Chapter 431 [Certificate of Nomination] What black people and Superman have in common

12 month 12 day.

Wednesday.

Zhang Nanren was in Hollywood when he received a call from the person in charge of Longbow Film and Television in the Mainland.

"Director Zhang, [The Letter] will premiere tonight. Chen Straw Hat and the producer from Xiangjiang vaguely want to talk to us about the follow-up global release of [The Letter]. I'm here. How do you answer?" The voice of the person in charge of Mainland Longbow Film and Television came over the phone.

how to answer?

Zhang Nan paused for a while and recalled the global box office situation of [Vote for Name Certificate] in the original time and space.

内地2763.3万美金（2.02亿人民币）、弯弯426万美金、香江357.7万美金、韩国271.9万美金、新加坡155.7万美金、法国65.8万美金、北美12.9万美金……

The box office of the entire "Biography" is basically concentrated in Asia, and the box office in Europe and the United States, especially North America, is only 12.9 US dollars.

What the hell is this even being distributed globally?

The distribution power of Longbow Distribution Company in his hands has finally grown from a global box office distribution capability of several hundred million US dollars to a current global box office distribution capability of [-] to [-] million US dollars in recent years.

If the [Certificate of Investment] is issued all at once, at least several years of hard work will be lost, and a sum of money will have to be lost.

After all, movie playback also consumes large screens, electricity, and personnel costs.

"We can talk about large-scale distribution in Asia. For distribution in Europe and the United States, we should use the dragging method and politely refuse!

After all, Lee Lien-lien's previous film "The Knight", which was particularly in line with the preferences of European and American movie fans, only grossed more than 4000 million US dollars at the global box office, and this film "The Movie", which has more literary and drama content, is probably even less successful.

Moreover, the other two starring actors in this film, Liu Tianwang and Kim Sung-oh, the former’s European and American box office appeal is about zero, and the latter... what kind of scum are they? "

At the end of the chat, Zhang Nan was speechless when mentioning Jin Chengwu.

Because he really doesn't understand why this person with non-standard pronunciation and diverse nationalities has appeared everywhere in the mainland entertainment industry in recent years.

Cooperated with Zhang Yimou [House of Flying Daggers], cooperated with Zhou Gongzi [If Love], cooperated with Li Lianlian [Vote for Name Certificate], and cooperated with Wu Baige [Red Cliff Part [-] and Part [-]].

But Zhang Nan turned around and thought about it, Jin Chengwu had a lot of BUFFs.

A Japanese-born student who studied in the United States. After graduation, he made his debut in Xiangjiang. He likes singing and motorcycles, but in the end he got involved in the entertainment industry.

It can be said that the BUFFs that could be stacked in the early entertainment industry were almost exhausted by this product.

But even with the blessing of this BUFF, this person never got up in the end, and began to disappear from the film industry after 2010. It can only be said that his ability is really not good enough.

……

The next day.

The mainland box office of [Certificate of Entry] is out.

The box office of more than 1000 million yuan on the first day once again established Li Lianlian's status as the only top kung fu superstar who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Cheng Long in the mainland film and television circles (Zhang Nan surpassed the two of them).

But this partnership is limited to the mainland.

Because Chenglong's current overseas box office appeal is not as good as its peak and has declined significantly, but compared to Li Lianlian, it is still much stronger.

Apart from anything else, tens of millions of dollars in box office revenue around the world can still be taken casually.

……

Friday, January 12th.

In the Chinese Grand Theater, the premiere of Will Smith's new work - "I Am Legend" is being held enthusiastically.Zhang Nan came to the scene as scheduled. After all, he had previously received 3000 million US dollars in guest fees from "I Am Legend" and had a relatively good relationship with Will Smith. It would be a bad idea not to come.

So after walking on the red carpet, Zhang Nan was very generous and chatted with Will Smith for a while in front of the media, thus creating more news for "I Am Legend".

"So... your project is aimed at Tom Hanks' Cast Away?" Zhang Nan summarized after listening to Will Smith's narration.

Will Smith nodded and added: "The underlying logic is yes, but there are some doomsday, escape, and savior elements added to it."

"Then this movie can easily become top-heavy!" Zhang Nan gave his judgment.

When Will Smith heard this, he looked at Zhang Nan in surprise, "Zhang, you just made a cameo on the set. You can make this judgment without having seen the finished film. No wonder your movies are so popular. You make this judgment." So powerful!”

Zhang Nan smiled slightly and said nothing.

It may seem to you that I am making a judgment without seeing the finished film, but in fact, I have even read various film reviews. The statement just now was taken from a certain film review.

"Then why don't you help me read this script and see if it's suitable for me?"

Will Smith took the opportunity to tell Zhang Nan the general content of "Superman Hancock" and wanted Zhang Nan to judge whether it was suitable for him.

The reason why Will Smith is like this is because this script called "Superman Hancock" has been published in Hollywood for many years, but no one is willing to film it, and they all feel that this script is not good.

But Will Smith felt that the movie script suited his interests and wanted to give it a try, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.

Zhang Nan pretended to be thinking, but actually she was recalling the box office performance of "Superman Hancock".

The North American box office was 2.27 million US dollars, and the global box office was 6.30 million US dollars.

This result can be said to be explosive, but it is also Will Smith's final peak as the 'King of History'.

Because after this movie "Superman Hancock", Will Smith has no commercial films that are single-handedly successful at the box office.

"It's quite appropriate." Zhang Nan gave the answer Will Smith wanted.

But Will Smith was still a little hesitant, saying: "But if I, a black man, play a role like Superman, will it be too different from the character and have nothing in common..."

Not to mention now, more than ten years later, when people mention Superman, their first reaction is that besides the red underpants, he has white skin.

It’s normal for Will Smith to have this concern.

"Nothing in common?"

Zhang Nan pretended to be surprised, and then said: "How come, Superman and black people have a lot in common."

"Clam?"

When Will Smith heard Zhang Nan's answer, he was a little confused and asked curiously, "What do they have in common?"

"He was abandoned after he was born and has never seen his father!" Zhang Nan said with a wicked smile.

Will Smith:"……"

Good guy, this fucking joke of yours is really bad!

But Zhang Nan was not done yet, and continued: "And just like Superman is only afraid of kryptonite, black people are only afraid of one thing."

Although he knew that Zhang Nan didn't hold it in, Will Smith still couldn't help but wanted to know the answer, so he asked: "What?"

"Work."

Will Smith: "..." You are really a loser!
