released, with very different styles and plots, and the audience was already tired of it... ...Under various unfavorable circumstances.

This movie "Fast and Furious 3" also made a global box office of 1.58 million U.S. dollars. It barely recovered its money by relying on the box office. It can be said to be a small profit including peripherals.

This film can be said to be a bit of a failure, but it was definitely a commercial success.

This is why after "Fast and Furious 3" was such a box office success, Lin Yishan from the original space and time was successively appointed by Universal Pictures as the director of the "Fast and Furious" series.

Universal Pictures can become a Hollywood giant in Hollywood, but there are still people in the mainland who understand reason and have a vicious vision.

only……

Looking at the Tokyo scene on the big screen, there are also all kinds of neon artists.

Zhang Nan always felt that this movie gave him a sense of shortness and frustration.

"Have I watched too many neon love action movies, so now when I see the neon artist, my mind is filled with the tones of those neon love action movies?"

"But that's not right! I haven't watched it very much in recent years. I have always sacrificed myself to experience it."

finally.

Zhang Nan placed the blame for this feeling on the director of the neon love action film Yuan Shikong, who has not changed his shooting techniques all year round.

...The premiere of [Fast and Furious 3] is over.

Lin Yishan arrived in front of Zhang Nan and wanted to hear Zhang Nan's evaluation of the movie.

"The film is good, but due to the subject matter, the film will not be as immersive in Europe and the United States, and the box office may not be ideal compared to the previous two films.

But the president of Universal Pictures is not stupid and can find these things.

So if nothing else goes wrong, even if the movie box office will be slightly lower than the previous two movies, you should have no problem controlling the directing rights of the "Fast and Furious" series in the future.

Besides, I’m not afraid if there are any problems. I still have the lifeblood of Universal Pictures in my hands. "

Zhang Nan shared her actual experience with Lin Yishan, a director under contract with her own company, and said sincerely that the lifeblood of Universal Pictures in this language is naturally the "Jurassic World" series.

Lin Yishan was very flustered when he listened to the first half of Zhang Nan's words, but after thoroughly listening to all Zhang Nan's expressions, he felt calmer and even a little excited.

Because of the "Fast and Furious" series plus the "Martial Arts" spin-off series, he has two guaranteed series on his hands.

If something goes wrong, he won't be stuck in Hollywood, following in the footsteps of Wu Baige and Li Lianlian.

"Director Zhang, I will work hard for the company." After Lin Yishan received Zhang Nan's guarantee, he immediately gave Zhang Nan a guarantee of loyalty.

Zhang Nan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

Needless to say, Lin Yishan's directorial abilities are almost unmatched by anyone in the Mainland in terms of box office and commercial filmmaking.

this is not

Although the "Fast and Furious" series has entered the top series, "Fast and Furious 7" with a global box office of over one billion US dollars was not directed by him, but by Wen Ziren.

但1.58亿的【速度与激情3】、3.64亿的【速度与激情4】、6.63亿的【速度与激情5】、7.88亿的【速度与激情6】，都是林一杉执导的。

It can be said that the great success of Wen Ziren's "Fast and Furious 7" also owes a lot to Lin Yishan.
-
As Zhang Nan expected, [Fast and Furious 3] delivered unsatisfactory box office data.

The box office in North America on the first day was 973.1 million US dollars, which did not even break through the single-day box office of [-] million US dollars. This is quite low during the summer vacation.

The box office revenue of US$2458 million in the first week was almost half of the performance of Mission: Impossible 3, and it completely stretched the crotch.

But fortunately, Universal Pictures' attitude towards "Fast and Furious 3" is as Zhang Nan expected - knowing that "Fast and Furious 3" is restricted by too many factors, it is already very good to have this box office. , directly gave the directorship of the next "Fast and Furious 4" to Lin Yishan.

With the box office performance of "Fast and Furious 3", the North American summer vacation season in June is similar to that in May - "The Da Vinci Code" beats "Mission: Impossible 3" and "X-War" Cop 3] and [Fast and Furious 3].

Then the sensitive and good-hearted media suddenly discovered it.

Huh?
what happened?

Why is it that all three sequels in the series were beaten by "The Da Vinci Code"?

Could it be that the movie "The Da Vinci Code" is a sequel to the third film in the series?
As soon as this nonsensical media headline was reported, it caused a lot of laughter during the warm summer vacation.

Many people think this discovery is quite interesting, and maybe it has some credibility.

then……

[Superman Returns] landed strongly and dismissed this idea.
