On the morning of August 5th, Sun Peng met two groups of people in succession.
Capoka's collaboration is the longest, so the meeting is just a routine to maintain the relationship. As for Heymens, the uniqueness of "Night at the Museum" lies in the plot and setting. In fact, the filming is not too big.
However, when meeting with Heymens staff, Sun Peng specifically told the other party that if he wanted to achieve high box office, he must not be too stingy.
The museum should not be chosen too small, and the scene should not be too simple, etc.
The people at Heymens Pictures naturally keep this in mind. After all, the box office of "Inception" of US$1.3 billion is right in front of us!
Lao Bai is best at writing big scripts, this has now become a consensus.
So after chatting with the people from Kaboca for two hours in the morning, and then having lunch with the people from Heymens, they all left with satisfaction. Lao Bai made it clear that he would continue to cooperate with the two companies and gave them food.
A reassurance.
The afternoon is reserved for the premiere.
On the way to the premiere, Liu Chang said to Sun Peng with a happy face: "The domestic box office of "Terminator 2" on the first day is out, 240 million Chinese dollars, a great result!"
"Oh, not bad!"
After listening to Liu Chang's words, Sun Peng's eyes suddenly lit up.
Compared with those super masterpieces that easily earn 600-700 million yuan on the first day, the results of more than 200 million yuan are certainly not impressive, a little worse than "Inception". But Sun Peng knows that "Terminator 2" should be as good as "Inception".
Like "Space", after it gets a huge reputation, it will be shown on a long-term basis.
Inception only had 8.9 billion in its first weekend, but after four weeks it had more than 4 billion!
Sure enough, after checking in, Liu Chang continued: "The reputation is very good, and the ratings given by fans are also very high. It is basically on the same level as "Inception"... Haha, you said "Terminator 2" will not be released in China
Also get 5 billion in box office, right?”
As he talked, Liu Chang suddenly became happy.
After looking at her, Sun Peng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Haha, why not?"
"Forehead……"
Seeing Sun Peng's expression at this time, Liu Chang was stunned.
He is very familiar with his boss, so he knows very well that this guy is not joking at this moment, but really believes that "Terminator 2" can get a domestic box office of 5 billion Chinese dollars!
only……
How is that possible?!
None of Lao Bai's previous movies could have a domestic box office of over 50, and none of them had won the annual championship. This has become a regular black spot used by blacks. This time "Inception" will definitely
Crossing the 5 billion mark is already very surprising. Anyway, Liu Chang never dared to think that "Terminator 2" could also break 50.
If added up, that would be a total of 10 billion Chinese coins!
Just like Liu Chang is familiar with Lao Bai, Sun Peng is also very familiar with this assistant. When he saw her expression, he knew what Liu Chang was thinking. He immediately laughed and said: "Haha, Sister Chang, people always have to have some dreams."
Otherwise, what is the difference between it and salted fish? Everyone thinks that the box office of "Inception" must be better than "Terminator 2", but to be honest, I think the t800 may be more powerful..."
…
The Los Angeles premiere of "Terminator 2" is naturally not as star-studded and full of big names as the premiere of "Inception" in China.
This is a bit like the treatment of the two movies in China.
Although the screenwriters of the two movies are both Lao Bai, one of their directors is Chen Cheng, the "first person in science fiction" in China, and the other is the little-known Wei Xiaolin. Don't look at the fact that Wei Xiaolin has co-directed two movies with Sun Peng.
But both fans and film companies will basically ignore him and give all the credit to Sun Peng.
Not to mention that behind Chen Cheng, there is Chen Feifei standing!
So when "Inception" premiered, it was an exaggeration to say that half of the entertainment industry was involved. After all, there was still a gap compared to "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" back then, but the performance was definitely at the top level.
As for Wei Xiaolin’s behind...
Besides Lao Bai, who else?
So in terms of influence alone, let alone the gap between Wei Xiaolin and Chen Cheng, there is still Feifei Chen in the middle!
Fortunately, an old white man is enough for many times.
For example, when Steve Lucas and Michael Pitt appeared on the red carpet together, the cheers suddenly sounded like thunder, which shocked Sun Peng who was waiting at the gate of the theater.
Blinking his eyes, Sun Peng walked not far behind the red carpet host with great interest and quietly listened to what the two Hollywood tycoons said during the interview.
"Of course, I'm looking forward to this "Terminator 2" very much, especially after watching "Inception", I can't wait to see it!"
…
"I have the same idea as you. I also think Laobai is a genius. From this summer to next summer, there will be four science fiction movies related to him released! "Inception" made a good start, and the next "The End"
2" and "The Martian", I also hope to continue its hot status!"
…
"Hahaha, of course! I certainly hope that "Tomorrow's War" will be the best one, and I also have great confidence. I hope that next summer vacation can bring a successful conclusion to laobai's science fiction series!"
…
"Hi Steve, hi Michael!"
When the two final bosses finished the interview, Sun Peng walked up immediately and hugged the two of them one by one with a happy expression and exchanged greetings.
"Hi Sun, welcome to Los Angeles!"
"Sun, long time no see!"
Steve Lucas and Michael Pitt were naturally very enthusiastic when they met him. While hugging him, they gently patted Sun Peng on the shoulder, smiled and greeted him loudly in his ears.
"Crack! Click!"
At the same time, the shutter sounds around them almost became one!
"Gentlemen, can you look over here?"
As more reporters began to shout, Sun Peng shrugged and nodded at the two Hollywood giants. Then the three of them naturally formed a row and faced the direction where the reporters were gathered.
"Click! Click! Click!..."
Countless flash lights lit up at the same time, causing Sun Peng to squint his eyes subconsciously, while always keeping a smile on his face.
Compared to Sun Peng, Steve Lucas and Michael Pitt were obviously more adaptable to such occasions. In addition to always smiling on their faces, the super director also lightly touched Sun Peng's shoulder and said with a smile.
: "Sun, come here and get closer to us, and keep the smile on your face! Believe me, the photos these people are taking now will be the covers of countless media today..."
