How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 502 Frustrated directors, trying to turn around in September schedule
As for Mr. Xu’s [Di Renjie’s Tongtian Empire].

The box office of this film was pretty good.

With a box office of 2.86 million yuan, Yuanshijiang ranked sixth on the mainland's annual box office list.

Moreover, the starring role is still Liu Tianwang, and Zhang Nan can draw a lot of profits from it by signing Liu Tianwang's contract.

It’s not a loss to attend and add some popularity and box office to the movie.

Moreover, Old Monster Xu has been tempered after the consecutive failures of [The Legend of Shushan] and [Seven Swords].

In the future, I can also direct "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", so I still have the resources at hand.

The only problem is - Old Monster Xu is a relatively lonely person. He has received a favor from a drop of water. Not to mention repaying it with a spring of water, he doesn't recognize others very much when he turns over.

You must know that this film "Detective Dee: The Heavenly Empire" was successfully filmed by Xu Ke with the strong support of Chinese Americans and a total cost of 1.3 million yuan.

Without the support of Chinese Americans, Xu Ke would never be able to direct such an investment project.

Because of the successive failures of "The Legend of Shushan" and "Seven Swords", Xu Ke's credibility as a director has been completely ruined.

But just after Xu Ke made a wonderful turnaround in his directorial career with "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven".

He immediately left the embrace of the Chinese-Americans and turned to look at the booming film and television industry in the mainland, and he also wanted to end up with Bernard Films.

The subsequent "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" have nothing to do with Chinese.

There is actually no need for such people to invest because the rate of return is too low.

but……

Zhang Nan touched his somewhat weak kidney.

"This trip is just for leisure and money, not to invest in favors."

Zhang Nan finally decided with Old Luke to attend the event of "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire".

……

9 month 9 day.

[Big Earthquake], which was reluctantly postponed for more than a month and almost two months, ended its screening trip after the overall attendance rate was so low that it started to lose money.

The final box office of 6.65 million yuan rekindled the already hot mainland film and television industry.

Then [Hands Up 2], looking at the right moment, wanted to take over the baton from [Big Earthquake].

but……

The ideal is full, the reality is cruel.

The box office of 10,000+ RMB on the first day made the starring actor Guo Statham and the irresistible Uncle Pan a little dumbfounded.

Isn’t it said that the mainland film and television industry is getting hotter?

Why are the movies we star in doing so poorly at the box office?

On the night when [Hands Up 2] was released on its first day at the box office, Pan Changjiang and Stanson Kuo kept getting drunk.

Push the cup to change the room.

Pan Changjiang always felt that he was quite destined to Jiangxiang Technology, and he had the urge to promote it.

……

to be frank.

The movie quality of "Hands Up 2" is not bad among comedies.

If taken alone in the small category of anti-Japanese comedy, it is even more outstanding.

This can be seen from its future popularity.

It's just that this kind of comedy is not naturally suitable for the big screen, but is more suitable for the small screen.

Moreover, the current style of [Hands Up 2] is a bit too advanced - if it is earthy to the extreme, it is trendy, and if it is trendy to the extreme, it is earthy!
...November 9.

Zhang Yimou's "Hawthorn Tree Love" is released.

The consequences of the three shots have emerged, and many viewers have begun not to buy Zhang Yimou's account.

In addition, there are already some signs of irreconcilable contradictions between the two.

The entire movie's promotion was so mediocre that Zhang Nan had never heard of it in her previous life. She only learned about it later, but she hadn't seen it either.

But despite this, "Hawthorn Tree Love" is still enough for newcomer Zhou Dongyu to get tickets for a well-known female artist in the mainland entertainment industry as a girl.

……

9 month 29 day.

The premiere of [Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven].

Zhang Nan's appearance as promised surprised the Chinese-Americans Wang Xiaowang and Xu Ke.

After seeing Zhang Nan get off the car, he quickly stepped forward and greeted him warmly.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Nan waved his hands quickly and just asked Liu Tianwang to chat with him.

Yes.

Liu Tianwang specially took leave from the North American "Fast and Furious 5" crew and returned to the mainland to attend the premiere of "Detective Dee: Empire of Heaven".

"No one on the crew of [Fast and Furious 5] is looking for trouble with you, right?" Zhang Nan asked Liu Tianwang with some concern.

After all, in the original "Fast and Furious 5" series, it was not uncommon for the leading actors to stumble and upset each other, and Liu Tianwang was now his, and he was the one who introduced the project.

Liu Tianwang heard Zhang Nan's words of concern and quickly replied: "No, Director Lin takes good care of me, and Jushi and Van Dierse are also very polite to me, even a little too polite. I feel that they I want to curry favor with you through me.”

After listening to Liu Tianwang's reply, Zhang Nan finally came to his senses.

The original "Fast and Furious" series had a lot of shit, which was the result of the leading actors from all parties competing for control of the project.

But the current "Fast and Furious" series has been taken advantage of by him for many years.

He was responsible for at least [-]% of the movie's box office, but he was paid for it in vain. The director was still his, and the producer, Universal Pictures, didn't dare to talk to him.

As a member of Zhang Nan, Liu Tianwang would be fine if he didn't bully others in the crew, let alone being bullied.

With this thought, Zhang Nan paused.

King Liu Tian may have noticed that Zhang Nan was slow for a moment, and then quickly started to find other topics.

But today is the premiere of [Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven], so while we were chatting, the topic inevitably turned to the movie.

"Director Zhang, what do you think of the box office performance of [Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven]?"

Liu Tianwang is still quite concerned about this last film before it hits Hollywood.

After all, if his attempt to hit Hollywood fails, if "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" performs well at the box office, he can return to the mainland and recover quickly.

“It’s a bit difficult to cover the costs just by relying on movie box office.

After all, the production fee of 1.3 million yuan for external promotion is still [-] million yuan, so just to recover the cost will cost nearly [-] million yuan at the box office.

In late September and October, the overall market has potential, but it is limited.

However, the Chinese are listed companies after all. As long as the box office of the movie exceeds [-] million, the stock price will definitely rise slightly. We can use financial means in advance to buy low and sell high for a few lots. I dare not say if it is more than tens of millions of yuan. There are still some benefits. "Zhang Nan analyzed it to Liu Tianwang.

Liu Tianwang was a little dazed when he heard this, "A movie... can it still be played like this?"

"Hollywood has been doing this for a long time. Otherwise, why would you think that before the financial tsunami, Hollywood would often invest in movies worth over [-] million U.S. dollars? And according to the normal income ratio, many movies would lose money, but the producers would not do anything about it. Feeling distressed, but still continue to invest large sums of money?”

Zhang Nan asked back and continued: "However, this operation can make money quickly, and the risks are also high. The company can easily be robbed by big financial parties."

How did [-]th Century Fox Pictures in the original time and space be acquired by Disney?
It is in various financial operations that nothing is clear.
