Aside from those who practice fraud, the box office performance of domestic films in China is actually very difficult to predict. No director or big star dares to say that he can fully grasp the preferences of the audience, and the factors affecting the box office are not limited to the film itself.

In 15 years, there was a domestic blockbuster with an investment of 350 million. The combination of famous directors and famous stars can be described as robbing the scenery. The early publicity was even more vigorous, and there were more top cinemas in the investor. Outside the inner circle, the box office of the film was very optimistic, and the media thought it would be a record breaking work.

As a result, after the release, the box office in the first three days was indeed very gratifying, with a profit of several hundred million. However, the audience's reputation was very bad, and soon there was a cliff like decline. Finally, when it went offline, the total box office barely exceeded 500 million, which can be said to be a mess.

On the contrary, some films without much publicity and few stars have become popular in the market and made a lot of money.

Therefore, with these precedents, we are very cautious when talking about box office prediction. Unless it is necessary for speculation, we can be modest and try to be modest.

Now many audiences, especially young ones, have a rebellious psychology. If you blow too much, he feels that he has no taste, so he won't contribute to the box office.

Therefore, the reporter's question to Lu Chen is really hard to answer. If Lu Chen says high, he is suspected of overconfidence. If he says low, the media will have something to say - is there a problem with such overconfidence?

In this regard, Lu Chen seriously replied: "before you asked me about this question, I really didn't think about it carefully. My consistent attitude towards the film is to do my best, but let the audience judge."

"If the audience's evaluation is good, the box office will naturally be high, and vice versa."

When everyone thought that Lu Chen was using Taiji to avoid this problem, Lu Chen continued: "but since you asked, my expectation for Xiaoao Jianghu is 1-1.5 billion box office!"

1 to 1.5 billion!

There were soft voices and whispers among the reporters.

In terms of the current film market, Lu Chen's box office expectation for the first song of "Xiaoao Jianghu" is quite high. You know, the investment in the external publicity of "sword out of Huashan" is only 150 million.

The cost of 150 million to the box office of 1.5 billion is definitely a big profit. Is Lu Chen really not afraid of capsizing?

However, Lu Chen's words haven't finished yet: "the box office of 1-1.5 billion. In addition, I hope that the big film Xiaoao Jianghu has no less peripheral sales than the ghost of a beautiful woman!"

Beautiful ghost!

When you remember, Lu Chen's self-confidence is not without reason. He is not the first time to make a film. The total box office of his first work, the ghost of a beautiful woman, has exceeded 1 billion and the surrounding sales have exceeded 150 million. He has not only created the top record of the surrounding sales of domestic films, but even left behind most of the introduced Hollywood blockbusters!

Several reporters were eager to ask Lu Chen about the box office and try to find some topics for speculation, but they are silent now.

The box office of the ghost of a beautiful woman was real. It was not watered at all, especially the surrounding sales. At that time, many people didn't believe it. Some media also conducted a special investigation, and it was found that there was no fraud.

At that time, Lu Chen could only be regarded as a newcomer in the film and television industry. His strength foundation was far from as strong as it is now. Who dares to say that "Xiaoao Jianghu" must be inferior to "beautiful girl ghost"?

From this point of view, Lu Chen is not too confident about the box office of the first song of "Xiaoao Jianghu" of $1 to $1.5 billion. It's no problem to insist on modesty and prudence!

You should know that the cast of "Xiaoao Jianghu" is far from that of "ghost of a beautiful girl". Compared with the former, the former has dumped the latter three blocks.

The reporters were stunned for a moment. Fortunately, someone saved the scene in time and got up to ask Chen Guozhi: "director Chen, why did you decide to direct the martial arts film Xiaoao Jianghu?"

In fact, the reporter wants to know how much Chenfei media paid to invite this great God. After Chen Guozhi changed to make commercial blockbusters, there will always be investors carrying suitcases full of money in front of his house.

If there is any inside story, I believe the gossip people must love it.

Chen Guozhi is an old and sophisticated character. Of course, he can't be asked by such a question. He smiled and said: "I direct Xiaoao Jianghu. On the one hand, Chenfei media is very sincere, and I'm also very happy to cooperate with young and powerful actors such as Lu Chen and Chen Feier."

After holding Lu Chen and others a few words, Chen Guozhi continued: "in addition, I like Xiaoao Jianghu very much. I think this novel is well written. It has created a new martial arts trend. It is both an opportunity and a challenge for me to have the opportunity to direct the film version of Xiaoao Jianghu."

"I am very willing to face such a challenge!"

As soon as his voice fell, there was warm applause at the scene. Such a scene is very rare in the interview of media reporters, but Chen Guozhi is not an ordinary director.

As the interview continued, the questions of the reporters naturally focused on Chen Guozhi, Lu Chen and Chen Feier, but mu Xiaochu and Tong Xinyao, as supporting roles, also got a few questions.

Their answers were regular, and they didn't dare to play jumping on such an occasion.

Towards the end, a reporter asked Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, it is said that you will marry Chen Feier after shooting the trilogy of Xiaoao Jianghu. Is it true?"

Huh?

This question is interesting. Everyone's eyes focus on Lu Chen again, including Chen Feier.

Lu Chen was speechless - who made the rumor? I made it right!

He thought for a moment and said, "thank you for your attention to my personal feelings. Chen Feier and I will give you an answer at an appropriate time, but at present, our job is to make this film well and not disappoint the fans who have been waiting for a long time."

The reporters were disappointed at first. It was a pity that they didn't dig out strong materials from Lu Chen's mouth.

When the best couple in the entertainment industry will achieve good results is undoubtedly the concern of countless people.

Unfortunately, the heavy material is not so easy to dig.

After the media reporter's interview, the opening ceremony of Xiaoao Jianghu was completed, but then Lu Chen and Lu Xi attended a signing appointment on the spot.

Chenfei media invested 375 million to buy 35% of the shares of Ningshan film and Television City transferred by Ningshan county government!
