This personal press conference belonging to Li Mu lasted for more than three hours, and it did not end until more than five o'clock in the afternoon.

After three hours of questioning, the reporters at the scene left very satisfied, and did not even attend the reception that Li Mu had prepared.

After dealing with the reporters, Li Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't look at him, he's just going to put on a big news to attract attention, but it's uncomfortable to be pestered by these people for hours.

Li Mu almost didn't stop talking for more than three hours, and the climate in the capital was already very dry, so his mouth was about to crack at this time.

After all, he is not Zhuge Liang who can fight the Confucianism with his tongue, and Zhuge Liang has never faced these thousands of mouths!

It is estimated that Zhuge Liang, Zhang Yi, and Su Qin are not opponents of these reporters when they are alive.

Walking off the stage, Li Mu took the cup from Xu Min's hand and poured a big sip of it, followed by another cup, then the third cup, and then the fourth cup......

However, Li Mu obviously forgot that in addition to reporters, there were hundreds of filmmakers on the scene, although the number was much smaller than the army of reporters, but these were all human spirits, and every sentence of chatting with them had to be drafted twice in his heart, and it was definitely not easier to deal with than before.

Li Mu himself didn't know how many glasses of water he had already poured, and when he saw that they were all walking towards him, he hurriedly used the strongest shield method in the universe.

"Hey, I've drunk too much water, I'll go to the toilet first, Xu Min, you greet everyone for me, and notify the hotel that it will start!"

Without waiting for them to surround him, Li Mu ran away first by urinating.

And Xu Min, who stayed behind, looked at them at a loss, and after thinking about it, he hurriedly went out to inform the hotel to arrange the cocktail party.

"Hey, this kid is still running away!" Yu Dong couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Mu hurriedly running out of the banquet hall.

"If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, so I want to leave when I call us from afar!" Wang Changtian said with a smile.

"That's right, just let him slow down!"

Of course, Li Mu couldn't go back directly, after all, he notified them one by one, and it would be too much to say if he left people here, he wasn't so undisciplined.

Li Mu found another box to rest for half an hour, and felt that it was almost time to return to the banquet hall.

At this time, the hall has been arranged by the hotel as a luxurious cocktail party, and all kinds of high-end red wines have been opened, and each large fruit plate is more than one meter high.

Many waiters wore trousers, white shirts, and bow ties.

After standing and talking for an afternoon, Li Mu was also hungry, so he grabbed food from the dining table next to him and stuffed it into his mouth.

Just when Li Mu was devouring, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Chen Tianqiao, Ma Huateng and others came to find him.

"Haha, it's not too kind for Mr. Li to hide here alone and steal food!" Wang Changtian said with a laugh with his right hand holding the goblet.

Seeing that they were all coming, Li Mu also stopped what he was doing, picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Thank you for your support, I'll do it first." ”

After eating so much plum wood, I happened to be thirsty!

"!"

"Cheers!"

"Mr. Li has a good amount of alcohol!"

After some politeness, the topic began, except for Yu Dong, they all complained that Li Mu had such a big news and didn't say it in advance, and said that Li Mu was not righteous.

But at the same time, they also secretly admired Li Mu's determination, even if Ma Huateng was in charge of Tengxun, which had a market value of nearly one trillion yuan, he couldn't easily decide on a big project of two billion yuan.

In the face of everyone's resentment, Li Mu could only apologize again and again, "I'm sorry for everyone, but I haven't officially started filming before, and I'm busy with other movies, if it is exposed, I should be worried!"

Before, Li Mu specially told Nicholas Tse to do a good job of confidentiality, especially the outsourced business must not disclose the specific situation, anyway, it is all scattered, and it is difficult for the rest of them to detect.

But fortunately, the current reporters are not as pervasive as they were later, and they don't pay too much attention to those special effects companies, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to hide it for long if they really wanted to investigate.

Everyone can understand Li Mu's explanation, if nothing else, you will be able to see the news about this press conference in the evening, and the huge investment of two billion will definitely set off a storm on the Internet.

Now, of course, this is beneficial, and there is still almost a month before the official start of the Lunar New Year, and the impact on the Lunar New Year stalls will be minimized as much as possible.

If the news had been announced three months earlier, it would have been overshadowed by the light of Li Mu's news, and it would have been a huge disaster for the box office of several movies.

However, understanding is understanding, what should be said is still to be said, and everyone caught Li Mu and counted them down.

"How about it, are you interested in joining in the shares?" Li Mu could only reluctantly give up a piece of "cake" in order to calm his anger.

As soon as these words came out, the people who were still joking just now immediately fell into deep thought, if it was an ordinary blockbuster, of course they would be willing to join it, and even the more the better.

But this film is too special, the production cost of 2 billion, the publicity fee must not be used up 500 million, the total investment of 2.5 billion is impossible to recover the cost by the domestic box office alone, and the domestic film market has not exploded to such a point.

Now the domestic monthly box office record is only more than 4 billion, and the total box office of the entire summer file is only more than 7 billion.

Even if the overseas box office hits, this movie will definitely not make much, at least not more than the blockbusters that several of their companies have recently invested in.

And this is an ancient mythological theme, which is completely different from Western mythology, and it may not be popular there.

No one wants to participate in a project that doesn't make much money and may even lose money, and everyone doesn't open their mouths for a while.

Li Mu saw their concerns at a glance, and said with a smile, "Two billion is just to deceive outsiders, the production cost of this movie is about one billion, plus about 300 million publicity expenses, even if other expenses are added in the later stage, it will not exceed 1.5 billion!"

Although 1.5 billion is still an unimaginable number compared to the current domestic film market, it is much more reasonable than the previous 2.5 billion.

And the cost of 1.5 billion yuan has not been unprofitable, although the domestic cost is still not enough to return to the cost, but Southeast Asia should be very welcome to this kind of theme, and when the Southeast Asian market takes a box office of 4.5 billion yuan to get 170 million yuan yuan, after all, "Looking for the Dragon" has received more than 300 million yuan!

If Europe and the United States go well, it will add up to 200 million and 60 million shares, which is almost enough to return to the cost.

Coupled with the mainland's 2 billion box office and the income from surrounding copyrights, the return on investment ratio is more than 1.5 times, which is also very impressive.

However, this is all ideal, and the chances of losing money are still very high.
