Chapter 186: "Despicable Me" (4/5)
The mainland entertainment industry was disrupted by Zhang Junsheng winning the Oscar for Best Director...
At the same time, Yuehua announced that "People in Embarrassment" is scheduled for March 8th...
Originally, "Avatar" has knocked out a bunch of movies in the market - the box office champion for ten consecutive weeks!
The cumulative box office broke 1.5 billion, directly throwing off the original first place by one billion...
Let's put it this way, the box office of "Jin Yiwei", which was released in February, exceeded 100 million, and the producer was as excited as his grandson!
In addition, the highest box office is "Love in the City" released by Yuehua, the box office just exceeded 100 million, and the third generation is actually the big movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", with a box office of 98 million...
In the past, Yuehua was in the second half of the year, looking at this posture, this year is to be popular from the beginning of the year to the end of the year
Judging from the film list, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" in January, "Love in the City" in February, "People in Embarrassment" in March, "To Youth" in April, "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" and "Piano of Steel" in May, "Painted Skin 2" in June, "Kung Fu Panda 2" + "Kuiba" in July, "My Master Jiang Ziya" in August
In September, there is also "Inception";
The National Day file has "Di Renjie";
In November, "Border Storm";
The Chinese New Year file "Tangshan Earthquake" and "Let the Bullets Fly"...
This is to exert full force
No matter what the industry thinks, anyway, when the market opens in the morning, Yuehua's stock price will rise directly...
Therefore, winning an Oscar for Best Director is in line with the pursuit of interests!
By the way, "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" and "The Piano of Steel" were all selected for the main competition unit in Cannes...
……
In the morning, in the peak entertainment office, Wen Ziren looked at Zhang Junsheng who was sitting opposite him drinking coffee with a little envy...
"What kind of eyes are you here, I'll tell you, I don't do it!"
Wen Ziren rolled his eyes: "... You went to the hotel with Scarlett last night."
“… How do you know?"
"You've kissed all the way to report, how do you say I know!"
took the "Los Angeles Super News" handed by Wen Ziren: "... Damn, what age is this, and there are still newspapers with such names."
“… Gossip tabloids are usually called this way, can I help you clarify it"
"No!" After a pause, Zhang Junsheng said: "Seven-foot man, you should have the courage to fight ten times!"
“… What"
Yanyu Jiangnan's "Dust Margin", it is estimated that Wen Ziren has not seen it...
I'm and prostitute, I just do what a man does...
Besides, the love of men and women is natural, what is there to criticize
"Scarlett is married, you know what"
“… Who is Walter married to?"
"Ryan Reynolds..."
The actor of "Green Lantern"...
Zhang Junsheng couldn't sit still: "Is the impact very bad?"
"No, it's just a tabloid report, and most of the media don't mention it!"
"That's good... I don't want to be banned..."
Changed the subject: "... When will your "Latent" be released?"
"It's April!"
"April is not a good schedule"
“… Horror movies are either spring or Halloween, which schedule do you want to release"
"Then April, what about Inception"
Compared with "Latent" and "Twilight 3", "Inception" is the big project at the top of this year!
"On July 13, Nolan's movies are usually released at this time!"
"Are there any opponents?"
"Agent Sauter, Wizard's Apprentice, and Predator..."
“… It's okay, spend more time on the promotion of "Inception", I'm hungry, "Twilight 3" is set for August, I will strive for the simultaneous release in China!"
Wen Ziren thought for a while: "Yes!"
In fact, the first two films of "Twilight" were approved through Huaxia Films, but this year, China Film decided to introduce "Twilight", which caused Yuehua to be unable to do anything...
……
A few minutes later, Chris Meledander walked in, and the first thing he said was: "Zhang, "Despicable Me", have you seen it?"
“… Look, it's very good!"
"How much do you think the box office can be?"
“… At least $500 million!"
"North America in One Place"
"Of course it's global! You think 'Despicable Me' is 'Avatar'"
North American film history has recorded that until now, only "Avatar" and "Titanic" have a box office of more than $500 million, by the way, and "Batman: The Dark Knight"...
Before the superheroes didn't wield their power...
"Then I'm relieved!"
“… By the way, Chris, you find a few practitioners with experience in peripheral development, and the peripherals of "Despicable Me" should be developed simultaneously!"
"Don't worry, I've signed a bunch of power of attorneys..."
Zhang Junsheng frowned: "You have already signed"
“… Rest assured, the price will change according to the box office of the movie!"
Chris certainly understands what Zhang Junsheng is worried about: "The authorizations I signed are all puppet manufacturers who have cooperated several times before!"
"When will "Despicable Me" be released?"
"It's tentatively scheduled for July 9th..."
"That's not a collision schedule with "Inception", and "Kung Fu Panda 2" is also released in July!"
"That's... Then I..."
Wen Ziren spoke: ""Shrek 4" will be released on May 21, "Toy Story 3" will be released on June 18, and "Kung Fu Panda 2" will be released on July 28..."
“… So what?"
"So, "Despicable Me" had better be released in September..."
Chris is dissatisfied: "Why September"
Zhang Junsheng explained: "August gave up to "Twilight 3", released in September, I can achieve global synchronization, and I can now say that the second part of "Despicable Me" can be launched!"
“ok!”
Now that Zhang Junsheng has spoken, and clearly told him that the series can be started, Chris can't say anything no matter how dissatisfied he is...
What does the September release and the July release represent?
One is the summer file, and the other is the autumn file!
Horse-stepping!
Why should you give up the summer file to "Kung Fu Panda 2"?
Just because it's a little bit more expensive
"Kung Fu Panda is a series that has already made a difference, and the $150 million investment is three times higher than 'Despicable Me', and I expect it to win the Oscar for Best Animated Film!"
“… You think too much, with Pixar here, the Oscar for Best Animation can't be awarded to other studios!"
Chris scoffed at his nostrils...
Zhang Junsheng was speechless, after the birth of the Pixar gang, they basically monopolized the Oscar for Best Feature Film...
DreamWorks was able to compete with them a few years ago...
This year's "Wall-E the Robot" was a direct frustration for all anime companies...
The love story of a pure country boy and an avant-garde violent ice beauty makes Pixar's story beautiful and natural through robots!
If it weren't for the box office not being too high, Chris would probably want to commit suicide...
"WALL-E" grossed $530 million worldwide, but it cost $200 million to produce...
In other words, the cost was not recovered through the box office, which is why the second part has not come out until now...
