Chapter 100: A Shooting Mode That Combines Fiction and Reality

"On July 17, "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" was officially launched, and it won the first place in Douban's annual most anticipated TV series list!"

"The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" with thousands of readers officially started filming, with international director Director Zhang personally in charge, Tang Nian starring, Tencent Pictures' all-star lineup joining, and thousands of extras in Hengdu Film and Television City collectively participating in the ......"

"It is understood that the investment of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" is as high as 300 million, and there is no cap, and it will be transferred to major cities across the country for filming, and it is expected that the series will exceed 100, and the pre-production cycle will be as long as five months......"

"The start of filming of the TV series "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" has driven the hot sales of the original novel, and the author has won the title of the first writer on the bestseller list of all genres!"

""The Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation", the most powerful fantasy immortal cultivation TV series in China in the past five years!"

"The Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation will lead you into a bizarre world of cultivation!"

“……”

"Bang!"

The whistling porcelain teacups easily smashed the LED screen LCD TV hanging on the wall to pieces, and the strange and unpleasant smell of burning wires lingered on the circuit sparks, and the broadcast of entertainment news finally came to an abrupt end. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the room with a solemn atmosphere, the atmosphere is even more depressing.

"Wang Shan, read it to me, the loss of film investment in May and June!"

"This ......"

"Read!"

Wang Changtian's last word was almost shouted out, and the hideousness was magnified on his face, which made Wang Shan's heart sink in his eyes.

"In May, "August Like Water", which was exclusively invested by Guangguang Media, was released, with an investment of 100 million, and the box office was divided into 100 million, with a loss of ...... Loss of 60 million! ”

"At the end of May, "Joy Falls from the Sky" jointly invested by Guangguang Media was released, with an investment of 1.5 billion, a box office of 300 million, a box office of 80 million, and a loss of 70 million!"

In mid-June, "Passing by Your Whole Body", which was exclusively invested by Guangguang Media, was released, with an investment of 90 million and a box office ...... The box office is 20 million, divided into 10 million, and the loss is 80 million! ”

"At the beginning of July, "Daughter Country", jointly invested by Guangguang Media, was released, with an investment of 100 million, a box office of 100 million, and a box office share of ...... Mr. Wang......"

Reading and reading, Wang Shan couldn't read anymore, he gritted his teeth and stopped.

"The box office is divided into eight million, and the loss is ninety million!"

"Hahaha...... Very good, it's only been three months, and Guangguang Media has lost 300 million in one go, well done! ”

Wang Changtian finished what Wang Shan didn't finish, and took a deep breath, but the anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed, and he wanted to smash the smashed wall TV again, only in this way would the anger in his heart not swallow his reason.

"A "Civil War" actually swept the Chinese film box office market in May, June, July and three months, and how many film companies are pointing to these three months to make some money......"

"It's okay now, Director Zhang is so powerful, he has overturned more than eighty percent of small film production companies by himself, and no less than ten have gone bankrupt...... You're so powerful, why don't you go to North American Hollywood, what's the point of just being in the nest? ”

"Four billion at the box office! Tsk......"

"Director Zhang, do you know you're afraid? There are many people in the film industry who can't wait to eat you alive! Do you think you can jump out and shoot a TV series and hide for a few months? It's not that easy! Offended so many capital ......"

"Wang Shan, where is the production progress of "The Emperor of the Immortal Kingdom"?"

Hammering it heavily on the table, suppressing the anger in his heart with pain, Wang Changtian turned around and looked at Wang Shan, his eyes were red.

"Mr. Wang, "The Emperor of the Immortal Kingdom" and "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" have some similarities, and we can be regarded as ahead of Tencent Pictures......"

Seeing that his boss was still expressionless, Wang Shan's heart was agitated, and he didn't dare to go around in circles anymore, so he said directly: "The filming of "The Emperor of the Immortal Kingdom" has entered the late stage, and it will be completed in one month at the earliest, and after two months of post-production, it will be able to be taken out!" ”

"No! It's been too long, I don't have that patience! ”

"I started filming in February, and now it's July, and giving them five months is already my bottom line, really when my 300 million is blown by a strong wind?"

"Tell them that it must be completed at the end of this month, and I want to see the finished film in early August and broadcast it on satellite TV in mid-August, this is an ultimatum!"

Wang Changtian slapped the table, stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "I want to release "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" before it, and at any cost will be rotated by David TV, so that "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" will be smashed in the hands of Director Zhang, and Tencent Pictures' investment of 300 million yuan will be wasted!" ”

"Yes!"

Wang Shan's heart shook again, and after answering, he saw that his boss did not give more instructions, so he fled here with small steps.

Wang Changtian's gaze slowly moved to the white display board on the wall, and the three arrows that had faded most of the color still pointed to a penguin icon, which was particularly ironic at this moment.

It's just that he became an accomplice, and Tencent Pictures actually made 200 million behind "Civil War" with an investment of 5 million US dollars!

"Bang!"

A fist slammed into the white display board, showing how angry the owner of the hand was.

But when the fist leaves the white board, the penguin icon is still smiling, as if maliciously mocking the fist's owner.

"During the Huaxia Film Protection Month, the three films invested by Huayi Film failed one after another, with losses of up to 200 million, you told me that this is not a joke?"

turned around, and it was the angry face of Wang Zhonglei, the boss of Chinese films.

"Mr. Wang, the Hollywood blockbuster "Civil War" almost wiped out the box office of the Chinese Film Protection Month, that is, the summer file, and did not leave ......a soup for the Huaxia Film Company at all."

"With a box office of four billion, there is no time for two or three years, and the so-called Chinese Film Protection Month will not recover!"

"The three-month box office market was originally intended to give Huaxia film production companies, especially small film companies, a space for growth, but now they are tossed by "Civil War", and I don't know how many small film companies have completely bankrupted......

In the face of the president's anger, An Yuan had to explain from multiple angles, and even used some news of the bankruptcy of the film company to alleviate the anger in the boss's heart.

To be honest, the development of Huayi Films in the past two years has been very good, even if it loses, it can protect its capital, and some small-budget movies that were not optimistic about it are very unexpectedly made Huayi Films make a lot of money.

This year's situation of losing money for three consecutive months and accumulating losses of more than 200 million is the first time in the history of Huayi Film Company, and it is no wonder that Wang Zhonglei is so angry.

"Huaxia Film Protection Month? Hehe...... I'm afraid there will never be one again! ”

"Director Zhang, Director Zhang, you used a Hollywood blockbuster "Civil War" to sweep away ninety percent of the summer box office, I'm afraid you will never be able to attract investment from China in the past two years......"

"Since you don't want to go overseas, stubbornly stay in China, and try to make the transition by directing "The Legend of Mortal Immortals", how can you apologize if you slap someone in the face and stop?"

"Lao An, how is the progress of the "Smoke and Clouds of the Tang Dynasty" that we have invested?"

As a bigwig in the circle, Wang Zhonglei naturally has an attitude of watching the drama from beginning to end, and sees the turmoil in the film industry during the release of "Civil War" very clearly.

No matter what Director Zhang thinks in his heart, and no matter how indignant Director Zhang is at the three-month film protection period in Huaxia, Director Zhang introduced "Civil War" without saying a word, and it was during the Huaxia Film Protection Month, which is a public outrage.

If you're disgusted by Movie Protection Month, you can say nowhere to it publicly.

As long as you speak in advance, let everyone have a preparation in their hearts, or a transition time, everyone will hinder your authority and status, and it will be okay to suffer a dumb loss.

You can't get used to this kind of scene, but you don't say it, when everyone is defenseless, pull out the mace, smash the stall that everyone has worked so hard to run, and completely cut off everyone's livelihood, this is the big enemy!

Whoever you are, it is impossible to dispel this hatred so easily.

""Smoke and Clouds of the Tang Dynasty" is a historical and legendary drama, not very easy to shoot, at this stage the filming has just been completed, and it is being transferred to post-production, and it is expected to be released in September......"

"September? The film must be released at the end of this month, and it will be broadcast on the stars in early August! ”

Wang Zhonglei waved his hand to interrupt An Yuan's words and said undoubtedly.

"Yes!"

An Yuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still didn't fight for it, TV series are different from movies, it's not a big deal to make some shoddy ones, it's free anyway, and the ultimate goal is to praise newcomers.

"Lao An, does the company have any plans for the production of fantasy TV series recently?"

Wang Zhonglei's fingers tapped on the table, obviously thinking.

"Yes, I am preparing a fantasy TV series of "Dragon Blood God of War", but the investment is a bit much, 100 million, and the budget has not been ......"

"Say it to the budget Lao Zhang, just say what I mean, "Dragon Blood God of War" will be included in the priority sequence of TV series preparation, and it will be approved as soon as possible!"

"Understood!"

……

"Understood? What do you understand? ”

Han Sanping stared, interrupted the words of production director Yun Feng, and said coldly: "If we China Film didn't hold the privilege of introducing Hollywood blockbusters, how could we sit in the first place in the film industry?" ”

"Now the meaning of the above people is obvious, the high-level is already very dissatisfied with the slow development of the Chinese film industry, and believes that the protection month system of domestic films has not promoted the further prosperity of the Chinese film market, but has made the Chinese film industry lose its enterprising spirit in the face of the crisis, which makes "Civil War" completely bigger, otherwise there is not even a blockbuster movie in the five, six, seven and three months when Chinese films are released, which is a great irony......"

After a series of ridicules from Han Sanping, his face softened, and he said, "Did Director Zhang agree to our solicitation?" offended the entire film industry, only China Film can shelter him......"

"Nope!"

Production director Yun Feng shook his head and said: "Director Zhang took over the "Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation" invested by Tencent Pictures, which is a fantasy TV series with an investment of up to 300 million! ”

"Huh...... It is a great irony that the internationally renowned director Zhang Da is committed to filming a TV series! ”

Hearing this, the coldness on Han Sanping's face subsided, as a person in the system, he was particularly sensitive to the Hollywood blockbuster "Civil War" during the domestic film protection month, bypassing the China Film Group and successfully introducing it in the name of co-production.

Later, China Film Group, under the command of Han Sanping, gave up the plan to release two small-scale films during the domestic film protection month.

Sure enough, "Civil War" raged for a whole month, and its ferocious box office momentum spanned May, June, and July.

Other film production companies in the industry have been blinded by money, and the films released have failed miserably, resulting in heavy losses, and more than 20% of film production companies have been wiped out overnight......

But his own production director laughed like a fool, thinking that China Film Group had made money, and he didn't understand the amazing signal revealed in it.

However, after Han Sanping said this, cold sweat broke out on Yun Feng's forehead, and he finally understood what he was wrong.

The Hollywood blockbuster "Civil War" was released during the domestic film protection month, which is definitely not good news for China Film Group.

In the long run, Hollywood blockbusters will completely break the shackles of 'introduction quotas', and every time they are released in China, they will set off a bloody storm and completely defeat domestic film companies, the first of which is China Film Group.

"Aren't we cooperating with the iron-blooded reading website, hurry up and pick out a few good war-themed novels, whether it's a movie or a TV series, and determine the exclusive status of a certain type of film of China Film Group as soon as possible, which is the last word!"

"Understood!"

In the face of Han Sanping's earnest advice, Yun Feng understood.

Only by taking advantage of the fact that everyone has not yet reacted, can China Film Group launch the golden sign in a certain type of film and television field, in order to have a place in the great changes in the Chinese film industry in the near future.

……

Just when the filming of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" was stirring up the Chinese entertainment market, Director Zhang and others, who were discussed, took the crew of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" to a small mountain village near Hengdu Film and Television City.

The first scene of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" is about to start filming here.

With Director Zhang's team joining, the efficiency of the entire crew has been greatly improved, and at nine o'clock in the morning of the same day, the scene has been all set.

Ordinary small mountain villages, basically 90% of them are wooden houses with earthen walls, which is very consistent with the small mountain village where Han Li was a child.

The physical special effects team that followed up at the same time, when the scene was built, had already entered the 3D three-dimensional model of the small mountain village into the computer, and after several adjustments, it became exactly the same as the small mountain village that appeared in the Tang Dynasty's 'Huangliang A Dream'.

Of course, if it weren't for the storyboard created according to Tang Nian's guidance, the physical special effects team would not have been able to complete such realistic special effects.

"I've always felt that computer CG special effects will one day be replaced by physical special effects!"

"Capture the scene materials in real-time shooting, it will be more textured and realistic!"

"Man's imagination is never as thrilling as the magic of nature......"

After ten months of "Civil War" creation, Director Zhang has a more unique understanding of special effects, sitting in front of the monitor like a big child, dancing and saying.

"Live shooting and on-site physical special effects follow-up, this combination of virtual and real shooting mode can really shoot "The Legend of Mortal Immortals"!"

Tang Nian nodded, agreeing with Director Zhang's point of view.

Seeing that the "Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivators" in his mind was about to reveal his true body bit by bit, excitement and excitement alternated repeatedly in his heart......
