Chapter 492: No Cost, No Matter the Cost (3/5)
After Li Qingfeng returned to the Storm Realm, he immediately began to get busy.
This special effects company, which he has high hopes for, has to say that he is investing regardless of the cost.
At this time, the special effects technology in the storm field has become the leading existence in China.
But the special effects don't determine everything, and the quality of the movie still needs to be controlled by him, the helmsman.
That's why he supervised the whole process.
Special effects are just a tool, and the connotation of the movie is the essence.
The success of Spider-Man in his previous life is of course that the little spider has the ability to fly to the sky, run and leap on high walls, and have the superpower influence that everyone yearns for.
But if that sentence is lacking, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
It's not necessarily that it won't be left behind in an endless stream of superheroes for so many years, rather than being talked about all the time like it is now.
In Marvel, even Iron Man, who rose strongly later, still can't catch up with the popularity and popularity of Little Spider to some extent.
Here's why.
Of course, these two of Marvel's most popular superheroes in previous lives,
In this life, it will undoubtedly be Li Qingfeng's trump card to play the world.
It is impossible to overstate the importance of it.
"Director Li, the entire venue in our movie is modeled after Pearl City.
Landmarks such as the iconic Tower, the Pearl TV Tower, the World Financial Center, and the Pearl Tower have all been included in our scope.
All the later stories will take place here.
Today, as you envisioned, more than one movie will use these scenes, and we've stored all of them for next time......"
Li Qingfeng waved his hand and interrupted Hu Kangcheng's words.
"Don't think about it so much, shoot the first part first, no one can say what will happen in the future,
Spider-Man will be the beginning of our series of movies.
Again, the same sentence, investment at any cost.
Even if "
After a pause, he stood up from the boss's chair after doing his work.
Holding the table with both hands, he stared at Hu Kangcheng and said word by word: "Even if,
It doesn't matter if you don't make a dime from the movie Spider-Man.
This time, I just need the best you give me.
No matter the cost!
No matter the cost!"
Looking at the gaze that was so firm that no one could shake it, Hu Kangcheng's heart was shocked.
He knew that his boss attached great importance to this movie, but he didn't expect his attention to reach such an extent.
Regardless of the cost?!
Whatever the cost?!
What kind of courage is this?
Special effects are money-burning goods.
If he really wants to do what he says, then 500 million can't be stopped.
And now the investment in this film has reached a staggering 150 million.
Then the final cost of the whole movie plus special effects may reach an exaggerated amount of 700 million, or even 800 million.
It's appalling.
This is an era in which 100 million can become a big production, and 300 million is already a super big production.
700 million, projecting the whole of China, can reach this investment, go back to 20 years, and there are very few to talk about.
And these high-cost films, except for one of the emperor's films, are slightly profitable.
The rest of the films, without exception, have not returned to their original capital,
Some even have a total box office of less than 700 million, and the loss is a mess.
The upper limit of all film investment has become a recognized amount in the Chinese industry, 500 million.
Once the tipping point of 500 million is reached, then the cost will be very difficult to recover.
The box office of ordinary directors is only hovering at two or three hundred million,
The prince director can have more than a billion.
And the imperial director is only about 2 billion, and sometimes it can't be reached.
The investment of 500 million means that the box office must reach 1.5 billion to return to the cost.
This high data has already put 99% of directors out.
An investment of 700 million means at least 2.1 billion at the box office to pay for itself.
This risk is simply beyond the sky.
In this case, 700 million can be invested.
Hu Kangcheng was a little skeptical that his boss was crazy and distracted?
Or is it that the honor of the princely director has covered his eyes?
Let the wise and sharp-eyed genius of the past enter the ranks of arrogance and arrogance?
At that moment, I was a little skeptical that I had heard it wrong, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Li, what do you mean,
Do what we give you with the best special effects plan?
Even if it's a plan with at least 500 million investment......"
Li Qingfeng looked at the cautious Hu Kangcheng and nodded: "Is there any problem?"
Hu Kangcheng's expression was breathless, and he said with a wry smile on his face: "Mr. Li, if this happens,
Then the input cost of our Spider-Man will reach a staggering 700 million or even 800 million!!
Even if it only costs 700 million, the box office of the movie must be 2.1 billion before it can be recouped
Like yours "Infernal Affairs" is a minority after all,
So ......"
The tone was full, and the second half of the sentence did not come out.
A phenomenal movie like "Infernal Affairs", the box office can break through 3.5 billion, and it is absolutely impossible to repeat it again and again.
Real life is not a TV series, it is not.
The seven emperors, plus the previous ten princes, did not reach the terrifying achievement of three billion,
Is it really that their ability level is so poor?
Not necessarily.
If you want to reach a certain height, the right time and place are indispensable.
If "Infernal Affairs" is not at the time of the change of the three major lists, the Huaxia Dragon Award will be opened.
At these important time nodes, when the eyes of the whole people are focused on the film and television industry,
It may not be able to set a fabulous record of 3.5 billion.
The times create heroes, the world is stable, and the people are rich, how can there be an emperor who rebels?
Li Qingfeng naturally understood what he didn't say.
Shaking his head, he stretched out his hand and pointed out the floor-to-ceiling window, and chuckled: "Mr. Hu, have you seen the sky outside?"
At 10 p.m., the weather was clear and cloudless.
Below, there was a crowd of people hurrying and the road was full of traffic.
Hu Kangcheng glanced at it and immediately retracted his gaze, puzzled: "Mr. Li, what do you mean by this?"
Li Qingfeng walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and sighed.
"You're standing on the second floor, and there's rubbish all over the floor.
You are standing on the twentieth floor, and what you see is full of scenery.
The pattern of a person depends on his height.
These words, though seemingly meaningless.
However, we have been sitting in the well and watching the sky. ”
Hu Kangcheng was slightly stunned.
""Spider-Man" will inevitably open a new chapter, a chapter created by our Qingxue.
This movie, from the beginning I didn't think about making a profit, and even a total loss I can accept.
Any idea why?"
Hearing this, Hu Kangcheng was really confused.
Not profitable? Seven or eight hundred million just threw away?
This, not a joke?
Even if he sees Guangguang again, no matter how old he is, he is a little confused at this time.
Looking at the back of the heroic and powerful aura, I only felt extremely puzzled.
Why?
