Chapter 2651: One Billion Box Office
Chapter 2651 1 billion box office
"Mr. Lin, what box office record do you think "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Locking Demon Tower" will create?" When Lin Feng walked out of the cinema, he was immediately surrounded by many reporters. As for Tsui Hark and Wang Jing who passed by, not many reporters paid attention to them.
"Director Xu, with the presence of Mr. Lin, we are much more relaxed." Wang Jing joked, "Now we don't need to worry about the disturbance of reporters at all."
"Haha, I know you like the attention of fluorescent lights, but I don't. For me, making a good movie is more important than being noticed. I think it's good now. Without the disturbance of reporters, I can focus all my attention on the movie." Tsui Hark laughed.
Wang Jing shrugged and left with a strange laugh.
"Mr. Lin, you once said that "Chinese Paladin" would surpass "Lord of the Rings". Is this true? According to current statistics, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has grossed 2.4 billion US dollars worldwide. And now, "Chinese Paladin: Fairy Tale" has only grossed less than 150 million US dollars worldwide. Can these two movies catch up with "Lord of the Rings"? If not, what do you think, Mr. Lin?" Many reporters asked Lin Feng. One sharper question after another was thrown out.
Faced with the questions of many reporters, Lin Feng laughed.
"I didn't expect everyone to remember what I said. Yes, I said that "Chinese Paladin" would be China's "Lord of the Rings". I also once boasted that I would surpass the box office of "Lord of the Rings" and create a legend in the Chinese box office. These are what I said. Since I said it, I will not deny it." Lin Feng smiled slightly, "I believe that the box office of "Chinese Paladin: Fairy Tale" will exceed 300 million US dollars at least!"
300 million US dollars! Many Chinese reporters were naturally shocked. This box office record is already a Chinese box office record. If it can really reach this point, it will be a record moment in the history of Chinese movies.
Unfortunately, compared with the shock of Chinese reporters, Western reporters were full of sneers.
"Mr. Lin, if it is only 300 million US dollars, then including the first part, it is only 450 million US dollars. Compared with the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, it is just a fraction. The difference is not a little bit, but 2 billion US dollars! May I ask, how can Mr. Lin make up for the gap of 2 billion US dollars?" A Western reporter asked sharply.
"Haha, this question, I think it's very simple to get up, and I will give everyone an answer in the third part. The "Legend of Sword and Fairy" trilogy has the most grand momentum, the most spectacular scenes, and the most tortuous plots in the third part. And in this third part, I believe that the global box office will sweep "Lord of the Rings"!" Lin Feng said proudly.
Wow! All reporters were shocked.
Lin Feng was too arrogant, and his remarks were too presumptuous. They actually claimed that the third film would surpass The Lord of the Rings. Doesn't that mean that the third film would have to earn at least $2 billion in box office worldwide? This is probably worse than the current box office champion Titanic. Is this possible?
Many Western reporters absolutely don't believe it.
"Mr. Lin, you won't pay for people to watch the movie to improve the box office performance!" A Western reporter mocked.
"Nonsense! How could Fengshen be so mean and boring? He would never do such a boring thing. He said he could do it, so The Legend of Sword and Fairy must be able to do it." The Chinese reporter immediately retorted.
In the past, facing such a scene, Chinese reporters would sometimes follow Western reporters to make a fuss, because there are many Chinese officials and entrepreneurs who always like to make satellites, speak without drafts, and brag completely. But now, Chinese reporters will no longer make a fuss. Because Lin Feng is not an ordinary person, he never makes satellites and never brags. Moreover, Lin Feng has always been patriotic, a typical nationalist. Although Lin Feng did not give similar patriotic lectures, everyone became patriotic under Lin Feng's subtle influence. Become nationalist.
Now some foreign journalists are mocking Lin Feng. They naturally want to defend China's pride, which is the national spirit cultivated by Lin Feng. Of course, there are also some moralists and some old antiques who accuse Lin Feng of harming the country and the people, and dragging the country into the abyss of destruction. And these people accuse Lin Feng of not being nationalist at all, but pure will of the God of Wind, which is a will similar to Hitler.
Regardless of what will this spirit is, the Chinese are very united now. This is good news for all Chinese journalists.
"Okay, everyone, whether "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can surpass "The Lord of the Rings", I think we can see the result after the third part comes out." Lin Feng said with a smile.
Many Western journalists booed.
"The God of Wind is mighty!" Faced with the boos of Western journalists, Chinese journalists naturally supported Lin Feng and shouted "The God of Wind is mighty".
Lin Feng laughed. It seems that he has not lived in vain these years. With the support of so many journalists, he is not nothing in China.
Of course, Lin Feng did not use the power of "News Corporation" to suppress these Western journalists. Otherwise, these Western journalists would not be so presumptuous. The reason why Lin Feng did this was actually very simple. If you suppress blindly, it will be useless. The more you suppress, the stronger the backlash will be. Although letting these journalists attack freely is a bit unpleasant for Lin Feng, it can greatly enhance the popularity of his company.
For example, this time, Lin Feng believes that tomorrow the entire West will laugh at him, his arrogance, and his big words, but so what, at least it will be the best publicity for "Legend of Sword and Fairy: The Demon Locking Tower." As for whether "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will not do well at the box office due to bad reviews, Lin Feng is not worried at all. First of all, there is no Eastern fantasy theme like "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in the West. Of course, the West has also introduced some in the past, but those were shoddy, low-cost movies that did not look like Eastern magic, but Eastern ghost stories. It is strange that Westerners would be willing to watch such movies.
But his own "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a super masterpiece, a masterpiece whose investment is no lower than that of Western Hollywood blockbusters. Lin Feng believes that its majestic momentum will shock all Westerners. What's more, Lam Feng still controls "News Corporation". Now Lam Feng does not have any instructions, so "News Corporation" has complete freedom of expression and does not care about Lam Feng's attitude at all. And if Lin Feng gives the order, then "News Corporation" will definitely burst out with amazing energy and create the largest advertising campaign for "Legend of Sword and Fairy: The Demon Locking Tower".
The next day, as Lin Feng expected, the domestic media was full of praise for "Legend of Sword and Fairy", while the foreign media unanimously criticized it. Of course, regarding the content of the movie, the Western media did not have much offensive content. , because many media have never watched "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and cannot attack it if they want to. Therefore, they can only target Lin Feng's big words and use Lin Feng's boast that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has surpassed "Lord of the Rings" at the global box office as an excuse to attack him. Accused Lin Feng of talking nonsense, accused Lin Feng of talking nonsense.
"Boss, are you really saying that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will surpass "Lord of the Rings" at the box office?" Tsui Hark called early in the morning. There was shock on the phone.
"Haha, yes, I once said it boldly, so I can't deny it, right?" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Tsui Hark was speechless. He left early yesterday and went to bed when he got back. After all, after working hard for so long, it’s time to take a rest. As a result, when I woke up in the morning, I received a call saying that Lam Feng had said that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" had surpassed "Lord of the Rings" at the global box office. Tsui Hark fainted on the spot. He has been under a lot of pressure while filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy". After all, with such a large investment and national expectations, how can he not be under a lot of pressure?
He originally wanted to make movies quietly and dare not do anything. As a result, Lin Feng came up with such a move, and one can imagine the pressure on him. If he spent the money of "Lord of the Rings" but could not get the effect of "Lord of the Rings", he would be ashamed to see Jiang Dong's father.
"Haha, Director Xu, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just shoot how you want. All in all, just make it as perfect as possible. I have always believed in a saying - as long as you work hard, an iron rod can be ground into a needle!" Lin Feng Xiao said, "So, you don't have to worry too much, just concentrate on shooting. If it really doesn't work, I'll take care of everything." Lin Feng said comfortingly.
Tsui Hark was speechless. Lin Feng's words were naturally upright, but if it really happened, he would be the first. But now that Lin Feng's words have been released, he can't let Lin Feng take them back. Then there is no choice but to bite the bullet. ,
I hope "Legend of Sword and Fairy: The Demon Locking Tower" can do better at the box office.
I wonder if it was Tsui Hark's prayers that came to fruition. In Tsui Hark's opinion, "Legend of Sword and Fairy: The Demon Locking Tower" was originally just the second part of a trilogy that connected the past and foreshadowed the future. The venue was actually full, and the audience was full every time. The domestic box office revenue in a week was as high as 1 billion yuan.
1 billion yuan, this is simply an earth-shattering box office revenue, which exceeds the domestic box office performance of any movie, and this is only the performance of "Legend of Sword and Fairy: The Demon Locking Tower" in the first week.
All film critics and reporters, especially Western reporters, were shocked by this achievement. Although this 1 billion yuan, converted into US dollars, is less than 200 million US dollars, which is still far from the box office of "Lord of the Rings", but it is really terrifying. This is only the first week!
Why were there such horrific results in the first week? Western reporters were unconvinced and accused Lin Feng of being deceitful and using his influence in China to let all audiences go to theaters to watch the movie.
This is a false result! ——Major Western media outlets have denounced it.
