How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 529: The twists and turns of [Guan Yunchang] and the impact of blockbusters [Fast 5]

[Guan Yunchang] During the preparation of this project, it can be said that it went through many twists and turns.

The reason for setting up the project in the first place was simple.

After watching Mr. Xu make "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire", and the box office was pretty good.

After the "Infernal Affairs" series, the directing team of Mai Zhuang, who had not made much progress in their career, committed the old habit of Hong Kong filmmakers (following the trend), became a little itchy, and wrote the script of "Guan Yunchang".

Originally, the two thought it would be easy to attract investment.

After all, the two of them are famous for their work on the [Infernal Affairs] project.

But in fact, the progress of the investment was not as easy as the two expected, but rather difficult.

Without it.

Investors from all walks of life are not stupid. Over the years, they have seen the continuous failure of costume blockbusters and losses.

In desperation, the two had no choice but to invite Zhen Zhuan, who had just reached the top of the A-list artist with "Ip Man 2", to play the protagonist of the project, hoping to gain investment by increasing the cast lineup.

Although the operation is old-fashioned, the effect is really good.

Soon the [Guan Yunchang] project received a total investment of 100 million yuan from investors such as the Magic City Film Group and Huizhou Television Station.

Since the producers are all mainland capital, the "Guan Yunchang" project had no choice but to recruit Jiang Wen, a mainland artist, to play an important role.

then……

After Zhen Zhenzhuang became famous through the "Ip Man" series, he began to like to become a drama tyrant and change the script. This will be clearly revealed in "Special Identity", and Zhao Wenzhuo was so angry that he quit the project.

Needless to say, Jiang Wen, who bullied Lu San to tears during the filming of "Looking for the Gun", could only be considered as a little aggressive. Jiang Wen, who had faced off against Zhang Yimou, was not afraid of bullets.

So the drama tyrants met the drama tyrants, and the entire "Guan Yunchang" crew was very "lively" during the filming process.

There were constant news about quarrels and conflicts between various leading actors, which made the director team of Mai Zhuang a little exhausted.

Let's say that.

After the original time and space [Guan Yunchang], Maizhuang Group has never touched the costume film project again, which shows the harm caused by the [Guan Yunchang] project to Maizhuang Group.

Originally, with [Guan Yunchang]'s frequent negative news, the box office was bound to be buoyant after its release.

but……

At the end of 2010, Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" was a box office hit and his fame soared.

[Guan Yunchang] The project has an extra superstar starring out of thin air, which directly wipes out the many negative news in the past.

no way.

The film and television industry is like this, there is no good or bad or right or wrong, only public opinion and fame.

……

The box office on the first day was 1420.8 million yuan.

The box office in the first six days was 1.04 million yuan.

[Guan Yunchang] directly overturned [A Chinese Ghost Story], and incidentally also buried [Warring States] at the box office of 7500 million yuan.

It can be said that it was in the limelight for a while.

Jiang Wen also made people feel his latest box office appeal for the first time since "Let the Bullets Fly", and he has truly reached the level of a superstar.

……

Hong Kong. In the mansion where Li Jiaxin and Zhou Huimin communicate with each other.

Zhang Nan stood tremblingly. Li Jiaxin and Zhou Huimin on both sides were arranging his leader and shoelaces. Zhou Huimin was standing and Li Jiaxin was squatting.

The cooperation between Li Jiaxin and Zhou Huimin was very smooth and smooth, and they quickly arranged Zhang Nan's clothes.

But this tacit cooperation between the two was achieved by Zhang Nan's great efforts in nutrition, physical strength and health.

"Can't we stay for two more days?" Li Jiaxin, who had arranged Zhang Nan's shoes, stood up and asked a little reluctantly, because Zhou Huimin next to her already had two lines, but she missed the target.

Zhang Nan was trembling after hearing this, and said somewhat hypocritically: "[Fast and Furious 5] is Lin Yishan's first time directing a top-level blockbuster, and it is also Liu Tianwang's first Hollywood film after signing the contract. I really can't put it down."

This is naturally nonsense.

The confrontation between Zhang Nan and Hollywood giants, although on the surface it is only Warner Pictures.

But that was just Zhang Nan not continuing to test the attitudes of other companies in order to have some room for relaxation in the future.

However, several other Hollywood giants who have collaborated with Zhang Nan have already vaguely expressed their attitudes by remaining silent during the preparation of subsequent series of projects.

But if Zhang Nan stops talking nonsense now, Li Jiaxin will have to pull some strings on him later.

But after staying in Xiangjiang for almost two weeks, Zhang Nan's newly recuperated body really couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhang Nan also thought about resisting.

But with Li Jiaxin’s appearance and ability that makes all the rich ladies in Hong Kong sleepless at night, there is also a little Jewish Zhou Huimin next to her, plus the blessing of sexy clothing that has developed rapidly over the years.

Zhang Nan really can't bear it!

So when Zhang Nan received the invitation to the [Fast and Furious 5] premiere, he didn't care about the secret confrontation with Paramount and directly agreed.
-

4 month 29 day.

[Fast and Furious 5] held a grand premiere.

After Paramount got the news that Zhang Nan was coming, they gave Zhang Nan face and held the movie premiere at the Huaguo Grand Theater, which Zhang Nan liked.

But Zhang Nan didn't care about this. After hurriedly walking down the red carpet, he came to his seat and sat down.

Before the change, there must have been executives from Paramount who came up to talk to Zhang Nan about either the new sequel of "Transformers" or some other new projects, hoping that Zhang Nan could star in it.

But now Paramount executives couldn't avoid Zhang Nan, so they asked Zhang Nan's own people, Lin Yishan and Liu Tianwang, who were contracted at Longbow Pictures, to entertain Zhang Nan.

"A bit nervous?" Zhang Nan asked Lin Yishan, who looked quite serious.

Lin Yishan nodded, smiled a little stressed, and said: "A real investment of 1.25 million US dollars!"

The original "Fast and Furious" series had a production fee of only 3800 million US dollars, making it a junior among B-movies.

Then after a small hit at the box office, Universal increased its investment in the "Fast and Furious" series. Counting Zhang Nan's expensive guest appearance, the total investment barely broke through the threshold of hundreds of millions of dollars for a major production.

But everyone knows it.

The actual investment in the "Fast and Furious" series is only 70 to 80 million US dollars, which is not enough to meet the threshold of a major Hollywood production.

Then the "Fast and Furious" series was taken over by Lin Yishan. The box office of several films was quite stable, and he also accumulated a lot of fans and fame.

The "Fast and Furious 1.25" with an investment of US$5 million is an attempt for the "Fast and Furious" series to hit the top Hollywood blockbusters.

It became.

Lin Yishan directly transformed into a first-line Hollywood director, and his career is expected to reach the position of the world's top commercial film director.

lost.

Then Lin Yishan will have to settle down a little more.
