How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 689: Storms are coming in the Mainland, and North America is in trouble

If there were even a ranking of mainland scenic spots, Longbow Studios would definitely rank among the top three in terms of revenue.

Without it.

Most of the top scenic spots in the mainland are beautiful natural scenery.

It looks like a big place, but the area available for tourists to visit in the scenic spot is very narrow, and the project's profitability is also limited.

After all, the only things you can do in the scenic area are to watch, or the purpose of tourists is to enjoy the scenery, not to play amusement projects.

And if the ticket price is increased, the number of tourists will decrease.

This has resulted in the scenic area being able to ruthlessly slaughter customers in terms of ropeways, accommodation and catering.

But Longbow Film and Television City has no such concerns.

First of all, Longgong Film and Television has a solid modern architectural design. It is square and square, and can basically accommodate tourists regardless of the area.

Because it’s already 2015, and it’s not too far away from the occurrence of a global health event.

But Zhang Nan temporarily declined.

Rather than investing more when the economy is good, it is better to invest more when the economy is bad.

Longbow Film and Television City has done a particularly good job in this regard. There are already special projects with major top IPs in the city, such as the space elevator jumping machine in "The Wandering Earth", the jewelry boutique in "The Lord of the Rings - The Legend of Sauron", The magical haunted house of [Harry Potter-Voldemort], the dinosaur paradise of [Jurassic World]...

Secondly, the purpose of tourists coming to Longbow Film and Television City is very simple, they just want to visit the scenes that have appeared in movies.

As for the expansion of the film and television city, even if it is based on the construction speed in the mainland, it will take at least one or two years. After decorating and decorating it, four or five years will pass.

No matter who is faced with the choice between the "Mission: Impossible" series, which has a global box office of hundreds of millions of dollars, and the "006" sequel project "005", which has a global box office of over billion US dollars, he will choose the latter without hesitation. .

Don't forget that not long after the expansion here, the global world over there exploded, and the film and television industry immediately stalled. The joke was really big.

After all, the core function of a film and television city is still the filming scene.

There is even a luxury car 4S store co-branded with [Transformers].

As a result, the current Longgong Film and Television City has become an important part of Pengcheng's new engine of economic growth. Pengcheng officials have repeatedly wanted to allow Longgong Film and Television City to continue to expand its area and increase revenue.

However, this choice is also normal.

If people can’t enter a scene, how can we film it?

With the blessing of unique IP, each project is a big moneymaker in the scenic spot.

Even if the latter will have two people sitting in the director's chair.

Tom Cruise can only continue to find Brad Bird, the director of "Mission: Impossible 4", to continue directing "Mission: Impossible 5".

"In terms of the choice of shooting location, as long as it is a provincial capital city in the mainland, the urban environment is actually enough. However, the specific choice still has to be made by you two as directors. I will not express my opinion. After all, I am here. Local people." Zhang Nan said to Christopher McQuarrie and Sam Mendes, who were upgraded from assistant directors in the [006] series to full directors in [005].

Among them, Christopher McQuarrie is a close friend of Tom Cruise. In order to serve as the director of [005], he even turned down Tom Cruise's directorship of [Mission: Impossible 5].

And the icing on the cake is never as good as providing timely assistance.

Even Christopher McQuarrie is a little lucky that Sam Mendes, who made "Skyfall" with a global box office of 11 billion US dollars, can direct "007" with him.

Because if he was alone, Christopher McQuarrie was really a little panicked, fearing that [005], a project that continued [006] with a global box office of two billion US dollars, would be ruined.

"Okay, as for the specific city selection list, I will review it with Director Sam Mendes before I review it for you." Christopher McQuarrie replied after listening to Zhang Nan's words. Zhang Nan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then devoted himself to shooting.

……

in a blink.

A month has passed and May has come to an end.

Because the May and June schedules in recent years are the opening hours of the mainland film market for Hollywood blockbusters and international blockbusters.

Therefore, during this period of time, the major film and television companies in the mainland film market have not released any good projects.

However, the major film and television companies in the mainland are not idle doing nothing.

Everyone started preparing for the May and June schedule, and they were full of energy for the July schedule after the external schedule ended.

A project that Zhang Nan had vaguely heard of.

There are Guo Xiaosi's "Little Times 4", Xinli Media's "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" by Chen Wuji, Hengdian Pictures' animated masterpiece "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", Jiangsu and Zhejiang Pictures and a bunch of Hong Kong movies. [Monster Hunting] was created by the industry.

It can be said that the atmosphere in the Mainland Film Market is like a storm before the storm, and the building is ready to move.

As for the May summer vacation schedule in the North American film market, it's a fool's errand.

[Avengers 2], [Mad Max 4], [Tomorrowland] and [Doomsday Collapse] all gathered together within thirty days and started wrestling crazily.

However, the final winner still fell on the first appearance of [Avengers 2].

Although "Avengers 2" ran through the entire May schedule, its box office performance was not as strong as its predecessor "Avengers 1".

But the background is still there, so it’s not a problem to beat up [Mad Max 4], [Tomorrowland] and [Collapse].

The worst among them is [Tomorrowland].

It was beaten directly. It seems that the North American box office will not exceed 100 million, and the global box office will even be difficult to reach 200 million.

It made Tom Cruise, who was filming on the set of Mission: Impossible 5, very uncomfortable and a little panicked.

Without it.

Because Brad Bird, the director of "Tomorrowland", is the director of his previous "Mission: Impossible 4" and current "Mission: Impossible 5".

So as soon as May ended and the dust settled, Tom Cruise began to call his good brother Christopher McQuarrie, who was far away in the mainland and was helping Zhang Nan shoot [005], for help.

finally.

Tom Cruise placed part of the filming location of "Mission: Impossible 5" at Longbow Studios in exchange for the convenience of his good brother Christopher McQuarrie to help back and forth between the two crews.

And if [Tomorrowland] was under the high pressure of [Avengers 2], it could not withstand the explosion.

Then Dwayne Johnson relied on "Collapse" to prove his box office appeal.

And because Zhang Nan helped him connect the dots about this [Doomsday Collapse].

Therefore, Dwayne Johnson's determination to be Zhang Nan's number one younger brother in the "Fast and Furious" series has surpassed Vin Diesel.
