Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it came to June 12th, and at six o'clock in the evening, countless Xiangjiang reporters were waiting here at the Xiangjiang Lisheng Cinema.

At seven o'clock tonight, the movie Alien cooperated by Jiayi Film Company and American companies will be officially released, not only in Xiangjiang today, but also in Asia, Europe and the United States, a total of more than 20 countries will be released simultaneously today.

It is the first time in the world that a commercial movie has been released simultaneously in so many regions, so this movie has become popular before it is broadcast, and many fans want to see if this movie is worth such treatment.

The main reason why the reporters came to the Lisheng Cinema instead of going to other Jiayi and other cinemas was that the senior management of the Li family and the invited guests would come to the Lisheng Cinema, which was the home of this screening.

Moreover, the tickets for the first show of the Lisheng Cinema today were not sold externally, they were all issued to invitees, as well as star directors and famous screenwriters in the film and television industry, and some newspaper reporters also received free tickets.

Golden Harvest's investment in Hollywood failed the year before last, and last year it finally made a lot of money. But at this point, Golden Harvest has also temporarily given up its plan to open up the American film market, and this year's cooperation between Jiayi Film Company and the United States, they also want to know whether it will repeat the mistakes of Golden Harvest the year before last.

Today, Wu Xianglin, chairman of Jiayi Film Company, came very early, he needed to come to greet the guests, and arrived at the Lisheng Theater just after six o'clock.

Naturally, the reporters would not let go of the opportunity to interview him, and as soon as he got off the bus, many reporters surrounded him.

A reporter from Oriental Daily asked: "Wu Sheng, do you have confidence in the box office of this movie, we all know that this movie claims to be a blockbuster with 15 million US dollars, and such a huge amount of money has never appeared in Xiangjiang Films." ”

Such a huge amount of money is invested in a movie, which makes these reporters in Xiangjiang unimaginable.

Now the highest movie box office is still created by Jiayi Film Company itself, and the true character of the hero was popular in Xiangjiang that year, but it has only just passed the box office of 30 million Hong Kong dollars, which is still Jiayi's dead face dragged for a long time without painting to exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

If this were not the case, I am afraid that Hong Kong would not have a movie with a box office of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars until now. And the investment in this film is nearly 80 million Hong Kong dollars, which is enough for a family in Xiangjiang to become one of the richest people in Xiangjiang.

Wu Xianglin replied: "I believe that this movie will achieve very good results, the director of this movie, I think you must have also understood, Mr. Spielberg is a very good director, he has many famous works before, this alien will not disappoint everyone." And Li Sheng is also quite optimistic about this movie, which is the biggest source of confidence for our senior management. ”

Li Guangyu's vision is temporarily unable for them to question anything, they have questioned some of Li Guangyu's views many times before, but they were all slapped in the face, and now they will not do things that slap themselves in the face. When Li Guangyu makes mistakes in the future, then is the time for them to question.

A reporter from Sing Tao Daily asked: "Wu Sheng, the major groups of the Li consortium are developing markets all over the world, that is, within your Jiayi Group, several other major subsidiaries have also established branches in various places. Only your film company has only been developing in Xiangjiang for a long time, and there is no intention of going out, whether this cooperation with the American film company is the beginning of your film company going out? ”

Although Wu Xianglin felt very uncomfortable listening to the reporter say this, even if he was very aggrieved, he could only endure it, this is not the reporter in front of him who thinks so, many people in Xiangjiang think so.

Even within their group, they think that the film company is just enjoying the care of the Li Group, and has no enterprising spirit at all, and only stagnates in Xiangjiang.

Wu Xianglin himself also wants to follow the example of record companies and cinema companies to open branches in various regions to open up the local market, and even go to Hollywood in the United States to compete with those film companies.

It's just that the top management of the Lee family does not have such an idea, and the task given to the film company is to make every effort to consolidate the Asian film market, and there is no mention of the United States.

If it weren't for the urgency of Golden Harvest last year, maybe there would not have been a joint venture for this movie. As for whether it will be like external expansion, Wu Xianglin himself has no answer in his heart.

At present, the top management of the Li family has not put forward such a plan, and he cannot give this reporter a positive answer here.

Wu Xianglin said: "We at Jiayi Film Company are determined to become a world-class film company, and we will definitely go out of Hong Kong and enter the world market in the future." Especially in the U.S., we're definitely going to develop there in the future. As for the timing, this needs to be arranged according to the group's top management. ”

Wu Xianglin then answered questions from several reporters, and refused to allow these reporters who wanted to continue asking questions on the grounds that they wanted to receive guests.

As time passes, more and more characters arrive, and reporters are busy, there are too many characters they want to interview, and they can only focus on important people for interviews.

And Wrinkle Huai is obviously the object they want to interview, in terms of cooperating with American film companies to make films, Golden Harvest is Jiayi's predecessor, Wrinkle Huai has enough qualifications to speak in this regard.

After Wrinkle Huai arrived, he was immediately surrounded by a large number of reporters.

A reporter asked: "Fu Sheng, what do you think of this movie that Jiayi will release this time?"

As a few years have passed, although Jiahe and Jiayi have had a lot of fights in the movie, Li Guangyu did not intervene in it, nor did he use the strong financial resources of the Li consortium to target him Jiahe, and now the relationship between Jiahe and Jiayi is not as tense as it used to be.

With the closure of Shaw Brothers Film Company, the relationship between several major film companies in Xiangjiang is now much more harmonious, and there is no longer the same competition as before.

"I've heard a little bit about this movie, and I believe it's a very classic movie, and it's going to be a pretty successful collaboration, and Jiayi will get a very good return," Wrinkle said. ”

Wrinkles Huai's answer is obviously not the answer that the reporters want to hear, what they need is contradiction, how can such a harmonious piece of news attract the attention of the citizens.

A reporter said: "Fu Sheng, this time the Li consortium is quite huge, and it will be released simultaneously in more than 20 countries and regions around the world, obviously full of confidence in this, and you have the experience of cooperating with American film companies many times, do you think they will suffer a box office waterloo?"

Wrinkled Huai himself doesn't know what this movie is like, where does he dare to make such a definition at this time, in case there is a situation contrary to what he said, it will be a slap in the face.

Since both the Lee consortium and Universal Pictures have launched large-scale promotion, the box office must be very high in the first two days, and then it will depend on the quality of the movie, and if the quality is not good, it is quite normal for the box office to have a waterloo.

Wrinkle Huai said: "I believe in Li Sheng's vision, and I also believe in Spielberg's ability to direct, as for how this movie will box office, let's wait and see." ”

After Wrinkle Huai finished speaking, he didn't give the reporter a chance to ask questions, and walked into the Lisheng Theater.
