508 Big Productions and Small Productions

"Actually, I had to work harder back then than you do now. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Liu Anran looked at the expressions of the three of them, shook his head and said with a smile.

"You still have experience in filming TV series, when I came to Hollywood, let alone filming TV series, I didn't even have much experience in taking pictures."

"People often say that my 'Ghost Shadow' has rough graphics and weak plots, and I have never denied it. Because everyone was right, it was only a little bit of luck that I was able to succeed. ”

"My luck comes from the people who worked on Ghost Record, and from Edward, the president of our company now. In fact, the script of that film is just a concept, and all the lines are improvised on the spot. ”

"That's why I've always put a lot of emphasis on nurturing new people, some of whom are just missing an opportunity. If you shoot this film well, I can invest in all the films in the future. ”

"Anyway, I'm also a businessman, and businessmen have to think about making money. I invest, you have results, I can make money, this is a very good way to cooperate. ”

He is not nonsense, even if it is not this "living treasure trio", if it is someone else's script and takes it, he can try to shoot it.

Not all films are the kind of small investment that has super high returns, and companies can't focus all their eyes on big productions. That is too risky, a film with an investment of more than 100 million, if the box office is really bad, the impact on the company is also great.

These small-cost movies are different, they have a small investment, and even if they lose all of them, they can't lose a few dollars. As long as the box office results are about the same, and the DVD side sells more, the number of such films increases, and the overall investment cost is not only smaller than a blockbuster, but the income can be comparable to that of a blockbuster.

In the past, I always wanted to take the high-quality route, which can certainly improve the company's image and improve the company's reputation, but the effect on profitability will be worse.

Otherwise, why are those big film companies often involved in the field of small-budget production, and there are many films that are not very high-grossing every year. They are not stupid, of course they can predict approximate box office revenues, and they do this to find a supplement to the company's revenue.

It was not right to focus only on Hollywood in the past, and we should also look at the rest of the West. Britain will be the next place to occupy.

And there is some good news in the UK now, their tax reduction policy on the film industry has been opened, and it is also a very good choice to intervene in advance at this time.

Edgar: They won't think about the little calculations that Liu Anran is making in their hearts, what they know is that the film they are going to shoot has cleared the last obstacle.

Instead of going to the hotel outside to celebrate, I chose to go to the canteen of Dream Media. Although it is said that the master chef in the canteen does not have the craftsmanship of a Michelin-starred restaurant, these people are also hired by Liu Anran with a high salary, just to serve the filming crew.

Some indoor scenes can be built in the studio upstairs, and Dream Media has a TV drama business, so the utilization rate of such scenes will be very high in the future. When I'm shooting here, sometimes I work late. If you can enjoy a delicious late-night snack at the end of work, it is a very pleasant thing for everyone.

Although the office building of Dream Media is not as large as MGM, it is not small compared to other film companies, and it is also a multi-functional office building.

This is mainly because when this building was built, Liu Anran was still a little local tyrant, and at that time, he didn't expect to be able to really buy MGM.

After leaving Edgar and the three of them to Danny and Wen Ziren, Liu Anran ran to MGM again, and he had to talk to Edward about the idea of entering England today.

"Don't stabilize the existing industry and then expand?" After listening to Liu Anran's thoughts, Edward asked.

"Now this is just a preliminary idea of mine, and it has not yet reached the stage of concrete implementation, what do you think?" Liu Anran shook his head and asked.

"I think it can work. The UK also has a high box office every year, but if we want to invest in the UK, we need to build a new team. Edward thought about it for a moment and said.

"The UK is different from China, and our development in China has a unique advantage because of your relationship. But in the UK, we don't have any foundation. Now the only connection is that he invested in "28 Days of Shock" there, and this film has its own production company. ”

Hollywood movies have had a powerful impact not only on the film industry in Asian countries, but also in European countries. The UK is not doing so well in terms of the film industry right now, although it is said that there are some good films released occasionally, but in terms of box office statistics throughout the year, the front pile is more occupied by Hollywood films.

Dream Media is poor and white over there, with no foundation, and it is very difficult.

"Haha, that's what you need to think about. But let's not be in a hurry, let's save MGM first. You can worry more about it here, and when the time comes, we can officially enter the UK. Liu Anran said with a smile.

The company's territory will eventually expand, but it is still a little less in control of the overall situation, and it is far from being as smooth as Edward. This is also a development plan for the company in the future, so he has an idea in his heart, and he will naturally do well in the future.

A good CEO is really important for a business. Now neither he nor Liu Yi has reached such a height as Edward. These experiences are not something you can have directly when you come back from rebirth, and Edward has been in Hollywood for so long, and he is not just playing boring.

"Is there a chance that the films we will release this year will be able to get more Oscar nominations next year?" Edward asked with a smile.

"You ask me, I ask who goes. It seems that we will have to do some marketing next year, otherwise it will be difficult for the early release of the film to win the favor of the judges. Liu Anran shrugged his shoulders and said.

Although he knows some future development trajectories, the current Hollywood has been messed up by itself, and who knows if those films will be nominated as scheduled. Sometimes you can act as a prophetic emperor, and sometimes you have to keep your mouth shut.
