Chapter 440 [Rebirth 2] Shock coming to North America

After dealing with Zhou Jie's withdrawal attitude, the premiere of "Rebirth 2" has almost entered the movie viewing stage.

Zhang Nan walked to the big screen according to the procedure and gave the final speech to the guests in the audience.

If it's a mainland box office, you can still look forward to it. Zhang Nan might even make some hot topics in this segment.

But now it is clear from Han Sanpin that the release of "Rebirth 2" in the mainland will be restricted due to the subject matter.

Zhang Nan had no reason to expend such effort. He just said a few simple and routine words and then stepped down.

But Zhang Nan's attitude was average. Except for Zhang Yimou, who had no time to attend the premiere because the Olympics were approaching, other directors such as Feng Xiaogang, Chen Wuji, Chen Straw Hat, Zhou Xingxing... etc., but They all focused their attention.

no way.

Everyone wants to learn something from the sequel to the first movie that grossed $20 billion at the global box office.

Especially for this director in the current Chinese-language film circle, once a big production is made, the box office begins to shrink.

Needless to say, [-]% to [-]% to learn something that looks good, or [-]% to [-]% to have a bottle that is less than half full.

Even if you only learn [-]%, one-tenth, that is the level of [-] million US dollars in the world!

then……

The movie begins.

And when "Rebirth 2" ended more than an hour later, all the moviegoers had confused expressions on their faces.

What the hell did I see?
What the hell is this a new movie?

It’s similar to the horse-riding [Doomsday Survival 1]!

Even compared with [Doomsday Survival 1], this [Doomsday Rebirth 2] seems a bit like a work that was not even copied.

因为【末日重生1】的剧情是在【末日求生1】的前九10分钟，而【末日重生2】则是又把【末日求生1】的原版剧情完后推了九10分钟。

Of course.

Some new plots to make up for regrets have been added.

But there are really not many plots to make up for regrets.

However, some people were confused, and some people saw their own understanding from it.

For example, Straw Hat Chen could not help but sigh in his heart when he saw that the picture in "Rebirth 2" was almost the same as that of the original "Survival 1".
This is a high-end way to make a fortune from the crew!

His method of making money by raising prices and receiving rebates during filming was really a bit too low and too tiring.

Accounting is required during operation, and you have to be shameless if you are discovered.

Look at Zhang Nan's method of directly using scenes from old movies in new movies without even having to shoot them, but he still got a lot of money!
Chen Straw Hat is very concerned about the US$2 million production fee of "Rebirth 2", so as soon as the screening of "Rebirth 2" ended, he began to mentally calculate the cost of "Rebirth [-]", and he still has the specific figures. I haven’t calculated it, but it definitely won’t cost $[-] million.

Another example is Chen Wuji.

After being criticized by the audience for the plot of the movie being a mess, and after experiencing the failure of "The Promise", it is not that he did not listen to the audience's advice. After being quiet for a while, the new movie directly aimed at the subject of biographies of famous figures.

I don’t write scripts anymore. I just use real experiences to write scripts, and they are the experiences of well-known figures. You can’t criticize me! (In fact, the plot of "Mei Lanfang" is indeed not that exciting - at least it is better than "The Promise" - but "Mei Lanfang" is really not very good to watch.)
After watching "Rebirth 2", Chen Wuji felt that his choice of materials had been opened.

Biographies of well-known figures are always limited, but if an old movie is remade with a different name, the future seems brighter!
Only Zhou Xingxing, who had a conversation with Zhang Nan before the premiere, had mixed feelings in his heart, and also had the idea of ​​returning to Longbow Film and Television to cooperate. At this time, after watching "Rebirth 2", he was a little concerned and followed Zhang Nan asked: "Director Zhang, when [Doomsday Rebirth 1] was played, the [Doomsday Survival] series had just ended, and fans were relatively enthusiastic. Now it's 2008, and [Doomsday Rebirth 2] is still doing this, will fans still do it?" Do you buy it?"

Will you buy it?
Other movies certainly don't.You see, even the [Terminator] series, [Star Wars] series... and other well-known series, the first sequel after the reboot has a high box office, and then it becomes less and less good.

This is the inevitable result of fans’ enthusiasm being constantly consumed.

But... Zhang Nan's "Rebirth" series is not just a project that only relies on the enthusiasm of fans, but has directly generated a box office appeal of 25 billion US dollars.

No more enthusiasm.

I directly put the golden finger of 25 billion box office appeal into your mind, and movie fans around the world can't do it even if they don't have enthusiasm.

"I don't know if I will buy it now. Let's see the box office of tomorrow's movie!" Zhang Nan couldn't directly blame me. Fans wouldn't buy it, and some people would buy it, so he could only respond modestly.

……

It’s the night of February 2th here in the mainland, and it’s the morning of February 16th here in North America.

Although Zhang Nan did not attend the North American premiere of "Rebirth 2".

But Paramount still managed the scene well and attracted many stars to support it.

Then Dick Frank, the president of Paramount, began to stay in his office, waiting for the box office data of "Rebirth 2".

And instead of just waiting, he asked his subordinates to continuously pass the statistical data from the theaters to him in real time.

The delivery time is almost two hours to update, which is similar to the time of each wave of screenings of "Rebirth 2". After all, there is still time for statistics.

then……

The box office of the first wave of "The End of Days 2" on its opening day in North America, the data sent is about 2000 million US dollars.

Dick Frank gritted his teeth. This data was a bit beyond his expectation.

Then came the second wave of the North American premiere box office of "Rebirth" two hours later. The data dropped slightly, only 1500 million US dollars, but it was still very scary.

Because many movies may not have so many box office on their opening day.

And in just two waves of screenings, the cumulative box office of "Rebirth 2" has already reached 3500 million US dollars.

What is this concept?
Let's put it this way, the first-day box office of "The Bourne Supremacy" and "Rush Hour 3" in North America were not that big, only more than 3 million, a difference of nearly 600 million US dollars.

But it's not over yet.

Another two hours passed, and another wave of box office data for "Rebirth 2" was sent.

then.

The third wave of data - 1000 million U.S. dollars, with a cumulative box office of more than 4500 million U.S. dollars.

The fourth wave of data - 1800 million U.S. dollars, with a cumulative box office of more than 6300 million U.S. dollars.

……

The seventh wave of data - 1300 million U.S. dollars, with a cumulative box office of 1.1 million U.S. dollars.

……

The last wave of data - 1500 million U.S. dollars, with a cumulative box office of 1.58 million U.S. dollars.
