Even more surprised than the movie fans was Lou Jianjun.
Maybe domestic movie fans are more concerned about "The Gift of Room No. 7" winning the daily box office title in Peninsula.
But Lou Jianjun knows the significance of "The Gift of Room No. 7" getting such first-day viewership on Peninsula.
In fact, not to mention Lou Jianjun, even Peninsula Pictures, as the initiator, did not expect such a result at all.
You know, "The Gift of Room No. 7" was released on Peninsula, and the publicity was not particularly large.
Just under the title "The Gift of Room No. 7", it moved tens of millions of viewers to tears in China and achieved box office results of 57 billion peninsula yuan.
Of course, what is more exaggerated is that during the promotion, the film's director Li Yi was promoted, and the cumulative box office in China exceeded 6 trillion peninsula yuan.
This number is extremely exaggerated!
Therefore, although the promotion of "The Gift of Room No. 7" is not that overwhelming, Li Yi's legendary experience and the box office of more than 6 trillion have attracted the attention of many Peninsula audiences.
But they didn't expect that "The Gift from Room No. 7" would be so popular!
And it crushed other movies released at the same time, which is outrageous anyway!
What’s even more outrageous is that this news spread to China.
A movie made a few years ago suddenly told everyone that it was released on the peninsula and even won the top spot at the Japanese box office.
Countless media wanted to interview Li Yi, but Li Yi had no intention of accepting the interview.
At this time, CCTV Movie Channel sent an invitation to Li Yi and wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with Li Yi.
This is hard to refuse.
The reporter sent by the movie channel is named Bao Qianqian.
The interview was arranged in the office of Li Yi's film company.
"Director Li, congratulations to "The Gift of Room No. 7" for continuing to lead the Peninsula movie rankings at the box office."
Yes, after exceeding 150,000 moviegoers on the first day, the number of moviegoers mobilized by "The Gift of Room 7" increased again on the second day, continuing to lead the box office rankings.
Moreover, this movie surprised many Peninsula filmmakers, because they even felt that if this movie was dubbed by Peninsula, many people would think it was a local movie from Peninsula.
This is also the reason why "The Gift of Room No. 7" can get such high box office.
At the same time, Peninsula Pictures also mobilized their connections and recruited many celebrities in the Peninsula film industry to support the film.
In addition, "The Gift from Room No. 7" has an excellent reputation, so it has achieved such results!
Back to the interview.
"Thank you!" Li Yi thanked with a smile.
"Director Li, have you ever thought about the fact that the film "The Gift of Room No. 7" could achieve such good results in Peninsula?" Bao Qianqian asked.
"Of course not, I'm quite surprised." Li Yi shook his head.
After chatting about "The Gift from Room No. 7", Bao Qianqian suddenly changed the subject to "Moving forward with a heavy burden".
"Director Li, it is understood that when Midan Films initially wanted to cooperate with you in the development of "Carrying a Heavy Duty", why did it end up with Gao Le Films?" Bao Qianqian asked.
"Because the terms of cooperation were not agreed upon, Midan Pictures hoped to jointly invest in and develop "Carrying a Heavy Load", and I personally preferred to buy out the copyright. However, the bids between the two parties were very different in this regard, so in the end, there was no
Cooperation can be achieved." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Why did you refuse to jointly develop "Moving forward with a heavy load"? Do you have any concerns? Or are you still not optimistic about this project?" Bao Qianqian looked confused.
"Of course it's not that I'm not optimistic about this project, it's mainly because I'm afraid!" Li Yi's answer was somewhat beyond Bao Qianqian's expectations.
"Afraid?" Bao Qianqian looked stunned. She never expected that this was the reason why Li Yi didn't want to cooperate with Damien Pictures.
"Yes, because this is to cooperate with a Hollywood film company, and we have no foundation there, so there is no guarantee that this investment will get the return it deserves. Do you know the movie "Moyun Tower"?
"Li Yi suddenly asked.
"You know, how come?" Bao Qianqian wondered why Li Yi suddenly asked about this movie.
"This movie is very successful. The box office in North America exceeds 200 million and the global box office exceeds 400 million US dollars. What's interesting is that one of the investors of this movie, an investment company from Wall Street, sued the film's producer.
The movie was a hit, but they didn't get a penny of the profit!" Li Yi said with a smile.
"How... is this possible?" Bao Qianqian looked stunned.
"Yes, how is this possible, but it is a fact, because the book profit of this movie is negative!" Li Yi said with a faint smile.
What Li Yi said is true. You only need to investigate this matter to find out.
Bao Qianqian obviously knew that Li Yi could not talk nonsense about this kind of thing, but this still made Bao Qianqian feel subversive.
It’s outrageous that for a blockbuster movie, investors didn’t get any profits and instead lost a large amount of their investment money.
(This is not a fiction, do you dare to imagine that "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" suffered a book loss of US$167 million, and the main creative staff who signed a "net profit sharing" agreement with Warner did not receive a single cent!)
Bao Qianqian came to her senses and did not continue to discuss this topic. Instead, she asked a question that countless people were particularly curious about.
"So why did the copyright go to Gao Le Film and Television?"
No wonder everyone is curious. The main reason is that the relationship between Cao Zhenqun of Gao Le Film and Television and Li Yi is well known. How could Li Yi sell the copyright to Gao Le Film and Television?
"This is a rather sad story!" Li Yi spread his hands and said.
"Uh? Sad?" Bao Qianqian looked confused.
"Yes, in fact, the person who came to buy the copyright was a North American film and television company, Sapphire Pictures! We specially investigated this company. It was just a leather goods company. We were not particularly eager to sell it at first, but the price they offered was too much.
There are too many." Li Yi said.
"Then why is it a sad story?" Bao Qianqian asked.
"Because I never thought about selling the copyright to domestic film companies at first. Although I don't like Gaole Film and Television, after all, they are all Chinese companies. I still can't bear to see domestic companies being taken over by Hollywood companies.
..." Li Yi said with a smile.
"But in the end, I didn't expect that Sapphire Pictures is actually the vest of Gaole Film and Television, so I say this is a sad story!" Li Yi sighed.
Bao Qianqian looked a little weird when she looked at Li Yi's expression.
"What's even sadder than sadness is that Gaole Films and Television reached a cooperation agreement with Damien Films on the back of their hands, and held a high-profile press conference, completely ignoring the risks involved, and instead felt complacent. I can't help but feel proud.
Do you understand what's so satisfying about this?" Li Yi shook his head and laughed.
However, the next moment, Li Yi was stunned.
He felt a little outrageous.
As soon as he finished speaking, Goldfinger was triggered, and a movie called "A Story More Sad Than Sad" appeared in his mind?
