Chapter 695

This kind of entertainment news.

How many people will read a manuscript without editing it.

"Hello, director Li. I'd like to ask you how much your investment in this movie is. I haven't seen you publicize it before. We don't even know the starting time of the movie. You've done a good job in confidentiality."

A reporter got up to ask a question.

Needless to say, such a "serious" problem is naturally a matter of trust.

Li Xizhao came to the spirit, and looked at PU Chaodong sitting below. A number that would make the reporter go away quickly appeared in his mouth. "150 million dollars."

Boom.

There was an uproar.

The entire launch site exploded.

These entertainment journalists are buzzing in their heads.

What did they hear?

150 million dollars.

It's not RMB.

It's not Hong Kong dollars.

Not even the yen.

Even 150 million yuan is a huge sum of money in this era. Looking at Li Xizhao on the stage, their first reaction is exaggeration, exaggeration for the sake of hype.

I don't want to believe it at all.

Li Xizhao looked at the expression under the stage with satisfaction.

In order to achieve this effect, the real investment, as a director, is less than 30 million yuan, because it is basically completed in the studio, there are not many group performances, the popularity of the actors is not high, and the film remuneration is low.

This is a movie.

The remuneration of the actors, together with the wages of all the staff, is only less than 15 million yuan.

Other costs are mainly in the construction of photographic equipment and shooting site, which can be reused. Therefore, 30 million yuan is the investment beyond the special effects of the film.

As for the cost of special effects.

Li Xizhao doesn't know.

He has seen the work of the special effects team.

The short contact and divine speed made Li Xizhao not believe how much money it would cost. However, in terms of profit sharing, the company's special effects are worth so much, with a package price of 70 million US dollars.

This is the price decided by Tang Qing.

So here's the problem.

Does comet need to pay so much cash to the special effects company? It's nearly 600 million yuan. It's similar to the market value of comet, but comet can't get it out at all.

The answer, of course, is No.

In other words, if the final profit of the film is less than $70 million, all the money will go to the special effects company.

Comet has no money.

Insufficient special effects companies have and will not continue to claim, which means that profits will be given priority to the production costs of special effects companies.

If it's more than 70 million dollars, the extra part will be the one we can get.

As a result, Tang Qing completed the investment of comet film and television in this play by means of "credit", which is a little bad for comet film and television. If he can't make money, the company will lose money, but won't the film lose money?

Of course not.

On the other hand, the payment for comet has been suspended.

After evaluation.

In the hands of western special effects companies, you can't get such special effects without US $100 million. The price of US $70 million is already very favorable. You can still pay on credit, and you can't even pay in advance.

It can be said to be a happy cooperation clause.

Tang Qing thinks it's necessary to pay a high price for this kind of thing. In the future, if someone else wants to do special effects, they can also pay a high price. Otherwise? Say my special effects cost 20 million dollars?

It's not about money.

It can blow.

Just blow higher.

It can also give people a sense of being tall.

As for the real cost of special effects, even with the exchange of intelligence analysts, it's only tens of millions of RMB. In the future, this film will be able to earn ten times as much without further investment. Coupled with the profits of comet, Tang Qing has been planning how to do things happily.

"Director Li, are you serious? 150 million dollars. How could it be like this Another reporter raised his hand to ask, he can't accept the price anyway, a Chinese science fiction film, 100 million yuan is a "grand masterpiece". OK.

Li Xizhao nodded seriously.

"Yes, this movie has invested so much, mainly in special effects. When you see the movie, you will know that the investment is really not high."

The reporter wants to ask again.

But other journalists quit, one for each. That's the rule.

Li Xizhao had to order the next reporter.

"Hello, director Li, can you tell me why you chose some new faces at the beginning? Why don't you invite some people who are familiar with you, even if you go in and show your face, you can also increase your attention? "This question made Li Xizhao feel comfortable.

I wish there were no weird questions.

Entertainment reporters always like to ask questions. When a new film is released, they often ask about a scandal conference. It's really irritating, but it's not easy to offend. Otherwise, it's not good to say you're playing a big card.

Entertainment news.

Bottom line?

It doesn't exist.

There's a bottom line. Anybody else?

Shit.

"Cough, that's a good question. Before that, when I got the script, I knew that it was a serious science fiction movie, not a comedy, and the theme was not love, family and other American blockbuster elements.

It's a movie full of serious thoughts and huge investment, especially in special effects. Therefore, I'll consider whether to hire some "suitable" actors. After all, we should give more opportunities to young people.

The actors in this play are carefully selected, and the shooting also proves that I have good vision. They really have great potential and strength, and they work very hard to let me see the theme of this film. "

Li Xizhao made a circle, and Gu Zuoyu talked about him.

But all the entertainment reporters in this room can hear what he means.

No money.

Save if you can.

Big actors can't afford it.

All the money went to special effects.

In general, it is.... We have been poor recently.

You can't laugh or cry in your heart. You just say that the budget is not enough. There are a lot of balabalada, which seems to be the same thing. However, the curiosity in your heart has been hooked up.

What will happen to the 150 million dollar Chinese science fiction film.

Li Xizhao was a little embarrassed when he said it, but if you think about it, if it's not embarrassing, how can you say it.

The next press conference started the normal mode.

For the actors on stage.

Reporters' questions and answers are all in order. There's no way. These little actors have no news value. Even if they have gossip, no one pays attention to them. Therefore, I'd better ask a few questions and hurry back. The main news point this time is investment, which can also attract some eyeballs.

When these little actors become famous.

Then comet began to stir up the hype, and they would be interested in doing things with it.

So.

In a harmonious atmosphere.

The press conference is over.

Just ten minutes after the end.

The Internet media began to make efforts. All kinds of pop-up windows and entertainment headlines were bought by comet. The TV and paper media publicity has not yet started, just waiting for them to write a manuscript.

The TV propaganda mainly focuses on the news in the afternoon, while the newspaper will wait until tomorrow morning.

Under the operation of Zheng Lin, CCTV news channel will read a piece of relevant news in the evening. This is not only the operation of Zheng Lin, but also the spontaneous promotion of Meng Rongfei. The number of people who have seen this film is increasing rapidly.

Visibility is also well known within the Department.

In particular, the relevant management departments.

We are all acquaintances. We can talk about this film.

In any way, this is a sharp sword that can help Chinese films open up the world market. Therefore, this kind of promotion wind has even formed, spreading from top to bottom and very fast.

Later, although people can not see the film.

But the best is the worst.

It's no problem to blow with it. So, this wind has already been helped. It's just waiting to blow all over China.

。。。

The United States.

California.

Headquarters of the American Film Association.

Different from the censorship system in China, American movies are classified. When they are made, you can release them if you have the ability, but you should limit the age of watching, whether you need to be accompanied by your parents, and so on.

Such a system is good.

Because of freedom.

But there are also some very bad aspects.

Many movies are full of scenes of violence, contraband and female sex, which have a great impact on people's vision and psychology. After all, many American stars are using contraband in and out of movies.

This is a kind of instigation.

Although the age of viewing is limited.

But.

Whose parents want their adult children to get those bad habits, such as drinking, violence, sex, illegal drugs and so on. This is also the reason why Huaxia classification system has been delayed, because public figures have a great influence on people.

In particular, this kind of thing may involve tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of viewers.

Once the impact is not a family.

It's a flood.

Think about it. After watching a movie, your baby suddenly becomes curious about something, such as what it's like to smoke contraband, what it's like to change a partner in a day, or what it is like to be with a lot of people, and what it is like to see blood with a knife....Once your kids put it into action.

Then you should go to smash the cinema. It's estimated that you will have the heart to strangle the director and all the actors. Freedom, freedom, you MMP, who have never experienced, will never understand how deep the hatred is.

So.

In China, even the film classification is always based on the censorship system.

Freedom,

must be within the limits, otherwise, this kind of freedom would rather not.

After watching the movie submitted by comet.

The whole set is quiet. The members of the association are still in the shock before. What do they see? It was a real visual feast and a spiritual enjoyment.

Huaxia can make a movie of this level.

All of a sudden, they felt like a wolf was coming.

In the past, the world film market was dominated by the west, and the United States will always be the exporter of the world's advanced film culture. But now it has been broken by this film. Has the Oriental film even reached this level?
