Chapter 588 Guest appearances in [Gravity] and [The Great Gatsby] are released

North America.

April.

[Gravity] crew.

In front of the camera.

Zhang Nan is wearing a space suit and is playing the role of the male astronaut who is the spiritual mentor of the heroine.

When a shot ends.

Director Alfonso Cuarón hurriedly shouted stop, and then flattered Zhang Nan.

"Zhang, your tone and gesture of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside after experiencing the attack of space debris just now was so great."

Zhang Nan smiled weakly when he heard this.

Can it be so awesome?

This is my true performance!

Since Xiao Jue and Jia Jingwen won the bid in March the year before last, Li Jiaxin and Ye Quanzhen won the bid in March last year.

Later, Zhang Nan's March schedule has been divided between Neon's Roppongi private red light street group and Korean private girl groups.

Zhang Nan just ran out from those two marrow-sucking and bone-gnawing places. He couldn't help but feel weak on the inside, and he showed his strength on the surface with all his strength.

After a brief exchange, Zhang Nan took off the mask on his spacesuit, then lay on the rest chair and looked at the [Gravity] staff as they began to adjust the shooting location.

The filming location of "Gravity of Earth and Stars" seems to have nothing to arrange.

After all, the entire movie is set in the void of space, and the only scenes are some space stations.

But there are actually a lot of things to arrange.

Because of the weightless state of space, if you want to express it when the earth has gravity, you have to set up different angles of steel wires to pull the simulation according to different actions, which is very laborious.

That is to say, taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Nan had nothing to do. He asked the director Alfonso Cuaron, who had nothing to do in arranging what shots to shoot for the next scene: "Cuaron, how did you convince Warner Pictures to invest in this film?" How much money did you get to make this kind of space science fiction movie? Or it’s 1.5 million for one investment.”

Tell the truth.

Zhang Nan really didn’t understand that the [Gravity] project could be successfully approved.

Because this kind of hard science fiction space movie is really not popular in Hollywood and has no market.

And before that, there was [2001: A Space Odyssey], a classic but unprofitable example.

Alfonso Cuarón didn't hide it when he heard Zhang Nan's inquiry.

After all, the two of them had briefly collaborated on a movie called "Harry Potter 4", and as soon as he called out, Zhang Nan made a cameo appearance - in fact, Zhang Nan was squeezed so much in Neon and Korea that she almost couldn't stand it. , seizing a suitable opportunity, they were unified like grasping a life-saving straw - Alfonso Cuaron was very grateful to Zhang Nan, and there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing.

“When the [Gravity] project was first established.

It was Warner who took care of me that after I finished filming [Harry Potter 1.2] with Chris Columbus, I immediately gave up and directed [Harry Potter 3] as a temporary relief, and the box office of [Harry Potter 3] The results were pretty good, but they directly replaced me in [Harry Potter 4] and gave me some compensation.

Moreover, the initial investment for "Gravity" was not large, only 7500 million U.S. dollars. Then... I asked James Cameron for advice, and the production fee for "Gravity" doubled, and here we are. 1.5 million US dollars. "Alfonso Cuaron said matter-of-factly.

After Zhang Nan heard this retelling, he immediately said with enlightenment: "Obviously, obviously, I am very familiar with James's operation. When he first played this skill on [Titanic], I was on the crew at that time." There is a guest appearance in it, which directly witnesses his technique.

But he is much more ruthless than you. That was in 1997, he dared to cheat th Century Fox of million US dollars in production fees, which made th Century Fox a little unable to bear it, and forced Paramount Pictures to He was also deceived into the investor camp. "

Not to be outdone, Alfonso Cuaron said: "The production fee for [Gravity] is now US$200 million."

"Huh?" Zhang Nan didn't respond.

Alfonso Cuaron reminded: "Plus your salary." Zhang Nan silently recalled the duration of his role in the original film "Gravity" and found that what Alfonso Cuaron said was pretty much the same.

"With a production fee of 200 million U.S. dollars, you are not afraid of the movie box office failure?" Zhang Nan asked.

Alfonso Cuaron said frankly: "I'm afraid, so I asked you to make a cameo~"

Zhang Nan: "..." speechless.

Not a moment.

After the scene was set, Zhang Nan put on the helmet again and started performing.

A few hours later, Zhang Nan's cameo came to an end.

And then for the next few days.

Zhang Nan successively guest-starred in "The Hunger Games 2" produced and distributed by Lionsgate Pictures, and "The Hobbit 2" co-produced and distributed by Warner, New Line and MGM.

It’s May, and the most popular summer vacation of the year in North America is here again.

……

5 month 1 day.

This time, it was Warner Pictures that launched the first shot of the North American summer vacation.

But what is different from previous years is that this wave of famous movies is not a commercial film, but a semi-commercial and semi-artistic film - "The Great Gatsby".

The movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio, and Zhang Nan also has Liu Tianwang and Jay Chou in it, so at the premiere Zhang Nan had to walk on the red carpet to show off.

After all, people have sent film appointments to Zhang Nan's artists out of respect. It would be rude for Zhang Nan not to go.

Then~

It can only be said that Leonardo DiCaprio's North American and global box office appeal is still there, but there are also restrictions on the subject matter of the movie.

[The Great Gatsby] grossed US$1941.2 million at the North American box office on Wednesday, its first day of release.

On Thursday, the day after it was released, it took in another single-day box office of $1765.7 million.

In two days combined, it took in nearly 3700 million U.S. dollars in box office, which is quite good.

If it can continue, North America may be able to break through the box office of 200 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office can almost touch the threshold of 600 million U.S. dollars.

But it is very helpless if this cannot become a reality.

Because the reason why "The Great Gatsby" chose to be released at the awkward time of Wednesday, May 5st is to take advantage of the summer vacation before "Iron Man 1".

But on May 5rd, [Iron Man 3] is coming.

Last year's "Avengers 1" was the finale of the first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The results can be said to be beyond the imagination of Marvel itself and many Hollywood practitioners.

It grossed more than 1.5 billion US dollars at the global box office and accumulated a large number of fans for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Then [Iron Man 3], as the first new Marvel work after [Avengers 1], is also the first work in the second phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it is also the latest sequel to Iron Man, the core member of the series.

Let’s put it this way!

The power is somewhat unstoppable.
