Chapter 761 [Spider-Man: Homecoming] Factors affecting the cold weather in the Mainland

The entrance to the 21st Century Pictures headquarters building.

It was James Cameron who sent Zhang Nan away.

"James, how did you get involved in this kind of thing?"

When he said this, Zhang Nan's tone sounded like an old boy's artistic path was beginning to be corroded.

James Cameron naturally heard the hidden meaning in Zhang Nan's words, glanced at Zhang Nan, and thought to himself, I just got involved, you are the leading party in this kind of thing!
But James Cameron did not express this idea, but explained: "In the original [Avatar 1] project, I approached Disney Pictures for investment, but Disney Pictures did not agree because the price was too high, and then Twentieth Century Fox Pictures just took over.

Now that Disney Pictures and 2st Century Fox Pictures are taking over, they still have the [Star Wars] series to revitalize. I am a little worried that [Avatar ] will be directly canceled by Disney Pictures.

Then Odolade said that as long as I help him with the [Avatar 2] project, he would not be involved in the [Avatar 2] project that I directed before Twenty-First Century Fox Pictures was acquired by Disney Pictures. After deducting various actor fees, the production fee is million US dollars. "

A pure production fee of 400 million US dollars?
After Zhang Nan heard this number, he raised his eyebrows and had some ideas.

You must know that Marvel Studios in the original time and space, after "Avengers 3" sold more than 4 billion US dollars in box office worldwide, the budget for "Avengers 3.56" was only million US dollars.

"That's just right. After [The Wandering Earth 1], the department responsible for the special effects of [The Wandering Earth 1] in my Longbow special effects company is not too busy now.

We must know that in the past, various movies in the global film and television industry were all based on the reputation of having special effects produced by Hollywood special effects teams, but now it is actually the other way around. Hollywood blockbusters have the reputation of Chinese special effects teams like "The Wandering Earth 1" head.

Without it.

The box office of [The Wandering Earth 1] was so explosive.

[The Wandering Earth 1]’s box office popularity of nearly billion US dollars is really eye-catching!
"At most, I will give you a 10% profit rebate as long as the special effects are of high quality and quantity." Zhang Nan looked at the hesitant James Cameron and started to resort to tricks.

Since the release of "The Wandering Earth 1", film and television people in various film and television regions have wanted to imitate and make a similar project.

Even if it is just a tenth imitation of a cat and a tiger, and it gets one-tenth of the box office, that is still a box office of 4.66 million US dollars!
With such an achievement, the film would have secured a place on the global annual box office rankings in any year.

"What about that? I just read the script and found that this version of the script is completely different from your previous idea of ​​environmental protection. Instead, it has the same sci-fi interstellar nature as "The Wandering Earth" that I starred in before. Have you been influenced by it? "The Wandering Earth 1" was affected?" Zhang Nan started to say.

Because "The Wandering Earth 1" has a global box office of 46.6 billion U.S. dollars, nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars. Once it was released, its influence on the global film and television industry was greater than that of "Avatar " with a box office of billion U.S. dollars. .

James Cameron nodded upon hearing this.

You leave the special effects production of [Avatar 2] to me, and I will ask them to make it for you in the style of [The Wandering Earth 1].

"..."

but……

And this way.

There was no way not to nod.

The actual production cost of [Avengers 4] is just over million US dollars.

When the time comes to promote it, we can still ride on the popularity of [The Wandering Earth 1] and say that all the special effects in this episode were produced by the production team of [The Wandering Earth 1]. This is also a gimmick. " Zhang Nan suggested.

you could put it that way.

James Cameron fell silent because no matter what he thought, there was something wrong with this.

If you really count it down.

Among them are Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett, the three Chris... and other big stars with high salaries.

After hearing what Zhang Nan said, James Cameron suddenly became excited, but just as he was about to say something, Zhang Nan held him down.

“Since you’ve already been involved in things like kickbacks, it’s better to learn more about it.

And it was you who brought me here today that made this happen, otherwise I would have decided to stop after Warner Pictures last time.

Besides, I didn’t say that I had to cut corners, I just guaranteed quality and quantity. "Zhang Nan's temptations, reminders and guarantees immediately left James Cameron speechless. "But there are rebates, how can we maintain quality and quantity? "James Cameron wanted to struggle at the end.

"How big is the profit margin in special effects? It's not like you were new to it when you were filming "Titanic". At most, I just made a little less. Moreover, now that the mainland's economy has developed, there are complete types of industries, and the roads are smooth. It's easy to transport, so the cost of many things is much cheaper than in Hollywood. If you have driven a truck before, you should know this!" Zhang Nan dug out all James Cameron's old books.

"Besides, 20th Century Fox Pictures has changed its name to 21st Century Fox Pictures, and will soon be acquired by Disney Pictures. If you want to put aside the existence of 20th Century Fox Pictures in the future, I’m afraid it’s not okay to film in such an inhumane way, so I have to think about it for myself.”

James Cameron:"……"

What you said makes so much sense!

finally.

James Cameron expressed his opinion with a silent nod.

……

Early July.

"Spider-Man: Homecoming", which had a box office of US$1.17 million in the first three days, once again grossed nearly US$ million in the seven days of the following week.

As a result, its cumulative box office in North America has crossed the threshold of US$200 million.

However, it can be seen from the box office trends of the first three days and the next seven days that the box office stability of "Spider-Man: Homecoming" is worse than that of "Transformers 4".

But this is normal.

After all, he is a man!
When it comes to the aesthetics of tight-fitting leather jackets, my favorite style is the one with the front and back curved.

Therefore, the North American box office of [Spider-Man: Homecoming] is ultimately estimated to be around US$350 million.

Fortunately, [Spider-Man: Homecoming] combines the old fan base of the two versions of Sony's Columbia Pictures Spider-Man and the fan base of the Marvel Cinematic Universe project.

Under the influence of these two large groups of fans, [Spider-Man: Homecoming] performed quite well at the box office around the world.

So far.

Except for the mainland movie theaters where it has not yet been released, it has accumulated a box office of nearly 300 million US dollars.

In other words, the global cumulative box office of [Spider-Man: Homecoming] has reached 500 million US dollars, and it will probably increase to more than 200 million US dollars in the future.

Finally, including the box office of more than 700 million yuan and more than 100 million US dollars in the mainland of the original time and space.

[Spider-Man: Homecoming] has a global box office of more than 800 million, close to 900 million U.S. dollars.

It is worthy of the powerful alliance between Sony Columbia Pictures and Marvel Pictures.

Of course.

The reason why [Spider-Man: Homecoming] performed poorly at the box office in the mainland movie market.

Zhang Nan believes that this is mainly due to the good social security in the mainland.

So much so that mainland audiences don't have much desire for leather-clad heroes like Spider-Man.

After all, you have nothing to do. You see people robbed with guns every now and then. There is really no way you can long for a Spider-Man and then go to the cinema to release this need.

Maybe if there really is a person like this wearing leather clothes and wandering around high-rise buildings in the Mainland, he will become a villain who disrupts public transportation safety and will have to be detained.

Most importantly.

Mainland audiences' desire to watch movies about Spider-Man, a superhero who helps others and helps others, has been completely satisfied by the ancient commoner heroes in Mainland film and television dramas.
