Major film companies are ambitious to make blockbusters, but it is not possible to get the project out in a day or two.

As soon as the investors negotiate, the investment ratio, profit sharing, copyright ownership, etc. are enough to tear up for a while. Second, there will be a battle between script creativity, production director, and protagonist ownership, but there is no way to do it. Unless the leader of the project is extremely strong.

Although Boss Yu is a domineering person, he is really not strong in front of Lu Lin. There is no way, the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" is too high, and the box office share attributable to the producer is as high as 782 million, deducting the production costs and publicity expenses, and the net profit is more than 500 million. For a film group company as big as Bona, last year's net profit could not reach 500 million!

It can be said that as long as the box office account is in hand, Longlin Studio is bound to turn into a dragon, and people can invest in new films with their own money. Since Lu Lin can refuse to be glamorous and a large number of investors who want to stuff money with checks, he chooses to co-produce with Bona. Yu Dong will not be too serious in terms of profit distribution, and will give up the dominance to Lu Lin.

The previous crew of "The Return of the Great Sage" was completely a grass stage team. In addition to being a director, Lu Lin also has to be the director of production. All kinds of expenses of the entire crew from top to bottom, all kinds of big and small things are controlled by himself.

Because there are fewer characters in "The Return of the Great Sage", there are not many crew members, and with the help of a "super microcomputer", it is easy to control the overall situation.

However, now that he is co-producing with Bona, he has to go through a formalized and industrialized production process.

First of all, in terms of investment, the current tentative investment amount for production is 160 million, half of which will be paid by both parties, which will be paid by Bo Na for the time being, and 200 million will be declared to the outside world. As for the cost of publicity and distribution, it will depend on the later effect of the film.

In terms of actors, Brother Chao currently does not have the strength to "carry the box office alone". Fat Di, Yingbao, and Yaya are also newcomers in the film industry. As for the rest of the supporting roles, it doesn't cost much money.

The cost of the crew is several times higher than that of "The Return of the Great Sage". How can I say that he is also a great director, so I can't fall off the forced grid!

The crew of "100,000 Bad Jokes" has a director group, a production team, a photography group, an art group, a mechanical group, a modeling group, a lighting group, a props group, a costume group, a makeup group, a special effects makeup group, as well as an aerial photography group, an action group, a set group, an editing group, a recording team, a kitchen group, a field care group, a driver group and an on-site special effects group.

There are more than ten or twenty people in a group, and as few as three or five people. plus Deng Chao's team, Zhao Liying's team, Tong Liya's team, poor Fat Di and other actors' teams. Not counting the group performance, the peak number of the entire crew exceeded 400 people.

And among these people, except for some former members of the crew of "The Return of the Great Sage", most of them are the Bo Na team, or the people contacted by Bo Na.

Lu Lin is not worried about the crew members, he is now a big director and an investor in this film, who dares to "blow up thorns" and "play tricks" in front of him, it is absolutely a matter of direct dismissal, and no one needs to look at their face.

The only thing that was a little more attentive was to invite two "on-site special effects personnel". In fact, the film special effects company seems to be lofty, but in fact the competition is extremely fierce. There is no way, a lot of technology and software are universal, and the quality of special effects depends more on whether the crew dares to burn money, and is reluctant to burn money.

Of course, the strength of a large company like "Industrial Light and Magic" is definitely better. But special effects lenses are also divided into difficulty levels, and companies that can do special effects lenses of ordinary difficulty really grab a lot of them.

The two Korean "on-site special effects personnel" invited by Lu Lin are very modest, and they are counting on more orders for special effects lenses.

Under normal circumstances, a blockbuster film will not hand over all the special effects shots to a company in order to be in a hurry, because it is too time-consuming. Instead, it is graded according to the difficulty of the lens and handed over to companies of different strengths.

In the film "100,000 Bad Jokes", for the purpose of covering people's ears, Lu Lin also had to subcontract a small number of special effects shots that were not very difficult. But most of the shots have to be taken by his "super microcomputer".

However, in order to get the accounts right, the special effects studio must be established. But it will have to wait for the box office account distribution of "The Return of the Great Sage" to arrive, before the movie is finished.

However, in other words, this box office account distribution payment arrival cycle is really too cheating, Lu Lin can compress it to about four months, or Yu Dong did not press Long Lin's account period in order to cooperate with him. If it is changed to another production company, this fund will not be in Bona's account for half a year, do you still want to see the money?

On March 10, Lu Lin's new film "100,000 Bad Jokes" was launched at Huairou Film and Television Base.

It was really a media gathering that day, but after seeing the title, the reporters were stunned, and once thought they were on the wrong set.

100,000 Bad Jokes? Director Lu, are you sure you're not funny? Otherwise, you're doing something!

Some people speculate that Lu Lin made a lot of money on "The Return of the Great Sage", and this time he actually played so jumpy. Didn't you say that it was the first science fiction film in China? What the hell is a bad joke?

As a producer and producer, Yu Dong was also helpless when he was asked about the origin of the title when he was interviewed by reporters, and said in his heart: "How do I know what the hell it is? Director Lu has such a big brain, who knows what he thinks, even if he wants to make any sci-fi comedy, he doesn't need to call it a cold joke!"

Yu Dong refused to answer, so Lu Lin naturally explained: "I saw a comic serialization called "100,000 Bad Jokes" on a comic website called Youqi before, and I thought it was quite interesting at the time. Later, when I was thinking about a new film, I wanted to make a more brain-opening and creative film. Then there was a script, and I slowly polished it. Because it's a more brain-opening sci-fi comedy style, even the name is special!"

The comic "Ten Cold" was only serialized on "Demonic" in June 10, and not many chapters have been drawn so far. It can be said that in addition to the same name, the "Ten Cold 2" in the previous life, and the current "100,000 Bad Jokes" movie, have no connection with comics at all.

Lu Lin is not short of money to buy copyrights, but the problem is that he doesn't know what to buy! If he looks for it at this moment, the other party will be even more confused, what? Why do you want to buy the name "100,000 Bad Jokes"? Big brother, are you sure you're not here to be funny.

Therefore, Lu Lin decided to help promote the "Ten Cold" comics and the company Youqi. I believe that after his publicity, the "demonic" company and the comic book author can benefit a lot!

The name or anything is not actually the focus of the reporters. The heroine of the film, the girl who is said to be a freshman, is what they want to interview the most.

The two billion director, the lucky heroine of the new film, how was she chosen. A blockbuster with an investment of 200 million, how many inside stories are there in this, reporters are very excited when they think about it!
