Chapter 543 The Aggrieved Wu Xianglin
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, June 6 came. At six o'clock in the evening, countless Xiangjiang journalists were waiting here at the Xiangjiang Lisheng Theater.

At 20 o'clock tonight, the film Alien ET, which is a collaboration between Jiayi Film Company and an American company, will be officially released. Today, it will not only be released in Xiangjiang, but will also be released simultaneously in more than [-] countries in Asia, Europe and the United States. .

It is the first time in the world that so many regions release a commercial movie at the same time. Therefore, this movie became popular before it was broadcast. Many movie fans want to see whether this movie is worth such treatment.

The main reason why the reporters all came to Lisheng Theater instead of going to other Jiayi theaters is that Li’s executives and invited guests will come to Lisheng Theater, which is the home of this screening.

Moreover, the tickets for the first performance of the Lisheng Theater today were not sold externally, but were distributed to the inviters, as well as star directors and screenwriters in the film and television industry. At the same time, some newspaper reporters also got free tickets.

Golden Harvest failed to invest in Hollywood the year before last, and finally made a lot of money last year.But so far, Golden Harvest has temporarily given up its plan to develop the American film market, and this year, Jiayi Films and the United States will cooperate, and they also want to know whether they will repeat the mistakes of Golden Harvest the year before.

Today, Wu Xianglin, chairman of Jiayi Film Company, came very early. He needed to come to welcome the guests, and he arrived at the Lisheng Theater just after six o'clock.

Naturally, the reporters would not let go of the opportunity to interview him. As soon as he got out of the car, many reporters surrounded him.

A reporter from Oriental Daily asked: "Wu Sheng, may I ask if you have confidence in the box office of this movie? We all know that this movie is said to be a blockbuster made with 1500 million US dollars. Such a huge amount of money is not even a Hong Kong movie. appeared."

Such a huge amount of money was invested in a movie, which made it hard for these reporters in Xiangjiang to imagine.

At present, the highest box office of a movie is still created by Jiayi Film Company itself. The True Colors of Heroes was popular in Hong Kong back then, but it only just passed the box office of 3000 million Hong Kong dollars.

If it weren't for this, I'm afraid Hong Kong hasn't had a movie with a box office of more than 3000 million Hong Kong dollars until now.The investment in this movie is nearly 8000 million Hong Kong dollars, which is enough to make a family in Hong Kong become a member of the rich in Hong Kong.

Wu Xianglin replied: "I believe that this film will achieve very good results. I think you have also learned about the director of this film. Mr. Spielberg is a very good director. He has had too many directors before. This is a well-known work, and this Alien will not disappoint everyone. And Li Sheng is also very optimistic about this movie, which is the biggest source of confidence for our Jiayi executives."

For the time being, they couldn't question Li Guangyu's vision. They had questioned some of Li Guangyu's views many times before, and they were all slapped in the face. Now they would not do things to slap their face.When Li Guangyu makes mistakes in the future, that is the time for them to question.

A reporter from Sing Tao Daily asked: "Wu Sheng, the major groups of the Lee Consortium are developing markets all over the world. It is within your Jiayi Group, and several other major subsidiaries have also established branches in various places. Only your film company has only Developing in Xiangjiang, there is no intention of going out, this cooperation with the American film company, is it a start for your film company to go out?"

Although Wu Xianglin felt very uncomfortable hearing the reporter say this, even though he was very aggrieved, he could only endure it. This is not what the reporter in front of him thinks, but many people in Xiangjiang think so.

Even within their group, they think that the film company is just enjoying the care of the Li Group, and has no intention of making progress at all, and is only stagnant in Xiangjiang.

Wu Xianglin himself also wants to follow the example of record companies and theater companies to set up branches in various regions to explore the local market, and even go to Hollywood to compete with those film companies.

It's just that Li's executives didn't have such an idea. The task for the film company was to fully consolidate the Asian film market, and there was no mention of the United States.

Last year, if Golden Harvest hadn't been in a hurry, maybe there would have been no joint venture for this movie.As for whether it will be like external expansion, Wu Xianglin himself has no answer.

Now Li's top management has not proposed such a plan, and he cannot give this reporter a positive answer here.

Wu Xianglin said: "Our Jiayi Film Company is determined to become a world-class film company. In the future, we will definitely go out of Xiangjiang and enter the world market. Especially in the United States, we will definitely develop there in the future. As for when, it will take It will be carried out according to the group's high-level arrangement."

Wu Xianglin then answered several reporters' questions, and then declined the reporters who wanted to continue asking questions on the grounds that he wanted to receive guests.

As time passed, more and more people arrived, and the reporters became busy. There were too many people they wanted to interview, and they could only focus on important people for interviews.

And Wrinkle Huai is obviously a subject they want to interview. In terms of cooperating with American film companies to make films, Jiahe is Jiayi's predecessor, and Wrinkle Huai has sufficient qualifications to speak in this regard.

Immediately after Wrinkles arrived, she was surrounded by many reporters.

A reporter asked: "Wrinkle Sheng, what do you think of this movie that Jiayi will release this time?"

As a few years passed, although Jiahe and Jiayi had many fights over the film, Li Guangyu did not get involved in it, nor did he use the rich financial resources of the Li Family Group to target him. Now Jiahe and Jiayi have no relationship. Not as tense as before.

With the closure of the Shaw Brothers film company, the relationship between the major film companies in Hong Kong has become much more harmonious, and there is no longer the confrontation like before.

Wrinkle Huai said: "I have heard about this movie a long time ago. I believe it is a very classic movie. This will be a very successful cooperation, and Jiayi will get a very good return."

Wrinkle Huai's answer is obviously not what the reporters want to hear, what they need is contradictions, how can such a piece of harmonious news attract the attention of the citizens.

A reporter said: "Wrinkle, this time the Lee Consortium's momentum is quite large, and it is released simultaneously in more than [-] countries and regions around the world. Obviously, you have full confidence in this, and you have cooperated with American film companies many times. experience, do you think they're going to suffer at the box office?"

Wrinkle pregnant himself doesn't know what the movie is like, how dare he make such a definition at this time, if there is a situation contrary to what he said, it will be a slap in the face.

Since both the Lee Consortium and Universal Pictures have launched large-scale publicity, the box office must have been very high in the first two days. After that, it is necessary to watch the quality of the movie. If the quality is not good, it is quite normal for the box office to show a Waterloo.

Wrinkle Huai said: "I believe in Li Sheng's vision, and I also believe in Spielberg's director's ability. As for the box office of this movie, let us wait and see."

After Wrinkle Huai finished speaking, he walked into the Lisheng Theater without giving reporters any chance to ask questions.
