Chapter 675 [The Hobbit 3] [One step away] [Taking Tiger Mountain outsmart]

"If you can't make a cameo and just invest, Zhang, the investment share of [Mission: Impossible 5] is actually quite popular, but as long as you can help bring [Mission: Impossible 5] to the mainland, you can apply for what is called an extension key. thing."

Tom Cruise paused for a moment, became cruel, and offered a price: "30%, I will leave 30% for you. According to the rules of the Mainland Film Market, it can be made into a co-production."

Hear the words of the co-production come out of Tom Cruise's mouth.

Zhang Nan was really shocked.

But remembering that in the original time and space, this person could even change his beliefs in order to make money, now just understanding the rules of the mainland film market is nothing.

From Tom Cruise's perspective, Zhang Nan does not see that he wants to take advantage of the huge potential of the mainland film market to put the "Mission: Impossible" series among the top series with a global box office of one billion US dollars.

But Zhang Nan saw Tom Cruise's desire for the mainland film market.

but……

Your bargaining chips are not enough to attract me!

Coupled with the finale of his "The Hobbit" trilogy.

Tell the truth.

……

"The Hobbit: The Third", released on Wednesday, grossed US$3 million in its first five days.

This is reflected in the box office.

"The Hunger Games 3", which only stayed at the top of the North American weekly box office rankings once, was pulled down and given a beating.

The character's sudden change of determination, the self-righteous love, and the inappropriately timed laughs that deviate from the rhythm of the film.

Then the situation in the North American movie market became a torn between "The Hobbit 3" and "The Hunger Games 3", while "The Wandering Earth" was squatting aside to watch the movie.

"I'll... think about the co-production." Zhang Nan declined vaguely.

But overall, it's still a film worth watching.

I can only watch the movie, because the single-day box office of "The Wandering Earth" in the North American movie market has dropped to less than one million US dollars. It is too small to participate in it.

It can be said that the future prospects are very limited.

[Mission: Impossible]’s follow-up [Mission: Impossible 5.6.7], that is, [Mission: Impossible 5] rose to prominence for a while, but then slowly began to decline.

The melee between dwarves, elves, humans, and orcs is also well-paced.

But in terms of plot design, there are some flaws.

When Tom Cruise saw this, he had nothing to say and instead focused his attention on the big screen of "The Hobbit 3".

Without it.

More importantly, this kind of cooperation, if you just open your mouth and agree, it will make people feel like they are at a disadvantage.

Of course.

The special effects scenes in [The Hobbit 3] are still very good.

By the time of "Mission: Impossible 7", its global box office had dropped to less than million US dollars.

Mid-December.

Zhang Nan returned to the mainland again.

At this time, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" in the Mainland is still strong.

The single-day box office from Monday to Thursday has stabilized at around one million yuan. The three days of weekends combined can barely touch the threshold of 10 million yuan.

In the end, it was able to rely on its single-week box office performance of about 14 million, and it was still in the top four of the mainland's single-week box office rankings from time to time.

As for the top three in the mainland's single-week box office rankings.

It is "The Year in a Hurry" produced by Pentium Malaysia and directed by Zhang Yihei, starring Peng Yuyan, Zheng Kai and Zeng Xiaoxian; co-produced by China Film, Magic City Film Group, Columbia and Yinhuang Pictures, Jiang Wen followed "Let the Bullets Fly" "One Step Away" is a new work after "One Step Away"; co-produced by Bernard Films and Wanda Pictures, Xu Laoguai's new work "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" after "Di Renjie: Dragon King of the Dragon King". These three newly released movies are respectively in control.

Among these three films, the one with the strongest momentum and the loudest calls before its release was released.

And Jiang Wen’s [One Step Away].

After all, his previous film "Let the Bullets Fly" left a deep impression on the mainland film market and audiences.

But for investors who understand the details of [One Step Away], it is a bit false.

Because "One Step Away" was originally scheduled to be released a year ago.

Due to the onset of Jiang Wen's literary illness, it was postponed for more than a year, and now it is the end of 2014.

The key is that during the delay of more than a year, the production costs of "One Step Away" are also being consumed.

China Film could no longer hold on, and subsequently added investors from Magic City Film Group, Sony Columbia Asia Pictures, and Xiangjiang Yinhuang Pictures, and was able to barely maintain its capital chain.

But the cost of [One Step Away] has also reached the level of 300 million yuan.

If you want to make your money back, you will need a box office of nearly one billion yuan.

Tell the truth.

After seeing the major investors in the finished film, I felt a little guilty.

It turns out.

The box office performance of [One Step Away] after its release made its investors feel guilty.

Because "One Step Away" took in a box office of RMB 8159.3 million on the first day and a box office of RMB 3.43 million in the first week.

The box office took a big dive the next week.

The single-day box office dropped from RMB 70 to 80 million to RMB 10 to 20 million, which is obviously an anticlimax.

On the other hand, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" directed by Mr. Xu.

However, after the first day's box office was less than 3.2 million yuan, the subsequent single-day box office was like sesame seeds blooming, and finally pushed the first week box office to million yuan.

Moreover, the box office performance of "Take Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was stable in the second week.

All of a sudden, I was far more than one step behind [one step away] at the beginning, and slowly became [one step away] ahead, half a step, one step, two steps, three steps... until I was [one step away] again. I can’t see the taillights of [Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Mind] either.

Even when the time came to the end of December 2014.

The box office trend and cumulative box office of "The Year in a Hurry" starring a group of young celebrities are better than that of "One Step Away".

Completely letting [one step away] become Jiang Wen's Waterloo after [letting the bullets fly].

Of course.

Jiang Wen is not as miserable as Napoleon after Waterloo.

After all, not to mention the mainland film and television industry, even the fiercely competitive Hollywood will usually give directors who have successful movies at the box office a second chance.

For example, when Wu Baige bankrupted MGM, people still asked him to continue directing "Memory Crack".

What's more, directors in the mainland film and television industry are still in a worse environment.

A project failure after a huge success can only be regarded as just starting out in the circle of well-known directors in the mainland film market.

Moreover, the current environment for investment in the mainland film and television industry is particularly good.

Let's just put it that way.

The two top "sinkholes" in the past, such as Chen Wuji and Wu Baige, have now received projects and are making a comeback again.

One is preparing for the [Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain], and the other is preparing for the [Taiping Wheel].
