How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 512 The styles of film markets all over the world are the same

The first day was US$5856.6 million, the second day was US$4970.1 million, and the third day was US$3975.6 million.

In its first three days, [Jurassic World 2] grossed US$1.48 million in North America.

Let this not-so-busy North American Christmas stall become more popular.

Zhang Nan is quite satisfied with the box office performance of "Jurassic World 2" in its first week.

But Spielberg sighed heavily after learning about the box office of "Jurassic World 2" in its first week.

Without it.

The box office of [Jurassic World 2] was US$1.48 million in the first three days, compared with the US$1 million of the previous film [Jurassic World 2.35] in the first four days.

It's indeed a bit too big.
  It can be said that there is a huge gap.

It can basically be declared that the fantasy that this sequel [Jurassic World 2] will surpass the box office of its predecessor [Jurassic World 1] has been directly shattered.

"Steven, why are you sighing? This result is quite good. It is much better than the previous three days of [Harry Potter 7: Death Note (Part 1.25)] which grossed US$[-] million at the box office. The global box office exceeded [-] million US dollars." The US$[-] million should be stable." Hearing Spielberg sigh, Zhang Nan pretended to be stupid and expressed relief.

Zhang Nan is also telling the truth. Harry Potter 7: Death Note (Part 9.1), which was released in November, has been in theaters for more than a month and has grossed a global box office of US$[-] million.

If nothing else, breaking one billion US dollars is a bit of a stretch, but a global box office of 9.7 or 9.8 million US dollars is still stable.

So the first week box office performance is higher than [Harry Potter 7: Death Note (Part 2300)], which was 2 million US dollars, and [Jurassic World [-]], the global box office exceeds [-] billion, it is stable, there is nothing wrong with this logic.

Spielberg glanced at Zhang Nan, who was deliberately pretending to be stupid to comfort himself, and sighed: "Isn't it just that I haven't let you go back these days? I still want to wait for the first week of [Jurassic World 2] After the box office comes out, why don't I drag you to promote it? There's no need to tease me like this when an old man like me is so frustrated!"

Yes.

Zhang Nan's pretense just now was to make fun of Spielberg's actions in the past few days.

Zhang Nan originally planned to return to the mainland after attending the premiere of "Jurassic World 2".

After all, the mainland film and television industry was also quite lively during this period.

But Spielberg encouraged Universal Pictures to talk to him about new projects and refused to let him leave.

Zhang Nan naturally understood what Spielberg had in mind.

I just thought that if [Jurassic World 2] did well at the box office in its first week, I would force him to promote the movie and increase the possibility of [Jurassic World 2] surpassing [Jurassic World 1] at the box office.

This is to squeeze out his residual value!

So Zhang Nan naturally had to tease and retaliate when he got the chance.

But seeing Spielberg sighing again with a rather frustrated expression on his face, Zhang Nan couldn't bear it anymore.

and--

Just a little teasing, how can it be enjoyable.

When Zhang Nan came out to hang out, he always focused on repaying others with their own methods.

So when Zhang Nan saw Spielberg looking like he was about to collapse, he raised his brows and said in a weird tone: "Teasing? I really don't have this idea, but it's just that you, Steven, are experiencing this moment of frustration. It’s too early!”

"Is it early? Do you think [Jurassic World 2] has a chance to surpass [Jurassic World 1] with its first-week box office?" Spielberg asked indifferently.

Zhang Nan guided: "Whether there is an opportunity, it depends on whether you can seize it."

"Huh?" Spielberg came back in high spirits after hearing this, and looked at Zhang Nan with bright eyes, "What chance?"

"Have you forgotten where I'm going back?" Zhang Nan reminded.

Having said this, Spielberg naturally thought of the previous performance of "Transformers 2" in the mainland, which grossed more than [-] billion yuan and nearly [-] million US dollars at the box office.

If [Jurassic World 2] can replicate the success of [Transformers 2] in China, then maybe it can close the gap with [Jurassic World 1].

but……

Spielberg is not stupid. He knows that the mainland film market suppresses Hollywood blockbusters. This is also the basic rule for foreign films in film markets around the world.

[Transformers 2] was able to win so much box office in the mainland.

That's because of the nature of a co-production, not only was it not suppressed, but it was supported and enjoyed the help of long-term large-scale filming, key extensions, etc.

But [Jurassic World 2] is not a co-production, can you enjoy these?
  "Zhang, [Jurassic World 2] is not a co-production." Spielberg stated with some bitterness.

Hearing this, Zhang Nan glanced sideways at Spielberg and said: "Don't think that the mainland film market is as sinister as Hollywood. It seems that local films that are not made by local people will not get good results even if they are released."

"It's not that I think the mainland film market is sinister, but film markets all over the world are like this."

Spielberg disagreed a little with Zhang Nan's statement, and then corrected Zhang Nan's words and added: "And Hollywood is not a local film made by local people that will get good results after it is released. Only the films of a few giants will get good results. Otherwise, if you thought my DreamWorks was doing a good job, why would you suddenly quit?"

Zhang Nan: "..."

uh~
  He couldn't refute Spielberg's words, because film markets all over the world were indeed like this, and Hollywood had an additional layer of harsh environment dominated by giant monopolies.

"Steven, I'm not going to tell you anything. I'm just going to tell you that when I came to attend the premiere of [Jurassic World 2], a movie I invested in the mainland had just been released in August. In a matter of days, it earned a box office of [-] million yuan, or nearly [-] million US dollars.

In addition, there was also a Chinese-invested comedy movie "If You Are the One 2" released in the same period, which earned 2.1 million yuan in box office in the first week, which is nearly [-] million US dollars. "Zhang Nan said with the facts.

It grossed US$[-] million in eight days and nearly US$[-] million in its first week.

Such results are considered good even in North America, but now they appear together in the same film market during the same period.

This can only mean one thing, and that is that the box office market in this movie market has a lot of room for imagination.

Spielberg was moved.

"Zhang, what opportunity are you talking about?" Spielberg asked slowly.

Zhang Nan replied directly: "The current mainland film and television industry still attaches great importance to international directors. If you can attend the premiere of [Jurassic World 2] this time, and then go to a few more Propaganda, finally..."

After a pause, Zhang Nan continued: "If you can negotiate a co-production project with Huaying, a local leader in the mainland, I can guarantee that the filming rate of "Jurassic World 2" will not be higher than that of domestic films in the mainland. How much difference?"

At this time, according to the original situation of time and space, Spielberg is already at the stage where his talent has been exhausted.

But his many years of directing experience and skills are still there, but he can't keep up with the trend of the times, otherwise he wouldn't be able to produce "Ready Player One" later.

And Spielberg still has international fame.

If the mainland film and television industry can fully cooperate with Spielberg, maybe they can use Spielberg's name to help mainland films have a better international impact.

and……

Zhang Nan can also let Spielberg take care of the domestic promotion of "Jurassic World 2", so that he can relax.
