How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 137
To be honest, the quality of [Rush Hour 1] is pretty good.

Although the jokes in it are very common, but because most of them are formed by body movements, they are very common, there are no cultural barriers, and they are very easy to understand.

After all, being beaten is a disadvantage, and beating people is joy. Using all kinds of furniture to beat people in various tricks is fun and fun.

Perhaps the impact on the audience at the beginning is not as funny as pure language and plot jokes.

But because it's not the relatively imaginary things like showing off lip service and juggling plots, but real actions.

The audience knows that when an actor is performing, he has paid more than in a literary play, so it will make people subconsciously smile at the artist's dedication.

It belongs to the relatively light taste, but it feels like drinking to quench your thirst.

So even though he watched it many times, Zhang Nan watched it again. After the whole process, he still smiled most of the time.

After the premiere, Li Lianlian originally wanted to communicate with Zhang Nanduo.

Because he can get out in Xiangjiang, he is definitely not stupid.

Otherwise, why didn't Zhao Wenzhuo and Wu Jin have such a prosperous life together with Xiangjiang?

One of these two people had the fancy of Old Freak Xu, and the other was not weak in his own strength, and the Hong Kong circle had already declined at that time.

It can be said that the situation and competition between the latter two in Xiangjiang is much better than that of Li Lianhe in Xiangjiang-look at who Li Lianhe is in the same period, and they will be [-]% on both Mondays.

So during the brief conversation, Li Lianhe vaguely understood that the meaning hidden in Zhang Nan's words seemed to be that he wanted him to help him lead newcomers.

If put before.

Or if someone said something like this, Li Lian would definitely refuse it without even thinking about it.

But now he is still affected by the failure of [Lethal Weapon 4].

And it was Zhang Nan who made such a request, and he was regarded as a top figure among the top figures in Hollywood.

This made Li Lianhe hesitate, so he wanted to talk to Zhang Nan more.

But before he could speak, he saw Zhang Nan leaving the scene with Nakamori Akina and Ye Quanzhen in his arms, so he had no choice but to give up.

Zhang Nan himself is in a villa in Hollywood.

After the end of the three-day weekend.

"Rush Hour"'s first week at the box office is out -- $4000 million.

Compared with the 3300 million US dollars of the original time and space, the box office was nearly 700 million US dollars higher.

Among them, it is estimated that Zhang Nan, the producer, can have a credit of 200 million US dollars at the box office.

The remaining $500 million at the box office is due to Will Smith.

But the remaining 3300 million US dollars in the first week's box office is the credit of the big brother Chenglong.

After all, Chenglong, the former big brother of time and space, took that Chris to win this result.

Many media box office forecasting agencies have predicted the final box office of "Rush Hour" at around US$2 million in North America and US$4 million worldwide.

Although this result, compared with the box office of the two works of Zhang Nan's "Wuguan" series, there is still a gap.

But it's pretty bright.

Because the total investment of [Rush Hour] is only 500 million US dollars.

If the box office predicted by the media is used as the standard, then the rate of return of [Rush Hour] is only lower than that of [Jingcheng Martial Arts], but higher than that of [Modu Martial Arts].

The eldest brother Chenglong also successfully landed in Hollywood with this "Rush Hour".

For a time it can be said that the scenery is infinite.

Zhang Nan gathered the investors of [Survival in the Last Days]: New Line, Universal, Warner, MGM, Columbia...etc. to a meeting.

"The editing and post-processing of the film, as well as some special effects shots, have basically been processed. The conditions for the release will be ready around October. The purpose of calling everyone here today is to determine the release time, and then start doing publicity work. Get ready." Zhang Nan sat at the head of the long conference table and said to the representatives of Hollywood giants on both sides of the long conference table.

The Hollywood tycoons sitting on both sides of the long conference table were a little surprised when they heard this—this film will be released so soon?

The scene paused for a while.

The representative of Universal was the first to speak and said: "I suggest that the film be released in the next summer vacation. After all, the investment of [-] million U.S. dollars is not small. This film needs a schedule with great potential to ensure that it will be as good as possible. box office results."

As soon as Universal's representative said this, many people at the scene nodded their heads, thinking that what he said was quite right.

After all, with an investment of [-] million U.S. dollars, if the film does not have a billion U.S. dollars, it will not even be able to pay back.

It is a very safe way to release it on a schedule with great potential.

Universal's representatives were very emotional when they saw their speech received so many supporters.

But Zhang Nan frowned when he heard this.

Wait until next year's summer vacation to release?

Zhang Nan doesn't have that patience anymore, because with the release of "Crazy for Mary" and "Rush Hour".

The box office appeal of his golden finger, if nothing else, will reach the figure of 36.6 billion US dollars.

Although there is no shortage of box office appeal, but... it will not increase.

And this number is a bit too much. If you have the opportunity to throw it out and earn a 50.00% rate of return, it would be a waste to let it go for nothing.

"President Clive, what do you think?" Zhang Nan asked the president of Columbia at the meeting.

Columbia President Clive Sound was taken aback by Zhang Nan's sudden question.

But Clive Sound, who was able to get into the position of president in Columbia, is definitely the best of the best.

Immediately from Zhang Nan's reaction, he knew that Zhang Nan was a little dissatisfied with the release time proposed by the Universal representative.

At the same time, he personally disagrees with the proposal made by the Universal representative.

After all, the box office potential of the summer vacation is indeed not small, but compared to the US$[-] million investment in "Survival at the End of the Day", it is not enough.

And at the end of this year, Columbia's president will be reelected. With his current performance, if there is no accident, he will not be able to be re-elected.

But if "Survival at the End of the World" can be released this year and get a good result, this will be an important achievement for him to fight for re-election.

Of course, if the box office of "Survival at the End of the Day" blows up, his re-election will also be ruined.

But if it's next summer vacation, he will step down steadily-this is always a chance to try!
So Clive Sand replied: "I think we should try to be lucky and put the release time on the day [Titanic] is released."
