How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 613: For artists who really want to make progress, million shouldn’t be too much.

After sending George Lucas away, the communication and results between Zhang Nan and JJ Abrams and Disney were as smooth as Zhang Nan boasted in front of George Lucas.

It can't be bad.

There are two aspects that control the character rights of the [Star Wars 7] project: producer Disney Pictures and director JJ Abrams.

Over there at Disney Studios.

Old Luke's brother-in-law, Robert Watt, recently successfully replaced the former Disney Pictures CEO Bob Brett, achieving the ultimate poaching route of first leveraging the old CEO's wife, and then leveraging the old CEO's position under his ass - both in love and in the workplace. Line clearance.

As for director JJ Abrams.

Tom Cruise also worked very hard to repay Zhang Nan's favor. You must know that Tom Cruise is a person who can get along well in the cult. When he works hard, his power cannot be underestimated.

The final result was that Zhang Nan made a cameo appearance in "Star Wars Episode 7" at a standard price, and with the help of the bundled model, she got three minor roles in "Star Wars Episode 7" that had a few appearances, and three supporting roles that had some roles.

Then Zhang Nan looked at the six film appointments and felt a little hesitant, not knowing how to arrange them.

Because Zhou Jie is obsessed with farming in the Northeast and can't help himself; Wu Jin is a supporting actor and guest star in European and American action movies, and he doesn't have time to make extra money; Chenglong doesn't have to worry about anything.

Only Hu Ge, Yu Entai and Liu Tianwang were left.

There is no doubt that the three supporting roles can be divided among them, but there are three supporting roles left...

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Nan made a decision.

"It's already December 2013, and the traffic era is about to begin. Instead of letting those sissies who came back from Korea make a fortune in the mainland, why don't I first scratch the capital base of the mainland entertainment industry and try mainland gold? Water temperature in entertainment times.

For a film contract with a main character in the [Star Wars] series, I bid 100 million yuan. For an artist who really wants to make progress, it shouldn’t be too much!

After all, this is an opportunity to go to Hollywood for gold plating, and the gold plating is still the best.

Moreover, I am just asking for money, which is considered decent. Director Qi and Gao Qiqiang both gave up their dignity and knelt down in disgrace in exchange for the opportunity to progress! "Zhang Nan murmured.

……

Mainland Film Market.

12 month 19 day.

After experiencing the failure of "1942" to transform and win awards, Feng Xiaogang returned to comedy films and produced a "Private Customization", and the film's release date also chose the one he pioneered in the first place. The Lunar New Year film schedule is December.

[Private Customization] Feng Xiaogang in this film can be said to have made a complete comeback.

The comedy form of the movie directly returns to the similar mode of "Party A and Party B" where it first became famous.

Ordinary people's fantasies come true and then add a laugh to the experience.

It's just that although Feng Xiaogang's transformation failed, his personal directing style was still affected. In some plot aspects of "Private Customization", some plot designs that satirize reality were added.

That’s not to say that these plot designs that satirize reality aren’t funny.

Chef Fan’s words: Are you just asking me to do something like this? What kind of cadre cannot withstand such a test?

So there are still some laughs.

But if comedy is not pure, then the funny effect will naturally not be so pure and outstanding.

And after so many years, Feng Xiaogang is actually a bit outdated. This can be seen from his return to comedy and his direct return to the original mode of filming "Party A and Party B".

However, Feng Xiaogang has been known as the king of mainland comedies for many years and has accumulated box office appeal.

And on the first day of [Private Customization]'s release, there was no other strong opponent.

Therefore, [Private Customization] directly grossed 7149.7 million yuan at the box office at its premiere. If you include the box office of 1002 million yuan at the midnight show last Wednesday. [Private Customization] took in a box office of RMB 8151.9 million within one day of its release.

And this is still just the beginning.

The next day, the single-day box office of "Private Customization" showed almost no downward trend, reaching another RMB 7111.41 million.

On the third day, which happened to be Saturday, another holiday, [Private Customization] experienced a one-day box office drop, and the rate was so high that it almost exceeded 9886.45 million yuan. The box office finally closed at million yuan.

On the last day of the first week, the single-day box office of "Private Customization" failed to reverse a slight decline again and achieve the feat of achieving a single-day box office of over 100 million. Instead, it fell with the trend.

Of course.

Although the box office has dropped, this drop is based on the drop in the box office on that terrible single day on Saturday.

Therefore, [Private Customization] grossed another RMB 7286.52 million on Sunday, which was higher than the box office on the day of the premiere.

finally.

[Private Customization] In the first four days, the movie grossed 3.24 million yuan in box office in the mainland movie market.

I have made a big comeback for Feng Xiaogang's loss of reputation due to the box office failure of "1942".

If the box office of "Private Customization" can be stable the next week, then maybe Feng Xiaogang can rely on "Private Customization" to return to the top of comedy films.

After all, Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" has just been released. Although Xu Zheng's "Thailand" results are exaggerated, his personal qualifications are too low.

Zhou Xingxing, the recognized king of comedy, has begun to retreat from the stage and behind the scenes. He only wants to be a director. Although his new film "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has a box office of more than 1 billion, it is not considered a comedy at most. The film that is most full of Zhou's nonsensical comedy style among feature films.

Moreover, most of the support for Zhou Xingxing's title of King of Comedy is still based on his identity as an actor. Apart from his identity as an actor, he only pays attention to his identity as a director. Zhou Xingxing's title of King of Comedy is a bit unstable.

But it's a pity.

[Private Customization] failed to stabilize its box office the following week.

After all, Feng Xiaogang himself has been trying hard to get rid of his hat as a comedy director in recent years. It is naturally impossible for him to study how to shoot comedy films better, so the quality of his new works will naturally not be too high. outstanding.

On Monday the following week, the single-day box office of [Private Customization] dropped by more than 50% from more than 70 million yuan on Sunday to 32 million yuan.

Then the single-day box office on Tuesday the following week rebounded, but fell to over 40 million.

In the following five days, the single-day box office data of [Private Customization] continued to shrink. Only in the three weekend days did it rebound due to the expansion of the total volume of the film market.

Of course.

[Private Customization] This situation at the box office the next week is not only due to its own quality.

Seeing that the box office of [Private Customization] is so popular, I have also measured the current 'water temperature' of the mainland movie market, so naturally others will not just watch.

For example, December 12th.

Another new and masterpiece of Da Tiantian - [Police Story 2013] is here.

Regarding the box office failure of the last movie "Warring States", Da Tiantian and the financial backers behind it naturally have some reflections.

And looking at the name and type of this new work [Police Story 2013].

It is very straightforward to know what kind of results Da Tiantian and the financial backers behind it have reflected on the failure of [Warring States].

If period films don’t work, then modern films will do. If Sun Heizi doesn’t have enough celebrity status, then he’ll spend more money to hire Chenglong. Original films don’t have much fan base and it’s not easy to promote, so then make series sequels…
