Even though her reputation had been tarnished because of the fake singing incident, the setback of a concert could not be shifted to the Heavenly Queen's level.
Xu Haiyan not only got 400 million from Lee Yun, but the script of the movie was adapted from the most popular science fiction romance novel in the country, sky Fortress.
The director invited Ann Ji, who was known as the king of box office. The male lead invited the most popular young man in the country, Han Zhou. He also invited a bunch of A-list celebrities.
It could be said that no matter how one looked at it, it seemed to surpass the doomsday legend.
As for the opening press conference of the Sky Fortress movie, almost all the media in the country participated in it.
Seeing that Xu Haiyan still had money, all kinds of celebrities and big shots came to stand on the stage. It was like a movie festival, and the scale was unusually large.
Especially when the reporters asked Xu Haiyan how she viewed the Doomsday Legends of science-fiction movies, Xu Haiyan's disdainful expression was directly plastered on her face. Anyone could see it.
"I think that there are a few factors that are unavoidable when science fiction films are shot well. One is to have a good script, and the most important is to have a good director and actor. The most important thing is to have good special effects. I have the confidence to build Sky Fortress into the first science fiction film in the country!"
Xu Haiyan's answer made the reporters present burst into an uproar. Just a week ago, star Moon Entertainment's Doomsday Legend also advertised the first science fiction blockbuster in the country.
Now, Xu Haiyan saying this was simply challenging the Doomsday Legend movie. Furthermore, she had a confident look on her face, as if she was looking down on her opponent.
"Ms Xu, may I ask when your movie will be screened?"
"According to the plan, the entire movie will be filmed around a year. The preliminary screening date will be set at the summer vacation next year."
The audience went into an uproar again.
There was no need to ask anymore. Xu Haiyan was determined to fight against the Doomsday Legend. The previous Star Moon Entertainment press conference was also scheduled for next year's summer vacation date.
Two movies were released at the same time, and they were both sci-fi movies. It was obvious that Xu Haiyan had deliberately arranged it this way.
This was because normally, if there were big productions being screened at the same time, other big productions would adjust the time slightly to avoid bumping into each other.
The market share for cinemas was fixed. There was a blockbuster movie that occupied a slot. If there was only a major production movie, then the box office of the movie would definitely not miss out when there was a guaranteed number of blockbusters.
However, if two or three blockbusters were released at the same time, most of the box office earnings that could have been monopolized would be taken away. There was also a possibility that the quality of the movie would appear. It could not be compared to other blockbusters of the same period, resulting in an iron slide in the box office sales.
No one would have thought that Xu Haiyan would create such a huge commotion. She actually wanted to compete with a movie that was not as good as hers!
The reporters below the stage were agitated. Two creative sci-fi movies were filled with the smell of gunpowder the moment they were turned on.
Whether it was Star Moon Entertainment or Xu Haiyan, they were all full of attention. They believed that once the news was released, there would be a wave of discussion on the Internet. Who was the real number one sci-fi giant in the country?
"Sigh, this can be considered a declaration of war, right? Who do you think will be the final victor?" A reporter could not help but ask the colleague beside him.
"This... It's hard to say. On the surface, it's hard to say. From the looks of it, the scale of Xu Haiyan's funds and team lineup are all to crush Star Moon Entertainment's side."
"Yeah, Xu Haiyan was originally a Heavenly Queen. Now she's filming a movie. She even had to invite the most famous Han Zhou in the country to be the lead actor. There's no way she would lose!"
At this time, a reporter asked a very obvious question. "What do you think the box office of Sky Fortress will be? Will it be higher than the Apocalypse Legend?"
Xu Haiyan smiled coldly. "Sky Fortress is a movie that can compete with House of Good's blockbuster production. In the future, after the screening, the box office sales will definitely not be lower than 6 billion. As for the Doomsday Legend, I heard that the entire crew, including the actors, are not very professional. It would be good if the box office can exceed the production cost!"
Hearing this, the reporters at the scene were all excited. They all took pictures or took note of this sentence.
The biggest highlight of their opening day was this. Not only did Xu Haiyan say that her movie could get 6 billion box office sales, she also said that the Apocalypse Legend production crew was not professional.
Currently, there had never been a movie in China that could reach six billion in the box office. The highest record was only three billion. Xu Haiyan actually doubled this number now.
It was unknown whether she had absolute confidence in saying that or just boasting.
"6 billion?! So confident!?" The reporters were shocked.
"This goal is too high. Can the Sky Fortress really get this box office record?"
"It's hard to say. It was originally a script adapted from the best-selling novel. There was also the top number of fresh meat and super IP and super number of celebrities. The energy produced by the two of them is very terrifying!"
"Tsk, what time is it now? Why are you still superstitious about IP and traffic? I think this Sky Fortress is just like the previous movies. It's all in the early stages of bragging, and in the later stages, it's like a dog pouncing on its prey."
There were also more rational people who felt that Xu Haiyan's movie did not need to be overly anticipated. There were still a few big lousy movies in the country now.
Once the launch press conference was publicized, it immediately became a hot topic.
Big productions, big stars, and all kinds of first-string celebrities with various guest performances, as well as the storyline adapted from the most popular novel.
This caused the limelight of this movie to quickly overshadow the Doomsday Legend, and for a moment, it caused a lot of discussion among the people.
Of course, Lin Fan was the first to receive such an important piece of news. He was originally prepared to make a movie, but who would have thought that a competitor would suddenly appear out of nowhere?
"This Xu Haiyan really remembers eating and not beating. It seems like the lesson she got last time wasn't enough!" Lin Fan browsed the relevant news on the website and sneered.
"Tsk tsk, what a big deal. Lee Yun might even be the one who took the 400 million yuan. Aren't you afraid of losing everything?" Gai clicked his tongue and said.
"It's only 400 million. Young Master Li's family has a mine. He doesn't care about this small amount of money."
The young master of West Province's mining industry, a mere 400 million was really not a big deal. However, letting Xu Haiyan make a movie gave Lin Fan a bit of trouble.
"You still dare to say that our movie's box office can't exceed the cost? You are simply looking down on everyone. Why don't I punish her now and see how arrogant she is!" Gai was very dissatisfied with Xu Haiyan suppressing the hot topic on his side.
"No need. Don't do anything. Just let her go crazy."
