Chapter 521: Shocked by all sides

The next day, the headlines on the front page of many domestic entertainment media broke out: Lu Lin is full of confidence in Wu Jing's new film, and it is expected that "Wolf Warrior 2" will exceed 4 billion!

In terms of details, it talks about several special effects blockbusters of Longlin Pictures, the mainland box office of "The Wandering Earth" reached 4.7 billion, and "Lich War" is also expected to break through 40, if "Wolf Warrior 2" exceeds 4 billion, there is no way to live for other movies in the entire 17-year summer file!

And the bosses of other film companies, either watching the news themselves, or the assistants reminded, have seen the relevant articles.

"Yes, this master really treats the summer file as his own home, and he doesn't plan to give food to others!" In a studio in the CBD of the capital, Director Feng, who had not made a new work for a long time, was painting on the drawing board, and after seeing the news about Lu Lin, he was in no mood at all.

Wang Zhongjun, who was also in the studio, also saw the news, and couldn't help frowning, Huayi's performance in the past two years was okay, but the movie was relatively weak. mainly relies on participation or agency distribution, such as "Journey to the West" and "Wrestling, Dad", two films with good box office, which are controlled by other companies.

Huayi's key production and distribution, Director Feng's "Fanghua", has been set for the National Day, mainly because it is really not selected.

This summer, three blockbusters from Longlin Pictures were released one after another, and in September, there were two Hollywood blockbusters, "Dunkirk" and "Spider-Man: Homecoming". At the end of the year, the Chinese New Year stalls are even more crowded, and the competition is fierce. Huayi Company can only put the schedule on the National Day and fight with a group of low-cost domestic films.

It is said that Director Feng used to be known as the king of commercial films in the mainland, but now he is reduced to the New Year stalls and does not dare to go to the New Year, and his heart is also very sour.

He himself is a little confident, the key is that the company's performance is too stressful. This year's main blockbuster is "Fanghua", if it is destroyed, even if there are two films "Journey to the West" and "Wrestling, Dad" to support the scene, this face is not light!

Wang Zhongjun thought of this, and couldn't help sighing: "This Longlin Pictures is a bit excessive, do you think he is a monopoly?"

Director Feng laughed dryly, "It's hard to say that Lang doesn't have a monopoly, but it's true that this person is too confident, the three films are all over 4 billion, why doesn't he say fifty or sixty, when the Chinese film market, it's his family?"

Wang Zhongjun was a little smacked, as the former CEO of the industry's No. 1 company, there are still some losses, but fortunately, Huayi has no works this summer. Not to mention that all three are over 4 billion, even if they are all over 5 billion, they don't have too direct impact.

sighed and said: "Hey, the future is terrible, the future is terrible, these things, let others worry!"

Guangxian Media Company, Wang Changtian saw the news, and his first reaction was to smile, but he knew that he couldn't envy it. First, the company has never had a director who is good at special effects blockbusters, and even if he does, he doesn't dare to take that risk!

Da Lao Wang has been in the industry for many years, has always been cautious in investment, and is good at small and large. Youth films, romance films, and comedies are the highlight of the glamorous show. There is only one "Thirty-Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" this summer, starring Liu Yifei, who is known as a fairy, and Yang Zheng, a new popular student, who has the popularity of the original book and TV series, and he believes that he can make a fortune as usual.

In terms of schedule, "Three Lives and Three Worlds" is scheduled for August 3, which is a week short of "Wolf Warrior 2", which is scheduled for July 27, but even if the latter becomes popular, it will not have much impact.

Just looking at some posts on the Internet analyzing the overseas box office of Longlin Pictures, I was inexplicably a little envious. Low-cost youth, comedy and romance films, glamorous are familiar with playing, and they can basically make a profit, but there is a fatal shortcoming, that is, the overseas box office is basically zero, which makes Wang Changtian entangled and melancholy!

If you want to say that the news of "Wolf Warrior 2" is the most concerned about the filmmakers of "The Great Cause of the Army". This movie is jointly produced by China Film, Bona, Bayi, and Huanya, as a tribute film, there are not many choices in terms of schedule, and it is impossible to schedule it after August 1. And a week ago, there was "Wolf Warrior 2".

Longlin's version of "Wolf Warrior 2" is not as unknown as another time and space, and the box office result of the previous work of 2.8 billion is also unattainable by many films in 17 years. "Wolf Warrior 2" is said to be bigger and more burning, and it is very likely to surpass its predecessor.

And this embarrassed the filmmakers of "The Great Cause of the Army", no one wants to be released on the same day as a blockbuster with a box office that is expected to exceed 3 billion, even Longlin Pictures is unwilling.

For this reason, the current chairman of China Film, La, and Yu Dong, the boss of Bona, also specially met with Lu Lin to discuss and coordinate the next schedule.

Lu Lin also expects "Wolf Warrior 2" to reach the record of another time and space, how can the original release date be changed. It's just that the energy of China Film is not small, Yu Dong of Bo Na has a good relationship with him, Lu Lin can only "save the country by curve", first of all, the expansion of the mainland film market now, even if two blockbusters are released on the same day, it is not a problem.

Moreover, it is proposed that "The Great Cause of the Army" be released later or earlier, you are afraid of competition, there is no reason for me to hide!

China Film, Bona, and Huan Yan discussed it, but they didn't have a good idea, and they complained that Lu Lin was unreasonable. The final date is set for the 28th, one day later than "Wolf Warrior 2".

Originally, this matter came to an end temporarily, at the press conference of the clinker "Wolf Warrior 2", Lu Lin actually claimed that the new film could exceed 4 billion, is this to scare anyone?

Early in the morning, the chairman of China Film Lama Pei initiated a video conference with Bona, Huanya, Bayi and other companies, which was attended by not only the executives of various companies, but also the director Liu Weiqiao. just talked about it, but didn't talk about a result, and finally asked Yu Dong to call Lu Lin to understand the situation.

"I said Brother Lu Lin, what's the situation over there?" Yu Dong dialed the phone and asked with a smile.

Lu Lin paused for a moment, and then immediately understood, "Oh, you said that "Wolf Warrior 2" is at the box office, right? I just casually predicted that when any movie is going to be released, the media will ask this question!"

"That's right, the question is that your answer is too scary, four billion, how much do you want to collect this summer file? I look at you, you're about to become a public enemy in the industry!"

Lu Lin said in his heart: "Not much, no more, I will be satisfied with one hundred and forty or five billion!" but said: "Hey, how easy is it, do you really believe it?"

Unexpectedly, Yu Dong said very seriously: "What some people say is true, but I can see that he is bragging." Only you, kid, say it like nonsense, but it turns out to be true!"

Lu Lin couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and said: "Brother Yu is too popular, so I'll just tell you the truth, I don't think the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" will be bad." The box office of "The Great Cause of the Army" will be affected to a certain extent, but it mainly depends on the film's own reputation. The pre-screening publicity will be in charge for three days, and how high the box office can go in the future depends on word of mouth!"

Yu Dong said in his heart, word of mouth, you can still do 5 billion!
