Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2686 Changing Attitude

"One billion box office..."

Maekawa Kiyonori and Okada Shigeru's eyes immediately brightened a lot when they heard this.

If it is really as Lin Daoqiu expected, if the global box office of "Onmyoji" can reach one billion in the end, then they will be conservative and at least get a net income of more than 100 billion yen. It's the biggest film ever made.

It is no exaggeration to say that this amount of money alone is worth their net income from filming in the previous ten years after deducting the cost of the film.

No wonder Dongbao has been able to develop so well in these years. The film income they can get at least from Lin Daoqiu every year is several times as much as their own, let alone Dongbao has other income. Comparing the two, even Shochiku and Toei are far from being Toho's opponent.

When they were still worrying about how to raise funds to make movies, Dongbao was simply rich and powerful, and they could shoot whatever they wanted. This is the reason why Shochiku and Toei are being suppressed more and more fiercely.

"Does Mr. Lin think "Onmyoji" will do well at the box office in North America?"

Although Okada Shigeru was very excited about Lin Daoqiu's speculation, he gradually calmed down.

If "Onmyoji" is going to be a big hit, even if it is the best at the neon box office, it will be about 200 billion, but it is different in North America. If it can get [-] million or [-] million box office in North America Income, Lin Daoqiu's prediction can basically be confirmed to be true.

Lin Daoqiu shook his head. In fact, he was not sure how much box office "Onmyoji" could get when it was released in North America, but he felt that this kind of novel foreign theme plus special effects blockbuster, even if North Americans couldn't understand it, the inside Xiang Jiang was invited to be in charge of the action design, and the fighting will definitely not be too bad.

Under such circumstances, even if it is not as popular as "Godzilla" and "1992", at least there will be a lot of audiences who are willing to buy tickets and enter the arena to try newcomers. With their own name blessings, most of the audience Even if you are not interested at the beginning, after word of mouth ferments, it will attract many people to buy tickets and enter the venue.

"It's not very good, but it should be at an upper-middle level."

Lin Daoqiu was very cautious. Although he felt that there should be no problem with "Onmyoji", he didn't say anything serious.

Shigeru Okada and Kiyoshi Maekawa also nodded after listening, but compared to before, their thoughts were obviously much more optimistic.

If "Onmyoji" can really get a box office of one billion in the end, it will get a huge amount of money for them, which can solve a lot of troubles in their hands, and a lot of plans that have accumulated before Execution can be restarted.

"Mr. Lin, please don't worry, Shochiku and Toei will do their best to get the promotion of "Onmyoji" to the end, even if it's just the two of us doing it in person."

Qian Chuanqing expressed his attitude in front of Lin Daoqiu first, and Okada Shigeru next to him did not hesitate, and he also hurriedly spoke.

"I'll go back right now and ask someone to readjust the promotional strategy. Even if it lasts all night, we must make the promotion of "Onmyoji" perfect."

After Okada Shigeru finished speaking, he stood up.

Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything, just looked at Maekawa Kiyoshi and Okada Shigeru and nodded with a smile.

Shigeru Okada, the little old man, usually seems to be a very cautious and calm person, but he did not expect that he would show the aggressiveness of a young man when it comes to this kind of time. After all, who doesn't like money, Toei has worked so hard these years, To be able to get such a large amount of income is definitely a timely help for them, and it is sad that Shigeru Okada will be excited.

Watching Shigeru Okada leave, Kiyoshi Maekawa couldn't help but said with a smile.

"It's rare to see Mr. Okada so happy. Before, he didn't quite understand investing such a large amount of money in the promotion of "Onmyoji", but now it seems that he has understood."

Qian Chuanqing was not saying bad things about Shigeru Okada, but he felt that he and Lin Daoqiu were obviously closer than Mao Okada. After all, he knew Lin Daoqiu earlier than Shigeru Okada, and he was in Lin Daoqiu. The attitude in front of him is much softer than that of Okada Shigeru, not as hard as a stinky stone like Okada Shigeru.

"Mr. Okada's enthusiasm for movies is unmatched by us. I think you should learn from him sometimes. After all, even if Shochiku and Toei have joined the Asian theater chain, there will be competition in addition to cooperation in the future. , if you lose to Mr. Okada at that time, I'm afraid you won't be able to face it."

Shochiku and Maekawa Kiyoshi did not pay attention to Okada Shigeru and his Toei from the very beginning, because they focused on completely different points, and there was a common opponent who was too strong to treat them as opponents, Toho .

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for two people to be stupid enough to kill each other at this time, which is obviously impossible.

But now after hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Qian Chuanqing suddenly remembered that there is indeed such a possibility. Don't look at him and Okada Shigeru are very close now. It was the two of them who came forward to negotiate and deal with it.

But once Dongbao gradually declines in the future, or the two of them gradually rise, there may inevitably be competition in addition to cooperation. Under such circumstances, Lin Daoqiu will definitely not take the initiative to help them. At this time It depends on their abilities.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Lin, what do you think I should do?"

Qian Chuanqing, on the other hand, relied on Lin Daoqiu and turned his head to look at Lin Daoqiu in surprise.

Originally, this kind of thing should be thought of by oneself, but Maekawa Kiyoshi wanted to find a shortcut here. This guy is too sophisticated.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Lin Daoqiu did not take the initiative to give Qian Chuanqing an idea, and it is impossible for him to help the other party plan the way to go in the future, but it is still possible to give a little advice. The most important thing is that Qian Chuanqing has his own ideas, otherwise Lin Daoqiu will be fine. It is useless to point out that the other party did not or could not do it.

"Special effects movies are a big trend in the future, but the production cost is too expensive. The production cost of neon movies probably fluctuates from hundreds of millions to billions of yen. In addition to special effects movies, I think more still need to be released. into the production of local films."

Maekawa Kiyonori's idea did not come as a big surprise, but the neon market is a very special place, and it is obviously impossible to expect him to have any novel tricks or whimsical ideas.

"Think about it for yourself. Anyway, it's still early, and you still have a lot of time."

Lin Daoqiu patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then walked out.
