Let you invest, and you can support half of the entertainment industry?

Chapter 187 I said, the box office must reach 40 billion

Watching the atmosphere continue to slide towards the bottom.

Even Zhou Xingxing, who didn't understand the world, felt bad.

then.

The next second, the microphone was handed to Xu Jia's hand.

Ganlin Niang.

I can't wait to think of myself.

But he still had to pick up this mess.

After all, this is the mainland premiere ceremony, which is related to half of Jiaxing's movie revenue.

"Ahem, I'm glad that there are so many fans and friends who are willing to come to the premiere. I believe that everyone, like me, grew up with Xingye's movies for a period of time."

"Some people on the Internet always say that we all owe Mr. Xing a movie ticket or something. I have always scoffed at this kind of statement."

Xu Jia's words caused quite a commotion in the audience.

Obviously, no one expected that this guy would even destroy his own stage.

Obviously this slogan was created by Jiaxing himself...

"Because at that time, even if we wanted to buy movie tickets for Master Xing's movie, we couldn't buy it. Not to mention that many of the people present were not born at all. Even if they had the ability, the movie would not be released in the mainland, so this is why I will do it at any cost. The reason for getting this movie released in mainland China.”

"The bond between us and Mr. Star is more than just a movie ticket. Rather than saying that we all owe Mr. Star a movie ticket, it is better to say that we owe our youth a movie ticket, because what we miss is the past."

When Xu Jia saw that everyone's attention was finally diverted by him and the atmosphere was no longer gloomy, he took out the trump card that he had been using for a long time.

That's guessing the box office.

"Anyone who knows me well knows that I like to guess the results of projects at premieres. I guess the ratings of TV series and the box office of movies. So far, I have never lost once, just like the song sung by Deng Chao, How lonely it is to be invincible.”

Xu Jia shrugged, faced the roar of laughter and expectant eyes, and said, "This time, I bet that the box office of "Mermaid" will exceed 4 billion!"

boom!

The ceiling of the entire theater was almost lifted by the loud noise.

This Haikou is really brave!

Four billion box office?

Didn’t that special meow break the box office record in Chinese film history?

You must know that the last record-breaking one was Jiaxing's "Monster Hunting".

Is this the plan to win the title of China’s box office champion?

A little too arrogant!

Even though everyone had already expected Xu Jia's big mouth, they didn't expect such a number to pop up.

"Although I have always admired Mr. Xu, what he said this time really makes me disagree."

"Damn it, do you think that breaking a record is just like cabbage? If you say three billion, I still think it's a bit possible, four billion? Is the Chinese film market that big?"

"For the sake of a gimmick, I started to brag nonsense. Whoever believes it will criticize it."

"Maybe, the combination of Mr. Xu and Master Xing, I think it is possible to create miracles."

Everyone was talking openly and disbelieving Xu Jia's guess.

Even Director Zhou and others beside him fell into a state of confusion after hearing this.

"Mr. Xu, there is no need to shout so loudly. I understand your desire to attract attention, but if the numbers are too outrageous, they will appear ridiculous." Zhou Xingxing said.

As a director himself, he felt that the box office expectation of 4 billion was too outrageous.

"Director Zhou, I'm not asking for attention, but I really think so. There's no need to talk nonsense just for a movie."

The corner of Xu Jia's mouth raised. He knew there would be this response, "Your last movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" also broke the box office record of Chinese movies at that time, with only over 1.2 billion. Can you imagine the box office record three years later? Has it been pushed to three billion?”

There was another sentence that Xu Jia did not say.

Even if "Mermaid" breaks the box office record, it will only last until June this year at most.

Because "Wolf Warrior 2" produced by Jiaxing is scheduled to be released in the summer season in July.

The public in the audience got one thing wrong. Jiaxing's box office championship requires more than just consecutive hits.

But three consecutive championships!

"I'm still old. It's better for you young people to dare to think and fight. Just take what you say."

Zhou Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief and gave up the leadership to Xu Jia. Obviously he knew that he was not suitable to continue promoting.

A very simple point, Xu Jia dared to shout the slogan of 4 billion box office.

As a core figure, I don't have the courage.

If a person doesn't even believe in his own project, how can he convince movie fans?

"It's not that you are old, nor that anyone has fallen behind, but that China has risen so fast that many people have been left behind by the times without even realizing it."

Xu Jia shook his head. Before he was reborn, he couldn't believe that the film market was developing so fast. "In the past, mainland films could not produce blockbusters. It was not because the quality was not good, but because the market could not support it and there were not so many consumers."

"But now, with the expansion and sinking of cinema chains, even young people in third-tier cities and small towns are willing to take their relatives and friends to cinemas to watch movies. The market potential is huge, and box office records will naturally be high."

"In the final analysis, it means that the country is prosperous and strong, and the people have more money to spend."

In any case, the increase in public consumption power is a change that is obvious to all.

In the past, watching movies was a luxury activity for most people.

Because a movie ticket is likely to be saved by their frugality, so they have to pay attention to the lineup, investment, and be sure to get the ticket money back.

This is why Hollywood blockbusters have entered the market and overwhelmed domestic films.

With the same ticket price, audiences will definitely prefer those with grand scenes, high investment, and stars.

A reporter in the audience stood up immediately after making a fuss.

He shouted towards Xu Jia on the stage: "Mr. Xu, what if the box office you said does not reach the box office?"

“I don’t talk about what to do if you don’t achieve it, I just talk about what to do if you achieve it.”

Xu Jia looked around at the glowing eyes of the reporters in the audience, obviously aware that there was going to be big news, "If the box office of "Mermaid" reaches 4 billion, Jiaxing will use one-half of the proceeds as a charitable donation. As for Master Xing..."

Xu Jia glanced at the latter and whispered: "I'll take over for you, is that okay?"

Zhou Xingxing nodded. Since he gave the leadership to Xu Jia, he felt relieved.

"Sing Yeh will once again play the male lead and provide a performance for the fans."

Xu Jia's words stirred up thousands of waves with one stone.

It has been many years since everyone has seen Zhou Xingxing's performance.

Everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Xingxing.

"You, you, really gave me a problem."

Zhou Xingxing tapped Xu Jia with his finger and said in a deep voice: "I just said, everything is subject to what Mr. Xu said."

What the hell!

Does that mean it's true?
