Chapter 373 A literary film that costs 200 million

In fact, no matter how strong a woman is on the outside, from the bottom of her heart, she is actually eager to be conquered by the opposite sex, and even in a sense, once such a "stone girl" is tempted, even the stone can melt!

I don't remember where I saw this sentence, but now, Ye Lin really feels this way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although there are occasional disputes in the villa, they are only bickering at most, and the tense atmosphere as before has all disappeared without a trace.

After stabilizing the rear, Ye Lin's attention had already shifted to work.

Color. "The Ring" has now entered the post-production situation, although in this movie, the use of special effects is very little, but it does not mean that there are no special effects at all.

For example, although the houses and decorations in the close-up view are basically restored one-to-one with real materials, in the processing of the vista, they can only rely on special effects.

But fortunately, there are not many places where they are needed.

Some people may wonder.

What is one-to-one reduction?

In other words, from houses and buildings to small stitches and threads, flowers and grasses, all the scenes in the whole movie are real!

What does that mean?

It means that if it weren't for the cameras around you, it would be easy for people to feel out of space!

So much so that at the end of the shooting, Yao Chen said with a smile: "I thought I had crossed over." ”

Just setting up such a scene cost Ye Lin a full 100 million dollars!

Before and after, there are all kinds of things, plus the investment that Ang Lee himself has pulled, the production budget of the whole movie has exceeded 200 million!

If this is a commercial film, then although the cost of 200 million is high, it is not shocking in today's mainland, after all, not to mention the recent movies, let's just say that "Hero", which opened the era of domestic blockbusters, has a total investment cost of more than 200 million!

But......

Color. The film "Ring", no matter what, cannot be compared with a purely commercial film!

In other words, this is at most a literary film with a commercial atmosphere!

What does that mean?

That means that Ang Lee spent 200 million to make a literary film!

Even Lao Mouzi, Chen Kaige and others, who can be called the "godfather of literary films" in China, do not have the courage to shoot a literary film with 200 million!

Because this is not only a demanding requirement for directors and screenwriters, but also to find a wronged person who is willing to spend this money!

After all......

Generally speaking, literary films can only win awards, but in terms of box office, it is difficult to make achievements.

And the investment cost of 200 million means that the box office of at least 400 million or more can be profitable!

And because of some of the shots, this film cannot be released in the mainland!

In other words, in addition to deducting such a huge market as the mainland, it will make a profit of 400 million yuan......

This is an impossible task for any Chinese-language film!

Even Ang Lee himself became very serious when editing.

He even called Ye Lin many times to inquire.

There's no way not to worry!

This is a literary film with an investment of 200 million!

And it is also doomed to lose the mainland market!

If you want to reach a box office income of 400 million, it's ......

No, if it is issued overseas, it will have to pay a lot of taxes, that is, it will make a profit of at least 500 million!

A literary film with a box office of 500 million?

Is it possible?

yes, is it possible?

Ye Lin once asked himself more than once, can he really become one of the creators of the 500 million literary films?

The final answer is......

I don't know.

Yes, Ye Lin never thinks about what hasn't happened!

And......

Maybe just in the name of "Color. Ring", with Ang Lee, may not really be able to do it, but ......

What if you add him?

What advantage does he have to make a literary film reach a profit of more than 500 million?

Because of the surprise of Eastern and Western cultures, Ye Lin put "Color. The North American box office of "Ring" was handed over to Ang Lee to plan, not to mention, Ang Lee really deserves to be a Chinese director who has just won the international Best Director Award, for his first film after winning the award, the North American side is very cooperative, and after the final negotiation, for such a literary film, 30 screens were taken.

This is actually quite a lot, because this is a literary film, and it is also an oriental literary film without any Western elements in the whole film, not to mention being able to understand it, even if you want to understand the cultural differences, it is already a difficult thing in itself.

So thirty screens, it's really a lot.

In this regard, Ye Lin's attitude is to talk about nothing.

Anyway, his goal is not set in the West, there are as many screens as there are screens.

Ye Lin's first goal was to aim at Xiangjiang.

Needless to say, thanks to the fact that the actor Liang Chaowei is an actor in Xiangjiang, the total number of screens of this movie in Xiangjiang, although it is only a literary film, has won 20 yuan!

Don't think it's less, Xiangjiang has less than 150 screens in total!

Winning one-seventh at once is really not a small number!

Needless to say, thanks to Ang Lee's status as an international director, he has won 70 yuan!

That's one hundred and two.

As for the rest of the Koreans, because of its relatively closed market and the impact of several big-budget foreign movies during the same period, they only won 30 yuan in the end, which once made Ye Lin feel sorry, if it wasn't for the short schedule, I'm afraid he could win at least 50 yuan!

That's one hundred and fifty dollars.

Japan, because Japan has always been a country deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and Ang Lee himself is an international director, although it is not his own country, which makes Japan generally unhappy, but this is also the first time that an Oriental has won an international award, so Japan is very powerful this time, and it has contributed 50 yuan.

Added up, it has reached two hundred.

Two hundred screens, at first glance, it sounds like a lot, but ......

If you really know about the cinema chain in the mainland market, you will know that 200 yuan of cinema chain is really nothing.

Thanks to the explosive population base and the far broader land than in the previous life, a single cinema chain in Huaxia, although it only has more than 150 screens, is ......

There are eight cinemas in China!

That's 1,200 screens!

However, for some reason, although there are so many screens, there are really few films that can be released every year.

Even "Hero", which pioneered the era of domestic blockbusters, was released in two theaters at most, that is, 300 screens.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.
