Section 454: Concerns

The exact news sent by Huaying is a press release on their official website.

In fact, the traffic of Huaying's official website is not large, and if you want to talk about the speed of transmission, it will actually be very slow, but in this era, it is impossible to stand up to the forwarding reports of major websites. In particular, the retweet report of some portal websites has a huge influence, so by about 8 o'clock in the evening, the content of this press release has been spread all over the Internet.

It reads like this:

The film project "AVATAR", which is jointly invested by Meigao Pictures, Huaying, DreamWorks and other companies with a total investment of 1.1 billion, is translated into Chinese as "Avatar", which has been completed and will be released worldwide this summer.

In the details of the press release, they also mentioned a lot of substantive content, for example, the chief director of this movie is Shen Huan, and in terms of cast, Shen Huan, Jennifer Weaver, Stendhal Williams, Song Yi and many other actors co-starred......

Chen Wanxian saw this push news on the new blue network, and when she saw this, she felt a sense of confusion.

With the help of network analysis, she has basically determined that Shen Huan should indeed return with her works this time.

The work that can make Shen Huan concentrate on making it for a few years must be a big production, Chen Wanxian has made a lot of guesses about it in her heart, and has magnified it countless times: even if Shen Huan said that his work was invested in 200 million, 300 million, or even 500 million, she felt that she was mentally prepared and would not be too surprised.

But 11 billion ......

She really couldn't have imagined this.

To be exact, I can't even think of it.

"Jennifer Weaver, Stendhal Williams......"

When Chen Wanxian read this press release, Sang Yangdi sat next to her and saw it with her.

was different from Chen Wanxian, who was confused, when he saw this, he silently read out these two names in his mouth, and his eyes were surprised.

As a film lover and half-baked film researcher, he is familiar with these two names.

Jennifer Weaver, a Hollywood actress, became famous in the last century, and the hottest period was in the eighties and nineties of the last century, and she was nominated for three Oscars for Best Actress, three Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress, and one Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.

Like many actresses, as she gets older, Jennifer is attached to her family and gradually fades out of the film and television industry, and she has stopped taking on dramas in the past two years, but she didn't expect to make a comeback in this movie now.

This is not like many domestic movies, just find a white person to boast that he is at the level of a Hollywood star, this is a real Hollywood star.

And Stendhal Williams.

Unlike Jennifer, Stendhal is an actor who is still active in Hollywood, having been nominated for two Oscars for Best Supporting Actor, has performed brilliantly in many high-grossing films, and has starred in some commercial films.

In general, these two actors, Jennifer's Hollywood positioning is "once a first-line female star, and now she is semi-retired", and Stendhal's positioning is "a 1.5-tier male star who is now active in Hollywood". And there is one thing in common between the two, that is, they are quite well-known.

It's a bit interesting to pick two people like this, and the producer chooses them......

No, it should be said that the cast of this movie announced by Huaying is very interesting for the whole selection.

Two Chinese actors, a semi-retired former Hollywood A-line actress, and a 1.5-tier actor who is still active......

This cast, the whole look, really doesn't know how to describe it, there is always an indescribable feeling.

"It turns out that the project they announced back then is this project......

After being shocked, Chen Wanxian thought of another thing, and then muttered to herself.

She still remembers that just a few years ago, on the eve of Shen Huan's sudden retirement, Huaying announced a big news that caused a sensation in the entertainment industry: they cooperated with Meigao Pictures and will jointly invest in a film project with a production cost of more than one billion yuan.

Compared with the terrifying production cost of the Chinese entertainment industry, as well as the transnational cooperation between the two major Chinese and foreign film companies, it naturally caused a big sensation at the time, but then there was no follow-up.

But I didn't expect the follow-up to finally come at this time.

And thinking of this, everything went smoothly: back then, Meigao Pictures and Huaying were engaged in a big project, and Shen Huan participated in this project. In order to concentrate on this big project, Shen Huan retreated bravely with great courage, disappeared in an instant, and concentrated on making movies. It wasn't until today, a few years later, that this big project of transnational cooperation was finally completed, so Shen Huan finally came back.

……

This kind of analysis has also been presented on the news of major portals, so the ins and outs of the matter are now very clear, and the people of the whole network have finally understood what is going on with the hottest thing recently.

In this regard, the comments under the relevant news are also very popular, and the netizens are quite enthusiastic in their speeches.

"My mom, there aren't many movies with a box office of more than one billion in China, right? This movie actually cost more than one billion ...... to make."

"It has to take at least two billion box office to pay off, right?"

"The upstairs looks like a layman, the production cost of 1.1 billion, the estimated publicity cost is also indispensable, and it is possible to exceed 1 billion, adding up to more than 2 billion. According to the box office share of the movie, I estimate that the box office of this movie will be at least more than 6 billion to pay off. ”

"Bragging, right? The production cost is 1.1 billion, why don't I believe it so much?"

"It's rare and weird, isn't it? In China, there are only those with a production cost of more than one billion, but in Hollywood, there are still several films with a production cost of more than one billion yuan. In terms of production cost alone, this movie is not the most expensive movie in Hollywood, but even in Hollywood, it is like a top-level production. ”

"Although I admire Shen Huan's talent, it is really unexpected that Meigao and Huaying dared to hand over such a big project to Shen Huan to direct. This kind of project is enough to attract those top Hollywood bulls to direct. ”

"Brother Huan is awesome!"

"It turns out that he has been quiet for the past few years, and he is just doing such a big thing, I really think he has quit the entertainment industry. ”

"Isn't 3D just a gimmick?"

"It feels like it's a big gamble...... Although I like Shen Huan very much, I am really not optimistic about the outcome of this big gamble. ”

"I'd love to see what this movie with an investment of more than a billion will look like and how it will be different from ordinary movies. ”

……

In Huaying's news announcement and the forwarding reports on these websites, it is mentioned that this "Avatar" is a 3D movie, which is believed to bring an unprecedented viewing experience to the audience, but netizens don't care much about it, and it is rarely mentioned in the comments. Even if someone mentions it occasionally, no one wants to follow the trend and discuss it.

Without him, just because 3D is nothing new for people, there are already some 3D movies on the market. There have been many people who have watched those movies specifically for the gimmick of 3D, but the experience of watching the movie is really indescribable:

I don't feel that there is any substantial gap compared to 2D, and from the perspective of movies, it is not as good as many 2D movies.

After such a few so-called 3D movies, everyone's curiosity about 3D at the beginning faded and didn't care.

Therefore, in everyone's opinion, paying attention to whether it is 3D is far less interesting than paying attention to the production cost and the cross-border cooperation between the two major film companies.

This is the focus of China, but abroad, the focus is different.
