How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 530 In the intense 2011 North American summer vacation, [Fast 5] was beaten to the point of shutting down in North America.

"If it fails at the box office, it doesn't matter. The company has made a lot of film and television investments in the mainland in recent years." Zhang Nan gave Lin Yishan a guarantee.

Lin Yishan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

But this topic was always a bit unlucky, so Zhang Nan changed the subject and asked, "How is Liu Tianwang's performance on the set?"

In [Fast and Furious 5], the role assigned by Zhang Nan to Liu Tianwang was to replace Dwayne Johnson.

Because Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson joined the "Fast and Furious" series in "Fast and Furious 5", and the role is still a federal policeman, and his positioning is more upright, which fits Liu Tianwang's character very well.

Of course.

In the end, the character went through some minor modifications. After all, the difference between Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's figure and Liu Tianwang's is indeed a bit big.

But Zhang Nan feels that this change is quite beneficial, because before he was reborn, he often confused Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel when watching the "Fast and Furious" series.

Without it.

The images of the two are too similar, both are muscular men, both have bald heads, and their styles are too similar.

"The acting skills are on point and quite high-level."

Lin Yishan echoed Zhang Nan, praised Liu Tianwang a few times, and then asked in a different direction: "He told me that after filming [Fast and Furious 5], he went to the set of [Mission: Impossible 4], you Arranged?"

"if not?"

Zhang Nan shrugged, "Not everyone can get a film contract for a Hollywood blockbuster for no reason, but this time the film contract for [Mission: Impossible 4] was also a coincidence. In order to fully control [Mission: Impossible], Tom Cruise series, it took a lot of money to get it from Paramount, and then I had no money, so I came to invest."

At the end of his words, Zhang Nan suddenly realized that Lin Yishan had nothing to mention the reason why Liu Tianwang joined the team of "Mission: Impossible 4".

This is when I heard that he invested in [Mission: Impossible 4], and got a film contract for Liu Tianwang, and wanted to try to see if he could direct [Mission: Impossible 4].

After all, with the [Mission: Impossible 4] project in hand, even if [Fast and Furious 5] fails, Lin Yishan still has a chance to make a fortune.

but……

"If you have any ideas, please tell me earlier. This family's movie is almost finished filming and will be released in December. It is impossible to change the director temporarily now." Zhang Nan looked at Lin Yishan after reacting and asked.

Lin Yishan was speechless and regretful when he saw this and said: "I only thought of this later."

"Even if I thought of this from the beginning, I probably wouldn't be able to do it. Tom Cruise has paid too much for the dominance of the [Mission: Impossible] series. I can almost push his bottom line by getting a supporting role. The director is so It's impossible for him to let the person I recommend take the position.

And this "Mission: Impossible 4" is very important to Tom Cruise's personal acting career. He will definitely only believe in his own vision, so don't regret it. "Zhang Nan explained comfortingly to the speechless Lin Yishan.

Lin Yishan also understood the situation of Tom Cruise in Zhang Nan's words and nodded slightly, feeling less regretful in his heart.

But at this moment Zhang Nan spoke again.

“But [Mission: Impossible 4] is hopeless, but if [Mission: Impossible 4] is successful, then [Mission: Impossible 5] is very promising for you.

At that time, I will try my best to operate it for you. Although the current film and television market in the Mainland is booming and growing, it is still a bit small for you. It is better to stay in Hollywood. "

Zhang Nan's words are really not nonsense.

Because the director of "Mission: Impossible 5" is Christopher McQuarrie, although "Mission: Impossible 5.6" and "Edge of Tomorrow" were both directed by him.

But those were all projects after 2014. It’s only 2011 now, and the resume gap between him and Lin Yishan is still obvious.

If Zhang Nan really recommends Lin Yishan to Tom Cruise after "Mission: Impossible 4", there is a high probability of success.

After hearing what Zhang Nan said, Lin Yishan became excited again.
-

The next day, Saturday, June 4.

The North American box office of [Fast and Furious 5] is out on its first day. With 3644 theaters, it grossed a box office of US$3439.9 million in a single day, accounting for % of the box office in the North American movie market on a single day.

There is no doubt that it became the box office champion of the day.

Then there was US$2993.5 million on Saturday the next day, and US$2186.3 million on Sunday.

First three days.

[Fast and Furious 5] grossed more than 8600 million US dollars at the box office, which can be said to be the first shot of the 2011 North American summer vacation.

But after all, it was released in late April or early May.

The scorching temperature of the summer vacation has not yet risen, and the movie-watching atmosphere is not strong enough. When the time comes to the next working week, the single-day box office of "Fast and Furious 5" has experienced a drop that is even more terrifying than being cut in half.

On Monday the following week, "Fast and Furious 5" only took in US$623.1 million in the North American movie market.

Compared with Sunday’s US$2186.3 million, the drop was as high as %.

But fortunately, after this wave of decline, [Fast and Furious 5] stabilized its plummeting trend, and scored US$615.8 million in box office in a single day on Tuesday the following week.

On the following Wednesday and Thursday of the following week, [Fast and Furious 5] continuously and steadily won a box office of 462.7 million U.S. dollars and a box office of 411.7 million U.S. dollars.

So far, the North American box office of "Fast and Furious 5" has exceeded million.

However, [Fast and Furious 5], which finally lasted for three days over the weekend, faced its first rival during the summer vacation - Marvel Studios, which produced and distributed Paramount, and whose production cost was lower than [Fast and Furious 5]. 1.25 million is a head higher than [Thor].

And compared with [Fast and Furious 5] where only Zhang Nan attended the premiere.

[Thor] But not only Zhang Nan’s presence, but also Zhang Nan’s cameo, and the weak attraction of the series just starting - the Marvel Cinematic Universe is like a TV series, and it will make people addicted like a TV series, but only at this time There were three movies [Iron Man 1.2] and [The Incredible Hulk], which were like three-episode TV series with weak appeal.

then……

In the three days of the following weekend, [Fast and Furious 5] only made 3100 million U.S. dollars at the box office in the North American movie market, which was not even half of the three-day weekend of the first weekend. The cumulative box office only reached 1.4 million U.S. dollars.

It can be said that [Fast and Furious 5] is nothing special in the North American movie market.

Because I only faced one [Thor], I fell into this state of decline, but the movie will be released during the summer vacation in North America, which will not stop.

Really, the only way to avoid hundreds of punches is to hit him with one punch.

If you can't do that, then prepare for constant punches!

And it is true.

On May 5, Warner's "The Hangover 16" will be released.

On May 5, DreamWorks’ [Kung Fu Panda 28] was released.

On June 6, 3th Century Fox’s [X-Men: First Class] was released.

[Fast and Furious 5]'s box office popularity in North American movie theaters was directly dampened by this series of punches.

Of course.

Those who played [Fast and Furious 5], [Thor], [The Hangover 2], [Kung Fu Panda 2], and [X-Men: First Class] also had a hard time.

But this is the highly competitive North American summer vacation season.
