Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Chapter 986

Screaming, amazed, and dumbfounded, the audience watching "Godzilla" in the theater was completely shocked by this show.

As a science fiction film, Lin Daoqiu's "Godzilla", as he himself said, can be called a landmark film.

In fact, not long ago, Fox released an action science fiction movie called "Terminator 1".

This low-budget film, which cost only US$6.5 million and took only three months to shoot, eventually grossed US$78 million at the box office.

Although both are science fiction movies, compared with "Godzilla", "Terminator 1" can be said to be completely incomparable.

After all, the production costs of the two dramas are very different, and the shooting time is also ten times different.

The director of "Terminator" was actually present. He was not interested in "Godzilla" at first. He felt that after spending so much money on this movie, nothing could be produced.

If he was given 150 million, he didn't know what he would make, but he firmly believed that it would be better than this "Godzilla".

However, after he watched "Godzilla" from beginning to end, all the director's previous doubts about "Godzilla" disappeared without a trace.

At this time, he was already relatively well-known in the industry, and the reason why he chose to enter the film industry was because he watched Lucas's "Star Wars".

At that time, he realized that he wanted to be a film director, so he immediately quit his job as a truck driver and devoted himself to the film industry.

After watching "Godzilla", the director silently left the theater. He neither went to meet Alan Ryder Jr. nor Lin Daoqiu.

The "Godzilla" he watched today really improved his understanding of special effects movies, making him feel that he must prepare well for his next movie.

At the same time, in a theater in Tokyo, Masami Kurumada, who attended the premiere of "Godzilla" with Yoichi Sakai, seemed to be completely frightened, with her eyes wide open and unwilling to follow the movie at all.

Move away from the screen.

"Godzilla" has actually been filmed in many special effects films in Neon, so it stands to reason that these audiences should be more or less immune to "Godzilla".

But when "Godzilla" in the movie emerged from the sea, there were screams everywhere, and some people were even so frightened that they shook all over.

If you compare the "Godzilla" in the previous special-shot movies with the "Godzilla" in the live-action movie, you can say that one is a toy and the other is a real monster.

When the movie ended, the audience in the theater was reluctant to leave, and many people were still thinking about the clip they just watched.

At this time, Kurumada Masami suddenly turned to look at Sakai Yoichi, and then spoke to him seriously.

"Mr. Sakai, I want to join MAG, please take care of me..."

Yoichi Sakai originally planned to test Kurumada Masami's attitude on his way back later to see what his views were on joining MAG.

But now these tests are completely unnecessary, because Kurumada Masami has taken the initiative to say that she wants to join MAG, which is extremely good news for them.

"Thank you Mr. Kurumada, you will never be disappointed by joining MAG. Believe me, one day your comics will be on the big screen, just like "Godzilla"."

"Then please, Mr. Sakai, I'm looking forward to that day."

Naturally, Yoichi Sakai does not have such great ability to adapt Kurumada Masami's manga and put it on the big screen.

But Lin Daoqiu can, and he has already done it, and the results seem to be very good.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Masami Kurumada to be so moved and decide to join MAG.

It can be said that MAG's development from beginning to end has relied on Lin Daoqiu's money and his reputation. Without Lin Daoqiu, MAG would never have been able to continue to exist.

In North America, Neon and Hong Kong, as soon as "Godzilla" was released, it immediately set off a wave of movie watching.

Except for "Godzilla", the other movies are as if they don't exist, and no one is willing to watch them.

Alan Ryder Jr. is very glad that he made a wise choice and cooperated with Lin Daoqiu to jointly release the movie "Godzilla".

If this were not the case, I am afraid that the theaters currently cooperating with Fox would be a deserted scene.

"How much box office do you think "Godzilla" will win in the end?"

The next day, Alan Ryder Jr. called Landry into his office, and the two of them naturally talked about "Godzilla".

Regarding the movie "Godzilla", Landry also had a feast for his eyes at the ZG Theater last night. He was also shocked by the special effects of "Godzilla".

But now if we ask him how much box office the movie "Godzilla" will earn, Landry actually can't say for sure.

At this time, "Godzilla" has occupied half of the movie screens in North America, and God knows how much box office this movie can get.

But what Landry is sure of is that the movie-watching craze triggered by "Godzilla" is just like the original "Star Wars" and "E.T."

He feels that neither of these two movies can break the 800 million box office. Even if "Godzilla" is really better than them, its box office will probably be around 800 million.

After telling his thoughts to little Alan Ryder, the other party smiled and shook his head.

It seemed that little Alan Ryder did not agree with the answer given by Landry, or he felt that the other party's guess was completely different from what he thought.

"I think this drama can exceed at least 1.5 billion..."

As soon as Alan Ryder Jr. said this, Landry was shocked. Even if "Godzilla" was really good, it would be incredible to get a box office of 1.5 billion.

In Landry's view, around one billion is the limit for the "Godzilla" movie, and anything more is impossible.

"Why don't we make a bet? Let's bet on a steak..."

A steak meal actually didn't cost much, so Landry readily agreed.

In fact, the higher the box office of "Godzilla" is, the more money Fox will make.

You must know that at this time, almost half of the screens for "Godzilla" were provided by Fox.

"Oh, by the way...I forgot to tell you, I guess Lin Daoqiu will find someone else to provide the screen for "Godzilla"..."

Originally, Landry thought that Fox and Universal jointly releasing "Godzilla" would be a great thing.

But now he suddenly realized that his idea seemed a bit too conservative.
