Although he did not give a clear and positive answer, this answer already made Zhou Xingxing very satisfied.
"Okay, I'll send it right away. Thank you very much, Mr. Li."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jin found the report about "Shaolin Football" that had been sent by Jinqing Entertainment Group.
Good guy, the production cost was 40 million, and the box office in Hong Kong City alone was 80 million.
Li Jin remembered that in his previous life, this figure was about 60 million. The reason why it can exceed 20 million this time should be the benefits brought by Jinqing Entertainment Group's behind-the-scenes operations.
With this kind of performance, the box office in other regions around the world will not be less in the future.
In addition, in the previous life, "Shaolin Football" could not be released in the mainland, but this time with the help of Huayi Brothers Media, it is obvious that it will be released in the mainland. Tomorrow is the mainland premiere.
"Sure enough, you can still make a lot of money by making movies."
Think about it, I invested 10 million US dollars in Zhou Xingxing. With this movie alone, after excluding the production fees and publicity fees, as well as the share for theaters and distributors, I can probably recoup most of the cost.
Li Jin was in a good mood and became increasingly optimistic about the prospects of the entertainment industry. The next day, Li Jin went to Hudan University to pick up Tang Yingruan.
In her previous life, the little girl loved to watch Zhou Xingxing's movies, and she even talked to Li Jin about why she owed him a movie ticket. So whenever a movie featuring Zhou Xingxing was released in the mainland, she would definitely drag Li Jin along.
Let’s go see it together.
This sentiment is shared by most people born in the 1980s in Mainland China.
So this time, Li Jin didn't forget her either.
"Is it true? Brother Jin, is it true? Can you really go to the premiere?"
"Actually, my classmates and I have known the news for a long time. This is the first time for a movie to be released in mainland China. Many students are planning to queue up all night to buy movie tickets after the official release!"
Listening to Tang Ying's excited voice, Li Jin smiled.
On the one hand, it is something that can make Tang Ying happy, and there is nothing wrong with doing it.
On the other hand, it can be seen from the performance of Tang Ying and her classmates that "Shaolin Football" will definitely make a lot of money this time.
Whether it's the quality of Shaolin football or Zhou Xingxing's golden signature, as well as the affection of mainlanders for this master, it's enough to guarantee that a box office miracle will be born.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Li Jin said with a smile.
"Brother Jin, will there be many celebrities later?" Tang Ying asked nervously.
Li Jin thought for a while. He had never attended a premiere like this before, but he had seen it in various entertainment news in his previous life. Usually the organizer would invite some friends and celebrities in the circle to help out.
What's more, both Huayi Brothers in the Mainland and Jinqing Entertainment in Hong Kong attach great importance to this premiere. It is regarded as an official attempt for Hong Kong films to enter the mainland market, so the spectacle should not be small.
"It should be possible." Li Jin nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"I'm so nervous." Tang Ying said softly.
"Celebrities are human beings too, so why be nervous? They might want to please you when the time comes." Li Jin said with a smile.
According to Li Jin's current status in the entertainment circles of the two places, saying this is definitely not a boast.
Tang Ying didn't understand that much, so she just thought it was Brother Jin making fun of her.
The car quickly drove to the scheduled location, Jinhui International Cinema.
As the earliest movie theater chain in China that is backed by a state-owned enterprise, Jinhui can be considered the most high-end movie theater currently available.
