Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1952 Godzilla sequel?
The movie-watching craze for "1992" is still going on. After the box office was released in the first week, "1992" broke the previous record held by "Godzilla" with a box office score of 2000 million and became the highest box office in the first week of North American film history. champion.

Previously, everyone's box office predictions for "Godzilla" were generally between 15 and 15 billion, and in the end "Godzilla" successfully won [-] billion at the box office in North America.

Although the momentum of "1992" is not much different from the first day, most people don't think that the box office of "1992" can exceed 20 billion.

Even the most optimistic estimate only believes that "1992" will probably get a box office of about 17 billion in the end.

But even this is already a very amazing thing.

You must know that just being able to get a box office of 17 billion in the North American film market is an unprecedented thing.

If you put aside the two dramas "Godzilla" and "1992", at this time the overall box office champion of North American historical movies is "ET Aliens" directed by Steven Spielberg.

With $7.9 million, the show beat the previous box office record of $1 million set by Lucas-directed Star Wars 7.7.

"Star Wars 1" and "ET Alien" are two classics. I believe there is no need to repeat them too much.

When these two dramas were released that year, the popularity can be said to be very high. The queue at the entrance of the theater has exceeded several streets. This is definitely not a joke.

But now these records have become a thing of the past, including "Godzilla", which caused a movie-watching craze in Hollywood a few years ago.

"It's only a matter of time before "1992" surpasses "Godzilla" at the box office. Mr. Lin, we all want to know your thoughts on your next third blockbuster movie? Can you tell me a little bit?"

In the past few days, Ashley and Alan Ryder Jr. have made a lot of money because of the movie "1992", and the unhappiness in their hearts has long since disappeared.

As far as they know, the current attendance rates of theaters such as Paramount and Disney have dropped to about [-]% to [-]%.

After seeing "1992", people would rather continue to stand in line than go to see their movie. This is the thing that makes Barry Diller and others feel sad the most.

"The third blockbuster? Even if it comes out, it will be two years later, and I really don't have a clue now."

Lin Daoqiu was not putting on airs, but he really didn't have any ideas about his third blockbuster for the time being.

"How about making a sequel to Godzilla?"

Langmeyer proposed that Lin Daoqiu make a sequel to "Godzilla". In his opinion, many audiences have high expectations for this movie.

Toho's president Isao Matsuoka was sitting beside him, and he nodded quickly when he heard Langmeyer's proposal.

If the filming of "Godzilla" starts, Dongbao will be able to participate more in the production and sharing of this film.

However, Lin Daoqiu shook his head and rejected Langmeyer's proposal.

"There won't be a sequel to 'Godzilla', and if there were, it wouldn't be me."

When Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, the four people around immediately showed surprise.

Although "Godzilla" is not as good as "1992" at the box office, it's not too far behind. Lin Daoqiu, who is sure to be a big hit, didn't make it?This is no joke.

"Don't look at me like that. The shock of "Godzilla" to the audience has come to an end. Even if I shoot the second film, I don't think the box office in North America will exceed [-] million U.S. dollars."

In Lin Daoqiu's view, the reason why "Godzilla" can get such a good score is entirely because of the special effects.

The first time you watch "Godzilla", you will definitely be shocked by the things inside, but you won't be so touched when you watch this kind of thing for the second time.

So Lin Daoqiu no longer plans to start filming the sequel of "Godzilla". If they want to, let them do it.

At this time, Alan Ryder Jr. suddenly turned his head to Isao Matsuoka. If Lin Daoqiu really didn't plan to make a sequel to "Godzilla", then he would be interested in taking over the project.

There is no hope for Magic Studio, and he doesn't think that Lin Daoqiu will be willing to assign the main force of Magic Studio to himself to make the sequel of "Godzilla".

So what little Alan Ryder can count on is Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic.

Although the other party has been bought by Lin Daoqiu, Alan Ryder Jr. believes that as long as he and Lin Daoqiu have a good chat, let Industrial Light and Magic be responsible for the production of the sequel of "Godzilla", I believe he will not object .

Lin Daoqiu also noticed little Alan Ryder's reaction, but he didn't stop him, because what he just said was true.

If Alan Ryder Jr. and Isao Matsuoka really collaborated in the filming of "Godzilla", Lin Daoqiu would really not object and he would be very happy to see it succeed.

"If Chairman Alan is interested in "Godzilla", you might as well have a good chat with President Matsuoka later."

Unexpectedly, Lin Daoqiu saw what he was thinking. Little Alan Ryder smiled awkwardly, but he didn't explain anything. It seemed that he was really planning to do so.

Seeing that little Alan Ryder has already got a piece of fat, it is naturally impossible for Ashley to do nothing.

"I think the three of us can have a good chat about the sequel of "Godzilla", what do you think?"

Ashley doesn't want to be left out. Since Lin Daoqiu thinks that the box office of "Godzilla" is not high enough, he doesn't mind getting a taste of the meat in it.

After all, everyone is in the same alliance now, and it is impossible for Alan Ryder Jr. to put himself aside. He can't pass Lin Daoqiu alone.

Looking back now, Ashley is very glad that he was able to join this alliance. Although Warner's reputation did not get any improvement because of this, they did get a lot of benefits.

"Since Ashley is interested, let's have a good chat."

If possible, little Alan Ryder would naturally not want to let Ashley come in for a share, but if he refused, Lin Daoqiu would definitely not agree.

The advantage of this alliance is that you can get things that others can't get, but the disadvantage is that there are many nasty guys who want to come in and share with you.

"I don't know what Universal means?"

Alan Ryder Jr. also politely asked Langmeyer what he meant. If he also participated, then "Godzilla" would be divided into four points.

"Universal has its own movie to produce, so Universal will not participate in this movie."

It stands to reason that it should be a good thing for them that Langmeyer did not participate in the production of "Godzilla".

But Langmeyer's refusal not only puzzled little Alan Ryder, but even Ashley felt very strange.

They were all worried whether Lin Daoqiu deliberately used the bait of "Godzilla" to deceive them away so that he could make more profitable movies with Langmeyer?
