Chapter 419 [The Bourne Supremacy 3]: Following the trend and surpassing the original
It's still January 8.

Compared with those who are paying attention to [Transformers 1] in the mainland, Paramount and Wall Street financial institutions have obtained the two-day extension key.

Zhang Nan asked for leave again and attended the premiere of "The Bourne Supremacy".

After walking the red carpet, Zhang Nan enthusiastically greeted Matt Damon, who was standing at the end of the red carpet, and said, "It was a huge hit at the box office!"

Matt Damon happily accepted Zhang Nan's congratulations, and even joked back: "There seems to be no movie in which you guest-starred that didn't sell well at the box office!"

Although the words were meant as a joke, Matt Damon really envied the BUFF of a box office mascot like Zhang Nan.

Of course.

What Matt Damon envies even more is Zhang Nan's terrifying box office appeal in starring movies.

Matt Damon has never had a deep understanding of this before.

But this year, through the box office results of "Ocean's Thirteen", Matt Damon felt it deeply.

It was directly strangled by [Transformers 1].

Fortunately, he was an important supporting role in "Ocean's Thirteen", and although "Ocean's Thirteen" was strangled by "Transformers 1", it was almost a month after "Ocean's Thirteen" was released. occurring.

Moreover, the production cost of "Ocean's Thirteen" was well controlled. The entire cost of "Ocean's Thirteen" was only US$8500 million.

Therefore, although the subsequent box office of "Ocean's Thirteen" has been affected, the project has already made a profit.

The two stood at the end of the red carpet and chatted for a while, letting the surrounding media take a few photos, and then Zhang Nan walked towards the screening room.

……

Inside the theater.

Zhang Nan's seat was arranged next to Tosh Kramer, president of Universal Pictures, the producer of [The Bourne Supremacy].

"open."

As soon as Tosh Kramer saw Zhang Nan coming over, he gave a warm greeting.

When Zhang Nan saw this, he also put on a smile and responded enthusiastically.

It's impossible not to be enthusiastic.

Because if we really talk about it, his current cooperation with Universal Pictures is more in-depth than other Hollywood giants.

Because except for one [Jurassic World] series.

The director he signed, Lin Yishan, is also directing Universal Pictures' "Fast and Furious" series.

So when Tosh Kramer steered the topic toward "Jurassic World 2" while chatting, Zhang Nan couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Tosh, there is no problem for me to continue starring in the [Jurassic World 2] project, but the director is Steven. He has been busy filming [Raiders of the Lost Ark 4] for the past two years and can't get away. It’s really impossible to film without a director,” Zhang Nan said sincerely.

Tosh Kramer nodded slightly in approval when he heard this, and then asked tentatively: "How about you try directing?"

After hearing Tosh Kramer's words, Zhang Nan knew that Universal Pictures couldn't bear it anymore because Paramount was making a lot of money from [Transformers 1], which he directed and starred in.

But in response to this suggestion, Zhang Nan shook his head and his face blurred.

Let me try?
[Jurassic World] is Spielberg's retirement series. If he dares to try it, Spielberg will dare to break up with him.

Fortunately, Tosh Kramer just asked tentatively.

After all, if Zhang Nan is replaced as the director of "Jurassic World", he will also offend a great director like Spielberg, which is a bit irrational.

Seeing Zhang Nan's reaction was so intense, Tosh Kramer stopped talking about inappropriate content in the follow-up, and the premiere of "The Bourne Supremacy" passed away in a calm and old-fashioned process.

……

8 month 4 day.

Friday.

The first-day box office data of [The Bourne Supremacy] is out.

$2466.8.

This is a pretty good start for a series that cost 1.55 million US dollars (1.25 million in the original time and space, and 3000 million in guest fees from Zhang Nan in this time and space).

But if we want to compare like-for-like, compare it with the representative spy film released last year - "Mission: Impossible 3".

So the single-day box office of "The Bourne Supremacy" was US$3 million, compared to the US$2466.8 million of "The Bourne Supremacy", which is a bit of a dazzling one.Because both of them are released during the summer vacation and both are on Friday.

This single-day box office gap of 800 million US dollars is really a lot.

And then September 8th.

Saturday.

[The Bourne Supremacy] collected another US$3 million the next day, and the single-day box office did not fall but rose. Of course, basically movies released on Friday will have an increase in box office on Saturday. This is normal.

The last date is August 8th.

weekend.

[The Bourne Supremacy] once again took in a box office of US$3 million on the last day of its first week.

In the first three days, [The Bourne Supremacy] directly took in a box office of 3 million U.S. dollars, which is close to 6928.2 million U.S. dollars.

Topped the North American single-week box office rankings.

It also surpassed the $3 million first-week box office of "Mission: Impossible 4800" and was close to $2200 million.

Most importantly.

The box office data of "The Bourne Supremacy" was achieved under the pressure of "Transformers 3" and "Harry Potter 1".

Under such circumstances, the Hollywood media, who like to make trouble, have begun to stir up trouble on the topic of spy movies.

Topics such as the original (Mission: Impossible) being overturned by the follower (The Bourne Supremacy), Tom Cruise losing to Matt Damon... and other topics began to appear in the media, which made Tom Cruise quite uncomfortable.

Of course, these have little to do with Zhang Nan.

After Zhang Nan attended the premiere of "The Bourne Supremacy", she immediately returned to the set of "Harry Potter - Voldemort" and filmed for two more days on the set before August 3th. During the premiere of "Moment 8", my role in "Harry Potter-Voldemort" ended and it was officially completed.

Of course, only Zhang Nan’s scene has been completed, and the entire [Harry Potter-Voldemort] crew will continue filming.

At the finale banquet.

Since Johnny Depp finished filming earlier than Zhang Nan, Zhang Nan had no choice but to invest crazily in favors for Robert Downey Jr., who is still at a low point in his career.

"Downey, you are talented. As long as you can completely get rid of your previous bad habits, those past hardships will make you stronger." Zhang Nan said, holding Robert Downey Jr.'s shoulders.

Robert Downey Jr. would definitely be unhappy if someone else spoke to him like this.

I was shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Actor at the age of 27. Do you think I have any talent?
But for Zhang Nan, who became famous at the age of 26 and has never failed to star in a movie since her debut. During this period, she even won an Oscar for her commercial films and is now the No. 1 actor in Hollywood.

Robert Downey Jr. still couldn't help but be angry. Instead, he nodded frequently, with a look on his face that he had learned a lot from what you said.

When Zhang Nan saw that the heat was almost up, he stopped chatting and directly exposed his main purpose.

"I heard that you starred in a comic book movie?" Zhang Nan asked.

Robert Downey Jr. nodded quickly when he heard this and introduced: "Marvel's [Iron Man]."

"Tell me when it's released, and I'll go to the premiere to support you." Zhang Nan said straightforwardly.

Zhang Nan plans to make contact with Marvel Studios through "Iron Man".

After all, the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe has a box office of more than 300 billion US dollars.

And without this method, he really wouldn't be able to contact Marvel Studios.

Because compared to later generations, the situation of Marvel Studios at this time is simply different in the sky and on the earth, and the gap with him is too big.

Contact without a reasonable reason would be too abrupt.

Robert Downey Jr. on the side initially thought Zhang Nan was being polite to him.

But when they heard Zhang Nan said that he was coming to support the premiere of his new film, everyone was stunned.

After reacting, Robert Downey Jr.'s eyes were a little red.

Without it.

Although he has turned back as a prodigal son over the years, most people's opinions of him are still very bad.

It is unbearable for anyone to suddenly receive free help from a top celebrity like Zhang Nan.
