Chapter 830 Revisiting the 2012 male protagonist’s classic line: He said it’s okay, so you should run for your life

mid-November.

Mainland film markets have continuously released "Terminator: Dark Fate", "Battle of Midway", "The Beneficiary" and "About Winter". These movies have a box office of 200 to 300 million yuan.

This has increased the popularity of the mainland film market.

Without it.

Putting aside [Terminator: Dark Fate] and [Battle of Midway], not to mention these two sequels to the old IP series and Roland Emmerich’s new work.

"The Beneficiary" and "About Winter" are purely domestic films, and they are domestic films starring second- and third-tier stars.

The starring team of "The Beneficiary" is Dapeng, Liu Yan and Zhang Zhixian, and the starring team of "About Winter" is Ma Shichun, Huo Jianhua and Wei Daxun.

You must know that the box office of 200 to 300 million yuan is indeed not high in the current mainland film market environment.

The producers only have 70 to 80 million yuan in their hands.

no way.

This can be calculated from the fact that "Two Tigers" stars Uncle Ge, Chef Fan and Qiao Xiyu, and the total production cost is only 5000 million yuan.

At this time, mainland film and television practitioners did not expect such a thing to happen, but practitioners in the North American film market already had a feeling.

No one in the mainland expected that the mainland's film and television industry, which was in a promising situation, would come to an abrupt halt for more than a hundred days due to a storm that swept the world, directly wiping out the Spring Festival schedule and half of the Lunar New Year schedule.

But they found that not only the ward, but also the corridors were crowded with people, and even the morgue was full of people, and there were not enough body bags.

Finally, I reluctantly dialed the hospital's phone number.

After the call was made, the hospital said there were not enough ambulances. If you needed medical treatment, it was best to take advantage of the ambulance or drive to the hospital.

It can't be smooth.

Because if you are in a neighborhood where you first have a cold and then a fever, no matter how many painkillers you take, it will have no effect.

However, it is precisely because of this situation that the sales of Longbow Film and Television’s VR viewing helmets have been much smoother.

No matter how stupid you are at this time, you know that staying in the hospital is probably of no use. When you die, you probably won’t be able to seek medical treatment, so you might as well go home and resign yourself to fate.

You are surprised.

Then not long after you walked in the door, the doorbell was rang by an outsider.

Of course.

And if you just find some second- or third-tier artists and build a crew, you can get a 200% profit rate, which is hard not to get people to take advantage of you.

But the production cost of [Beneficiary] and [About Winter], because it is not a big name, is only 30 to 40 million yuan.

And when you come to the hospital with dizziness and headache.

If you think you're going to be slaughtered, go ahead and at least save your life first.

One in ten people has been infected. It is difficult to ignore such a large-scale incident.

You must know that there are only more than 300 million people in North America.

At this time, the number of people in North America who have been recruited has climbed to the order of 30 to 40 million people.

Because there are really not many people who dare to run outside at this time.

As a result, when you opened the door with surprise, you found that the other person was a salesman wearing something similar to a motorcycle helmet. He knocked the helmet on his head with his hand and asked you: "Want to experience the ultimate movie-watching experience? It’s only $9999 and can be repaid in installments.”

You will definitely refuse at this time. After all, the price of a movie ticket is only a few dollars or more than a dozen dollars, and the price of a 10,000-dollar helmet is indeed a bit ridiculously expensive.

Not to mention that you are worried about your life at this time, how can you still be in the mood to watch a movie?
Then the seller on the opposite side started to use his big move and said: "Sir, do you think this is just a helmet for watching movies? Take a look at the situation in your community now!
Many people have been infected, many have been cremated, and some people may not have even lined up for cremation, but have been buried directly.

This helmet from our company can not only watch movies, but also has strong sealing, isolation and disinfection properties after wearing it.

What you buy is not a helmet for watching movies, what you buy is your own survival rate in this big event!

Ten thousand dollars is indeed a bit expensive.

But you don’t have to worry about repaying this debt in the future.

After this crisis, how many jobs do you think will be available in North America?
So with your $10,000, you are not only buying a helmet that can watch movies, a guarantee of your own survival rate, but also a bright career future! "

Who can resist such sales tactics?
Therefore, the demand for Longbow Film and Television VR helmets has skyrocketed in North America.

In other words, Zhang Nan only shipped newly produced helmets to North America for the sake of the mainland.

Otherwise, it is estimated that more than 700,000 helmets will have been sold out at this time.

……

Longbow Film and Television City, in the office.

With the helmets selling like hotcakes in North America, news inevitably spread in Europe as well.

Among them, Roland Emmerich, a well-known director who has a close relationship with Zhang Nan and has worked with him many times, specifically called Zhang Nan to inquire.

"Zhang, is this matter really that big of a deal? I feel like there's not much movement in the media!" Roland Emmerich, as a purebred German, values ​​rigor and trust in the German official media. Asked Zhang Nan on the phone.

Zhang Nan: "..."

Of course there was no movement!
The current Western public opinion system is basically controlled by North American capital.

If this kind of thing only happened in Europe and the United States, but not in the mainland, there would be no point in reporting it.

After all, given the current level of technological advancement, no matter how terrifying this wave of global health events is, it only affects millions of people.

Compared with the nearly 100 million fatalities of the Black Death, it is not worth mentioning at all!
"Roland, have you seen the British drama [Yes, Minister]?" Zhang Nanyi asked, changing the subject pointedly.

Roland Emmerich on the other side of the phone heard this and said, "No, what's wrong?"

"I thought you had seen it. After all, the line spoken by the male protagonist in [2012] is quite similar to the four stages of diplomatic rhetoric in [Yes, Minister]."

After Zhang Nan answered, he repeated the line from the actor in [2012] to Roland Emmerich: "That guy is an actor, and he is reading his lines! If he tells you that everything is normal, you should immediately Escaped."

Roland Emmerich on the other side of the phone was silent.

Because he was not stupid, he could hear the meaning behind Zhang Nan's somewhat funny answer.

Moreover.

A helmet costs not only US$10,000, but even US$100,000, which Roland Emmerich cannot afford.

"Zhang, how many helmets can I buy?" Roland Emmerich asked with determination.

"If you wait in line, it's only $10,000. Maybe when it's your turn, it can be cheaper, because I've expanded my production capacity now and the cost has dropped further.

But if you are quick, for the sake of friendship, I will charge you one hundred thousand dollars apiece, and I will charter a plane to send it to you, but the maximum is ten. " Zhang Nan replied.
