How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 472 [Harry Potter 6] is here, 1.58 billion in the first week

"Since there is no problem with time, let's talk about the salary now. How much budget did Warner give to this project?"

Overall, "Inception" is a good project. After all, it has grossed more than 8 million U.S. dollars at the global box office with an original theme.

So since time is not a problem, then there is no problem in the next step, but the treatment still needs to be discussed carefully.

As soon as Nolan heard Zhang Nan start talking about the budget, he knew that the negotiation was coming to a critical end.

"Warner Pictures said they were willing to give me US$1.6 million in production fees." Nolan answered honestly.

Nolan is quite satisfied with the production fee Warner Pictures gave him.

"It's a bit small. It seems you still have to communicate with Warner Pictures." Zhang Nan curled his lips slightly after hearing Nolan's budget.

Nolan: "Huh?"

……

After a while.

Nolan was a little surprised when he walked out of Zhang Nan's villa.

The fixed salary starts at US$4 million, plus a 50.00% box office dividend and a 60.00% peripheral income share.

It's not like he doesn't know that Zhang Nan's salary is expensive, starting with hundreds of millions of dollars plus dozens of share ratios.

Similar news has spread in Hollywood and even in the global film and television industry.

But when faced with this fact, I still couldn't calm down my emotions for a long time.

And with Zhang Nan's high salary and high share, Warner Pictures will definitely not be able to give him as high a share of the box office in "Inception" as he did in "Batman 2".

Because Zhang Nan alone took [-]%, and the theater chain took another [-]% or [-]%, leaving only [-]%. It was impossible to give him much.

In other words, it was "Inception" that he worked so hard for, but in the end he could only get a fixed salary of about 2000 million US dollars, and there was no need to think about anything else.

Compared with his previous income in [Batman 1.2], this income is not even worse than his previous income.

but……

Nolan thought about his original intention of approaching Zhang Nan - he wanted to make a film with a global box office of over one billion US dollars.

Nolan was silent.
-
Nolan was silent there, but the North American summer vacation will not be silent.

[Pirates of the Caribbean 3] has swept across the entire North American summer holiday season in June with an unstoppable trend. The only competitor that cannot be considered a rival is the R-rated comedy-[The Hangover].

Then [Pirates of the Caribbean 3] was also a hit in the global film market.

As of early July, [Pirates of the Caribbean 3] has accumulated more than 8 million U.S. dollars in global box office, and is about to reach [-] million U.S. dollars.
Unless there are any big surprises, it will basically be no problem to cross the billion-dollar box office threshold.

But if you want better results, it is a bit difficult.

It’s not that [Pirates of the Caribbean 3] lacks box office potential, but that the North American summer season is indeed too competitive.

7 month 15 day.

[Harry Potter 6], which was postponed from last year's Christmas season to this year's summer vacation, is officially released.

……

In the screening room of [Harry Potter 6].

As Zhang Nan plays an important supporting role and receives a large salary from Warner Pictures, she cannot be absent.

But after walking quickly on the red carpet, Zhang Nan didn't make any fuss and sat directly on his seat in the screening room.

But Zhang Nan didn't have many ideas, but director David Yates, who was sitting next to him, had many ideas.One is various things related to the preparations for the [Harry Potter-Voldemort 2] project, and the other is the preparations for the [Harry Potter 7] project.

"The [Harry Potter] main series has filmed its sixth installment, and it will be finished with one more installment, but there are a lot of voices within Warner Pictures.

Some executives plan to end it directly. After all, the seventh film of "Harry Potter" has been filmed, and the prices of many characters have risen too high. "When he said this, David Yates also inadvertently ignored Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan didn't say anything when he heard the words, but nodded slightly.

Because this is indeed the case. Now the total salary of all the supporting actors in [Harry Potter 6] is worth tens of millions of dollars, not to mention [-] million U.S. dollars.

If you add in the three grown-up little ones, you can't stop it even with [-] million US dollars.

Because in [Harry Potter 6] alone, each of the three little ones received a salary of tens of thousands of dollars, especially little Harry Potter and Daniel, who made almost 2000 million U.S. dollars.

Of course.

Compared with Zhang Nan, it's still a bit less interesting.

Zhang Nan has a lot of roles in this movie [Harry Potter 6], so he directly asked Warner Pictures for a price of 6000 million US dollars. This was because of the popularity of the [Harry Potter-Voldemort] series.

"There are also some executives at Warner Pictures. Seeing how profitable [The Twilight Saga] was before, they felt that it would be a pity to end the [Harry Potter] series directly, so they thought of giving the last one to Make it into two parts and show it in two parts," David Yates continued.

Zhang Nan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Because Warner Pictures of Time and Space played this very shameless trick in [Harry Potter 7].

Later, it was also learned from [Twilight].

"David, what do you mean by saying so much?" Zhang Nan looked at David Yates in confusion.

David Yates waved his hand after hearing this, "What's the point of splitting it into two parts? I'm just getting one more director's fee. I still have [Voldemort], the spin-off series starring you. , there’s no shortage of movies to make, it doesn’t matter.”

It doesn't matter. You're talking to me so much. Isn't that just looking for something to talk about?
After complaining about this sentence, Zhang Nan also reacted.

The two of them are sitting here now, aren't they just looking for something to talk about?

Fortunately, this idleness did not last long, and the movie soon began to show.

……

The North American premiere of "Harry Potter 6" is Wednesday.

This is also an old tradition of the [Harry Potter] series. I don’t really like to play the standard Hollywood premiere format of three days on a weekend.

then……

Facts have proved that the [Harry Potter] series has the strength and foundation to dare to do this.

On the first Wednesday, [Harry Potter 6] grossed an astonishing US$5817.5 million on the working day, accounting for 80.00% and a half of the North American box office that day.

This was followed by $2201.1 million on Thursday, $2680 million on Friday, $2923.4 million on Saturday, and $2178 million on Sunday.

In the first five days, [Harry Potter 6] grossed US$1.58 million at the box office.

The box office momentum directly suppressed the US$3 million in the first week of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1.47", and was much better than the previous "Harry Potter" series.

Of course.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was screened for almost a month and a half, and it immediately had a big impact.

This is why it is said that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has the potential to hit the global box office of 11 billion and 12 billion US dollars, but it cannot be realized.

But the North American summer vacation is so intense, as is [Pirates of the Caribbean 3], and so are the previous blockbusters in May.
