Next chapter
North America has always been the vane of movies, and movies that sell well in North America basically mean that they can sell well all over the world. Distributors in various countries look at the North American box office to choose what movies to release.
"Saw Horror" was released for two weeks and the box office was amazing, which made Summit Entertainment quickly release the movie and sell it all over the world.
The UK, which is closest to Hollywood, is the second region to start showing Saw Releases, followed by Japan, Thailand, the UAE and Turkey. In other countries and regions, it will be released in 2012.
No matter how much you earn, you are making money now.
Zhang Tan didn't smash his signboard, even if it was a horror movie, he had to make a big move. Now "Saw Horror" is not only amazing at the box office, but also completely established a reputation among the audience. Although the media is very unceremonious to think that the film production is terrible, but for fans who like horror movies.
"Saw Horror" is a rare masterpiece.
On the official website of Summit Entertainment, fans have asked for a sequel to be launched next year, because the big wave of SS in it got up and patted his ass and left, and there was no ending about him.
The sequel plan was already thought of by Zhang Tan, he had seen all seven movies in his last life, and he had also seen a lot of fan-extended fandom, summarized story lines, etc., so he knew the movie well. These movies, although the level of word-of-mouth is uneven, almost none of them have not made money at the box office.
Certified by Guinness as the most successful horror film series.
How can you not get it out.
Of course, he will no longer be the director of the sequel planned to be filmed in the future, because the sequel's reputation has not been able to surpass the first one.
"We are already working on a sequel, and I can happily tell you that from the very beginning, SA was a huge project. Director Tan Zhang's imagination is beyond your imagination, as long as everyone likes it. We can release a "SA" every Halloween! ”
Robert responded to these fans on his official website, and at the same time did not forget to promote more: "Among the horror film directors, Tan Zhang is definitely the greatest one of the century. You will be impressed by him, not far away...... In March, we launched the real-life ghost documentary "Smart: Ghost Shadows", and in June, we launched the terrifying death journey "The Grim Reaper", are you ready? ”
The outbreak of a "Chainsaw" undoubtedly made horror fans. began to face up to the small company Summit Entertainment, so he was full of expectations for the two upcoming movies.
In fact, all over the world, it has attracted a lot of fans for Summit Entertainment, because the overseas watch of "Chainsaw" is also good.
Among them, the United Kingdom contributed more than 10 million box office, and Italy also contributed more than 6 million box office, and finally received a total of 47.91 million US dollars during the several months of overseas release.
And in North America, from the third week, it was unable to maintain a box office of 10 million. With $7.43 million, it slipped to seventh place. Then with the release of blockbusters in the Christmas schedule, the box office gradually began to fall behind, and finally received a total of $60.32 million during the two-month release period.
The global box office has accumulated 1.08 million US dollars, successfully breaking 100 million yuan, becoming Zhang Tan's third personal film to break 100 million US dollars at the global box office.
"A superstar of directing is rising." Empire magazine interviewed Zhang Tan for the second time, this time by phone.
"Chinese director Tan Zhang has achieved success in Hollywood and has established himself with SA." Variety Magazine.
"Counting the young generation of Hollywood directors, who will lead the world in the future?" Time Magazine's U.S. main edition.
This article in Time magazine writes about several young directors who are beginning to make a name for themselves in Hollywood. Among them, Zhang Tan was introduced, saying that Zhang Tan is the best among the current young directors, and the future is limitless. Because Zhang Tan's directing style is changeable, but each one is surprising.
In fact, "Time Magazine" originally planned to give Zhang Tan an exclusive interview, but the reply he got was: "I don't have time." ”
I had to settle for the next best thing and write a summary article.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time Time Magazine has written about Zhang Tan.
As early as a few years ago, there was an article about Zhang Tan in the Asian edition. It's just that there are no interviews. As a magazine that records the impressions of the times, Time Magazine mainly publishes the hottest events and people of the moment, and Zhang Tan has set off several phenomenal trends in Asia.
But it's a pity that the other party didn't come to interview him, and he didn't ask him to be on the cover.
The closest time was when "Source Code" was released, as a Chinese science fiction movie, it was so successful and its influence was not weak, but "Time Magazine" interviewed the actor Huang Daliang, but did not give Zhang Tanbiao a chance.
This made Zhang Tan secretly hate in his heart, feeling that the Asian edition of Time Magazine did not give face, and said that his own appearance was Xiàn, and who else could be stronger than him!
Can Huang Daliang compare with himself?
So Zhang Tan, who was malicious, refused the interview request of Time Magazine. His idea is that unless the other party wants him to be on the cover, this feud can't be resolved.
It's not an interview on the cover, so let's take a break.
When the assistant refused, Zhang Tan said coldly: "What's the point of not being on the cover!" ”
There is still a sentence that is not spoken: "One day, Time Magazine will have to cry and shout, begging me to be on the cover, begging to interview me!" ”
A bit of a middle two.
But forgive me, when the other party contacted him, he was in the middle of a spring breeze, and his mentality swelled for a while.
Why is the spring breeze proud?
None of them.
He was invited to attend a Tan-style martial arts academic seminar hosted by Peking University, and Peking University also invited him to give a lecture to students.
Originally, he refused all this kind of invitations to academic seminars, because he was always a little embarrassed to be touted in person. I also feel that my novels are plagiarized and borrowed, and I don't learn or learn anything, and I am not worthy of giving speeches to others.
But two reasons prompted him to agree to this invitation.
One reason is because I have been bored at home for more than n days, and those who have been "tortured" by Susa have lost weight, and they urgently need to go out to relax and breathe.
Another reason is that the other party has repeatedly invited, and professors such as Li Qiru and Han Yunbo, who were also invited, also called, hoping to discuss martial arts culture with him.
In particular, Li Qiru said: "Tan Zhang, your novel has a far-reaching influence now, and it is convenient for us to sort out and summarize it for students who will engage in creation in the future." Do some helpful enlightenment...... Your new book "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" has sold 9 million copies, and it has received rave reviews, and I have been giving lectures to students recently, and I hope to get your thoughts when writing. ”
"The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" was released in June. The previous pre-sales set a record, and the sales on the shelves broke the record, with a total of more than 7 million units sold in China, and nearly 2 million units of traditional Chinese versions in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas, adding up to a total of 9 million units. It became the best-selling novel in China this year.
At the same time, the response to this martial arts novel is also a good applause.
The book is no longer simply about martial arts, but has gradually begun to focus on reasoning and solving cases, increasing the interest of reading, and at the same time reaching the pinnacle in character building.
Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, Ximen Blowing Snow, Ye Gucheng, as soon as this lineup came out, it immediately made people tremble.
Especially Ximen Fuxue and Ye Gucheng, the battle of life and death at the top of the Forbidden City is simply a big scene beyond the imagination of readers, in the history of martial arts novels. Except for the earth-shattering Huashan Sword Discussion written by Zhang Tan before, there is no scene comparable to the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.
Lu Xiaofeng's series of 7+3 was integrated by Zhang Tan into one, taking the essence to remove the dross, plus his own novel experience, in the real sense, it is the culmination of Zhang Tan's fusion of martial arts.
As soon as the novel came out, the world was convinced.
With more than 9 million units sold, there is no one before and it is estimated that there will be no one in the future.
The film and television adaptation rights are even more used by several film and television companies. Squeeze your head and scramble. In the end, Tianyu Media bought the TV series adaptation rights for a record-breaking 550,000 episodes. Sonic Pictures also broke a record of 18 million and snatched the right to adapt the film.
The most exaggerated is the game adaptation rights, a newly formed mobile game company. With 13 million plus 15% of the company's shares, he snatched the mobile game copyright. Kingsoft Company snatched the adaptation rights of online games and stand-alone games for 20 million, and the copyright of web games was divided equally between six game companies, each with 2 million.
Drama copyrights, comic copyrights, and other bits and pieces of total copyrights add up to nearly 10 million.
Other words. The copyright of the adaptation alone has gained 100 million.
Coupled with the royalties of publishing, 200 million is a sure earning.
This figure is a bit exaggerated, mainly related to the IP strategy that has been hot in the past two years, and an IP like "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", which is destined to be a hit, is not surprising no matter how high the price is.
The reason why those game companies give such a high price, to put it bluntly, is that they want to gather more heat after the movies and TV series are broadcast.
Zhang Tan's novels have blossomed in various fields such as games, novels, comics, and film and television, and they are no longer within the meaning of the copyright of a single novel.
That is, his other novels sold early, otherwise they would be sky-high. But then again, if it weren't for the previous novels that copied Tan-style martial arts to today's popularity and popularity, it is unlikely that "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" will sell at a sky-high price.
Tan-style martial arts help "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".
"The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" feeds back to Tan-style martial arts.
The popularity will only get higher and higher, and eventually let Tan-style martial arts ascend to the altar, for example, now, the Tan-style martial arts academic seminar held by Beiqi University is not unrelated to the current popularity of Tan-style martial arts.
Even professors like Li Qiru use Zhang Tan's novels as teaching materials, which can be seen.
Zhang Tan, whose vanity was greatly satisfied, found an excuse to "breathe" in his heart, so after resigning several times, he agreed "embarrassed": "Thank you for the invitation of Peking University, thank you for the love of experts, professors and scholars, I promised to attend the seminar and give a speech for the students of Peking University." But my knowledge is limited, and if I don't say it well, I still look at Haihan. ”
Zhang Tan's academic qualifications, that is, Nortel's bachelor's degree in directing, said that his knowledge is limited, but it is really limited.
But to the ears of others, it is the noble virtue and humility of the Chinese.
The modest Zhang Tan is about to go to Peking University to give a speech on New Year's Day, and as soon as the news came out, almost all the students of Peking University have booked their itinerary and are ready to squeeze into Peking University on the same day.
