How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 697: It’s true that there are groupies in the Mainland, but not Baldy Xu and Feng Pants.

"That's true, but Mr. Kang, based on the current box office trend of [Mission: Impossible 5], the box office of one billion yuan should be stable.

If the box office of "Mission: Impossible 5" exceeds the one billion yuan box office threshold in the mainland, then Tom Cruise will not be able to mention the contract anymore!

Besides, October is the National Day, so what’s going on with a Hollywood spy movie being released in the movie market? The impact is not good either! "Zhang Nan opened his mouth and said something.

Kang Pei, the new president of China Film Group on the other side of the phone, hesitated.

Because the reasons mentioned by Zhang Nan are really somewhat tenable.

But Kangpei is not stupid either.

"Director Zhang, do you have any projects at Longbow Films to be released at the end of September?" Kang Pei asked suspiciously.

Zhang Nan did not hide it when he heard this. After all, there is no way to hide this kind of thing, so he answered directly: "Mr. Kang is great, but it is not a project of Longbow Film and Television. It can only be said that there is some participation. A movie It’s Xu Zheng’s “The Lost Portal”, and the other one is Mahua Kaixin Pictures’ “Charlotte’s Trouble.”

Kang Pei, the new president of China Film Group Corporation, knows all about "People on the Road to Hong Kong".

After all, according to normal rules, no one would compete with another popular project on the same stage.

"So! I am not talking about [Mission Impossible 5], after all, they are all projects that I am involved in, but I am discussing the matter." Zhang Nan explained tactfully.

Zhang Nan, who was on the other side of the phone, patted his chest when he heard this and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Kang, if Tom Cruise makes any mistakes in the subsequent co-production plan of the [Mission: Impossible] series, I will compensate the [Star Wars] series to Huaying Make a series.”

After all, the series "Unfortunately", as the first blockbuster in the mainland film market to break one billion yuan in box office, still ranks high.

"Well, since you have said so, Director Zhang, what else can I say. But Director Zhang, if Tom Cruise removes the follow-up "Mission: Impossible" series from the co-production project because of this little move of ours, Get away..." Kang Pei said a little worried.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should hope that Tom Cruise would make some mistakes in the follow-up "Mission: Impossible" series, or not.

Kang Pei on the other side of the phone: "..."

Even because he heard from Zhang Nan that "Charlotte's Sorrow" would be released almost at the same time as "Journey to the Harbor", Kang Pei still had a little contempt for "Charlotte's Sorrow".

Kang Pei: "..."

Hearing Zhang Nan's actions and outspoken words, Kang Pei on the other side of the phone didn't know what to say. He could only smile bitterly and said: "Director Zhang, [Mission: Impossible 5] also has a large share of Longbow Films." ah!"

Kang Pei was stunned after hearing Zhang Nan's promise.

after all……

However, Kang Pei is not sure about "Charlotte Troubles" and Mahua Happy Pictures.

"Director Zhang, Director Zhang, you..."

That’s [Star Wars]!

Of course.

When Zhang Nan said this, he didn't mean to be happy. Because in the original time and space, with the restart of the new trilogy of the [Star Wars] series, the market share of the mainland film market has soared.

Disney Pictures, which acquired George Lucas Pictures and obtained the rights to the "Star Wars" series, is already preparing a "Star Wars Story" series that is more suitable for the tastes of mainland audiences.

Jiang Wen and Zhen Zizi, two top-tier mainland artists, were also invited to star.

It's a pity that mainland audiences are really not very interested in the subject of bachelors, which caused the "Star Wars Story" series to suffer a heavy blow.

It’s just that those were all facts after the movie was released, and no one knows how well [Star Wars: A Star Wars Story] is adapted to the mainland of China. Just the name of the [Star Wars] series is still very bluffing.

……

It is still in the living room of the villa in Longgong Film and Television City.

It’s just that this time Zhang Nan met not Xu Zheng from the crew of “The Lost Portal”, but the main creative team of “Charlotte” crew: Hao Jian, Ma Dongmei, Sha Chun... and Mahua Happy Pictures CEO Zhang Chen.

The purpose of calling this group of people here is also very simple. It is to let these people know that "Charlotte Trouble" will be released at the end of September, and they will have to spare time to promote it.

In the original time and space, "Charlotte's Trouble" had a limited screening scale, basically no publicity, and was even smeared by other competitors.

Step by step, it passed the one-billion-yuan box office threshold in the mainland, and finally locked the cumulative box office at 14.44 billion yuan after the film was released.

Now with Zhang Nan as a backer, the response scale has been raised to the level of a top blockbuster from the beginning. The box office of 14.44 billion yuan is definitely not the end of "Charlotte Trouble". Maybe the threshold of billion yuan can be touched. touch.

However, Zhang Nan is very confident about "Charlotte's Annoyance", but the creative team of "Charlotte's Annoyance" and Zhang Chen, the boss of Mahua Happy Pictures, are a little worried about "People in the Harbor of Embarrassment".

After all, the "Embarrassing Road" series is the first mainland movie to break a billion yuan box office, and like "Charlotte", the theme is comedy.

As a fledgling "Charlotte Troubles" and a creative team that is involved in the film for the first time, the pressure is still a bit too much.

"Director Zhang, you have a lot of connections. Should we move the schedule to a later date? After all... you also have a share of investment in [People in the Harbor of Embarrassment]. We can't fight against our own people!" After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Zhang Chen, president of Mahua Happy Pictures, suggested worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, I have people who are close and distant. I am only one of the investors in [People on the Road], but [Charlotte Troubles] was fully invested by me.

What’s more important is that I have watched the finished film of "囧囧之行的囧". The plot is too embarrassing. It is full of Xu Zheng’s high self-esteem after becoming famous. The quality is not good at all. It will definitely not be able to beat "Charlotte" at the box office. trouble]. "

Zhang Nan waved his hand and rejected the suggestion of Zhang Chen, the president of Mahua Happy Pictures, and continued: "So once [Charlotte Trouble] and [People in the Harbor of Embarrassment] meet, wait until [People in the Harbor of Embarrassment... 】With the decline in expectations and the collapse of the movie's reputation, the box office trend will definitely not be able to sustain it.

But the audience's expectations for comedies have already risen. As long as I manipulate public opinion, "Charlotte" can absorb the fans of "Embarrassed".

After all, the audiences in mainland movie theaters are indeed star-chasers.

But the ones I pursue are those who are handsome and beautiful.

Xu Zheng's bald look is better than Feng Pants's obscene face, and he won't go far on the road of becoming a traffic fan. "
