Chapter 320: Celebrating
On January 16, 2011, "Zhao Zilong" has been released for a whole month, since the mainland box office exceeded 1.5 billion, the box office has gradually weakened, plus the release of two Hollywood blockbusters, this more than a week only won less than 20 million box office, plus the new overseas box office of 13 million, the total box office is fixed at 850 million.
Seeing that the box office was no longer growing, Li Mu held a celebration banquet in a nearby hotel, and the insiders were basically all there, even the Tengxun Films, which poached Peng Yuyan from Li Mu, came, and it was Twist Pain who came in person.
To be honest, Li Mu didn't expect that Twist Pain would come to the banquet in person, and he was a little flattered for a while, but he was relieved to think that he was now worth billions.
Shaking his head, it seems that he hasn't recognized his position yet, in terms of wealth alone, he may not even be ranked among the top 100 in China, but he is so young, he can earn more than a billion yuan in a movie, and the speed of making money is enough to make people look sideways.
Packing up his thoughts, Li Mu walked to the door to greet the twist pain.
"Hello Mr. Li, I have admired my name for a long time, and today I can see a real person!"
"Hello Ma Dong, welcome, I didn't expect Ma Dong to take time out to participate in my little celebration!" Li Mu also stretched out his hand and smiled.
This is the first time Li Mu has seen twist pain, which is similar to on TV and online videos, and he looks more elegant when he wears glasses.
I thought that Li Mu played "Dropped City and Weak Warriors" back then, but he cursed him in his heart!
In fact, most of the boys in the country don't scold the twist pain.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Li Mu caught a glimpse of Peng Yuyan who was following behind, and he was still hiding behind and didn't dare to come out.
Seeing him like this, Li Mu suddenly didn't feel so angry, just thinking about what he said to reporters before, an actor's job hopping is similar to a football transfer, and there is nothing to say about betrayal or non-betrayal, but after letting go of the knot in his heart, everyone is a stranger.
Peng Yuyan lowered his head after following the general manager of Tengxun Pictures, and didn't dare to look at Li Mu, and suddenly felt a gaze staring at him, and couldn't help but raise his head, seeing that it was indeed Li Mu's indifferent gaze that stayed on him for a second and then continued to talk to Twist Pain.
Peng Yuyan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything!
After chatting about the movie "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", Li Mu asked Xu Min, who was following him, to take a few of them in, and he continued to greet the distinguished guests later!
More than half an hour later, all the invited guests arrived, and the reporters also arrived almost as well, and the celebration banquet officially began.
As the box office of the film exceeded 1.5 billion, the global box office reached an unprecedented 850 million, and it was sold in various countries around the world, which also injected a shot in the arm for the rapid development of the domestic response.
Not only that, but even the deputy director of the Film Department in charge of radio and television was present in person.
Although the deputy director left after the ribbon cutting, this can also let everyone see Li Mu's status in the entertainment industry.
After the ceremonies such as ribbon cutting and cake cutting are completed, it's time for interviews.
The reporters who couldn't wait for a long time opened their mouths one after another, throwing out the questions they had prepared one by one.
The huge lobby, which was already crowded with hundreds of reporters and photographers, was even more chaotic.
However, Li Mu didn't speak when he saw the scene being so chaotic, just looked at them quietly.
It wasn't until five minutes later that they found that Li Mu didn't react, and they also consciously quieted down, but the eyes that looked at Li Mu seemed to be glowing, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Seeing that the scene was quiet, Li Mu nodded in his heart, no matter what kind of press conference other people hold in foreign countries, they must have a press officer to maintain order, and it is like they don't need anything, and the reporters are obedient.
"Lady first, please ask this beauty to ask questions first!"
Li Mu ordered a female reporter holding a penguin logo microphone, this is not because of how beautiful she is, this doesn't hurt here, if Li Hongyan is here, let the Baidu reporter ask first.
The female reporter who was ordered was first overjoyed, then looked at her colleagues left and right with her head held high, with disdain in her eyes, and then asked the questions she had carefully prepared.
"Hello Director Li, the movie "Zhao Zilong" broke the box office record of Chinese films in hundreds of countries around the world, and it was also the first time that a Chinese film ranked fifth in the global box office list, which was not done by directors such as Zhang Yimou, John Woo, and Li An, do you have any thoughts?"
On the question of decency, Li Mu said with a smile, "I am very happy that "Zhao Zilong" can achieve the current results, this is not only my success, but also the success of Huaxia films, from now on we can proudly announce to the world that Huaxia films have a place in the world!"
Baidu News reporter: "Director Li, at present, "Zhao Zilong" ranks 22nd in world film history with a global box office of 850 million, and the top 20 are all sequels to series movies except for "Avatar" and "Titanic", does Li always have plans to shoot a sequel?"
Li Mudao, "Of course, the movie "Zhao Zilong" only shows the story of Zhao Yun as an adult, and we will show the legendary life of a generation of famous generals in the sequel in the future, I hope it will not disappoint the audience!"
The reporter then asked, "Then do you have any plans to make a sequel to "The Return of the Great Sage"?"
Li Mudao, "The story of the Great Sage and Jiang Liu'er is far from over, and we are considering preparing for a sequel to "The Return of the Great Sage"!"
"Is the actor still Peng Yuyan?"
The reporter asked a sharp question, and the reporters all looked at Li Mu's to see how he reacted.
Li Mu said with an unchanged expression, "This depends on what Ma Dong means, of course we hope to continue to use the actors from the previous film, as long as they agree!"
Hearing Li Mu's words, the reporters were a little disappointed, and the CEOs and actors of other film and television companies were also a little disappointed, but it did not prevent them from continuing to ask questions.
"The global box office of "Zhao Zilong" is as high as 850 million yuan, and the investment announced by your company is 600 million yuan, can you please tell Mr. Li how much money this movie makes?"
Since ancient times, wealth has not been exposed, especially companies that have not been listed and do not need financing companies have always been low-key and make a lot of money, but Li Mu did not hide it, and said a rough figure, "Because the cost is too high, the domestic box office is just returning to the cost, and the box office in Southeast Asia and Europe and the United States can probably get more than 1800 million yuan in shares, and the copyright of other networks, televisions, and audio products is still being discussed!"
200 million meters, everyone was frightened by this number, I thought that "The Return of the Great Sage" earned more than 600 million yuan, which was shocking enough, but I didn't expect it to double directly this time, you must know that there are not many movies that can earn 200 million meters at the box office alone, even if they are placed in Hollywood.
......
Just when Li Mu was holding a celebration banquet, at the headquarters of Twentieth Century Fox in Hollywood, Los Angeles, United States, Jim Gianpoulos, chairman of Twentieth Century Fox, was looking through the statistics of "Zhao Zilong", and there was also a report on the analysis of the Chinese film market in the past 10 years.
Half an hour later, Jim put down his papers and called his assistant, "Help me make an appointment with Brad, Michael, Jeff......"
