Chapter 796 Johnny Depp’s [Joker] Hollywood opens the era of emotion
After some tossing.

The busy schedule before the premiere of [Pirates of the Caribbean 7] is finally over, and it’s time to watch the movie.

In the screening room, next to Zhang Nan's seat was naturally Johnny Depp.

At this time, Johnny Depp took the opportunity and kept saying thank you to Zhang Nan for the filming of "The Greatest Showman".

Words that are similar to those who would go through fire and water without hesitation kept buzzing.

And looking at Johnny Depp’s sincere attitude, and Johnny Depp’s style is indeed suitable, and Zhang Nan really didn’t have much to recommend about that movie.

So Zhang Nan whispered to Johnny Depp: "Do you have any movie appointments recently?"

Johnny Depp's eyes lit up, knowing that Zhang Nan would not be innocent, and he quickly shook his head.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Nan asked: "Todd Phillips, do you know him?"

Johnny Depp was stunned for a moment when he heard this. His mind was obviously racing. After a moment, he said tentatively: "The one who filmed the [Drunk Hangover] trilogy?"

The guests invited to the premiere in the screening room gave warm applause.

Of course.

but……

However, Zhang Nan just listened to Johnny Depp’s good words, so he recommended it without repeating it. It happened that [Pirates of the Caribbean 7] officially started on the big screen at this time, and Zhang Nan didn’t say any more. .

More than two hours later.

It’s just that the project [Joker] was indeed too successful, directly earning over one billion US dollars at the global box office, and it fits Johnny Depp’s crazy temperament so well.

[Pirates of the Caribbean 7] The complete reaction is over.

This applause somewhat overstates the actual quality of [Pirates of the Caribbean 7].

Basically, all the bullshit in the plot has been finished.

The entire "Pirates of the Caribbean" series has been filmed for seven consecutive installments.

This is not to say that the original [Joker] actor Joaquin Phoenix did not perform well.

In fact, Joaquin Phoenix played the role quite well, and he personally made a lot of sacrifices for this role. He lost so much weight that he almost lost his appearance.

Zhang Nan nodded and continued: "He recently cooperated with Warner Pictures to create a project that satirizes the current situation of North American society in the skin of a DC super criminal - [Joker]. If you are interested, you can go Try the male lead, I think this project is pretty good.”

no way.

The story between several important characters is full of betrayals and betrayals. It has been filmed over and over again, and there is nothing new at all.

……

And Zhang Nan also understands Johnny Depp's performance.

After all, Todd Phillips' previous successful projects were still vulgar comedies. This sudden jump into the realm of satire is indeed a bit too abrupt.

Johnny Depp fell silent after listening to Zhang Nan's introduction.

It's like Jiang Wen suddenly acted in a popular idol TV series. Anyone who hears it will be numb.

After all, Zhang Nan is not familiar with Joaquin Phoenix, but is more familiar with Johnny Depp. So when he encounters a good project, he will naturally recommend it to those around him.

Originally, this wave of "Pirates of the Caribbean 7", according to Disney Pictures' idea, was to learn from the original time and space like "Pirates of the Caribbean 5", forcibly adding characters and settings to create conflicts.

But Zhang Nan finally stopped him.

Because only Zhang Nan knows how much harm [Pirates of the Caribbean 5] has caused to the IP value of the entire [Pirates of the Caribbean] series.

It can be said that "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" has completely consumed the entire "Pirates of the Caribbean" series' accumulation of more than ten years, and also lost a lame first mate who had an important and charming role. It is completely worth the loss. Then for this "Pirates of the Caribbean 7" script, Zhang Nan chose to take the path of taking daily life, adventure, strange natural landscapes... and other elements as the main lines.

Speaking directly.

This is [Pirates of the Caribbean 7], a movie for fans. The plot, rhythm... and other factors have to take a backseat to emotion, so the quality is naturally not good.

Of course, due to this kind of attempt, the previous "Pirates of the Caribbean" series has not appeared, so Zhang Nan is also afraid of overturning.

Then on "Pirates of the Caribbean 7", an additional US$7 million was invested in the box office appeal of Goldfinger, bringing the investment in the box office appeal of "Pirates of the Caribbean " to US$ million.

In other words.

As long as "Pirates of the Caribbean 7" has a box office potential of 7 million US dollars, "Pirates of the Caribbean " can reach a global box office of billion US dollars, realizing Zhang Nan's billion dollar box office betting agreement on the movie.

As for "Pirates of the Caribbean 7", does it have an actual global box office appeal of million US dollars?

Zhang Nan thinks there is still some, after all, there are still three thousand nails in the broken ship.

then……

It premiered in mainland China for three days.

[Pirates of the Caribbean 7] directly earned RMB 1.33 million, RMB 1.35 million, and RMB 1.85 million, with a total box office of more than RMB million.

Just look at this trend in the first week.

Just know that "Pirates of the Caribbean 7" will break the one billion yuan box office threshold in the mainland.

Maybe the box office threshold of 2 billion yuan can be touched in one month.

Compared with the three-day box office in the mainland, the three-day box office in North America and Europe is even more terrifying.

Together, the two places contributed nearly US$7 million in box office revenue to "Pirates of the Caribbean 7" during its first three days.

obviously.

[Pirates of the Caribbean 7] This wave of box office sales in Europe and the United States alone will reach billion to billion US dollars.

Including the more than 2 billion yuan in the mainland, the box office is approximately more than 300 million US dollars, as well as the scattered box office in other movie markets.

It is estimated that the extreme box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 7" can hit the global box office threshold of two billion US dollars.

In other words, the real box office potential of this emotional version of "Pirates of the Caribbean 7" should be between and billion US dollars. Zhang Nan's efforts are a bit too much.

However, in Zhang Nan’s eyes, [Pirates of the Caribbean 7] has gone a bit too far.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, "Pirates of the Caribbean 7" is a real emotional line, reaching the point of hitting the global box office of US$ billion.

This cannot be ignored at all.

After all, compared to the original plot, this kind of emotional fans' love for the movie is much simpler.

then.

[The Lion King] 3D production version project, [Terminator: Dark Fate] project, [Knives Out] project, [Jedi Men] project, [Invisible Man] project...

At the end of the day, the old IPs were almost all allocated.

That little clever guy with a quick mind immediately started playing cross-copyright games.

[Detective Pikachu] project was approved, [Tom and Jerry] project was approved, and [Mortal Kombat] project was approved.
