Chapter 388 [Pirates of the Caribbean 2] and [Crazy Stone]

“Let’s discuss this topic after the final box office of [Pirates of the Caribbean 2] comes out!”

Disney President Bob Brett used his authority within Disney Studios to put an end to the agitation among executives and the topic.

There's no way it won't end.

One week before the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", Disney Pictures' stock price rose by five points. Disney Pictures made hundreds of millions of dollars in profits through financial means.

This was just before the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

If the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" completes the global one-billion-dollar gambling agreement, Disney Pictures will be able to leverage at least one to two billion U.S. dollars in profits based on "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

20. A profit of [-] billion US dollars is a profit that cannot be ignored, not to mention for Disney Pictures, but also for Disney Corporation.

For such an important series, it is hard to show any attitude until the dust has completely settled.

……

After the movie ended, Zhang Nan went on stage to bow, thanked and stepped down as usual, and then went directly to the airport by car, planning to fly to the mainland on his own private jet.

Firstly, the preparations for "Transformers" were almost done at Paramount. He had to go back to the mainland to discuss the 5.00% to [-]% investment with China Films, as well as the future release of "Transformers" in the mainland. Issues of scale and timing.

The second is to avoid the heat.

Without it.

These film and television companies in Hollywood are very adaptable to the changing circumstances.

After the box office success of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", Disney Pictures will definitely talk to him about cooperation in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3";

Warner Pictures might be seeing the heat rising and want to talk about [Harry Potter-Voldemort];

Also, Spielberg’s side of DreamWorks is almost done, and Universal will probably take advantage of the heat to talk to him about [Jurassic World 2];

Whenever possible, New Line Cinema would come to him to talk about cooperation on "Lord of the Rings - Legend of Sauron 2".

Zhang Nan is not resistant to these cooperations, but if Zhang Nan wants to negotiate a better price, it is a very good choice to temporarily leave Hollywood and go to the mainland to discuss things while avoiding the limelight.

……

When Zhang Nan was flying around the earth on a private plane.

[Pirates of the Caribbean 2] has also begun to land in the global movie market with great momentum, driven by the distribution channels of Disney Pictures.

The first to be affected is "Superman Returns" invested by Warner Pictures, which was released on June 6.

It was just a show, but [Pirates of the Caribbean 2] almost didn't do anything, it just made a show of momentum.

[Superman Returns] was like being slapped back to his hometown of Krypton, with its single-day box office plummeting to less than $30.

Then there are a number of films that performed well at the box office during the summer holidays in May and June, such as "The Da Vinci Code", "Mission: Impossible 3", "X-Men 3"... and so on.

Of course, the box office of these films has not been greatly affected.

After all, they are all commercial films. After a month or two of release, the potential is almost fully released.

[Pirates of the Caribbean 2] mainly affected the performance of these movies in the summer vacation through comparative techniques.

The most serious one is [The Da Vinci Code].

Before "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was released, almost everyone and the media expressed high praise for this film and its starring Tom Hanks.I feel that "The Da Vinci Code" should be the most eye-catching movie in the entire summer vacation. It was even ranked first or second in the 2006 annual box office rankings.

This statement cannot be wrong.

After all, "The Da Vinci Code" has a global box office of US$7.6 million, and its performance is indeed worthy of this kind of evaluation.

But when "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" hit the North American box office on its first day - US$5583 million, the next day's box office was US$4444.3 million, and the third day's box office was US$3536 million.

After accumulating US$1.35 million in North America in the first week.

"The Da Vinci Code", which surpassed the box office of more than 7000 million US dollars in its first week, almost doubled the results, causing the entire North American entertainment industry to fall into silence.

Because based on the first week box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the total North American box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is between US$3.9 million and US$5.4 million.

To achieve such a box office volume in North America, it can be said that the popularity of the movie has broken through the circle. The total global box office of the movie has exceeded one billion US dollars, which is basically no problem.

There is nothing wrong with a movie that breaks one billion U.S. dollars, but a total box office that doesn’t even reach 7.6 million U.S. dollars, only [-] million U.S. dollars.

The box office gap between the two is only 2.4 million US dollars, but the real gap is far more than that.

If this year's North American summer vacation was personified, then the situation would be as if "The Da Vinci Code" was in the C position in front of the spotlight, enjoying the praise of the media, and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" suddenly appeared and faced "The Da Vinci" Qi Password] said: "Little thing, stand back a little. You can't stand firmly in this position."

……

From North America to the mainland, it usually only takes a dozen hours.

But after Zhang Nan left North America, it took three days before he came to the mainland.

It wasn't that there was an accident on the plane, but that Zhang Nan made a transfer to Neon on the way and brought a group of new generations of the Neon entertainment industry who had long been eager for Zhang Nan's guidance onto the plane for some in-depth guidance.

Therefore, after arriving in the mainland, Zhang Nan did not immediately do what he had planned. Instead, he rested for a few days to recuperate.

Of course, during the recuperation process, Zhang Nan did not just sit there and do nothing, but focused on the mainland entertainment industry.

After all, the mainland economy at this time has begun to grow rapidly, and the entertainment industry has also developed rapidly.

At the beginning of the year, "Huo Yuanjia" took in 1.02 million yuan at the box office in the mainland, which is tangible proof.

It was worth his while to pay attention.

"[Crazy Stone] is currently being released in theaters across the country."

The headline of the entertainment section of a newspaper caught Zhang Nan's eyes. After seeing the specific content, Zhang Nan was stunned.

"[Crazy Stone] will be released at this time?"

There was some surprise in his tone, but after thinking about the time, Zhang Nan's surprise dissipated.

Because Ning Hao, one of the giants of mainland comedy movies in the future, basically started to come into his own at this time.

Of course.

At this time, the top spot among mainland comedy film giants is still sitting under Feng Xiaogang's butt. Although Feng Xiaogang has not been in the position for a long time, he is about to expand and become a serious film maker, making a somewhat failed transformation.

But Ninghao is now relying on a comedy movie "Crazy Stone" similar to "Two Smoking Barrels" style. At most, it is making a splash in the mainland comedy film industry.
