Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1090 Little Alan Ryder

"Merry Christmas" and "Owl and Dumbo" received 800 million and 300 million box office respectively after two weeks of release.

For the two theaters, the gap between the box office of these two films is not very big.

And just the box office here in Xiangjiang has already made them a small fortune, and they have earned back their capital first.

As for really wanting to make money, it still depends on Maibu. After all, overseas income is the real big money for Xiangjiang's movies at this time.

Although "Owl and Dumbo" failed to beat "Merry Christmas" this time, Pan Disheng and Shun Jianxun both blamed Mai Jia for taking the lead in the film's title.

After all, Christmas is approaching, and the play "Merry Christmas" just listens to the name, and after listening to it, people have an idea of ​​wanting to go in and take a look.

It is precisely because of this that the box office difference of the last two plays is 500 million.

However, such a statement was only circulated inside Baocheng Cinemas, and was not spread outside.

After all, if you lose, you lose, and you have lost as much as 500 million. What face is there to find yourself a step down.

But for Baocheng Cinemas, "Owl and Dumbo" is just a small loss, and it will not have the slightest impact on them.

And what they will face next is a real monster.

For the premiere of "Godzilla" this time, Lin Daoqiu chose to screen it in Xiangjiang, Tokyo, and Hollywood at the same time.

And he himself left for Hollywood a week before the release of "Godzilla".

After all, Hollywood is the biggest ticket store for "Godzilla", and Lin Daoqiu will definitely not be able to sit in the town in person.

After getting off the plane, Cole Rowe, the publicity manager of Universal Pictures, had personally picked him up at the airport.

"Godzilla will premiere at the Grumman Theater..."

This Grumman Theater is a well-known landmark in LA. This theater opened in 1927, and it has another very famous name called ZG Theater.

This is a standard ZG-style theater, where many of Hollywood's biggest names and stars have performed over the decades, and the Oscars have been held here many times.

The reason why he chose to hold the premiere of "Godzilla" here is not only because of its high enough popularity, but also because this ZG theater is more in line with Lin Daoqiu's ZG identity.

"Very good choice, I am very satisfied."

Lin Daoqiu nodded, but his face was expressionless.

In fact, it is not very important where to hold the premiere, as long as the venue is big enough.

And the movie "Godzilla" can be said to be the most important movie for Universal this year.

The last time Lin Daoqiu 'accidentally' disclosed the production fee of 5000 million yuan for this movie in "Late Night Interview", it caused an uproar in Hollywood.

Lin Daoqiu has not been here for a while, so he naturally doesn't know how much attention is paid to this drama from ordinary audiences to media people.

And this time, Langmeyer moved all of Universal's screens to "Godzilla" in one breath.

He is even contacting other film companies to let them jointly release this "Godzilla".

As soon as he arrived at the hotel, Lin Daoqiu saw Lang Mayer waiting for him in the room.

"The 6000 yuan screen is already the limit that Universal can mobilize, but you can rest assured that I have already contacted other film dealers, this time..."

Before Langmeyer finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

"6000 yuan is definitely not enough. I think we should find several other film companies to cooperate with."

Lin Daoqiu felt that instead of looking for them one by one, it is better to go directly to those film companies for cooperation.

Anyway, when "Godzilla" is released, there will definitely not be many audiences in their theaters. Instead of leaving the theaters empty, they might as well make money together.

For Lin Daoqiu's crazy idea, Langmeyer shook his head directly to express his rejection.

"Impossible, they will never agree, I guess you may have forgotten how proud those guys are."

It is absolutely impossible for them to take out the theaters they cooperate with to play movies from other companies. Just by thinking about it, it is absolutely impossible.

"Don't worry, no one will have trouble with money, and when the time comes, everyone will watch "Godzilla", and there will be no customers in their theaters. Do you think they are anxious or we are anxious."

Lin Daoqiu is very sure that when "Godzilla" is released in North America, it will definitely set off a wave of movie-watching.

And unlike in Xiangjiang, the release time of movies in North America may be extended for a long time.

"Titanic" was screened continuously for nearly ten months that year. Although it was not possible to keep the venues full all the time, as long as it maintained a high attendance rate for two months, it was enough to make other film companies feel uncomfortable.

"Are you really that confident?"

Langmeyer has great doubts about this. He knows that "Godzilla" is definitely a great movie, but can those film companies really be forced to come and cooperate with them to release this movie?

"Others won't, but I believe Alan Ryder Jr. should be interested."

…………

"Lin Daoqiu wants to see me?"

When little Alan Ryder heard the news from his secretary, he was taken aback for a moment.

In a few days, "Godzilla" will be released, why does Lin Daoqiu come to see me at this time?
Little Alan Ryder was very curious, and he immediately asked his secretary to invite Lin Daoqiu into his office.

When the door was pushed open, little Alan Ryder sat on a chair and looked at Lin Daoqiu who came in from the door.

A few years ago, Alan Ryder Jr. bought the copyright of "Mission Impossible" for a whopping $[-] million.

But after that, Lin Daoqiu and Fox never cooperated again.

Later, Lin Daoqiu was very prosperous in Hollywood, and even went to Universal.

Little Alan Ryder actually liked Lin Daoqiu very much at the beginning. If he was willing to come to Fox at that time, maybe this "Godzilla" is now released by Fox, and of course there are "The Mummy" and "Tomb Raider". film".

"I haven't seen Chairman Alan for a long time. You are still as proud as before."

While Lin Daoqiu was speaking, he had already walked to the opposite side of little Alan Ryder and sat down.

"I don't think I've asked you to sit down yet."

Little Alan Ryder frowned slightly.

But Lin Daoqiu turned a blind eye.

"Oh, Mr. Lin is the only one who dares to be so arrogant in front of me. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have thrown him out."

Little Alan Ryder sneered.

"I didn't expect that Chairman Alan's temper is still so bad, but I came here today because I have a good thing to discuss with Chairman Alan."

"What good thing?"

Little Alan Ryder looked at Lin Daoqiu curiously.
