Lin Mu and Yanzi said exactly what he thought.

In the play Red Sea Turtle, the investment in the whole drama is 20 million, but in fact there is not so much, 10 million is almost the same, after all, there are few actors, and there are no other additional expenses.

Most of the money is spent on special effects, which is about 90% of what it looks like.

In other words, a movie that has invested more than 11 million yuan, eight or nine million of them are lost on special effects, which is still a situation where the requirements for special effects are not very high.

The loggerhead turtle only needs the special effects and background of the ocean, which is simple in the special effects, and then think about Zhu Xian......

Whether it is the appearance of the Zhuxian Sword, or Zhang Xiaofan's monkey, or the special effects every time there is a fight, or even the several main peaks of Qingyunmen, they all need special effects.

It is conservatively estimated that if Zhu Xian is filmed to the extent of the red sea turtle, the cost of special effects should exceed 20 million.

In fact, Lin Mu was also very hesitant at the beginning, is it a good choice to start a special effects movie in a hurry at this time, what if he can't return to his roots, and the export of pure oriental fairy tales is also a big problem.

However, the situation of chasing the murderer in the white night made him see the current market, and also underestimated the current market's acceptance of good movies.

What kind of era is 10 years?

It is probably the era when a lot of capital has entered the market, as long as you have money, no matter what you did before, you are rushing to jump towards this pit in the entertainment industry, and just pull a few people to register a company and then start recruiting people to film.

This situation started in 05, and no one paid attention to the domestic film market at the beginning.

Because at that time, the market was still deserted.

Barrenness is not the same as what you can do if you make a movie, it also takes time to operate and explore little by little.

According to the report on the domestic film market in recent years surveyed by the people of Lin Mu Company, it can be seen from the data that the development of the domestic market is very rapid.

In 05, the total domestic box office output value was 2 billion, 06 years 26, 07 years 33, 08 years was a jump, perhaps because of the Olympic Games, the total box office value of that year was 4.4 billion.

In 09 last year, it was 6.3 billion, which is even more terrifying than the previous increase.

This data is certainly because the market has been developed, and because filmmakers have gradually grasped and understood what is a good movie that the audience wants to see, of course, you still can't deny that the number of films made every year is gradually increasing.

In 08, including imported foreign films, the number that can be examined in the domestic box office data is 97, and in 09 it is 129.

There are more than 30 more movies, maybe you just look at a number, you will think, hey, it's just more than 30, it's nothing!

But if you integrate this data, twelve months a year, 129 movies are just erasing the fraction, it is also 120, an average of ten movies a month, please, even if there are more domestic people, who can withstand this!

The ticket price of movies has also been increasing, from the initial two yuan to the current fifteen yuan, ten films a month is 150, and the current salary level in this era, there are a few ordinary people who can bear it.

From the total box office and the number of movies filmed, we can actually see the current situation of domestic films, and most people still can't make ends meet.

As far as 09 is concerned, all the movies produced by Linmu Company should have taken more than 800 million, of course, this is only a total box office, and less than a quarter of it must be obtained, and the investment must be converted.

The total box office of 6.3 billion Lin Mu has been demolished here, and the number of scenes filmed is only a fraction of 129.

Where do the other 120 dramas go to divide the money, either they go out of business, or they are filming that is not for the purpose of making money, such as washing something!

In short, in the final analysis, the domestic film market seems to be prosperous, but it is actually very weird, and many people are confused, because there are indeed some people who do not want to make money, but simply want to exchange the money in their left hand for their right hand, even if they take out part of it.

This creates a seemingly flashy but precarious void.

This is also because although Lin Mu's company has been working hard to produce, it has basically never exceeded 20 million big productions, just for fear of losing money.

The white night chasing the murderer seems to be very moving this time, but in fact, the investment is not much, more than 20 million, which also counts the remuneration of Lin Mu, and it is even less if this is demolished.

As for why it's cheap, firstly, everyone is familiar with the actors, and secondly, it is because the people he invited are really cheap!

Wang Kuirong, I am familiar with my face, let's talk about my acting skills, I still have a lot of roles in the play, and I only took 200,000 yuan when I talked about the salary, do you dare to think about it?

Jiang Wu accompanied Lin Mu from the beginning to the end of the weekly patrol, and the salary was only a million yuan, and there were quite a few scenes.

This situation is very prevalent in the capital, and the prices of the older generation of actors are not outrageous when they ask for money, but the prices of some actors who have just debuted or become famous are outrageous.

Chasing the murderer in the white night makes a lot of money, which is wholly owned by the forest company, because chasing the murderer in the white night is the beginning of the series of movies in the ten-year plan he formulated for the company, and the copyright must be held in his own hands.

This big profit made him see the situation of the domestic market, and he also had the confidence to open up immortals.

That's why we have a cooperation with the Tang people.

However, the cooperation with the Tang people is probably more like looking for an OEM person on Lin Mu's side, and packaging the filming thing to the Tang people as a business.

Dividing the roles of the Tang people, one is that some are indeed suitable, and the other is to avoid the Tang people from working hard, and working for themselves is more difficult than for others, which is also human nature.

As Yanzi said, chasing the murderer in the white night proves Lin Mu's keen sense of smell and control over the genre film market, so Cai Yinong can't wait to finalize the cooperation with Lin Mu.

After all, in the past, it was always large companies like Yinghuang or Huayi that cooperated with Lin Mu, and they were in the circle.

And Tang people have always been on the edge of TV and movies, although they have also made movies, but like Rong Xinda, they are basically drifting, and now there is an opportunity to try to transform, no one wants to give up, especially when the development of the Internet has led to the rapid development of the online video industry and then impacted the traditional media.

However, business is such a thing!

Lin Mu will take advantage of other people's weaknesses and wait for the price to sell, and will also pretend to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger for others, so this ability to hang people's appetite is naturally known!

……

The rest of the loggerhead turtle filming ended earlier than expected, in a week's time.

If it weren't for the little actor Ning Hao was looking for, it was estimated that it would have been earlier, Lin Mu and Zhou Gongzi did not agree with Lin Xiaowei or Lin Xiaoxun to replace the little actor to play the children of the two people, although it would be very harmonious to shoot.

For this, Ning Hao specifically asked Lin Mu after filming.

That's how Lin Mu replied to Ning Hao.

"My son, well, is a bit introverted, stuffy, and there is definitely no drama in acting!"

"My daughter is okay, quite outgoing, sensible and clever, but ......"

"This place is so messy, so dirty, I don't really want her to be blackened!"
