How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 532 [Harry Potter 8] premiere, and Warner Pictures’ design of Zhang Nan

[Fast and Furious 2.51] with a box office of 5 million yuan, [Kung Fu Panda 2.28] with a box office of 2 million yuan...

The whole of May and June was just over a month.

Hollywood blockbusters use the hard power of industrialized films to teach mainland film and television production companies a lesson in the mainland film market.

Then many mainland movies began to adjust their schedules.

In desperation, Han Sanpin had no choice but to move the second part of his "Industry" series - "Party Founding" to mid-June.

Then, relying on all kinds of strong support, "Party Founding" grossed 1.12 million yuan in box office in its first week, which can be said to have diluted the shadow cast by Hollywood blockbusters on the mainland film and television industry in May.

but……

After the North American summer vacation season warmed up in May and June, blockbusters have also begun to enter the theater.

……

7 month 7 day.

London.

As the last film in the Harry Potter series, and there was some trouble between Warner and Zhang Nan, Warner Pictures held the premiere of the film in the UK.

Then the British film and television industry, which has been quite lonely in recent years, has also been quite cooperative. Various publicity channels have directly cooperated, making the premiere of [Harry Potter 8] like a festival.

on the red carpet.

Whenever an actor from [Harry Potter] passes by, even if it is just a small role, the many fans gathered on both sides will burst into enthusiastic cheers.

And when the grown-up three little ones appeared on the stage together with Zhang Nan, the cheers were a bit harsh.

Zhang Nan was okay, after all, he had gotten used to it over the years.

The only thing Zhang Nan was not used to was that the red carpet of Harry Potter 8 was designed to be a bit long, making it impossible for him to walk quickly on the red carpet.

After all, if he walks the entire length of a red carpet at a brisk pace, it will feel like a sports walk.

In this environment, the three little ones felt extremely complicated.

Both happy with the current situation and worried about the future situation.

After all, the three of them are not stupid. They all know the height and popularity of the [Harry Potter] series. I am afraid it will be difficult for them to meet again in this life.

"Zhang, do you think this time [Harry Potter 8] can break the curse of the series' box office not exceeding one billion?" As he was about to finish walking the red carpet, little Harry, who had been following Zhang Nan, looked back at the previous walk. The fans on both sides of the red carpet passed by and asked with some emotion.

[Harry Potter] Needless to say, the status of the main series is absolutely the top series in Hollywood.

The original time and space can be as famous as the [Harry Potter] series, but only the [Star Wars], [Pirates of the Caribbean] and [Marvel Cinematic Universe] series.

The [Lord of the Rings] series are even worse.

Of course.

Now we have the [Doomsday Survival] and [Doomsday Rebirth] series.

But even so, it has little impact on the gold content of the [Harry Potter] series.

Because the top achievements in any industry will not be devalued because of their quantity.

Moreover, [Harry Potter 1-7] has a box office of nearly billion US dollars, with a box office of almost billion yuan, which is also a strong guarantee.

But even with such a high global box office accumulation, the "Harry Potter" series has never exceeded the global threshold of one billion US dollars, becoming the same as in the movie: No one can serve as a black magic teacher at Hogwarts for a year. Another curse that is as famous as the above-the [Harry Potter] main series cannot break through the global box office of one billion US dollars.

"Don't worry, we will make a breakthrough this time." Zhang Nan gave the grown-up little Harry a positive reply without hesitation.

But little Harry was stunned by Zhang Nan's affirmative tone, and asked without reacting: "Why?"

"why?"

Zhang Nan repeated Little Harry's inquiry with a proud tone, and then said: "Because this time the salary and treatment I asked Warner Pictures for in [Harry Potter 8] were based on the starring position. And since [Pirates of the Caribbean 2003] in 1, no movie I have starred in has grossed less than one billion U.S. dollars worldwide."

The three little ones were immediately stunned by Zhang Nan's domineering words.

At the same time, my mind began to recall involuntarily the movies Zhang Nan starred in after "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" and their box office results. This process of recalling is not difficult, because every movie with a global box office of more than one billion US dollars is popular enough to be remembered by most people.

12.5亿美金全球票房的【指环王-索伦传1】、16.5亿美金全球票房的【侏罗纪世界1】、10.66亿美金全球票房的【加勒比海盗2】、13.89亿美金全球票房的【变形金刚1】。

There will be follow-ups: [The Last Day 2], [Harry Potter - Voldemort 1], [Avatar 1]...

After thoroughly recalling it, the three little ones were all dissatisfied with the fact that Zhang Nan's salary was higher than the three of them combined.

Without it.

Zhang Nan's hard power is here, and he can't accept it anymore.

But by the time the three little ones recovered from the shock, Zhang Nan had already left in front of the three of them.

……

Inside the theater.

Zhang Nan quickly found Christopher Nolan.

Yes.

Christopher Nolan also attended the premiere of [Harry Potter 8].

After all, as an in-depth co-director of Warner Pictures, his projects are basically invested and distributed by Warner Pictures, and at the same time, he is also British. There is no way for him to premiere the last part of [Harry Potter]. Not here to cheer.

Otherwise it would be too rude.

"Nolan!" Zhang Nan greeted Christopher Nolan from a distance.

Christopher Nolan in the distance turned around when he heard Zhang Nan's voice, apologized to the people around him, and then quickly came to Zhang Nan.

"open."

Christopher Nolan said hello to Zhang Nan, but he looked a little guilty.

Without it.

He has also heard about the subtle confrontation between Zhang Nan and Warner Pictures.

But the two of them are collaborating on the "Inception" project, and the movie will be released soon.

So Christopher Nolan, who was caught in the middle, was quite embarrassed when facing Zhang Nan.

Fortunately, Zhang Nan invited Christopher Nolan over for no other reason.

"Will [Inception] be released during the summer vacation?" Zhang Nan asked.

Nolan shook his head when he heard this, and avoided Warner Pictures in his words, but quietly revealed to Zhang Nan: "No, it will probably be in mid-December."

Zhang Nan was not too surprised by Nolan's shaking of his head. He had even expected it.

After all, Warner can't let its two blockbusters be squeezed into one hot schedule.

So [Harry Potter 8] is scheduled for the summer vacation, and [Inception] naturally has to be placed in other schedules.

However, [Inception] was scheduled for mid-December, which made Zhang Nan a little unhappy.

Without it.

[Mission: Impossible 4], which he invested in Tom Cruise, is scheduled to be released in mid-December.

Then according to the original time and space, "Sherlock Holmes 2" produced by Warner Pictures and starring Robert Downey Jr. will be released in mid-December.

Such a schedule arrangement is very detrimental to Zhang Nan.

On the other hand, "Inception" starring Zhang Nan will play left and right with "Mission: Impossible 4", which he invested in.

On the other side, Warner Pictures used "Inception" and "Sherlock Holmes 2" to encircle Zhang Nan's investment, and Tom Cruise starred in "Mission: Impossible 4".
