Warner Bros. Executive Meeting.

On the slides, the box office opening results of "The Matrix" are playing, and the numbers are very accurate, including the distribution of the audience, etc.

"Everyone has seen that "The Matrix" saved us, otherwise we would have to announce this year that Warner Bros. would have to rely on "The Hobbit" of the new line movie to support the scene." Warner Bros. Vice President Golvin Brown, pointing to the slides, said sternly.

Warner Bros. is one of Hollywood's oldest studios, and at the beginning of the 21st century, it was still very popular, sitting on the "Harry Potter" series and the "Lord of the Rings" series, sweeping the global box office. But feng shui takes turns, the "Harry Potter" series is over, and there is no movie to follow.

"The Lord of the Rings" also lost half of its distribution rights.

Originally, "The Lord of the Rings" was released by Warner Bros., but after the trilogy was filmed, because of the conflict with director Peter Jackson, the prequel "The Hobbit" trilogy almost did not get the copyright, and finally its film company New Line Films paid a lot of money to get half of the copyright, and the other half was robbed by MGM Pictures.

In addition, a few years ago, because he saw Marvel Comics adapt superhero movies and make a lot of money, Warner Bros. couldn't sit still and began to prepare for its DC Comics superhero movies.

It's a pity to start one and hit the street, Superman and Batman, who used to be seated, are now huge losses, and the company's management almost resigned en masse.

It can be said that Warner Bros. has really struggled in the past few years.

Fortunately, it was released on Luying last year, and together with Summit Entertainment, Zhang Tan's sci-fi blockbuster "The Matrix" was invested and released, with a cost of only 100 million, but it has only been released for a few days and only in two regions, and the global box office almost broke 200 million, which is bound to be big.

And Zhang Tan made it clear that "The Matrix" will make a sequel. It's already in the pipeline, and it's a gold mine that can make a lot of money.

"So my idea is very simple, fully cooperate with Luying!" Golvin said loudly, "Tan Zhang is destined to become one of the greatest directors. His ideas are brilliant and powerful, and I know he has a lot of plans for him to be the creative director of Warner Bros. ”

Warner Bros. new CEO Kevin Tsujihara was a little unimpressed: "I agree that Tan Zhang is a great director, but he is too young. Although he is doing a good job at the moment, he is obviously not qualified to control a studio as large as Warner Bros. ”

"You're biased against Tan is Chinese, Kevin!" Golvin said with a frown.

"I don't have any prejudices, Galvin, please don't be prejudiced against me, I'm an American, not Japanese, I'm not hateful to China, ok." Kevin spread his hands.

He is Japanese-American. His parents were both early Japanese immigrants to the United States, and he grew up in the United States, and last year he beat Galvin Brown in the race for Warner Bros. CEO to win, which also caused the two to be very uneasy.

A member of the board of directors coughed: "Galvin, Kevin's appointment as CEO is the unanimous decision of our board of directors, and we believe that he will not be rash, please just take matters into account." ”

Gorwin was helpless, saying that he was just a wage earner: "Okay. I take it back, but I remain adamant that Tan Chang is an opportunity for us and that Warner Bros. needs a new mindset. Expand our horizons. ”

Kevin shook his head and said, "There is enough talent in Hollywood to be the creative director, and we will look for an experienced person to do it." ”

"Who? Please sue me. Golvin retorted.

"We're still looking, trust me, Gorvin, don't worry."

"I couldn't wait any longer. We've been lost for a few years, and Warner Bros. is on the verge of falling out of the Big Six. Gorwin no longer looked at Kevin, but turned to look at the several board members in attendance, "Gentlemen, you're no stranger to Summit Entertainment. ”

"What do you want to say, Gorwin?" A Board member asked.

Gorvin Zhengse said: "Summit Entertainment, once just an insignificant small company, now, they are a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood, they have three horror series that can be tapped, and this qiē is just Tan Zhang's casual planning." ”

Closing the slide, Gorvin said solemnly: "Our strength is far beyond Summit Entertainment, but we haven't found a good direction, please think about it, what kind of genius can create acclaimed movies one after another, Tan Zhang has not missed a movie since he made a movie!" ”

"So, I'm asking Tan Zhang to be the creative director of Warner Bros."

In the conference room, there were a few minutes of talking, and then a board member spoke: "Kevin does not agree with Tan Zhang as the creative director, he is the CEO, and we will respect his opinion." But we also feel that Tan Zhang is indeed very talented, and maybe we can work together in another way. ”

"For example?" Gorwin asked.

The board member shrugged his shoulders: "For example, give him some of the creative projects?" ”

Half an hour later.

Zhang Tan, who had just gotten up and was about to exercise, received an international call from Gorvin: "Tan, oh, my dear Tan, I need your help!" ”

……

Korea.

Friday at one o'clock in the afternoon.

In front of a movie theater in the capital Seoul, there is a poster of the movie "The Matrix" on the left and a poster of the Korean movie "Hidden and Great" on the right.

There were already crowds of people coming in and out of the door of the cinema.

"Xiuna, shall we go to see 'Secret and Great'?" A girl with a beautiful face asks her best friend.

Best friend Xiuna shook her head: "Is it starring Yuan Liuhuan, although I really want to watch it, but I have decided to watch "The Matrix", the evaluation of this movie is too good, I have seen it in Junya in the United States, she said that it is very shocking, it is the greatest movie of the year." ”

"Okay, then watch The Matrix." The girl with a beautiful face doesn't seem to have any opinions, "Yuan Liuhuan Oba is my idol, Tan Zhang Oba I also like Smecta so much." ”

"Yes, although Tan Zhang is not as handsome as Yuanliu Huan, he is a director and is really talented."

"Xiuna, you said Tan Jang Oba and Uncle Bong Joon-ho, who is more powerful, "Snowpiercer" and "The Matrix" are being discussed on the Internet."

Xiuna snorted, "Those people are so boring. Blind and arrogant, although Bong Joon-ho thinks he's good, he obviously can't be compared with Tan Zhang. Tan Zhang is a world-class director and a world-class writer. And a hundred times more handsome than Bong Joon-ho. ”

"Hee-hee, Uncle Bong Joon-ho is also quite cute."

The two girls entered the cinema and came to the ticket office: "Two 3D tickets for "The Matrix", is there a place at the back?" ”

"There are too many people watching "The Matrix", this one. The seats in the back row are all available, and there are two empty seats in the fourth row that are connected together, is that okay? ”

"Ah, the fourth row doesn't look comfortable."

While checking the computer, the ticket clerk replied: "Then wait for the next one, I'll take a look at the next one, there are still three empty seats in the 7th row, but they are not connected." ”

"What should I do, Xiuna?"

"Forget it, Youxi. It's better to be uncomfortable than waiting here for two hours, and I happen to be a little short-sighted. ”

"But I'm not short-sighted......"

"Oh, don't talk nonsense, at most I'll get dizzy after reading it."

In this way, the two girls bought tickets for the remaining two seats in the fourth row.

Entering the theater, more than half of the people were already seated, and almost all the back rows were seated, only the front row and the occasional vacant seats on both sides. When the door is about to close, Su-na and You-hee find out. The first three rows were all seated, and those positions were 3D, and they probably had to spit out after reading it.

Youxi couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many people who watch "The Matrix". ”

There is a frustrated man next to him, who seems to want to hook up with Youxi. The interface said: "After all, it is the third movie in IMDB-top-250, and Tan Zhang's productions are all high-quality!" ”

"Oh." When Youxi saw the other party's face, she didn't want to talk more.

Three minutes later.

The lights in the theater went out, the advertising on the big screen ended, and "The Matrix" was officially screened. Su-na and Yoo-hee wear 3D eyes and hold their heads up. Quickly attracted by the cool, innovative content of the movie.

And this scene is just the most common scene of "The Matrix" released in South Korea.

"The Matrix," which began theaters on Thursday, dominated the Korean big screen almost effortlessly.

3.25 million moviegoers were mobilized in four days, directly breaking the record for the highest number of moviegoers in the first week of South Korea's history, and the box office share soared directly to 90.6%, making it the weekend box office champion. At the same time, 606,334 people were mobilized on the first day of the film, which set the record of the number of moviegoers on the first day of South Korea's previous years, as well as the number of moviegoers on the first day of foreign paintings.

The cumulative box office is 28.16 billion won, equivalent to 25.34 million US dollars.

Obviously, this is the strength of "The Matrix", coupled with Zhang Tan's charm, the two-pronged effort has achieved such brilliant results, and now South Korea has become another ATM for Zhang Tan.

Countries and regions outside of South Korea, although not so crazy, are also an amazing start.

Among them, the United Kingdom opened with a score of 9.05 million US dollars in the first weekend, Russia opened with a score of 7.08 million US dollars, and Australia opened with a score of 6.67 million US dollars.

Xiangxiang is 12.96 million Hong Kong dollars, and Taiwan is 250,000 New Taiwan dollars, which is also good at the box office.

While overseas paintings are doing well, the results of the second week in North America and China are still extremely dazzling.

There are no new films released in China in the new week, so the box office is almost only "The Matrix" is producing, and the single-day box office has not reached the height of 200 million, but it still almost maintains a daily break of 100 million, and only on Thursday and Friday it slipped to the level of 90 million.

In the end, it hit 760.52 million yuan in a single week, while refreshing the single-week box office record, the total box office of the film increased to 137269 million yuan, surpassing the championship record of 1.36 billion yuan held by "Blue Star Man", becoming the most popular film in Chinese film history, refreshing all the records that should be refreshed.

Zhang Tan finally cashed in his title of "China's most awesome commercial director".
