Under the attention of all media people, the global box office of "Terminator: Reincarnation" has finally been calculated.

$1.6 billion!

It is not much different from the original "Shaolin Temple", but it is still more than 30 million US dollars short of "The Battle of Alassa", which ranks first at the global box office, and is a little less than "Shaolin Temple".

But this disappointment is only a momentary thing, more is excitement, even if it fails to get the first place at the world box office, but Guo Dalu has a movie with a box office of 10 billion yuan, which is already a huge surprise.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon to see movies with a box office of one billion, not to mention Guo Dalu, it is a few domestic directors, and the movies they direct, sometimes if they are well-made, they can exceed the data of more than one billion.

However, the box office of 10 billion yuan is still an unattainable data for today's domestic directors, except for Guo Dalu, there is no second director's work that can reach this height.

"If you can't get the first place, you can't get it, anyway, it's a matter of time, just look at that movie!"

With such a big box office, it is reasonable to have a celebration banquet, all the actors and crew in the Terminator gathered together, and in a hall of Tianxi Building, Guo Dalu asked Ma Cheng to make a luxurious buffet and invited the crew to have a big meal.

Originally, Guo Dalu didn't want to say anything more, but at the invitation of Ma Cheng, Guo Dalu reluctantly stood on the podium: "I'm going to make ten movies with more than 10 billion yuan first, if we can't win the first place in one of our works, then we will win by quantity." ”

There was a commotion in the audience.

Now everyone has a full understanding of Guo Dalu's strength, but Guo Dalu's opening is "ten movies with more than 10 billion", which still surprises everyone.

In the eyes of many people, the box office of a movie can exceed the 10 billion mark, the quality of the movie itself is one thing, the time period of release is also the same thing, and it is another thing in advertising. Even many people believe that a movie can exceed 10 billion, of which luck accounts for a large proportion.

No one is sure that the movies they shoot will definitely exceed 10 billion, in fact, let alone 10 billion, even with a box office of hundreds of millions of yuan, most international directors cannot guarantee it.

In the film industry, there are many examples of dismal investment at the box office, many film directors are full of confidence when shooting, and when the movie is released, they are even more arrogant, saying that "it will definitely break through more than a billion", but the ideal is plump, but the reality is very skinny, not to mention that the box office of more than one billion has not been reached, even one hundred million cannot be reached, the wonderful pictures that have been promoted before, the shooting tidbits, and the reports on how hard the actors are filming are all to attract the attention of the public and let more people pay attention to their movie.

But the shooting quality of the movie itself is there, and the audience is not all fools, no matter how awesome the blow is, it will be exposed when it comes to screening, and the reputation will be poor, and the audience will naturally decrease. This thing is not wishful thinking, you think your work can exceed a billion dollars at the box office, but in the eyes of the audience, ten dollars is not worth it.

In the film industry, there are often such directors who are not self-sufficient, who are very determined and invest a lot, thinking that the bigger the investment, the richer the return, but in the end, the investor lost all his fortune and even lost his underwear.

So some directors guarantee how much the box office can reach or something, that is for laymen, except for a few well-known directors, the rest of the small directors are not sure about the box office.

Now Guo Dalu's opening is "ten tens of billions of movies", no wonder everyone in the hall is surprised, but think about it carefully, there is really this possibility, since Guo Dalu's debut, it has been six or seven years, during this period, he has at least three movies with a box office of more than 10 billion, "Shaolin Temple", "Roman Holiday" and today's "Terminator: Reincarnation", which are all big movies with a box office of more than 10 billion, and "Resident Evil" Although the series of movies failed to exceed 10 billion, they also reached the level of 7 or 8 billion yuan, and in terms of box office appeal and Guo Dalu's own directing ability, it seems that it is not too difficult to make several movies with a box office of more than 10 billion.

"In the future, we will try our best to use newcomers, so that newcomers also have the opportunity to get ahead, and try to tilt resources to newcomers, and we can't always pile up resources on a limited number of celebrities. ”

Guo Dalu saw that everyone was surprised, and said with a smile: "Our company now has a lot of fellow directors, when you are directing a movie, give newcomers a little more chance, don't always think about letting celebrities and big names guarantee the box office." Our company wants powerful actors, only by becoming qualified actors first, can they be qualified to become stars, no strength, no works, we will not praise such people, lest they go out and be embarrassed. ”

Huang Botao is also a well-known director in China now, and when he heard this, he said: "Guo Ye, you can't treat us all as you! Besides, when you first filmed your first movie "East Becomes West", weren't you also full of big names?

When Guo Dalu filmed "East Becomes West", Shen Mingcheng and other big names all supported it, so they were accompanied by Guo Dalu to play, at that time they even had very little salary, a total of only about ten days, no one would think that this movie could sell money, but such a film that was filmed for more than ten days "East Becomes West", but it broke the box office record in China, broke through one billion at once, and became a dark horse at that time, Guo Dalu also became famous in one fell swoop, and began his unrivaled directorial career in the film circle.

Now that Huang Botao suddenly mentioned this matter, it can be seen that some directors are not convinced by Guo Dalu's previous shooting views, because Guo Dalu also started with a movie full of big names, and now Guo Dalu has become famous himself, and he has begun to deny this practice, so everyone is a little unconvinced.

Guo Dalu thought about it, although he wants to take care of newcomers when making movies now, but his care is based on the premise that he is already an international director, so that these newcomers in the entertainment industry can come forward, and his approach is very unconvincing.

If Guo Dalu didn't look for celebrities when he made the movie, but ordinary actors, it would be convincing, and now Guo Dalu is a bit dismissive when he says so.

"That, that's what I said, but at the beginning, after I drove those little fresh meat away, in order to give an explanation to the tiger, I temporarily formed an actor team, at that time I only knew Shen Mingcheng, and asked him to find an actor for me, and I didn't expect that there would be so many stars to give face. ”

Guo Dalu thought for a while and said to everyone: "Do you recognize what I said?"

Huang Botao nodded vigorously: "Guo Ye, I approve of everything else in you, but I don't agree much with inviting actors for filming! I personally think that in order to ensure the box office of the movie, it is understandable to find stars to participate, and if a little-known director wants to present his works to the audience, finding stars to participate in his own works is the best way to show it." ”

Huang Botao and Guo Dalu have been friends for many years, he said that this is not actually his own thoughts, but the opinion of most directors, Guo Dalu does not have a backache when he stands and speaks, the truth he just said is good, but the actual operation is a bit unrealistic.

"Damn, it seems that I'm a little out of reality!"

Guo Dalu had already reacted to what was going on after a while, and smiled at everyone: "Okay, I'll take back my previous words, so let's do it, a well-known director can take proper care of newcomers, new directors, and it is okay to invite celebrities to participate in their own works, but don't forget the story itself just for the sake of star traffic." ”
