Chapter 574: One billion RMB, less than million US dollars, so don’t scream at me

If the box office of "囧囧" in a single day of 5379.24 million yuan on Friday during its first three-day weekend of release was only a little surprising to many practitioners in the mainland film market.

So when the box office of "囧囧" was released on Saturday during its first week of release, the entire mainland film and television industry was stunned.

9051.73 yuan.

The one-day box office is even higher than the cumulative box office of "The King's Feast" so far.

Because the cumulative box office of Lu San's "The King's Feast" was only over 7600 million yuan in the original time and space. Now it is only in its second week of release, and the cumulative box office has exceeded million yuan.

But the box office performance of "Thailand" is not a flash in the pan.

On Sunday of its first week, "囧囧" once again reported a box office of 8536.25 million yuan in a single day.

Five days after its release, "囧囧" accumulated a box office of 3.08 million yuan in its first week, leaving everyone in the industry stunned.

But this is not over yet.

On the first working day of the week following its release, although the box office trend of "囧囧" dropped significantly, due to the large overall base of the single-day box office on Sunday, it still collected 4840.91 million yuan in box office per day.

This number is higher than the opening box office of many movies.

then……

On the second day of the week after its release, the single-day box office of "囧囧" fell again, reaching 5829.62 million yuan.

Then came the box office of 5044.79 million yuan on Wednesday and 3613.67 million yuan on Thursday.

When the three-day weekend came again, [囧] continued to report box office receipts of 4608.56 million, 7291.12 million and 6741.85 million yuan.

The cumulative box office for the next seven days in the next week was 3.79 million yuan.

The cumulative box office in the ten days after its release exceeded 6.87 million yuan.

At this time, practitioners in the mainland film and television industry were numb with shock.

Because there has never been a domestic movie that can create such box office results in the second week, or to be more precise, there is no purely domestic movie so far that can achieve the box office of "囧囧" in its first week.

……

Pengcheng Airport.

The person in charge of Mainland Longbow Film and Television drove Zhang Nan to Zhang Nan's private jet. Zhang Nan opened the car door and got out of the car, and was about to walk towards the plane.

Upon seeing this, the person in charge of Mainland Longbow Film and Television couldn't help but said: "Director Zhang, looking at the current box office trend of [囧], it is estimated that it is very promising to hit the one billion yuan box office threshold in the Mainland. How will the profits be distributed by then? "

"How to distribute?"

Zhang Nan turned around with some doubts and repeated the other party's words, and then asked: "What do you mean? How to distribute, how to distribute! Follow the contract."

Seeing that Zhang Nan didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words, the person in charge of Mainland Longbow Film and Television quickly explained: "Director Zhang, I mean, Xu Zheng, Director Xu, Wang Baobao, and Huang Bo, the main creators, want to Don’t give me a big red envelope, be considerate, otherwise it will appear that our company, Changgong Film and Television, is not open enough.”

Zhang Nan understood the thoughts of the person in charge of Mainland Longbow Film and Television at this time.

Sometimes things are like this, and the smallest difference can make a huge difference.

"Love Is Not Blind" and "Cold War 1" have a box office of RMB - million, and "Let the Bullets Fly" has a box office of RMB - million.

They all seem to be a lot, and it can be said that they all make a lot of money with their small gains.

But many people can still control it.

But when this number reaches a higher level, it will give people a different feeling.

Although the difference between 999.99 million and one billion is only a little, it feels like a difference in magnitude.

This is also the reason why MGM used to spend money to make "006" stably break through the global box office threshold of two billion US dollars.

Now that "Thailand" has such a strong box office momentum in the mainland movie market, the person in charge of Mainland Longbow Film and Television will naturally be affected to some extent.

"Open and bright?" Zhang Nan said nonchalantly, and continued: "One billion yuan in box office sounds like a lot, but in total, it's less than 200 million US dollars, and I can get one-third of the total box office.

If you give the main creator a big red envelope, then this project is not profitable at all. Why should I invest in it?

You should know that there are so many 200 million US dollar projects in North America that want to come to me, but I won’t even take a look at them. Don’t bother me with this kind of thing in the future. All profits will be shared according to the terms set in the contract. If you are willing to cooperate, you can cooperate. If you are not willing to cooperate, you can leave. This is not the case here. "

After finishing speaking, Zhang Nan lifted his legs and boarded his private jet.

The person in charge of Mainland Longbow Film and Television who stayed in place was also awakened and reassured by Zhang Nan's words.

indeed.

[Tai囧] With such box office results, if you put it in other companies, it would definitely give big bonuses to the main creators, and it would have to start in seven figures.

But on the side of Longgong Film and Television and Zhang Nan.

One billion yuan box office?

Why are you still yelling at me about a project with a box office of less than 200 million US dollars?

And after calming down, the person in charge from the mainland suddenly recalled, whether it was [Thirty-three Days of Broken Love], or [Let the Bullets Fly], or [Thai Embarrassment].

The copyright is firmly in the hands of Longgong Film and Television, and there is no fear that the main creative team will try to start a new business.

Moreover, Zhang Nan and Changgong Film and Television are currently the only ones in the entire mainland film and television industry who can support people to go to Hollywood.

So those who have some expectations for their career prospects will not choose to break up with Longbow Film and Television.

and so……

"You really have to raise your posture, it's someone else who should be cowardly!" the person in charge of Mainland Longbow Film and Television muttered.

……

North America.

When Zhang Nan's plane landed from the sky again, it was December 2012, 12.

That is the time of the premiere of [The Hobbit 1] held in advance.

Yes.

After Zhang Nan went back and forth between Warner Pictures and Disney Pictures, Warner Pictures finally agreed to advance the premiere of "The Hobbit 1" by four days, which was a big deal for Zhang Nan.

Of course.

This is not only because of Zhang Nan’s ability to deal with it, but also because of the fierceness of Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean 4”.

After all, "006", starring Zhang Nan, has just staged a global box office exceeding 007 billion US dollars, and "10: Skyfall", a guest appearance by Zhang Nan, currently has a North American box office of close to million US dollars. The global box office just exceeded billion US dollars.

Now Zhang Nan's momentum can be said to be at its peak.

Then Disney Pictures released "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", Zhang Nan's farewell film in the series.

Warner Pictures looked at the copy of "The Hobbit 1" that imitated the "Lord of the Rings" series and felt a little guilty.

Without it.

Even if [The Hobbit 1] turns into [Lord of the Rings 3] at this time, Warner Pictures may feel a little unable to handle it.

Since Zhang Nan's debut, few series starring Zhang Nan have been completed.

The only two series that have been completed, one is the "Survival of the Doomsday" series. The entire series has grossed nearly 6 billion US dollars at the box office, and was later restarted into the "Rebirth of the Doomsday" series, which gained even more momentum.

The other one is the [Matrix] series.

But that was a trilogy shot in one take.

Moreover, in the 1990s, it raked in 1.8 billion US dollars worldwide, which was an explosive performance.

[Pirates of the Caribbean 4] suddenly has such a title, Warner Pictures is really afraid of not being scared. It is really afraid that [Pirates of the Caribbean 4], a new work in the well-known IP series, [The Hobbit 1] will be directly stunned. Forced.
