Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1008 More Than One Billion

Tsui Hark knew that "Godzilla" cost a lot of money, but he didn't expect to spend so much.

"Is Lin Daoqiu crazy to invest one billion Hong Kong dollars in a movie?"

Pan Disheng really couldn't understand, Lin Daoqiu's approach was simply unimaginable.

What's wrong with spending a billion dollars, but to use it to make a movie, is this guy crazy?

And it takes several years to shoot. If "Godzilla" fails to get a good box office when it is released, not to mention losing money, the time he spent on "Godzilla" in the past few years will be wasted.

"Based on the investment of "Godzilla" and the publicity, this movie must earn at least [-] million US dollars at the box office worldwide in order to pay back, but Lin Daoqiu has not yet broken the [-] million US dollars in a single film in Hollywood. .”

Cen Jianxun found a flaw in it.

Lin Daoqiu spent one billion to make a movie, so what, he has never made a movie in Hollywood with a box office of more than [-] million.

If "Godzilla" this time is the same as before, only hovering between [-] million and [-] million yuan, Lin Daoqiu will at least lose hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Tsui Hark looked at Cen Jianxun, and wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he lowered his head again.

"Well, no matter how much box office Lin Daoqiu's "Godzilla" can get, it has nothing to do with us. This year, Baocheng Cinemas must step up efforts to gain a firm foothold in the Xiangjiang film market."

Pan Disheng didn't want to continue discussing the topic of "Godzilla".

After all, Lin Daoqiu can spend [-] billion yuan to make a movie, but he can only invest [-] million yuan a year to make movies for Baocheng Cinemas.

After this comparison, he and Lin Daoqiu paled in comparison, so Pan Disheng naturally didn't want to continue the chat.

Because of Pan Desheng's relationship, "Godzilla" did not become a topic in Baocheng Cinemas.

However, this incident spread without exception.

"One billion to make a movie? Is this person crazy?"

"I don't believe it either. How could someone in Xiangjiang use one billion yuan to make a movie? Ah, this person is Lin Daoqiu, so it's okay."

If the protagonist of this rumor is someone else, no one will believe that the filmmakers in Xiangjiang will spend one billion Hong Kong dollars to make a movie.

But when this person turned out to be Lin Daoqiu, the truth of this rumor began to increase.

When this matter spread, most people were very curious about what a movie that cost one billion yuan would look like, and they couldn't wait to see it as soon as possible.

Because of this, New Oriental's phone calls were blown up by enthusiastic audiences.

The vast majority of people call to ask when "Godzilla" will be released.

Because of this, Lin Daoqiu had no choice but to hold a press conference in person to answer questions from the public, and help "Godzilla" warm up by the way.

"Did the movie "Godzilla" really cost one billion Hong Kong dollars?"

"When is "Godzilla" going to be shown in Hong Kong Cinemas?"

"How much box office will "Godzilla" get to get back the money."

All kinds of questions confused Lin Daoqiu's head.

But since today is a press conference, it is natural to ask them enough questions, otherwise these reporters may not try their best to help themselves with publicity.

"Let me first answer the question asked by the reporter just now. "Godzilla" cost more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. If the post-production expenses are included, it will at least exceed 15 billion Hong Kong dollars."

Later, "Godzilla" will be promoted in major regions of the world, and the cost will naturally not be so low.

It sounds like an unbelievable thing to spend almost [-] million US dollars on a play.

Originally, everyone's concept was still at one billion, but Lin Daoqiu helped them add another five hundred million.

"'Godzilla' will be released in this year's Christmas time frame, which is now confirmed."

It's only March now, and there's still a lot of time to prepare, so it's the most correct choice to release "Godzilla" on the Christmas schedule.

Because this not only took care of Hollywood, but also took care of the audience on Hong Kong's side.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu wanted to release "Godzilla" in next year's Spring Festival.

In this case, no matter what kind of movie Baocheng Cinemas produces, Lin Daoqiu is confident that they will lose until they lose their pants.

But doing so would delay the release of "Godzilla" in Xiangjiang, and Lin Daoqiu didn't want to favor one over the other.

And his decision made those guys in Baocheng Cinemas breathe a sigh of relief.

They should thank Lin Daoqiu for not killing him.

"As for how much box office "Godzilla" needs to get to get back its money, I haven't thought about it at all, and I won't think about it."

Lin Daoqiu is not pretending to be aggressive, but because the box office of "Godzilla" cannot be estimated at all.

Making money is certain, the question is how much you can make in the end.

And not only the box office revenue of the movie theater, but also the share of the video tape is definitely not a small sum of money.

In this press conference, Lin Daoqiu answered many questions.

In particular, the fact that the production cost of "Godzilla" was as high as 15 billion not only caused a shock in Hong Kong, but when the news spread, all the major regions in Southeast Asia knew about it.

Film merchants from Baodao, Neon, Hanguo, and those countries in Southeast Asia are all eager to move.

Everyone wants to get the agency rights of "Godzilla" in their country.

After Lin Daoqiu finished the press conference of "Godzilla", he directly devoted himself to the post-production of "Tomb Raider".

Although the filming time of this film was not very long, the process can be said to be very hard.

Although it is not as good as going to the desert of Egypt to "The Mummy", it is not far behind.

After Lin Qingxia finished filming "Tomb Raider", she slept for two full days, and then left Xiangjiang to travel.

This time, Lin Daoqiu gave her a two-month vacation so that she could have a good rest for a while.

Brigitte Lin just took this opportunity to invite her friends in Baodao to go abroad to have fun.

The post-production of "Tomb Raider" will take at least two months.

Lin Daoqiu calculated the time and planned to release it in Hollywood's summer vacation.

Therefore, there is still plenty of time in terms of time. The post-production of this drama can be done slowly, and there is no need to worry too much.

And Lin Daoqiu was still busy with the post-production of "Tomb Raider".

At New Art City, Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen have already started filming "Happy Ghost".

This time, the protagonists of "Happy Ghost" were all replaced.

Instead, there were four new faces, Luo Meiwei, Chen Jialing, Yuan Jieying, and Fu Mingxian.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know about this matter yet, but even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything more. After all, the "Happy Ghost" series is still glowing in Huang Baiming's hands, so there is no need for him to interfere.
