The most worrying thing for everyone in the crew is that the two movies are of similar type, with the same selling point, they are both big special effects and big scenes, so they collide directly, and the two movies are directly compared intentionally or unintentionally, which directly leads to the loss of popularity of a bad movie, and they all go to buy tickets to watch a movie that has a good response from fans.

This time, either "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons" will crush "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons", or "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons" will crush "Darknessless".

Compared with the worries of most of the crew, Chen Dong is full of confidence.

"Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" has been tested by the audience, with 1.2183 billion yuan, the second place in mainland film history, and has won the single-week box office championship for five consecutive times, with rave reviews from the audience, it is a very good movie.

Chen Dong smiled and said, "It's too early to say this, the quality of the movie, whether it wins or loses, these are decided by the fans and audiences!" ”

A reporter from a weekly magazine continued to ask Chen Dong, "May I ask Chen Dong, can you honor your bet with Ma Yue?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Dong said affirmatively, "I can't afford to lose 100 million, as long as the total box office of "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" can't exceed 200 million, I get the box office share and then make up 100 million will be donated to the Hope Project, and all the media and netizens will supervise it. ”

"Okay, let's supervise, when Ma Yue's box office exceeds 100 million, Ma Yue is not naked/running, I will spray him to death."

All the reporters present and the onlookers echoed loudly to supervise the gambling game between the two.

If "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" did not exceed 200 million, and Chen Dong did not donate 100 million to the Hope Project, then Chen Dong's popularity would definitely drop to the freezing point. No one likes an idol who goes back on his word and doesn't talk much.

If the box office of "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" exceeded 200 million, Ma Yue did not fulfill his promise and ran naked/ran on the street. Ma Yue's fame is stinky.

"I don't know Chen Dong, what is your box office estimate for "Journey to the West: Demon Conquering Chapter"?" A reporter asked Chen Dong.

Hearing this, Chen Dong did not answer positively, but just smiled at the reporter and said, "Of course I hope that the more the better." ”

"Chen Dong, can you give a detailed number." The answer to the words of Chen Dong's formula. Of course, the reporters were not reconciled and continued to ask Chen Dong.

Chen Dong didn't speak, just made an 'eight' gesture with his thumb and forefinger.

"80 million? It shouldn't be possible, the movie "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" has an investment + publicity fee of 6700w+ alone. ”

"Is it 800 million?"

Hiss~!

Everyone gasped.

How dare you say it!

The investment + publicity fee is 6700+W, the box office is more than 800 million, and the ratio of total investment to total box office is 12 times that of horror.

How is that possible? Where did he Chen Dong get so much confidence.

You must know that a movie can make money if the total box office reaches 3 times the investment.

In other words, "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", as long as it exceeds 200 million, it can protect the capital. The rest is purely earned, more than 800 million, according to the agreement of the producer, distributor, and theater, that is to say, Chen Dong can earn more than 200 million. How is this possible?

Moreover, there are very few movies that can exceed 800 million on the box office list of mainland film history, and most of them are Hollywood films, and domestic films have not been there before, until recent years, due to the depreciation of the currency and the growth of the mainland economy, as well as the increase in the base of fans, the increase in theaters, the rise in movie ticket prices and other reasons, there are only so many domestic films that can exceed 800 million in the mainland box office list.

Where did Chen Dong get such great confidence.

All the reporters took out their cameras one after another and kept filming Chen Dong's gesture.

It is estimated that tomorrow the headlines on the front page of these media will be this one.

Is it arrogant or confident?

Then only the final box office of "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" will come out and evaluate it.

In fact. Chen Dong said the number of 800 million, and also said that it was less, in the original time and space, it was 1.2 billion+, ranking second in the box office list of film history.

The reporter then asked a few questions. It wasn't until the premiere was about to start that the reporters let Chen Dong go.

Chen Dong walked into the cinema and looked around, the cinema was already full.

The premiere invited film critics, filmmakers, media reporters, and 100 fans of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

These 100 fans are 100 lucky fans randomly selected from the fan fan group of "Journey to the West: Demon Conquering Chapter" to attend the premiere.

For the quota of this premiere, you can see Chen Dong, Zhao Yi, Chen Ying and other major star actors in reality, as well as filmmakers, film critics, and major social celebrities and reporters from many media, and the most important thing is to see some clips of "Journey to the West: Demon Conquering Chapter" in advance.

The netizens who got the premiere quota from the lucky ones selected by thousands of "Journey to the West: Demon Conquering Chapter" fans were very excited, while the netizens who did not draw the premiere quota expressed great regret and were unwilling to spend money to buy from the fans who got the premiere quota.

A premiere quota was noisy to a very high price, and even a local tyrant bid 5,000 yuan, 1w yuan for a premiere spot.

Chen Dong found his place in the middle of the front row of the cinema, and Wang Sen was sitting next to him.

"Director Wang, how is it, do you have confidence in this movie?" Chen Dong sat down, turned his head and said to Wang Sen.

"Have confidence, after all, the movie "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" took a lot of our efforts, and we strive for excellence during filming, plus post-production, the whole movie was shot for more than half a year, I believe this movie is no worse than "No Light" in all aspects." Wang Sen said.

In Wang Sen's heart, he has always been grateful to Chen Dong.

When others respectfully call themselves Director Wang and Director Wang Da, he will think of Chen Dong, he can have a lofty place in the film industry today, all of which are favored by Meng Chendong.

Otherwise, he is still a second-rate director, making some bad movies in the film industry, low-budget literary films, and it will never be impossible to be famous.

It is undeniable that he has the ability, he is from a professional class, and he has been filming for more than ten years, but he has been in the film industry for more than ten years, and he knows that having ability does not mean that he will definitely come out, in addition to his own ability, he must also have nobles to support, Chen Dong is his nobleman.

A "Crazy Stone" made him jump from a second-rate director to a first-class director, and now he has directed the big-budget movie "Journey to the West" with an investment of more than 4500w.
