China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 263: Big Tiantian with earthquake pupil
Four hundred and fifty million.

This prediction stunned everyone present.

"No, I just said it wrong. I'll think about it again."

Zhang Yingmou suddenly changed his tone and looked deep in thought.

The people who were frightened by Zhang Yingmou's words just now returned to normal after hearing Zhang Yingmou say that he had to think about it again.

This is right!

Zhang Yingmou must have been excited and said something fast just now.

Unexpectedly, after careful consideration, Zhang Yingmou re-predicted a new box office figure: "I just said it was less. I think Director Li's movie can get more than 500 million at the box office.

This movie is really strong and fully deserves this box office performance. "

"..."

"Director Zhang's words are well-founded."

Based on the quality of "Guandu" directed by Li, the box office will most likely exceed 500 million. "

Can Li Yu's "Guandu" Part 2 really beat this Hollywood disaster blockbuster?

At present, the domestic film market can support movies with a box office of 500 million yuan.

Zhang Yingmou sells Li Yu face like this, so Li Yu naturally has to give others face.

This is five hundred million!
What is the concept of a movie with a box office of 500 million?
Currently, the movie with the highest box office in China is "2012", with a box office of nearly million.

But I dare not make a conclusion as to whether the movie's box office can exceed 500 million.

With Zhang Yingmou’s identity and status, no one can refute it.

Zhang Yingmou looked extremely serious: "The domestic film market is changing with each passing day and developing faster year by year.

So, Li Yu opened his mouth and said: "First of all, thank you Director Zhang for your high praise and love.

New theaters are popping up like mushrooms after a rain, and the domestic film market is now able to support movies with a box office of 500 million.

Everyone, including Da Tiantian Zhou Tao, was shocked.

Next year, Feng Xiaogang's "Earthquake" will have a box office of close to 650 million, and the box office of "Avatar" will reach a frightening 1.3 billion.

The prediction of 450 million is enough to shock everyone's jaws.

After Zhou Tao said this, his eyes turned to Li Yu.

Because what can really affect the performance of this film is the audience from across the country. "

Before everyone could recover, Zhang Yingmou actually revealed an even more astonishing figure.

As a top domestic director, Zhang Yingmou knows the domestic film market very well.

"Director Li, what do you think about Director Zhang's comment that your movie's box office can exceed 500 million?"

Zhou Tao asked for everyone: "Director Zhang, is 500 million a bit too exaggerated? At present, there is no movie in China that has a box office of more than 500 million."

But the person who said that the box office of the second part of "Guandu" can exceed 500 million is the national teacher Zhang Yingmou.

Li Yu's words demonstrated his respect for Zhang Yingmou and also expressed his modest attitude.

In public, Li Yu generally would not say he was unsure.

This time is certainly no exception.

In fact, his inner expectation was similar to Zhang Yingmou's prediction.

"Guandu" is a movie with an investment of 150 million, and the box office must reach at least 450 million to make back the money.

Li Yu's expectation for this movie is more than 500 million.

But, always consider the worst case scenario.

Therefore, Li Yu didn't want to say anything if he might be slapped in the face.

At this point, the premiere of the second part of "Guandu" has been held.

Domestic audiences flocked to theaters to watch the film.

It’s no surprise that this movie has become the movie with the highest number of releases and attendance at the moment.

After the premiere, Li Yu chatted with Zhang Yingmou for a long time under the recommendation of Director Han.

"Director Li, Director Han has already told me that you want to cooperate with me. In fact, I also really want to cooperate with you."

Zhang Yingmou is very direct. He came to the premiere of the second part of "Guandu" today because of Li Yu's script.

It's time for him to make a film that will earn both critical acclaim and box office success to once again consolidate his position.

After "Three Guns" was released, he was criticized miserably by people.

He wants to use a new movie to tell the audience that he is really capable of making a good movie.

Li Yu's script can solve one of his shortcomings.

And as soon as the news of his collaboration with Li Yu spread, the film became famous across the country without any publicity.

"Director Zhang, don't be impatient. Let me think carefully about what kind of story I should write."

Li Yu just said that to Han Dongyi at that time.

He didn't expect that Director Han would really convey those words to Zhang Yingmou and make Zhang Yingmou interested.

If you ask him to come up with a script today, he will definitely not be able to come up with it. He will have to think about it carefully after he goes back.

"Understood, slow work leads to careful work. After watching "Guandu" today, I am really looking forward to Director Li's new script."

Zhang Yingmou replied.

After breaking up with Han director Zhang Yingmou, Da Tiantian got into Li Yu's car.

She flashed her big and lively eyes and said with admiration: "Li Yu, you are really getting better and better now. Cheng Long, Zhang Yingmou, these top guys in the industry want to cooperate with you."

When saying these words, Da Tiantian looked a little proud.

The more successful Li Yu is, the more it proves that she was right to choose Li Yu in the first place.

Li Yu has been working with Da Tiantian for such a long time, and he already knows Da Tiantian well: "Tiantian, you chased me to my car specifically, you shouldn't just be trying to flatter me, right?"

Now that Li Yu had seen through it, Da Tiantian simply stopped pretending and said, "I'm coming here mainly because I want to ask you, do you think our movie box office can exceed 500 million."

If the box office of this movie can really exceed 500 million, that would be amazing.

Da Tiantian can brag to her elders for a while when she returns home.

When faced with such questions in public, Li Yu usually chooses to respond modestly.

There is no need to be so reserved in front of acquaintances like Shi Shi and Da Tiantian.

Li Yu didn't think much and replied directly: "I personally think there is no pressure for the box office to exceed 500 million. Tiantian, you have to trust Director Zhang's judgment. The size of the film market can support this box office.

In the near future, it will not be a problem for the movie box office to exceed one billion, two billion, three billion, or five billion. This is the inevitable result of the development of the times. "

Da Tiantian was shocked.

She has not read the script and has no forward-thinking vision.

At this stage, there are no movies with a box office of over 500 million in China. Li Yu actually said that in the near future, movies with a box office of over 5 billion will be born.

Is Li Yu's judgment a bit too optimistic?

No, this is no longer overly optimistic, this is overly crazy.

Will the development speed of the domestic film market really be that rapid?
Li Yu looked at Da Tiantian who looked in disbelief and said, "Tiantian, go back and read the newspaper. Around two thousand years ago, Renren Daily excitedly published a prediction article, saying that our country's GDP would surpass Sakura country.

Sometimes, even we ourselves don’t know how fast we are progressing.

Compared with the prosperous economy, the film market is too small.

After so many years of rapid economic development, it is the film market's turn to enter a period of rapid growth. "

Li Yu's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Da Tiantian was very convinced.

"Wait a minute... you just said that there may be movies with a box office of billions in China in the future. How much do you think our "The Great Wall" can make at the box office?"

Da Tiantian never forgets her "The Great Wall".

The reason why Li Yu favored her before was that the film market was too small and the special effects technology was not mature enough. Now there is a high probability that the film would be a loss.

She wanted to know what Li Yu's psychological expectations were for the movie "The Great Wall".

"It will take at least 12 years to make this movie. By then, I am confident that the box office of this movie will exceed billion."

Li Yu said with confidence.

Da Tiantian's pupils were shocked when she heard that number.
