Chapter 418 If there is any extension key, the peak of Big A2007
Another week has passed, and July, the North American summer vacation, is completely over.

In the nearly four weeks and 1 days since Transformers 28, the box office trend has been weak, and the single-day box office has dropped below 500 million US dollars.

But relying on its previous strong performance, [Transformers 1] has already won more than 4 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America.

If nothing else, according to the long-running screening model in North America.

The follow-up "Transformers 1" can also earn more than 1 million US dollars at the box office in North America.

But compared to North America, which is still slow and steady, the release of "Transformers 1" in the mainland will be coming to an end if nothing happens.

Because the movie screening cycle in mainland movie theaters is generally limited to one month.

You have to draw when the time comes, unless you have an extension key.

So Zhang Nan dialed the number of Han Sanpin, the president of Huaying, during a break from filming.

After a few beeps, the call was connected.

After the Chinese-style polite words, Zhang Nan did not mince words and asked directly:
"Mr. Han, I was asking about the Mainland extension key for [Transformers 1] a few days ago. You said you are still applying and have to wait.

Now that July is over, today is August 8st, and in two days it will be July 1rd, one month since [Transformers 7] will be released in the mainland. Has your application been approved?If there is no result, the movie will be forced to be withdrawn. "

"Uh~" Han Sanpin's slightly apologetic voice came from the other side of the phone.

Zhang Nan felt a little bad when he heard Han Sanpin's tone.

"Mr. Han, you were angry with me about the [Transformers 1] mainland key extension issue before. You said you would try your best to give it a try. It can't be ignored!" Zhang Nan said in a somewhat passionate tone.

Han Sanpin on the other side of the phone quickly explained: "I know, but you have to consider me. [Transformers 1]'s box office in the Mainland is far behind other movies. Now it's 12 billion yuan, and even a fraction of it is almost more than 1 billion yuan." The total box office of other movies is much higher, and if [Transformers [-]] is postponed, the box office rankings will be a bit unsightly."

Zhang Nan recalled the box office rankings of mainland movies in 2007. The champion seemed to be Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly Number" released at the end of the year - 2.4 million yuan.

And now the mainland box office of [Transformers 1] has exceeded 12 billion.

It's true that the gap is too big and it doesn't look good.

So Zhang Nan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Mr. Han, you know me. I am so concerned about the extension key of [Transformers 1], not just to get more money for [Transformers 1] in the mainland movie market. Jujube’s box office.

Now [Transformers 1] has exceeded [-] million U.S. dollars in North America, and it will be a matter of course for it to exceed [-] million U.S. dollars in the future.

Moreover, the box office of [Transformers 1] in other movie theaters around the world, excluding mainland China and North America, now totals more than 6 million. If nothing else, it is natural for it to exceed 7 million US dollars.

If you calculate it this way, excluding the box office of the mainland movie theaters, the global box office of [Transformers 1] has now exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

The future box office revenue of 12 billion US dollars is basically a certainty.

The mainland's box office of more than one billion yuan seems to be a lot, but when converted into U.S. funds, it is only a few hundred million. It is not even a box office of 1 million U.S. dollars. It is only a fraction of the global box office of "Transformers [-]". Really not much.

The main reason why I am so concerned about the Mainland extension key of [Transformers 1] is because of the [Transformers] series co-production plan I told you before.

I can tell you in advance, and I'm not threatening you. I'm just stating the facts to you and clearing myself of responsibility.

Your extension key cannot be used. In the subsequent cooperation of the "Transformers" series, if Paramount Pictures drags its feet on the co-production, or even breaks the contract, please don't blame me. "

Zhang Nan is telling the truth. How much box office [Transformers 1] takes in the mainland has something to do with him, but it really doesn’t matter much. He is so concerned about it, mainly because he is afraid that Paramount will cause trouble in this regard. Huaying Bian then blamed him as the middleman for bringing in the project.

After listening to Zhang Nan's narration, Han Sanpin knew that what Zhang Nan said was possible, so he fell silent and couldn't help but said: "But... the current data of [Transformers 1] is indeed too high." It's blown. If it's postponed again..." "Mr. Han, if you can't do it with a one-month extension, why don't you extend it by two days so that [Transformers 1] can have a full screening week? There is no extension and two days of extension, don't look at it. There is a gap of 48 hours, but it is the difference between zero and one, something and nothing!" Zhang Nan gave Han Sanpin advice.

Han Sanpin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Indeed, he really couldn't do it to extend the screening time of "Transformers 1" for another month.

But it’s just a two-day extension, so there’s no problem.

"But, is this possible?" Han Sanpin asked a little uncertainly.

Can you do it?

Do you think the name of Tathagata Buddha is okay?
But Zhang Nan had just thrown away the responsibility. This time it was just a well-intentioned idea. It was impossible to take the blame back, so he said: "I can't guarantee this. I can only say that something is better than nothing."

After chatting for a while, Zhang Nan put down the phone, feeling much relieved because the blame had been thrown away.

……

a few days later.

8 month 3 day.

Mainland China Film Group issued an announcement. The news that [Transformers 1] had obtained an extension key came out, which made the mainland film producers who were about to release it in August so scared that they almost cried.

Many producers were even on the verge of withdrawing the film.

But fortunately, those who dare to play in the film and television industry these days are all brave people.

I carefully watched the [Transformers 1] postponement announcement issued by China Film Studio and found that [Transformers 1] was only postponed for about two days.

After breathing a huge sigh of relief, many people are also wondering, what is the use of Huaying's two-day extension of the key operation for "Transformers 1"?

What's the use?
It's definitely useless here in the mainland.

But it’s very useful here in North America.

Paramount Pictures' stock surged as "Transformers 1" successfully applied for an extension key in the Mainland.

Finance is like that.

As long as the stock market atmosphere is prosperous and bullish.

Such good information, no matter how big or small, as long as it exists, can drive the stock price to rise sharply.

As for what you said about the stock market atmosphere in 2007?

Let's put it this way, leaving aside well-known trading markets such as Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange.

Big A in 2007 will also usher in its peak moment of 6124.04 points in October.

And in the foreseeable future, at least within 16 years, until 2023, this record will not be broken.
