Chapter 299 A Story More Sad Than Sadness

Lou Jianjun was more surprised than the fans.

Perhaps domestic movie fans are more concerned about "The Gift of Room No. [-]" winning the daily box office champion in the peninsula.

However, Lou Jianjun knew the significance of "The Gift of Room No. [-]" getting such a first-day audience in the peninsula.

In fact, let alone Lou Jianjun, even Peninsula Pictures, as the instigator, did not expect such a result at all.

You know, "The Gift of Room No. [-]" was released on the peninsula, and the promotional efforts were not particularly strong.

Just playing "The Gift of Room No. 570" moved tens of millions of viewers to tears in China and achieved box office results of [-] billion peninsula dollars.

Of course, what is more exaggerated is that during the promotion, Li Yi, the director of this movie, earned a cumulative box office of more than 6 trillion peninsula dollars in China.

This number is super exaggerated!

Therefore, although the promotion of "The Gift of Room No. 6" is not so overwhelming, Li Yi's legendary experience and the box office of more than [-] trillion yuan have attracted the attention of many Peninsula audiences.

But they didn't expect that "The Gift of Room No. [-]" would be so popular!

And it crushed other movies that were released in the same period, which is outrageous anyway!
What's even more outrageous is that this news spread to the country of Hua.

A movie made a few years ago suddenly told everyone that it was released on the peninsula, and it also won the daily box office champion.

Countless media wanted to interview Li Yi one after another, but Li Yi was not in the mood to accept the interview.

At this time, the CCTV movie channel sent an invitation to Li Yi, wanting to do an exclusive interview with Li Yi.

It's not easy to refuse.

The reporter sent by the movie channel is called Bao Qianqian.

The interview was arranged in the office of Li Yi's film company.

"Director Li, congratulations to "The Gift of Room No. [-]" for continuing to lead the peninsula movie rankings at the box office."

Yes, after exceeding 15 viewers on the first day, the number of viewers mobilized by "The Gift in Room No. [-]" increased again on the second day, continuing to lead the box office rankings.

Moreover, this movie has surprised many Peninsula filmmakers, because they even feel that if this movie is replaced by Peninsula dubbing, many people may think it is a Peninsula film.

This is also the reason why "The Gift in Room No. [-]" can get such a high box office.

At the same time, Peninsula Films also mobilized their contacts and recruited many celebrities from the Peninsula film industry to cheer for the film.

In addition, "The Gift of Room No. [-]" has an excellent reputation, so it has such a result!
Back to the interview.

"Thank you!" Li Yi smiled and thanked.

"Director Li, have you ever thought about "The Gift of Room No. [-]" getting such a good result in Peninsula?" Bao Qianqian asked.

"Of course not, I was quite surprised." Li Yi shook his head.

After chatting about "The Gift of Room No. [-]", Bao Qianqian suddenly changed the topic and shifted to the matter of "Forward with Weight".

"Director Li, as far as I know, you were the one that Midan Films wanted to cooperate with in the development of "Forward with Weight" at the beginning, so why did it become Gaole Films and Television in the end?" Bao Qianqian asked.

"Because the terms of cooperation were not negotiated, Midan Films hopes to jointly invest in the development of "Forward with Heavy Loads", and I personally prefer to buy out the copyright, but the bids of the two parties are very different in this regard, so in the end there is no We can reach a cooperation." Li Yi said with a smile.

"Why did you refuse to jointly develop "Forward with Weights"? Do you have any concerns? Still don't like this project?" Bao Qianqian looked puzzled.

"Of course it's not that I don't like this project, but I'm afraid!" Li Yi's answer was somewhat beyond Bao Qianqian's expectations.

"Afraid?" Bao Qianqian looked astonished, she had no idea that Li Yi didn't want to cooperate with Damien Films because of this.

"Yes, because this is to cooperate with a Hollywood film company, and we don't have any roots there, so we can't guarantee that this investment will get the return it deserves. Do you know the movie "Mountain Tower"? " Li Yi asked suddenly.

"I know, why?" Bao Qianqian wondered why Li Yi suddenly asked about this movie.

"This movie was very successful, with a North American box office of more than 2 million and a global box office of more than 4 million US dollars. What's more interesting is that one of the investors of this movie came from a Wall Street investment company, but it sued the movie producer. The movie was a big hit, but they didn't get a single cent of the proceeds!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"How is this possible?" Bao Qianqian was astonished.

"Yeah, 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 the truth, as long as you check this matter, you will know.

Bao Qianqian obviously knew that it was impossible for Li Yi to talk about this kind of thing, but it still made Bao Qianqian feel subversive.

For a blockbuster movie, it turned out that the investors didn't get any profit, and instead lost a large amount of investment money, that's outrageous.

(This is not fiction. How dare you imagine that "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" had a book loss of 1 million US dollars, and the main creators who signed the "net profit sharing" with Warner could not get a share!)

Bao Qianqian came back to her senses, and instead of continuing to discuss this topic, she asked a question that countless people were particularly curious about.

"Then why did the copyright go to Gaole Film and Television?"

No wonder everyone is curious, the main reason is that the relationship between Cao Zhenqun and Li Yi of Gaole Film and Television is well known, how could Li Yi sell the copyright to Gaole Film and Television?

"This is a rather sad story!" Li Yi spread his hands and said.

"Eh? Sad?" Bao Qianqian looked puzzled.

"Yes, in fact, it is a North American film and television company, Sapphire Films, who came to buy the copyright! We have specially investigated this company. It is just a leather bag company. We were not particularly eager to sell it at first, but they gave too There are too many." Li Yi said.

"Then why is it a sad story?" Bao Qianqian asked.

"Because I didn't even think about selling the copyright to a domestic film company at first. Although I don't like Gaole Film and Television, they are all companies belonging to the same country after all. I still can't bear to see domestic companies being sold by Hollywood companies. " Li Yi said with a smile.

"But in the end, I didn't expect that Sapphire Films was actually the vest of Gao Le Films, so I said this is a sad story!" Li Yi sighed.

Bao Qianqian looked a little weird when she saw Li Yi's expression.

"And what's more sad than sad is that Gale Films turned around and reached a cooperation agreement with Damien Films, and held a high-profile press conference, completely ignoring the risks in it, but complacent. I am very sorry. Knowing this, what is there to be proud of?" Li Yi shook his head and laughed.

But the next moment, Li Yi was stunned.

He felt a little off.

As soon as he finished speaking, Goldfinger was triggered, and a movie called "A Story Sadder Than Sadness" came to mind?
