Chapter 479: Watching Avatar, Three Guns Are Coming

North America.

In the screening room of the [-]th Century Fox office building.

Zhang Nan, James Cameron and 3th Century Fox Pictures President Odo Ryder all wore [-]D glasses and sat side by side in the most suitable viewing position.

What is being shown on the big screen is the edited 3D version of [Avatar].

The whole story is 162 minutes, nearly three hours long.

It’s hard to say how you feel after reading this, but for people with poor prostate health, they will definitely feel like they can’t hold back their urine.

"Cameron, do you want to learn the method of [Rebirth] and do it for such a long time so that you can reshoot it?" Zhang Nan said to James Cameron.

James Cameron hasn't spoken yet, but Odo Leide, the president of [-]th Century Fox, felt excited when he heard what Zhang Nan said.

The operations of the [Doomsday Survival] and [Doomsday Rebirth] series are very coveted by many Hollywood film and television companies.

If [Avatar] can follow the path of [Rebirth], then the investment of US$[-] million in the past five years will not be considered a loss.

But Odolade's heart wasn't even hot yet, when James Cameron replied.

"I haven't thought about it in the series, how could I think of that, and...this subject matter and story are not suitable for that kind of operation."

Hearing James Cameron's answer, Zhang Nan had no reaction, but Odolade was a little angry.

However, Odolade also knows that it is too early to talk about sequels and rebirths. If this first movie fails at the box office, it will be useless to talk about anything.

"Zhang, what do you think of the quality of [Avatar]?" Odolade asked Zhang Nan.

However, although Odolade was asking about the quality of the movie, everyone could tell. What he wanted to know more was Zhang Nan's prediction of the box office of "Avatar".

Because Zhang Nan has accurately predicted the box office of many movies over the years, coupled with his undefeated record, no one has any doubts about Zhang Nan's vision.

“The quality is certainly top notch.”

Zhang Nan followed Odolade's mood and praised "Avatar".

There is no way not to praise it.

[Avatar] This 3D special effect is currently at the top level in the world.

However, Zhang Nan also knew that this was not what Odolaide wanted to hear, so he continued: "There is definitely no problem if the box office exceeds one billion US dollars. Besides, even if it doesn't break, won't I still have my gambling agreement to cover it?"

Odolade: "..."
-
After watching the film and hearing Zhang Nan's 'guarantee', Odolade set the release date of [Avatar] on December 12th.

Then they started to activate all the promotional channels of [-]th Century Fox to promote [Avatar], and the momentum was huge.

Of course.

The reason why [Avatar] has such a huge momentum is partly because the timing of mid-December is so good.

"The Lord of the Rings - Legend of Sauron 11" was released in early November. After more than a month of screening, the daily box office has dropped below one million US dollars, and it has basically lost its popularity.

"A Christmas Carol" starring Jim Carrey, which was released on November 11, was crushed by "The Lord of the Rings: Sauron 6" and was beaten by being too long and outdated. The daily box office was even worse, both at 2. +The U.S. dollar is hovering and is about to enter the drawdown stage.

之后11月13日上映的【大侦探福尔摩斯】，在被【指环王-索伦传2】的头铁攻击，和11月20日上映的【暮光之城2】狙击下，基本上已经和【圣诞颂歌】成为难兄难弟了。

And "The Twilight Saga" is originally a movie that fans want, and it only gained popularity for a week or two in total. At this time, the situation is even bleaker than the daily box office of "A Christmas Carol" and "Sherlock Holmes".

Currently, the only film that is still somewhat active in the North American film market is [2012], which has been postponed to the end of November.

But this kind of popcorn commercial film basically releases most of its box office potential in one or two weeks. After "Avatar" is released, it basically takes a back seat and has little impact on "Avatar". .

Throughout December, [Avatar] could be said to have no rivals.On the other hand, it is James Cameron's personal box office appeal.

Since "Titanic" in 1998, James Cameron has basically not directed a movie independently.

It’s now the end of 2009.

This is more than a year, almost two years longer than the ten years it takes to sharpen a sword.

Fans' expectations will explode as long as [-]th Century Fox hypes it up a little bit.

What's more, [-]th Century Fox didn't just do a little bit of manipulation, but went all out.

[Avatar]’s popularity doesn’t matter.

But just as [-]th Century Fox was building momentum for "Avatar", the mainland film and television industry also ushered in big moves.

……

12 month 10 day.

Another masterpiece of Zhang Yimou - "Three Guns Surprise" was grandly released in the Mainland.

Fancy makeup, red and green costumes, and a two-person cast.

Fans who have watched the entire movie will only feel that the three shots in the movie's title have hit their bodies, and the distribution method is two shots for the eyes and one shot for the brain.

a time.

The negative reviews and insults about "Three Guns Surprise" began to skyrocket.

However, due to the previous movie promotion and Zhang Yimou's remaining box office appeal, the box office of "Three Guns" is still rising steadily.

Four days.

In just four days, the box office of "Three Guns" exceeded [-] million.

On the surface it looks successful.

But Zhang Yimou knows that the current gains are based on damaging reputation and overdrawing the future.

So I immediately found my partner Zhang Weiping.

"Weiping, it's just this once, don't do this next time, and I won't take on similar projects." Zhang Yimou's tone was serious.

Zhang Weiping was very perfunctory, so he agreed with his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart.

……

12 month 17 day.

The reputation of "Three Guns" has been completely rotten, and then Xiangjiang Pictures, which went north, began to release "The Storm 2" and "October Siege" in advance in an attempt to snipe "Three Guns".

It can only be said that the people at Xiangjiang Pictures have the right idea, because this is indeed a good time to snipe "Three Guns to Shoot the Crime". If the operation is good, they can directly take advantage of Zhang Yimou and "Three Guns to Shoot the Crime". Eat a piece of meat.

But the problem is...

[Three-Gun Shooting Surprise] Yes, Zhang Yimou's reputation has indeed plummeted to the bottom.

but--

Over the years, the reputation of Xiangjiang Film has not been any better than that of Zhang Yimou now!
