How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 850 [Avatar 2] After four years of filming, the male lead finally joins the crew

North America.

[Avatar 2] On the set.

"So, James, I, the leading actor, will finally have a role in the movie in the fourth year after the filming started?" Zhang Nan said to James Cameron in a teasing tone.

James Cameron:"……"

Can't refute.

Because that's the truth.

Moreover, for the project "Avatar 2", when it was launched, it was still a pure Fox Film Project, but now Fox Film has been acquired by Disney Films.

If Wu Baige's "Windtalkers" brought down MGM Pictures, one of the Hollywood giants, then his "Avatar 2" brought down Fox Films, another Hollywood giant.

So in the face of Zhang Nan's teasing, James Cameron could only respond with silence first, and then abruptly changed the subject: "Zhang, Disney Pictures talked to me and said that in order to show their sincerity in cooperation, the global screening of [Avatar 2] can be conducted entirely through the exclusive method of the Longbow Films VR viewing helmet platform."

Zhang Nan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

I have to say that Disney Pictures' sincerity is quite appropriate.

Because the box office of "Avatar 2" in the original time and space was as high as 23.02 billion US dollars.

If this wave of "Avatar 2" is shown on Changgong Film and Television's VR viewing helmet platform, Zhang Nan will pull in 2.302%, or million US dollars in box office revenue.

Oh no.

At half-price box office, it should be half of 2.302 million, 1.151 million US dollars.

But the profit of more than 100 million US dollars is already a lot.

However, the profit of more than 100 million US dollars alone is not enough for Zhang Nan to agree to in-depth cooperation terms with Disney Pictures on the Changbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform.

“I received your sincerity. If you have time, please reply to the people at Disney Studios. There is no need to do this.

Since I also have a considerable share in the box office revenue of "Avatar 2", making it an exclusive platform for Changgong Film and Television's VR viewing helmet will also affect my personal income.

So [Avatar 2] should be released simultaneously in traditional physical theaters and Longbow Films VR viewing helmet platform!" Zhang Nan responded to the new topic raised by James Cameron.

James Cameron looked at Zhang Nan in surprise.

Because in his estimation, Zhang Nan would readily agree when he heard that Disney Pictures was willing to make "Avatar 2" exclusive on the Changbow Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform.

After all, in the current global film history box office rankings, although the "Avatar" series is weaker than "The Wandering Earth 1.2", it is only weaker than "The Wandering Earth 1.2" and ranks third.

At the same time, when "The Wandering Earth 1.2" was released, Changgong Film and Television's VR viewing helmet platform did not have the momentum it has today, and "The Wandering Earth 3" would not be released before "Avatar 2".

So Zhang Nan's rejection of the exclusive cooperation for "Avatar 2" is basically equivalent to the three game console platforms, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, rejecting the user appeal brought by a top game masterpiece ranked third in the world.

"I'll help you convey the message, but will you really not reconsider it?" James Cameron asked again, thinking for Zhang Nan.

“No, the Longbow Films VR viewing helmet platform is not lacking in the appeal of the blockbuster [Avatar 2] to the audience. I also have the [Countdown] series, [Voldemort] series, [The Legend of Sauron] series... These projects that are in cooperation with different Hollywood giants can all be put on the Longbow Films VR viewing helmet platform.

If the Hollywood giants really want to boycott me, don't forget that after "Titanic", we filmed the "Survival" series together, and then developed the "Resurgence" series.

The copyright is in my hands, and I can restart it at any time." Zhang Nan shrugged.

And we are very confident about the restart of the "Doomsday" series.

There is no way it is insufficient.

Because next year Tom Cruise will use "Top Gun 2" to show North America how powerful old wine in new bottles is.

Almost forty years have passed since the release of Top Gun 2022 in 2, and it will be released in 1986.

However, "Top Gun 2" relied on sentimentality to crush "Avatar 2" in North America. James Cameron was a little speechless after Zhang Nan's response.

Because he thought about it carefully, in terms of quality alone, series such as the "Voldemort" series, the "Legend of Sauron" series... and so on, are indeed inferior to "Avatar 2".

But in terms of quantity, "Avatar 2" is really no match for these films starring Zhang Nan.

Not to mention the influence of the [Doomsday] series, which can be said to be Zhang Nan's masterpiece at his peak.

The previous trilogy of "Survivor" grossed nearly 1.2 billion US dollars at the global box office in the s, which is no less impressive than the current "The Wandering Earth " box office of to billion US dollars.

Needless to say, the adapted work "Resurgence 1.2" grossed billion US dollars.

However, Zhang Nan later received more and more film contracts, all of which were series that deepened his ties with Hollywood giants, so the "Rebirth" series stopped with the second part.

Otherwise, the "Resurgence" series will definitely become the top series in Hollywood.

Of course.

The current "Survival" and "Resurgence" series are also Hollywood's leading series.

After all, you can't say that a series with a cumulative global box office of 5 or 6 billion US dollars is not top-notch.

The cumulative box office of many of Hollywood's top blockbuster series may not even be 50 or 60 billion US dollars.

"Turn on the film." James Cameron, who had been confronted by Zhang Nan twice in a row, shouted angrily.

Zhang Nan: "..."

Are you stimulated by this?
The stability of the psychological defense line needs to be improved!

……

That is, when Zhang Nanfei went to North America to film, the mainland's Lunar New Year box office also entered its most intense stage.

12 month 31 day.

"Send You a Little Red Flower", starring Yi Yang Qianxi and Liu Haochun, has been released in two major distribution channels: traditional physical theaters in mainland China and Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform.

Originally, the producers of "Send You a Little Red Flower" did not have high expectations for the box office of "Send You a Little Red Flower".

After all, when it comes to leading actors, the era of mainland traffic has passed, and even if it hasn't passed, Yi Yang Qianxi is not considered a top-tier traffic star.

There is no need to say more about Liu Haochun, she is just a new actress of "Mou Girl".

Even because the resources of his two films are good, some smearing remarks about Liu Haochun have already begun to appear.

And if we talk about the subject matter of the movie, "Send You a Little Red Flower" is also a very unpleasant type.

Tragedy, illness, suffering... and other labels cannot be compared with "Warm Hug", the latest comedy film from Mahua Kaixin Films.

Yes.

Also released at the same time as "Send You a Little Red Flower" is "Warm Hug" produced by Mahua Kaixin Films.

In other words, the emergence of Changgong Film and Television's VR viewing helmet platform has weakened the competitiveness of mainland films released at the same time.

At the same time, in the movie "Warm Hug", Hao Jian did not play the leading role because he wanted to transform himself, but only made a guest appearance.

Otherwise, the producers of "Send You a Little Red Flower" will definitely postpone the release of "Send You a Little Red Flower".

However, what no one expected was that on the first day of its release, "Send You a Little Red Flower" earned a half-price box office of 5.32 million yuan on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform.

However, "Warm Hug" only had a box office of half that price, 3.25 million RMB.
