Chapter 746 Spielberg: Peter Jackson, you are so rude as a junior.
Monday, October 5.

If it had been another movie's premiere, it would have been postponed a bit and would have been postponed to Friday.

But for [Jurassic World 3], a veteran IP series, it is also directed by Spielberg, a veteran top director, and starring Zhang Nan.

Then the release time can be more arbitrary.

And [Jurassic World 3] is also qualified to be willful.

Let’s put it this way!

The last blockbuster before the release of "Jurassic World 3" is also a planned series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2".

During the day when "Jurassic World 3" is about to be released but has not yet been released, the cumulative box office of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is not even US dollars, let alone at night.

no doubt.

[Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2] will gross less than one million US dollars at the box office on Monday, May st.

You must know that although "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" was released for three weeks, there were only three days in the first week. It can be said that the actual screening time was only seventeen days.

Moreover, [Guardians of the Galaxy 2] also took in a box office of 1.47 million US dollars in the first three days in North America; it continued to take over 1.01 million US dollars in box office in the next seven days in North America, taking in 5296.7 million US dollars; even in the third seven days, it also It took in a box office of US$ million.

With a total box office of over US$2 million in three weeks, [Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. ] is a strong performer.

But just like this strong "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", on the day of its premiere directly facing "Jurassic World 3", the single-day box office dropped directly from US$1495.1 million in the third weekend to less than one million US dollars. , dropped by about fifteen times.

This bloody data has already demonstrated the unstoppable power of [Jurassic World 3], and also made many movie projects that chose to avoid [Jurassic World 3] feel lucky.

……

【Jurassic World 3】

The premiere was held at the Hua Guo Grand Theater instead of the Longbow Studios in the Mainland.

Because Zhang Nan has been busy starring in "Fast and Furious 8" in North America during this period, and from time to time he has to make guest appearances in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and "Star Wars Episode 8".

However, it is precisely because it is placed at the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood that there are so many stars participating in "Jurassic World 3" this time.

Except for Johnny Depp, who got the film contract for "The Greatest Showman" because of Zhang Nan's recommendation.

And under the guidance of Zhang Nan, Robert Downey Jr. left Marvel Studios and started a new career in the "Sherlock Holmes" series.

Other acquaintances of Zhang Nan such as Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Nicolas Cage, etc. all came.

What Zhang Nan didn't expect was that Peter Jackson, the director of the "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" trilogies, who had not collaborated with him for a long time and was reportedly still in New Zealand, would also come.

And looking at Peter Jackson's somewhat messy appearance, he probably rushed here as soon as he got off the plane.

"Peter, thank you, thank you. You came all the way from New Zealand. I'm really embarrassed by what you did." Zhang Nan thanked the dusty Peter Jackson.

But after hearing Zhang Nan's words of thanks, Peter Jackson's eyes were full of complaints, which made Zhang Nan a little at a loss. "What's wrong?" Zhang Nan asked for some reason.

Peter Jackson stopped talking after hearing this, and changed his words: "Where's Steven? I want to talk to him."

Seeing as Peter Jackson didn't say anything, Zhang Nan was also busy on this occasion, so it was difficult to follow up. Peter Jackson could only use words and gestures to point out Steven Spielberg's position.

Peter Jackson found Spielberg according to the location mentioned by Zhang Nan.

"Steven." Peter Jackson said hello to Steven Spielberg.

As the director of "Jurassic World 3", Spielberg is not far away from the starring role of Zhang Nan, and Peter Jackson is also a high-ranking actor, so he noticed Peter Jackson when he came.

Then he almost watched Peter Jackson, a junior director, hesitate to speak to Zhang Nan, and followed Zhang Nan's gesture to find him by name, but he just said hello in silence, extremely puzzled. .

Therefore, Spielberg had the same reaction as Zhang Nan and asked: "What's wrong?"

This time Peter Jackson did not hesitate to speak, but spoke his mind.

The thing that stopped Peter Jackson from talking was not complicated at all. It was just the ultra-low director fee that New Line Cinema offered him in "The Legend of Sauron 3", which was a fixed salary of US$ million.

Spielberg: "..."

On Zhang Nan's side, he hesitated to speak, but on my side, he hesitated and expressed his feelings directly.

Peter Jackson, what do you mean?
Do you think that I also received a very low directing fee in the [Jurassic World] series, so you want to ask me about my experience and mentality?
Then Spielberg had just asked this question in his heart, and Peter Jackson asked directly: "Steven, why were you willing to take the role in the [Jurassic World] series?" Such a low salary?”

I'm a little embarrassed for asking this!
How can I answer this?

He said that his ability is no longer enough, Jiang Lang has exhausted his talents, and then he wants to find someone to hug him?

Fortunately, Spielberg is able to prosper in Hollywood, and his ability to make quick wits and talk nonsense is not small.

So Spielberg started talking.

"There is no way! Although Zhang's salary at that time was not as high as it is now, it still reached a fixed salary of 220 million US dollars, plus 35% of the global box office dividend and 45% of peripheral income. divided into.

And the situation at Universal was not very optimistic at that time. There was only so much money that could be invested in [Jurassic World], and the [Jurassic] series of IPs were like my children to me. " Spielberg explained mysteriously.

"The box office of [Jurassic World 1] has already reached 2 billion US dollars worldwide. It can be said to be a great success. How come in [Jurassic World ], Steven's salary went from to US dollars?" The price has been reduced from US dollars to million US dollars, Steven, have you never thought about fighting Universal Pictures to the end?" Peter Jackson continued to ask.

It’s not like Peter Jackson didn’t know that Spielberg made a box office hit after the success of Jurassic World 1 and before the preparation of Jurassic World 2.

But he is now facing the same situation as Spielberg, so he wants to hear from Spielberg his regret after choosing to compromise, and then let himself persevere.

But Spielberg can't read minds. Even if Spielberg could read minds, he would never be able to withstand Peter Jackson's questioning at this time.

So Spielberg only felt that Peter Jackson, a junior, had to prevent him, an old-timer, from stepping down from the stage today!
