On November 1, 1997, a Hollywood movie called "Titanic" premiered in Japan.

By December 14, the film was released in North America, and American media were basically looking at the film with a sarcastic attitude, and they were ready to watch jokes.

It is generally believed that this movie with an investment of more than $200 million will sink like the Titanic in the film.

Two hundred million US dollars, equivalent to one hundred and seven billion yuan, is completely unimaginable in the country.

Even one shot in the video used up one million dollars, which was extremely luxurious.

Two hundred million US dollars is just the cost of the film, and the other 40 million US dollars is the promotional expenses of the film. That is to say, the total investment of this film is as high as 240 million US dollars.

Financial experts on Wall Street in the United States predicted that the film would lose all their money, resulting in the bankruptcy of the film company.

"Titanic" will be released in the Christmas season in North America. During this period, many Hollywood blockbusters will be released at the same time, which will be a fierce battle.

At the same time, the domestic film industry is also in a fierce competition, which is the domestic New Year film schedule.

This year, many low-cost comedy films have become the protagonists of the New Year holiday, with investments below 10 million yuan.

Compared with the North American film market, the gap is indeed a bit big.

Domestic media have reported on Titanic. After all, three years ago, Cameron's "The True Lies" achieved a box office of more than 100 million yuan in China, setting a record.

This time, the investment in "Titanic" has been huge and has aroused the interest of the media.

However, domestic media almost always quote the American media as saying that they are not optimistic about the box office of this movie.

Lin Zixuan felt that this was a good opportunity to get attention from Time. He posted a post on Time. He believed that "Titanic" will not only succeed, but will also break various box office records.

This is not sensationalism, he gave his own reasons.

This reason is very simple. Cameron has basically never made any mistakes in the commercial film field, so, credit card god, that's right.

"Mr. Lin, we are a professional website. Are your remarks too unreliable?" The website staff said suspiciously.

The staff of Lin Zixuan’s account knows that otherwise you would accidentally block the boss’s account and do you still want to do it.

"You will hype this topic next, it is best to divide it into two camps. The more enthusiastic the hype, the better." Lin Zixuan arranged, "Don't worry, my speculation is well-founded."

At this time, Time.com not only attracted ordinary netizens who love movies, but also professionals in the film and television industry.

People in the domestic film and television industry do not pay much attention to the film "Titanic", mainly because they are too far from the North American film market, so people should pay more attention to the domestic movie box office.

Besides, a movie with an investment of more than $200 million will have to earn at least $500 million in box office to recover its costs.

What does this mean? The box office of 4 billion yuan is so scary that everyone will not think about that aspect.

Lin Zixuan's posts are basically sarcastic replies, and some people quoted reports from foreign media to analyze the reasons for the failure of the box office of "Titanic" from various perspectives.

However, some people support Lin Zixuan, and these are all staff members of Time Network.

The boss gave the order, and they could only follow the action and stir up the topic.

Lin Zixuan left after posting. His purpose was to attract hatred, not to see the ridicule below. He would come back and slap in the face in two months. That feeling should be very good.

At that time, this post will probably become a god post, and it may be kept digging and worshipping in a few years.

His purpose was achieved. If the website wants to increase its popularity, it needs to constantly attract netizens on various topics.

"Do you really think that movie that invested 200 million US dollars can make money?" Feng Xiaogang said curiously.

After Feng Xiaogang returned from the Cairo International Film Festival, he had some confidence in the film industry. After all, he was a director who had won the award and his spirit was different.

"A Sigh" is under promotion, and Feng Xiaogang takes the main creator to be interviewed or participate in TV programs.

After finishing this film, he has to take a break. According to his words, he stands in this position and strives to achieve good results. He can't just not care about the box office just because he makes an art film.

Only by having a good harvest of box office and reputation can his ability be shown. This is how Zhang Yimou's films are, and he must follow them.

In fact, this film has Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Guoli, and the theaters are more optimistic.

Yu Dong proposed an idea, which is the premiere of filming films from theaters, in Beijing, which theater can release "A Sigh" in advance.

This is rare in the country, but it is actually a publicity gimmick.

All the funds for the auction will be donated, which is a hype that the joint efforts of Haomeng Company and the theater chain.

Nowadays, various hypes in the circle before the movie was released are no longer new. This is the consequence of commercialization. In order to make money and box office, everyone uses their own methods.

The post Lin Zixuan posted on Time.com is no secret in Good Dream Company. It is normal for Feng Xiaogang to hear about it.

The domestic film industry has always had two different opinions on making domestic blockbusters, one supports and the other opposes.

Those who support it believe that only by making domestic blockbusters can they compete with Hollywood movies, otherwise the domestic film industry will never develop and will not keep up with Hollywood's pace.

Those who oppose it feel that it is not the time yet, and domestic movies need to be taken step by step, and we still have time.

After years of continuous introduction, the audience has become aesthetically fatigued with Hollywood blockbusters. The box office of Hollywood blockbusters in China has gradually declined, and sometimes it is not as good as domestic movies.

Everyone thinks that Hollywood commercial films are just like this, and the gap is not that big, so we can catch up, so we relax our vigilance.

Feng Xiaogang is the kind of person who supports filming domestic blockbusters. Although he started out as a low-cost comedy, he has the heart to film blockbusters. He is not satisfied with the current situation and wants to have more room to play.

On this point, Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang's ideas are consistent.

"Titanic" is not only a Hollywood blockbuster, but from an investment perspective, it should be a Hollywood blockbuster. The success or failure of this film will have a certain impact on the confidence of Hollywood film companies in investment.

Think about it, if this film fails, the film company will be more cautious when investing in blockbusters worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

It is precisely because of the success of "Titanic" that Hollywood film companies have gone further and further on the road to filming blockbusters, thus bringing the whole world into the era of Hollywood blockbusters.

Feng Xiaogang asked this because he thought that if "Titanic" could make money, then why would we hesitate to make blockbusters?

"We will know whether we can make money after the Chinese New Year." Lin Zixuan responded. (To be continued.)
