Chapter 536 [Captain America] Premiere: From helper to main actor Tom Cruise

"Didn't you just have a child? I thought you wanted to spend more time with the child." Old Luke told the reason for procrastination.

Zhang Nan could not refute the reason given by Old Luke.

But the problem is——

The child is still in the mother's belly now, how can I accompany her?

Zhang Nan doesn't really believe in prenatal education and feels it's a bit nonsense.
-

North America.

[Mission: Impossible 4] crew.

Zhang Nan, who came from the mainland in a hurry, finished filming the scenes originally planned in the script.

The total shooting time was less than five minutes, and the final editing time in the final film was estimated to be more than one minute, almost two minutes.

So this is 3000 million US dollars plus % box office dividends and peripheral income sharing.

Of course.

Among them, 3000 million U.S. dollars in fixed remuneration is to be used to fill Longbow Film and Television's 4 million U.S. dollars investment in "Mission: Impossible ", and Zhang Nan cannot get it.

The subsequent box office dividends and peripheral income sharing will not be available for a while.

It would be an exaggeration to say that Zhang Nan’s work was ‘in vain’ this time.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Nan's rate of making money is really a bit scary.

It really costs tens of millions of dollars per minute, which is nearly 100 million dollars when converted into RMB.

Seeing Zhang Nan finishing the filming quickly and looking like he was about to leave, Tom Cruise, who had been standing aside to watch the excitement, quickly came forward and said: "Zhang, you are going too fast."

"I can't help but be unhappy. I have to attend the premiere of [Captain America] tonight. I'm in a hurry."

Zhang Nan replied directly, but he also knew that Tom Cruise was a person who never went to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, so he asked again: "Is something wrong?"

Tom Cruise nodded and said, "I heard that you have negotiated a spy film project with MGM."

"Yes."

Zhang Nan nodded and said: "Codename [006], it will start shooting in August. I have finished working on the project at Marvel Studios and will have to join the crew soon."

"I heard that you hired a lot of directors for this project?" Tom Cruise continued to ask.

Zhang Nan nodded again.

[006] This project was born out of [Mission: Impossible 6]. Although Zhang Nan had the lenses and images in his mind, he could directly shoot it himself.

But after the trouble-free experience of "Transformers 2", Zhang Nan no longer wants to work hard unless it is a last resort or a critical moment.

So I just put together the rough storyboards and asked MGM to find a bunch of cheap and little-known directors, planning to leave all the dirty work in the filming and directing process to these people. .

And it’s also a win-win situation.

Zhang Nan gained peace of mind, and a group of unknown little directors got a beautiful resume.

"I have a friend who I met while filming [Operation Target Hitler]. He has worked as a producer and screenwriter, but he wants to try the director's position..."

Tom Cruise began to introduce people to Zhang Nan skillfully.

And Zhang Nan became more and more familiar with it.

I have worked as a producer and screenwriter, and we met on "Action Target Hitler".

Isn't this Christopher McQuarrie? The future "Mission: Impossible 5.6.7.8" will all be directed and written by him.

Of course.

Now this guy has not been in the directing circle for a long time.

Without it.

His debut film "Kidnapping" in 2000 grossed US$1320 million at the global box office, and he couldn't get away with it even if he wanted to. However, after more than ten years of cooling down, it will make another comeback in a year, and "Jack Reacher" starring Tom Cruise will be officially released.

Although the movie was not a big hit at the box office and did not even break 2.18 million in North America, it still made a lot of money with a global box office of 2015 million U.S. dollars. It also laid the foundation for him to direct "Mission: Impossible 5" in .

"Everyone is here, but who asked you to speak?" Zhang Nan said pretending to be generous and heroic.

After all, being able to get the original director of [Mission: Impossible 6] to direct will save him even more worry and trouble.

But Tom Cruise didn't know this, he just thought Zhang Nan was really interesting.

"Zhang, if anything happens in the future, please speak directly." Tom Cruise directly made a promise to Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan caught it immediately, "No, let's go to the premiere of [Captain America] tonight, together, to build momentum for Marvel Studios."

Tom Cruise: "..." This is too damn fast. You made me want to take back the emotion I felt before.

……

On the red carpet at the premiere of [Captain America].

Tom Cruise's surprise appearance still surprised all the media present.

Without it.

Although Tom Cruise is not as popular as before.

The title of Two Toms and One Will was not only crushed by Zhang Nan, but also gradually replaced by Robert Downey Jr., Johnson Depp and DiCaprio.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so it still has some cards.

And in the interview session after walking on the red carpet, Tom Cruise performed even better.

There were all kinds of praises and expectations for [Captain America], and all sorts of strange things about [Harry Potter 8].

The rhetoric is even more exaggerated than Zhang Nandu, who made a cameo appearance in "Captain America" ​​and received a high salary.

This is naturally not the favor that Zhang Nan just sold.

Even if Christopher McQuarrie is Tom Cruise's gay friend, he won't work as hard as Tom Cruise.

It was Zhang Nan who had just revealed to Tom Cruise on the way here that Warner Pictures was preparing to launch a sniper attack on [Mission: Impossible 12] in December.

After listening to this, Tom Cruise became extremely angry.

There is no way not to be angry.

[Mission: Impossible 4] can be regarded as a crucial node in Tom Cruise's career. Once it fails, it will basically be the end of the road.

……

It grossed US$2570 million on the first day, US$2194.3 million on the second day, and US$1741.4 million on the third day.

In its first three days in North America, "Captain America" ​​grossed more than 6500 million US dollars at the box office.

The results can be said to be quite outstanding.

But I have to say that the strength of the [Harry Potter] main series is really not just a boast.

Even at the premiere of "Captain America", Zhang Nan attended as usual and Tom Cruise made a surprise appearance. At the same time, "Harry Potter 8" was already on the eighth day of the second week of release, and the strong box office period has passed. .

However, [Harry Potter 8] still withstood the pressure of the premiere of [Captain America] and took in a box office of US$1455.4 million in North America on Friday.

On the following Saturday and Sunday, it also took in a box office of US$1826.3 million and US$1460.4 million respectively.

Then relying on the five working days before, the box office for the next week was raised to a height of 1.04 million US dollars, crushing the box office of "Captain America" ​​in the first three days of more than million US dollars, once again sitting on the throne of North American weekly box office champion, completing Come to Lianzhuang.
