How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 648 It’s the end of another year’s summer vacation

Zhang Nan naturally saw Vin Diesel's envy.

Then Zhang Nan turned to Vin Diesel and said, "Summit Pictures and Lionsgate Pictures recently worked on a project called [The Last Witch Hunter]. Fan, do you know?"

Vin Diesel was stunned when he heard what Zhang Nan said, and he was also a little confused about this [The Last Witch Hunter] project.

But Vin Diesel knew that Zhang Nan would not talk nonsense, so he shook his head with some confusion and said: "I haven't heard much about it!"

"Don't care whether you have heard of it or not. Are you interested in the production fee of 9000 million US dollars?" Zhang Nan interrupted.

$90 million in production costs?

Vin Diesel immediately stopped being confused and was naturally very interested, so he nodded quickly.

Seeing Vin Diesel like this, Zhang Nan smiled.

Dwayne Johnson's sheep is herded, and Vin Diesel's sheep is also herded. Anyway, they are taking projects that they have access to and making easy favors, so why not do it.

Then during the more than a month that Zhang Nan was filming in "Fast and Furious 7", the global film market was a little misfired.

In the North American film market, the summer vacation is coming to an end, and there are no major movies being released anymore.

Zhang Nan's fixed starting salary is US$400 million.

Then, Zhang Nan also took away 7% of the box office dividends and % of the peripheral income from "Fast and Furious ".

But the dissatisfaction that Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel felt because of Zhang Nan's sudden intervention in "Fast and Furious 7" completely disappeared.

Zhang Nan stayed on the set of [Fast and Furious 7] for a month and a half, finishing her part.

Only three films, "War for the Planet of the Apes", "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Superman", are still competing with each other.

Mid-August.

To be honest, the latter's 80% share of movie peripherals was a bit too high. When Zhang Nan mentioned it himself, he was thinking that Universal Pictures would counter-offer.

"Find a suitable time and let your agent talk to Summit Pictures and Lionsgate Pictures about the formal process." After saying this, Zhang Nan said nothing more.

no way.

Therefore, Zhang Nan and Universal Pictures each get what they need.

……

But unexpectedly, Universal Pictures agreed without hesitation at all, which made Zhang Nan a little surprised. He also lamented that Universal Pictures has a domineering name and its work is indeed worthy of his name.

However, Universal Pictures just saw that the peripheral income of the "Fast and Furious" series was not high, and they readily agreed with an indifferent attitude.

And if it contributes to the success of "Fast and Furious 7" and makes the entire "Fast and Furious" series become one of the world's top series, then Universal Pictures, which holds two top series, will be able to compete in the financial market. , perform more operations.

At the same time, it also increased the production cost of "Fast and Furious 7" from US$1.9 million to US$6 million.

The best among them is naturally the [Guardians of the Galaxy], which is known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe project.

It directly earned more than 3.3 million U.S. dollars in box office in North America. It is expected to earn about million U.S. dollars in North America after the film is released.

At the same time, [Guardians of the Galaxy] also performed quite well in global movie theaters. Including the North American box office of more than 7.5 million U.S. dollars, [Guardians of the Galaxy] has now grossed nearly million U.S. dollars in total.

It is already higher than the US$2 million global box office of [Captain America 7.14] and the US$2 million global box office of [Thor 6.44].

It can be said that the third Chris in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to play Star-Lord knocked down the two older Chriss as soon as he appeared on the scene. He looked full of potential.

This makes Marvel Studios very helpless.

Because the entire plot of "Guardians of the Galaxy" is completely disconnected from the filming and upcoming "Avengers 2", there is a gap.

In other words, no matter how good [Guardians of the Galaxy] performs, it cannot support [Avengers 2].

And second only to "Guardians of the Galaxy" is "War for the Planet of the Apes" that avoided "Transformers 3" and followed behind to eat soup.

This time [War for the Planet of the Apes] has truly risen. It has already grossed more than 2 million dollars at the global box office, nearly million U.S. dollars. It is expected that after the movie is finished, it will definitely exceed million U.S. dollars at the global box office.

So 3th Century Fox Pictures has already begun preparations for [War for the Planet of the Apes ].

And as expected, preparations will go smoothly. After all, the series "Rise of the Planet" is similar to a cartoon. The protagonists are all non-real-person special effects orangutans, so there will be no salary increase.

As for [Super Body], which is ranked behind [War for the Planet of the Apes 2], its overall performance is several notches higher than those of these two films.

At present, it has barely surpassed 400 million US dollars in global box office, and it is difficult to reach 500 million US dollars.

But this is only compared with [Guardians of the Galaxy] and [War for the Planet of the Apes]. In fact, if you really think about it, the box office of this wave of [Superbodies] is also quite good.

The heroine movie allowed Scarlett to prove her box office appeal - although most people attribute the success of "Super Body" to the casting of Scarlett, the black widow, and taking advantage of the popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Then director Luc Besson once again became famous with this alternative new work, proving that his sword is still young.

This is the North American Film Market.

The situation in the mainland film market is similar.

[Tiny Times 3], [We Will Meet Again] and [Breakup Master] dominated the mainland schedules for the month and a half from early July to mid-August.

Then "Tiny Times 3", which was the most famous before its release, became the lowest box office among the three films. After exceeding 5.2 million yuan in box office, it no longer had box office potential and stopped at million yuan in box office.

The name is slightly inferior to "Tiny Times 3", but "The Future" is a little bit more popular, but it relies on its less fan-favorite, traffic-oriented, and somewhat decent, fresh and artistic film style.

The first-come-first-served approach successfully surpassed the box office of "Tiny Times 3" of RMB 6.28 million, taking in RMB million.

It can be said that Han Han's first shot in this wave of cross-border directors is also the most important shot. It is considered a success. He also used his reputation as a novice director to slightly overpower his old rival Guo Xiaosi.

Of course.

Hanhan is not the only one who has successfully crossed over to become a director by following the path of others.

Deng Chao also followed Xu Zheng's development path and successfully changed from an actor to a comedy director, and was even more successful than Han Han.

Because "The Breakup Master" and its box office of 6.55 million yuan are real.
