Future Optical Brain System

Chapter 151 Reporter's Interview!

The most worrying thing for everyone in the crew is that the two movies are of the same type, with the same selling points, both are big special effects, big scenes, such a direct collision, the two movies are directly compared intentionally or unintentionally, which directly leads to a poor movie Losing popularity, everyone went to buy tickets to watch a movie that fans responded well to.

This time, either "No Light" crushes "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", or "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" crushes "No Light".

Compared with the worries of most of the crew, Chen Dong was full of confidence.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Devil" has been tested by the audience, with 12.183 billion yuan, No. 2 in the history of mainland movies, and won the single-week box office champion for five consecutive times. It is a very good movie with rave reviews from the audience.

Chen Dong smiled and said, "It's too early to say these things. Whether the movie is good or bad, whether it wins or loses, it's up to the audience to decide!"

The weekly reporter continued to ask Chen Dong, "Chen Dong, can you cash in on your bet with Ma Yue?"

Hearing this, Chen Dong said with certainty, "I can't afford to lose 1 million. As long as the total box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" does not exceed 2 million, I will get the box office share and then make up the 1 million and donate it to the Hope Project." All media and netizens will come to insist on supervision. I hope that when the time comes, Ma Yue will not keep his word and the box office will exceed 2 million, and he will run naked."

"Okay, let's supervise. By then, Ma Yue's box office will exceed 1 million. If Ma Yue doesn't run naked, I will spray him to death."

All the reporters present and the onlookers echoed loudly, wanting to monitor the gambling between the two.

If "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" did not exceed 2 million yuan, and Chen Dong did not donate 1 million yuan to the Hope Project, then Chen Dong's popularity must have plummeted to freezing point. No one would like an idol who backtracks on his promises and doesn't keep his words.

If the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" exceeds 2 million yuan, and Ma Yue fails to fulfill his promise and runs naked/running in the street, Ma Yue's reputation will be considered bad.

"I don't know Chen Dong, what is your estimate for the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"?" A reporter asked Chen Dong.

Hearing this, Chen Dong didn't answer directly, but just smiled at the reporter and said, "Of course I hope the more the better."

"Chen Dong, can you give me a detailed figure." Of course, the reporters were not reconciled to Chen Dong's formulaic answer, and continued to ask Chen Dong.

Chen Dong didn't speak, but made an 'eight' gesture with his thumb and index finger.

"8000 million? It shouldn't be possible. The movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has 6700 million+ in terms of investment + publicity and distribution fees."

"Could it be 8 million?"

hiss~!

Everyone took a deep breath.

How dare you say it!
The investment + publicity fee is only 6700+W, and the box office exceeds 8 million. The ratio of total investment to total box office is 12 times terrifying.

how can that be possible?How could he, Chen Dong, have such confidence.

You know, you can make money if the total box office of a movie reaches 3 times the investment.

In other words, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", as long as it exceeds 2 million, you can keep your capital, and the rest is pure profit. Dong can earn more than 8 million yuan, how is this possible?
Moreover, there are very few movies with a box office of more than 8 million in the history of mainland movies, and most of them are Hollywood movies. Domestic movies have never been seen before. Due to a variety of reasons, such as the increase in film prices and the rise in movie ticket prices, there are only a few domestic films that can exceed 8 million in the mainland box office.

Where did Chen Dong get such confidence.

All the reporters took out their cameras one after another and kept taking pictures of Chen Dong's hand gesture.

It is estimated that tomorrow the headlines on the front pages of these media will be this one.

Is it arrogance or self-confidence?
Then only the final box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" will be evaluated.

In fact, Chen Dong mentioned the figure of 8 million, and even said that it was less. In the original time and space, it was 12 billion+, ranking second in the box office list of film history.

Then the reporters asked a few questions, and the reporters didn't let Chen Dong go until the premiere was about to start.

Chen Dong walked into the movie theater and looked around, the movie theater was already full.

A spot in the premiere was quarreled for a very high price, and some local tyrants even bid 5000 yuan or 1 yuan for a spot in the premiere.

Chen Dong found his seat in the middle of the front row of the cinema, with Wang Sen sitting next to him.

"Director Wang, how is it? Do you have confidence in this movie?" Chen Dong sat down, turned his head and said to Wang Sen.

"Be confident. After all, the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has cost us a lot of hard work. We strived for excellence during the shooting, plus post-production. The entire filming time is more than half a year. It's no worse than "Lightless"," Wang Sen said.

In Wang Sen's heart, he has always been grateful to Chen Dong.

When others respectfully call him Director Wang or Director Wang, when he is proud, he will think of Chen Dong. He is able to achieve the lofty position in the film industry today because of Chen Dong's fancy.

Otherwise, he is still a second-rate director, making some bad films in the film industry, low-budget literary films, and he will never be famous.

It is undeniable that he is capable. He was born in a major and has more than ten years of filming experience. However, he has been in the film industry for more than ten years. In addition to ability, he also needs to be supported by noble people, and Chen Dong is his noble person.
