Hu Shuo's response was very domineering. Not only did he confirm the investment of US$500 million, but also, judging by his tone, US$500 million should be a conservative estimate.
The American reporter shrugged angrily.
"Mr. Hu, with such a large investment budget for "Titanic", if you want to recover the cost, I'm afraid it will cost 10 billion at the box office. The current box office record in Chinese film history is only 6.8 billion. It seems like this is a stable loss.
Aren’t you worried about losing money if you don’t make a profit?”
Another reporter asked a question.
At present, the movie with the highest domestic box office is "Hero", with a revenue of 6.8 billion.
This movie was released four years ago, and the reason why it has achieved such a high box office is not only the outstanding quality of the movie itself, but also an objective factor, that is, the release cycle of "Hero" is as long as three months, and due to
This movie won awards abroad, so when it was released in China, it had its own halo. This created a box office miracle in the history of Chinese film.
This box office record has been maintained to this day. When "I'm Not the God of Medicine" became a hit at the box office, there was some question as to whether it would break the box office record of "Hero". However, in the end, the gap between the two was still quite big.
This shows how difficult it is to break the box office record of "Hero".
"Records are meant to be broken!"
"A box office of 10 billion is not impossible!"
Hu Shuo replied confidently.
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
10 billion box office!
This number is really shocking!
The box office of "Hero" is 6.8 billion. If the box office is 10 billion, it will not only break the box office record of "Hero", but also exceed 3.2 billion!!
At present, China's film market does not seem to be that large, and US$1 billion for a single film should be the upper limit.
Therefore, when Hu Shuo confidently announced the box office target of 10 billion, everyone was shocked.
"Mr. Hu, is the 10 billion box office target too high?"
Someone raised doubts.
"I didn't say that 10 billion box office is my goal..."
Hu Shuo smiled.
Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, many of the reporters present were fans of Hu Shuo. They did not want news that was unfavorable to Hu Shuo to appear. If Hu Shuo really claimed a box office of 10 billion,
Target, those "humiliators" will definitely use this as a theme to ridicule and ridicule.
It might be better if Hu Shuo's goal is to break the record of "Hero". After all, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has a bottom-line box office performance. It's normal for Hu Shuo to call out a record-breaking goal. If it's 10 billion, it's
What an exaggeration!
However, just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief for Hu Shuo, they heard him continue: "How could my goal be only 10 billion? As the reporter friend just said, if the box office is 10 billion, "Titanic" has just
It’s just to recover the production cost, and of course my goal is to make a profit, so 10 billion is just the bottom line in my mind. This time, the target global market of "Titanic" and its box office will be decided by the audiences around the world.
Bar!"
Wow~!
As soon as Hu Shuo said this, everyone in the audience was shocked.
This is too crazy!
10 billion is actually the bottom line!
It’s gone! Hu Shuo is completely gone!
This bragging is too much!
This time Hu Shuo is going to shoot himself in the foot!
After a while, the scene became quiet.
"Mr. Hu, the bottom line of 10 billion box office, are you kidding me?"
A reporter said.
"I do like to joke, but joking depends on the occasion. I will not joke on such occasions."
Hu Shuo shrugged.
"Mr. Hu, are you so confident? What if the box office of "Titanic" does not reach 10 billion??"
Another reporter asked.
"I really haven't thought about this problem before."
Hu Shuo pondered for a moment: "Forget it, this possibility is too low, so I still don't want to think about it!"
reporter:"……"
mad!
So crazy!!
Many people complained silently in their hearts.
Nowadays, some foreign reporters can’t wait to write articles and send them back to their respective media outlets. One of the favorite things most foreign media outlets like to do is to ridicule Chinese artists or film and television companies.
But this time Hu Shuo actually shouted the slogan of a box office bottom line of 10 billion. The foreign reporters present should not be too excited.
A Chinese person shouted out the slogan of a box office of more than one billion without any shame. What a good target for ridicule and satire!
"Mr. Hu, since the total investment of "Titanic" is as high as 500 million US dollars, why did you choose Winslet next to you as the heroine? I heard that she is just a newcomer and has not appeared in any film before.
Played a leading role in a movie or TV series."
A reporter brought the topic to Winslet. In fact, when the starring cast of "Titanic" was announced, the domestic media immediately checked the information of the actress named Winslet, but found nothing.
, I can’t find any works in which she starred.
"It seems that your information is not accurate. Winslet is not a newcomer. She has filmed more than 100 works. Although she has not played the leading role in those works, she has given the most exciting performance in every film.
performance.”
"During the casting process, I interviewed some actors, and Winslet was the best among them. I believe her name will become internationally famous in the near future. Let's wait and see!"
Hu Shuo responded with a smile.
Winslet has indeed filmed more than 100 movies. Although they are all minor roles, her acting experience is real.
Although Hu Shuo's words were very beautiful, the reporters present were all veterans. They immediately understood Winslet's identity. Before that, she should have been just a small actor.
A movie with an investment of 500 million U.S. dollars was cast as the heroine by a minor actor. This move by Hu Shuo is really puzzling.
"Winslet, have you reached some kind of agreement with your boss?"
A foreign reporter asked bluntly, obviously he meant there was some ulterior deal between the two!
The finger of blame was suddenly pointed at herself. Winslet was startled at first. After all, this was her first time to participate in such a grand event.
However, Winslet's reaction was not slow and she immediately replied: "My boss and I have indeed reached an agreement..."
Wow!
Everyone in the audience was shocked, with shocked expressions on their faces. Could it be that the unspoken rules were just accepted?
But Winslet continued: "I am serious about filming, and he pays me!"
