The cooperation with Wang Jianlin was finally completed.

Although the price of a discount is almost equivalent to giving it away for free, for the sake of the entire Wanda Plaza, Wang Jianlin also gritted his teeth and agreed.

Of course, for the stay of China Resources Vanguard, Zhang Ning just communicated with Han Xue, without a word, just the next day, China Resources Vanguard had sent inspectors to inspect Wanda Plaza.

一qiē is very smooth lì.

The layout of foreign cinemas has been successful, and the cooperation between domestic cinemas and Wanda is also under intense preparation.

Although the location of Wanda Plaza is a bit biased, it is not in the city center. But Zhang Ning believes that as long as the Romance of the Dragon and Snake comes out, he has a way to attract these fans to the cinema.

Now the task left to Zhang Ning is to shoot the Romance of the Dragon and Snake brand new.

"No, this part doesn't work, remake."

"Wu Jing, you don't have any momentum at all, reshoot."

"This violent scene is too petty, are you making a domestic bad movie, do you do it again."

"Yes, good, keep ......"

From the action to the lines, from the lines to the eyes, from the eyes to the entire layout scene, in order to achieve the best effect, Zhang Ning has to complete it at any cost. This also makes the filming cost of the entire Romance of the Dragon and Snake like running water, uproar, just one day's turnover cost reached tens of millions, and one day, it even exceeded 90 million, almost trillions.

"Director Zhang, can you recover the cost if you shoot like this?"

Yuan Heping asked Zhang Ning in private, with some uncertainties.

Although Yuan Heping is only a martial artist, he doesn't know how much money was spent on the filming of the entire Romance of the Dragon and Snake. But just what he has seen these days, he estimates, at least 300 million yuan has been spent so far. Moreover, the movie is not finished yet. Not only that, but the post-production special effects have not yet begun. According to this shooting method, the cost of shooting this movie alone may exceed 100 million US dollars.

100 million US dollars, that is, about 800 million yuan.

Such a number, even Yuan Heping, who has been making movies for decades, can't help but feel shocked.

Even if $100 million is not the world's highest investment, it is not far from the world's highest.

Of course, that's not the point.

The most important thing is that the highest record of the domestic film box office so far is only about 200 million yuan.

This is still the record of Zhang Yimou's hero creation back then.

However, now Zhang Ning's Romance of the Dragon and Snake, the shooting cost alone is 4 times that of the hero.

If such a movie were to be filmed, how much box office would it take to recoup the cost?

It would be an astronomical amount.

Yuan Heping already felt that Zhang Ning seemed to just want to make a movie, or just to complete one of his ideas. Although this seems a little incredible, in order to complete an idea, to spend 800 million yuan, is this too much to treat money as money. Moreover, this does not include the cost of making the later production, plus the cost of the later production, it is definitely more than 1 billion. It's just that at the point where Zhang Ning is here, billions of yuan are nothing to him. Don't say that it is for an idea to spend billions of yuan, even if it is for a trivial thing that seems insignificant, but as long as Zhang Ning thinks it is beneficial to him, he may throw a higher price.

"Hehe, Director Yuan, don't worry, money is not a problem, whether you can recover the cost is not a problem."

Zhang Ning smiled inexplicably.

After filming the Romance of the Dragon and Snake, Zhang Ning didn't think about not recovering the cost.

No matter how big the investment is now, Zhang Ning has a way to get him back at the box office.

Although, this seems a little incredible, those who are familiar with Zhang Ning know it.

Zhang Ning has never traded at a loss, even if he loses money now, he will get the price back in the future.

"Let's still film, I finished the last 10-minute fight, and the entire Romance of the Dragon and Snake is almost complete. However, the last 10 minutes are the climax. Director Yuan, I don't want anything to go wrong. I also hope that Director Yuan can give full play to your ideas in the near future, don't be afraid of not being able to do it, only unexpected. Even if we move the martial arts scene to space, we have to make such an effect. ”

Another half a month has passed.

In the last 10 minutes of footage, Zhang Ning filmed for more than half a month, and it ended perfectly.

……

"Everyone, this period of time, everyone has worked hard."

The Romance of the Dragon and Snake was completed, and all the actors finally breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Ning held the wine at the finale banquet where the film was completed, and saluted the actors and all the members of the crew.

"Haha, Director Zhang, fortunately it's over, if it doesn't end, we're going to hang up."

"Director Zhang, you are the strictest director I have ever seen, there is no one."

"Yes, Director Zhang, I believe that this film will definitely shock the whole of China."

"Yes, I have special confidence in the Romance of the Dragon and Snake, and I can't wait for him to be released now."

"If after the release, I will mobilize the whole family, relatives and friends, all of them to cheer."

As a crew member, they chatted happily while drinking.

"But, everyone, I'm tired for a while, but after filming the Romance of the Dragon and Snake, I know what a movie is."

"Yes, I feel that way, too. Compared to the previous films, I really feel that a lot of the previous movies were just fun. ”

"That's right, I really hope that in the future, major domestic film and television companies can be like Mr. Zhang Ning, no matter the cost, to dedicate really good films and really good movies to everyone."

It's just that, speaking of this, Yuan Heping sighed, "It's difficult, it's difficult." ”

"I don't think there's a chance left."

In addition to Mr. Zhang Ning, who is willing to spend so much money in China, which film and television company have you seen that is willing to spend so much.

Take a look at the production costs of major film market companies over the years, and more than 20 million yuan is already very good.

If it exceeds 50 million, it can simply cause a sensation across the country.

As for the 100 million system of zuò funds, it is unprecedented.

How could they come up with so much money to smash into the film market?

"Director Yuan is too right, too many film and television companies are too short-sighted, I really think that I can fool fans by messing around. Take a look at the reviews of those movie fans, who are better than professional film critics. I sometimes wonder if this kind of filming continues in China, I really don't know if our Chinese films will go to a dead end. ”

This is the voice of most of the crew members, including Yuan Heping.

He has long sensed the danger of Chinese films.

Especially when Hollywood blockbusters hit the domestic market one after another, Yuan Heping felt that Chinese films were in danger.

It's just that he is just a martial arts guide, and he has no way to change this situation.

The topic that suddenly popped up suddenly made the whole scene a lot more depressing.

Hearing this, Zhang Ning said, "Everyone, our Chinese films will never go to a dead end." At least, as long as I survive for a day, I won't let Chinese cinema go to the end. ”
