Chapter 89: Watching the Film
"Brother Dong, Assistant Li!" Chen Hao greeted after seeing the two of them.
"The Moon" has been produced, and Haotian, Berner and Huaying agreed to meet at Bernard to see the quality of the finished film first, and then discuss the promotion and distribution of the film.
Yu Dong still chose to come forward in person, but he didn't expect that Huaying would actually be Xiao Li, the assistant to President Xu of the distribution department.
Because of "Comet", Chen Hao and Mr. Xu of the Huaying Distribution Department were a little unhappy, but this Assistant Li said a lot of good things from it, but obviously Mr. Xu didn't listen.
In the end, it was Director Tang of the Huaying Production Department who took the initiative to show his goodwill, and then promoted the cooperation of "Moon".
Now that the two sides are talking about the promotion and distribution of "Moon", it is obvious that Assistant Li is more suitable, and it is also possible that Mr. Xu does not want to see Chen Hao at all, so as not to be embarrassed!
"Brother, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to make a movie so fast!" Yu Dong looked at Chen Hao and said with a smile.
"Comet" was released in early December last year and painted in January this year, and now it is only mid-April, and Chen Hao's second film has actually been filmed, and even the post-production has been completed.
As far as Yu Dong knows, this is a science fiction film with special effects shots, Chen Hao completed the production so quickly, even Yu Dong couldn't help muttering in his heart, this "Moon" will not be a shoddy big bad movie!
It's just that in Yu Dong's impression, Chen Haoke has always been a very calm and thoughtful genius director, so he shouldn't be so disrespectful of feathers.
However, now I can only wait until I finish watching the movie.
"Director Chen, hello!" Assistant Li stood up and nodded.
Chen Hao said with a smile, "If you have a picture in your mind, you can shoot it quickly." Let's watch the film first!"
Chen Hao knew that Yu Dong and Assistant Li might be a little bottomless in their hearts, so they didn't bother to talk much, and everything was based on facts.
"It's okay, I'll talk about it after reading it. Yu Dong nodded.
"I'm okay!" Assistant Li said.
So, the three of them moved directly to Bernard's studio and began to watch Chen Hao's fast-paced sci-fi film "Moon"!
Chen Hao was naturally full of confidence and smiling, but he frowned slightly when he saw the opening animation of Haotian Studio.
Because there is no animation at all, some are the words "Haotian Studio".
It seems that when the matter of "Moon" is over, I have to find Chang Hongsong to make a good opening animation for the studio, after all, this represents the image and corporate philosophy of Haotian, and it is still necessary to beautify it.
At the beginning of the film, after flashing several images of the earth's heavy pollution, it turns directly to the lunar workstation.
After Yu Dong and Assistant Li saw these special effects shots, they couldn't help but lean forward, obviously a little shocked by the realism of these special effects pictures.
There is no doubt that it is the first time they have seen such a real domestic special effects moon footage!
As the film was screened, they were even more surprised that there were not only a few special effects shots of the moon, but more than 20 minutes long, and the lunar rover, mining vehicle, and signal station in the picture were so real.
Even inside the workstation, all kinds of computers, equipment, and cabins that glow with a metallic sheen and look thick and solid, and very futuristic.
There are also fingerprints, eye iris recognition, etc., which sound very high-tech security systems, so that the two of them can't help but shake their heads and praise.
When the movie ended, Yu Dong couldn't help but come over and pat Chen Hao on the shoulder, "Brother, you are really amazing, is there anything else you can't do? Even science fiction films feel the same as Hollywood movies." ”
Assistant Li couldn't help but praise, "The special effects lens of the movie is indeed beyond imagination, it is definitely the best moon special effects lens in the mainland so far, what I want to ask now is that the cost of this movie is really only 10 million?"
Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, in fact, "Moon" only spent a total of 3.5 million after filming!
Don't look at the special effects are good, but many of them are the credit of the realistic model, of course, Chen Hao, who has been baptized by Hollywood blockbusters, also put forward a lot of suggestions with a sense of science and technology in the future, plus the difficulty of special effects is not too great, all models plus special effects, Wutong digital special effects received a total of 2.4 million.
The remaining 1.1 million, because it is a joint investment by the two companies, Chen Hao gave himself a salary of 500,000 yuan for director + screenwriter + producer.
Because Xu Shanzheng was electrocuted for the first time and liked this movie very much, he only took 200,000.
As for the other actors, they are basically cameos, and the crew has been filming in Huaying's studio, and the rent is cheap, so the expenditure is not much.
Chen Hao finished filming "The Moon" without spending any money, with a cost of 10 million on the account, and it is known as 20 million to the outside world!
"It's really 10 million, in order to save money, the special effects artists and I racked our brains, deducting every penny and finishing this movie. Chen Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Hahaha, that's worth it, after all, after watching the movie, no one will believe that the cost of this movie is only 10 million. Yu Dong smiled, "Brother, my brother still underestimates you." ”
"That's true, even if it's the 20 million claimed to the outside world, I think it's less!" Assistant Li said with a smile.
"It's over, since we've watched the movie, let's discuss some publicity plans!" Chen Hao said with a smile.
"The publicity cost is 1 million, and 100 copies are directly produced. Yu Dong waved his hand.
Obviously, the quality of "Moon", especially the special effects lens effects, made him very satisfied, and he was full of confidence in the movie.
"Oh, can Brother Dong still come up with so much money now?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
Previously, in order to win the co-production blockbuster "Legend of Tianmai", Yu Dong opened a guaranteed account sharing model, and directly gave the filmmaker 4 million first, plus 3 million for publicity and printing costs.
In other words, Yu Dong invested 7 million at once, which is a desperate gamble for Yu Dong, who has just started!
Yu Dong was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "When my brother said this, I really don't have any family background, but it shouldn't be too difficult to get together the 2 million money, but it will take some time." ”
Chen Hao heard this, but said, "Forget it, don't bother Brother Dong, I'll pay for the publicity and copying, a total of 2 million, and when the box office is divided, just deduct it from me first." ”
If it is released to the next generation, Chen Hao will directly use the 1.7 million yuan to exchange for the box office of the announcement, but now the box office of the pit father makes Chen Hao feel that it is better to get the money back directly.
Yu Dong nodded when he heard this, which just reduced his financial pressure, and as for Huaying's assistant Li, he had no opinion.
Speaking of which, Huaying is undoubtedly the leading leader in the country in the film distribution, but it doesn't feel very concerned about the publicity, probably because the distribution is too awesome, and I feel that everything else is scum.
The subsequent publicity plan is mainly Chen Hao and Yu Dong to discuss, still following the routine of "Comet", offline because Dong is responsible, and online is still relying on Chen Hao.
