The white horse passed by, and the busy time always passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of November of 13.

For more than a year, Li Mu also completed all the post-production of "Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation" after the National Day.

In the past five months of filming, Li Mu and the crew have traveled almost everywhere in the world in the past six months.

Olympic National Park in Washington, the capital of the United States, is the world's largest temperate rainforest, with an altitude of up to 2,500 meters, some of the world's largest conifer trees, up to 70 meters high, and maple trees spanning up to 12 meters.

New Zealand's Waibowa Forest, home to a kauri, known as the king of the forest, is the largest kauri in New Zealand, about 1,200 years old, and still vibrant. The first branch of the tree is 18 meters long and can reach 4.4 meters in diameter. Another famous tree here is called Dematolnaheri – the "Father of the Forest", estimated to be 2,000 years old.

Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada, Dantley National Park in Australia, Atlantic Forest in the upper reaches of the Paraná River across Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil, Black Forest in Germany......

Most of the world's famous forests and plum trees have almost run all over, and I have seen many ordinary people who may not be able to see the wonders and strange scenes in their lifetime.

The Great Blue Hole, the world's largest underwater cave, is about 1,000 feet (304 meters) in diameter and 400 feet (122 meters) deep.

It's like being in the Oryx Canyon in an abstract painting.

In the Gulf of Carpentaria in northern Australia, clouds sometimes float in the air very close to the surface, but they quickly dissipate.

Neon Tochigi Prefecture Ashikaga Park ancient wisteria trees, branches spread out to cover 1,990 square meters, flowers like a waterfall rain pouring down.

The highest waterfall in the world, Venezuela's Angel Falls. The waterfall is divided into two stages, first falling 807 meters onto a ledge, then 172 meters down to a large pool at the foot of the mountain that is 152 meters wide, with a total drop of 979 meters.

The world's largest hundred-horse chestnut tree has a diameter of 18 meters and a circumference of more than 55 meters.

The tallest tree in the world, a ginkgo biloba eucalyptus tree in Australia, is 156 meters tall and has a trunk that juts into the sky and is as tall as a 50-story building.

......

From home to abroad, from Shennongjia in northern Hubei to Australia, rice, Europe, Africa, through dozens of countries.

After half a year of filming, the crew returned to the capital and started filming at the Huairou Film and Television Base, and the materials that had been filmed were all taken to PO Chaoting for processing.

I went back to the capital for a little rest for two days, and then I threw myself into a new job, and all the filming was completed in front of the green screen, and the actors' roles were not much, and it was completed in less than a month.

After that, half a year was the final post-production, and all the materials and clips were just completed.

From preparation to filming, it took more than two years, which is also a relatively long time, except for the outlier of the king of sunglasses, it is estimated that few people will play like this.

Movies are also a kind of investment, and the best investment is, of course, a short cycle and high returns, there are too many variables in two years, and there is so much time for a house to be built.

In the end, Li Mu calculated the final production costs, including actors' salaries, crew salaries, special effects costs, food, accommodation, and travel expenses along the way, which was almost 1.1 billion.

Although it is a little higher than the expected billion, it is all within Li Mu's affordability, and he and Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, and Han Sanping all said that if the investment is not enough, everyone will make additional investments in proportion, and the final income will also be distributed in the original proportion.

No matter where or what industry it is, it is always the most troublesome thing when it comes to the distribution of interests, and the film industry is no exception.

The investment in film and television projects is different from the investment in other industries, and the investment and distribution of film and television projects have their own complex system.

The problem of money has always been a big problem, and the accounts are not understood, so if you want to make a profit, you basically don't think about it.

Under normal circumstances, the simplest investment allocation model is, of course, that the proportion of capital contribution distribution is completely equal, and such an account is also the best calculation.

The complex model has more funding and less allocation. If the investment ratio, copyright ratio and distribution ratio are not completely consistent, generally the resources of each investor are different, the time of entering the project is different, and the influence and status of the project are different.

For example, the project sponsor and the main control of the project, sometimes 50% of the investment can account for 70% or even more of the benefits, and the final copyright is not the business of other investors.

There is also a premium allocation for the same amount model, and the budget is not enough for half of the project, but at this time, the project has fully demonstrated the potential for profitability, and there will be investors who invest at a premium.

There are also copyrights, labor services, creations, and even resource discounts, which are not funded and distributed.

There are also fixed investments, regardless of profit or loss, they have to pay a negotiated share.

Guaranteed venture capital, which is generally the investor is relatively strong, earns more points, and loses the capital protection.

And a project like this one is much better, regardless of the premium or anything, and there are no other additional conditions, the same proportion of investment, the same proportion of sharing.

In fact, Li Mu still suffers a loss, he still has to produce scripts, people, and equipment, and the others only need to pay for it.

However, their publicity resources will also be tilted to this side, so there is nothing unfair about it.

And the promotion of the movie has already begun, from mid-October, when the popularity of the National Day file began to dissipate, several major companies began to work together to promote the movie, 500 million publicity expenses were smashed, and the offensive was all over the world!

This is a huge breakthrough for Li Mu, not only with an investment of up to 1.5 billion yuan and all-computer production, but more importantly, he has to rely on this film to explore the way.

Although the previous two films sold more than 800 million yuan at the box office worldwide, which was enough to rank in the top ten of the annual box office, most of the box office was contributed by the Asian market, and the combined European and American markets were only 200 million.

And Li Mu's goal this time is to attack these two regions, the two regions with the highest ticket sales.

Passive defense is far less effective than active attack, and Hollywood will definitely focus on Europe and the United States, after all, it is their home base, so that they have no time to take care of the mainland and Southeast Asian markets.

Chinese films can take advantage of the trend to incorporate Southeast Asia into their own territory, and there is actually no cultural difference between China and Southeast Asia, and when the time comes, the Chinese films that occupy the two major box offices in the mainland and Southeast Asia can really compete with Hollywood, and with the advancement of technology, the improvement of the system and the huge population advantage, it is not impossible to surpass Hollywood movies to become the mainstream of the global film market in the future, and deliver Chinese culture to the world!
