Chapter 736 Postponement of [Kung Fu Yoga] schedule

After more than two hours, the screening of [005] ended.

Although this movie does not pay tribute to "Mission: Impossible 006" in advance like "6", the quality is guaranteed after being tested by global audiences.

However, with the cooperation of Christopher McQuarrie, the director of "Mission Impossible 5.6.7" in the original time and space, and Sam Mendes, the director of the first "007" series with a global box office of over one billion US dollars, the entire "005" The quality is quite passable.

In addition, Zhang Nan personally invested US$500 million in Goldfinger's box office appeal.

Although the first day of screening was at 005 o'clock on Saturday night, which was not a good time, [] still grossed more than million U.S. dollars in box office in North America in a single day.

And it was going to be a holiday, and [Rogue One: A Star Wars Story], which was supposed to have a huge box office surge, was suppressed and the box office fell instead of rising.

When this phenomenon falls in the eyes of the media, it is Zhang Nan's personal terrifying box office appeal, and then there are reports.

Zhang Nan's side didn't have much impact, but it frightened subsequent films that wanted to test the water at the end of the Christmas season, such as [Resident Evil: The Final Chapter], [John Wick 2]... and so on, and simply gave up on this point. Intend.

……

in the hall.

The cast lineups of these two films are much worse than those of Chenglong in the original time and space, let alone now.

……

It’s just that the project [Railway Flying Tiger] was launched nervously and the quality was average. The final result is considered normal.

To be able to keep pace with Chenglong is already regarded as Chenglong's status.

After the premiere of [005], Zhang Nan went straight to France.

In fact, the box office performance of "Railway Tiger" was only slightly better than that of movies of the same period.

Without it.

Chenglong breathed a sigh of relief, not because the movie "Railway Tiger" starring him was a box office hit.

But the movies that were released at the same time as "Railway Tigers" were "The Ferryman" starring Liang Chaowei and Kim Sung-oh, and "The Lover" starring the Chopstick Brothers Xieyang.

"Anan, I'm sorry to trouble you about Xiao Fangzi." Chenglong thanked Zhang Nan.

But the household registration in the Mainland is not acceptable.

Only a little over a thousand are given out a year, and if you don't get less than two thousand, you can't just pay for it. You have to have some cutting-edge talents.

This is not only a matter of patriotism, but also the difficulty of changing household registration.

The difficulty is too high.

Zhang Nan waved his hand and said: "Forget about the past, Brother Chenglong, let's talk about the Spring Festival. I suggest that [Kung Fu Yoga] be removed from the Spring Festival schedule and postponed. "

Inside Longbow Film and Television City.

For French household registration, you just need some connections and some money.

Sitting on the sofa was Chenglong who breathed a sigh of relief.

Sophie Marceau is unloading, but she is still a caring little cotton-padded daughter.

Then after Sophie Marceau recovered a little, Zhang Nan directly took both mother and daughter to Longbow Film and Television City, and Zhang Nan also assigned her daughter's household registration to the mainland.

[Kung Fu Yoga] is another project similar to the previous one [Zodiac].

It is a money-making project that Chenglong found some investors himself, combined with his own money and starring role, and Zhang Nan only received 70% of Chenglong's average salary.

However, Chenglong was a little misunderstood after hearing what Zhang Nan said, and said: "Make room for [Journey to the West: Conquering Demons] and [Riding the Wind and Waves]?" [Journey to the West: Conquering Demons] Needless to say, the previous work [Journey to the West: Conquering Demons] With such a big name, even if the director of this film changes, the project will definitely still be funded by Longbow Film and Television.

As for "Riding the Wind and Waves", although the leading producer is Bernard Films, looking at the cast that is almost filled with artists from his own company, although Chenglong has not had a deep understanding of it, he also knows that his company's profits from it are definitely not low.

"Anan, although I was the one who initiated the [Kung Fu Yoga] project, I also have to consider the situation of other investors. However, Anan, you have just done me such a big favor. I will definitely help you accomplish this." Long gritted his teeth and said.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Nan quickly waved his hand and said: "Brother Chenglong, you misunderstood me.

I withdrew [Kung Fu Yoga] from the Spring Festival schedule, not because I wanted to make way for [Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons] and [Riding the Wind and Waves].

After all, the Spring Festival period is enough for four blockbusters with a box office of over 1 billion yuan, and as long as the box office exceeds 1 billion yuan, I will actually not lose money on these two projects.

But..."

When he said this, Zhang Nan paused for a moment before continuing: "Brother Chenglong, have you seen the finished film of [Kung Fu Yoga]?"

Chenglong shook his head.

Since his son's accident, he has been busy working on the project "Railway Flying Tiger" to make money for his son, so he left full control of "Kung Fu Yoga" to Tang Ji Li, a director and old friend who has worked with him for many years.

"I suggest you go back and take a look, brother, and then we can talk." Zhang Nan suggested.

Hearing such words, Chenglong was not stupid. He heard what Zhang Nan meant and said, "I'll take a look when I get back."

"Then let's talk on the phone then." Zhang Nan replied.

……

That night.

Chenglong's phone call came.

"Tangji Li is old."

This was the first sentence spoken by Chenglong on the other side of the phone.

This sentence is clearly talking about Tang Ji Li, but it is also secretly talking about himself.

After watching "Kung Fu Yoga", Cheng Long never thought that he would let go and Tang Ji Li would actually make the film look like this.

Call it bad, but it's not completely bad. It's still full of the style and characteristics of Chenglong's past films.

But to say it's good, I can't even open my mouth to express any advantages.

Chenglong can be very sure that this film will only be released during the Spring Festival.

Relying on the huge popularity of the schedule, it will directly consume a lot of the box office appeal he has accumulated over the years.

After this film, he will basically have no box office appeal in the mainland film market. It can be said that the reputation he has accumulated over the years has completely collapsed.

In fact, this is indeed the case with dragon riding in the original time and space.

After the box office of "Kung Fu Yoga" was 17.48 billion yuan, the box office of Chenglong's follow-up movies such as "The Battle of England", "Blood of the Machine", "Detective Pu Songling", "The Mystery of the Dragon Tablet"... etc. was a One is lower than the other.

[Detective Pu Songling] has dropped to less than 1.6 million yuan, with a box office of million yuan.

[The Mystery of the Dragon Tablet] is even more exaggerated here. The box office of a single film has dropped to 2082.7 million yuan.

It’s the box office of a single film, not the box office of a single day. This data is already very shocking.

Because the box office of many films in a single day in the later period is more than this number.
