Now the record of the number one single-film box office is "Golden Brothers", and the terrifying box office of 4.3 billion has discouraged most directors. If anyone can break this record, many people think Duane has the greatest hope. After all, he is the only director who has broken the box office record of "Heroes". Who can guarantee that he will not break a new box office record again?

But that was before the release of "Trumen's World".

After the release of "Trumen's World", the box office was not even half of "Golden Armor". Du An, who left Zhang Yi, returned to his essence. A 2 billion director, a very talented 2 billion director.

He is indeed quite talented in art. "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum" which once swept the Huabiao Awards and "The World of Truman" now illustrate this point, but in business, he is a 2 billion director, a 2 billion director who can break through his box office bottleneck with the help of many super directors such as Zhang Yi and Xie Jin and many heavyweight actors, and a 2 billion director who can break through his box office bottleneck with the help of Zhou Xingchi, and a 2 billion director who is not strong enough to pull him out of this bottleneck.

This is certain before Duane achieved more outstanding results independently.

And it was such a person who actually said that his next movie would be more than 7 billion yuan in box office?... Although he still translated Duane's words truthfully, the female translator herself couldn't help rolling her eyes after the translation.

Please, is it okay to brag a little more reliable? If you brag for 5 billion, we won’t say anything. We are closer to 43, but if you brag for 7 billion, you will directly throw out the box office first by more than 2 billion, which will be nearly 3 billion...

Isn't this crazy?

“Very good, very good,”

After Richard was silent for a while, he nodded repeatedly, as if comforting a child, "I am looking forward to this movie." But when he heard his tone, he didn't hear any expectation. He was just a perfunctory tone, and the following words also showed his true thoughts.

"I believe this will definitely be a wonderful movie. From my perspective, I also believe that this advertisement is worth 300 million yuan, but I hope you can understand one thing, that is, Imax is not mine, I am just a CEO, the amount you request is beyond my ability, it will take a discussion by the board of directors to decide. I cannot respond to you immediately, but I think we can continue to keep in touch, and everything must have its solution..."

Duane's toughness suddenly interrupted his rhythm. From the moment the 300 million report was reported, the conversation between the two sides completely followed Duane, but at this point Richard finally got his rhythm back again. As for Duane's previous point, it must not be missed, and it is not necessary to continue the negotiation... except for the content of the article on the contract, nothing cannot be changed and there is no need to be taken too seriously.

This time Duane finally talked about some quality and did not interrupt Richard. After the other party finished speaking, he spoke: "I wonder if Mr. Richard knows some of the things that have happened to me in the past few years? I mean those in the industry."

Richard did not follow his rhythm, nor did he follow Richard's words. The two of them said their own words, talking to each other.

However, what Richard said just now was all declarative words, so Duane would not respond if he did not respond. Duane now uses question-based content. If Richard continued to act as if he had not heard it, he could only nod and replied: "Of course."

As the most popular figure in the entertainment industry in recent years, Duane's deeds have long been well known to people in the industry.

Duane said: "Then let me mention a few things. I don't know if you have any impression of Mr. Richard. The first thing is that before the release of "Liberation Day", I asserted that the global box office of this movie will exceed 3 billion, and the global box office of "Liberation Day" did exceed 3 billion. The second thing is that before the release of "Truemon World", I said at the press conference that the global box office of this movie will be more than 1.5 billion, and it is unlikely that it will be more than 2 billion. I forgot what I said, but that's what it means. We all saw the result that the global box office of "Truemon World" is indeed between 1.5 billion and 2 billion. In fact, there is another thing, that is, before the release of "Truemon Beauty", I once predicted that "Truemon Beauty" would be more than 1 billion, and I did it. If you are interested, you can ask."

Richard listened quietly as the translator translated Duane, silently. He knew what Duane was saying, and he also understood that these two things did happen. After all, both things happened were well known at the time, but what he didn't understand was that Duane suddenly said what this meant.

"When I judged that the global box office of "Liberation Day" would exceed 3 billion, most people, including professional analysts from various companies, believed that the possibility of "Liberation Day" exceeding 3 billion. When I judged that the box office of "Truemon's World" would be between 1.5 billion and 2 billion, most people also believed that the box office of this movie could not be so low. When I judged that the global box office of "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" would exceed 1 billion, Qi Sheng from Xiaoma Film and Television even thought I was farting, which shows that my judgment was made independently."

"I am the director of these movies, and no one knows them better than me, the director. In addition, unlike the market analysis models used by most professionals, I have my own unique market analysis models, which are the basis for me to make unique and accurate market judgments. The results of the two things also prove that my judgment is amazingly accurate, more professional and more trustworthy. The 7 billion I just mentioned is also based on my understanding of my own movies and the results obtained by my market analysis model, so I think you can think about this number carefully."

Richard's face remained unchanged and said, "Director Du, you should also understand that your words are not convincing, because the numbers you mentioned do not have real mathematical significance..."

The sample is too small and can be explained by coincidence. The so-called accuracy and professionalism that Duane said is obviously nonsense.

However, although Richard denied it, he felt a little moved and a thought came to his mind: What if Duane was saying it was true? What if his model was indeed more scientific and reasonable and indeed had incredible accuracy? What if these two things were not coincidental? What if Duane really had amazingly accurate judgment on the market?...

And these ifs, the final result is only one: the next movie that has not been seen in this shadow may indeed have a box office of 7 billion.

If that's the case, Duane also said that this movie would be a science fiction movie, which is the type of movie that best reflects the advantages of imax. It also emphasized that it is a movie that uses a lot of computer special effects and even makes computer special effects the protagonist. If everything is as Duane said, everyone is crazy about it...

That will indeed have a historic effect on the development of imax.

The terrifying result of the rapid and huge excess profits that are more likely to be the explosive growth of the IMAX volcano, after all, capital is profit-seeking.

Of course, this is just a vague idea, and the possibility is very small, but Richard finally began to think about this possibility under Duane's guidance and thought about it in depth, but the result was no.

There is almost no possibility.

Duane saw Richard's attitude, and obviously his example could not convince Richard. Duane was mentally prepared for this: He is not a charlatan, how could he believe it just by saying a few words? At the same time, a trace of hesitation that flashed through Richard's speech was also captured by him, which shows that his purpose had been achieved, that is, to plant a seed in Richard's heart.

That's enough.

Richard's words went over and over again, and the central idea was that he did not agree with Duane's fallacies and evil charlatan reasons. Duane's response to this was to bring the topic to a new place.

"Does Mr. Richard know about my work this year? Do you know that I have also produced 4 movies this year?"

Duane's thinking was wild, and Richard was a little unable to keep up. He was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I know."

This thinking was too jumpy, making Richard feel like he was facing a jumping catfish, which was too difficult to catch, and the rhythm was messy again.

Duane did not give Richard time to think, and said directly: "These four movies will be released this year. Why don't we predict their box office? Just treat it as a small game between us, and it's just a matter of seeing how accurate my market analysis model is. When the results come out, Mr. Richard, you're not too late to consider what I said just now."

Richard was intrigued, "Tell me, I believe that under your production, they will perform very well at the box office, although I heard that these people are all newcomers I have never heard of before."

Although they are all newcomers, although it only takes one year from project establishment, shooting, production to release, although it seems like a work that makes money by Duane’s name. Although... Duane always has the title of producer. For Duane’s face, the box office of these movies is not bad.

Maybe there will be 1 billion together?

If these newcomers do have some talent, then 1.5 billion may not be impossible...

"I think, the 4 movies...a total box office of 1.5 billion?"

Richard boldly speculated that in fact, people who can sit in this position are a bit adventurous.

According to Richard's prediction, the box office of each of these four movies will be slightly smaller than 400 million, which is a very terrifying number for crews who are basically all newcomers. This means that these newcomers will become famous overnight! Duane is the best example. The global box office of "Saw" was less than 500 million at that time.

Richard felt that he was very bold in guessing 1.5 billion, but he immediately knew that this guess was still too conservative.

“2 billion,”

This is Duane's answer, 500 million more than Richard's speculation, and he is very confident.

But the words are not over yet.

“…everything.”

Duane said lightly, as if he was completely unaware of how explosive his words were. "If you say the total box office is, it means that a total of 8 billion will be up."

Puff

Because I had been sitting for too long, my butt hurt a little. The female translator who had just moved her butt forward accidentally sat on the ground and forgot to translate this sentence for a while.
