It should be a big shot?! Li Zhongxin listened to Cameron's affirmative tone, but he felt that Cameron was a little weak.

Li Zhongxin can still understand Cameron's guilty feeling. Although Cameron was very determined when he invested in the filming of "Titanic", he continued to increase various budgets during the filming process. However, after Cameron filmed this movie, there were too many people who sneered.

According to the ideas of most people in the United States, it is normal for Cameron's films such as "Terminator 2" and "The True Lies" to make money and make profits. After all, such a film has enough market, and more people like this kind of film.

"Terminator 2" is the first film in Hollywood history to produce over 100 million US dollars, and for the first time it integrated motion capture and CG synthesis, which made the visual effect extremely shocking. The sensation caused at that time was the same.

After all, the production cost of "Jurassic Park", which broke the box office record in 1993, was only $63 million.

The filming of Cameron's "Titanic" has reached 2.5 million US dollars due to the large investment of Li Zhongxin, which is 50 million US dollars more than before Li Zhongxin was reborn.

Moreover, this just means that the cost of shooting costs is 50 million US dollars.

In terms of publicity, Cameron and Fox did not make too much budget. Li Zhongxin made this budget by paying for it. It is precisely for this reason that Zhongxin Company accounted for more than 65% of the investment in the movie "Titanic" and had a certain right to speak.

According to the production cost and box office of "Jurassic Park", many people are not very optimistic about Cameron's "Titanic" because they think that the filming of Cameron is a disaster film, and not so many viewers will watch such a film.

Three people become tigers, not to mention that people with this idea already occupy the majority. Many journalists or colleagues are beating Cameron at this time. They all say that Cameron will lose Waterloo this time and will become the biggest failure of Cameron's movies in his life.

What about this matter! Even if Cameron doesn’t contact those people, he will hear some rumors and rumors.

These people also said that the reason why Cameron was so hard to promote his movie was because Cameron wanted to use the power of publicity to create momentum and use some means to obtain the illusion of the movie being popular, etc. In short, there are many different opinions, that is, the film companies on Fox were worried at this time, fearing that this movie would fail.

"Old Ka, what do you expect the box office in the first week will be like?" Li Zhongxin asked Cameron with a smile.

Li Zhongxin just wanted to tease Cameron. After all, Li Zhongxin is a reborn person and knows very well that the results of "Titanic" in the first week of its just released were very average, as if it was more than 28 million US dollars, but it did not reach 30 million US dollars anyway. At that time, the Fox movies almost went crazy. They thought they had fallen into the pit.

Li Zhongxin felt that even if he increased the promotion of "Titanic" this time, the box office would not exceed 35 million US dollars. The market was so big, and the market's reaction would not change too much because of how much more publicity he did, and the same was true for those theaters that rank movies.

"I expect the box office of our movie to be in the week of release, and it should be more than 40 million US dollars! Of course, this is my expectation, and there may be some fluctuations. I believe the fluctuations will not be too large. After all, there are still many people who support my movie." Cameron looked at Li Zhongxin and spoke to Li Zhongxin seriously.

Cameron really had no idea about Li Zhongxin asking him about the box office. It has not started to be released yet, and the specific situation is still unknown. He only knows that the theater chains in the United States have not responded much to his Christmas release, and people's purchasing efforts are not positive enough.

Judging from the number of show schedules and ticket prices in theaters, it is about 30 million. Of course, this also depends on the effect of the premiere and what the subsequent recognition of the movie will look like.

"About 40 million? I don't know how you estimated Lao Ka, nor how you budgeted it, but! I'm sure that according to the current signs, there will be a certain amount of dullness after the premiere. What if the two of us make a bet? I bet that the total box office in the first week after the premiere will not exceed 35 million, about 30 million.

If it is more than 35 million, even if you win, you can ask me for something, of course, it is something that needs to be within my ability.

If you lose, I don't ask you anything. Just wait for the movie "Titanic" to be screened in China, and you go to China to do some publicity and help me tell me a few courses on film directors there. What do you think of this?" Li Zhongxin said to Cameron with a smile.

Regarding this sudden whim, Li Zhongxin felt that he was a little shameless. According to his bet, Cameron's probability of losing was more than 90%. After all, after Li Zhongxin was reborn, many things had changed a certain amount, but the changes were not very big. Especially in the United States, Li Zhongxin basically could not affect the mood of people in the United States watching movies.

According to this situation, even if Li Zhongxin invested more money in Cameron for publicity, and even if he invited many world celebrities to support him, the box office of this movie in the first week of premiere would not be much better.

This movie mainly looks at the fermentation of reputation in the later period. After the reputation spreads, people will start to make official efforts after seeing the essence of the entire movie.

Li Zhongxin can basically be said to have won Cameron almost certainly, and Li Zhongxin is sure that Cameron will agree to such a thing.

First of all, when Cameron went to China to promote this movie, if he did Cameron's past, it would have a certain impact on the sales of "Titanic". Cameron knew how much money "The True Lies" made online in Chinese cinemas, so this matter was nothing to Cameron.
