Chapter 227: Journey to the West IP Fever

Beijing World Trade Hotel, a grand celebration is being held, almost all the leading people in the entertainment industry are here, and no one wants to miss the opportunity to witness this breaking history!

As a large cake with a billion words made of various fruits on it was cut, the celebration officially began.

This giant cake, which is one meter three high, three meters long, two meters wide and weighs thousands of kilograms, was ordered by Li Mu from a brand-name cake shop for more than 100,000 yuan, and it cost a lot of money just to transport it.

Li Mu and Yu Dong, as well as the main creators of the movie, stood around the cake, and moved at the same time under the host's voice, dismembering the cake with the same huge knife.

After that, the waiter of the hotel cut the cake into small pieces and distributed it to the reporters and guests at the scene.

Although the hotel lobby was already crowded with people at this time, thousands of kilograms of cake were enough to ensure that everyone could get a share.

Next, with VCR, the host explained to everyone the hardships in the filming process, and some interesting things that have happened, of course, Xu Zheng's cooperation is indispensable, and the reporter also asked questions together.

And what Feng Xiaogang said to reporters before was naturally raised.

For a while, Xu Zheng didn't know how to respond, if he scolded back, he would show that he didn't respect his predecessors, and he was too modest and seemed to have no confidence.

And Wang Zhongjun, who was invited to the celebration banquet, also had a gloomy face when he heard the reporter's words.

Although Feng Xiaogang has the nickname of Feng Cannon, he doesn't spray people when he sees them, let alone "Thai Embarrassment", which has just won a billion box office.

The reason why he said that in front of the media was actually for Wang Zhongjun to see, from the release of "Thai Embarrassment" to the present, Wang Zhongjun has openly and secretly mentioned many times that Feng Xiaogang should also make a series of embarrassing movies, but Feng Xiaogang refused.

Especially when the box office of "Thai Embarrassment" was approaching one billion, Wang Zhongjun was simply iron-hearted, and Feng Xiaogang really had no choice but to say such a thing in front of the media.

Now you can't just despise people in front of you and turn your head to imitate it!

Even in the entertainment industry where imitation has become a trend, there are definitely not many people who can have this cheekiness, and Wang Zhongjun is also not so thick-skinned.

Unconsciously, there was a gap between Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang, the old partners.

Just when Xu Zheng didn't know what to do, Li Mu picked up a microphone and went on stage.

"Director Feng has always been a director I admire, but what he said today is really disappointing, I don't need to tell the story of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour, everyone should have it in primary school textbooks. ”

As soon as Li Mu finished saying this, some people in the audience couldn't help laughing, and this Li Mu scolded people and turned a corner.

Without mentioning their reactions, Li Mu continued, "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, since Director Feng has never seen the movie "Thai Embarrassment", how can he conclude that this is a movie with a funny plot! A great man once said that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, presumably Director Feng has never heard of this sentence, otherwise he wouldn't have said so! As for the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake", I don't want to say more, anyone can brag, everything should wait for the results to come out!"

Li Mu simply responded to what Feng Xiaogang said, and the next question was much more harmonious.

After all, this is a celebration party, and reporters with a little brain will not make trouble, and "Thai Embarrassment" is not a simple success, and in this era, the number of one billion is enough to shut up anyone!

The Q&A on stage continued, while Li Mu was chatting with Yu Dong and Wang Zhongjun, the bosses of several film companies.

"Congratulations to Mr. Li, not only did "Thai Embarrassment" break the box office record, but now your "The Return of the Great Sage" has also exceeded 600 million!"

"It looks like this is another billion-level movie!"

"Not only that, the two movies sandwiched "Avatar" in the middle, and now the single-day box office of "Avatar" is only more than 10 million!"

As soon as several bosses opened their mouths, they kept touting, although what they said was the truth, Li Mu was still a little embarrassed.

"It's all thanks to you, and now that the mainland film market is getting bigger and bigger, there will definitely be more movies that will exceed one billion in the future!" Li Mu said again and again.

Now "The Return of the Great Sage" has been released for thirteen days, the box office has reached 630 million, and the film schedule once exceeded 40 percent, although the seven-day long holiday has passed for a few days, but the box office has been stable at more than 30 million every day since the eighth day of the new year, and it is estimated that the box office will exceed one billion in two weeks.

It is also rare for "Thai Embarrassment" to win four or five million box office by relying on less than 10% of the film schedule every day, and according to this trend, it is estimated that there will be tens of millions by the time the next painting is made.

And "Avatar" is worthy of being a rare super masterpiece in ten years, after so long of negative operation, and now the reputation on the Internet is also very poor, but the box office has exceeded 800 million in the 23 days since it was released, and the box office is around 15 million every day.

In this case, it is not certain who will break one billion first in the two movies "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Avatar".

Li Mu accompanied several bosses to chat there, and slowly they also had their own entertainment, and it didn't take long to save him and Yu Dong.

"Mr. Li, you have dug up a gold mine this time!" Yu Dong sighed!

Li Mu smiled, "Even if it's a gold mine, don't you have a share of Yu Dong!"

Yu Dong shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about "Thai Embarrassment"!"

It's not "Thai Embarrassment"? That's "The Return of the Great Sage"!

Yu Dong continued, ""Thai Embarrassment" is just that, although as long as Xu Zheng is there in the sequel, the box office will not be bad, but this has nothing to do with others, but "The Return of the Great Sage" has completely activated the big IP of "Journey to the West"!

Li Mu was slightly stunned, he has been on roadshows and participating in various activities all over the country recently, but he has not paid attention to these.

"Then won't there be a lot of movies with the theme of Journey to the West next year, in this way, the audience agrees with aesthetic fatigue, and Hong Kong films died like this back then!" Li Mu said with a frown.

Hearing Li Mu's worries, Yu Dong waved his hand and said, "It's not that we don't understand the truth of fishing with all our might, not to mention that the investment in mythological films is not small, even I don't dare to invest alone, let alone those small companies, and they are not sure if the success of "The Return of the Great Sage" is accidental, they are still waiting for a while, and it is estimated that they will not let go of their courage to do it until the second part succeeds again!"
