119 The Hunger Games 3
The staff recruited by Bai Feifei at the beginning were still capable, although they were full of confusion about Chen Xueqian's instructions, their work efficiency was not low. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the afternoon of the same day, the recruitment information of Chen Xueqian's studio was published on the Internet, and the print advertisement was also in place.
Chen Xueqian watched his subordinates busy in an orderly manner, and he also pondered some things.
There are many other things that need to be part of a film's success than just a story, and the most important of them is the camera equipment and cinematographer. Then there is music editing, and a good movie is inseparable from these two technologies.
At present, Chen Xueqian does not even have a talent in this area. Although he has a reserve of talents in his domestic studios, it is unrealistic to expect them to come in handy at this time.
As for looking for it locally in Hollywood, Chen Xueqian was very worried about whether the other party would cooperate with him when he came. After all, he is now being banned by the six major Hollywood film companies. If they could have bypassed them and gone it alone, there would never be only six major studios in Hollywood today.
Therefore, he did not plan to count on Hollywood, but set his sights on South Korea on the other side of the ocean!
In the past two years, South Korea has been the rise of the entertainment industry, Chen Xueqian can basically rest assured about South Korea's photography technology, and the most important point is that the film he wants to shoot this time is not a type that particularly requires photography skills. It just so happened that Chen Xueqian was going to make a movie in South Korea soon, and the relevant equipment and talents had a certain reserve, and it was just right to pull it over at this time.
As for the music, Chen Xueqian is ready to pull the team of the domestic studio over, he hums according to the soundtrack from the movie in his previous life, and is letting them arrange the music. In this way, the direction of the film is really in his control.
Chen Xueqian is generally satisfied with this situation, although he has no chance to steal from Hollywood directors, but at least he has gained the absolute initiative.
With his deployment, both the South Korean and Chinese companies are up and running at full capacity, and before that, Chen Xueqian still has a lot to do.
First of all, he had to set up a film company in the United States so that he could start the project.
Secondly, he will also consider the food, clothing, housing and transportation of this large number of people after they arrive. There was a whole bunch of things he had to keep busy.
During this time, the American studio suddenly became his logistics service company, contacting venues, setting up projects, and promoting films, and the employees who originally spent their days in the company leisurely all day were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.
When the time enters April 2003, Chen Xueqian will finally make many preparations for making a movie.
Looking at a temporary photography base, Chen Xueqian felt a little complicated in his heart.
Because the work efficiency during this period is very high, but the corresponding thing is that the money in Chen Xueqian's pocket is flowing out like flowing water.
Chen Xueqian made a simple calculation and found that he had spent nearly five million US dollars in the recent period.
And the movie hasn't even seen a shadow yet.
Seeing the rapid consumption of the money in his account, Chen Xueqian had to start thinking of ways to make money.
On the Japanese side, it is impossible for manga and novels to raise a large amount of money in a short period of time. As for the domestic ones, they are even rarer.
For this reason, Chen Xueqian could only hit the idea to the American market.
The first thing to do was to publish the last part of The Hunger Games.
For the last part of this book, book lovers in the United States and even around the world have been looking forward to it for a long time.
For this novel, which has built an incomparably new and magnificent utopian world, it has attracted countless loyal readers in just two years.
The official website established for him by Chen Xueqian's studio has many fan messages urging him almost every day.
Especially when they see that Chen Xueqian's other works are constantly serialized, but "The Hunger Games 3" has not moved, this feeling is even more difficult.
Even many American readers, in order to be able to pass the book famine and quench their thirst, seem to find "Attack on Titan", a comic with a very similar background to "The Hunger Games".
However, instead of being rescued, they soon found that they had fallen into Chen Xueqian's pit and became more and more difficult to extricate themselves.
"Chen Xueqian, the author, is really too talented! Other authors are afraid that one day they will run out of ideas, or fall into the abyss of running out of ideas. But unlike him, this genius writer seems to have an inexhaustible imagination, and he is constantly opening new stories and venturing into new areas. He wrote one magnificent story after another.
When he first started writing "Attack on Titan", countless people lamented that he had exhausted his talents, and they all thought that Chen Xueqian needed to start frying cold rice. However, when we actually saw this masterpiece that has recently made a big splash in Japan, we realized that the two stories were not at all the same.
"The same utopian world, The Hunger Games tells us about a terrible world under post-war totalitarian rule. An awakening of the people to rise up and resist. "Attack on Titan" depicts an even more desperate story, filled with a lot of uncertainties, all kinds of clues hinting to the people that the cannibalistic giants are from humans. And for what? Chen Xueqian seems to have been hinting at something vaguely.
Looking at these two books, it is hard for you to imagine that Giant Chen Xueqian is only a teenager under the age of 16, and the thoughts expressed by this teenager in the book do not seem superficial at all. The most commendable thing is that he writes without being obscure. Now the last installment of this teenager's legendary series "The Hunger Games" has officially begun to meet everyone. Will you choose to buy it? I will definitely buy it, I have to say that I have become a die-hard book lover of this teenager! —Stephen King.
On the day that Bantam Press released the release trailer of "The Hunger Games 3", Stephen King, the king of American thriller novels, publicly promoted Chen Xueqian in the magazine.
And this article was like a call for the pre-sale of the novel, and Bantam Press was frightened by the pre-sale numbers of the book that day.
A novel earns 1 million copies on the day of pre-sale, a statistic that almost everyone is stupid. Although many media expected that as the last installment of the "Hunger Games" series, the popularity would be extraordinary, but they were still intimidated by this pre-sale.
Even Stephen King, who admires Chen Xueqian, was dumbfounded when he learned of this data, and to be honest, the gold content of the title of best-selling author in the United States is quite high, because books in the United States are much more expensive than in other regions.
And if a book sells 1 million copies, it will be certified as a gold medal author in the United States. Since the beginning of the best-selling book record in the United States, the total number of all gold medal authors will not exceed 100, compared to the number of extra pictures on the market every year, you can imagine how high the gold content is.
And yet now that a book has reached this standard in pre-sales, how is this not shocking?
In the face of this achievement, Chen Xueqian was also stunned, when "The Hunger Games 3" was released in his previous life, through the hard promotion of the movie around the world, it once created a miracle of adding 8 million sales a week.
But in this life, Chen Xueqian did not choose to put it on the big screen, Chen Xueqian really didn't expect to create such achievements.
But no matter how surprised he was, at least the news made his increasingly strapped funds start to become more abundant.
However, these incomes are still a little insufficient for Chen Xueqian. Coupled with the cost of the overseas distribution of "Full House of Romance" a year ago, Chen Xueqian still only has $10 million on his books at this time. This figure is still quite short of the amount of investment he wanted to make in this movie in his previous life.
Chen Xueqian was a little clumsy about this for a while.
It's just that things have developed to this stage, and Chen Xueqian can only bite the bullet, but he can't do it, he can only cash out some NetEase shares in advance.
However, Chen Xueqian is a little relieved that because most of his crew members are from South Korea, the cost is much less than that of Hollywood.
In addition, he doesn't need to find any big-name stars for this movie, which can also leave him with a lot of money. Coupled with the price level at this time compared with the gap between the price level and the movie in Qian's previous life, Chen Xueqian is confident that the cost will be controlled within 20 million.
In this way, he only needs to find another 5 million investment to basically complete the movie, which can't help but make Chen Xueqian breathe a sigh of relief. (To be continued.) )
