How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 417 [Harry Potter 5] A slight lead of US$4423 million on the first day
Hear the answer to the word piracy.

David Morris' excitement subsided completely.

Because there is also a problem of film and television piracy in North America, which was rampant for a while.

But in the end, the major film and television companies jointly attacked and curbed it with huge fines.

But for other regions except North America, the major film and television companies in North America are somewhat powerless.

It was at this time that David Morris had some inclination to divide [-]% of the profits from the [Harry Potter-Voldemort] series and develop it into a co-production.

Because David Morris knows it.

It is not easy for Warner Pictures to send its own large-scale projects to the mainland film market.

After all, the mainland film market releases [-] imported films every year, and so many film and television companies around the world compete together.

Warner Pictures is really powerless about the film's later release schedule in the Mainland, and can only let Mainland China Film Group arrange it.

It was nothing.

After all, this is how everyone sends movies to the mainland to make a small amount of money, and then cultivates and cultivates the market.

But the bad thing is that now there is Paramount as a disruptor, which directly cooperates with Mainland China Film and Television, enjoys the VIP service of simultaneous global release, and has achieved amazing results.

Thanks to the opening of new markets, Paramount's stock price has soared with the help of Wall Street financial institutions.

Just do what Paramount did and give it a try.

Don't imitate Paramount's operation, it's so greedy.

Damn Paramount!

With mixed emotions, David Morris chatted with Zhang Nan for a few more innocuous words and left Zhang Nan.

Then, before Zhang Nan could take a breath, he discovered that the three little ones were actually standing in front of him.

"Hey, long time no see, you three have grown taller again!" Zhang Nan greeted the three little ones who could no longer be considered three little ones at this time.

Hermione, one of the three little ones, retorted with a bit of resentment: "I only saw him before when he guest-starred in [Transformers 1]."

Zhang Nan heard the resentment in Hermione's words, and turned to look at the other two of the three little ones. He found that they also had unhappy looks on their faces, and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Little Hermione was so scheming that she fell silent. Little Harry, who was a little naive, hesitated for a while and told the whole story.

The situation is not complicated either. As the fifth installment of the [Harry Potter] series has been filmed, two more installments are about to be completed.

Warner Pictures is not ready to continue tossing the creative team of this series, and plans to directly determine the subsequent creative team in one wave.

At present, contracts have been signed for the directors and extras of the follow-up series, leaving only three small protagonists.

Then during the negotiation process, Warner Pictures proposed Sony Columbia Pictures' "Spider-Man" trilogy again. Because the price for starring Tobey Maguire was too high, it directly ended the popular series; The [Harry Potter-Voldemort] spin-off series starring Zhang Nan has been released.

I ruthlessly cut off the salary of three small actors, hoping to directly sign several contracts for the follow-up [Harry Potter] series at a relatively low price.

This greatly damaged the profits of the three small companies.

Hearing that he had become an important influencing factor in the negotiation process between Huaying and San Xiaozhi, Zhang Nan felt a little embarrassed, and he also understood why San Xiaozhi was a little resentful towards him before.

After all, his spin-off film threatens the jobs of the main actors in the main series, which is indeed a bit too much.

However, since Warner Pictures is silently trying to tease him, then don’t blame him for secretly causing trouble.

So Zhang Nan directly suggested to the three little ones: "Don't be scared by Warner Pictures. The two reasons they put forward are false. Sony Columbia Pictures has indeed ended the [Spider-Man] series, but It was also completed after the trilogy, and the [Harry Potter-Voldemort] spin-off film in which I starred was very influenced by the [Harry Potter] series, so don’t be afraid and go directly to Warner Pictures. Just now, Warner Pictures will be scared."

After listening to Zhang Nan's suggestion, the third child's resentment immediately dissipated, and his eyes brightened significantly.In fact, there is another reason why the three little ones were fooled by Warner Pictures' words - they were influenced by [Transformers 1].

The reason why the three little ones made a guest appearance in [Transformers 1] was, on the one hand, because they had nothing to do and were invited by Zhang Nan, and on the other hand, they wanted to learn from Zhang Nan's guest appearance in [Harry Potter].

I don’t want to make a spin-off of [Transformers - Three Little Ones], but I also want to make some news.

The result~
The three of them's cameos in "Transformers 1" didn't make any splash at all.

Therefore, Sanxiaozhi directly recognized the huge gap between himself and Zhang Nan, so when Warner Pictures proposed a [Harry Potter-Voldemort] spin-off series and put pressure on them, they were a little unable to bear it.

……

First there was David Morris, then three little ones.

Zhang Nan felt that she was really overworked at the premiere of [Harry Potter 5].

Fortunately, the episode only happened twice, and there were no subsequent stories. Zhang Nan successfully attended the premiere of [Harry Potter 5].

The next day.

The North American box office of [Harry Potter 5] is out on its first day.

$4423.2.

This figure is higher than the US$1 million first-day box office of [Transformers 4420], which is an almost negligible US$3.2.

[Harry Potter 5] won the first-day box office data.

But in many cases, box office data cannot be compared like this.

[Transformers 1] was released in North America on Tuesday, while [Harry Potter 5] was released on Friday. There is a big gap in the single-day box office between the two.

If we really consider it in terms of single-day box office share, [Transformers 1] is even better.

But compared to [Transformers 1] and [Harry Potter 5], we are still considering who has a stronger first-day box office.

Other movies that are still being released in June and July during the summer vacation are thinking about how to struggle to continue to live.

then……

On the Saturday after its release, "Harry Potter 5" once again hit the box office with a box office of 3831 million US dollars.

On the weekend of its third day of release, [Harry Potter 5] continued to hit the box office with a box office of US$2584.1 million.

In its first three days, [Harry Potter 5] grossed US$1.08 million at the box office, firmly ranking first in the North American single-week box office rankings.

In the third week of its release, [Transformers 1], despite being impacted by [Harry Potter 5], still made 5500 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America. While firmly ranking second at the box office, it also positioned itself The North American box office total reached 3.6 million US dollars.

Then a jaw-dropping scene occurred.

In the subsequent single-week box office rankings, from third to tenth, the single-week box office data fell off a cliff, and there was no single-week box office that exceeded [-] million US dollars.

It can be said that the competition between [Transformers 1] and [Harry Potter 5] during the summer vacation in July was like a fight between the boss and the second child in a business war, and the result was that the third child was killed.

No.

The effect is even more terrifying.

[Transformers 1] and [Harry Potter 5] directly eliminated all the follow-up films starting from the third film.
