How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 490: Marvel Studios is a little panicked: Iron Man 2 may not be able to beat Transformers 2

Use his way to counteract his body.

There are many good ideas, but the problem is——

"The schedule we originally set with Mainland China Film Group was the end of March and early April, but the specific time has always been controlled by China Film Group. If we want to confirm the schedule specifically, we need to clear the relationship." Robert Watt said I rubbed my fingers together, the meaning was very clear, I needed funds.

When Bob Brett saw this, his eyes twitched, "You write an application and I will sign it."

……

Mainland.

As the time approached the end of March, Zhang Nan came to the China Film Headquarters Building in Beijing from Longgong Film and Television City, intending to finalize the mainland premiere time of "Transformers 2" with Han Sanpin.

"It's okay to set the date on May 5, and this time I will attend the premiere of [Transformers 1] in the Mainland to build publicity for the movie. In addition, [Transformers 2] is already a co-production, so the delay is confidential. Mr. Yao can't just be perfunctory for a day or two like last time."

Zhang Nan sat in Han Sanpin's office and joked to Han Sanpin.

Han Sanpin smiled when he heard this and didn't say anything. He just brought a glass of water to Zhang Nan and then continued: "It starts in two months. If the situation is good, it can be done in three months. I promise, but... Director Zhang , are you having a conflict with Disney?"

Zhang Nan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, a little confused, "How do you say that?"

"A few days ago, Disney wanted to confirm the mainland schedule of [Alice in Wonderland], and then I took a look at the schedule, and it was on the Monday of the first week of the release of [British Showdown] that you invested in. I was playing in North America before I learned it. With that method, do you want Huaying to adjust the schedule?" Han Sanpin explained clearly, breaking up the contradiction.

When Zhang Nan heard Han Sanpin's last well-intentioned suggestion, he shook his head: "No, the [British Showdown] project was originally designed as a gift for Brother Chenglong to sign the contract with me.

The cost was only tens of millions of US dollars, and now it has made a huge profit thanks to the global box office. I just let the mainland box office take its course, and it doesn’t matter. "

Hearing Zhang Nan say these words in a calm tone, Han Sanpin was quite convinced.

Because judging from Zhang Nan's performance over the years, "British Showdown" with a box office of [-] to [-] million US dollars is indeed not very popular with Zhang Nan.

"Okay, listen to you, I'm just telling you that there is such a thing." Han Sanpin said frankly.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Nan also said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Han, for the reminder."

After some small talk, the matter was settled, and Zhang Nan walked out of Huaying and got into the car.

I immediately called Old Luke.

"Luke, how come your brother-in-law is working at Disney? Disney is trying to keep us silent? [Pirates of the Caribbean 4] Does Disney still want to film it?" Zhang Nan looked completely different from Han Sanpin. Attitude.

Because letting Han Sanpin settle this matter would be a waste of favors and not worth it.

Old Luke on the other side of the phone was a little confused.

"I don't know. I'll call my brother-in-law and ask him." Old Luke said a little naively.

Zhang Nan directly refused and said: "Now spanking is of no use. Everything has been settled. Doesn't your sister love you? Just call your sister to complain and ask her to give your brother-in-law more strength at night. Let's fight tooth for tooth." An eye for an eye and blood for blood comes back with vengeance.”

"Okay, I'll call right now."

Old Luke followed Zhang Nan's instructions and called his sister.

good results.

Old Luke's sister on the other side of the phone has already made an agreement with Old Luke in advance that the family dinner next week will either be suspended or go to the hospital.

……

end of March.

[Alice in Wonderland] was successfully released on the last Monday at the end of March without Zhang Nan's obstruction.

But it didn't do as well at the box office as Disney Pictures president Bob Brett expected.It's not that Zhang Nan used any tricks, it's mainly that the movie style of "Alice in Wonderland" doesn't quite match the mainland movie-viewing aesthetic.

In particular, Johnny Depp's gothic crazy makeup and performance highlight this situation.

Of course.

Since the special effects of the movie are still online, the box office performance of the entire movie in the mainland is quite acceptable.

It made nearly [-] million yuan in box office in the first week.

The [British Showdown] performed well under Zhang Nan's care.

In the movie, Chenglong's performance changed from his previous comedy style, which impressed the mainland audience.

Coupled with the quality certification of the film's global box office of more than 3 million US dollars.

The first four days of "British Showdown" changed the previous situation of being beaten by "Alice in Wonderland" in major movies and TV shows around the world.

But it was reversed.

[Alice in Wonderland] was destroyed by [British Showdown].

……

finally.

When the time comes to mid to late April.

The box office potential of "British Showdown" and "Alice in Wonderland" in the Mainland has basically been released.

[Alice in Wonderland] has a box office of more than 2 million yuan, which translates into more than 3000 million US dollars, but it failed to make its global box office cross the billion dollar threshold.

The mainland box office of "British Showdown" was more than 3 million yuan and close to [-] million yuan, which made the global box office of "British Showdown" exceed [-] million US dollars.

For a time, the changes in the global box office of "The Showdown" caused major film and television groups around the world, especially Hollywood, to turn their attention to the mainland film market.

Without it.

The mainland film market's box office performance and the benefits shown in "The Battle of England" have already attracted many people.

But if someone is tempted, naturally someone is worried.

For example, Marvel Studios is worried about the situation of its new work-[Iron Man 2].

Because [Iron Man 2] was originally scheduled to be released in May, it was originally intended to be paired with [Jurassic World 2]. There are quite a lot of differences between the two, one is a machine and the other is a dinosaur.

But now everyone is a mechanical transformation.

Then the problem is coming.

Which one will the audience watch?
The director and producer of [Iron Man 2] looked at Zhang Nan in [Transformers 2]. He didn't say anything, but he already had the answer in his heart.

"It just so happens that there are scenes in [Thor] and [Captain America] that require Zhang Nan to make a cameo. We might as well ask Zhang Nan to help adjust the schedule while we are filming Zhang Nan. Isn't it that he did a pretty good job last year? ? They just staggered [Pirates of the Caribbean 3], [Harry Potter 6], [Lord of the Rings: Sauron 2] and [Avatar 1], and the results were quite good." Marvel Studios has high tube proposal.

Then someone whispered: "Why do you want to help arrange it?"

Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios, heard these discussions and finally whispered to Jon Favreau, the director of [Iron Man 2]: "The one percent box office dividend cannot exceed [-] percent at most. Three, you follow the two crew members to talk together."

Director Jon Favreau nodded.
