Chapter 578 [Pirates of the Caribbean 4] Special Premiere

"Don't worry, once the film and television information is in my hands, there is absolutely no possibility of it being leaked." Zhang Nan's words were very decisive.

Without it.

Zhang Nan is really very strict in managing the film and television materials in his hands.

no way.

The film and television materials he has stored in his hand are all unique ones that are not available in the outside world. Most of the heroines are high-ranking and well-known beings.

Moreover, it has been contracted by him for many years and is considered private property.

Moreover, there are many film and television materials that cannot be reshot, because the heroines in them are no longer youthful.

Of course Chenglong didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in Zhang Nan's words, but after hearing Zhang Nan's strong assurance, he could only vaguely believe it.

……

That night.

In the private cinema in the villa.

Zhang Nan hugged Li Jiaxin and Zhou Huimin and lay on the sofa watching the new version of "Twelve Zodiac Signs".

Yes.

This version of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" is somewhat different from the "Twelve Zodiac Signs" of the original time and space. The plot is more refined and the action design is better.

After all, "Zodiac" in the original space and time was said to be Chenglong's farewell to action movies, but in fact, Chenglong had been in decline for some time at that time.

When people are on the decline, no matter how hard they work, their works will inevitably be stained with decay.

But this version of "Zodiac" is a new work after Chenglong's successful transformation, and the mood is different.

Li Jiaxin, who was lying in Zhang Nan's arms, was not in the mood to watch a movie and was currently trying to convince Zhang Nan.

"I didn't mean it this afternoon." Li Jiaxin said softly.

Zhang Nan said angrily: "You're still lying. The little Jew has heard it, but you haven't heard it?"

"Okay, I heard it, do what you want!" Li Jiaxin held out her stomach.

Zhang Nan's claws were numb.

He also understood why Li Jiaxin acted like this in front of Chenglong.

I just want to take advantage of his power, take advantage of the power of the fox in front of the dragon, and use the power of the dog to fight against the power of others, which makes me feel happy.

After all, Li Jiaxin has the temperament of a little woman.

"When you unload the goods, see if I can let you carry it. Eat and go." When he said this, Zhang Nan looked at Li Jiaxin's upper and lower sides and gave him a fierce look.

Then I focused on the [Twelve Zodiac Signs].

When Zhang Nan finally left, Little Jew took Li Jiaxin's hand in confusion and said, "Axin, did Anan say something wrong just now? Shouldn't he be walking around because he can't eat?"

Li Jiaxin had already reacted and said with a blushing face: "He's right, he's trying to cause trouble."

……

After today, Zhang Nan had a detailed discussion with Chenglong and Yinhuang Pictures about the release of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" based on the content of the new version of "Twelve Zodiac Signs".

It will be released in the mainland first and then distributed overseas.

On the mainland, it is still the same, using the distribution channels of Yinhuang, Huaying and Magic City Film Group.

After all, this film was made by Chenglong to make money, and it was really difficult for Longgong Film and Television to get involved.

In terms of overseas distribution, Longbow Publishing is taking the lead, and Warner, Universal, Paramount, and MGM are jointly distributing the film.

This can roughly guarantee the box office performance of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" in other movie markets except the mainland, and will not repeat the single-digit box office mistakes of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" in the original time and space. But "Zodiac" is a pure action movie after all, and action movies are currently weak.

So after a lot of work, this version of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" is estimated to have the same box office in the Mainland as the original time and space, with a box office of more than 800 million and almost 900 million yuan in the original time and space. With Chenglong's current reputation for successful transformation, It is estimated that it can reach the threshold of one billion yuan.

The overseas box office is estimated to be more than 100 million US dollars. When the mainland and overseas are added together, the total box office is almost 200 million US dollars.

After all, the sequel to a well-known action movie like "Taken 2" only grossed US$3.93 million at the global box office.

……

Late December.

Yinhuang Pictures and Chenglong accepted Zhang Nan's distribution suggestion. It stands to reason that Zhang Nan would have to appear at the premiere.

But unfortunately, in North America at the end of December, Disney is also planning to release "Pirates of the Caribbean 4".

This film can be regarded as starring Zhang Nan, and it is Zhang Nan's temporary farewell film in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

It would be hard for Zhang Nan not to attend the premiere.

……

12 month 28 day.

It’s still the Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard.

The premiere of [Pirates of the Caribbean 4] is being held with great fanfare.

There is no way not to be vigorous.

In this version of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, except for the first "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", which did not exceed one billion U.S. dollars at the box office, the remaining two films have all exceeded the global box office threshold of one billion U.S. dollars.

Compared with the five films in the original universe, only two films have reached the threshold of breaking one billion US dollars in global box office, and the level is much higher.

you could put it that way.

Among the current Hollywood blockbuster series, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is among the best in terms of numbers.

But what surprised Zhang Nan was that Xiao Lizi also came to support him.

This guy has been eyeing the Oscar winner for the past few years, and has been deeply involved in the circle of literary and artistic films. He has not shown his face in the field of commercial films for a long time.

In the original time and space, Li Zizi also had a movie called "Inception", but it was blocked by Zhang Nan before.

and so……

If nothing goes wrong with this guy, he should be coming for him.

But Zhang Nan was not completely sure, so Zhang Nan nuzzled at Old Luke and said: "Old Luke, find a suitable time to contact Xiao Lizi and see if anything happens. If anything happens, , and asked him to wait until after the premiere to set a location and then talk. I don’t have time here now, I have to take care of Disney and Johnny Depp.”

Old Luke nodded upon seeing this, expressing his understanding, and then slowly moved towards DiCaprio. Zhang Nan also focused on the premiere of [Pirates of the Caribbean 4].

no way.

Unlike other movie premieres, this [Pirates of the Caribbean 4] premiere is a little special.

Because after he sold part of the rights to the [Pirates of the Caribbean] series to Disney at a high price, this [Pirates of the Caribbean 4] is currently his last work.

When Disney bought the copyright, it was very convenient to pay for it, so he naturally had to do a good job in handing over the rights.

Otherwise, if [Pirates of the Caribbean 5] fails at the box office, Disney will still blame him, which would be bad.

Therefore, at the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", Zhang Nan not only had to do a good job in promoting the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", so as not to affect the movie's box office.

He also had to express his intention to let go of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series peacefully, and at the same time, he had to reveal that he had a good relationship with Johnny Depp, who took over as the protagonist of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

With so many things going on at a premiere, Zhang Nan really didn't have the energy to deal with other people.
