Chapter 81: Preparations for the Great Production

What kind of film is called a big production?

In the United States, it must be a big-name star joining, and then, using all kinds of tall stunts, it's a big production.

But in the current country, the big production is the kind of historical film that Wu Xiang wants to shoot this time, a historical film with magnificent scenes and extremely grand historical films!

How much is the investment in historical films?

"Jing Ke's Assassination of King Qin" invested 80 million, Zhou Xiaowen's "Song of Qin" invested more than 40 million, and the well-known director Xie Jin's "** War" invested 100 million!

This is the 90s, and the historical blockbusters at this time have to have this investment to get them, of course, all of the above films are quite miserable, one is worse than the other.

It is said that Mr. Chen of Hong Kong, the investor of "Qin Song", came in a Mercedes-Benz when the film was started, but when it was released to Pengcheng in the last time, he came to watch the film under the guise of Xiali. (The new picture boss, Zhang Weiping.) )

And everyone knows "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", this film has a good pit for the little devils, of course, there is also a place for their own death.

As for "** War", this film is still good, but the old director's reputation is also ruined here.

All of them are lost, one is counted as one, and they are all big losses. But why did Wu Xiang have to make such an attempt, such a big production?

Very simply, Wu Xiang knows very well that the domestic film that changed the domestic film market is a large-scale and high-cost costume historical martial arts blockbuster.

"Heroes"!

That's right, it is this film that has changed the decline of domestic films all along, and created a new era in one fell swoop, there are also blockbusters in China, and there are also blockbusters that can exceed 100 million!

Wu Xiang just wanted to boost morale at this time, when the domestic film market was extremely sluggish, with a well-made big production. He felt that he could do this now, that his current reputation, that he had the resources at hand, that everything could help him accomplish this great cause.

It can really be said to be a great cause, but in fact, Wu Xiang has a little other idea in his heart, his big plan was not born out of thin air, but because of a certain big event, that is, the big event that made him a 'student leader'.

Let's not talk about the reasons for this, just talking about this historical film, the reborn Wu Xiangzhi said that there are several reasons for the success of "Hero", the script is excellent, the picture is beautiful, the action design is exquisite, there are superstars to help, and so on. But Wu Xiang feels that mainly in this era, the market for costume films is still quite good, and the audience buys it.

Coupled with Wu Xiang's continuous success and the reputation left by the audience, he can do this thing.

The so-called, how many times can life be beaten, let's do it!

But is Wu Xiang's 10 million investment enough?

"Script: Mainly describes the magnificent life of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. …… Kanaya Zangjiao...... Battle Royale ...... Hard...... Attack the Xiongnu in the north...... The Scourge of Witch Gu ...... "This is Wu Xiang's new script, but it is now appearing in Han Sanping's hands. After a brief look, Mr. Han spoke.

"What's wrong with your face? Who did you beat?" The people didn't say anything about the script, but instead cared about Wu Xiang's injury.

Needless to say, this is what I got out of the ditch before, but of course Wu Xiang can't tell the truth, "It's nothing! ”

"You kid need to be careful, how can you still bang on the door?"

"The old man summed up this script. ”

Actually,As far as Wu Xiang's book is concerned,Teacher Han doesn't need to read it.,This guy has something in his head.,The book is definitely not bad.,But the problem is......

"No, I say, why do you have to jump into this big pit? How small is the cost of this love film you are making now? How profitable is this? What do you want? If I were you, write a sequel immediately, and if we don't write a sequel, we will shoot another one that is almost the same. Don't tell me you don't know this, Hong Kong, TAI Bend, they all do this? Can't we learn a little bit? Is this difficult?"

Han Sanping's words are not wrong at all, if you want to talk about making money, this method is the best now, because there are countless sages who have proved this, Hong Kong, Treasure Island, and even Hollywood are doing this.

This is the only way to make money from movies, otherwise how could there be so many sequels?

Don't care if it's art or not, the script is rotten or not, the sequel is really fucking making money!

But Wu Xiang had made up his mind, so he just heard him smile and said: "Teacher Han, how can we say that we are also art workers, we can't fall into the eyes of money, besides, even if I really fail this time, then I will shoot at a small cost, and I will earn the money back?" Let me tell you, this time I really have a lot of ideas, I estimate, how can this box office also exceed 100 million." ”

"Blow you!" Han Sanping said directly, because in the current domestic film market, domestic films of more than 100 million can be counted on one hand, but this is what Wu Xiang said, Han Sanping has a little expectation in his heart. "Why are you so stubborn? Do you have to make this blockbuster?"

"It has to be. "Wu Xiang, this guy is also direct.

"You're really not afraid of losing money?"

"I'm not afraid. ”

"I'm afraid!" Han Sanping said his worries.

Why did Wu Xiang come? Actually, he just came to find investment!

His own 10 million, this big production is definitely not enough, so naturally he has to find someone to help, among the people Wu Xiang knows, who is the most awesome? Of course, it is Han Sanye.

Han Sanye was very worried, but he couldn't help but give Wu Xiang face, "The state subsidizes young directors to make films." What do you think of your kid who meets the criteria for the subsidy?"

"Oh, hehe, and this good thing?" Wu Xiang was not happy?

The state does have a policy in this regard, and it has been doing it all the time, but it's just that amount.

"Hey, I'm going! It's only 500,000 yuan? Third master, can we still have a good and happy play?" Wu Xiang took out the unstinting momentum of the Northeast masters at that time, and this subsidy is almost the same as nothing.

"You kid, don't be too little, how many people are waiting for this money. You really don't want it?" Han Sanping also put it on the shelf.

"Yes, it's a piece of meat. "Wu Xiang now feels that this Han Sanye is even more slamming than himself.

Actually, it's not anything else, Han Sanye is afraid of losing, he's really scared of losing, not only the films I said before, before the integration of China Film, they also invested in a lot of films that lost money and even lost their pants, do you know the famous director Tian Zhuang? He has never made a money-making film in his life, but he is still a famous director, and he is still filming.

If it weren't for the fact that Han Sanye had earned some money in the past two years, he would have lived this life before, hey, don't mention it.

"It's not that I don't help you, it's not that I don't have confidence in you, but I'm really scared now, it's ...... like this"

Without waiting for Han Sanping to finish speaking, Wu Xiang immediately picked up the conversation, "I guarantee that you Zhongying will not lose money?"

"How can you guarantee it?" Han Sanye waited for this sentence.

"If the box office really loses, the loss will be less, but my 10 million loss. If I lose too much, I won't be able to beat my 10 million. Then I'll make you a few money-making films, will this be successful?"

"Cheng!" What else to say, this is a profitable business, and a fool will not do it.

Wu Xiang was so angry in his heart, "What a profiteer!" But he couldn't say it, it was finally negotiated.

5 million, not a single point more, this is the investment given by Han Sanye.

"Hey~ Forget it, it's better than the 500,000. "Wu Xiang can be regarded as negotiating an investment, this thing is really uncomfortable, this is simply begging for someone.

What Han Sanye said is also quite interesting, if you kid can get in touch with Hong Kong and Japan, I can still help you fool around.

Wu Xiang complained in his heart, "Lao Tzu has a relationship with you?" However, Wu Xiang also understood that they had a lot of feelings for Hong Kong Yankees and little devils before.

After arriving at the end of the day, Wu Xiang asked about a matter, which was quite critical.

"Teacher Han, can you help me introduce the teacher Zhao Qingxia who was in charge of costumes in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" back then?"

When Han Sanye heard this, he gave a thumbs up at the time, "You kid is really smart enough!"
