Chapter 278: I Have a Lot of Money!
"The production budget of "Transformers" will reach 1 billion yuan!"
When Wang Shang said that the investment in "Transformers" would be as high as 1 billion, countless domestic media reporters were shocked in an instant.
Now most of the domestic blockbuster movies are still entangled in the investment of 500 million, and the "Fast and Furious" series and the "Biochemical Apocalypse" series are such representatives, 500 million is already the highest domestic production fund today.
And now it is said that the production fund is as high as 1 billion!!
It's so shocking that it's twice as much.
Moreover, 98% of the box office of movies in China cannot reach 1 billion, and now the investment in a movie has soared to 1 billion, does this still have to be lived? ?
After this news came out, did other film companies dare to mix up in the film industry?
The news is just too hard to digest.
Wang Shang originally wanted to announce the cooperation between the military and the military, but then he felt that it was forgotten, next time, so as not to cause them indigestion.
At the end of the press conference, Wang Shang deliberately showed all the media reporters how Transformers were combined with reality and made into a movie, which caused a burst of exclamations.
After the press conference, it was 12 o'clock at noon, but these media reporters didn't have any food at all, and the vicious dogs pounced on their interview cars, and they wanted to report these explosive news as soon as possible!
The headquarters of the various media outlets had been waiting for a long time, after a brief message was learned in the middle of the press conference. I can't wait to announce the news through the online platform. However, at the beginning, the reports were all brief news, and the detailed information could not be sent back until noon after the reporter summarized the scene.
At this time, many fans and filmmakers who have been paying attention to the press conference quickly discovered these brief news. When I saw the words '3D' and '1 billion', my heart was tickled. They needed further details.
Soon, after 12:30, a lot of detailed information about the press conference of "Transformers" appeared on major entertainment media websites.
"The Application of CG Technology": Wang Shang bluntly said that under CG technology, there is only the unthinkable, and there is nothing that cannot be done. Under the operation of Tianwang film and television technicians, we know how a transformer is formed and how it is combined with reality. - Tomato Newspaper.
"The New Revolution in Chinese Film Technology. The Arrival of 3D Technology: At a press conference. Tianwang Film and Television showed us a 3D movie, Wang Shang threatened that Tianwang Film and Television has mastered mature 3D technology, and "Transformers" will become the first film in China to apply 3D technology. βStarlight.
"Will invest 1 billion, the first investment in Chinese history": Wang Shang once again made countless people's jaws drop to the ground. A single film invested 1 billion yuan. Is it a madman or a fool? At this time, no one would say that he was a fool. However, with the huge fans accumulated in 7 years of "Transformers". Coupled with Wang Shang's influence and 3D movie gimmicks, it should not be a big problem for this film to break through the $1 billion box office mark. -- Oriental Entertainment News.
"The investment in "Transformers" has put other films to shame, and most of the movies have not broken 100 million at the box office. Wang Shang raised the investment in "Transformers" to 1 billion yuan, setting a new record for domestic film investment, which made other film companies embarrassed. -- "Pearl Daily".
"Transformers" suddenly became the darling of the entertainment industry, the news about it is overwhelming, and all entertainment media across the country are reporting news related to it, if the entertainment newspaper does not report it, it will become an outsider and lose face. Newspapers outside the entertainment industry, such as Economic News and Minsheng Daily, are also reported by many media.
The whole society is talking about this "Transformers".
Whether it is CG technology or 3D technology, or a high investment of 1 billion, they are all talked about.
As reported by the media, many film companies are indeed a little ashamed after seeing the investment of 1 billion yuan, and when others invest 1 billion in a movie, they are reluctant to invest even 100 million.
"Hey~~"
Some studios are stimulated and can't help but find some blockbusters to shoot.
There are also some film companies that still don't dare to spend a lot of money to invest, what if they lose money? That's a loss of hundreds of millions, and not all companies have this kind of arrogance.
And when those Gangsi heard the news, they were boiling with joy. Many Gangsi even burst into tears: "It's finally a movie, I've been waiting for a long time." β
ββββββββ
Hollywood. Paramount.
The filming plan for "Transformers" soon spread to the United States through the American media, and although it only appeared in some lesser-known film newspapers, it quickly caught the attention of Paramount.
"Transformers is filming?" Johansen, one of Paramount's head of investment, was shocked when he saw the news. When "Transformers" first appeared in 2002, Paramount realized that "Transformers" might achieve a high box office in the movie, and its brilliant achievements in the fields of comics, animation, and toys also proved this, so Paramount has always wanted to obtain its film rights from Wang Shang's hands.
It's a pity that Wang Shang never let go, which made Paramount depressed, but just agreed to cooperate.
Soon he saw another newspaper: "'Transformers' is going to be shot in a new generation of 3D, and the technology can be comparable to Hollywood." β
"Just kidding, how can 3D technology be achieved by Chinese films." Johansen scoffed at the newspaper's remarks that Huaxia's 3D technology could be compared to the United States, "The small newspapers nowadays are really crazy, and they really report regardless of the facts for the sake of sales." β
Johansen still does not believe that Huaxia can match the level of the United States in terms of 3D technology, because the new generation of 3D technology contractor for "The Lord of the Rings" is the digital field, and the developer of 3D technology in the digital field is James Brown. Cameron, and the time to enter the application stage was only at the end of last year.
As for the new generation of 3D technology for "Harry Potter", Weta Digital was also developed at the end of last year.
In other words, in the whole world, there is still Weta Digital in the company's own digital field that actually masters 3D technology.
Now, Huaxia, a country that has always had a sluggish film industry, even claims that they have mastered a new generation of 3D technology at this time?
"The joke is too big, isn't it?"
However, Johansen still has some research on Wang Shang, a director who has risen in recent years, and this is a magical young Chinese man, and he feels that he should not brag like others.
In the end, Johansen felt: "Maybe he has mastered the new generation of 3D technology, but it is definitely worse than the technology mastered by the digital field and Weta Digital." β
"Maybe you can buy 3D technology from him, as long as Paramount masters 3D technology, he won't need to make any movies in the future." Thinking of this, John immediately called the president of operations.
An hour later, Donald, Paramount's head of distribution, received a call from the president of operations, asking him to go to the Magic City in China to get permission to invest in Transformers, but his more important task was to obtain the licensing/transfer of 3D technology. As for why Donald was chosen, because Donald's personal relationship with Wang Shang is the best, and most of Wang Shang's films are released by him as a direct intermediary.
After Donald received the call, he immediately threw away all his affairs and went straight to the Huaxia Demon Capital with his two subordinates.
After Donald got off the plane, he didn't care about rest and dinner, so he hurried to the Tianwang Building, where the Demon Capital Tianwang Film and Television Company was located, and when they came to the building, they saw a scene that stunned them.
The hall of the Tianwang Building seemed to be a vegetable market at this time, and the crowd was extremely dense, bustling, and noisy.
"I'm the general manager of xx company, I want to see Chairman Wang, or Mr. Bi, I want to invest in "Transformers"!!"
"I've got money! Lots of money!! I'm going to invest in Transformers!! β
"I'm going to invest in advertising!!"
"I want to see Wang Dong!!!"
Countless people rolled up their sleeves, their hair was scattered, and they rushed straight to the front desk waiter, looking excited, and constantly yelling loudly!!
The whole hall was filled with all kinds of high sounds, and the slightest whisper was not inaudible at all.
And the waitress beauty and security guard at the front desk were all sweating profusely, and they were really busy.
"What's going on?" Donald and his two subordinates were dumbfounded...... (To be continued......)
ps: Accompany my dad to Shunde tomorrow, tomorrow's update will be in the evening.
