Chapter 446: Mockery in the Circle

Although Tian Ming's script uses the large framework of "The Wandering Earth", the specific storyline and character creation have been greatly changed.

After all, the real world is different from Chen Feng's dream world, and many details involved in it eventually led to many changes in the script, which Chen Feng can understand.

Moreover, Tian Ming's script is a little larger in some aspects, the discussion about human nature and the dark side is also very clear, the contradictions of the movie have become more intense, and the plot is full of tension.

After reading the new script in detail, Chen Feng actually had a hearty feeling, relatively speaking, the script written by Tian Ming was a little better than the movie in the dream world!

If it can really be filmed according to this book, Chen Feng feels that this version of "The Wandering Earth" should be even more exciting!

Of course, Chen Feng also put forward some better suggestions according to his own memory, and Tian Ming also attached great importance to Chen Feng's ideas, after all, even the concept of 'The Wandering Earth' was put forward by Chen Feng, and everyone naturally respected his opinion.

However, when making science fiction movies, in addition to the script, the technical conditions that can be used at present are also very important limiting factors, sometimes the script is wonderful and enjoyable, but it is all in vain if it cannot be filmed, so in the run-in process of the script, Fang Cheng, as well as Mike and Jaime, also actively participated in the discussion.

While studying the script, everyone evaluated the conditions required for filming and the investment cost required to shoot the film.

……

Science fiction movies really burn money, and after a period of research, Beidou Entertainment finally gave a preliminary evaluation result.

If you want to shoot all the scenes and stories in the script perfectly, you need a total investment of about 300 million!

This is still an initial estimate and is not very accurate, and there may be more in the future as the shooting progresses.

There is no doubt that this is one of the highest-invested films in the history of Chinese films, and if there are additional additions in the later stage, it may directly rank first!

With such a high investment cost, the box office of the movie in the future will have to exceed at least more than one billion in order not to lose money.

Although there are more and more movies breaking one billion now, no one dares to guarantee that the next film will definitely break one billion.

And it's also a science fiction film, a Chinese science fiction film!

Although Beidou Entertainment's last "Deep Space Trek" has also broken the box office of one billion, the subsequent release of "Escape from the Home Star" directly made the reputation of "Deep Space Trek" drop to the worst, if people know that "The Wandering Earth" is also produced by Beidou Entertainment and is written by Tian Ming, then no one should have any confidence in this film.

Therefore, at this moment, "The Wandering Earth" is facing a very embarrassing situation.

Most people or companies in the outside world are not optimistic about this new Chinese sci-fi blockbuster!

Originally, according to expectations, Beidou Entertainment would invest about 100 million yuan for "The Wandering Earth", and then Chen Feng's Ping An Investment, Tailang Entertainment, and Shushan Pictures would jointly invest another 100 million, and the remaining 100 million funds would be put into the film market to absorb other scattered investments.

But I never expected that when the project of "The Wandering Earth" was made public to the outside world, not too many people were interested in it.

No one wants to invest in this movie!

Even if some people want to invest, most of them just want to invest one or two million to try their luck, and these people just have the mentality that it doesn't matter if they lose, they can make money and go lucky.

In this case, it is difficult to digest the share of 100 million put on the market.

It's depressing.

There's no way, now everyone really doesn't have any hope for Chinese science fiction movies.

Even Beidou Entertainment's behavior was ridiculed by several peer companies in the circle.

Among them is Rongxing Media.

Rongxing Media's "Love Zhi Duo Xing" during October 1 also achieved good box office results, which made them experience the crazy ability of the film market to attract money.

Subsequently, after seeing the popularity of "Escape from the Home Star", they coveted those sci-fi blockbusters abroad, and soon began to use their own resources and connections to prepare for the agency distribution of some imported films.

Although generally speaking, the resources in this area are controlled by some exclusive companies at the upper level, but the backstage resources of Rongxing Media are really strong, and they have really snatched the places of a few films.

This makes Rongxing Media very excited, after all, this kind of thing is almost equivalent to lying down to make money, and, generally speaking, the producer can only take about 25% of those foreign films, and the rest is that Rongxing himself and the theater chain will negotiate and divide, with Rongxing's ability, maybe he can get more.

So, with such a good opportunity, how can they afford to watch Beidou Entertainment's so-called Chinese science fiction movie?

Especially some time ago, the "Deep Space Trek" filmed by Beidou Entertainment has been scolded by countless people, and with such a lesson from the past, the audience and fans should have lost confidence in them.

In the Chinese film industry, science fiction movies really don't have anything to do!

Some other companies, although they do not have resources like Rongxing Media, are also cautious about this new sci-fi project of Beidou Entertainment, and this time, Beidou Entertainment directly released an open share of 100 million, which shows that the investment in the film is at least three or four hundred million, and if you want to invest in such a project to make money, the final box office of the movie needs to be very high.

No one has the courage and confidence to do so.

Even, several parties who have participated in the "The Wandering Earth" project have been ridiculed to a greater or lesser extent.

Chen Feng's Ping An Investment, Xu Tailang's Tailang Entertainment, and Li Ziqiang's Shushan Pictures...... Although many people didn't say it explicitly, they were secretly waiting to see their jokes.

"Science fiction films, hehe, after watching "Escape from the Mother Star" filmed by others, I still have the confidence to engage in Chinese science fiction movies, these people, it's really courageous. ”

"I'm afraid that there won't be any underwear left for the future loss!"

"It doesn't matter, people are rich, such as Boss Chen, he earned 250 million yuan in one movie, what is the loss of such a small amount of money...... Besides, if we succeed in the end this time, we may be able to earn hundreds of millions of ......."

"Wow, I'm so sour!"

……

In recent days, similar remarks have been seen in the circle many times, even Wu Hengjiang, Chen Feng, Xu Tailang, Li Ziqiang, these parties have seen many times, but everyone has not said anything to refute, because at this time, it is meaningless to just fight with words, everything still needs to be verified by the box office results after the film is filmed and released.
