Chapter 445 As expected, [The King of Kung Fu] failed at the box office
"Anan, you came to the premiere and didn't tell me in advance, so I didn't have any preparations." Chenglong greeted Zhang Nan with a smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Nan deliberately joked: "Didn't you send me the invitation to the premiere of [The King of Kung Fu]?"
With Zhang Nan's current status, let alone a movie premiere in the Mainland, it is a top blockbuster premiere in Hollywood with hundreds of millions of investment. Before the premiere, whether Zhang Nan goes or not, Zhang Nan will be given a copy. Invitation card.
"As you said, which movie premiere today will not send you an invitation letter?" Chenglong retorted angrily.
The two of them greeted each other warmly, and then Zhang Nan turned his eyes to Li Lianlian who was standing aside and said hello politely: "Brother Lianlian."
Li Lianlian responded by nodding and shaking hands.
It's not that Li Lianlian is so cold, but he doesn't have much cooperation with Zhang Nan and their relationship is relatively ordinary.
The three of them stood in front of the camera for a while, and then Zhang Nan was welcomed into the screening room by Chenglong and Li Lianlian.
Then, the seating order in the screening room that had been determined was moved one seat back.
Without it.
Zhang Nan's arrival was not considered in the original seat reservation, but now that Zhang Nan is here, the seat must be the best one.
……
Chenglong and Li Lianlian sent Zhang Nan to the screening room and left slowly. After all, as the leading actors of "The King of Kung Fu", they also needed to greet other people.
Then two charming voices appeared in Zhang Nan's ears.
"Director Zhang."
"Director Zhang."
Zhang Nan turned around and saw Li Lianhua and Liu Yifei. They just nodded without saying anything.
Then everyone in the screening room began to gather around Zhang Nan.
But fortunately, everyone just said hello and left. They just wanted to become familiar with Zhang Nan, so it was not difficult for Zhang Nan to deal with them.
After a while, Zhang Nan was done with it, and the premiere of "The King of Kung Fu" began to enter the final stage of speeches in front of the big screen.
Chenglong and Li Lianjie, as the two protagonists and the biggest boos in the movie, along with Li Lianhua, Liu Yifei and a North American male artist, began to make various pre-rehearsed speeches on the stage, and the guests in the audience also cooperated of applause.
After this session was over, the movie began to be officially screened.
……
After 104 minutes, [The King of Kung Fu] ended.
After watching this movie again, Zhang Nan felt better than in the previous life.
This is not to say that the movie "The King of Kung Fu" is not bad, but there is a comparison in everything, and there is a gap.
This "Kung Fu King" is not very good, but compared with "Railway Tiger" and "Kung Fu Yoga" in the future, and "Legend of the Gods" and "Legend of the White Snake" in Li Lianhe's future, it is much better. It's one o'clock.
"Zhang, what did you think of the movie?" "The King of Kung Fu" director Rob Minkoff, who was sitting next to Zhang Nan, turned directly to Zhang Nan after the movie ended and asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Nan glanced at Robert Minkoff with an inexplicable expression on his face.
The director's track record is impressive.
In 1994, he co-directed "The Lion King" with Roger Ahlers, which grossed US$7.5 million worldwide.
Subsequently, he independently developed "Elf Mouse 1.2". The global box office of the two animated films was US$3 million and US$1.7 million respectively.
Later, he produced a small-invested movie called "The Haunted Mansion" at Disney Pictures, which grossed more than [-] million U.S. dollars at the global box office.It can be said that for the co-production of "The King of Kung Fu" between Chinese Americans and Lionsgate Films, it is the best solution to have this director as the director.
"This movie is definitely worth watching, but with Cheng Long and Li Lianjun, fans have more expectations for this movie than just that." Zhang Nan expressed his opinion in a subtle way.
Robert Minkoff was not a fool. After hearing Zhang Nan's words, he basically understood what Zhang Nan meant. The excitement on his face obviously faded a lot.
no way.
If it had been someone else's subtle disapproval, Rob Minkoff could have ignored it.
But Rob Minkoff felt like he couldn't ignore Zhang Nan's words.
……
As usual, Zhang Nan applauded the end of the movie with warm applause. After Zhang Nan slapped him, he and Chenglong walked out of the screening room together.
"Brother Chenglong, the premiere of [The King of Kung Fu] in the Mainland has been held, are you going to North America?" Zhang Nan asked.
Hearing this, Chenglong had a look on his face like why do you know so well, but he still nodded and replied: "Yes, the 24th, the North American premiere."
"That's just right. One of my artists has starred in a new movie. It will be released in North America soon. You will have time to take care of him." Zhang Nan said directly.
Yes.
Sony Columbia Pictures still followed Zhang Nan's suggestion and put the release date of "Blackjack" in mid-to-late April.
And Zhang Nan is here to support the mainland premiere of "The King of Kung Fu", which means that he wants Chenglong to help Hu Ge in North America to promote "Blackjack". After all, he doesn't really want to go now. North America.
After Chenglong heard this, everyone was dumbfounded.
Good guy, I went to North America to promote the movie, and now you ask me to take care of other movies, what the hell...
He wanted to say something, but Chenglong thought of Zhang Nan attending the premiere of "The King of Kung Fu" today.
"I'll try my best!" Chenglong finally agreed vaguely.
Zhang Nan could just look at Chenglong like this. Anyway, all he wanted was to give Hu Ge a little push.
……
The next day.
[The King of Kung Fu], the first collaboration between Cheng Long and Li Lianhe, was very prominent at the box office in the Mainland, with a box office of more than 1600 million yuan on the first day.
Then there was the box office of more than 2400 million yuan on the next day, the box office of more than 2500 million yuan on the third day, and the box office of more than 1500 million yuan on the fourth day.
In the first four days, "The King of Kung Fu" grossed more than RMB 8000 million at the box office in the Mainland, greatly suppressing "Hurricane Rescue", which had a relatively stable box office.
This did not go beyond Zhang Nan's expectations. After all, compared with the reputations accumulated by Chenglong and Li Lianlian over the years, Wu Jin was still inferior.
Moreover, the box office trend of "The King of Kung Fu" has begun to show a decline.
Even if it doesn't show a decline, the producers of "The King of Kung Fu" and Lionsgate Pictures are a little desperate.
Because according to the basic box office formula, [Kung Fu King]’s box office in the first week would not be 8000 million yuan, let alone [-] million yuan.
Because the production fee of "The King of Kung Fu" is already as high as [-] million yuan.
If you want to make money back, let alone the mainland box office, you must have at least a box office of [-] to [-] million yuan.
