Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2216 Christmas Gift
When those reporters heard what Lin Qingxia said, they basically couldn't continue to ask questions. After all, it was impossible for them to help Lin Qingxia pay hundreds of millions of yuan, because this news alone would not make much money back.

Of course, the reason Lin Qingxia said this was all taught to her by Lin Daoqiu. The purpose was to prevent those reporters from continuing to chase after this issue.

But even though she didn't get an actual answer, Lin Qingxia's statement actually answered this question on the side, that is, her salary is not as high as the tens of millions that everyone said, at least a few million must be there, but as for how much? One million is unknown.

"Tomb Raider 2" was officially released a week before Christmas, and the screen allocation of 500 yuan was regarded as MGM's high-standard preparation for this movie.

Brigitte Lin is not the first time to celebrate Christmas in Hollywood, but for her, compared to the Spring Festival, although the Christmas atmosphere here in North America is very strong, she still prefers her own Spring Festival, because that is her holiday.

And not only Lin Qingxia thinks this way, even Lin Daoqiu thinks the same way as her. They are not interested in Christmas, even though the atmosphere on the street is very strong, they don't think they have anything to do with this festival.

"Where are you going to spend Christmas this year?"

Lin Qingxia snuggled into Lin Daoqiu's arms, and asked in a low voice.

In fact, she doesn't care too much about where to spend Christmas, the most important thing is who to spend with.

"I guess I can only stay in LA, at least I have to stay here until the Spring Festival."

The filming of "Spider-Man" and "Captain America" ​​has just begun, even if Lin Daoqiu wants to leave, he will have to wait until these matters are dealt with before he can leave.

And Lin Daoqiu also needs to keep an eye on the progress of "Wonder Boys", because this movie will be MGM's first special effects blockbuster next year, and it will also be Brad Pitt's first starring movie. Take good care of yourself.

Hearing that Lin Daoqiu was going to stay in LA for Christmas, Brigitte Lin seemed a little depressed, but she could also understand why Lin Daoqiu made such a decision.

After all, "Tomb Raider 2" is still in theaters, and I, the actor who is the protagonist, should also stay here.

"By the way, how much do you think the box office of "Tomb Raider 2" will be?"

As the protagonist of "Tomb Raider 2", Brigitte Lin certainly hopes that the box office of this film can be as high as possible, because this will allow Lin Daoqiu to earn a large sum of dollars, and ease the financial burden for him to acquire Columbia Pictures. pressure.

"Richardson talked to me about this topic before. He guessed that the global box office of "Tomb Raider 2" will reach one billion, but I don't think it should be that high. It will be around six or seven billion. .”

Lin Daoqiu is 2 to [-] million less than Richardson's predicted box office, but not because he is not optimistic about "Tomb Raider [-]", but because in his opinion, the potential of this movie is so great.

It is obviously impossible to attract more people to the theater without the blessing of special effects.

If even a movie like "Tomb Raider 2" can get a box office of over one billion, then Lin Daoqiu thinks that "007: M" may also break one billion by then, but this is just a good idea. Hard to come true.

"A billion dollars? I don't think it's possible. It seems that Richardson is a bit too optimistic about "Tomb Raider 2."

Lin Qingxia and Lin Daoqiu basically have the same idea, but she also thinks that the box office of "Tomb Raider 2" should not be as high as Richardson said.

At this time, the phone next to him rang suddenly, Lin Daoqiu reached for the phone and said hello.

Brigitte Lin, who was snuggling beside Lin Daoqiu, heard Richardson's voice on the phone.

"The box office of "Tomb Raider 2" on the first day has been released, and it reached 300 million US dollars on the first day."

This box office result is already considered very good. If it can be maintained, the box office of this movie in the North American market should reach about [-] million predicted by Lin Daoqiu after more than a month after its release.

"Very nice, if you think it is necessary to increase the intensity of publicity, it is up to you to decide."

Lin Daoqiu feels that the potential of "Tomb Raider 2" has almost been released. If the third part does not have a big breakthrough, then I believe "Tomb Raider 2" should be the highest-grossing one in this series. department.

Of course, if Lin Daoqiu is willing to put this drama on hold for more than 20 or [-] years and remake it to make it nostalgic, it is estimated that the box office results at that time will definitely be very satisfactory.

"I think we can still increase the intensity of publicity. I think this drama should still have a lot of potential to be released."

"No problem, then you decide."

After putting down the phone, Richardson immediately asked the people in the publicity department to increase the promotion of "Tomb Raider 2". This time, he added an additional 300 million publicity fees.

Even if "Tomb Raider 2" failed to rise to the point where Richardson was satisfied in the end, as long as the current box office trend can be maintained, MGM has already made a lot of money, and the mere 300 million publicity The fee is not worth mentioning at all.

Although Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin said they would stay in LA for Christmas, in the end he decided to take Brigitte Lin to visit other cities in North America.

When LA was already cold enough to wear a coat, Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin went to Miami for Christmas.

Compared with the coldness in LA, Miami here is much warmer. Although it is not as hot as in the tropics, Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin feel much more comfortable with the lowest ten degrees of weather.

Lin Daoqiu's yacht has also been brought over in advance, so Lin Daoqiu took Lin Qingxia out to sea almost every day in Miami these days.

"I'm Lin Daoqiu..."

When Lin Daoqiu was still at sea, he suddenly received a call from Richardson from LA.

"I have some good news for you. The single-day box office of "Tomb Raider 2" has risen to 500 million, and the cumulative box office has reached 2000 million."

Richardson on the phone trembled when he said these words, and Lin Daoqiu could clearly feel the excitement revealed in the other party's tone.

"Good job, step up the publicity, maybe your premonition will come true this time."

Lin Daoqiu didn't feel any dissatisfaction because of his wrong prediction. After all, the better "Tomb Raider 2" sold, the higher MGM's income.

If "Tomb Raider 2" really breaks Lin Daoqiu's previous prediction and gets a global box office of over one billion, it will really be a Christmas gift for him.
