"It's almost three billion!" Lu Lin didn't talk about special effects, and directly said the box office expectations. Because the special effects of "Mermaid" are indeed average.

Li Mi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Three billion? Director Lu is so optimistic about this movie, can you explain the reason?"

"Of course, it's Mr. Zhou Xingxing's huge box office appeal, of course, box office prediction is just a feeling, but I've always believed in this feeling!" Lu Lin leaned on the chair and laughed.

Seeing this, Li Mi knew that Lu Lin didn't want to talk about it, but these were enough. Later, I will go back and sort out the report and send it out, saying that Lu Lin went to watch "Mermaid" with Jing Yan, and thought that the box office could reach 3 billion, which was definitely on the entertainment headlines and hot search headlines!

I'm afraid that even Zhou Xingxing can't believe that his movies can sell for 3 billion, otherwise they will not be handed over to Hehe Pictures and Guangxian Media for guaranteed distribution at a price of 16 to 1.8 billion.

"Thank you, Director Lu, then you guys are busy first, and I'll go back to the unit first. Another day, I must appreciate the light, so that I can invite you two to a meal and express my gratitude!" Seeing that Lu Lin looked at his watch and had the intention of getting up, Li Mi hurriedly took the initiative to leave.

Lu Lin got up and shook hands with her, "You're welcome, we're old friends who have worked together many times!"

Li Mi chuckled: "But if you say a few words, it's a big piece of news, and when I go back, my colleagues know it, and I don't know how to envy me!"

"You're so polite!"

After saying goodbye to each other, Jing Yan asked Lu Lin with some surprise: "Three billion, are you really so optimistic about this movie?"

Lu Lin nodded slightly, "Well, about three billion, there should be!"

The young lady rolled her eyes, and suddenly said, "Then how much box office do you think my "Great Wall" can have?"

Lu Lin smiled, and suddenly said, "Hey, where did we just say we were going to play?"

The young lady grabbed Lu Lin, who was about to leave the tea room, and said with a flat mouth: "No, don't be sloppy, you must say it!"

"It's hard to say, I haven't seen the finished film!"

Jing Yan thought about it, scratched his head with his right hand and smiled embarrassedly.

The two went out of the tea room to the mall to go shopping, and returned to the villa very late. At this time, swiping the mobile phone again, the official Weibo of "China Film Report" released a dynamic, that is, the program team met Lu Lin and Jing Yan who came out of watching "Mermaid" at the Youtang International Store of Bona Cinema, and interviewed the two of them for their viewing impressions, Lu Lin praised "Mermaid" for being very good-looking, and the box office is expected to exceed 3 billion.

Weibo has attracted countless retweets and comments, with more people agreeing and fewer scolding.

During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Monkey in 2016, it was the most popular period of the "Chapter Monkey King", and it was also the most popular moment for Zhou Xingxing in the mainland.

Especially before and after the release of "The Mermaid", articles such as "I owe Xing Ye a movie ticket", "Xiang Tai and Stephen Chow scolded each other", "Why do so many people hack Zhou Xingxing" and other articles are very marketable, and there are more mainland netizens who support Zhou Xingxing.

But since the release of "The Mermaid", Xingye's reputation has declined a bit. If a good work can be produced at this time, it can actually be stabilized. But he cooperated with Xu Ke in a "Journey to the West", and once again lost his reputation. As a result, "The New King of Comedy" has not yet been released, and it is not very optimistic about the audience.

Therefore, for directors and actors, word of mouth is still a very important thing, and it is very rare for Lu Lin to help Zhou Xingxing stand on the platform.

At noon the next day, Lu Lin, who was staying at home, received a call from Zhou Xingxing, and the other party said in a slightly accented Gang: "Thank you, Director Lu Lin, I don't dare to think about three billion, you are so optimistic!"

"Anyway, I grew up watching your movies, and I owe you a ticket!"

Zhou Xingxing said with a smile: "But your words, if you don't say it, you will have a box office of 100 million, but I owe you, and I will definitely pay you back if I have the chance!"

Lu Lin's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Why don't you come to make a cameo appearance in my movie, even if you only show your face!"

Zhou Xingxing hurriedly said: "It's not good, it's not good, I'm already so old, I'm most afraid of going to the camera and asking people to say something pitiful to me!"

Lu Lin laughed and said: "You don't even make a cameo appearance in your own movie, it won't be because you don't think you're handsome now!"

Xing Ye said: "That's right, you look at me in the past, like when I was filming "Journey to the West", I was really good, but now it's really not good!"

Lu Lin thought of the scene of the Supreme Treasure with a wicked smile in "Journey to the West" for a moment, and the old face and white hair on the other end of the phone, and he couldn't help but sigh.

After a pause, he said: "My new film "White Snake: Origin" will start shooting in the next year, if you are interested, you can come over and make a cameo!"

Zhou Xingxing hesitated for a moment and said, "I really don't like standing in front of the camera now, but I don't care what others say." You can release a message over there, saying that I plan to make a cameo appearance, and I will cooperate here!"

Lu Lin understood what he meant, and politely refused, "White Snake: Origin" can be hyped up with Zhou Xingxing's fame, and "Yangtze River No. 7" appeared on the big screen for the first time after "Yangtze River No. 7", this gimmick will bring great attention to the film.

I believe that when Zhou Xingxing encounters a media interview, he will also vaguely say something that he appreciates Director Lu, wants to cooperate, and is optimistic about the "White Snake", in short, it is a routine.

So he smiled and said, "Cheng, then I'll thank you first!"

After thinking about it, he said: "Actually, I think the two of us can really make cameos for each other in each other's movies, just like you and Brother Cheng Long back then!"

At the end of the 90s of the last century, Hong Kong films were in a dilemma, and in order to encourage each other, Zhou Xingxing and Cheng Long probably also wanted to use more gimmicks in publicity, and made cameos in each other's movies.

Among them, Brother Cheng Long made a cameo appearance as a dragon actor in "The King of Comedy", performing a dead corpse, and his reaction to being shot and falling to the ground was praised by the director.

And Zhou Xingxing made a cameo appearance as a dick policeman in "Glass Bottle", leading a police dog to appear. I heard that someone was fighting, so I asked the police dog to smell the baseball bat left at the scene, and then the police dog rushed out in an instant, Zhou Xingxing was dragging on the ground, and his head hit the steps, the picture is very funny.

Hearing Lu Lin mention this, Zhou Xingxing hesitated for a moment before saying: "This proposal is really exciting to me, but I haven't appeared in front of the big screen for many years, let me think about it again!"

Lu Lin smiled and said okay, in fact, he invited Zhou Xingxing to make a cameo, not for the purpose of commercial hype. It's a pity that the king of comedy has been hidden behind the scenes since then and no longer appears in front of the big screen!

After hanging up the phone, Jing Yan on the side glared at the boss and exclaimed: "He hasn't been on the big screen for seven or eight years, right?

Lu Lin smiled, "Who knows, but his arrival is also the icing on the cake, the key is that we have to play the scene well!"
