Chapter 725: Bombshell

The entire press conference scene exploded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Everyone was shocked by the figure of $300 million, and some reporters from foreign media were also shocked at the moment.

In the past, Huaguo's so-called big productions, in their eyes, were just for their own amusement, and the top of China's domestic movies was only tens of millions of US dollars, at most about 100 million US dollars, and the production cost of 300 million US dollars, not to mention Huaguo, looking at the world, it was definitely a big production.

But isn't this a smoke bomb? Really 300 million dollars?

This is doubted by almost all the media, after all, this is not an abnormal thing in the film and television industry, the so-called big productions of most film and television companies can often be praised as 100 million in tens of millions, and 100 million can be said to be 200 million, anyway, it is just a gimmick.

However, even if it is empty, there is no 300 million, and there will always be 200 million, right?

Even if it's $200 million, it's definitely a big production.

On the one hand, the Chinese media has a hint of pride, and on the other hand, they are excited and worried.

I am proud that this time is a real big production, and it is definitely led by Huaguo Film and Television Company, and I am excited that Ye Qiu finally shot again after the domestic blockbuster "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon", and as soon as he made it, it was an earth-shattering production, an absolute big production of 300 million US dollars, which is definitely a very exciting news.

The concern is, will the $300 million blockbuster production be able to recover its costs? Or will the myth of the undefeated hand of the gold sage finally be broken?

A big production of 300 million US dollars, not to mention a Chinese film and television company, even if it is a film and television company looking at the world, it is definitely an extremely large investment, not to mention China, let's talk about Hollywood, the example of a movie with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars is not one or two, and the film itself is a very risky industry.

The bigger the investment, the higher the risk, what made Ye Qiu have so much confidence? That's 300 million US dollars, which is equivalent to nearly 2 billion Chinese dollars.

2 billion Chinese dollars, even more than the total investment of most domestic film and television giants in a whole year.

What is the concept of 2 billion Chinese dollars? It is possible to make 20 domestic blockbusters with a cost of more than 100 million yuan, and it can make 200 films with small and medium-cost costs.

What is 2 billion not good, invest in making a movie? It's too big, right?

However, no matter what, for the media, today's trip is definitely worth it, Ye Qiu is Ye Qiu, as long as he makes a move, he will be the main of the front page.

One reporter after another couldn't wait to stuff the microphone into Fang Yibai's mouth.

"I know you all have a lot of questions to ask, so I won't say any more, and then it's question time. Raise your hand and ask. Fang Yibai was very satisfied with the reaction of the media reporters at the scene.

In fact, Fang Yibai knew about "Transformers" from the beginning, but when he heard Ye Qiu make such a big move, he was also shocked.

300 million US dollars, and the key is that for "Transformers" Ye Qiu also spent a huge amount of money to acquire the cold stone special effects, and also injected a large amount of money to expand the cold stone, just so that the cold stone special effects can have the strength to complete the special effects of "Transformers".

"The CCTV reporter. Fang Yibai first named the CCTV reporter, which can be regarded as giving CCTV a face.

"May I ask Mr. Fang, you said earlier that "Transformers" is jointly invested by a number of companies, so can you tell me which companies are there, and which company is "Transformers" led by?"

It seems that this question is a bit redundant, but in fact it is not the case, because there have been films led by Hollywood companies before, but when they are put in Huaguo, they also hand over the press conference to Huaguo's film and television companies to hold them.

And this time it is a $300 million investment, and there is also the participation of Hasbro Pictures, a subsidiary of the North American toy giant Hasbro, so it is difficult not to wonder if this time it is led by Hasbro.

"There are 5 investors in "Transformers", we are Dianjin Film and Television, Star Animation, Hasbro Pictures, United Pictures, and Wanxing Pictures, of which Star Animation is a shareholder of the copyright of "Transformers", Dianjin Film and Television invested 200 million US dollars, and United Pictures Wanxing Pictures jointly invested 50 million US dollars, and will be responsible for the domestic film distribution in China, and Hasbro Pictures will invest 50 million US dollars, and will be responsible for the publicity and distribution of the North American market. ”

Fang Yibai directly gave out the proportion of capital contribution, that is to say, 300 million US dollars is real.

As for who is in charge, do you need to say more? Wanxing Pictures and United Pictures are both Huaguo's cinema groups, and they invested in and won the distribution of Huaguo's "Transformers", which can be regarded as complementing each other, and Hasboy Pictures' channels in North America are also lacking in Dianjin Film and Television, so the introduction of Hasbro's capital is also to make the distribution of "Transformers" in North America smoother.

With such a large investment in "Transformers", it is naturally impossible to just look at the domestic market, and North America is still the world's No. 1 movie box office.

"That friend of the Los Angeles Times. ”

"Hello, Mr. Fang, as far as I know, a large number of special effects will be used in the live-action movie of "Transformers", and the investment of 300 million US dollars will be used, I don't know how much will be used in special effects?

In fact, this question, many people want to ask, fools can see it, Ye Qiu acquired Hanshi Special Effects, and spent a lot of money to let Hanshi Special Effects acquire other special effects companies, and now he has made a big production of "Transformers", which will definitely be handed over to Hanshi Special Effects to produce.

It's just a cold stone special effect, and its own strength is still a little lacking, especially compared to the top international special effects companies such as the magic tower, it is obvious that the cold stone special effects are still a little lacking.

"This media friend, you are very cunning, you actually asked so many questions at once, but, that's it, I'll answer them one by one. Fang Yibai said with a smile.

"First of all, "Transformers" will be a movie that is good at special effects, there is no doubt about this, I believe that people who know "Transformers" will not doubt this, as for how much will be used in special effects, in fact, there is nothing to hide, it is expected that among the 300 million US dollars, at least more than 150 million funds will be used to produce special effects, as for whether Hanshi has the strength to complete the special effects of "Transformers"? I think professional questions should be answered by professionals, and Mr. Chen Guang of Hanshi Special Effects is also present today, so let Mr. Chen answer this question for you. ”

Fang Yibai said and turned the conversation to Chen Guang.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Guang, the technical director of Hanshi Special Effects, and I will answer the question of whether Hanshi Special Effects has the strength to complete the special effects of "Transformers". Chen Guang stood up with a smile and said.
