Chapter 425: Everything is built on the quality of the movie
At eight o'clock in the evening, Li Mu, Yu Dong and Wang Changtian had dinner in a hotel box.
Originally, Li Mu also made an appointment with Chen Tianqiao and Ma Huateng, but neither of them had something to do.
They are all billionaires worth billions of dollars, and their tens of thousands of employees must be busy every day, and Li Mu doesn't care.
Chen Tianqiao's non-coming is not because he is busy, but he is trying his best to appease the authors of the website, and he can't get out.
Since some film and television companies have contacted some of the authors privately, they have raised the issue of adaptation to the editor-in-chief, but they have all been rejected without exception.
Authors have their own circles, and when they found out that most of their requests to sell their rights were denied, they immediately blew up.
Some people at the extreme even thought that the website wanted to monopolize the copyright fee, which dragged them down.
So everyone went to the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief to understand, and some authors who lived in the capital even went directly to the location of Singularity.
There was no way, Chen Tianqiao could only ask his editors and those authors to explain clearly that he didn't want to cheat their money, but the price had not yet risen to the ideal price, and he could sell it at a better price after the painting of "Looking for the Dragon".
And some people who don't listen to anything can only go out in person, otherwise they will have to go to court to sue, which involves millions of money.
Chen Tianqiao is busy with business, Ma Huateng is not idle, the company's wireless department is reorganized, a big mess is there, and his own movies are now being pressed under him, so he is a little unhappy and finds an excuse not to go.
......
In the hotel box, Li Mu and the three of them tasted the authentic traditional hot pot in Beijing, and there was no one to eat hot pot in the hot world in August.
Although the traditional Beijing hot pot is clear water, shabu cut beef and mutton, mainly in the sesame sauce dipping sauce, with the original flavor as the mainstay, a little lighter than the hot pot in western Sichuan and Chongqing.
But I can't stand the heat, it's 32 degrees outside, and even if the air conditioner is turned on inside, it's more than 30 degrees when sitting by the pot.
The three of them were eating and drinking enthusiastically, chatting about something from time to time and looking very happy, which matched this scene very well.
Li Mu loves to eat mutton, a plate of mutton that was cut thin like cicada wings was wiped out by him alone, with sesame sauce as the mainstay, supplemented by bean curd cubes, leek flowers, and then seasoned with salt and sugar, and finally added coriander and green onion dipping sauce that is a must.
After swallowing the last slice of mutton, Li Mu called the waiter to serve two more plates.
Taking advantage of the serving, Li Mu drank saliva and said, "It's been a long time since I've had such a big meal, and it's a real pleasure to call a few relatives and friends to eat hot pot together!"
Yu Dong swallowed the baby cabbage in his mouth and said with a smile, "You kid is still so interested, call us to eat hot pot at this time!"
Wang Changtian looked at the beef and mutton in the pot, shook his head and sighed, "Now that I'm old, I have eaten less of these things!"
Li Mu was not idle, picked up another piece of beef, and swallowed it in one bite, "So I'm going to eat a little more now while I'm young, and I won't have to eat it when I'm old and my body can't do it anymore, haha!"
Yu Dong wiped his hands with a hot towel, picked up the one next to him and put it away and looked at it, "Now the box office of "Looking for the Dragon" is almost 200 million, and the outside world is arguing, you are good to eat and drink here!"
"It's 200 million!" Wang Changtian next to him put down his chopsticks and picked up his mobile phone when he heard this, "I'll take a look!"
"One point 800 million, the difference is 20 million is 200 million, it just rose by 20 million in that hour, and today it may be 240 million!"
Looking at this number, Wang Changtian couldn't help but sigh a little, the single-day box office record created by "Hong Kong" invested by Guangxian before was about to be broken, and it hadn't been a year yet.
Yu Dong shook his head, "2400000000 is impossible, the film schedule is there, it is estimated that it will be 220000000 at most!"
Wang Changtian said, "What do you say?"
Yu Dong said, "My company's theater chain sent a message that more than half of the dozens of movie theaters across the country have been pre-sold tonight, the IMAX screening hall is out of tickets, and the tickets for other middle seats are also sold out, which is about the same as other theaters!"
Wang Changtian nodded, if this is the case, the box office growth in the next few hours will definitely not be as fast as before.
"It's a pity!"
Listening to their conversation, Li Mu smiled, "This is not a bad thing, at least the attendance rate and average number of people per game have gone up, and tomorrow's film schedule will not decrease!"
There is a Hollywood blockbuster to be released tomorrow, although "The Hunger Games" basically has no popularity in China, but it can have a dozen or twenty percent of the film schedule just for the name of a Hollywood movie.
Now "Looking for the Dragon" is higher than other movies in terms of box office and attendance, and these dozen points of film scheduling will definitely not be cut from "Looking for the Dragon".
It's nothing to lose a little box office now, anyway, 200 million is a kiss, and the next seven days must ensure a stable trend, and strive to make a little more box office before the release of the big boat.
After destroying another plate of mutton, Li Mu raised his head, "The most important thing now is "Titanic 3D" released on the 10th, and whether it can resist its impact is the most important!"
The two nodded, more than ten years have passed, Ofune has accumulated enough fans, although most people have seen this movie, but some young people have not seen it on the big screen, let alone this time it is a 3D version.
Yu Dong thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "You didn't plan to do anything this time?"
"What to do?" Li Mu was slightly stunned, not knowing what Yu Dong was referring to.
"How are you going to deal with Titanic, or like Avatar?" Yu Dong continued.
After listening to Yu Dong's words, Li Mu smiled bitterly, I am a person who specializes in conspiracy and tricks!
Besides, there are no black spots in the movie itself, at least not the kind of black spots that can cause everyone's disgust.
And the audience knows the plot of the movie well, so it's useless for you to make up flowers.
If I had to say anything, it was only after the sinking of the big ship that the salvage crews brought back the bodies of the first- and second-class passengers, while the bodies of the third-class cabin and the crew were all discarded in the sea.
However, these are not shown in the movie, even if you talk about this, the audience will sigh at most that it is good to have money, and the treatment of spending a lot of money on service is naturally different, and the treatment after death is not the same!
"These means are all based on the quality of the movie itself, now that the box office situation of "Looking for the Dragon" is so good, let's not worry, "Avatar" was hacked so miserably, didn't it still have a billion box office, "Guan Yunchang" hit the street is also a problem of the movie itself, Donnie Yen is just an introduction, I believe it can resist the impact of the big boat!"
Li Mu's confident words reassured the two of them, and they also relaxed and concentrated on tasting the food.
