The total investment of the film was more than 900 million, and it got 1.3 million box office. In addition to the peripheral income such as video tapes, film copyrights, and background music songs, the investment was considered a success.

Some newspapers also said in an envious tone that Mr. Kelly is a very bold and visionary investor. He used to mortgage his property to make movies. Some media said he was too impulsive, but the facts proved that Mr. Kelly was right. Now he can change to another place. Bigger property now.

Roca seemed to only smile when he saw it. The environment of Dalishu Manor is very good, and he has no plans to change rooms yet.

At the end of May, the global box office of "Dancing Out of My Life" exceeded [-] million.

Many stars were invited to participate that day, neighbors Tom Hanks, Britney, Madonna, mom Christina, Ms. Theron and her boyfriend, Fanny, Ryan, Rachel, director Nolan and his wife, Amanda , Lindsay, Billy, Anne Fletcher, Ms. Frances and more.

There are also Katelima Miranda and more than a dozen members of the Brazilian Model Gang.

Hundreds of guests were invited, [-] to [-] celebrities, beauties and handsome men, and the scene was more lively than an Oscar ceremony.

"Mr. Kelly, as far as we know, you have produced four films successively in the United States and Brazil, from "Buried Alive", "Saving Ronaldo", "Infernal Affairs", and this time "Dancing Out of My Life". You have achieved amazing results, can you tell us what is the secret of your success?"

On the lawn of the manor, Mr. Amean Bernstein, the producer of the partner Touchstone Films, smiled slightly while holding a champagne glass.

There are people from other film companies beside them, including independent film production and distribution companies such as New Line, Focus, Lionsgate, Anchor Bay, and Echo.

"Secret? If I say, I only invest in scripts I write, is that considered a secret?"

Rocca laughed.

"Haha, of course forget it"

"Mr. Kelly's screenwriting ability is obvious to all"

"Yes, "Football Daddy" and "Football Stunner", which were released in January and February this year, are also written by Mr. Kelly. The box office of these two films has exceeded 6000 million US dollars. Mr. Kelly is a well-deserved gold medal screenwriter"

"Mr. Kelly, do you still have the script in your hand? I hope to cooperate with you on the new line."

"Mr. Kelly, we at Lionsgate also look forward to working with you again"

Several film company executives said enthusiastically.

"Okay, about the cooperation, we will talk about it later"

Roca smiled.

"Gentlemen, allow me to interject."

Mr. Glenn Gaynor, general manager of Anchor Bay Entertainment, interjected, "I want to correct everyone's point of view. Mr. Kelly has made not four successful movies, but five."

"Five? Mr. Gaynor, are you talking about the newly completed "Little Miss Sunshine"?"

Mr. Focus Chief Producer David Lind asked.

"No, it's a sci-fi movie called The Man From Earth"

Mr Gaynor laughed.

"This man is from Earth?"

"I think I've seen the tape, it's a really good movie"

"So it was also made by Mr. Kelly?"

The surrounding filmmakers exclaimed.

"Yes, this movie was completed in February, and it was not released in theaters, but was released directly on video tape. The partner Mr. Kelly chose is our Anchor Bay Entertainment"

Mr Gaynor exclaimed.

"Mr. Gaynor, how are the sales of the videotape of this movie?"

asked Mr. Bernstein of Touchstone.

"The results... are amazing. It has been on the shelves for two months, sold more than 500 million copies, and the revenue exceeded 7000 million"

"7000?"

Some people wondered, "For a sci-fi movie, the investment must be huge. It was not released in theaters but was released directly on video, and the score is only more than 7000 million. Can this movie make money?"

"Haha, of course, do you know how much the movie cost?"

Mr. Gaynor chuckled.

"How much? The investment in science fiction movies should not be too small"

"Is there 1000 million?"

Everyone guessed.

Mr. Gaynor shook his head and looked at the smiling Rocca, "Mr. Kelly, can you tell us how much you invested in this project?"

Rocca hooked the corner of his mouth, "About 40 US dollars."

"Only 40 million?"

"Only 40 million?"

"For a movie worth 40 yuan, the videotape sold more than 7000 million yuan?"

The filmmakers around exclaimed again and again that the return on investment is too high.

It sold more than 7000 million in just two months after it was put on the shelves. Based on the sales cycle of the video tape for one or two years, it is possible to double or triple it.

Roca smiled lightly. It cost 20 yuan to win the adaptation rights of the film, and 15 dollars to hire director Babenke to direct it. The remaining 5 yuan was spent on the production fee, which was only half spent in the end.

"Gentlemen, according to our estimates, the total sales of this movie may exceed [-] million."

Mr. Gaynor raised his glass and looked at Rocca, "Mr. Kelly, this time you won the bet, please allow me to pay tribute to you!"

"Mr. Gaynor, if I win, you win too!"

"haha, yes!"

The two raised their glasses and clinked.

"Mr. Gaynor, what is the bet you just mentioned? Can you tell me?"

Mr. Bernstein said curiously.

"Yes, can you tell me how you bet against each other?"

People around are also curious.
