Chapter 541 [Legend of White Snake] [Painted Wall] and Neon Roppongi New Place Name

Mainland.

9 month 28 day.

"The Legend of White Snake" starring Li Lianlian, invested by Dali Group, and distributed by Bona Pictures, has officially landed in the mainland film market.

To be honest, Zhang Nan's only impression of the content of this film is that the two female snake spirits are really enchanting, which has changed the image of the characters in the old "White Snake" that Zhang Nan had in mind.

What I know outside of the movie is that the chairman of Dali Group is indeed a slut.

I was stunned to trick Li Lianlian from a guest appearance to a starring role.

You must know that Li Lianlian's current quotation in the mainland is very high.

Let's say that.

"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", which will be released in December at the end of the year, is a direct confrontation with Zhang Yimou's new film "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins". In order to hire Li Lianhe, Mr. Xu offered a salary of 9000 million yuan.

And this was Li Lianlian, who had spent a lot of effort and favors to get him.

Therefore, this operation of Dali Group has saved tens of millions of RMB in production costs from the beginning and reduced the pressure of hundreds of millions of RMB to recover capital.

then……

The box office of "The Legend of White Snake" was RMB 613.7 million on the first day, which shocked many people.

After all, the first-day box office of "Warring States" is still 680.2 million yuan.

Then some people couldn't sit still, and indeed they couldn't sit still.

The next day, September 9th.

The masterpiece invested and distributed by Enlight, which benchmarks and imitates "Painted Skin" and has a production cost of 8000 million yuan - "Painted Wall", was released taking advantage of the situation.

To be honest, Zhang Nan really enjoyed this film.

The name fits the content of the movie very well, it’s called Painted Walls, and there are really a lot of them with walls.

Moreover, although the plot of the movie is empty and has no content, the beautiful woman in it has long sleeves that are fluttering around. She does not look sleepy!

After all, neon love action movies don't have much plot, and everyone even knows the subsequent plot - it's just about entering the engine movement mode.

But for the vast majority of male viewers, beautiful women are something they never tire of.

Such a film, which is suitable for most male audiences, naturally achieved a good first-day box office - 715.1 million yuan, which is a full million yuan higher than the first-day box office of "The Legend of White Snake".

but……

To be honest, this kind of enjoyable movie is not very durable.

And this is indeed the case. In its first week at the box office, "The Legend of White Snake", which was only released one day longer than "Painting on the Wall", took in a first-week box office of 6135.3 million yuan.

But [Painting on the Wall] only managed to take in a first-week box office of 4612.6 million yuan.

The box office gap between more than 20 million and almost 30 million yuan cannot be explained by a difference of one day.

At the same time, "The Wall" is also inferior to "The Legend of White Snake" in terms of box office staying power of subsequent movies.

While "The Legend of White Snake" has been released for more than ten days and can still maintain a single-day box office of more than 10 million yuan, the single-day box office of "Huabi" has dropped to more than 4 million or more than 3 million yuan.

Of course.

If we look at the final box office results and project profitability, [Wall Painting] is better.

Because the investment in [Painted Wall] was only 8000 million yuan, but the box office reached 1.49 million yuan.

But "The Legend of White Snake" cost 1.8 million yuan and earned a box office of 1.78 million yuan.

Comparing the two, [Wall Painting] is more profitable and has a higher rate of return. But this difference is not big, because the profitability of both is negative, and both [Painting Wall 2] and [White Snake Legend 2] are impossible.

Even after the results of the "Legend of White Snake" project, Dali Group has stayed away from investing in large and medium-sized projects in the mainland film market, and has only made small-scale literary films to relieve its boredom.

Without it.

They hired superstars like Li Lianlian for free using routines, but the projects were not profitable. Dali Group really didn’t know how it could continue to make profits on large and medium-sized film and television projects.

But the producers of the two films lost money, but Zhang Nan, an indirect participant, made a small fortune through Yu Entai.

After all, in these two projects, Zhang Nan only paid for Yu Entai's performance time, and there was no other fee.

Moreover, Yu Entai received a fixed salary of 10 million yuan in "The Legend of White Snake", which has already been paid, and there is nothing else involved.

In [Painted Wall], although Yu Entai received 5 million yuan and 5% of the box office share.

Five million yuan of it has already been received, leaving only the 5% box office share. You have to wait until the movie is released before you can start getting money.

Although the movie lost money, Zhang Nan is not too afraid of Enlight Pictures defaulting on its debts or accounting.

After all, the contract was signed in black and white. Secondly, with Zhang Nan’s current influence, Enlight Pictures is not a big-money conglomerate. As long as it still wants to get involved in the film and television industry, it will be impossible to offend it. Zhang Nan.

But these were only small amounts of money, and Zhang Nan didn't care too much. After filming [006], Zhang Nan flew directly to Neon Mission.
-

Neon, Roppongi.

This is a well-known high-end community in Neon, but due to Zhang Nan's manipulation, its reputation is now a bit distorted.

Without it.

Zhang Nan bought so many townhouses here that they cover several streets.

The good people here in Neon even gave these real estate areas with Zhang Nan's name a new place name - Zhang Jun's private film and television red light district.

……

Inside the villa.

In the past, at various neon ceremonies and on TV, the actresses were all wearing great airs, but now their airs are very revealing, making Zhang Nan feel weak.

Because judging from the intentions of these girls, I'm afraid he won't give up until he's squeezed dry today.

But there is nothing you can do, you have to bear the consequences of your own sins.

If you take on the title of challenging all the top female stars in Neon, you have to bear the corresponding internal pressure.

Then the old saying turned out to be true - sharpening a gun in battle will indeed make it brighter and brighter.

finally.

When Zhang Nan left this exclusive neon red light district, not only was he very haggard and lost a lot of nutrients, but his gun was also a little red and discolored due to being polished and soaked.

This is what Zhang Nan got when he saw that the situation was not good, and soon after, Solon Columbia Pictures took out the "Pacific Rim" series project it was preparing to divert the attention of the top female artists of the new generation of Neon. result.

But this can only divert the attention of the new generation of top female artists. For the previous generation of neon actresses, the effect is not very good, and it can even be said to have no effect.

Without it.

They have enjoyed these resources, and their reputations are in place.

Once you have it, you will naturally cherish it.

Therefore, Zhang Nan's previous generation of in-depth collaborators, headed by Xiao Pa Cai, currently has only one idea: to have an in-depth discussion of high-end primate life engineering with Zhang Nan.
