Chapter 724: $300 million
Maybe Dongying Group does have a dirty relationship with Ye Qiu, which everyone knows, so the choice of Dongying Group may not explain anything, but in fact, the choice of Dongying Group can be regarded as a microcosm of the Chinese film and television industry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Even if Hanshi is acquired by Ye Qiu, even if he has made a lot of money, even if Hanshi returns to the throne of No. 1 in Asia, it is difficult to make these film companies trust again.
Because there is a very interesting status quo in Huaguo nowadays, that is, TV dramas are gradually biased towards winning by appearance, while movie productions are gradually biased towards special effects.
It is often produced by the special effects team of an award-winning film work of the "Oscar", which can bring great benefits to the promotion of the film, of course, there is another point, although Hollywood's special effects companies charge high, but the strength is indeed strong enough.
If you choose a domestic special effects company to do it, then it may not have been released yet, and the finished product has not been seen, it will be considered by the audience to be a five-cent special effect, and the domestic special effects company cannot make good special effects, which seems to have become a recognized fact of the Chinese people, which is why most film companies would rather go up and be slaughtered by a Hollywood special effects company than choose a domestic special effects company.
Chen Guang was still appointed as the executive president of Hanshi, but when Chen Guang wanted to make a big move, he was embarrassed to find that not to mention foreign films, even those domestic film and television companies, even Xuanhuang and Zhongyi, who had talked to Ye Qiu before, did not intend to hand over the real big production to Hanshi.
As a result, Hanshi Special Effects has made a lot of noise during this time, and it has not received a decent order, only the two shareholder companies Wanxing Pictures and United Pictures symbolically took out two movies and handed them over to Hanshi to make special effects, but they are only the simplest special effects.
Chen Guang is also anxious, but it's useless to be anxious, this is already the norm, and it is not so easy to change, especially although Hanshi has acquired a number of special effects companies, but Hanshi itself has special effects, and there is nothing that can be done.
Naturally, it's hard to believe that Hanshi really has that strength.
There are even people who take "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" to talk about it, you Ye Qiu's own movies don't look for special effects to do with cold stones, how can you convince others to believe in the strength of cold stones?
It has been more than a month since the completion of the acquisition of Hanshi Special Effects, but the business of Cold Stone Special Effects has not improved at all, and of course, it cannot be said that there has been no improvement.
There are a lot of orders, some of which are sponsored by friendship, and there are also some small domestic film and television companies that have taken a fancy to the preferential prices of cold stone special effects, but there are no large orders.
Ye Qiu, the golden holy hand, seems to have suffered a blow this time, and the cold stone special effect does not seem to be able to create a miracle for Ye Qiu.
It's still tepid, but you must know that the cold stone special effect can be said to be Ye Qiu's biggest investment at present, and the result is just like this, which really can't help but make people doubt that this time Ye Qiu's vision is gone.
Some people have even begun to sing about Ye Qiu's investment.
However, at this time, Dianjin Film and Television, Hasbro Pictures, a subsidiary of Childboy Toys in North America, United Pictures, Wanxing Pictures, and Hanshi Film Special Effects Company, jointly held a press conference, saying that there was major news to announce.
Especially when it comes to Baby Toys, many people have guessed the content of this press conference, Baby Pictures is not very famous, but Baby Toys is famous, and everyone knows that Ye Qiu's Star Toys and Star Animation's "Transformers" series of toys are in cooperation with Baby Toys.
The "Transformers" series of toys are selling well all over the world, especially in China and North America.
So there is Hasboy Pictures among the companies in this press conference, and it is not difficult to imagine that this press conference should be related to "Transformers".
"Transformers" has been popular for a while, and it was rumored that Ye Qiu intended to take out the live-action version of "Transformers".
It seems that rumors are more than just rumors.
It's just that people are curious about how much budget Ye Qiu prepared this time for a movie like "Transformers", which is obviously based on special effects?
Thinking of Ye Qiu's recent acquisition of cold stone special effects, it is not difficult to imagine that the special effects of the live-action movie of "Transformers" are about to fall short of cold stones.
The scene of the press conference.
Countless media reporters were waiting here early in the morning, and many TV stations directly sent live broadcast vehicles over, which is enough to see the great influence of this press conference.
The person in charge of the press conference is Fang Yibai, the executive president of Dianjin Film and Television.
"Welcome to all media friends, today's press conference, only one thing was announced, I believe many people have already guessed the content of this press conference. ”
"Then I won't go into too much detail, just announce it. ”
"The live-action version of "Transformers" officially announced the establishment of the project, and Dianjin Film and Television joined hands with the first toy company in North America, Baby Pictures, and the first toy company in North America, Baby Pictures, and United Pictures to jointly invest in ......" Speaking of this, Fang Yibai glanced at the media reporters at the scene, and then said loudly: "300 million US dollars, to create an unprecedented real big production in China." ”
When Fang Yibai's words of 300 million US dollars fell, the scene exploded with a "boom", and countless media reporters were stunned by this number.
Huaguo's current largest film, with a total investment of more than 100 million US dollars, is also a co-production with foreign investment, and this time, although "Transformers" has also introduced the investment of Hasboy Pictures, but it is conceivable that this time "Transformers" itself is from Huaguo, and Dianjin Film and Television must occupy the majority, plus United Pictures and Wanxing Pictures, it can be said that this film should be regarded as a real big production in Huaguo.
It's just that the figure of $300 million still staggers countless people, you know, even in Hollywood, there are only a handful of production budgets of more than $300 million at the moment.
It's not that Huaguo's film investors have no money and can't afford to invest, but because although Huaguo's film market has developed vigorously in recent years, the highest box office of a single film has soared from 100 million 200 million to nearly 1 billion.
However, there is a very embarrassing situation for China's domestic films, that is, they can show off their power at home, and they are often unaccustomed to foreign countries.
won hundreds of millions of box office in China, but in foreign countries, such as North America, there are only a few million left at the box office.
So the investment of 300 million US dollars stunned countless people at once.
With such a high investment, how can the cost be recovered?
The point is that they are incomprehensible that there are still people willing to invest.
Don't they know that if "Transformers" can't have a stunning performance at the overseas box office, then the loss is certain.
And this is 300 million US dollars, even if the US dollar depreciates again, it will be as high as nearly 2 billion Chinese dollars.
How much box office does it take to pay for itself?
