Chapter 388: Risk
It's just that the funds are overrun, and the cost of additional investment has indeed increased, but if the quality of the finished film is very good, it will definitely be released at the box office next year.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Li really has a good vision, then we have to talk about it. We have invested more than 65 million in the early stage of the whole film, and now the film is only two-thirds of the way through, and there is still a third of the progress to be made, and there will be post-production after the shooting.
In particular, there is a part of the post-production special effects, the cost of this special effects is higher than the cost of hiring actors, and it may even be overspent again, and our previous investors are reluctant to add more, just because the risk is too large, so Mr. Li, do you really invest in us?"
Chen Baichuan directly told the important special effects expenses in the later stage, after all, this is the first film in the history of Chinese film with more than 70% special effects.
also mentioned the biggest drawback of the movie: "Because it is the first sci-fi suspense tomb robbery blockbuster in China, it is likely that it will be difficult to pass the trial in China, and it is likely that it will not be accepted by domestic audiences."
Therefore, even if it is reviewed, the box office may be fluttering because of the subject matter!"
It's not that Chen Baichuan doesn't have confidence in his movie, but after the shortage of funds in recent days, someone really sent a message to Chen Baichuan saying that it may be a little difficult for this movie to pass the review, after all, the review of films in China has always been very strict.
In addition, on the Internet and entertainment newspapers, there are indeed many media who are singing about the movie "Tomb Robbery I", even if there are certain fans who say that they will support the movie of tomb robbery, but more people in the media and the film industry are not optimistic.
It is precisely because of these rumors that investors are reluctant to pay any more money, after all, this movie is as high as 80% and cannot pass the review, and even if it does, the probability of fluttering is also great. What is the use of an actor having strength?
Now they are all popular in Japan and South Korea, beautiful boys and beautiful boys like stars, Huang Bo and Chen Yiming are too ugly, and they are not particularly popular stars, it is difficult to stir up popularity.
Chen Baichuan said so much, mainly because he felt that Li Muyao was a little girl who was not deeply involved in the entertainment industry, but blindly invested 30 million yuan because she liked the book tomb robbery, which was not a decimal.
He Chen Baichuan is a conscientious director, and he can't make a little girl who knows that it may be the worst.
Of course, because of Chen Baichuan's frankness, Assistant Wu and Uncle An's faces turned pale, who let Chen Baichuan say the facts? Li Muyao, a newcomer who invests in the film industry, doesn't understand this, but they do.
Even Chu Ranran was a little entangled and retreated after hearing this, and followed Chen Baichuan's words, and whispered to Li Muyao's ear: "Sister Yao, listen to Director Chen, the probability of this movie hitting the street is too great."
Why don't we look for it again?
Although I don't participate in the investment of tomb robbing, I think Sister Yao still needs to consider it. It's better to use Director Chen's reputation, there will never be a broken capital chain, I'll just say no wonder, Chen Jiao and Chu Ranran heard that Director Chen was short of funds and didn't say that they wanted to invest, and they snickered, those investors who originally paid the money. ”
If I didn't hear Chen Baichuan say this, Chu Ranran really wouldn't think of what he heard from Chu Lili's mother and daughter, but now that they are all connected, they have the answer.
After all, everyone in the entertainment industry recently knows that the former actress and current proprietress of Chu Jixing has been investing frantically in the film and TV circles recently, and she has also been jokingly named the 'golden mother' by everyone.
Li Muyao was very grateful to Director Chen Baichuan for being honest with herself, and then saw Chu Ranran mention that tomb robbery was a movie script that Chu Lili and Chen Jiao, the mother and daughter were not optimistic about, Li Muyao was even more determined to invest in this investment, after all, she wanted to test whether the guess in her heart was really accurate.
Li Muyao smiled and nodded: "You don't need to persuade me, I like tomb robberies very much, and like all book lovers, I hope that all kinds of wonderful plots in it will be put on the big screen."
What's more, any film faction is made from nothing.
As the first person to eat crabs, there is a half chance that it will hit the box office, but there is also a half chance that it will explode.
As for the trial side... When the movie is finished, if Director Chen encounters any problems after review, you can contact me, and I can find a way to solve it. ”
Li Muyao's words were a bit big, and everyone in the audience was shocked by the promise she made.
"Director Chen, I am willing to invest, are you willing to accept it?"
Thirty million is not too much, even if it is a loss, Li Muyao will not be too painful. Besides, Li Muyao just received a text message from Jiang Shusong, saying that the other two pig farms in Yangcheng would be demolished at the end of this year if there was no accident.
This is good news for another birthday present!
"Of course I do! Mr. Li is indeed as persecutive as Lao Liu said, and the young man is very aggressive! Thank you for your trust, an investment of 30 million yuan can account for 30 percent of the total proportion of tomb robbing.
If Mr. Li is not busy, we can talk about the details while having lunch? You see it's time for lunch. The smile on Chen Baichuan's face hung up when Li Muyao was determined to invest, and he became more and more sincere.
Chen Baichuan asked Li Muyao and them to wait for him for a while, and he went to contact the producer and the legal affairs at the end of the play, and by the way, he explained a few words to the assistant director Jiang Tao.
And Li Muyao took advantage of this time to ask the driver to take out the five sets of tomb robberies newly bought on the road from the trunk of the car and hand them to Uncle An for signature.
After signing the name, seeing that Chen Baichuan hadn't come over yet, Li Muyao also mentioned several dark line stories in the tomb robbery that had not been explained to Uncle An, the original owner.
Uncle An gave Li Muyao an answer very seriously, after all, the final outcome of tomb robbery is open-ended.
Li Muyao was still proud when she heard it, so she said the hearts of countless book fans: "Uncle An, why don't you write some extra words for us book lovers when you are free?"
The dark line stories that are not explained in the book have all been answered, otherwise those of us who are book lovers will always feel as if we are missing a voice, and we will feel like we are sorry after reading the book. ”
Uncle An nodded restrainedly: "Okay, when the movie of tomb robbery is finished, I will take the time to write an extra story for you." ”
In the face of an enthusiastic book lover like Li Muyao, because he likes tomb robbing, the father of the owner who is willing to invest 30 million yuan, not to mention just making a small request to write a small book, even if it is a related successor again, Uncle An is also willing.
After all, for Uncle An, this is the first time he has participated in the whole process of film and television, if the effect of tomb robbery I is good, the audience likes it, and the box office is good, there will be tomb robbery II and tomb robbery III...... If you make a series of movies, you can make it up to five!
