How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 599 Global: Why is it rising? It has been like this for so many years. Find your own reasons.

"Don't even think about my new science fiction film series project. This project is for me to show the Hollywood giants that I am capable of producing big projects even if I completely separate from North America. So at the beginning of this project, There can't be any Hollywood elements.

However, I can give you a new task here. "Zhang Nan said directly to Lin Yishan.

After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Lin Yishan understood why Zhang Nan did not ask him to direct this new science fiction project, but instead found two newcomers from within the company.

But regarding the new task mentioned by Zhang Nan, Lin Yishan was a little resistant and said: "Director Zhang..."

Lin Yishan wanted to say something else, but Zhang Nan raised his hand to stop him: "The new task I give you is to talk to Universal Pictures about me joining [Fast and Furious 7]. "

"You want to join [Fast and Furious 7]?" Lin Yishan's tone was a little excited.

The reason why he wanted to return to China was for a project starring Zhang Nan.

After all, in today's Hollywood, who doesn't know that a project starring Zhang Nan is the best opportunity to become a top director.

"What? Not welcome?" Zhang Nan said pretending to be unhappy.

Lin Yishan waved his hand quickly and said: "No, no, you are very welcome."

"Why are you so happy?" Zhang Nan asked pretending to be confused.

Lin Yishan was stunned for a moment and said: "Director Zhang, I am the director of the [Fast and Furious] series!"

"But you just said you have no inspiration and want to give up." Zhang Nan continued to joke.

Lin Yishan: "..."

……

US$1748.4 million.

This is the first day box office of "Gravity".

Such a result is somewhat unsatisfactory, not very good, and can even be regarded as Zhang Nan's lowest performance in so many consecutive films.

After all, the first-day box office figures for Zhang Nan's previous guest appearances all started at 30 to 40 million.

Then just when the media started to look down on [Gravity].

[Gravity] is starting to gain momentum.

US$2300.1 million.

The box office dropped sharply the next day, and the film's reputation began to ferment.

By the end of its third day of release, "Gravity" had grossed another US$1529.8 million at the box office in a single day.

In its first three days, "Gravity" grossed US$5578.3 million at the box office.

This first week at the box office has been outstanding.

Because if we follow the conventional box office estimation method, the North American box office target of "Gravity" will be between 1.6 million and 2.2 million US dollars, and the global box office will be between 3.2 million and 4.4 million US dollars.

With such a box office performance, "Gravity" has been able to recover the production fee of up to 200 million US dollars.

Then the peripherals of the movie are pure profit.

And the sudden announcement of such an unpopular movie project will greatly increase the reputation of Warner Pictures.

These can be told in the financial market and exchanged for dollars.

Not to mention that the box office estimate of between 1.6 million and 2.2 million US dollars may not be accurate.

Because "Gravity" is not a fan-oriented movie, its subsequent box office trend will be very strong and it can continue to be released for a long time. As time goes by, it is estimated that it will have the opportunity to push the box office to close to 3 million US dollars in the North American movie market. the point. Moreover, "Gravity"'s performance at the overseas box office is also a success in terms of word-of-mouth, popularity, and box office. It is very likely to achieve a global box office of more than 4.4 million US dollars.

So under such circumstances, Warner Pictures executives began to cheer.

While Warner Pictures executives were cheering, in a conference room at Universal Pictures, the mood of the executives was like riding a roller coaster.

……

A conference room in the Universal Studios headquarters building.

President Tosh Kramer holds several draft proposals for the [Fast and Furious] series and subsequent filming plans.

But he put most of the drafts at the back, leaving only one draft proposed by director Lin Yishan, which he put at the front and watched.

It was also this draft that made Tosh Kramer choose to hold this meeting.

"Cough cough!"

Tosh Kramer first covered his mouth with his fists and coughed, and the conference room suddenly changed from noisy to quiet.

Seeing this, Tosh Kramer opened his mouth first and said: "Everyone must be aware of the changes in the [Fast and Furious] series during this period."

When the other global executives in the conference room heard what President Tosh Cramer said, their originally quiet emotions and mouths began to become restless again.

Without it.

These executives have been in Hollywood for so many years, have produced so many film and television projects, and have a lot of experience. But most of them, as producers, see that the leading actors are overpaid, so they add plot twists in the scripts, send away the leading actors, and lower the salary. Production costs - just like Marvel later treated Iron Man.

It’s true that I have never seen a situation where the leading actor drove off to see God and had to bid farewell to the character of the series.

This is a bit nonsense.

After all, isn’t it good to live well?

Moreover, with Paul's departure, the follow-up shooting plan of the "Fast and Furious" series has been greatly hindered, and a group of Universal executives suddenly discovered it.

The [Fast and Furious] series is a project that they usually don't pay much attention to, but it's okay when it's okay.

But when something really happened, they realized that this project had quietly become a project that Global was unable to let go of.

Although no movie in the entire "Fast and Furious" series has a total box office of over one billion U.S. dollars, compared with Universal Pictures' current franchise, the box office started at one billion U.S. dollars and ended up with over one billion U.S. dollars. Currently, The cumulative box office of the entire two-part series has reached more than 3 billion, which cannot be compared to [Jurassic World].

However, [Fast and Furious 5] and [Fast and Furious 6], two consecutive films, also received global box office of US$6.61 million and US$7.79 million respectively.

Although it is still far away from the world's top IP with a box office threshold of one billion US dollars.

But don’t use bean bags as dry food!

The global box office results of 600 to 700 million US dollars are already quite good.

"Independence Day", which once propelled Will Smith to the top star position in Hollywood, only grossed US$800 million at the global box office.

Even if the total box office of the series is accumulated, the total box office of the "Fast and Furious" series has exceeded the total box office of the "Jurassic Park" trilogy, the predecessor of "Jurassic World".

Don't worry about whether there are too many films to bully the few. It's a bit unscrupulous to make six films into a trilogy.

Looking for your own reasons, how come the length of your series has not changed at all after so many years, while others can continue to grow?

And if it really counts.

The [Fast and Furious] series came out after the [Jurassic Park] series, and the box office trend of [Jurassic Park 1.2.3] ranged from more than million to more than million, and then to more than million. Arithmetic sequence decreases.
