The box office expectation given by Yu Dong is one billion, and the publicity and distribution cost is 100 million, so Lu Lin is a little unsure whether this person is really optimistic or treat him as a little white. Therefore, instead of expressing his position immediately, he gently tapped the seat handle with his right index finger.

Yu Dong saw Lu Lin's suspicious expression, and he was not excited by the word billion, knowing that this was the kind of calm and self-aware, so he smiled and said: "Well, in fact, my box office estimate for the film is about 800 million, and it won't be too much of a problem to surpass "Tangshan Earthquake". What's more, it's a 3D movie, and I can't watch a film that can reach this level in a few years!"

glanced at Lu Lin and felt that his words were flawed, and said with a smile: "Of course, I mean other directors, Director Lu's next movie is still 3D, right?"

Lu Lin smiled indifferently and said: "Of course, the films I shoot in a few years should be 3D blockbusters with an investment of 100 million!"

It is said that invisible pretending to be the most deadly, Lu Lin always gives people a feeling of being silent and watching coldly. Unexpectedly, with a casual remark, he was able to pretend to be forced to come here, Yu Dong and other Bo Na executives and Li Xiaoping were all shocked and had a feeling of dizziness.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, with an investment of 100 million, why don't you say that the box office starts with 1 billion! But after thinking about it, people who were unknown before could mysteriously get hundreds of millions of investments.

If "The Return of the Great Sage" really has a box office of 1.8 billion, the next film will not be for him to look for investment, but for investors to rush to stuff money. In a word, the market only trusts the successful or those who have had great success.

Yu Dong said with a smile: "Director Lu is so courageous, the next film is going to be filmed, but we have to pull us Bona!"

Lu Lin smiled and said, "It's easy to say, there are good projects to talk about!"

Although Li Xiaoping didn't see the specific film effect of "The Return of the Great Sage", she was convinced by Yu Dong's vision. can start from a distributor of Beijing Film Studio and become the boss of the largest private film company in China, how can he be an idle person.

10 years is the most glorious time for Bona, known as the number of films, the total box office revenue, the first overseas export sales, and the first awards at home and abroad. A few days ago, on December 9, it landed on the NASDAQ, and it was in the limelight for a while.

Since Boss Yu is so optimistic, Guang Xian must also have a foot. "Director Lu, I don't know if there is a plan for the next film, and we can fund it when the time comes!"

Lu Lin thought for a while and said, "Well, I have an idea for the time being, when the script comes out, let's talk about it in detail!"

At present, the key is the box office success of "The Return of the Great Sage", and everyone is also foreshadowing in advance, and the topic has shifted to publicity and scheduling.

On the issue of cost, the initial plan is 80 million, 100 million is declared to the outside world, and the box office will hit 1 billion. The film is known as the first 3D blockbuster in China, and the picture is comparable to "Avatar".

Although there have been 3D movies in China for a long time, the announcement of this kind of thing has always been to find a selling point to blow to death. As long as the audience is deceived into the theater, it will be considered successful, anyway, the service tenet has always been non-refundable, no refund!

For example, the later "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" claimed to win one billion box office, and the ambitious fight with "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" on the same day, but the box office stopped at 600 million.

"The Return of the Great Sage" naturally can't do such stupid things, so it is more important to find a better schedule. At the very least, keep a distance of more than seven days from the kind of film that can sell well.

As a result, as soon as the schedule was turned over, Yu Dong and others were worried. It's now mid-December, "Let the Bullets Fly" is on the 16th, "Zhao's Orphan" is on the 18th, and "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" is the 22nd.

Why are the three blockbusters squeezed these days? Because the original Chinese New Year stalls are extended from mid-to-late December to early January, spanning Christmas and New Year's Day, which is the best time for box office sales.

As for the Spring Festival stalls, it was the world of "Journey to the West", because people used to go around to eat and drink with relatives during the Chinese New Year, and they had not yet developed the habit of watching movies at this time.

Therefore, "New Shaolin Temple" is set for January 19th, which can only be regarded as a general schedule, because February 3rd is the New Year. But it can't do it, and the Lunar New Year stalls are already crowded. But if you want to go to the premise, you will hit the Hollywood 3D blockbuster "The Chronicles of Narnia 3" that landed on January 7.

"Avatar" swept the Lunar New Year file last year, and the scene of slaughtering all kinds of domestic blockbusters is still vividly remembered by many filmmakers. The box office of "October Siege" was 80 million in the first week, and it exceeded 200 million in 12 days, and then there was no more when I met "Avatar".

It can be said that because of "Avatar", most of the domestic films in the 09/10 Chinese New Year file have become cannon fodder and have suffered serious losses.

Today's domestic filmmakers are hearing about the "Hollywood 3D blockbuster", not to mention that "The Chronicles of Narnia 1" has achieved a global box office of 745 million US dollars. Although the second part did not perform well at the global box office, only 4.2 US dollars, I didn't dare to despise the third part!

But Lu Lin knows that the so-called Hollywood 3D blockbuster "The Chronicles of Narnia 3" only has a box office of more than 120 million in the mainland, which is not even comparable to Yangzai's 150 million "Laughing Rivers and Lakes".

However, foreign blockbusters landing in China, whether it is account sharing or batch films, almost all have to go through the hands of China Film. If it is fought on the same day as "The Chronicles of Narnia 3", it will inevitably not give the third master face. So Lu Lin proposed to set the schedule on New Year's Day!

To be honest, the schedules of other blockbusters are coordinated with each other. If Lu Lin's "The Return of the Great Sage" didn't compete with "The Chronicles of Narnia 3" for the box office, there would really be no good place to go for this year's Chinese New Year.

Yu Dong just came back from the United States two days ago, and he also knew that "The Chronicles of Narnia 3" had a poor box office and reputation in North America. But I'm afraid that domestic audiences will respect Hollywood 3D, after all, it is not uncommon for bad movies to sell well. After thinking about it, he said, "It's okay, it's better to stagger the seven-day time!"

Li Xiaoping said: "I heard that "The Chronicles of Narnia 3" opened on Hong Kong Island, and the box office revenue in the first four days of the first weekend reached 9.78 million, which is higher than the first weekend performance of the second part, which is very popular with Hong Kong Island audiences.

Lu Lin laughed: "Mr. Li, the Hong Kong Island box office has no reference significance! If you want me to say, it's New Year's Day! Premieres, screenings, and various media publicity activities can be cooperated! The quality of the film is seen by Mr. Yu, and the bright side can be shown to you and Mr. Wang, so that you can have a number in your hearts." Let's all work together, not to mention surpassing "Avatar", as long as we get the first domestic movie with a box office of more than one billion in our hands, it will also be a bright thing in film history!"

Most of the entrepreneurs are people with ideas and feelings, Yu Dong originally felt a little bit of fooling Lu Lin with the word "billion", and he didn't want to be excited by Lu Lin's words.

He slapped the table and said loudly: "Yes, our Chinese film box office champion is dominated by a foreign film, even if it is overstated! Now that there is not even a domestic film worth more than one billion yuan, as a filmmaker, we should feel that our face is gloomy! Now that we have landed on the NASDAQ, we have sufficient funds, and we should show our achievements to shareholders and investors." The box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" will reach more than one billion no matter what!"
