Crazy?

A movie with an investment of only 30 million has a box office of 500 million?

The audience was stunned.

Gu Qiao was stunned.

Lin Haitang was a little incredulous.

Takayama's eyes widened.

Liang Kesheng also sighed in his heart, although Lu Ban had already greeted him in advance, no matter what Lu Ban said, don't be surprised, but this sentence is really a bit unbelievable.

Five hundred million!

If it is 100 million, Liang Kesheng feels that with the quality of this movie, even if there is a little less film schedule, it should be barely close in the end.

But that's half a billion.

Or at a time like the Spring Festival, the possibility is very small, unless the box office explodes.

Liu Xin looked at Lu Ban deeply.

Although she also knew that the figure Lu Ban said was too exaggerated, even if there was little hope, everyone had always worked hard for it.

Only Kong Xi and Lu Xun looked indifferent.

Lu Xun didn't quite understand what the concept of 500 million was.

For outsiders, it is common to hear how many billions a movie has at the box office, and it seems that 500 million is not a lot.

And Kong Xi.

She just smiled.

Lu Ban is attracting everyone's attention to this movie, he said this sentence of 500 million, no one pays attention to the three big names in the audience, so many media in the audience may have been attracted by the three big names at first, but at this time their eyes were all focused on Lu Ban.

Just like Kong Xi thought.

The reporters in the audience were like bloodthirsty mosquitoes swarming when they smelled blood, long guns and short guns, camera flashes flashed, and the scene was all boiling.

"Director Lu, are you saying that there will be a box office of 500 million in the end?"

"A small-scale film in the Spring Festival stall has never had such a high box office record!"

"Director Lu, will you regret what you said today?"

You must know that the production cost is less than 30 million, and the most popular artist in the movie is only Liu Xin in the second line.

Such a lineup wants to hit the box office of 500 million.

It's tantamount to a fool's dream.

But the last thing a reporter is afraid of someone bragging, and the more you blow it, the more you will continue to blow it, until you blow this cowhide and you will be greeted by a group of cynicism.

"I don't regret what I said today. ”

Lu Ban said seriously: "And I am sure that the box office will exceed 500 million, this is my confidence in the movie, and it is also my trust in the actors, I believe that it will become a movie with a good reputation and box office." ”

Liang Kesheng and Gao Shan glanced at each other.

It's obviously too late to hold Lu Ban now, and Lu Ban's purpose is obvious, just to attract attention.

If the final box office is not 500 million, even if it is only one or two hundred million.

In fact, in the end, neither the audience nor the media will delve into it, because by that time, a movie with a good reputation will be praised regardless of whether it meets expectations in the end.

So they decided to let Lu Ban continue to blow this cowhide.

"Sister, do you believe what Lu Ban said?" Kong Xi asked Gu Qiao beside him in a low voice.

Gu Qiao shook his head: "Five hundred million, it's a bit difficult." ”

"So that's why you're going to break up. ”

Kong Xi pursed his lips and smiled: "You should believe what Lu Ban said, even if he said that he was going to pluck the moon and give it to you, you should believe that he could do it." ”

"Huh?" Gu Qiao frowned slightly.

"I dare to guarantee that this time Lu Ban is not bragging, he really thinks that there will be a box office of 500 million. Kong Xi said seriously.

"What?"

"I told him when he came out of Starlight Entertainment that he wanted to be a blockbuster for everyone. ”

Kong Xi glanced at Lu Ban under the lights on the stage, and said with a smile: "If there is no box office of 500 million, what will we do to make a splash?"

Kong Xi didn't say a word.

Because she saw unprecedented confidence in Lu Ban's eyes.

......

Passerby in the small office of A Pictures.

Liang Kesheng looked at Lu Ban, a young man who has always been very optimistic about this play, and has never let himself down, he has reason to believe that what Lu Ban is doing today is to attract the attention of the media, and he also chose to let Lu Ban continue to blow this cowhide at that time.

But when the cowhide was blown out, he wanted to know what Lu Ban thought.

"I can understand what you're doing today. ”

Liang Kesheng's fingers tapped on the tabletop, making a smacking sound: "But I want to remind you, if the final box office is less than 500 million, have you ever thought about how to deal with the cynicism of the media?"

"Didn't think about it. ”

"You should think about it, and the easiest way to do it is to prepare a hush money ......"

"I mean, it's definitely going to be over half a billion at the box office. ”

"I know...... Wait, what did you just say?" Liang Kesheng suspected he had misheard.

Lu Ban can only repeat again: "I said, the box office will definitely exceed 500 million." ”

Liang Kesheng was silent for a while.

Then he said: "500 million, for our movie, whether it is from the schedule or from the attention, there is a lot of difficulty, I understand that you made today's decision after careful consideration, and now the attention before the release of the movie has gone up, which also shows that your approach is right, but this will have a certain impact on your career as an artist." ”

Liang Kesheng put it mildly.

Lu Ban smiled and said: "Director Liang, I understand your worries, and I also know that everyone doesn't believe that the box office can exceed 500 million, only after the final results come out, maybe everyone will know what I said today, and it will definitely become a reality." ”

"Stinky boy. ”

Liang Kesheng also smiled, and said helplessly: "I don't know whether to say that you are confident or arrogant, but I have arranged for Kong Xi to prepare, once the box office is not good, she will contact various media as soon as possible, and she will always leave a way back for herself." ”

"Thank you. ”

Lu Ban nodded: "Actually, you and Mr. Gao didn't stop me today, I believe that I also understand that the impact of my words will not be too bad in the end, even if it doesn't reach 500 million, only 100 million and 200 million are enough to prove the success of this movie, but I still believe that the box office of this movie will reach 500 million." ”

"You ......"

"Director Liang, you don't have to worry. ”

Lu Ban said seriously: "The box office will definitely not be bad, what I said about 500 million is just a conservative statement, the box office of this movie will definitely surprise everyone in the end." ”

"How much is a surprise?"

"A billion to make a base. ”

Liang Kesheng was silent for more than ten seconds, then picked up the documents on the table, stood up and walked out directly: "Don't say that I know you in the future." ”

Lu Ban pursed his lips and smiled.

Liang Kesheng persuaded himself for so long, he is probably very tired, after all, his self-confidence is pure nonsense in the eyes of many people.

But Liang Kesheng did not blame himself.

I don't believe it, but I still support it.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken away the documents of the contact information of the film scheduling managers of the major theaters just now.

This time.

Everyone thought Lu Ban was gambling.

It's just a gamble in the eyes of others, in Lu Ban's view, he is just a bookmaker who wins and does not lose, and he himself knows very well that the box office in his previous life was close to 1.5 billion.

He said five hundred million.

It really leaves a lot of leeway.

This is still a judgment made after combining the influence of factors such as the poor filming of the world cinema chain and the fierce competition in the Spring Festival stalls.

Liang Kesheng didn't understand.

Takayama didn't understand.

Lu Ban just smiled, because they were different from themselves, they had the trajectory of their previous life as the basis for judgment, and their judgment was only based on their past experience, and like those reporters, they all thought that Lu Ban couldn't do it.

Only Lu Ban knows.

This time, he actually has full certainty, he said that he wants to be a blockbuster, if he doesn't let everyone think he's crazy, how can he be a blockbuster?

He didn't go out with Liang Kesheng.

Because he knew that there were already reporters outside, all waiting to interview him, hoping to get some more news of the explosion out of his mouth.

He has no intention of reading Weibo.

It is estimated that the Internet has fried the pot now, whether it is Weibo or major forums, they must be discussing Lu Ban's remarks, if the box office flutters, it is estimated that this will become a stain on Lu Ban's acting career.

Just like Liang Kesheng said.

If there is 100 million, everyone will think that Lu Ban is just bragging, after all, the box office is not bad, and it is so-so.

However, if it is only tens of millions.

Then Lu Ban will be miserable.

Today may be the hottest day for Lu Ban to come to the world, even more popular than when Gu Qiao was hot.

He picked up his phone.

He hesitated.

still dialed Liu Xin's phone first.

After two beeps, the call was connected.

"Are you home?" asked Lu Ban.

"Hmm. ”

"Then you remember to get something to eat, I'm not going to go today, and you go to bed early. ”

"Actually, you don't have to come here every day. Liu Xin said in a low voice.

Lu Ban smiled: "Okay, I know." ”

"The ......"

"What?"

"When the scarf is finished, I'll send it to you. ”

“...... Good. ”

Lu Ban hung up the phone, he felt that there should be no shortage of scarves in the future.

Then he made another call.

Call Gu Qiao.

Toot ~ Toot ~

After a long time, just when Lu Ban thought that no one answered, the phone went through.

Gu Qiao: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just want to thank you for today. Lu Ban said.

"Thank you, Kong Xi dragged me there, I didn't plan to go, I don't like such a lively occasion......"

Lu Ban listened to Gu Qiao's explanation, and the more he explained, the more it looked like a cover-up.

Gu Qiao didn't explain, she also felt that it seemed to be a bit much, so she changed the topic and said, "You are still in the company?"

"Hmm. ”

Lu Ban said: "There are a lot of reporters outside, I will ask Kong Xi to pick me up in a while, and I won't be here for a few days, otherwise I won't even be able to do my normal work." ”

"When will the movie be released?"

"On Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"That'...... Will you watch it with me?"

Lu Ban was stunned, as if he had said this?
