Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1094 One Billion? 15 billion?

Chapter 980 Six

Screaming, amazed, and dumbfounded, the audience watching "Godzilla" in the theater was completely shocked by this play.

As a science fiction film, Lin Daoqiu's "Godzilla", as he himself said, can be regarded as a milestone film.

In fact, not long ago, Fox once released an action science fiction movie called "Terminator 1".

This low-cost film cost only 650 million US dollars, took only three months to shoot, and finally won 800 million at the box office.

Although it is both a sci-fi movie, compared with "Godzilla", "Terminator 1" can be said to be completely incomparable.

After all, the production costs of the two films are very different, and the shooting time is ten times different.

The director of "Terminator" was actually at the scene himself. He was not interested in "Godzilla" at first, thinking that this movie burned so much money that nothing could be made at all.

If you give him 5000 million, he doesn't know what he will shoot, but he firmly believes that it will definitely be better than this "Godzilla".

However, after he watched "Godzilla" from beginning to end, all the director's previous doubts about "Godzilla" disappeared without a trace.

At this time, he was already well-known in the industry, and the reason why he chose to enter the film industry was because he watched "Star Wars" filmed by Lucas.

At that time, he realized that he wanted to be a film director, so he resolutely quit his job as a truck driver and devoted himself to the film industry.

After watching "Godzilla", the director left the theater silently. He neither went to see Alan Ryder Jr. nor met Lin Daoqiu.

The "Godzilla" he watched today really improved his understanding of special effects movies, and made him feel that he must prepare well for the next movie.

At the same time, in the theater in Tokyo, Masami Kurada, who participated in the premiere of "Godzilla" with Yoichi Sakai, seemed to be completely frightened, her eyes were wide open, and she was unwilling to leave Move away from the screen.

"Godzilla" has actually shot many special films in Neon. It stands to reason that these audiences should be more or less immune to "Godzilla".

However, when the "Godzilla" in the movie emerged from the sea, there were screams everywhere, and some people even trembled in shock.

If you compare the "Godzilla" in the previous special movies with the "Godzilla" in the live-action movie, you can say that one is a toy and the other is a real monster.

When the movie ended, the audience in the theater was reluctant to leave, and many people were still reminiscing about the clips they just watched.

At this time, Masami Kurata suddenly turned her head to look at Yoichi Sakai, and then spoke to him seriously.

"Mr. Sakai, I want to join MAG, please take care of me..."

Sakai Yoichi originally planned to test Masami Kurata's attitude on the way back later, and see what he thinks about joining MAG.

But now these temptations are completely unnecessary, because Kurada Masami took the initiative to say that she would join MAG, which is really great news for them.

"Thank you, Mr. Cheda, you will definitely not be disappointed by joining MAG. Believe me, one day, your comics will also appear on the big screen, just like "Godzilla"."

"Then please Mr. Sakai, I am looking forward to that day."

Sakai Yoichi naturally does not have such a great ability, he can adapt Masami Kurata's manga and put it on the big screen.

But Lin Daoqiu can do it, and he has already done it, and it seems that the effect is very good.

If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for Kurada Masami to decide to join MAG.

It can be said that the development of MAG from the beginning to the end is all dependent on Lin Daoqiu's money and his reputation. Without Lin Daoqiu, it is absolutely impossible for MAG to continue to exist.

In North America, Neon, and Xiangjiang, once "Godzilla" was released, it immediately set off a movie-watching craze.

Except for "Godzilla", other movies seem to not exist, and no one wants to patronize them at all.

Alan Ryder Jr. is very glad that he made a very wise choice and cooperated with Lin Daoqiu to co-release the movie "Godzilla".

If this is not the case, I am afraid that the theaters that are currently cooperating with Fox will be empty.

"How much box office do you think "Godzilla" can win in the end?"

The next day, Alan Ryder Jr. called Landry to his office, and the two naturally avoided talking about "Godzilla".

As for the movie "Godzilla", last night Landry also feasted his eyes at the ZG theater, and he was also shocked by the special effects of "Godzilla".

But now if you want to ask him how much box office "Godzilla" can get, Landry is actually not sure about this matter.

At this time, "Godzilla" has occupied half of the movie screens in North America. God knows how much box office this movie can get.

But what Landry can be sure of is that "Godzilla" triggered a movie-watching craze, just like "Star Wars" and "ET Aliens" at the beginning.

He felt that neither of these two films could break the box office of [-] million. Even if "Godzilla" was really better than them, his box office would probably be around [-] million.

After talking about his thoughts with little Alan Ryder, the other party smiled and shook his head.

It seems that Alan Ryder Jr. does not agree with Landry's answer, or he feels that the other party's guess is completely different from what he thinks.

"I think this drama can at least exceed 15 billion..."

When Alan Ryder Jr. said this, Landry was shocked. Even if "Godzilla" was really well shot, it would be unimaginable to get a box office of 15 billion.

In Landry's view, about one billion is the limit of the movie "Godzilla", and it is impossible if it is more.

"How about we make a bet, just bet on a steak..."

A steak meal doesn't cost much, and Landry readily agreed.

In fact, the higher the box office of "Godzilla", it means that Fox is making more and more money.

You must know that almost half of the screens of "Godzilla" are provided by Fox.

"Oh right... I forgot to tell you, I guess Lin Daoqiu will find other people to provide screens for "Godzilla"..."

Originally, Landry thought that the joint release of "Godzilla" by Fox and Universal was already a great thing.

But now he suddenly realized that his thinking seemed a bit too conservative.
