How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 781 [Monster Hunting 2]: They were obviously two very good things, but why did they end up like this?
Just when "Detective Chinatown 2" took five days to completely surpass "Monster Hunt 2", it didn't take long to be proud.

Chen Sicheng suddenly discovered that the cumulative box office of "Operation Red Sea", which he had not paid much attention to before, had approached one billion yuan in five days, reaching 9.34 million yuan.

Moreover, the box office curve of "Operation Red Sea" is different from other movies in the Spring Festival.

Other movies are getting lower and lower, but "Operation Red Sea" bucks the trend.

So far, the single-day box office of "Operation Red Sea" has been declining for five consecutive days.

This also makes the single-day box office of "Operation Red Sea" now reach 2.45 million yuan.

Although there is still a gap of more than 2 million yuan from the single-day box office of "Detective Chinatown 3.02" of million yuan.

But it can’t stand up to other people’s box office curves!
If this momentum continues, maybe [Detective Chinatown 2] just stole the limelight from [Monster Hunt 2], and [Operation Red Sea] will also come from behind and make a comeback.

So Wanda Pictures began to invest a lot of publicity in "Detective Chinatown 2".

no way.

Since acquiring Zhang Nan's distribution business, Wanda Pictures has become a well-known distributor in the mainland and even around the world.

But all this time, there was no decent project in hand.

Let’s not talk about overseas business. After all, although the Hollywood giant is now in decline, it is still prosperous on the surface.

However, there are no eye-catching projects in the mainland business, and Wanda Pictures' face is a bit lackluster.

Now that "Detective Chinatown 2" is gaining such momentum, Wanda Pictures, as the producer and distributor, naturally wants to support it.

only……

If "Detective Chinatown 2" has the quality of "Detective Chinatown 1", maybe this wave of support from Wanda Pictures can really allow "Detective Chinatown 2" to touch the position of the mainland's annual box office champion.

But "Detective Chinatown 2" is obviously a product that was rushed and perfunctory, and the quality can only be said to be barely acceptable - compared with "Detective Chinatown 3".

Therefore, even though Wanda Pictures invested a lot of promotion efforts in "Detective Chinatown 2", "Detective Chinatown 2" was still beaten by "Operation Red Sea" with a single-day box office of 2.35 million yuan on its seventh day of release. ]'s single-day box office of 2.4 million yuan was surpassed.

Then "Detective Chinatown 2" disappeared like a breath of strength. In its third week of release, the single-day box office dropped directly to the million yuan mark.

But [Operation Red Sea] still has a stable single-day box office of over 100 million yuan.

However, "Operation Red Sea" was initially far behind "Detective Chinatown 2" at the box office, so the stable single-day box office in this third week only narrowed the gap between the two.

Until the 23rd day of release, which is March 3 at 10 pm.

"Operation Red Sea" only had a cumulative box office of 32.58 billion yuan, slightly ahead of "Detective Chinatown 32.57" with a box office of 2 billion yuan.

However, at this time, the box office potential of "Operation Red Sea" and "Detective Chinatown 2" have basically been redeemed.

The single-day box office of both has dropped to around 20 to 30 million yuan.

And when the time comes to March 3, the annual Spring Festival period in the mainland has already ended.

Marvel Studios took advantage of this time point to directly put their own "Black Panther", which is particularly in line with North American regulations and correct, onto the big screens in major movie theaters around the world. Naturally, this is no surprise in the mainland.

Therefore, "Operation Red Sea" and "Detective Chinatown 2", which originally had a single-day box office of to million yuan, fell directly to less than million yuan in box office.

Of course.

Both Bernard Pictures, the producer of "Operation Red Sea", and Wanda Pictures, the producer of "Detective Chinatown 2", are quite satisfied with the box office results of their projects.

There is no way to be dissatisfied. The box office has already exceeded 3 billion yuan. If you are not dissatisfied, there will be no justice.

The only one who is a little dissatisfied with this Spring Festival release is Lean Pictures' "Monster Hunt 2".

Because before the release.

On IP popularity.

"Monster Hunt 2" has the same predecessor as "Monster Hunt 1", which has a box office of more than billion yuan.
The predecessor of "Detective Chinatown 2", "Detective Chinatown 1", only had a box office of 8.23 million yuan, and "Operation Red Sea" has no predecessor. At most, director Lam Chao-hsien had previously directed "Operation Mekong", which had a box office of 11.86 billion yuan. , but none of them can be compared with [Monster Hunt 1].

On the opening box office.

"Monster Hunt 2"'s first-day box office figure of 5.4 million yuan is higher than the first-day figures of "Operation Red Sea" and "Detective Chinatown 2" combined. If you want IP, you have IP, and if you want a good start, you have a good start.

How come two good things come together and end up with a third party...?
Le'an Pictures was puzzled, very puzzled.

But the film and television industry is so unreasonable.

……

Mainland, Magic City Disneyland.

[Pirates of the Caribbean 7] crew.

When the Spring Festival in Mainland China was raging, Zhang Nan was already on the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean 7".

After all, there are no projects from Longbow Film and Television participating in this Spring Festival.

The reason why this wave of "Pirates of the Caribbean 7" will be filmed in Disneyland is not in Longbow Studios.

the reason is simple.

Although Disney Studios has been open for more than a year, almost two years, and its popularity is good, it is still a bit uninteresting.

The Disney Group, the parent company of Disney Pictures, directly changed the Toy Story Land that was originally planned to be expanded in the Magic City Disneyland into a Pirates of the Caribbean land in order to increase the popularity of the Magic City Disneyland.

Everyone has planned in advance like this, so Zhang Nan is a movie maker, so naturally it’s not easy to force him to come.

In the few dozen days from the end of January to the beginning of March, Zhang Nan basically played his part.

So Old Luke saw this and started to work for Zhang Nan again.

“The preliminary preparations for [The Wandering Earth 2] are almost complete.

But if you follow that script, you won’t have many scenes this time. In addition, when filming [The Wandering Earth 1], there was a lot of material that was not used, and it is very suitable for [The Wandering Earth 2].

So it is estimated that you can finish shooting "The Wandering Earth 2" in about ten days.

My suggestion is that after [Pirates of the Caribbean 7] is over here, you can go directly to [The Wandering Earth 2] to shoot.

Because Spielberg's "Ready Player One" will premiere in March, you have to attend it, after all, it is a project with a share.

Then in early April, Universal Pictures also planned to put "Fast and Furious 8" on the schedule before the summer vacation.

During the North American summer vacation in May, there will be Marvel Studios’ [Avengers 3].

At the same time, New Line Cinema also plans to let "Sauron 3" take over the popularity of "Avengers 3" in June.

Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible 6 will also be released in July.

Although these things don't take much time, they are also annoying in pieces.

Therefore, I have arranged the filming schedule for [Jurassic World 4] in August and September.

And MGM wants to continue filming [004]..."

Old Luke held a thick folder and kept telling Zhang Nan about the next day's itinerary.

Zhang Nan saw that Old Luke's time had been arranged until November, and he quickly waved his hand and said: "It's already the end of the year, and there will be no more projects until 2019!"

Old Luke nodded upon hearing this.

"How about we talk about the shooting project next year?" Zhang Nan suggested.

The reason for this proposal is simple.

Movies shot in 2019 will be released in 2020 at the earliest
But at the end of 2019, the whole world is in turmoil. Who the hell still wants to watch movies?

With hundreds of millions of dollars invested in film and television projects, Hollywood giants are a bit unable to handle the non-repayment of the money for more than a year or two.
