Chapter 223 First Weekend Box Office (3/5)

Perhaps Aniston's eyes were so exciting that the plane's son burst into unprecedented combat power.

From the bathroom to the living room, and from the living room to the bedroom…

It lasted for more than an hour, and the son of the plane strongly imported positive socialist energy...

Aniston was exhausted and paralyzed. When Zhang Junsheng left, she didn't even have the weapon to raise her hand...

...

Located north of Los Angeles International Airport, Santa Monica is the most attractive beachfront city in California.

This is the headquarters of many independent film companies, Dingfeng Entertainment is located here. Two streets away is Lion Gate Pictures, and further north is the location of Xinyi Pictures...

Although Xinyi Film was acquired by Warner Bros., it still has production and distribution capabilities.

Ten years ago, Xinyi Film successfully topped the second-tier list with the "Lord of the Rings" series, and then what?

Xinyi Company was blindly optimistic and mistakenly thought that any movie rich in fantasy elements would be sold. So in 2006, he devoted all his efforts to create the "Golden Compass" series, with an investment of up to US$180 million.

Unexpectedly, the first film lost the box office after it was released, and only earned $26 million...

By the way, Big Brother Cheng Neng gained a foothold in Hollywood thanks to the new line, and the "Pulse Hour" series is also created by the new line...

On Monday morning, CEO Wan Ziren and several other executives were also present in the Tingfeng Entertainment conference room, and Zhang Junsheng also attended as the boss.

In addition to the initial meeting, this is the first time Zhang Junsheng appeared in the conference room of Tingfeng Entertainment...

He sat in the middle.

"Inception's box office results of $70.8 million in the first weekend. According to market analysis, this movie has a good reputation and a stable future box office trend. It is conservatively estimated that it will have a North American box office of $300 million!"

“…Many critics praised Inception as a masterpiece, a truly ambitious blockbuster that doesn’t feel like a movie, it makes people enter another world, the screen of the theater is like a dream in your mind. In today’s Hollywood, this is simply incredible…”

Zhang Junsheng nodded...

Dingfeng Entertainment set a lowline for "Inception" very early. The box office in North America cannot be less than US$200 million, and the global box office must be at least US$500 million.

If there is less, if the sales around the video are not good, losses may occur.

According to the current situation, "Inception" is likely to bring more than 200 million direct revenue!

Those executives looked at him with obvious admiration...

How to say it, the three movies "Inception", "Cloud Map" and "Alien Battlefield" are all high-concept science fiction works.

Forget it, the movie was not found in Dingfeng Entertainment, and Di Baby produced it independently, but "Cloud Map" had been found in Dingfeng Entertainment.

The Wachowski brothers... No, they should be brothers and sisters, and they are also considered first-class directors. "Cloud Map" itself is a very influential science fiction novel. At that time, Tingfeng wanted to promote "Cloud Map"...

Then the Cloud Map collapsed...

Invested 100 million US dollars, with a global box office of 130 million US dollars, and only 25 million US dollars in North America...

To be honest, if it weren't for the original time and space memory, Zhang Junsheng wouldn't have dared to bet on "Inception" - the Hollywood consensus, original commercial films have long declined, especially in the field of mainstream commercial films for big productions.

Although "Inception" won the box office list with a weekend box office of $70.8 million, compared with Nolan's previous work "The Dark Knight", it is simply a terrible thing.

The work of "The Dark Knight" two years ago rose to $158 million in the first weekend, setting a new box office record, and has not been able to compete with it yet!

Wen Ziren interjected: "In the past few days, "Inception" has been discussed online, and movie fans have various interpretations..."

"Hurry a few navy troops and let them lead the rhythm. The more controversy is, the more conducive it will be to the subsequent screening!"

What a movie is afraid of is never controversy, but fear of not controversy. The more controversial the topic, the more popular it is in the media. Only controversy can bring enough attention.

“How is the overseas box office?”

"…Europe's box office reached 50 million US dollars, Japan and South Korea contributed 20 million US dollars, Asia, South America and Australia contributed 13 million US dollars, and overseas box office performed well... But Mr. Zhang, when will China be released?"

Domestic Movie Protection Month…

Even if it’s a co-production film, you have to go aside!

It is normal for market protection measures like this. It is available to many countries and regions around the world, and it is not the exclusive product of China!

"On August 28, I will ask Nolan to take Leonardo to China for its premiere. I am sure that the box office of "Inception" in China will be at least 500 million!"

Wen Ziren was startled and asked in a low voice: "RMB?"

"…Barring nonsense, of course it's RMB 500 million, even "Avatar" can't do it!"

Sighing: "It's a pity that Nolan rejects 3D. Otherwise, the global box office of "Inception" would not be less than US$1 billion!"

If you don’t understand Nolan, “Inception” is first a science fiction action commercial masterpiece, and then other ones. Commercial blockbusters must have impact!

He understands this truth very well, so the special effects of "Inception" are considered the top.

But why do we need to reject 3D?

And he also rejected numbers and insisted on using film...

"Do we still need to invest in the next movie of Nolan?"

Zhang Junsheng thought for a while and shook his head: "...No need, he is a personal shareholder of Warner. Even if we can invest, we will not be able to gain any advantage!"

"Inception" is successful, Warner Bros. will definitely pay more attention to Nolan. Even if Tingfeng can invest, he will not get a share of the next work. Let's forget it...

"Well, "Twilight" is released next month, and we have contacted 4,050 theaters to start painting at the same time!"

“…Where is “Despicable Me”?”

Chris Mellerdandley replied: "It has won 3,800 theaters!"

"That's good..." After a pause, Zhang Junsheng continued: "Actually, I came here today mainly because I thought of two ideas."

Two series of "Hurricane Rescue" and "Quick Chase" were taken out by Zhang Junsheng: "Action films have always been the most popular theme in the world. As long as we can control the cost, it is easy to make a profit!"

"Last year, I told James that horror films are difficult to enter the Chinese market, but action films are different. Even if they are not qualified to introduce, I still have a way to introduce them into China through film matching. I can guarantee that the box office of these series will not be less than US$20 million!"

These two are traditional tough guy action movies, with the visual impact and sensory shock of the moves that are red, and many people have always liked it...
