Chapter 383: No one is around
An Avatar observation meeting turned into a shocking gambling game, which caught everyone by surprise.
Tong Gang retained Li Chen after the meeting.
"Are you crazy today?" Han Sanping said bluntly when he saw that there were no outsiders.
But Bureau Tong said nothing.
Lao Han is also pitiful. He has never gotten his box office estimates right.
Lao Han has always overestimated "The Promise" and even "Mei Lanfang" later.
Only this Avatar, Lao Han completely underestimated his grandma's family.
"Sanping, let Li Chen tell his opinion first."
Han Sanping sat down patiently. Li Chen's bet today means that he is also a Chinese film actor. .
If in the future, the films jointly produced by China Film and Rongchen Pictures are divided according to 41%, then China Film will be really unlucky.
It is simply a disaster.
"Li Chen, do you really think that "Avatar" can exceed 1 billion." Tong Gang said gently.
Li Chen smiled and said: "It's very possible."
"When Cameron's "Titanic" was released in 1997, there were less than a thousand screens in the country, but they were cut off 360 million.”
"In 2002, when Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was released, more than 250 million screens were screened across the country on more than 1,500 screens."
"The number of screens nationwide has increased to more than 6,200 this year, four times that of 2002."

Tong Gang and Han Sanping looked at each other, not expecting Li Chen to have such a thorough grasp of the data.
“Of course, the number of films today is not comparable to what it was back then.”
“But when Cameron comes, do the two leaders think anyone dares to squeeze into the same schedule as him? ?”
"So no matter how many films there are, it will not affect "Avatar" as long as the bureau reveals that "Avatar" is scheduled."
"I dare say that 99% of producers will adjust their schedules to avoid "Avatar" "!"
"Even I am no exception!"
"Another reason is the price of "Avatar", whether it is 2D or IMAX, "Avatar" is three hours long. The fare is absolutely unprecedented."
Li Chen's words made Tong and Han feel uncertain.
According to Li Chen's analysis, "Avatar" is guaranteed to earn 1 billion.
Tong Gang sighed softly: "I wonder when our domestic film industrialization will reach the level of the United States."
Although Li Chen knew the answer to this question, he did not say anything.
"By the way, Li Chen, how are the people who have been trained through orientation training?" Tong Gang placed his hope on Li Chen again.
Now it seems that Li Chen is ahead of the curve.
Perhaps this group of people are the pioneers of domestic film industrialization.
"The second batch will leave in June, and the first batch will return to China at the end of the year."
"Then what are you going to do with these people returning to China?"
"Let me Keep it a secret for now. You will know about Tong Ju by the end of the year.”
“You guys, you and I are still playing Tai Chi. Forget it, I’ll wait and see.”
After separating from Tong Gang, Han Sanping took Li Chen to talk.
"Do you really think this "Avatar" can reach one billion?"
Li Chen said with a smile: "Didn't I just say it? Theoretically, it is completely possible."
"As for whether it can reach one billion, no one can say for sure."
"Then you dare to boast about Haikou?" Han Sanping was dumbfounded.
Li Chen smiled confidently and said, "I always believe in my own vision, don't you?"
Han Sanping was completely speechless, and became a little angry when he remembered something.
"Chen Kaige from Huabiao is here. You boy really does what he says. He won't come if he can't."
If Li Chen comes to Huabiao, it will definitely be a good story.
Two generations of Palme d'Or gathered for the Huabiao Award.
For "Mei Lanfang" and "The Wind", Chen Kaige and Li Chen both won the Outstanding Director Award.
As a result, it was Chen Kaige and Yu Miao who came to the stage to receive the award.
Chen Kaige also recited a poem in public, which contained strong feelings about his family and country. He once again made clear his attitude to all walks of life. He will not change his nationality. This is called maintaining his identity.
Look, this is the character of the poet.
Saying this in one sentence will tell Li Lianjie, Gongli and others how to deal with themselves.
However, the poet did practice it personally. It seems that he never invited Li Lianjie and Longli in his later movies.
Huang Bo's "Bullfighting" was shortlisted for the Venice Horizon section.
The reputation of "Crossing Guandong 2" was obviously not as good as the first one, which made Hou Hongliang very hurt.
I didn’t expect that Noon Sunshine would have to compete with Rongchen Films now.
Li Chen returned to the villa and contacted Yu Miao to ask him to release the news about the meeting.
Sina Entertainment News
“The "Avatar" viewing event gave birth to a shocking gambling agreement, and Rongchen Pictures, the leading upstream producer, launched a 1 billion bet on the eight major theater chains."
The film and television industry is like a thunderous explosion.
The first one to be shocked was Zhang Weiping.
In the past, this kind of thing was always his specialty.
But he’s not as stupid as Li Chen.
Zhang Weiping was still in a daze when Rongchen Pictures called.
I heard Yu Miao say that she hopes Zhang Weiping can also join this gamble.
Zhang Weiping's head shook like a rattle.
Don't say that he hasn't seen "Avatar", even if he has, he wouldn't dare to bet on it.
Although he also wanted to increase the account sharing ratio, he did not want to be so hasty.
After losing, he is back to the starting point. It was easy for him to increase the ratio from 41 to 43!
Just after hanging up the phone with Yu Miao, the theater company called again and invited him to join the gambling agreement.
Zhang Weiping refused without thinking. Do you think I, Old Zhang, am a stick?
This is actually what Rongchen Pictures and theaters want.
"Boss, as expected, Pony, New Picture, Huayi, Shanghai Film and Television, and China Film have all rejected your gambling agreement."
Yu Miao is also puzzled. Understand, the boss is simply sending himself to death by doing this.
Only fools are willing to join.
This kind of result is exactly what the eight major theater chains hope to see.
Even if Li Chen is lucky enough to win, don't be jealous of other producers.
I originally invited you to join, but you yourself refused.
Li Chen also achieved what he wanted to achieve.
In the future, you will increase the bill sharing ratio. Don’t tell me that the producers will be prosperous at once.
Don’t ask me, Rongchen Pictures, to be the leader.
He remembered that two years later, Zhang Dapao narrowed down "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and ordered the eight major theater chains to increase their revenue sharing ratio.
In the end, the General Administration stood up to be the peacemaker, and the two parties agreed that the amount of accounts within 500 million would be divided into 45 points, and that after 500 million, the accounts would be divided into 41 points.
Li Chen’s move blinded everyone.
The eight major theater chains felt that they had gotten a big deal, and they all shouted: See you on Monday!
Early this morning, many media were squatting downstairs at Rongchen Pictures.
It feels quite like the leader of the martial arts alliance convening a martial arts conference.
Yang Siwei, Yu Miao and others all wanted to persuade the boss again.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they talk about what Li Chen has decided, it is useless.
Yang Sisi refused to give up and called Liu Yifei again.
"Yifei, please advise the boss. The boss won't listen to us, but the boss will still listen to you."
"This time is different from the past. No other producer has a job."
"Boss, this is simply a generous death!"
As a result, Liu Yifei directly replied: "He Even if he is really wrong, I will continue to make mistakes with him.”
Yang Siwei was immediately petrified
