This kind of entertainment news.

If the manuscript is not 'compiled', how many people will read it.

"Hello Director Li, I want to ask you how much the investment in this movie is, I haven't seen you promote it before, we don't even know the start time of the movie, you have done a good job of secrecy. ”

A reporter stood up and asked.

Such a 'serious' question, needless to say, is naturally trusted.

Li Xi came to his senses, turned his head to look at Pu Chaodong, who was sitting below, and a number popped out of his mouth that made the reporters below almost go berserk. "Fifteen million dollars. ”

Rumble.

There was an uproar.

The whole press conference exploded.

The heads of these entertainment reporters are buzzing.

What did they hear?

$150 million.

Not RMB.

Not Hong Kong dollars.

Not even the yen.

Even if it is 150 million yuan, it is a huge amount of money in this era, looking at Li Xizhao on the stage, their first reaction in their hearts is to exaggerate, exaggerate for the sake of hype.

I don't want to believe it at all.

Li Xizhao looked at the expression of the audience with satisfaction.

is to achieve this effect, to say that the real investment, after his director's budget is less than 30 million yuan, because it is basically done in the studio, there are not many group performances, the actors are not well-known, and the salary is low.

The film.

The actors' salaries, plus the salaries of all the staff, are only less than 15 million yuan.

The other costs are mainly in the construction of photographic equipment and shooting venues, which can be reused, so 30 million yuan is an investment other than the special effects of this film.

As for the cost of special effects.

Li Xizhao didn't know.

He's seen the VFX team at work.

That short contact, that god-like speed, made Li Xizhao not believe how much money this thing could consume, but in terms of movie profit sharing, the company's special effects are worth so much, as a package price of 70 million US dollars.

This is the price decided by Tang Qing.

So here's the problem.

Does Comet Film and Television need to pay so much cash to the special effects company, which is nearly 600 million yuan, which is about the same as the market value of Comet Film and Television, and Comet Film and Television can't take it out at all.

The answer, of course, is no.

The special effects company signed something similar to a sharing agreement with Comet Films, with the right of first refusal, 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 Film and Television didn't have a penny.

If there is a shortage of special effects companies, they will not continue to ask for it, which is equivalent to saying that profits will give priority to repaying the production costs of special effects companies.

If it exceeds 70 million US dollars, the extra part is what Comet Film and Television can get.

So, Tang Qing passed the method of 'credit' and completed Comet Film and Television's investment in this drama, which is a bit unfavorable to Comet Film and Television, if it can't make money, the company will lose money, but will this movie lose money?

Of course not.

On the other hand, it is also a suspension of the payment of Comet Film and Television.

Evaluated.

Such special effects, in the hands of Western special effects companies, don't want to get out of 100 million US dollars, this price of 70 million US dollars is already very favorable, and you can still pay on credit, not even a penny in advance.

It can be described as a cooperation clause that everyone is happy with.

This kind of left-handed to right-handed thing, Tang Qing feels that it is very necessary, the asking price is high, if there are other people who want to do special effects in the future, they can also ask for a high price, otherwise? Say that my special effects cost 20 million US dollars?

Isn't it hard to get along with money?

I can blow it.

Just blow a little higher.

It can also give people a sense of being tall.

As for the real cost of special effects, even if you add the exchange of intelligence analysts, it will only be tens of millions of yuan, and if you don't need to invest any more in the future, this movie will be able to earn back tenfold, plus the profits of Comet Film and Television, Tang Qing has already planned how to do things.

"Director Li, are you telling the truth? 150 million US dollars, how can this be... Another reporter raised his hand and asked, he can't accept this price anyway, a Chinese science fiction movie, 100 million yuan is a 'magnificent masterpiece'.

Li Xizhao nodded very seriously.

"Yes, this movie does invest so much, mainly on special effects, and when you watch the movie, you will know that this investment is really not high. ”

The reporter wanted to ask again.

But other reporters quit, one by one, this is the rule.

Li Xizhao had no choice but to click on the next reporter.

"Hello, Director Li, can you tell me why you chose some new faces in the first place? Why don't you invite some well-known people, even if you go in and show your face, you can increase your attention. ”

This question made Li Xizhao feel comfortable.

It's good that there are no weird questions.

Entertainment reporters always like to ask questions, a new film press conference, many times just ask about the scandal conference, it can be angry, but it is not easy to offend, otherwise it is not good to say that you are playing a big name and crooked mouth.

Entertainment News.

The bottom line?

Inexistent.

Is there a bottom line and anyone else watching?

Lean.

"Ahem, that's a good question, before that, when I got the script, I knew that this was a serious sci-fi movie, not a comedy, and the theme was not love, family and other American blockbuster elements.

It's a movie full of serious collisions of ideas, and the investment is huge, especially the special effects, so I thought about whether to hire some 'suitable' actors, after all, we should also give young people more opportunities.

The actors in this drama are carefully selected, and the filming also proved that I have a good vision, they do have great potential, strength, and they work very hard, so that I can see the theme of this movie... ”

Li Xizhao went around in a circle, and Gu Zuoyan said to him.

But the entertainment reporters here all heard what he meant.

No money.

If you can save, you will save.

I can't afford to invite a big actor.

All the money was used for special effects.

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

One by one, I can't cry and laugh in my heart, you just say that the budget is not enough, and there are a lot of Balabalaida, as if it is really like that, but all the curiosity in my heart has been aroused.

What will happen to the $150 million investment in Chinese science fiction movies.

Li Xizhao was also a little embarrassed when he said it, but think about it, if you don't feel embarrassed, how can you say it.

The next press conference started the normal mode.

For the actors on stage.

The reporters' questions and answers are decent, there is no way, where are these little actors newsworthy, even if there is a scandal, no one pays attention to it, so let's ask a few words casually, go back quickly, the main news point this time is investment, which can also attract some eyeballs.

Wait for these little actors to become more famous.

Then Comet Film and Television began to make efforts to hype, and they would be interested in following things.

Thereupon.

In a harmonious atmosphere.

The press conference is over.

Just ten minutes after the end.

The online media began to exert their strength, all kinds of pop-ups and entertainment headlines were bought by Comet Films, and the promotion of TV and paper media has not yet begun, just waiting for them to write a good draft.

Television campaigns focused on the afternoon news, and the newspapers waited until tomorrow morning.

Under Zheng Lin's operation, the CCTV news channel at night will read a piece of related news, which is not only Zheng Lin's operation, but also under Meng Rongfei's spontaneous publicity, the number of people who have watched this movie is increasing rapidly.

Popularity is also well known within the department.

In particular, the relevant authorities in this regard.

Everyone is an acquaintance, and if you chat, you can talk about this movie.

No matter what aspect it is, this is a sword that can help Chinese films open up the world market, so even faintly formed this kind of promotion style, from top to bottom, and spread extremely quickly.

Later people can't watch the film though.

But it has an upward and downward effect.

It's always no problem to blow it, so this wind has already helped, just waiting to blow all over the land of China.

。。。

United States.

California.

Motion Picture Association of America Headquarters.

Unlike the censorship system in China, American movies are classified system, and if you shoot them, you can release them if you have the ability, but you must restrict the age to watch, restrict whether you need to be accompanied by parents, and so on.

Such a system should be said to be good.

Because of freedom.

But there are also some very bad sides.

is that many movies are full of a lot of violence, prohibited items, female sex and the like, and the visual and psychological impact on people is very great, after all, whether it is in the movie or outside the movie, many American stars are using prohibited items.

This is nothing short of an abetment.

Although age viewing is restricted.

But.

Whose parents want their adult children to be infected with those bad habits, alcoholism, violence, sex, illegal drugs, etc., this is also the reason why the Chinese classification system is slow to move, because public figures have too much influence on people.

Especially this kind of thing that may involve tens or even hundreds of millions of moviegoers.

Once it is not affected, it is not a family.

It's a flood.

Think about it, your baby watched a movie and suddenly became curious about something, such as, what it feels like to smoke prohibited items, what it is like to change a partner a day, or what to do with many people, and become interested in seeing blood with knives...

Once your child is in action.

Then it's time for you to smash the movie theater, I guess you have the heart to strangle the director and the actors, freedom, freedom, you MMP, you who haven't experienced it will never understand how deep that hatred is.

Therefore.

In China, even if a film is classified, it is always based on censorship.

freely

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

After watching the movie submitted by Comet Films.

The whole set was quiet, and the members of the association were still in the shock of the previous scene, what did they see? It was a real visual feast and a spiritual enjoyment.

Huaxia can actually make a movie of this level.

Suddenly they had the feeling that a wolf was coming.

In the past, the world film market was the world of the West, and the United States was always the exporter of the world's advanced film culture, but now it has been broken by this movie in front of me, and now the movies of the East have been improved to this point?
