How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 782 [Tomb Raider: War of Origin] [Black Panther] [Pacific Rim 2]

It seems that Zhang Nan has already agreed to the projects of "Jurassic World 4" and "004", and there is also a "Wandering Earth 2".

The number of three film contracts also made Old Luke know that he could not push further, so he nodded and said nothing more.

……

A few days later.

Inside Longbow Film and Television City.

The filming location, which was originally somewhat deserted after the filming of "The Wandering Earth 1", has now become lively again after a period of preparation.

It's just that all the signs originally labeled "The Wandering Earth 1" have now been changed to "The Wandering Earth 2", and the director lineup has also changed from Guo Fan and Teng Huatou to Guo Fan and Wu Jin.

Of course.

Wu Jin not only had the responsibility of director, but was also tricked by Guo Fan into playing a supporting role - the captain of the Flint Transport Team.

This character is somewhat consistent with Wu Jin's "Wolf Warrior 2" temperament. They are both combatants, and they can also take advantage of the 2 billion yuan box office popularity of "Wolf Warrior ".

Seeing that Wu Jin had taken on another role, Zhang Nan also took the opportunity to pave the way for Wu Jin: "The cumulative box office of [Operation Red Sea] will soon be 2 billion yuan, and [Detective Chinatown 2] will also have billion yuan." million yuan, plus more than billion yuan for "Monster Hunt ".

Even if you don’t count the box office sales of hundreds of millions of yuan such as "Journey to the West" and "Bear Bears - Metamorphosis", the current box office potential of the Spring Festival period in mainland film markets has reached the tens of billions level. You have "Wolf Warrior 3" Have you got an idea?
If so, I will help you book all the Spring Festival schedules for next year in advance, allowing you to exclusively enjoy the tens of billions of RMB box office market during the Spring Festival. "

Upon hearing this, Wu Jin quickly waved his hand and said: "Director Zhang, it's not that I refuse, but that I really don't have a clue about [Wolf Warrior 3] now."

"Since you don't have it, I happen to have a good project here, and I plan to let you star in it and co-direct it."

Seeing that the preparations were almost done, Zhang Nan directly revealed to Wu Jin the details of the gift film project that he and Huaying had proposed before.

Wu Jin: "..."

Good guy, Director Zhang, you are really like an old sow, one set after another!

only……

Wu Jin heard that in the tribute film, there was actually Michael Bay, a pure North American. He was a little hesitant like Huaying Kangpei: "Director Zhang, if you ask Michael Bay to direct, will this movie be successful when it is finally made?" It would contradict the meaning of the gift film!”

"I only plan to let him be responsible for the explosion scenes, and you and I will control all other literary and theatrical aspects."

Zhang Nan first explained Wu Jin's doubts, and then said: "And what's the point of always putting things like gift films in the backcountry of rats carrying guns for their own entertainment? With Michael Bay's participation, this Basically, it won’t be a problem for the film to enter the North American film market.”

Wu Jin: "..."

Director Zhang, it has to be you!

This idea is Qingqi.

After a moment of silence, Wu Jin slowly said: "You have said so, so I must help with this matter."

Seeing that Wu Jin agreed, Zhang Nan patted his shoulder and went to perform his part again.

Zhang Nan's scene is not complicated, it's just some dialogue in the space station, plus a scene where the space station explodes and ignites Jupiter.

They are all special effects scenes. Zhang Nan's scenes are not many and not difficult.

So just as Old Luke expected, the filming was completed very quickly, and it didn't even take more than ten days.

……

March 3th. [Tomb Raider: Origin of War] simultaneously landed in the mainland and North American movie markets.

There are two reasons why [Tomb Raider: Origins] can be released simultaneously in mainland China and North America.

The first is that the March schedule is originally reserved for imported films in the Mainland.

The second is that "Tomb Raider: Origins" has added Wu Yanzu, who has North American nationality, debuted in Hong Kong and is a Chinese actor, as an important role.

However, the heroine in this film "Tomb Raider" has been replaced.

Without it.

After having a child who can inherit Zhang Nan's wealth, Jun Ji-hyun's desire to go out for filming has completely disappeared.

So the heroine of this movie [Tomb Raider: Origins] was replaced by Swedish female artist Alicia Vikander.

Zhang Nan is still somewhat impressed by this Swedish female artist named Alicia Vikander.

Because this Alicia Vikander released an R-rated movie-[Green Knight] in 2021, which gave Zhang Nan a feeling of North American Tang Wei.

Of course.

Alicia Vikander and Tang Wei are a little different.

Tang Wei has no chance or fame at all. Only by taking off her clothes first and becoming famous can she get the chance and fame of [Lust, Caution].

Alicia Vikander is a bit of the opposite.

However, although "Tomb Raider: Origin" was released simultaneously in mainland China and North America, the box office can only be said to be average.

Because there is also "Black Panther" in the mainland, which is promoted with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and in North America, it is promoted with black elements. The game adaptation of "Tomb Raider: Origins" is also Projects that have no real success are indeed being suppressed.

Especially in North America.

It’s now 2018, and although the slogan Black Lives Matter has not yet been shouted, it is already gaining momentum.

It is under this trend that Marvel Studios' "Black Panther" directly grossed US$700 million in box office in North America.

Just talking about box office data may not reflect the influence of [Black Panther] in this ideological trend in North America.

Just say it!
"Black Panther", which grossed US$7 million at the box office, was the box office champion in North America in 2018.

And the runner-up is not an unknown person, but the US$3 million for the final part of the third phase of Marvel Studios' cinematic universe plan - "Avengers 6.78".

It can only be said that in the future, the North American film market will begin to completely darken - the darkening here refers to the darkening of the protagonist's skin, not only because of the influence of social atmosphere, but also because it is really profitable!

Just by turning the male protagonist into a black man, it can be the final film of the movie universe planning stage that Marvel Studios has arranged for more than ten years. No one can resist this temptation!

Moreover, it is not only [Black Panther] that affects the box office of [Tomb Raider: Origins], but also [Pacific Rim 2: Uprising], which is released a week apart.

It’s just that this [Pacific Rim 2: Uprising] did not become a co-production like its previous life.

Because China Film already has "Transformers", "Mission: Impossible"... and other series, Da Tiantian has even invested in Longbow Film and Television, and there is no shortage of film contracts.

However, relying on the residual power of the previous game "Pacific Rim 1" that rekindled the popularity of mecha movies, this "Pacific Rim 2: Uprising" can still cause a lot of trouble for "Tomb Raider: Origin".
