"Tangshan Earthquake" is a thing of the past, Li Qian threatened to break the 1.3 billion box office record of "Avatar" this year!"
"Li Qian made a shocking statement that his next movie will surpass "Avatar"!"
"This afternoon, at the celebration conference for "I Am Legend" setting a new domestic film box office record, Li Qian expressed his intention to regain the box office record in the mainland film market on behalf of domestic films!"
"One billion is not the goal, and "Avatar" is not the end. Li Qian has already set his sights on two billion or three billion!"
...
Almost immediately after the celebration party ended, and before the next day, the media that night reported frantically on Li Qian's bold words at the press conference.
Even the record-breaking "I Am Legend" that should have been the main topic became secondary.
There is no way, Li Qian's words are too big.
That is the record of "Avatar", with a box office of over 1.3 billion.
When the domestic box office cap was still 400 million, "Avatar" grossed 1.3 billion at the box office, sweeping the film market in January, February and March.
This is more than a week after its release. In order to protect the domestic blockbuster "Confucius", China Film and Television removed "Avatar" from 80% of 2D screens and only released it on 3D and IMAX screens. Otherwise, if it was also released on 2D screens, the box office would be
I don’t know what a terrifying number we will reach again.
Moreover, it is not just a series of numbers. The influence caused by "Avatar" is not much worse than that of Big Ship back then. It even once caused the profession of scalpers to revive in the film industry.
Since 2006, there have been almost no scalpers doing movie ticket business. The last time there were scalpers was when "The City of Gold" was released. Although the movie was average, on the first weekend of its release, the location in the big city was good.
Cinema and movie tickets are still hard to get.
In 2007, "Report" and "Assembly" were released. Although they were two blockbusters, they were still separated by a few days, and the combined lineup of the two movies was not as good as that of Zhang Yimou, who was at his peak.
But it was also after "Golden Armor" that Zhang Yimou began to decline.
"Avatar", which has made ticket sellers rampant, is undoubtedly the movie that caused the biggest sensation last year, and even in the past ten years. It has only been less than a year, and everyone remembers the grand occasion and power when it was released.
However, Li Qian actually said directly that the next movie is going to hit the box office record of "Avatar", so how can he not make the media excited and climax.
Not only the media, but also ordinary viewers and netizens, when they saw the news for the first time, they were just like the reporters at the press conference. They were stunned for a moment. Then when they looked at the video of the press conference, Li Qian spoke clearly and his tone was not like that.
Joking, with a serious face and a familiar smile.
This is true and not fabricated by unscrupulous media!
After realizing that these were really Li Qian's words, the audience became excited.
"Holy shit, watching the video, it's really what Li Qian said. I really thought it was a reporter bragging again."
"Did Li Qian take the wrong medicine? "I Am Legend" is still in theaters, but the next movie is about to surpass "Avatar"?"
"I guess he didn't wake up, and I suspect he was kidnapped by reporters, otherwise he would be able to say such mindless things?"
"I thought I didn't wake up. Li Qian is crazy."
"This is too arrogant. What movie will he make next?"
"I feel like Li Qian has always been very low-key before and never said any big words. Why is he so stupid to say such things this time?"
"Super "Avatar"? After a few hits, the movie is gone. I really don't know how generous it is."
"I suspect someone down there has a gun in his hand, and Li Qian was pointed at the gun (funny.JPG)"
"Well, although I like Li Qian's movies very much, this is too unreliable. Thinking about 1.3 billion is scary."
...
Li Qian's next movie will hit the box office record of "Avatar". This topic has immediately become the most controversial topic on the Internet. Although it has just begun, it has already formed an extensive discussion in various forums and Weibo.
.
Even ordinary spectators who are outsiders and like Li Qian find it outrageous, let alone those in the industry.
Everyone in the industry, whether they are actors, directors, or CEOs of major companies, are also shocked.
"Is Li Qian really crazy, or is he just pretending to be crazy?"
The next morning, Huayang Media, Huang Zhongjun rubbed his head in distress.
The National Day and Lunar New Year stalls failed one after another. Although they made money, they did not meet expectations. Huayang Media's situation was not very good.
Huayang Media is always paying attention to Li Qian's every move.
Without Li Qian, Huayang Media would have dominated the mainland film market now.
"I don't understand either. This doesn't look like his behavior."
Huang Zhongjun also looked puzzled. Although they hated Li Qian very much and wished he would die, they also knew Li Qian sincerely.
Even with personal emotions, I have to admit that apart from his bad temper, Li Qian basically has no shortcomings.
Moreover, Li Qian's bad temper, whether he was criticizing his predecessor Ma Xiaogang before he became famous, or openly having trouble with them, has not had any impact on him.
Because every time we met head-on, the films directed and invested by Li Qian won.
It was Hua Yang and Ma Xiaogang who were embarrassed.
Is it possible that this time will be the same as before, and Li Qian will fulfill his big words again?
The two brothers suddenly had such an idea in their minds, but they felt ridiculous and immediately threw the idea out of their minds.
He couldn't think of a reason for Li Qian to be so arrogant all of a sudden this time. Huang Zhonglei could only say, "Brother, in my opinion, this Li Qian just broke the record. He was dazzled by the box office and thought he could do anything."
"Right."
Huang Zhongjun, who had no other reason, could only nod his head and sneered, "After all, he is a young man. He has surpassed so many great directors in his 20s. If it were me, I would be arrogant."
After talking about Li Qian and Huang Zhonglei's next words, Huang Zhongjun couldn't stop laughing.
"Brother, Ma Xiaogang seems to have some opinions on our actions for the Lunar New Year. He is still blaming us for not communicating the publicity plan to him, and he has already met with people from other companies."
"What?"
Upon hearing the news, Huang Zhongjun immediately sat up straight and raised his voice to a higher pitch, "Didn't I ask you to comfort him?"
"I did what I had to do. Looking at him like that, I'm afraid he really means it this time."
"Don't panic, he won't go to Berna, and the new picture is impossible, let alone other small companies. He doesn't pose much of a threat to us." Huang Zhongjun still said calmly.
"But there is also Guangxian. Wang Changtian was no longer in the capital the day before yesterday, and Song Ge, Wanda's new arrival, also suddenly disappeared."
"Guangxian, Wanda?"
Huang Zhongjun's face looked a little ugly. He was not worried about other companies at all, but these two were exceptions.
Although Guangxian has not made much achievements in the film industry, Ma Xiaogang is needed most, and Ma Xiaogang can best reflect his own value.
The key thing is that Guangxian has already confirmed that it will be listed in the second half of this year. If Wang Changtian is tempted by the shares, Ma Xiaogang's urine quality is really uncertain.
And Wanda also has money.
"His next stop should be Chongqing. Book a ticket for the nearest flight for me." Huang Zhongjun made a decision immediately. At this time, he really had to go find him in person.
"Um."
Huang Zhonglei called his secretary, booked a ticket, and said about another director under his banner, "By the way, brother, Teng Huatao's project has found Wang Jinghua, and Wang Jinghua is now looking for investment everywhere."
"Are they two together? Don't worry about him."
Huang Zhongjun, who was in a bad mood, frowned again, but he had no time to care about Teng Huatao at this time.
.......
Like Huang Zhongjun, most CEOs of other companies think that it is just the arrogance of young people after they succeed, and they secretly despise it and treat it as a joke.
To directors in the industry, Li Qian's talk was not only a big deal, but also ignored everyone and was a humiliation to them.
"Grass!"
Ma Xiaogang, who was far away in the Land of Abundance, was watching the news and blurted out another national curse.
"Who are you looking down on?"
Ma Xiaogang cursed loudly. Although he had been keeping a low profile during this period, it did not mean that his dislike for Li Qian would decrease by half.
Even because the emotions have been kept in the heart and cannot be vented, the disgust and hatred become more and more serious.
"What does it mean to be the first to break one billion? He was the one who broke two billion and three billion!"
In Ma Xiaogang's view, these words bring all the directors together. Doesn't Li Qian mean that he will be the first to break one billion, two billion, three billion, or even break any record? He and others have nothing to do with him.
This is not looking down on other directors!
Ma Xiaogang, who had been holding it in for a week, finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
Facing the interview, he once again attacked Li Qian.
"There must be a limit to madness. Once you have achieved some results, you won't know how high the sky is. If you haven't even reached one billion, you will think about three billion. I advise him to distinguish between dreams and reality, and not to bring what he thinks in dreams into reality." , otherwise, it would be easy to be regarded as a psychopath..."
This time Ma Xiaogang had no scruples. It was obvious that neither the media nor the audience thought Li Qian could do it.
Even if each of Li Qian's movies is higher than the last, it is absolutely impossible for him to have a box office of 1.3 billion this year.
If someone makes a bet on whether a movie will break the record of "Avatar" in a few years, no matter what the odds are, 99% of people will never be able to beat it without thinking.
Li Qian was determined to slap himself in the face this time. What else did Ma Xiaogang have to worry about? He also said harsh words and announced to everyone that he would come back!
"No matter how much box office Li Qian's next movie takes, let me put it here, my next movie will definitely surpass him!"
Ma Xiaogang learned his lesson this time and still didn't say that it would surpass "Avatar". He only said that the next movie would surpass Li Qian's next movie.
Li Qian's next movie will probably be this year if nothing unexpected happens, and his next movie won't be until the end of next year at the earliest, which is a year off. Ma Xiaogang is still very confident.
What's more, this time it's the same theme as "Tangshan Earthquake". After last year's success, this kind of theme is already readily available to Ma Xiaogang.
Ma Xiaogang transformed into Ma Dapao again, and even got into a fight with Li Qian. The reporters at the scene were so excited that their visit was not in vain.
"Is Director Ma confident that his next movie will break the box office record of "Avatar"?" the reporter asked.
"The record will eventually be broken, and everyone will be able to see it in the near future."
Ma Xiaogang did not exaggerate. After this defeat, he knew how to write the word "low-key".
