Chapter 1112 Keep Shooting
Chapters 1112 continue to be filmed
The news of the completion of "The Matrix" spread like crazy throughout the entertainment industry.
At the beginning, Jiangxia invested 600 million to make a blockbuster, and everyone was wondering how Jiangxia spent the 600 million.
Now that the film is finished, how much did Jiangxia's 600 million cost?
A lot of people are curious about this.
Qianqiu Pictures did not hide it, in an interview with You Fangfei, You Fangfei said: "The Matrix has finished filming, we still have more than 400 million funds left, we will draw 300 million to make special effects, and the other 100 million will be post-production and publicity of the film." ”
Generous.
Qianqiu Pictures made a big deal as soon as it made a move.
When Cheng Xin was guarding Hengying, she didn't have such a big hand, Cheng Xin was more influenced by Cheng Hengyu to engage in the real economy, so she was buying theaters and shares in other companies, so she was making such a big deal about a movie, Cheng Xin really wouldn't do it.
Other domestic entertainment companies have not been so generous.
Shengshi is known as the first brother in the industry, but he didn't dare to invest 600 million to play a movie, even if he wanted to do this, Ye Yu would stop him with all his might, without Jiang Xia, who would dare to play so generously?
Some people are also curious, isn't Qianqiu Pictures afraid of losses?
So, someone asked You Fangfei.
You Fangfei replied: "Afraid, why aren't you afraid? But you can't stop doing it because you're afraid." Hollywood blockbusters can invade the world, and so can our movies. Even if this movie loses money, we will continue, and the only one that can compete with Hollywood super blockbusters is super blockbusters of the same level, and we at Qianqiu Pictures firmly believe in this, and it is our duty to compete with Hollywood. ”
The slogan of confronting Hollywood was shouted, which made many people in the industry look at Qianqiu Pictures with admiration.
Over the years, countless people have shouted that Hollywood blockbusters cannot be allowed to continue to wreak havoc on the Chinese film industry, but domestic films are really not powerful and cannot compete with Hollywood blockbusters at all.
Movies that can compete with Hollywood blockbusters have chosen to avoid schedules, even Jiangxia's movies, and one movie after another rarely hits blockbusters.
How to compete with Hollywood blockbusters is actually a headache.
I have interviewed many entertainment companies, but these entertainment companies are also helpless.
It's not that they don't want to compete with blockbusters, they really can't.
The investment of a movie is close to 300 million US dollars, equivalent to 2 billion yuan, and the box office of a domestic movie may not be so high, how can it be compared with others?
If you want to compete with Hollywood blockbusters, you must enter the global market to occupy the box office.
Over the years, there have only been two Chinese films that can dominate the global market, one is Jiangxia's "The City is Full of Golden Armor", the other is Jiangxia's "Infernal Affairs", and the others are gone.
Even Jiangxia's other movies can't dominate the global box office market, let alone these people in China.
As a result, it can only import blockbusters, not so many blockbusters, and in order to maintain the prosperity of the film market, it has launched a domestic protection month, so that domestic films can have a respite.
Qianqiu Pictures' approach has made people in the industry very uplifted.
An investment of 600 million, counting some scattered investments, there must be 100 million dollars.
For a Hollywood blockbuster, $100 million is not much, and it's even just promotional money, but in China, it's definitely second to none.
After Jiang Xia's "The Matrix" was filmed, everyone wanted to see how much box office this movie could have, and if it could really completely open up the world market for domestic films, major companies would not be stingy with money to make high-quality movies and then test the water.
However, the news that everyone was waiting for was that in early September, Qianqiu Pictures held a press conference.
At the press conference, You Fangfei announced the plans of Qianqiu Pictures for the new year.
All ten episodes of the first season of "Zhu Xian" have been filmed and will be broadcast on Ludong TV on October 1 at 10 o'clock on Wednesday night, with an average duration of one hour per episode and the last episode reaching 70 minutes.
In addition, Qianqiu Pictures will carry out a second TV series plan, and the TV series will cooperate with a military region to shoot "Soldier Assault".
After Jiang Xia finished "The Matrix", he rushed to work for half a month to rush out the script of "Soldier Assault", only the final polish remained, and there was not much to modify, so he handed it over to the director and actors to revise on the spot.
The third thing is to announce that the release schedule of "The Matrix" will be the Spring Festival of the year after tomorrow.
This year's Spring Festival file is "Infernal Affairs 2", next year's Spring Festival file is "Infernal Affairs 3", and the next year's New Year file is "The Matrix".
Jiang Xia took a look at the Spring Festival stalls, and didn't even think about the New Year stalls, just stared at the Spring Festival stalls and didn't let go.
In fact, many people want Jiang Xia's "The Matrix" to collide with foreign blockbusters, but when the schedule is set, they have no choice but to despise Jiang Xia for continuing to grab the box office.
The fourth thing is to announce that Qianqiu Pictures has signed three new artists, two newcomers, and one of them jumped ship when his contract expired.
The three artists also met with everyone.
The fifth thing is very puzzling, because You Fangfei announced the plan for the second part of "The Matrix".
With an investment of 800 million, is it really good to play so big before the first part of "The Matrix" is released?
There was an uproar in the media in the audience.
Even Hollywood blockbusters don't dare to play like this.
The investment of 600 million, I haven't seen the shadow yet, and 800 million has been smashed in, is Qianqiu Pictures crazy?
However, soon, they got the news that there were two more giants in the investors of the second part of "The Matrix".
One is Hengyu Group, not Hengyu Pictures, but Hengyu Group.
The other is a company based in the UK.
These two companies, one was invested by Cheng Xin and the other was invested by Moses.
Although Qianqiu Pictures has money, it can also be obtained, but if Qianqiu Pictures is really allowed to invest alone, You Fangfei does not dare to bet on this, although she continues to boast and lose, but when she really does it, she must also consider the actual benefits of the company.
Once "The Matrix" really fails, Qianqiu Pictures wants to continue to get up, I'm afraid it will have to wait for a while.
With Cheng Xin and Moses as the two local tyrants, You Fangfei is not afraid of this.
She only announced the news of the second part of "The Matrix", and did not announce the third part of "The Matrix", and the two Jiang Xia decided to shoot back-to-back, just like when filming "Infernal Affairs", and finished filming them together.
Then he waited for the release of the film, during which he could also plan the filming of the "Harry Potter" series.
The investment in the third part of "The Matrix", Jiang Xia is initially set at 800 million, if it is not enough, it has to be added.
The contract has also been signed with the main actors, and filming will start in November, and in the middle, Jiang Xia can have a few months of rest.
