Chapter 608 Space Elevator Reality Shrunk IP Version Jumping Machine

When Zhang Nan confirmed all the guest roles in "The Wandering Earth" and returned to the mainland.

The box office trend of [Thor 2] in North America is basically the same.

The box office on the first day was US$3189.9 million.

The box office grossed US$8600 million in the first three days.

The next week's seven-day box office gross was US$6000 million.

In the ten days since its release, [Thor: Ragnarok] has accumulated a box office of US$2 million in North America, which is not as high as the box office of [Iron Man 1.46] of nearly US$3 million in the first three days.

And based on the statistics of audience reputation from theaters in various places.

You can tell.

The single-day box office of "Thor 2" in North America is about to drop to less than three million US dollars on weekdays. Even during the three-day weekend, the single-day box office of "Thor 2" will not be as high. Nearly million US dollars, leaving only a few million US dollars in box office potential.

And if nothing else happens, the subsequent box office trend of "Thor 2" will quickly decline.

Plus [The Hunger Games 2] in mid-to-late November, and [The Hobbit 2] and [Voldemort 2] in December.

It is basically certain that the cumulative box office of "Thor 2" in North America is not even comparable to the US$3 million of "Iron Man ". Even if it wants to exceed US$ million, it is a bit high.

The box office performance of [Thor 2] was obviously something Marvel Studios did not expect.

Because it is so far behind [Iron Man 3].

Of course.

If we really count, [Thor 2] is still an improvement compared to [Thor 1].

But this kind of progress is not enough to support the [Thor] series to succeed the [Iron Man] series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

So Marvel Studios, which saw that "Thor 2" was not doing well, began to turn its attention to "Captain America 2".

However, these have little to do with Zhang Nan, and Zhang Nan has returned to the mainland again at this time.

……

Longbow Film and Television City.

[The Wandering Earth] crew.

Although many preparations for the crew of "The Wandering Earth" have not yet been completed, many studios are still under construction.

But there are always a few relatively simple studios that have already been built.

For example, the current space elevator interior studio.

Zhang Nan used the jumping machine in the amusement park as a template and adjusted it into the shape of the space elevator in the movie.

Although you can't fly directly into outer space and enjoy more than ten Gs of acceleration like in the movies, you can still fly a few hundred meters and enjoy a brief and obvious feeling of acceleration and weightlessness, which is very suitable for movie shooting.

Of course.

The reason why this studio was able to be built so quickly.

Mainly because the scene layout in this space elevator is very simple, just an ordinary room with a bit of science fiction color.

At the same time, the technology of jumping machines is now also a very mature technology.

In this world, as long as the technology is not particularly sensitive and has not been blocked on purpose.

So under the current booming industrial chain structure in the mainland, Zhang Nan can buy it with just money. Even if Zhang Nan is willing to spend a lot of money.

You can also enjoy a jumping machine that can raise a building hundreds of meters high in a short time, which is unparalleled in the mainland.

After all, compared to cement construction, which requires time to wait for the building strength to increase before construction, the jumping machine is basically made of steel components and can be assembled directly.

Of course.

Zhang Nan is not that big of a victim, so he won't be in a hurry for a while.

But the speed of basic construction in the mainland is already very fast, so the space elevator studio was the first to be completed.

"Zhang, for one shot, you built an alternative jumping machine. It's so extravagant! This can actually be solved with special effects." Robert Downey Jr. stood in front of the jumping machine shaped like a space elevator, looking at the hundreds of meters. The tall jumping machine said with a little emotion.

"It's very troublesome to shoot this shot with special effects. It's not realistic. If it's not done well, there will be hidden scenes. Moreover, my project is intended to be a series. This scene can't be shot once and then thrown away. It can be used again." Several times.

Moreover, I designed and built this thing completely according to the standard jumping machine. When not filming, it can be used as a landscape and amusement facility.

After "The Wandering Earth" is released, it will sell well at the box office and its popularity will skyrocket. I think many people will be willing to experience the "original" space elevator version of the jumping machine. The price of playing other ordinary jumping machines once is It’s about fifty dollars. What do you think I should price this jumping machine with IP at five hundred dollars? " Zhang Nan replied.

Robert Downey Jr. paused after hearing Zhang Nan's words. He really hadn't thought about this, but he was concerned about Zhang Nan's final proposal on ticket prices.

"Zhang, is it a bit too much to just double it ten times?" Robert Downey Jr. was a little stunned by Zhang Nan's approach.

"Am I going too far?"

Zhang Nan glanced at Robert Downey Jr. and said, "Did you know that your Iron Man armor model costs only a few cents, but sells for tens or hundreds of dollars, a premium of hundreds or thousands of times?" , much crueler than me, okay?

No, I feel sick all over when I think of this. You'd better go through it once you're filming inside. Otherwise, if you get stuck one more time, you'll have to do the jumping machine all over again, and you'll have to pay. "

Robert Downey Jr.: "..." I have been in the industry for so many years, but I have never heard of any crew asking actors to get paid for filming.

However, Robert Downey Jr. did not say this complaint.

Because for so many years in Hollywood, although no film crew has asked actors to collect money from filming, there are quite a few who have accepted their lives.

To give an example, a well-known director filmed an ancient war scene in a mine field.

If you really are about to make a wrong step, you may lose your thigh.

……

I have to say that Robert Downey Jr.'s acting skills are okay.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been nominated for an Oscar at such a young age, and then after a few years of sinking, I grabbed the Iron Man project from Marvel Studios and skyrocketed.

You must know that the situation faced by the two Chriss (American Chris Evans and Thor Chris Hemsworth) is much better than the situation faced by Robert Downey Jr. back then.

But Chris Hemsworth's "Thor 2" has already failed in the process of succeeding "Iron Man 3", and Chris Evans' "Captain America 2" will not be far behind.

It's just a funny scene where the male and female protagonists sit between each other. In Zhang Nan's opinion, the original version only had a little bit of novelty in the image of a foreigner, and he didn't realize the sense of humor at all.

That English homophonic sound made Zhang Nan a little embarrassed.

But when Robert Downey Jr. plays this role, the comedy atmosphere is immediately full.

"Downey, you are quite talented in comedy!" Zhang Nan said with emotion as he passed the scene without a hitch and was very satisfied with Robert Downey Jr.'s performance.

Robert Jr. was a little unhappy when he heard what he said, "I was nominated for an Oscar based on a [Chaplin] biopic. What do you think?"
