This director is very reliable

Chapter 475 It's hard to surpass (14)

After Shen Changlin left the box, he directly made a phone call to Rob Cowen...

First of all, the opening scale of "The Megalodon" ranks the second largest in the history of North American box office in August. Even so, due to the mediocre early word-of-mouth-the test screening "Rotten Tomatoes" rate of 49% failed, the Hollywood industry Earlier, it was believed that the film's box office prospects were not optimistic, and the box office was predicted to be only US$2000 million to US$2400 million.

It is obviously underestimating the enthusiasm of North American audiences for shark-type films.

The midnight show directly cut 480 million U.S. dollars.

"Shark movies are not uncommon, but really big productions are rare! We invested $1.6 million, really big productions!"

"This time it will be released in 68 countries and regions around the world... sure!"

"Okay, I will be responsible for China!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Changlin smiled.

In fact, Shen Changlin has been under a lot of pressure since the establishment of the "Megalodon" project...

Nonsense, with an expenditure of more than 8 million yuan, if the global market does not explode, it will definitely be the Waterloo of Changlin Film and Television.

A bunch of people in the industry are waiting for him to fail!

Once "Megalodon" fails, the brand that Changlin Film and Television has finally launched is likely to disappear soon, and the gathered directors will probably leave...

$480 million for the midnight show, a little peace of mind...

……

The news that the North American midnight show of "Megalodon" exceeded expectations soon became a hot search on Weibo...

It can be regarded as helping the domestic box office.

"The Megalodon" was released on August 8th, and it's not without rivals. "Mr. Good Fortune", "Temporary Cohabitation", and "Anti-Corruption Storm" were all released on August 9th.

Probably want to catch the last train of the domestic protection month in the summer...

"The Finale of the Four Famous Manhunters" will be released on August 8, Guangguang does not want to hit the schedule with this blockbuster!

"The Megalodon", of course, is very important to the theaters. A big production of 1.6 million US dollars, a new benchmark for Sino-US co-productions, at least a new benchmark in terms of investment. On the first day, 46% of the films were scheduled, and [-] screenings were arranged...

But no one can guarantee whether the audience will buy it or not!

The Sino-US co-production started from "Summer Love" in 98, and the Sino-US co-produced blockbusters "The King of Kung Fu" and "The Mummy 2008" in 3...

All were lumped into the category of big bad movies.

Even if "Kung Fu Dream" broke 1.76 million US dollars in North America, the box office in the mainland is only 4700 million...

Still the same sentence, co-productions are difficult to co-produce, and Hong Kong films will be unacceptable when they go north, and they are said to be co-produced by China and the United States!

Therefore, many voices of reflection came out: North America exceeded expectations, but it does not mean that the Chinese market exceeded expectations...

or 'Is this trending meaningful? '

'1.6 million US dollars, more than one billion yuan, why not donate it?Where did all this money come from? '

These reflective voices are actually not optimistic about "The Megalodon"...

Some are rhythmic, others are spontaneous.

After all, previous Sino-US co-productions gave people the impression that there was no shortage of money, but the filming was embarrassing. In addition to not being optimistic about Sino-US co-productions, the shark type was also not optimistic...

Shark movies, except for "Jaws", are not very good. Compared with "Jaws", many shark movies such as "Deep Sea Shark" and "Shark Mouth Escape" also point to human nature, but they are more Most of the time, it focuses on rendering scenes and horror atmosphere.

And there is also such a brain-opening, unconstrained, absurd and funny music as "Sharknado"...

Before "Megalodon" was released, a bunch of self-media had already claimed that they had already smelled a strong smell of bad movies!
After the first weekend, these voices are still there. Of course, I changed the rhetoric: "The Meg" is just a qualified Sino-US co-production film. I don't understand why everyone is so excited! '

Why are you excited?
Looking at the results, in the Chinese market, the box office of "The Megalodon" reached 3.5 million US dollars in the first weekend, in the North American market, the box office of "The Megalodon" reached 5200 million US dollars in the first weekend, and in the global situation, the box office of "The Megalodon" reached 1.7 million US dollars in the first weekend!
According to the most conservative estimate, the global box office of "Megalodon" will exceed 5 million US dollars, and may even reach [-] million US dollars!

It is very likely to be among the top ten of the year.

It might even break into the top [-] at the global box office...

……

"1.7 million US dollars, No. [-] at the global box office?"

The results are out... the one who regrets the most is Pharaoh!

In fact, the box office of "The Megalodon" was 1.08 million on the first day, and the word-of-mouth was 6.6 points. He already regretted it, because the box office of "The Megalodon" on the first day in North America was 2100 million U.S. dollars~
For the project "Megalodon", Shen Changlin approached Guang Guang and proposed joint investment between the two companies, but Lao Wang refused!
Wang Changtian is a particularly stable filmmaker, advocating the big with the small...

In his opinion, a project like "Megalodon" is too risky...

It's not that I don't believe in Shen Changlin's vision, but 1.6 million US dollars...forget it!
So, "Megalodon" Ray refused.

But after discussing with Li Xiaoping, Lao Wang had to admit that even if "Megalodon" came to him again, he would choose not to invest--Light now invests in pan-entertainment, investing in more than [-] companies!

The so-called pan-entertainment, in fact, is to establish its own entertainment system through large-scale mergers and acquisitions or investment.

But it also put the company's liquidity under pressure.

From last year to this year, Enlight Media had more than 3000 large and small mergers and acquisitions projects, most of which ranged from 1 million to [-] million yuan in investment, which put enormous pressure on the company's liquidity.

He can't afford to gamble now!

However, "The Megalodon" made him see the huge prospect of Sino-US co-productions, so he continued to cooperate with Justin Lin and spent 3000 million US dollars to create "Rampage Hollywood"...

I can't come up with 3000 million, but [-] million US dollars is still not a big problem!

"The Megalodon" was a hit, and Ray immediately announced the launch of the "Rampage Hollywood" project.

Huayi's Huang Zhonglei was surprised, but also a little excited - Huayi also led the investment in a Hollywood blockbuster, and Brad Pitt's "Fury" also followed suit...

"Cooperate with Hollywood for a super blockbuster, "Fury", starring Brad Pitt, an investment of at least [-] million US dollars, and global distribution."

It's embarrassing, I was stunned by netizens' "The Megalodon" is a Sino-US co-production, not a Hollywood production! '

Mainly, the latter paragraph is too flattering to participate in the international market and become a major player. This was unimaginable three years ago, and Huayi is already qualified to enter the market! '

Bona announced a cooperation agreement with Twentieth Century Fox, announcing investment in six new works of Twentieth Century Fox, including "Code 47", "X-Men", "Independence Day 2", "The Greatest Showman" and Fantastic Four 2015…

It's ridiculous, "The Meg" has only been released for a weekend, and your reaction is too big!

Then Yinji Media and Kemei Pictures also released a bunch of PPTs, and the secondary market was full of joy.

It feels like "Megalodon" has become a prop for them to deceive the secondary market.

By the way, there is also LeTV, which announced the launch of three major productions of "The Great Wall", "Turandot" and "Asura"... It is also a Hollywood team!
Shen Changlin saw the news about the TV trilogy in the newspaper, and felt...how should I put it?

The whole person trembled, this result is absolutely unprecedented!

However, how did "Asura" have anything to do with TV?
