Chapter 493 [Transformers 2] Double bloom in Mainland and North America

After greeting various mainland investors in a friendly manner, Zhang Nan went on stage to give a speech as usual.

Corny, short, passionate.

After speaking hastily, Zhang Nan stepped down.

Six p.m.

The lights in the screening room slowly dimmed, and the big screen slowly lit up.

[Transformers 2] will be screened on the big screen of Longbow Cinema in Longbow Studios on time.

……

150 minute later.

When the lights in the screening room came back on, everyone came back to their senses from the movie and applauded enthusiastically.

Not that the plot of the movie is exciting.

In fact, this "Transformers 2" directed by Michael Bay is a bit of a return to the "Transformers" style of the original time and space.

Brainless plot, numerous special effects, and constant explosions.

But... popcorn movies are all about visual impact!

In the auditorium with warm applause.

There are actors who are constantly reminiscing about the meeting with "Transformers 2" just now, and imagining in their minds when they can star in such a project.

There are also capital parties who are constantly calculating whether the production fee of nearly 6 million US dollars can be recovered for this wave of "Transformers 2"?How much money can you make after recovering your costs?How much box office can it earn in the mainland movie market?
With different thoughts, the premiere of [Transformers 2] ended like this.

……

After the premiere of [Transformers 2].

Reports on [Transformers 2] have begun to appear continuously from major media channels.

Paper media: [Unparalleled visual feast - Transformers 2]

Internet Forum: [There is a desert transformation and battle scene in the movie, which is explosive]

Evening News: [The co-production film [Transformers 2] premiered tonight, and there was a long queue in front of the theater. We asked reporters in front to interview several viewers on the spot for us. 】

a time.

The entire mainland media is basically full of news about [Transformers 2].

Zhang Nan also sent these summarized information to Dick Frank, the president of Paramount Pictures in North America.

"How can you let [Transformers 2] enjoy such treatment without making it a co-production?" Zhang Nan said to Dick Frank on the phone.

Dick Frank on the other side of the phone was also choking on his words.

Because the current situation of [Transformers 2] in the mainland is indeed incomparable to [Transformers 1].

But after all, having been at the helm of Paramount for many years, Dick Frank said harshly: "The momentum is great, but it's hard to say whether it will be useful."

Zhang Nan was unhappy when he heard what Dick Frank said.

"Is it useful? How about we make a bet and share 2% of the box office dividend. I bet that the box office of [Transformers 3] in the mainland can exceed [-] million US dollars." Zhang Nan said forcefully.

Zhang Nan is very confident about this bet.

Because for the [Transformers] series, mainland movie fans love it more.

Moreover, the total box office of the mainland movie market in 2010 in the original time and space, the market data has reached 131 billion yuan.

Based on the fact that top movies can account for one-sixth to one-tenth of the total box office for the year, [Transformers 2]’s box office in the mainland has the potential to exceed 20 billion.

This can be seen from the screening of "Transformers 2" in the original time and space in the mainland.

Because the original "Transformers 2" still made a billion yuan at the box office despite the declining film schedule.

But now that [Transformers 2] has been made into a co-production, this restriction no longer exists.

"Transformers 2", which has completely unleashed its box office potential, is very likely to exceed 20 billion yuan, and it is not even a breakthrough.

Dick Frank on the other side of the phone was frightened by Zhang Nan's affirmative tone.

single market.

$[-] million in box office?

You must know that in the North American movie market, there are not many movies that can take over [-] million U.S. dollars at the box office. Looking at the world, it has never happened.

This is also the reason why the North American film market has a proud position in the global film industry - its market is huge.

"Zhang, Paramount only gets more than ten percent of the box office share..." Dick Frank did not directly answer Zhang Nan's bet, but sold miserably.And it's really miserable.

Because in this [Transformers 2], Zhang Nan got 30.00%, and the theater chain had to get 14.00%. Of the remaining [-]%, [-]% was from China Film, and Paramount could only get [-]%. share of the box office.

Relying on this 14.00% box office share, it is difficult for Paramount to recover the film production fees.

"If you win, won't you get more of the box office share~" Zhang Nan said seductively.

Dick Frank on the other side of the phone twitched his eyes and said, "No betting!"

Then decisively hung up the phone.

……

The next day.

The world's first release data of "Transformers 2" has been integrated in the mainland.

Because there is a time difference of more than ten hours between North America and the Mainland, the first-day box office data there is still being consolidated.

The first-day box office figures for "Transformers 2" in the Mainland were very impressive.

6300 yuan.

And it was achieved at a film arrangement ratio of 30.00%.

Of course.

The reason why [Transformers 2]’s first-day mainland movie schedule is so low is not because there is a secret restriction from China Film.

But the movie is released at 30.00pm, and most of the day has passed. If there is a [-]% one, it is already full.

Then the eyes of many mainland investors who participated in the premiere of [Transformers 2] yesterday were red.

They are all outsiders and have just paid close attention to the mainland entertainment industry.

But they all understand a simple truth and a rough ratio.

That's a movie, and the producer can probably get one-third of the movie's box office revenue.

So the box office of 6300 million yuan is calculated as one-third of the box office revenue.

[Transformers 2] earned more than 2000 million yuan on this day.

one day.

Earn more than 2000 million.

There are not many such projects in the financial circle!
The key is that such a project is generous and legal.

In an instant.

Capital investors from all sides, who were already quite interested, began to want to take action.

But this is not over yet. [Transformers 2]’s journey to the mainland box office has just begun.

The third day of the show.

[Transformers 2] was released at the mainland box office the next day.

The 90.00% film schedule completely unleashed the box office potential of "Transformers 2", allowing "Transformers 2" to gross RMB 1.3 million at the box office directly on the day after its release.

It directly shocked the professional mainland film and television industry practitioners.

One day...1.3 million?
You must know that last year, the annual box office champion of mainland domestic films in 2009 - "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", the total box office was only over 4 million.

Moreover, the film was booked in various institutions and screened for several months to achieve the figures.

But【Transformers 2】——

In two days, the cumulative box office was close to [-] million yuan.

If this continues, doesn't it mean that last year's domestic film champion - "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" - has been wiped out in four days after months of struggle?

But it's not over yet.

Because the box office of [Transformers 2] on its first day in North America was also released at this time.

With the strong support of the North American summer vacation, [Transformers 2] directly made 7000 million US dollars on the first day.

Converted into RMB... it's even higher than the box office of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" which was over [-] million RMB.

Because 7000 million US dollars is close to [-] million yuan.
