Chapter 162: The Animal World (4/6)

"The God of Medicine" premiered to thousands of people, and the word of mouth exploded.

Such a big thing happened again at the Shanghai Film Festival, Wang Changtian must have known.

"Wang Dong..."

After the three of them said hello, Wang Changtian looked at Shen Ming, who thought about it and nodded: "It's really good, anyway, it's the most mature movie I've seen in theaters in recent years!"

“… When will it be released?"

"I don't know about this, around July 5th!"

Wang Changtian sighed...

"Animal World" will be released on June 29th...

This year's summer blockbusters gathered, "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "Evil Does Not Prevail Over the Right", "Skyscraper Rescue", "Di Renjie's Four Heavenly Kings", "The Richest Man in Xihong City"...

Throughout the summer vacation in July, there will be a heavyweight blockbuster on almost every weekend.

In August, there are also "A Good Show", "Megalodon", "Love Apartment", "European Raiders"...

Lao Wang felt that he was too difficult!

"Animal World" has invested 300 million, and Wang Dong is also ready to create a blockbuster?"

“… I wasn't going to spend that much money... Han Yan overspent three times..."

Let's just say that Wang Changtian can't be sure that Li Yifeng can pull a billion box office!

At the beginning, the budget of "Animal World" was 120 million!

The biggest investor is Pony...

I have always insisted on making movies with Internet logic!

bought the super IP "Gambling Apocalypse" for adaptation, invited top traffic stars to star, invited a very good director team, "Animal World" is like this, "Shanghai Fortress" is like this, "Zhu Xian" is also like this...

Capital has completely stinked popular stars, ruined the film market, and destroyed domestic films, will these people who made bad movies and made money regret it?

They won't!

They clapped their hands and turned around to follow Hollywood blockbusters like "Wonder Woman" and "Venom: Lethal Guardian"...

Back to "Animal World", Han Yan wanted to make this thing into a special effects blockbuster, and exceeded the budget three times in a row, and forcibly tossed a movie with a volume of 120 million to 300 million!

Investors can only add money three times...

Shen Ming looked at Huang Bo and asked his soul: "Why don't they invite me?"

“… You're out of schedule!"

"You're too expensive!"

"Where am I expensive, I really convince you, my basic salary is 2 million, two million, less than one-tenth of yours!"

“… But I don't have a follow-up profit share!"

"That's because you don't dare to bet, top traffic like me dares to ask for late profits, I don't want a basic salary!"

Wang Changtian sighed: "If all young actors have such confidence, our production costs will definitely be able to be suppressed!"

"Wang Dong, when will "Animal World" be released?"

"The day after tomorrow!"

“… Okay, let's go and cheer when the time comes. ”

……

Regarding the matter of injecting money into the color bar house alliance, Shen Ming called to ask Dante's opinion.

The latter was optimistic, he checked the list of striped houses, and then found that the light intended to form an ancient mythology series...

"Nezha", "Jiang Ziya" and "Phoenix"...

In addition to these three, there are also "Mr. Miao", "Big Fish and Begonia 2", "Deep Sea", and "The Great Sage Haunting Heavenly Palace", the latter two are the works directed by Tian Xiaopeng!

One is related to Chinese mythology, and the other is IP works or sequels of directors that have achieved good results before.

Dante summed it up: the investment prospect is good, but patience is needed!

Of course, he didn't say how much to invest ...

Maybe he thought that Shen Ming was going to spend tens of millions of dollars to play...

It's a support for Chinese animation movies!

Then after careful consideration, Shen Ming invested 200 million, accounting for one-tenth of the share capital of the color bar house...

Of course, he is provoking investment, not blind investment...

The so-called blind investment is to hand over the money to the film company, and the film company will arrange what movie to invest in.

In order to show his sincerity, Wang Changtian really asked Shen Ming to pick ten plays...

Shen Ming's dancing is basically an ancient mythology series, such as "Nezha", "Jiang Ziya", "Phoenix" and other ten movies!

It seems that 200 million is a lot, but when it is apportioned, each play is only 20 million, and the production cost of ancient mythology is quite high, and the production cost of "Nezha" is more than 80 million...

Shen Ming's 20 million accounts for a quarter of the investment at most...

……

In fact, "Animal World" is not a commercial film of the popular genre!

There's nothing to say about the plot, it's just an overhead island game...

Three-stage ratio: childhood sweetheart, teenager gambles on his life, sticks to morality;

Sequential shooting!

At its core, it is a work of darkness and depiction of human nature.

Therefore, at the beginning, it had a budget of 120 million yuan, and Li Yifeng was invited to play the starring role, which is very reliable!

It is estimated that the producer wants a box office of 300 million, plus the follow-up copyright development, it is not difficult to recover the cost.

The first part is mainly word-of-mouth!

But Han Yan is too sassy!

There are enough materials for all kinds of special effects scenes, and the scenes of animal transformation are real and shocking enough, car chase scenes, explosion scenes, action scenes... Fill the plot to the brim.

But these special effects scenes and action scenes are not "necessary" for the main plot line.

Most of them exist in the imagination of the protagonist...

In other words, deleting all these elements that the audience likes to see has no impact on the plot itself.

Anyway, from the producer's point of view, this movie burned at least two-thirds more funds!

In Hollywood, these so-called highlight shots must be cut by the producer's budget, and only under the system of a director center like my country can there be such embarrassing results.

Judging from the results, although these special effects cannot be said to be meaningless, it may be more bright spots to spend money on the blade and polish the plot.

Especially in the first five minutes, an almost meaningless background is designed, and 80% of the special effects in the story are piled up with this background, but this background has no actual promotion to the story.

I heard that one of the car chase scenes was filmed for a whole month, and I don't know if the producer will be rude when he sees what happened before and after the car chase scene...

Also, none of them can compete with the protagonist to the end of the villain, and it weakens the protagonist's inner world too much.

As far as the plot is concerned, the protagonist has never encountered a setback in the real sense, and has broken through adversity with it, and there is nothing wrong with the reasoning, but it is too basic to make people feel that there is no cathartic pleasure!

However, Li Yifeng's acting is okay, but it is not to the extent of 'explosive acting' and 'the most amazing one ever'...

may have low expectations for him, so, if you are a little more normal, you can call it an explosion of acting skills!

The clown who flashed at the beginning of the camera reminded Shen Ming of an audition film that Warner Bros. handed him...

That movie seems to be called "Joker", which is "Joker"...

Originally, Shen Ming didn't have much interest, because that drama was R-rated and it was unlikely to be introduced to the mainland, and he always felt that with Heath Ledger's clown in front of him, it would be difficult for him to surpass it...

But now, I suddenly have the idea to take on a challenge!
