Although Tom Thornberg knew that Chen Tian would answer, he didn't expect Chen Tian to add such a sentence later.

He could think of what kind of situation Chen Tian would be in because of the last words, and looking at Chen Tian beside him, Tom Thornberg felt that he seemed to be unable to keep up with the times.

"Justin, you originally meant that you were on the same level as James and Spielberg, but you said that you weren't on the same level as them, didn't your words contradict that?" a white reporter asked, standing up.

"Excuse me, but which media outlet are you?"

Chen Tian asked with a smile, looking like a big boy next door.

"I'm George Edgar, a reporter for the New York Post. The white reporter replied.

"George Edgar, that's a great name, but maybe I should suggest you relearn language comprehension.

You still think so after listening to what I just said, of course I can understand that you need it for the sake of journalism, and if so, then I understand.

I'm not going to answer questions like that, NEXT!"

George Edgar looked at Chen Tian on the stage and wanted to rush up and punch Chen Tian.

"Justin, I'm a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, and you rarely appear in front of the media, but you showed your confidence today, so have you ever wondered if your next film will be a big kill at the box office?

According to your words, I can't understand that "Little Sunshine" and "Saw Horror" will be big hits, including the sci-fi film you just broke out?"

If it's a film that costs $100 million to shoot, it only ends up getting $100 million at the North American box office.

It's at least good to look at the box office regardless of the cost, but I guess if there was a gun. And if it is not illegal to kill someone......

For me, ROI is the most important thing. The miracle of "Buried Alive" is not easy to replicate. Therefore, I think that as long as it can bring profit to investors and issuing companies, I think it is a victory.

Of course, the ROI of my films is at least good, and as for the "Chainsaw" share deal that Lionsgate signed with me, you don't know about it, but I'll tell you now. ”

The reporters in the audience pricked up their ears one by one, they didn't know about this sharing agreement, they only knew that Lu Dao was a very high number.

"30% of the North American box office!"

"Oh, God 30%!" Someone in the audience immediately let out a scream. That's too high.

Chen Tian looked at the audience and smiled: "40% of the income from DVDs and Blu-ray discs!"

If just 30% is already crazy for them, then this 40% is almost unimaginable.

Even James Cameron can't get this number at this level, and everyone knows how objective the income is in this area.

And that's how Lionsgate actually gave 40%, is Lionsgate crazy?

Everyone looked at the stage, but they didn't say anything but looked at Chen Tian with a smile on their faces.

"Lionsgate bears a series of expenses such as publicity, distribution, guilds, and copies. ”

For this, the reporters in the audience were not surprised, after all, Chen Tian's previous agreement was also like this.

"In the end, Lionsgate gave me the director's fee and the screenwriter's fee this time, and this is our agreement this time. ”

Chen Tian had just finished speaking. The audience was completely chaotic.

"Tom, do you know how crazy a sharing agreement like this is, what made you make such a decision?"

"Mr. John. Do you think Lionsgate can make a profit on Saw Horror, even though you don't have to bear the production costs?"

"Justin, are you sure you're not joking?"

……

"I think I can answer that question. Tom Thornberg spoke up, and Chen Tian sat down.

"This sharing agreement is no joke, it's completely real.

We dared to come up with such a crazy and crazy agreement because of our confidence in Saw Horror.

If you're interested in our website, you'll know our slogan.

If the phrase 'the real horror that suffocates you is coming!' is wrong after you have seen the movie, then I am willing to pay for your tickets.

Of course, if there are more than 30% of the people, we will compensate, otherwise we at Lionsgate will not be able to afford it. ”

Tom Thornberg mused: "The most important thing is that Saw cost $1.5 million to make, and we are confident that the film will grossing more than 60 million in North America and selling more than 50 million on DVD and Blu-ray.

The screenwriting fee is 1 million and the director fee is 2 million, which is the cost we need to pay at the beginning.

How much we can make a profit, I think you will be able to figure it out. ”

Looking at everyone in the audience, Tom Thornberg added: "If Saw were on the auction table, I don't think we would be the craziest one. ”

"Is Lionsgate so confident in this film? This film is not directed by Justin. Someone immediately asked.

"James Wing was involved in the filming of "Buried Alive", and the record-breaking "Super Burger King" was the work of James Wing.

And he is Justin's best partner, although this film is not directed by Justin, but it is Justin's investment. ”

"Tom, you should say that Justin's production is a high-quality product!" Chen Tian interjected with a smile.

"Justin's production is a masterpiece, Justin, you mean that as long as you invest in you, shoot you, write your screenplay, and even the films you participate in are all high-quality, right?" asked George Edgar of the New York Post again.

He must Chen Tian admit this sentence, then he will have enough opportunities to satirize Chen Tian in the future.

In fact, Chen Tian didn't think about avoiding it at all: "Of course!"

"Justin, what are your box office expectations for Chainsaw, Little Miss Sunshine and your upcoming sci-fi film with Natalie Portman?

Also, your sci-fi film has the news that it's a low-budget film, and it's probably wearing the cloak of sci-fi that it's actually a low-budget thriller that you're best at, right?"

"Saw 80 million in North America and 120 million worldwide"

That's $20 million higher than Tom Thornberg's starting point. And at a cost of just $1.5 million.

Although Chen Tian's "Buried Alive" and "Fruit Hard Candy" cost less than this. The box office has surpassed this. But it's not easy to get this box office figure.

Chen Tianke didn't care what the reporters in the audience thought: ""Little Sunshine Beauty" has 70 million in North America and more than 100 million in the world!"

With the 80 million of "Chainsaw" just now, the box office of "Little Sunshine Beauty" is not so exaggerated.

"A lot of people are right, but it's not a thriller in the guise of science fiction.

Since Natalie only asks for the daily salary of Hollywood actors, the cost of the film will not exceed $100,000.

If you're lucky, you could shoot in a day, and it won't cost more than $10,000. ”

Natalie Portman starred in the minimum salary standard of Hollywood actors, and Chen Tian's words made everyone feel unbelievable. It's even crazier than "Saw Horror" has more than 80 million.

It is possible to shoot in just one day, and the cost will certainly be less than $100,000 and possibly less than $10,000.

These make everyone feel like they are seeing aliens, and the miracle of "Buried Alive" is not always there.

But at this moment, in their eyes, Chen Tian is ready to replicate the rhythm of the miracle of "Buried Alive".

Either way, they have too many questions to ask.

"That's why Natalie agrees because the script is so good, and secondly, it's a great sci-fi adaptation, and there's a lot of connections, but it's not all.

In addition, I am a writer and director, and as for the North American box office, ......"

The reporters in the audience are looking forward to Chen Tian opening his mouth to be 80 million 100 million, so that they have already thought of tomorrow's headline "Justin Chen threatens to replicate the miracle of "buried alive".

"50 million in North America. 100 million worldwide!"

The reporters quickly recorded Chen Tian's words one by one, and they felt that it was really worthwhile to come here today.

"Justin. You're getting lower than the other, and even though each one is a box office miracle, can that be said to be a sign of your lack of confidence? It stands to reason that one is higher than the other, isn't it?" George Edgar stood up again.

"Man, well, since you say that, I'll make a bet?" Chen Tian asked, looking at George Edgar, the smile on his lips that looked like he was looking at a clown.

George Edgar gritted his teeth: "If all three of your North American films are more than 80 million, no, more than 100 million, I will take any bet on you." ”

"Justin, bet on him, we've got your back!"

"Yes, Justin, we've got your back!"

"George, I've got your back!"

"Justin, show your confidence!"

……

The conference room turned into a sports hall at this moment, and Chen Tian glanced at everyone in the audience.

George Edgar naturally knew what his colleagues meant by this, and he looked at Chen Tian on the stage with his head held high and disdainful eyes.

Tom Thornberg secretly poked Chen Tian with his hand underneath, and Chen Tian turned his head and made a reassuring expression at Tom.

"Each one is over 100 million, which is very difficult. Chen Tian shrugged.

"Justin, you can't throw in the towel, you're a miracle director. ”

"Justin, you're my idol, you're going to do miracles. ”

And George Edgar tilted his head even harder, like a proud peacock: "Justin, if you don't dare, I won't force it." ”

"What if I like a challenge, if all three of my North America are over 100 million, then please run naked for 1 lap around Liberty Island, where the Statue of Liberty is located!" Chen Tian snapped his fingers, "and at the same time write 'Justin, I love you' on your back." ’。

By the way, the day before the streaking, the New York Post wrote our bet on a full page, and I think it would be even better if there was an audience!"

"What if you can't?" said George Edgar, who didn't believe Chen Tian could do it.

"I'm running naked around Liberty Island for 3 laps, but I can't write 'George I love you!'.

Then my wife will be jealous, I don't like men, so I run 3 laps, and of course I will also publish a naked run agreement in the New York Post a day in advance!"

"OK, I agree to the bet!"

George Edgar is full of confidence, he has seen the humiliating scene of Chen Tian running naked.

The others wrote it down excitedly, looking forward to the day when they ran naked, and it didn't matter who was running naked. (To be continued......)
