How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 16 $1.05 billion in the first week

$900 million on the first day and $1200 million on the second day.

Since the third day of release was on Friday, the box office of [Jingcheng Martial Art Museum] ushered in a wave of soaring, directly soaring to 3100 million U.S. dollars.

On Saturday of the fourth day, the box office of [Jingcheng Martial Art Museum] dropped a bit, but it also earned 2800 million US dollars.

On the weekend of the fifth day, because Michael Bay's "Brave to Kill the Island" also started its premiere, it took away a lot of heat and box office from "Jingcheng Martial Arts", so that the single-day box office of "Jingcheng Martial Arts" It fell directly to the level of 2500 million US dollars.

However, [Jingcheng Wuguan], which raked in a box office of 1.05 million US dollars in the first week, has already firmly sat at the top of the North American weekly box office rankings, and has thrown away the box office gap of more than 2 million US dollars from No. Far ahead.

And for [Jingcheng Wuguan], which costs 500 million US dollars, although the weakening trend of the box office has appeared, it doesn't matter.

In North America, it raked in US$1.05 million in its first week and topped the No.1 weekly box office ranking, which is good enough.

Although there is still a long way to go before the achievement of breaking through [-] million, and the box office trend at this time also makes it almost impossible for the total North American box office of [Jingcheng Wuguan] to exceed [-] million US dollars.

But [Jingcheng Martial Arts] broke through the box office of [-] million U.S. dollars before it was released, which is already a certainty.

500 million investment in exchange for at least [-] million US dollars at the box office, this deal can be said to make Disney money.

So much so that Disney directly gave Zhang Nan, a hero who is not only a screenwriter, but also a director, and the protagonist, an after-tax red envelope of 300 million US dollars.

Relying on the box office success of [Jingcheng Wuguan], Zhang Nan successfully landed in Hollywood as he wished.

After Li Xiaolong more than ten years ago and his eldest brother Chenglong a year ago, he became the third oriental kung fu superstar to land in Hollywood, and the first Kung Fu superstar in mainland China.

The wave of oriental action movies that the big brother Chenglong set off in Hollywood before raised his hand again, making the wave of oriental action movies that had been somewhat ebbing trend become popular again.

The other seven out of the top eight in Hollywood saw the big sales of [Jingcheng Wuguan], and their eyes were red.

One by one, either with great fanfare or secretly, they also began to study their success codes, wanting to copy...or imitate.

After all, it's about making money, not cold.

The project approval form of [Jingcheng Wuguan] is not a state secret either.

They are also among the top eight in Hollywood, so it is easy to get them.

The persons in charge of several giant companies looked at the project approval application of [Jingcheng Wuguan], the reason for the project written in black and white: imitate the style of Chenglong, follow the trend of oriental action movies.

"The current Kung Fu movies plus Chinese, is this how to make money?" Duowei had such a question in his mind.

But even though I was a little confused, I spent 500 million to follow suit and gain a chance.

Not to mention the top eight production companies in Hollywood, even Hollywood's second-tier film and television companies can do it.

So in the second week after the release of [Jingcheng Wuguan], the project departments of major Hollywood film and television companies received countless applications for the approval of oriental kung fu movies.

Of course.

Compared to imitating and following suit, Hollywood companies of this level are more inclined to poach the wall.

In just a few days, Zhang Nan, who became a hit, his mobile phone seemed to have become a hotline, and there was no time to stop.

People from all walks of life called in turns.

"Yeah, okay, okay, let's meet and talk." Zhang Nan dealt with the people from Twentieth Century Fox on the other end of the phone with an enthusiastic tone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Nan's cell phone turned off automatically.

Looking at the mobile phone that had automatically blacked out, Zhang Nan felt helpless, and asked Old Luke who was on the sofa with a plaster cast on his arm, "Luke, is this the trouble of becoming famous?"

While talking, he replaced the battery of his mobile phone.

The corners of Old Luke's eyes twitched when he was asked. This question was too murderous for Old Luke who had been wandering in Hollywood for half his life and hadn't made a name for himself.

Seeing that Old Luke was silent, Zhang Nan was doing nothing. He looked at his arm in plaster and asked, "Old Luke, what's the matter with your hand?"

what happened?

That's a long story.

He was beaten by someone, but he was not in front of others, so there was nothing to say about this.

Old Luke just regretted it.

He never expected that his brother-in-law would coax his sister out for a trip while he was in the capital for a period of time, so that he would suffer this misfortune.

But with a plaster cast with one hand... and a pair of eyes swollen for a while, in exchange for the small coffers of his brother-in-law for most of his life, old Luke felt that this was a good deal.

But Disney certainly can't wait any longer.

After all, if his brother-in-law can coax his sister out once, there will be another time. He doesn't want to go to the hospital every time his sister goes on a trip.

But where can he go without Disney?

Nepotism, he only has one, after all, he only has one sister.

At this moment, Zhang Nan had just replaced the battery of his mobile phone and turned it on, when the screen turned on, a call came.

Zhang Nan gave Luke a sign apologetically, and then connected the phone.

Old Luke looked at Zhang Nan, his eyes suddenly lit up.

There seems to be a job in front of me!

When Zhang Nan hung up the phone, he realized that there was something wrong with the way old Luke looked at him.

"Old Luke, what do you want...to do?"

There was a pause in the middle, it was Zhang Nan who changed the statement from what to do to what to do, otherwise it would always feel a little cold in the buttocks.

Old Luke didn't hold back, he was an old driver in Hollywood after all, "Zhang, I think you need an agent now, otherwise you'd be bored to death just answering the phone every day."

Zhang Nan nodded when he heard the words, this proposal is not bad.

Although he had been prepared for a long time, Zhang Nan still felt that he was not well prepared after becoming famous at first.

"Old Luke, do you have any recommendations?" Zhang Nan knew Old Luke very well, so he would not aim at nothing.

Old Luke didn't speak, just pointed his thumb at himself like before when he puffed up his chest in front of Old Luke and proposed himself as a director and screenwriter.

"You?" Zhang Nan's tone was very surprised.

Hearing Zhang Nan's tone of surprise, Old Luke also thought that it might be too inappropriate for him to completely let go of his previous job as a producer in Beijing, which left a bad impression on Zhang Nan.

But he who blew up the small coffers of Disney's vice president really couldn't stay in Disney anymore, and he didn't want to leave Hollywood.

Only Zhang Nan, the manager of the popular fried chicken, was a good choice for him, so he hurriedly explained:
"Zhang, don't look at me as a fool in the capital. In fact, it is because of the language barrier that I can't carry out the work, but in fact my work ability is still very good. Otherwise, think about it, can I be a manager in Disney?

And in Hollywood, talent alone is not enough, you also need connections.

I'm not bragging about this. I've been in Hollywood for decades, and I haven't met an agent who can compete with me. "

Zhang Nan: "..."

How old Luke got his position as the manager, he knows all too well.

It can be said that there is no ability at all, it all depends on nepotism.

But old Luke in terms of connections and experience in Hollywood.

Indeed, as he said, few brokers can compete with him.

After all, whoever works as an agent, if he has a nepotism at the level of the eight major Hollywood vice presidents like Old Luke, he will be an ass agent!
