Chapter 273: I'll Be Back
Tangshan Earthquake is already in the past, and Li Qian threatened to break the box office record of 1.3 billion yuan in "Avatar" this year!"
"Li Qian released a shocking statement that the next movie wants to surpass "Avatar"!"
"This afternoon, at the celebration press conference that "I Am Legend" set a new box office record for domestic films, Li Qian said that he would regain the box office record in the history of the mainland film market on behalf of domestic films!"
"One billion is not the goal, and "Avatar" is not the end, Li Qian's eyes have already looked at two billion, three billion!"
......
Almost as soon as the celebration party ended, before the next day, the media frantically reported Li Qian's bold remarks at the press conference that night.
Even, the record-breaking of "I Am Legend", which should have been the main topic, has become secondary.
There's no way, Li Qian's words are too big.
That was the record of "Avatar", with a box office of more than 1.3 billion.
When the domestic box office ceiling was still 400 million, "Avatar" swept the box office of 1.3 billion, sweeping the film market in January, February and March.
This is still more than a week after its release, in order to protect the domestic blockbuster "Confucius", China Film let "Avatar" be removed from 80% of the 2D screens, and only released on 3D and IMAX screens.
Moreover, it is not just a series of numbers, the influence caused by "Avatar" is not much worse than that of the big ship back then, and even once made the profession of scalpers resurgence in the film industry.
Since 06, there have been almost no scalpers doing movie ticket business, and the last time scalpers appeared was when "The City is Full of Golden Armor" was released, although the film was average, but on the first weekend of the release, it was still difficult to grab movie tickets in good movie theaters in big cities.
In 07, "Casting the Name" and "Assembly Number" were released, although they were two blockbusters, they were still separated by a few days, and the lineup of the two movies combined was not as good as Zhang Yimou, who was in full swing.
However, after "Golden Armor", Zhang Yimou began to decline.
"Avatar", which made ticket sellers rampant, is undoubtedly the movie that caused the biggest sensation last year and even in the past decade, and it has only been less than a year, and everyone remembers the pomp and power when it was released.
However, Li Qian actually said directly that the next movie is going to hit the box office record of "Avatar", how can it not make the media excited and climax.
Not only the media, but even ordinary viewers and netizens, the first time they saw the news, they were the same as the reporters at the press conference, first stunned, and then looked at the video footage of the press conference, Li Qian spoke clearly, his tone was not like a joke, his face was serious and with a familiar smile.
This is true, not made up by unscrupulous media!
After realizing that this was really Li Qian's original words, the audience was also excited.
"Damn, watching the video is really what Li Qian said, I thought it was a reporter bragging. â
"Is Li Qian taking the wrong medicine, "I Am Legend" is still being released, and the next movie will surpass "Avatar"?"
"I guess he didn't wake up, and I suspect he was kidnapped by reporters, otherwise he could have said such brainless words?"
"I thought I didn't wake up, Li Qian is crazy. â
"This is too arrogant, let's talk about what he will do in his next movie. â
"I feel that Li Qian has always been quite low-key before, he hasn't said anything big, why is he so brainless to say such things this time?"
"Super "Avatar"? After a few big movies, it floated, I really don't know how thick it is. â
"I suspect that there is a gun in his hand in a hurry, and Li Qian is pointed at a gun (funny. JPGïŒâ
"Well, although I like Li Qian's movies very much, this is too unreliable, 1.3 billion is scary to think about. â
......
Li Qian's next movie is going to hit the box office record of "Avatar", this topic has immediately become the most controversial topic on the Internet, although it has just begun, but it has already formed a wide range of discussions on various forums and Weibo.
Even ordinary viewers who like Li Qian, as bystanders and laymen, feel outrageous, let alone industry insiders.
In the industry, everyone is also shocked, whether it is actors, directors, or CEOs of major companies.
"Is this Li Qian really crazy, or is he pretending to be crazy and stupid?"
The next morning, Huayang Media, Huang Zhongjun rubbed his head with some distress.
The National Day and Chinese New Year stalls lost one after another, although they all made money, but they did not meet expectations, and the situation of Huayang Media was not too good.
For Li Qian's every move, Huayang Media is always focused.
If there is no Li Qian, the current mainland film market should be dominated by Huayang Media.
"I don't understand, it's not like what he did. â
Huang Zhongjun also looked puzzled, although he hated Li Qian very much and wished he would die, but they also knew Li Qian sincerely.
Even with personal emotions, I have to admit that Li Qian basically has no shortcomings except for his bad temper.
And Li Qian's stinky temper, whether he scolded his predecessor Ma Xiaogang before he became famous, or openly couldn't get along with them, it didn't have any impact on him.
Because, every time there is a positive encounter, the films directed and invested by Li Qian have won.
It was Huayang and Ma Xiaogang who were embarrassed.
Could it be that this time this time will be the same as before, and Li Qian will fulfill his big words again?
The two brothers suddenly had such an idea in their hearts, but they felt ridiculous, and immediately threw the thought out of their minds.
couldn't think of a reason why Li Qian was suddenly so arrogant this time, Huang Zhonglei could only say, "Big brother, in my opinion, this Li Qian was purely after breaking the record, and he was carried away by the box office, thinking that he was omnipotent." â
"That's right. â
Huang Zhongjun, who had no other reason, could only nod and sneered, "After all, he is a young man, and he has surpassed so many big directors in his 20s. â
After Li Qian, Huang Zhonglei's next words, Huang Zhongjun couldn't laugh.
"Big brother, Ma Xiaogang seems to have some opinions on our New Year's moves, and he is still blaming us for not communicating with him about the publicity plan, and he has already met with people from other companies. â
"What?"
Hearing the news, Huang Zhongjun immediately sat up straight, and his voice was raised in a higher tone, "Didn't I ask you to appease him well?"
"I did what I had to do, and looking at him like that, I'm afraid it's real this time. â
"Don't panic, he won't go to the Bernard, the new picture is not possible, not to mention other small companies, there is not much threat to us. Huang Zhongjun still calmed down.
"But there is still Guangxian, Wang Changtian was not in the capital the day before yesterday, and the new Song Ge of Wanda suddenly disappeared. â
"Guangxian, Wanda?"
Huang Zhongjun's face was a little ugly, he was not worried about other companies at all, but these two were exceptions.
Although Guangxian has not made any achievements in the film industry, it is also the place where Ma Xiaogang is most needed, and Ma Xiaogang can best reflect his own value at the same time.
The key thing is that Guangxian has already decided to go public in the second half of this year, if Wang Changtian is tempted by shares, Ma Xiaogang's urine is really uncertain.
And Wanda also has money.
"His next stop should be Chongqing, book a ticket for my nearest flight. Huang Zhongjun immediately decided, and at this time he really wanted to go to him in person.
"Hmm. â
Huang Zhonglei called his secretary, booked a ticket, and talked about another director under him, "By the way, big brother, Teng Huatao found Wang Jinghua for that project, and Wang Jinghua is now pulling investment everywhere." â
"The two of them went together? Leave him alone. â
Huang Zhongjun, who was not in a good mood, frowned again, but at this time, he didn't have time to care about Teng Huatao.
.......
Like Huang Zhongjun, most of the CEOs of other companies thought that it was the idea of young people who were empty-eyed after they succeeded, and secretly despised it in their hearts and regarded it as a joke.
For directors in the industry, Li Qian's words are not only big, but also ignoring everyone and humiliating them.
"Grass!"
Ma Xiaogang, who was far away in the country of abundance, watched the news and blurted out another national scolding.
"Who is this looking down on?"
Ma Xiaogang scolded in his mouth, although he has been very low-key during this time, it does not mean that his dislike for Li Qian will be reduced by half a point.
Even because the emotions have been held in the heart, there is no way to vent, but the hatred and hatred are getting more and more serious.
"What is the first to break one billion, two billion, three billion is him!"
In Ma Xiaogang's view, this is to bring all the directors along, Li Qian doesn't mean that he will be the first to break one billion, two billion, three billion, and even break any record, and no one else has anything to do.
It's not about looking down on other directors for what!
Ma Xiaogang, who had been holding back for a week, finally couldn't hold it back.
In the face of the interview, he fired at Li Qian again.
"There must be a limit to madness, if you have some achievements, you don't know how high the sky is, and if you don't reach a billion, you think about three billion, I advise him to distinguish between dreams and reality, and don't bring the things he thinks in his dreams to reality, otherwise, it is easy to be regarded as a neurotic ......"
This time Ma Xiaogang had no scruples, it was obvious that neither the media nor the audience thought that Li Qian could do it.
Even if his Li Qian's movies are higher than the other, it is absolutely impossible to have a box office of 1.3 billion this year.
If someone opens a market, bet on whether there will be a movie to break the record of "Avatar" in a few years, no matter what the odds are, 99% of people will definitely not be able to break the bet.
This time, Li Qian slapped himself in the face, what else did Ma Xiaogang have to worry about, and he also released his cruel words, announcing to everyone that he would come back!
"No matter how much box office Li Qian's next movie gets, I put my words here, my next movie will definitely surpass him!"
Ma Xiaogang learned to be obedient this time, but he still didn't say that he would surpass "Avatar", but only said that the next movie would surpass Li Qian's next movie.
Li Qian's next movie, if there is no accident, it is estimated that it will be this year, and his next movie will be at the end of next year at the earliest, a year away, Ma Xiaogang is still very sure.
What's more, this time it is the same theme as "Tangshan Earthquake", after last year's success, this kind of theme is already easy for Ma Xiaogang.
Ma Xiaogang once again incarnated as a horse cannon, and he also got on a par with Li Qian, and the reporters on the scene were so excited that they didn't come in vain.
"Is Director Ma confident that the next movie will break the box office record of "Avatar"?" the reporter asked.
"Records will be broken and everyone will see in the near future. â
Ma Xiaogang didn't amplify his words, but after this defeat, he knew how to write the word low-key.
