Chapter 725 [Pirates of the Caribbean 6] Mainland Extension Key Operation
Mainland.

end of April.

The storm of [Ip Man 3] seems to have calmed down as time goes by, but the repercussions are still on the way.

The hottest topic, or project, in the mainland film market right now is "Beijing Meets Seattle 2".

Based on the 1 million yuan box office of the previous film "Beijing Meets Seattle 5.2", this "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" at least has the effect of spending tens of millions of yuan on publicity.

Moreover, this time point in 2016 is also a very suitable time for a movie like "Beijing Meets Seattle 2".

Without it.

At this time, there is no friction between the North American side and the Mainland side.

On the mainland, with the rapid economic development in the past ten years, the urban petty bourgeoisie group has continued to grow. None of them has truly experienced the happy life in North America, and only imagined the sweet life of a lighthouse in their minds.

So this kind of love story between a big city in the mainland and a well-known city in North America particularly touches the hearts of this large group of people.

"Mr. Kang, regarding the co-production plan, I have already begun discussions with Disney Pictures, and the next part [Pirates of the Caribbean 7] will be made into a co-production project. There is basically no resistance from Disney Pictures. , is this okay?" Zhang Nan continued to pester.

If it weren't for the IP of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it would have been placed in the core industry of Disneyland by Disney Group, the parent company behind Disney Pictures.

Then the single-day box office of the next day and the third day, "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" experienced a slight decline, taking in box office of 1.21 million yuan and 1.22 million yuan respectively.

In fact, Disney Pictures not only showed no resistance, but also showed great support.

……

In its first three days, "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" grossed 3.55 million yuan at the box office, ranking first in the mainland's single-week box office rankings.

Because in the entire "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, Zhang Nan's personal box office dividends and peripheral income dividends have reached as high as 55%.

And now the mainland is already the second largest film market in the world.

Therefore, the first-day box office of "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" gave a very good answer - 1.10 million yuan.

I guess I can only take it for a week.

Disney Pictures was very smart and held the world premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" at Longbow Studios in Mainland China.

It can be said that for the entire "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of projects, Disney spent a lot of money and could only maintain capital and gain some fame. Most of the profits were taken by Zhang Nan.

"Director Zhang, it's really not my fault. It's really too difficult to get an extension key for a non-co-production film." After attending the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6", China Film President Kang Pei felt a little apologetic to Zhang Nan. The way.

5 month 1 day.

Of course.

Because May and June have always been the mainland’s timetable for introducing international films.

but……

And this time [Beijing Meets Seattle 2] will face [Pirates of the Caribbean 6] with Zhang Nan returning to star.

After all, the entire "Pirates of the Caribbean" series has been proven by the failure of "Pirates of the Caribbean 5". This series is indeed not good without Zhang Nan, so it is better to try our best to make Zhang Nan a good friend.

Therefore, this move by Disney Pictures is also a bit of an attempt to please mainland movie fans and officials, and to give more preferential treatment to the mainland screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6".

After Disney Pictures fails to get rid of Zhang Nan in "Pirates of the Caribbean 5", it will sell the copyright of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series to other film and television companies.

Now that someone is willing to share the investment share of the [Pirates of the Caribbean] series, Disney Pictures is really welcoming them with both hands and feet.

"Director Zhang, how about we talk about [Pirates of the Caribbean 7] directly then?" What Kang Pei meant was a tactful rejection.

But Zhang Nan also expected this situation, so he showed the 20% share contract of "A Star Wars Story" and said: "Project guarantees for future co-productions, coupled with the current contract for co-productions Woolen cloth?"

Kang Pei, who was muttering that it was too difficult, immediately fell silent.

Without it.

This is the [Star Wars] series!

China Film has been trying to go global for so many years. What is it trying to achieve?
Isn't it just an attempt to expand its international influence?

Participating in the "Star Wars" series, an absolute core IP project in Europe and the United States, will undoubtedly greatly reduce the difficulty for China Film to become an international film and television company.

a long time.

Kang Peicai slowly said: "Director Zhang, who did you learn this method from?"

"[Let the bullets fly]!" Zhang Nan replied.

Kang Pei recalled what Zhang Nan said, but also thought of Jiang Wen, and his face couldn't help but stiffen.

Zhang Nan noticed something and thought there was something wrong with his operation, so he asked: "What's wrong?"

"It's not about [Pirates of the Caribbean 6], it's..."

Kang Pei said a little tangledly: "Director Zhang, Jiang Wen has recently saved a project called [Evil Doesn't Suppress Righteousness], and he wants to get Huaying to invest in it."

In fact, after the failure of Jiang Wen's "One Step Away", Huaying became respectful and insensitive towards Jiang Wen's projects.

But I can’t stand the current environment of the Mainland film market which is too hot.

Moreover, Jiang Wen has ensured that there will be no overspending on this project of "The Evil Cannot Suppress the Righteous", and the production fee is only 200 million yuan.

This is very attractive.

Because according to this cost, the movie box office of "The Evil Is Not Suppressing the Righteous" only needs 600 million yuan to make back its money.

With the current popularity of the mainland film and television industry, a movie with a box office of 600 million yuan cannot even enter the top 20 of the year.

Kang Pei felt that no matter how hard Jiang Wen stretched his hips, he wouldn't even be in the top 20 of the year!

"Mr. Kang, I won't give you any advice on project investment." Zhang Nan quickly slipped away from Kang Pei.

……

After the usual premiere process, "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" entered the screening session.

Zhang Nan has never watched "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" in the original time and space, so this version of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" can be regarded as the most serious movie that Zhang Nan has watched in so many years.

After all, although he participated in the filming, the filming process and the presentation of the finished film are completely different.

Let's just put it that way.

Neon's love action film, you can see, it was shot in full swing and smoothly for more than two hours, but the actual working time of the actors was much longer than that of the finished film.

There are many scenes that the actors themselves cannot notice during the performance.
