How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 185

end of June.

[Star Wars Episode 1] and [Notting Hill] both ended their large-scale screenings and stepped into the rhythm of sporadic screenings.

The box office appeal value in Zhang Nan's golden finger also ended the previous rapid momentum, nodding at 38 billion, and started pacing.

This is the difference between North American theaters and mainland theaters.

Mainland movies are usually drawn when the time comes. If you want to postpone, you have to apply for an extension key.

On the North American side, as long as there is still money to be made, or if there is no better film, then it can be left forever.

[Star Wars Episode 1] has a global box office in the early billions, surpassing [Jurassic Park 1], and won the bronze medal in the global film history box office rankings.

It is only below 19.6 billion [Survival of the Doomsday 1] and 18.4 billion [Titanic].

Relying on this achievement, George Lucas can be said to have returned to the top in one fell swoop in Hollywood.

In a short period of time, its momentum in Hollywood is stronger than that of James Cameron.

Because of James Cameron's "Titanic", the hero drowned, the heroine died of old age, and the ship sank.

There is nothing left to photograph.

There is really no way to make a sequel in a short time.

If you really want to start, the latest material will have to wait until 20, more than 2023 years later.

That's too long ago.

And George Lucas's [Star Wars Episode 1] actually planned a trilogy.

And this first film is so successful at the box office, the sequel is already on the way, and it will be released in the next few years.

In terms of single-chip performance, George Lucas can't beat James Cameron.

But I can't stand George Lucas playing a series of films, playing more and playing less.

And James Cameron is notoriously slow to make films.

So in the past few years, George Lucas's name will firmly suppress James Cameron.

If there is no Zhang Nan, then the Hollywood No. 1 title in the past few years will fall on the head of George Lucas.

But unfortunately, the world has no ifs.

On single-chip results.

Zhang Nan's "Survival at the End of Days 1" has a global box office of 19.6 billion US dollars, which is even stronger than that of "Titanic" with a global box office of 18.4 billion US dollars.

Play more and play less.

Coincidentally, Zhang Nan's "Survival in the Doomsday" series is also the same.

And the last two parts of the [Star Wars Prequel] trilogy are still on the way.

However, the last two parts of the [Doomsday Survival] trilogy have already been produced and are coming to an end.

Yes.

[Survival at the End of Days 2.3] The filming of the two parts has ended in mid-July.

Because there are not many special effects in it.

After more than four months of post-processing, the finished film of "Survival at the End of the World 2.3" has basically come out.

The billion-dollar investment project has made Hollywood giants very concerned about【Survival of the Doomsday 2.3】.

So even Zhang Nan is still filming in the crew of [The Sixth Sense].

As soon as the news of "Survival at the End of the World 2.3" came out, Hollywood giants sent people to contact Zhang Nan.

When to advertise?
When will it be released?
How to show it?

How long is the cooling-off period between two releases?

All kinds of noisy discussions made Zhang Nan feel dizzy.

Zhang Nan didn't want to get involved, because it meant nothing to him.

After all, he had already sold the share of 15 million US dollars in his hand through Wall Street, and got [-] billion US dollars - of course, Zhang Nan didn't know how much Wall Street sold.

Zhang Nan wanted to get away with the excuse that he was filming and couldn't accept interruptions.

But looking at the producer of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality"-an international capital that is not a Hollywood giant, with envious eyes the whole time, watching a group of Hollywood giants fighting each other, wishing to join in the attitude.

I also looked at the director—M-Nate Shyamalan. This director is an Asian immigrant from North America, and he is not yet famous at this time.

Zhang Nan knew that this reason was completely useless.

"Stop arguing, start promoting right away, the Christmas time will be released, and the two films will be released together." The annoyed was really impatient, and Zhang Nan said directly.

Then the scene fell silent.

Because these Hollywood giants prefer the release time of [Survival at the End of the World 2.3] to the summer vacation of 2000.

After all, for an investment of one billion US dollars, one must choose a good schedule.

But the reason why these Hollywood moguls are so noisy is mainly because of the size of [Survival of the Last Days 2.3].

If it was placed in any month of the summer vacation in 2000, the other films of that month would not live.

And in the summer vacation of 2000.

In May, there will be an action film [Magic City High Noon] by Disney and Dragon, and a spy film [Mission: Impossible 2] by Paramount and Tom Cruise.

In June, [-]th Century Fox teamed up with Jim Carrey's comedy "One Head Two Big", and Warner Bros.' disaster film "Perfect Storm".

In July, there will be [-]th Century Fox’s comic adaptation [X-Men].

In August, there is DreamWorks' epic drama "Gladiator".

None of them want to run into 【Survival of the Last Days 2.3】.

So next year there will be movies released during the summer vacation, such as Disney, Paramount, Fox, Warner, and DreamWorks, attacking each other.

In the coming year, no film will be released in the summer vacation, such as Columbia, MGM, Universal, New Line and Lucasfilm, it will be on the sidelines.

So the scene became lively.

And Zhang Nan made a sudden decision on this year's Christmas file. Although it avoided the crushing of several films for the summer vacation next year, some people worried: "Zhang, the size of the Christmas file may be too small!"

"How many blockbuster movies with a box office of more than one billion US dollars are based on the schedule?" Zhang Nan did not answer the question, but threw out a phenomenon.

Then a group of people thought about it.

This seems to be the case, although the summer vacation has always been the hottest time.

However, it seems that there are really not many movies with a box office of more than one billion US dollars that come out of the summer vacation.

[Titanic], which was released in December, and [Survival of the Last Days 1], which was released in October, were all released outside the summer vacation.

[Star Wars Episode 1], which just broke the box office of one billion US dollars, is an exception.

"However, when two films are released together, there are only so many film markets in one schedule, will there be any unfavorable situation of competition with each other?" Another wise man asked.

Zhang Nan glanced at the other party angrily.

If this statement is placed on high-consumption products, it does make sense.

After all, it costs thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of things.

After buying one, it is true that few people can make up their minds to buy another in a short period of time.

But for movie tickets, those who can buy one will definitely not be short of buying a second one.

People are impulsive animals, and when they become addicted to watching, how can they resist buying.

The release of the two movies together will actually have a positive impact on the box office of the movie.

　There is one more at four o'clock in the afternoon
