"When it comes to iron man, it's a very popular movie right now, and everyone is talking about it." Lu Fang suddenly said with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Chen mubai looks at Lu Fang curiously.
Lu Fang said: "you are busy with the late stage of biochemical crisis recently. You should not watch the news on the Internet very much, otherwise you must know."
"It was Yao Yao who revealed a little bit about your new movie idea on the program, and then aroused everyone's curiosity. The program itself had a high audience rating, and it was a gold medal program, so after Yao Yao finished, the broadcast volume of this program increased greatly, and the traffic and popularity soared. The program team took advantage of the opportunity to promote the film, I want to talk more about the new film on the show
"Yaoyao didn't say much, just about the budget of the movie. Then it spread and caused a shock inside and outside the circle."
Tao Yaoyao helps Chen mubai promote the new film. Naturally, she won't disclose too much key information, but everyone will pay attention to any information she reveals. After all, this is a science fiction film Chen mubai personally admits, and it is also a work that will open the door of Chinese science fiction film.
Tao Yaoyao said on the program that Chen mubai's new film investment budget is as high as billions of yuan!
This exaggerated figure really surprised the hosts and the audience.
After the broadcast of this program, Tao Yaoyao's words instantly aroused the hot discussion of netizens!
"Chen mubai's new film really has billions of investment?"
Some people questioned, not only netizens, but also some "insiders".
Their main point is to make a discussion from the different environment at home and abroad.
Billions of investment, this is not a small amount!
In particular, this film is still a science fiction film. In addition to what Chen mubai said before, we can see how much planning and expectations he has for this film. Even mubai entertainment can't afford to lose.
In the past, Huaxia's largest investment in movies was about 300 million yuan, which is already a huge investment, let alone over one billion yuan!
According to the calculation of the risk income of a movie, a movie with an investment of 300 million yuan needs to reach 900 million yuan at the box office to get back the cost, and if it makes money, it needs to reach 1 billion yuan at the box office.
This is not a simple thing. Although the box office of several films of Chen mubai has exceeded one billion, it is not easy to get the box office, but the quality of his works is good and the audience likes it.
Although he carefully made this sci-fi film, it will not necessarily win the audience's love, which is a big problem. Besides, the investment of this film is billions, even if it is invested according to one billion yuan, it will take three billion at the box office!
This is even more difficult. Even if the box office is worth 2 billion yuan, it will lose a lot of money. We can see how big the risk is!
The original investment of 300 million films, the final box office only got 100 million, completely lost to death.
In the follow-up, there were several investment films of the same level in succession, all of which failed, and then few people dared to challenge the works with such a large investment.
You know, these failed works are directed by famous directors. They have the ability, and only they have such great appeal, to make capital invest so much money. If they are not top directors, no capital will invest so much.
Therefore, the lower limit of film quality is guaranteed, and their works still can not get high box office, which shows that the film market is very difficult, and it is far from easy to get high box office.
At least, several failures have made Huaxia directors and investors realize that they can't make profits by producing high cost works like Hollywood.
There's no way. Hollywood movies are very popular in the global market. Even if they don't make it in Europe and America, they may be popular abroad, such as in Asia.
But basically, Chinese movies can only eat the local box office, it is difficult to eat the foreign market, so the risk is greater.
Chen mubai's investment in such a large film now, in addition to the Chinese local market, also has the American market, which can be regarded as relatively reducing the risk, but the difficulty is still very high.
"I always think it's fake, but it has something to do with Chen mubai. The credibility is still very high..."
"Yes, I certainly don't believe it if it's said by others, but I think it's still possible for Chen mubai. As his girlfriend, Tao Yaoyao should not talk nonsense."
"Chen mubai has long said that he wants to make science fiction movies. Although movies cost a lot of money, the investment of billions of dollars is still too large. Even if we look at Hollywood, it is rare. Is it a bit exaggerated..."
"Judging from the current works directed by Chen mubai, the investment cost of his films has never been particularly high. Except for operation Red Sea, which uses too many militarized weapons and war scenes, these scenes are expensive, but science fiction films do have high costs. It is not impossible that he is willing to invest. Maybe this film has an investment of 300-500 million, But exaggerate to the outside world
"Believe it or not, I believe it. I think Chen mubai can do anything. Don't forget his good development in China. He rashly went to the United States to develop and impact the foreign market. With this momentum, I think he is very likely to do it, and it costs much more money to get a foothold there than to invest in a film, So I think it's true. "
"Other companies dare not say it, but mubai entertainment has made a lot of money, so they have the strength and the courage to do it. I don't think Tao Yaoyao is aimless, otherwise it's not to ruin Chen mubai's reputation..."
"Since it's a sci-fi movie, I believe Chen mubai will never make a bad one. He is willing to invest money to see the special effects in the immortal knight errant drama he recommended before. The special effects are very lifelike, which can show his sincerity. I believe the special effects of this sci-fi movie will not be bad, and the investment is absolutely not small."
"Now I don't know whether it's true or not, but according to the calculation of time, Chen mubai should soon shoot a new movie. When the movie is approved, everyone will know whether it's true or not."
Netizens also divided into two groups to discuss, one believed and the other doubted, mainly because the investment in the film was too large to be trusted.
If it's not on Chen mubai or other people, I'm afraid no one will believe it. After all, in foreign countries, the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is also very few. This level of film investment is, without exception, a blockbuster.
A few movies can be produced in a year. It's a real high-end movie.
If Huaxia can really make such a film, no matter how successful it is, it will go down in history!
A movie with investment comparable to Hollywood blockbusters is enough to shock the whole of China.
......
Chen mubai really didn't know about it. He was so busy that he didn't have time to surf the Internet.
The production of props in iron man has been going on all the time. I have negotiated with Lu Fang about the project approval several times. He is in charge of the post editing and special effects of biochemical crisis, and is lack of skills.
I can't help it. If it's a plot movie, such as death is coming, you can delegate power to others, but not biochemical crisis and iron man. These two movies are the top priority.
One is starring Tao Yaoyao. This is her first personal starring film, so the quality is very important for her, which will determine her position and whether she will have the ability to shoulder the box office alone.
There are also special effects in this movie. Although there are not many, it also involves soft science fiction elements. The final licker is a special effect production. This special effect is also an extension of the special effects of iron man. If the production is not good, the audience will have an impact on the special effects of iron man.
Chen mubai has to pay attention to it. The importance of these two films is self-evident. Iron man has invested billions. Chen mubai does not want to fail, but hopes to soar. This is his expectation.
"That's good. Now it's hot. The preparation for iron man is almost finished. We can set up a project at this time to enhance the influence of the film." Chen mubai said.
Lu Fang nodded: "OK, I'll arrange it. By the way, I'll heat up the topic. When the topic is hot again, I'll announce the project approval of iron man. The rhythm can maximize the influence."
"It's a good introduction. The news of Yaoyao is full of hot spots. Everyone is shocked. They are basically talking about it. Many people in the circle call me to confirm it."
Lu Fang said with a smile: "everyone is very concerned about this matter. Although the investment is huge, there are still many people asking me if I need to invest."
"No need." Chen Mu Bai denied the request to accept the capital injection, shaking his head and saying: "they are not optimistic about us, they just want to return the favor. Even if the investment is only a small amount, it is not worth mentioning."
Even if it is another work of Chen mubai, no one is optimistic that the film can recover the cost. After all, the amount of investment is too large and the risk is greater.
Many people even think that this film may be Chen mubai's work. All his previous works have received huge returns. This time, it may break this record and become the first film to lose money.
"It doesn't matter to them. Fang Mocheng of Huaying takes the lead and hopes to meet you. If you have something to talk about, there will be people from Dow group and wechat." Open your mouth.
Chen mubai frowned slightly and thought, "Hua Ying?"
"What do they want from me?"
China Film Group is a state-owned enterprise and the largest film and television production company in China.
In the past, there was a deal, that is, when mubai entertainment was excluded, Huaying helped them once, and Chen mubai's impression of Mo Cheng was very good.
At least as a semi official person in charge, there is no collusion against him, and his actions have greatly eased the attitude of some companies towards them, which is one of the reasons why they can tide over the difficulties quickly.
"I also received the news today. They specially said that your time is the main time. I hope you can find time to meet." "We should talk about it face to face," Lu said
Chen mubai nodded gently and said, "let's make arrangements. I can make arrangements in the evening or tomorrow."
"Good."
After Lu Fang and Chen mubai separated, he immediately contacted Fang Mocheng to confirm the time. At the same time, he also confirmed the time with Peng Dong and Tao Qingchao of wechat.
The time was soon fixed, and a few people would meet in the evening. It can be seen that the other party is still in a hurry.
"Mr. Chen."
In the evening, Chen mubai hosted a banquet for several people. They met in a high-end private club.
Tao Qingchao and Peng Dong were also present. In addition to Fang Mocheng, there was also a person from Huaying. Han San, chairman of Huaying Group, is also the highest power holder.
Fang Mocheng is the director of the Chinese cinema line of the Chinese film group. He is just the head of a branch of the Chinese film group. Han San is different. He is in charge of the whole Chinese film group and has a much higher position!
What's more, Han San's official position is from the Propaganda Department, and he is also a powerful figure in the entertainment industry, which has a great influence.
Fang Mocheng took the lead in introducing to the public with a smile: "Han San, Han Dong, CEO of Huaying."
"Han Dong Hao."
"Han Dong Hao..."
Chen mubai, Lu Fang, Peng Liang and others said hello one by one, and they took their seats in turn after exchanging greetings.
"Long time no see." Peng Liang took the lead in looking at Han San and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that today it was stained with wood white light, ha ha."
"Yes." Han San is amiable, but his temperament is suddenly different, with a kind of prestige.
"Today, I specially set up this bureau. I just want to discuss something with you. I hope it doesn't hinder your work."
"Not in the way, not in the way..." the crowd quickly answered.
For all the people present, Tao Qingchao and Han San have little to do with each other. They are not the same system. Tao Qingchao is a trade group and is not under the control of the propaganda department. However, at a certain level, it is necessary to make friends with each other.
As a matter of fact, we all know Han San, but there are not many intersections. Chen mubai met him for the first time, so this kind of formal introduction means an attitude. Everyone is a person of the same level and also a kind of respect.
If it is not a level of people, it will not sit together, there is no need to introduce.
Just like when Chen mubai and others ran to the China cinema line to avoid being targeted by the seven major events, they were only interviewed by Fang Mocheng. At that time, their level was not enough to meet Han San.
However, Fang Mo Cheng would not dare to make such a decision without Han San's approval. After all, the other six major groups work together to report the matter in a safe way.
However, at the beginning, Chen mubai and mubai entertainment were only a little famous, and they did not get the attention of Han San. There were many talented people like Chen mubai in China, and the government would give them some preferential treatment more or less. I hope they can make some contribution to the industry.
Just like the relationship between the students in the college entrance examination and Qingbei University, even if they get full marks in the examination, they will not be noticed by Qingbei University, because the level is relatively low and the difficulty is higher in the future. Only when they show higher potential can they get the attention above. If the score of the college entrance examination is close to full marks, the significance will be different, and the attention of Qingbei University will also be welcomed.
Chen mubai was just like a middle school student. At the beginning, he did very well and was a good candidate, so he gave some preferential treatment. Later, the government gave more preferential treatment because they became high score students in the college entrance examination, and they also did very well.
Now, Han San's personal appearance affirms this achievement and shows that the government attaches great importance to Chen mubai. Otherwise, Han San doesn't have to come in person and can send his hands to communicate.
After all, Han San is a powerful man of one side. The communication he will attend is a meeting he attaches great importance to.
"Chen mubai, this is our first formal meeting, but it's not the first time. I've seen you on TV many times, and I like your work very much."
"I'm more handsome and temperament than on TV. No wonder I'm the envy of men. To tell you the truth, I'm also envious."
Han San looked at Chen mubai's handsome and resolute face and said with a smile.
"Ha ha..."
When they saw Han San joking, they couldn't help laughing.
However, we all know that Han San's attitude is to show that he attaches great importance to Chen mubai. Otherwise, he would not use this attitude. It is not like his attitude towards the younger generation, but more like a peer.
All the people present are human spirits. We can find out Han San's attitude through one sentence.
"Yes, I envy it, too." Peng Liang laughed in agreement and said a pun.
"Young, versatile (wealth), versatile (hundred million)"
I have to say that as a man, Chen mubai is really enviable.
First of all, his height and appearance are very outstanding. Even in the entertainment industry famous for handsome men and beautiful women, there are few people who can surpass him in appearance, let alone outstanding talent. This is the envy of every man.
To make an inappropriate analogy, most of the high-level entertainment circle, they are favored by female stars, and the other side tries every means to put themselves into the bed of big men. What they are interested in is not people, but the rights they hold and the benefits they can bring.
However, Chen mubai is different.
His words, I'm afraid many female stars just with his face, want to sleep him, women are also very lustful, who don't want to sleep handsome?
What's more, Chen mubai is so handsome and talented, which is a poison to women.
Compared with appearance, the higher a woman's status is, the more she values not her beauty, but her talent and temperament. In fact, what she values is her ability. Chen mubai's outstanding performance in various fields is the best match among men.
Now, he is only about 30 years old, but he has become a big man. Even the government attaches great importance to his existence. We can see how excellent his ability is!
"I'm a junior. Please don't make fun of me." Chen mubai said with a modest smile.
"Men are all middle-aged people with the greatest charm. They are not only handsome, but also have more precipitation temperament. How else to say that men are forty-one flowers? You elders are at the golden age of life, so you can't envy me."
"That's true, ha ha." Everyone is laughing again.
Here, Lu Fang and Chen mubai are the youngest. Chen mubai is very good at speaking and praises everyone. The atmosphere becomes active instantly.
After the greetings, that's the main topic, and it's also the purpose of Han Sanhao's meeting here.
"I know that you three have set up a company in the United States to attack the local film market in the United States. We are very concerned about this." Han San's eyes swept over the crowd and spoke slowly.
At this time, the cheerful atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and everyone's expression became serious. This is a matter of business. Naturally, we can no longer use the frivolous attitude.
"You are a private company. It's a good idea to have this idea. We will also support the opening up of Xinjiang. However, the government is not suitable to do too many things. It can only give some help as much as it can. I hope you don't mind."
Han Sanxian expressed the official position. Today, he is representing the official opinion of the government.
"Understand." Chen mubai and others nodded their understanding.
They also feel a series of convenience. For example, the official media often praise Chen mubai and his excellent works. In a way, they influence the views of many people.
In particular, "I'm not the God of medicine" and "when happiness knocks on the door" are relatively not particularly cool films. They can still win high box office and get a lot of support from the people, which cannot do without the influence of the official media.
In the minds of the Chinese people, the influence of the official media is very great. Otherwise, many people would not insist on reading those news reports all the time. They can radiate the most aspects.
Just like the TV series "Legend of the swordsman", Nansheng TV station is so happy to allow the TV station and the network to broadcast at the same time. How can it not have the above instructions.
After all, it is a work that can arouse the curiosity and market of foreign audiences, and the country naturally hopes to expand this kind of cultural "invasion".
No one used to be able to do it, but now someone has done it, and they naturally give their full support.
If there is no official support, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to negotiate. After all, for TV stations, any influence on ratings data is very important, and they won't give up too easily, even mubai entertainment.
What's more, the quality of Chen mubai's works is generally recognized as high. They believe that the data will not be bad, and they are not willing to share a share with others.
"However, when you need our help, you can speak up and try your best to meet your needs, such as the warships, weapons and aircraft used in the shooting of operation Red Sea."
Operation Red Sea has indeed won the official support, otherwise there would not be those strategic weapons.
"This time, I heard that you are going to make science fiction movies. I wonder if you have any difficulties?"
Han Sanzhi stopped and said: "this film needs to invest billions of money. If we need money, we can inject money for you. No matter how much the difference is, we will make it up. There is only one requirement, that is, to make the film well, to make this science fiction film come out, and to open the door of Chinese science fiction film!"
Although there are only rumors outside that Chen mubai's sci-fi film will cost billions of money, Han San naturally knows the truth.
Peng Liang and other people's eyes are on Han San, did not expect that he would say this sentence, it represents the official attitude.
Here comes the money.
No matter how the box office of the film is, no matter how much money is lost, the government also hopes to make the film instead of making it casually. It wants to open the door of Chinese science fiction films and let the Chinese people see the excellent science fiction blockbusters belonging to China!
The impact is not measured in terms of money. It's very significant.
Chen mubai, this is the hope of Chinese science fiction film!
"Don't worry, Han Dong, I will make this movie well!" Chen mubai's face was grim, so he immediately issued a military order.
"I don't think about money in the production. I will make sure that the special effects are in line with Hollywood blockbusters, and I will not hesitate to spend any more money! We have also made a lot of money over the years. Coupled with the funds of micro entertainment and Dow group, we have enough funds to use. "
"Good!" Han San's eyes are sharp, and he appreciates Chen mubai's attitude very much.
"Money is not a problem. We can afford to invest from three parties."
Peng Liang and Tao Qingchao followed suit. This is a good thing!
They have done what the government asked them to do, and they will give them preferential treatment in all aspects in the future. This is to compensate them for what they have done.
When people are asked to do things above, they will not be harsh, but will give rewards. For enterprises, this is the biggest help, sometimes more important than money!
"I really have a problem and need help." Chen mubai said.
"What's the problem?" Han San asked.
"The protagonist of this film is a rich second generation. His group is an arms dealer who sells arms to the world all the year round. Many countries in the world take goods from them, and he has a cooperative relationship with the government."
"At that time, we need official help, and we need to show a scene of weapons. At that time, we need to ask the military to help shoot it," Chen said
Han San nodded and said, "no problem, we will go to communicate with the military, and we will certainly meet your needs."
