Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1072 The Most Concerned Movie

There was no Internet at this time, so most people didn't know how popular Tomb Raider was in Hollywood.

Even people in the neon industry would have no way of knowing if they didn't pay special attention to the situation in Hollywood.

However, Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin are still very popular in Neon. On the day of the premiere, the theater where the premiere was held was crowded with people. Everyone came to see the big stars.

Unlike the premiere in Hollywood, Brigitte Lin wore a blue dress and pulled up her hair, looking noble and elegant.

She walked into the theater with Lin Daoqiu on her arm with a smile on her face, and the fans outside shouted Lin Qingxia's name.

On the huge posters on both sides of the theater, Lin Qingxia's appearance in "Tomb Raider" is very handsome.

In 1984, the box office rankings of the neon year were "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2", "Cannonball Run 2", and "Satomi Eight Dogs".

However, "Project A", which was released at the beginning of the year, only got 17 billion box office and ranked sixth.

Compared with "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2", Isao Matsuoka's expectations for "Tomb Raider" are obviously much higher. After all, the box office of this movie in Hollywood is almost breaking [-] million.

Isao Matsuoka's expectation in his heart is that "Tomb Raider" will win at least 50 billion yen at the box office.

However, he also has a little worry in his heart. You must know that "Tomb Raider" is a movie with a female protagonist.

But in Neon, a society where machismo is prevalent, it is really unpredictable whether the audience can like this drama.

But even if "Tomb Raider" hits the street, it doesn't matter, because in the next few days, a super shocking blockbuster is about to be released.

That drama is not counted in billions, so at least tens of billions will be watched.

Even Isao Matsuoka predicted that "Godzilla" will definitely refresh the historical box office of neon movies, and the day he is looking forward to will come soon.

Before entering the theater, Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin stopped to be interviewed by reporters.

At the beginning, everyone asked about the movie "Tomb Raider". Both Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin gave simple answers.

But at the end of the interview, the reporter finally couldn't help asking the question they most wanted to ask when they came here today.

"Mr. Lin, when will the movie "Godzilla" be released on Neon?"

"Mr. Lin, "Godzilla" cost 5000 million US dollars, is that true?"

Lin Daoqiu did not expect that the reporter of Neon was so well-informed. What he said in "Late Night Interview" a few days ago had already spread to Neon.

"I'm sorry everyone, Miss Lin and I are here today to promote "Tomb Raider". As for other movies, it's not convenient for me to answer right now."

Lin Daoqiu is very clear that if he talks about "Godzilla" here, then these reporters will pay more attention to the movie "Godzilla" and forget about "Tomb Raider".

But this is no wonder, after all, the monster Godzilla has a great relationship with neon, and it is unbelievable to make a movie with an investment of 5000 million US dollars.

Even in Hollywood, it would be an earth-shattering event, let alone in Neon.

As soon as the news of "Godzilla" came out, it immediately occupied the pages of major media, and even several TV stations dedicated a lot of programs to discuss the drama "Godzilla".

Now everyone is looking forward to the news of "Godzilla" from Lin Daoqiu's mouth, but unexpectedly he refused.

"Everyone, Mr. Lin and Ms. Lin are here today to promote the movie "Tomb Raider". I hope everyone will focus on "Tomb Raider". Please everyone."

Isao Matsuoka hurried out to save the scene. He didn't want these reporters to annoy Lin Daoqiu, which would not do Dongbao any good.

Now that even Isao Matsuoka spoke up, those reporters had no choice but to stop asking.

After a brief interview, Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin entered the theater together with the interpreter and Isao Matsuoka.

"Mr. Lin, please don't be surprised. Recently, the topic of "Godzilla" has been very hot in Neon. Everyone wants to know more about the progress of "Godzilla."

Isao Matsuoka briefly explained to Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Daoqiu can also understand this, but understanding is what he understands. Now "Godzilla" has not yet reached the promotion stage, so it is impossible for him to disclose any news about this drama.

"Mr. Matsuoka, don't worry. In fact, I can understand, but you also know that the promotion of "Godzilla" will not start until next month. It is not good for "Godzilla" to reveal too much information now."

"Godzilla" will be screened all over the world at the same time, and Isao Matsuoka will be responsible for the promotion of Neon, and I will definitely not be able to come by then.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured that the promotion of "Godzilla" will be Dongbao's top priority at that time, and I will definitely do my best to make the promotion as perfect as possible."

After working in Toho for so many years, "Godzilla" can be said to be the movie that Isao Matsuoka cares most about.

From the investment of this drama to the degree of shock, Isao Matsuoka has never encountered it before.

What's even more commendable is that the monster Godzilla was created by neon, so the movie "Godzilla" and neon can be regarded as related.

Even Isao Matsuoka is still imagining that "Godzilla" is definitely more than just one movie. As long as he and Lin Daoqiu cooperate happily in the future, "Godzilla" can at least bring Dongbao tens of billions of yen in income , this is by no means a fantasy.

One must know that Neon's annual box office revenue is only tens of billions, so it's no wonder Isao Matsuoka attaches so much importance to it.

…………

After the premiere of "Tomb Raider", the audience's response was still very enthusiastic.

After all, compared with the action movies of the same period, "Tomb Raider" can be said to have surpassed them by a generation.

The action martial arts, gun battles, and special effects in it surpassed other action movies of the same period by more than one position.

After two days of publicity, Lin Daoqiu left Tokyo with Brigitte Lin and two translators, and came to Hakone in the southwest of Kanagawa Prefecture, 90 kilometers away from Tokyo. This is the hometown of neon hot springs.

When he arrived in Tokyo before, Lin Daoqiu told Lin Qingxia that he would take her out for a while during the promotional period, and take a dip in the hot springs by the way. This time he did not break his promise.

They booked a hot spring hotel at the foot of the mountain, where Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin temporarily lived a leisurely life for a few days.

Every day is not soaking in hot springs, but walking around and tasting nearby delicacies.

Both Lin Daoqiu and Lin Qingxia haven't enjoyed this kind of comfortable life for a long time.
